Chapter 60: The Immortal Child
The woods are not very large, and the edge of the woods can be faintly seen. We followed the old woman into the woods, did not go far, found that the old woman in front of us was very abnormal in front of a few trees kept spinning, this turn is an hour, until the moon appeared is still spinning, observed for a while, I and Niu Fat speechless leaning under the roots, helplessly looking at the old woman in front of the circle. He Yi took out the camera to film the old woman's every move as evidence.
Niu Pang didn't know where to take out a bag of melon seeds, which gave people the feeling of watching a play, and commented from time to time. I sat on the ground and looked at the old woman in front of me, and I always felt in my heart that something was wrong, and I couldn't tell what was wrong.
He Yi took the camera and kicked Niu Fat who was sitting on the ground, "This old lady looks like a robot?" ”
"How?" I asked, standing up.
"The old lady repeats her last action every ten minutes, and she is in the same position." He Yi brought the camera in front of me.
The camera shows the beginning, "This is the beginning, you remember the position of the old lady's foot, there is a rock, a thumb away from the tip of the shoe." "Talking about enlarging in the picture, it is really a thumb's distance from the tip of the shoe.
Then He Yi fast-forwarded the picture, until the picture paused, I clearly saw that the old lady on the picture was still in the previous position, and after zooming in, I saw the position of the stone and the old woman's toes again, there was a thumb-sized gap. If it weren't for the progress bar below, I would even think it would be an infinite loop, where the screen is constantly looping, and even the action is the same.
I didn't say anything, my eyes began to focus on the old woman who was still circulating not far away, and twenty minutes proved that the old woman had been spinning in circles, and the movements were exactly the same every five minutes, like a mechanical program loop.
"Niu Fat, could this be a ghost hitting the wall?" I asked the stunned cow fat.
He Yi preemptively replied to me, "What's the situation, the ghost hits the wall?" I said you two are a pair of neurotics. ”
Niu Fat turned away from He Yi's face with one hand, and said to me, "Probably not, do you see a soul around you?" ”
I watched it for a week, and there really was no soul, and my psychic card didn't give any reaction. "Otherwise, let's ask the lizard, at least he's more familiar here than we are." I took the lizard out of my pocket, and the dead horse was used as a live horse doctor.
When the lizard came out, it was not in a hurry to answer our words, but went down from my pocket to the old woman, and rushed to the old woman's face with all his might. In an instant, the old woman in front of us turned into a paper figure, although the painting is vivid, but the paper and the person, people with eyes can distinguish it. The paper man continued to repeat his previous movements, and the quilt behind him fell to the ground with a sound like killing a pig.
He Yi was completely dumbfounded, threw down the camera, ran to me, hugged my arm and trembled, and couldn't hear anything in his mouth, "Ma Madong, I'm not~ It's not a dream." ”
I looked at He Yi and sighed, "We said it a long time ago, you can't get involved in this matter, even if you find out, few people will believe it." ”
"And what are you doing?" He Yi grabbed me with a little more force.
Niu Fat snatched my words, "I said that we are ghost catchers, do you believe it?" Look at your statue, there is no one in this virtue. ”
"Are you black and white?" He Yi's brain was frightened, let go of my hand, and wanted to run back.
I don't think there is any way to explain to He Yi now, so I resolutely gave up the explanation and grabbed He Yi who was going to escape, here in the wilderness, in case I ran around and got lost, and I had to say another thing if I couldn't get out.
The lizard returned to me and climbed up to my shoulder, "This is an illusion, the old woman should have left a long time ago." You've been discovered. ”
"When?" Niu Fat had an innocent expression on his face.
The lizard flicked its tail, "It should have leaked from the beginning." ”
Niu Fat was amused, "Then are we going back?" ”
The lizard stretched out its head, looked at the old woman who was still spinning in circles in front of her, and stuck out her tongue, "You guys don't know if you've been tricked." But it's not like there's nothing to be done. ”
"Do you have a way?" I asked the lizard.
"The lizard body I use is a dead lizard, and the old woman can't feel my existence, and he doesn't want to think about how many years I've been dead." The lizard said disdainfully, and I thought, this is not something to be proud of, since entering the lizard's body, this female ghost has become more and more arrogant.
"What the hell do you do? Can we catch up, this old lady has dumped us for hours, is there any hope? ”
The lizard stuck out its tongue and licked my face, "Of course, as long as we have that baggage, we can find it." The lizard stared at the quilt bag that had been dropped. Fat cow, go and pick up the baggage. ”
Niu Fat's eyes widened when he heard the lizard's words, "Why me?" If I don't go, the dead will hide from it, and if the boss doesn't have to come, I won't come to kill him. ”
"Okay, how to use Luo Token, then I don't know." The lizard said in a strange way.
As soon as Niu Pang heard this, his crying face immediately leaked into laughter, and he immediately leaned towards me, "What you said is true?" Brother Niu, I haven't figured it out for several days. ”
"After all, you're not smart." The lizard said in a surprising voice.
Niu Fat pouted, didn't say anything, knowing that he was going to coax the lizard to say the method of Luo Token. Silently broke off a branch, cautiously walked to the side of the burden, picked up the burden with the branch, took it back, and unceremoniously left it on the ground.
The furoshiki has the size of two quilts and has no features. The futon with patches is quietly placed on the floor. It's hard to imagine something in here.
I cautiously crouched down and untied the knot in my baggage. Niu Pang picked up the quilt with a wooden stick, and at the moment of opening, everyone present was dumbfounded, and in the quilt bag was a child, who looked like he was two or three years old, lying half-dead in the quilt, only his chest was undulating. The appearance cannot be complimented, and if you want to describe it, you can only say that it is not particularly ugly, and the ugly one can't tell the gender. The hair is three or three, the little one is terrible, the sharp-beaked monkey gills, but the body is fat like a lotus root.
I asked the lizard, full of doubts, "Why is there a child here?" ”
The lizard looked at the child, apparently only knowing, "I don't know, I can't feel the breath of a living person in him, I didn't expect it to be a child, but~" said this and stopped.
"But this kid is alive." Niu Fat took the lizard's words, and his voice was cold.
As soon as Niu Fat's voice fell, the child in the quilt on the ground rolled and wanted to stand up, but he couldn't stand up, opened a pair of mouse eyes, looked at the three of us and a lizard, opened his mouth, and smiled. The teeth in the mouth are not long, they have been corroded and broken, and only the roots of the teeth are leaking black teeth.
"You're talking to lizards, you two insane." He Yi, who had been holding on to me, suddenly screamed, making me cry and laugh, and this guy was too slow to react.
Niu Pang poked the child with a wooden stick, "Hey, boy, are you a rescuer invited by the monkey?" "Niu Fat is purely an idle egg pain.
The child moved, grinned at Niu Fat, and made a hoarse and ugly voice with two words, "Fatty? ”
"Will it? Can talk? Niu Fat was frightened.
I sighed and crouched down, "Nonsense, I'm two years old, can I not speak." I turned my head to look at the child, "Little sister ~ little brother ~ Eh, child, how old are you?" "I really don't see the gender.
The child moved on the ground, wanted to sit up, couldn't sit up, I reached out to help out of kindness, if it wasn't for the quick retraction of my hand, I was almost bitten, "You stupid, my sister is almost forty, you haven't grown a little kid." ”
I was dumbfounded by the child, and it took me a long time to recover, "You're forty? "I pointed to his small body, and I didn't believe it when I was killed, I have never seen anyone with dwarfism, I have never seen such a small one, and the medical life is definitely not forty, and the level of medical care in rural areas is limited.
The child pointed to the stick in Niu Fat's hand, "Fatty, help me sit up with the stick." He said in a commanding tone to Niu Fat.
"Why should I help you?" Niu Fat threw the stick on the ground.
"You'd better help me, there are wolves in this mountain, believe it or not I can call them over?" The child said.
Niu Pang snorted coldly, "Don't make trouble, when Lao Tzu is scared, call over, who are you, say call over." ”
"You'd better help him, I remember when I was alive I heard that there were people outside the city who could learn wolf howling, and at that time wolves were rampant in the mountains, and the mountain people specially learned wolf howls." The lizard said.
Niu Fat swallowed his saliva, his face full of disbelief, but he spinelessly picked up the wooden stick and stretched it out to the child, "Wolf? Let's hit the end and hit the end. ”
The child sat up, wrapped himself in a quilt, leaned against his back, panting tiredly, and seemed to be not in good health. "What are you doing with us?"
"I'll have to ask what you're doing." I replied simply.
The child touched his nose, "What can we do?" You're so funny, too. ”
Niu Fat squatted down and curled the corners of his mouth, "How did those people in the town die?" I don't need to say it. ”
The child smiled, leaking out his toothless mouth, "You're so funny, what do the dead people in town have to do with us?" ”
The lizard crawled down from me, its eyes so red that I was surprised to see it, "Do you think you're alive now?" "The sound of the lizard reminds me of Snow White's stepmother, with bad intentions.
The child's smiling face paused, and he was stunned by the lizard's words, and he lost his previous sense of ease. "I'm sitting here in a good way, what do you think?"
"I don't need to say it, you also know that you are different from everyone else, you can live without gasping." The lizard's words were plain, but they made my back sockets cold.
The child was only surprised for a few seconds, looked at the lizard with disdain, and wanted to stand up and look at the lizard, but he didn't have the extra strength to support him, raised his arms and raised his arms, and finally put it down helplessly, lying on his back on the quilt and panting.
"Kid." Niu Pang said this, looked at the child's face and paused, "Eldest sister, would you like to help us find your mother?" "I have to say that Niu Fat sees the wind and makes the rudder's kung fu better, but this sounds more like a human trafficker. Besides, people are in their forties, and it's useless for you to give a train of lollipops.
"No." The child replied neatly and cut off the words under the cow fat.
Seeing that the child refused, Niu Fat stretched out his index finger and hooked it, "Boy, believe it or not, Grandpa Niu called you to death with a finger." In exchange for endless contempt.
The lizard crawled across from the child and looked into the child's eyes from bottom to top, "We are the same, we hope for death." ”
The lizard's words worked, and the child's eyes gradually looked at the lizard, a man and an animal communicate with their thoughts like a master of the world, while we, mortals, can only look at a dead man and an animal like fools.
Niu Fat came to my side and raised his chin, "Ma Dong, they won't be murdered for money, they are looking for a substitute for the unjust souls who can't enter the underworld like them, they have two ghosts, two stand-ins are enough, so what are your last words to tell me, don't worry, I will marry your daughter-in-law, and I will earn the money for you, and besides, you know a cute girl below, know a civil servant, maybe you can also make a ghost, and when I go down, you have to welcome me personally." ”
