Chapter 4: The Face of a Dead Man
We came this time to investigate the laughter of the female corpse, and the laughter on this stone tablet undoubtedly pierced our most sensitive nerves like a needle.
I have a guess that this strange face can appear on the stone tablet, especially if it is hidden in the fault, it is not so simple as a random portrayal, what is it hiding.
It's just that I pondered for a while, but I didn't come up with a reason, and finally Pan Zi looked down along the strange face and found that under it, there was a line of small characters faintly engraved.
This little word was originally crawled all over by plants, but it was cleaned up by the two of us just now, and the red water that flowed out soaked tightly. I reached for my backpack, pulled a small piece of toilet paper out of it, and wiped it on it.
After cleaning up, this line of small print was completely exposed, and it was written "Forbidden area is dangerous!" ”
I was quite puzzled, and said in my heart, isn't this the boundary of Suiyuan Village? Why was it still a forbidden area before?
Now the two of us didn't have the heart to hurry, so we squatted together beside this stone monument. I took out the small gift box again, looked at the bone bell inside, and I had a hunch that this bell would definitely be useful to us, but I couldn't say what it was for.
At this time, there was a sudden laughter in the distance, giggling, like a three- or four-year-old child messing around.
In this kind of wilderness, this kind of laughter suddenly appeared, it was absolutely terrifying, and Pan Zi and I were a little hairy, and we looked around together.
It's just that we didn't pay attention to the specific direction from which this laughter came from, and now we want to find it, but we can't figure it out, I said that this laughter appeared on the left side of the two of us, but Pan Zi suspected that this laughter was on the right.
If the blood sprayed by the stone was the cause of the plant juice, then this laughter would definitely not make sense of the plant, and I have never heard a plant call it in my memory.
We both stood up and waited with our ears pricked up, hoping that the laughter would come again. But before the laughter could be heard, other weirdness appeared.
A black cloud appeared from a distance, and it was very regular, and it quickly approached the two of us along the dirt road.
I could vaguely tell that it was a flock of birds, and the occasional sound of wah-wah made me sure that it was all crows.
I've never seen such a large flock of crows, especially since they don't look very friendly, so I don't want to make a fuss, so I said to Panzi, "Let's go to the grass to avoid the limelight!" ”
We raised our feet and whizzed into the bushes together. We both stopped fifty meters away from the dirt road, and we both looked up together in half-crouched bodies.
The crows were very fast, and as soon as we were squatting, and before we could even breathe, they rushed over, and I thought they would continue to fly over without stopping, but I didn't expect them to suddenly slow down.
Panzi and I didn't do anything excessive, let alone provoke them, but one of them took the lead and led the group of flat-haired brutes and rushed towards us.
We were forced to have no moves, and we didn't have time to avoid it, so I had to call Panzi and prepare to fight!
It's not too difficult for us to fight against a group of crows in normal times, but it's strange that these crows are very smart, and they surrounded us and pounced in all directions.
It is said that two fists are hard to beat four hands, and the two of us paid close attention, but after a stalemate for a while, they also fell into the road. Pan Zi was careless and was scratched a few times by a crow on his neck.
The crow's claws are sharp, and he grabbed a few blood holes out of his neck at once, these birds are all wild, I looked at Panzi's wound, and I was secretly worried in my heart, I was really afraid that this bird had a disease like bird flu.
Pan Zi couldn't bear it, snorted, turned his head and fled. I wanted to tell him not to run away, because in the face of this flock of flying birds, we couldn't escape if we wanted to.
But I shouted a few times, Pan Zi's heart was confused, and he didn't listen to me. In the end, I couldn't do anything, and I couldn't leave him alone, so I had to turn around and run after him.
The crows followed after us, in a desperate stance. In this way, we ran while fighting, and it was estimated that we would run out of a mile, and it was not easy to walk in the grass, and in the end we were not only scarred, but also tired and panting.
This group of crows are also tired, temporarily let us go, flying in the air, I can't say how I feel now, my heart is very angry, but also with a trace of helplessness, I didn't expect that we just entered the boundary of Suiyuan Village, and before we did anything right, we were bullied by a group of birds.
I knew that this group of crows would definitely launch a second wave of attacks, so I cheered Pan Zi up, told him to cheer up, don't run away for a while, and we worked together to try to send them away as soon as possible.
But then something unexpected happened. A short, rapid and strange laugh came from the bushes ahead, "Hee-hee-hee! ”
I was stimulated by laughter, and said in my heart that I was really afraid of something, the crow hadn't done it yet, and this ghost laughed again.
Pan Zi was also forced to be anxious, took out a desperate attitude, grinned hideously, and shouted, "Damn, Lao Tzu fights!" ”
He and I stood back to back, ready. Strange that when the crow heard this laughter, he was so timid that he could not care about the two of us, and he turned around, took out as fast as he could, and flapped his wings and fled back.
It is said that the danger of the crows is lifted, and we should breathe a sigh of relief, but in fact, we have become more vigilant, and these crows are afraid of ghost laughter, what does it mean?
This time, Panzi and I both heard it very clearly, knew the source of the laughter, and we both looked at the same bush without reminding anyone.
This bush is so large that it is almost impossible to see the end, and the bushes in it are so dense that they are at least as tall as a person. I told Pan Zi to be careful, and told him that we should go inside and see what that laughter was.
Panzi nodded and said okay. First, I picked up a bush and found a place to stay. It gives me the impression that this shrub is very hard and quite elastic, and when I pick them up, I have to use a bit of force, otherwise they will all be squeezed back.
I competed with this bush, which saved Panzi trouble, and he followed behind, not very hard.
I listened with my ears pricked up as I pulled at the bushes, and although I couldn't see anything inside, my eyes were looking around at the same time. I think I was careful enough, but I was put on the side by the surprise.
Just as I was picking up another handful of bushes, all of a sudden, a man's face peeked out of the bushes in front of me.
This person's face is not like a normal person, Bai Sensen has no blood at all, protruding eyes, a big grin, and a sinister expression.
Its probe happened to be in front of my eyes, and it almost touched the tip of my nose with me.
I was so closely watched by such a dead face that for a moment, I was so frightened that the hairs on my body stood on end.
I screamed and my head backed away.
Pan Zi walked behind, and I don't know what the situation was, not only did he not retreat, but he was also knocked on the back of my head and nose. He covered his nose and snorted.
I was blocked by Pan Zi, and the fear in my heart had not yet subsided, so I hurriedly flashed to the side again, and wanted to step back a little further, keeping a certain distance from the dead man's face.
When I flashed, Panzi's vision widened, and he saw the dead man's face. With just one glance, he forgot about the pain, and he was so frightened that he was stunned for a moment.
Then he launched a ruthless attack, he was really amazing, he pounced on it with a switchblade, stabbed the dead man in the face, and scolded your mother and your mother in his mouth.
I noticed a detail, when Pan Zi's switchblade stabbed the dead man in the face, he sneered and entered, if this was really a human face, no matter how hard Pan Zi used, he would not have stabbed so deeply.
I reacted and thought to myself, could this be a fake? I suppressed the feeling of my heart pounding and shouted, telling him to calm down.
Pan Zi's whole person was a little wooden, and he stabbed several times before he could react, he looked at me, and touched the dead man's face with a hint of vigilance.
It happened that there were holes in the dead man's face in several places, so Panzi picked at the holes, and when he stretched out his fingers, he brought out a piece of straw mixed with cotton.
This is a scarecrow. I wondered again, and I leaned over and groped around the man's face, and used my knife to cut some of the bushes in the vicinity to make room.
After the busy work, the whole body of the scarecrow appeared in front of the two of us.
It was about life-size, and it was stuck diagonally on the ground by a wooden stake, especially the face that deliberately leaned forward some distance, although it was already full of holes, but it was still smirking at the two of us.
I know that a scarecrow is a kind of puppet that guards the field and prevents birds from spoiling food, but here is the bush, and the shrub is taller than the scarecrow, so what's the point of putting such a simulated scarecrow?
Pan Zi thought about another aspect, he stared at the scarecrow and asked me, "Du Rui, did you say that the laughter just now was made by this scarecrow?" ”
At first glance, Panzi's words are a bit outrageous, but after searching for so long, we didn't find anyone, only the scarecrow in front of us, was it really said by Panzi? What's so weird in this scarecrow that can make people laugh?
