The wolf howl that suddenly appeared in the cat village, I really heard it, and I didn't feel sleepy. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

I immediately remembered that the village chief of Maoshizhai had told me during the day not to go out in the second half of the night, could it be because wolves often haunt the village at night, and it might kill people?

Thinking of this, my mind suddenly tensed.

I could tell from the sound that at least one or two of these wolves had already entered the village, and the dark shadow that had just passed outside the brigade's office further deepened my judgment.

For the sake of safety, I quickly asked Zhao Hong to lower his voice, and at the same time crawled to the crack of the door of the wooden house, and looked carefully outside, hoping to see the scenery and situation outside.

Outside the hut, the shadow seemed to evaporate, and I didn't see the slightest sign of the wolf outside the village.

But just as I searched and was about to give up, I suddenly found an "incomprehensible" picture.

In the second half of the night, the weather was rather gloomy, but even so, I saw a few villagers walking out of their homes in a few wooden huts not far from the brigade's room.

The villagers moved mechanically and silently, as if they were afraid of disturbing something, and two of them carried a pair of stretchers.

I immediately looked at the stretcher, and saw a living man on it, bound by ropes and quilts, and showing only a grim white face that was almost dead.

As the sound and frequency of the wolf's roar increased, these people seemed to be hypnotized by the wolf's howl, and with the bound people, they staggered to the same place, and soon disappeared into the dense forest behind a house, as if they were going to ...... with the wolf Meeting.

The strange behavior of the villagers under the moonlit night, Zhao Hong and I muttered in our hearts.

The village chief didn't let us run out in the middle of the night, but why did the villagers do it? Aren't you afraid of wolves? The wolves have entered the village, not afraid of hurting people?

Puzzled, I turned my head and asked Zhao Hong what he thought, should we go out to have a look, or follow the village chief's words and stay in the house honestly.

Zhao Hong thought about it, and suddenly asked me: "Do you know 'Gonghu Ye'?" ”

I shook my head, indicating that I didn't know.

Zhao Hong said a little nervously, when he was very young, he heard his grandmother tell the story of "Gong Tiger Master", grandma said that at that time there were many tigers in his hometown Yimeng Mountain, because tigers often eat people and hurt people, and people can not stop it, so for a time it was formed "Tiger Trouble", there are more than a dozen villages extinct because of tiger trouble, and the whole Yimeng Mountain area is full of white bone deserted villages.

At that time, in order to be able to continue to live, many villages came up with the truth of "Gonghu Ye".

The so-called "Gong Tiger Lord" both to the Tiger Lord, the process is to take advantage of the evening, put an old and weak living person and meat offerings on the altar of the Tiger God Grandfather, and then go to see the next day, if the Tiger eats people, it means that the whole village is not suitable for people to live, it is necessary to retreat a hundred miles, to move the place to the Tiger Grandpa, if the person is still alive, it means that the Tiger Lord is gracious, so that the villagers can thrive in this land.

Speaking of which, Zhao Hong said to me unscrupulously: "I feel that the behavior of these villagers is a bit similar to the tiger master in our hometown. ”

It's okay if Zhao Hong doesn't say it, but when I talk about it, I really feel ...... There is some truth to that.

Aren't the actions of these villagers extremely similar to the customs of the Yimeng Mountain Gonghu Ye? It's just that in the cat village, the object of sacrifice has changed from a tiger to a mountain wolf.

There seems to be only one explanation, right? Otherwise, what does it mean for them to take advantage of the night to carry a big living person to the wolf howl, and they are still tied up, afraid that people will run away?

Thinking about this, from the vague words of the village chief to the bloody reality in front of me, I sincerely feel angry at the poverty and ignorance of the cat village.

When I used to read books, I always saw books that swore that poverty and ignorance were inseparable "brothers", which used to be funny, but now I have a deep understanding of the piercing meaning of this sentence.

Filled with righteous indignation, I hurriedly stood up, woke up the brothers, explained the situation briefly, and prepared to go out to rescue the unfortunate woman who had been taken as an "offering."

During this period, I told everyone that people's lives are at stake, and the old squad leader just doesn't let us take care of it, otherwise we don't deserve the title of the people's soldiers. And when we entered the mountains, each of us brought a sapper shovel and a tactical knife, and there were enough guys to deal with the wolves.

I encouraged: "Raise soldiers for a thousand days, use soldiers for a while, we are soldiers, and we will always consider the lives and property of the people!" You can't bow to feudal superstition. ”

At my instigation, everyone was mobilized, and there was not a single one who did not actively participate. After consulting with each other, we took the guy style and went straight to the place where the villagers had fled.

Following the sound of "ghosts crying wolf", our group quickly walked out of the cat village, followed an embarrassing winding mountain path through the sparse mountain forest, and saw a bean-sized fire in a rotten wooden house that had almost collapsed.

From our point of view, the house was eerie, with thick cobwebs and moss wrapping the wood tightly, adding to the bleak ghostly atmosphere out of thin air.

The wolf howl had stopped at this moment, and in the silence, I asked Baturu, who was the best at it, to follow me for the sake of safety, and to check the situation first, and if the villagers really sacrificed the wolves with living people, then I called on everyone to stop it quickly.

Then, Baturu and I stooped forward, one after the other, and soon came to the window of the chattering hut.

In the midst of his apprehension, Baturu and I stretched out one eye at the same time and looked out the window.

Under the dim butter lamp, another incomprehensible scene was presented in front of us.

In the ruined house, the woman tied to the stretcher lay upright, and beside her was a black wolf rolling its eyes.

The black wolf was also lying on the ground, as if he had been under some spell and could not get up, but he still bared his teeth and bared his teeth, giving out a cautious deterrent.

In addition, seven or eight villagers gathered around her, among them, the old village chief with a wrinkled face was impressively present.

At that time, the village chief's face was painted with some ghost talismans by cinnabar, and his half-human and half-ghost appearance was surprising, and he was also full of "ghostly energy", which was unpredictable.

The most important thing is that at this moment this old thing is holding a bright scimitar in his hand, chanting some incantation, and at the same time the tip of the knife ...... Stabbed into the neck of the unconscious woman.

Seeing that the old village chief was about to break the woman's neck with a knife, Baturu and I couldn't hold back any longer. The two men shouted "stop" and kicked open the door of the hut at the same time, rushing in to the consternation of the villagers.
