Chapter Twenty-Four: The Dead

Look at the time, it has reached two o'clock in the middle of the night, there is still some time before dawn, the wind outside is very strong, blowing the wires whining, and occasionally you can hear the noise of crows, if it were not for the number of us, in such an environment, I am afraid that we have already gotten into the nest and shivered.

"I'll tell you about one too, this is what happened when I was at home a few years ago, and I still remember it vividly, as if it happened yesterday......"

The rat poured a glass of mineral water, and after drinking half a glass, began his story......

The mouse's name is Guo Yonghao, the mouse is a nickname, but it really looks like a thief, but it is worthy of his nickname, fifteen years ago, a girl died on the edge of the village where the mouse was, and it was killed by someone, and the body was thrown in the cotton field, and it was rotten and stinky when it was found.

At that time, the mouse was only ** years old, because it was a weekend, there was no need to go to class, the adults went to the field to fork the cotton and catch insects, and the mouse was bored at home alone, so he went to the field to make trouble.

"Why does it stink so much? It can't be that some cat or dog died nearby, right? ”

As soon as they arrived at the ground, the adults smelled something wrong, but they didn't take it to heart, thinking that someone's cat and dog had died nearby after taking medicine, but they didn't feel scared except for the bad smell.

Naturally, the rat also smelled, and the smell was very strong, and everyone searched for a long time but did not find where the smell came from, at that time the cotton was waist-deep, and the branches were luxuriant, even if something died in the ground, it could not be found.

The mouse did not go to the field, but stayed in the shade of the field to play, and his parents were busy in the field.

After waiting for about an hour, the mouse felt that it was not interesting, so he wanted to ask his parents for the key to go home and watch TV, but at that time his parents were still in the middle of the ground, and they had to wait when they came back. The mouse couldn't wait, so he went straight into the field to find his mother.

The more he walked, the more he felt the pungent stench, as if he was right next to him, but because the cotton was so lush, he couldn't see anything, and could only look in his mother's direction and move forward little by little.

Suddenly, the mouse suddenly tripped over something under his feet, and almost fell, and quickly looked at his feet, this look, almost scared his soul away, because there was a female corpse lying at his feet, her face was already swollen, and there were maggots in and out of her eyes and mouth, and her whole body seemed to be swollen with gas, and you could even see something in the stomach of the female corpse drilling, this scene suddenly appeared in front of a half-grown child, and it was fortunate that she was not scared to death.

"Mom......"

At that time, the mouse cried in fright, screamed, and stumbled towards his mother, who did not know what was going on, and was still complaining that he had damaged the cotton.

However, when the mouse incoherently told her mother about her sighting of the female corpse, the rural woman was immediately shocked and lost her mind, so she hurriedly called all the neighbors who were working nearby.

"Hurry up and call the police, this is a homicide!"

At that time, there was no mobile phone, and there was not even a phone in a village, and the police were all people who went directly to the police station to call people.

The incident quickly alarmed the village chief, who rushed to the police station on a bicycle to report the case, but the police station was quick to dispatch the police and quickly sent people down to protect the scene.

After the cordon was drawn, several forensic doctors in white coats came, carried the female corpse out of the field, and dissected it on the way, as for what conclusions were drawn, the mouse did not know, after that time he had nightmares for a week, and every time he dreamed of the female corpse.

Later, I heard that the result of the forensic examination was annihilation, and there were obvious strangulation marks on his neck, which was suffocation.

Later, the appearance of the female corpse was also restored, it was a very quiet and delicate girl, as soon as the photo was released, many people immediately said that they had seen this girl.

The most obvious was the information provided by a villager in a village not far from the mouse's village, that a bearded man had brought the girl to their house a week earlier to beg for water.

At that time, the girl had begged him for help while the beard was not paying attention, saying that she would have to die if she followed this man again. But the man was timid and afraid, and he was indifferent, and in the end the girl's body was found in a cotton field behind their village, west of the mouse's village, and it can be said that the girl died very unjustly.

It is said that if the local public security organs investigate carefully, it will not be difficult to bring this bearded man to justice, because many people have seen him, and his appearance and characteristics have been clear.

Fifteen years have passed since the police station did nothing, and the case has not been solved to this day, and the suspect is still at large, which is an injustice to the deceased.

It is said that the medical examiner took away all the internal organs of the deceased, but the body was buried on the spot, under a small bridge next to the road, and never questioned again, which is extremely irresponsible.

The mouse didn't care, after all, it wasn't something he could manage, and he was still young at the time, so he quickly forgot about it, but when someone mentioned it, he could still think of the original scene.

One evening two years ago, the mouse was working on a construction site in a nearby village, and he got married, and he had a chubby son who was more motivated, and he worked late every day before returning.

It was already dark when he packed up his tools, and he was worried about his son, so he got on the car and hurried home.

Just when he walked to the entrance of the village, the mouse suddenly saw a fifty or sixty-year-old man in the same village was walking on the side of the road, this old man's surname was Yuan, his home was in the city, this was his hometown, he did not want to live in the noisy urban area, so he returned to the countryside, but he did not have to work, every day he carried a cage bird, played a card, watched a play, and lived a very comfortable life.

However, this kind of life has made his health very bad, he has been bedridden for half a month, and he can't get out of bed at all.

But today he actually got up, and he didn't look very good, his face was pale, his eyes were blank, but his walking posture was quite steady, and he didn't fall.

"Uncle Yuan, are you well? Can you go to the ground? Congratulations! ”

As a fellow villager, it is normal to greet each other when I see it, but what makes the mouse strange is that the old man surnamed Yuan actually ignored him, which made him extremely angry, and the mouse was not so mixed up in the village that no one else would talk to others.

"Uncle Yuan, you're a little wrong, I remember that you don't have your ears behind your ears, what's the point of pretending not to hear? I haven't offended you, have I? ”

The mouse stopped the car, wanted to reason with the old man, and took out a pack of cigarettes, Lao Yuan was originally a big smoker, but later quit when he got sick, and the mouse did not give him cigarettes, but smoked himself.

But the lighter didn't know how to malfunction, how could not shoot a little spark, after a few hits, the mouse had to put the cigarette on his ear.

At this time, the old Yuan spoke: "Hurry home, your son has a fever, hurry up and take a look, don't delay here, otherwise it will be no good." ”

The mouse didn't understand the meaning of Lao Yuan's words, and as soon as he heard that his son had a fever, he hurriedly rode into the car, and without even saying goodbye, he rushed directly to his house.

When he walked to the door of Lao Yuan's house, the mouse found that Lao Yuan's house was brightly lit, and many people went in and out, and the most conspicuous place was the "cash cow" placed at the door.

The mouse couldn't help but be clever, he was also a rural person, he was too familiar with this, and only the dead people in the family could put a "cash cow" at the door. And the so-called cash cow is actually a stack cut out of yellow paper, picked up with a stick and placed on the left side of the gate.

Could it be......

Thinking of the possibility, the mouse suddenly became smart, frightened back of the spine, the old Yuan family has no one else, only the old couple, and the old wife is often absent, living in the city son's house, under normal circumstances, Lao Yuan is at home alone, recently because the old Yuan is seriously ill, his wife and son, daughter, daughter-in-law have come to serve him.

The scene in front of him is clearly that someone has passed away, and the person who passed away can almost be thought of with his toes, and there is only one seriously ill person in their family, Lao Yuan, and it is impossible for others to die at all.

And as soon as he thought about it, the mouse had goosebumps all over his body, if it was Lao Yuan who died, then what he saw just now was......

The rat was almost certain that he had seen a ghost. Once you see a ghost, it means that the person's luck is extremely low, and the yang fire on the body is not prosperous, and the light is unlucky for a period of time, and the heavy is the disaster of blood and light.

But thinking about it, Lao Yuan urged himself to hurry home, as if he was also helping himself, otherwise he might not be taken by him somewhere.

The mouse hurriedly returned to his house and found that his son really had a fever, so he hurriedly took his son to the health center with his wife to get an injection, and when he returned home, he blocked the door with grass and wood ashes to prevent evil spirits from coming to the house to frighten the child.

Until now, this custom is still practiced in many places, taking out the ashes from the bottom of the pot and sprinkling a dispensing at the gate, so as to prevent some wandering spirits and evil things from entering their homes.

After telling his wife what he had seen, the mouse's daughter-in-law was also frightened, because she was at home with the children, and she knew what was happening in the village in a timely manner, Lao Yuan turned his head at ten o'clock in the morning, and it was impossible for her husband to see Lao Yuan, so what she saw must be his ghost.

This matter rat once told many people, most of the opinions are the same, saying that the rat usually has a good relationship with Lao Yuan, and his yang fire was very weak that day, and there should have been a catastrophe, but Lao Yuan reminded him and let him escape this catastrophe.

But then the mouse was really unlucky for a while, and everything didn't go well, and he saw the hell again in the middle, but this time it was okay, it didn't cause it much damage, and it was a passive ghost.

That night, the mouse and a few people from the same village played cards and bragged, and they all said that they were bold, and they were bolder than the other, as if they were Zhong Kui, the heavenly master who hunted ghosts.

At this time, a blind old man smiled coldly and said, "You all say that you are bold, but I don't say that I really let you see what the underworld is like." ”

The blind old man was alone, it was said that he was a person with open yin eyes, who could see things that ordinary people could not see, and was usually silent, probably because they were bragging and bragging, so he interjected.

"What do you see in the things of hell? I'm not afraid. The rat also drank too much, and retorted with a stalk on his neck.

"Okay, you just wait tonight, I'll pick your pubic eyes and show you what I usually see." After the blind old man finished speaking, he left and said nothing more.
