Qin Yue and I naturally followed, walking on the path of the village, I took a look at this village, a very ordinary poor village, poorer than my hometown, with very few two-story buildings.

There seemed to be a faint, indescribably strange feeling in the whole village, as if something was wrong, but nothing was wrong.

Soon I realized that something was wrong, the whole village was so lifeless that I could not hear the sound of chickens and dogs barking.

Although there are very few people raising poultry such as chickens and ducks in the countryside nowadays, it is impossible to have dogs as caretakers, right?

In the city where dogs are not allowed, there are still people who have small pets such as fox dogs and teacup dogs, not to mention the rural areas where the management is not strict, in case there is a thief or something in the village, enough to be an ear maker.

This happened in our village, a gang of thieves entered the village to steal something, but was discovered by the village dogs, and this chase and bite scared the thieves so much that they almost lost their shoes.

Therefore, in the countryside, it is very normal to have a dog, almost every family will have one, or a local dog, or a wolf dog or something, but there seems to be no dog in this village.

"Do you think this village is a bit weird, why don't the villagers even have a dog?"

Qin Yue also sensed that something was wrong, but her mind was much more delicate than mine, and she raised this question before I could figure it out.

"I also noticed that the whole village seemed to be shrouded in an ominous cloud, so everyone be careful."

Huang Tian said, handed each of us a handful of black beans, and said that let's put them close to us, this thing can force the yin qi around the body away, so as not to wipe the yin qi.

Qin Yue and I are neither knowledgeable, maybe Qin Yue is a little stronger than me, so naturally follow Huang Tian's words. Place the black beans close to your body.

At the same time, I also deeply feel that the so-called magic is also mysterious when it is said to be mysterious, and it is not mysterious when it is not mysterious, it is something that we usually do not pay attention to, and in the hands of people who know how to do it, it becomes something to exorcise ghosts and ward off evil spirits.

Walking on the potholed dirt road in the middle of the village, I couldn't help but sigh that in these years, the village-to-village communication has been practiced for so many years, and there is still such a closed place in the area of the Great Plains. It's incredible.

From another point of view, it also shows how "dedicated" the magistrate here is, and this is not a mountainous area, no matter how difficult the road is, it is not difficult to build an asphalt road, and the road can be repaired with a few drinks and cigarettes.

Soon, we came to a small square in the middle of the village, where the old people of the village were sitting under an old locust tree, smoking, chatting and playing chess, but they felt a little self-satisfied.

"Uncle. What a good game of chess! ”

Huang Tian took out his cigarette, and after a round of dispersion, he squatted next to a pair of old men playing chess and accosted him while watching the game.

"Who are you, and you're here to investigate Xu Lin's affairs, right? How many times have we kept up with the above. Xu Lin must have cheated the corpse, no one can say where he is now, if you have the ability, you can ask some monks to catch him, what is martial law in the whole village? The crops of the field were desolate. ”

The two chess players did not speak. An old man watching the battle next to him opened his mouth, and we were speechless when he said something.

Yes, according to the unique point of view of rural people. It's useless for the police to come to this kind of thing, and the police are not Zhang Tianshi, and they don't have the ability to catch ghosts and subdue demons.

"We are investigators sent by the central government, and no matter what, this matter must be investigated clearly, first, to restore the truth, and second, to give you an explanation, so please cooperate a little and explain the origin of the matter in detail."

Huang Tian really dared to say it, and directly said that he was sent by the central government, and this big signboard directly bombarded those villagers dumbfounded.

Central, this high-end and high-grade title For the villagers facing the loess with their backs to the sky, the central government can only see it on TV, and the identity of the people sent by the central government is too mysterious and shocking.

"Let me tell you, I know better."

An old man sitting under the root of a tree beckoned to us, and we hurried over.

I handed over a cigarette and looked at the old man carefully, about seventy years old, with age spots on his face, he was a very ordinary rural old man, with thick hands, with very thick calluses, and the green tendons on the back of his hands bulging like earthworms.

The old man took the cigarette, skillfully pulled out the filter in the butt he had smoked for more than half of it, and connected it into an extended cigarette three times and two times.

"Here's the thing, ...... that night"

The old man smoked a cigarette and told us about what he had seen that night.

That night, the old man also touched the monkey, because the old man's legs and feet were inconvenient, so he walked back and forth in the woods behind the village, and he touched a lot that night.

At about eleven o'clock, most of the people who had touched the monkey went back to sleep, and the old man was ready to go back, the old man was easily tired, but he did not sleep for a long time, and he could not sleep.

Just when he decided to go back, he suddenly saw a light in the strange grove in the northeast corner of the village, which really scared him a lot.

As an old man, he knows all the legends in the village, and he is naturally very aware of the strangeness of that grove.

From the formation of the grove to the first person hanging inside, until Xu Lin's accident, he knew everything that happened in the grove clearly.

It is terrifying enough to hang a person in a forest, and in this grove with a radius of less than 500 meters, eleven people were mysteriously hanged, why did everyone who was looking for death choose this grove?

At that time, the old man saw the light of the flashlight in the grove, and his heart was excited, knowing that if the flashlight was not dirty, in order to attract others, someone had really broken in.

The distance between the two was not far away, and the old man walked towards the grove, of course, he did not dare to go in, and it was still possible to call the people inside outside.

There was no road in the woods behind the village, and it was also potholed, and the old man did not walk fast with dead branches and stumbling weeds.

After about fifteen minutes, the old man came to the outside of the grove and shone a flashlight, but he could only see the light of the flashlight but could not see people clearly.

"Which one is inside? Hurry out, this grove is haunted. ”

The old man shouted a few times, but only the rustling of footsteps could be heard inside, but no echo could be heard.

The old man was really frightened at this moment, so he concluded that it was the dirty thing that lured others in, and he couldn't fall for it, otherwise it would definitely be over.

Just as the old man turned around, he suddenly heard his grandson's cry for help, and the source of the sound was the grove.

The old man shivered, but did not answer, gritted his teeth and resisted the urge to agree, and hurriedly turned around to look.

Because the old man also knew that it was impossible for his grandson to go to the grove, and more importantly, as a person who had walked from south to north, the old man also knew that the little ghosts had the saying of shouting souls.

The so-called soul crying is that these ghosts will imitate the voices of the people around you and call your name, and once you promise the soul, the soul will be hooked away, the light is a vegetative person, and the heavy is a life.

The elderly themselves are not full of yang fire, old age and decay, blood and qi decay, and it is easy for these dirty things to call away their souls.

The old man took a look, found nothing unusual, and did not find his grandson, so he hurried home.

At this time, the voice behind him became his son, and then he became a buddy in the same village, and then he became his deceased wife.

The old man knew that this was hooking his soul, so he gritted his teeth and refused to agree, no matter who shouted to him, he would never make a sound.

Gradually, the voice ceased to shout, for by this time the old man had gone to the back of a family's house and picked up a pebble under the eaves.

In general, there are no pebbles in the countryside of the plains, only by the riverside, this kind of pebbles has a very interesting common name, called the old eagle pillow, it is said that the old eagle uses this thing to make his own pillow when he sleeps at night.

In fact, this thing should be dripping from the eaves when it rains, and the small stones that happen to be there are dripping.

This stone has a strong effect on warding off evil spirits, and as long as you hold it in the palm of your hand, you can shake your soul and prevent it from being sucked away by dirt.

The next morning, the old man got up early, and yesterday's experience made him palpitate, so he wanted to go to the grove to see what was wrong.

Before he could reach the grove, he saw a man running in this direction, shouting that someone was hanging in the grove as he ran.

The old man chuckled in his heart, and quickly asked who the man was hanging in the grove, and the man was so frightened that he even turned white, and he trembled for a long time without saying why, so the old man asked him to go to the village and call the others to come, and he went over to see it first.

About thirty or forty meters next to the grove was a winding path, and as soon as the old man arrived on the road, he saw Xu Lin's body hanging in mid-air, with his belt around his neck swaying in the wind.

At a distance of thirty or forty meters, the old man's eyes were not very good, and he didn't see who the dead was, so he walked over to take a closer look.

It is said that this old man is really not ordinary bold, and ordinary people will never dare to go to see a hanged person alone, because among all the dead appearances, the hanged one is the most ugly, and the one with poor psychological endurance can scare away the soul on the spot.

When the old man approached, he saw that Xu Lin had died of anger, his face was purple, his eyes were like walnuts, his seven holes were bleeding, his tongue was sticking out, and even the tongue coating was clearly recognizable.

The weirdest thing is that hanging also requires something to be used as a stepping stone? But there was nothing under Xu Lin's feet, and more importantly, his feet were more than a meter high from the ground.

At such a distance, even the square benches commonly used in the countryside have to be stacked together to reach this height, and there is no such thing in the wilderness.

Just as the old man was about to leave, he suddenly noticed that Xu Lin's face seemed to smile weirdly. (To be continued......)
