Chapter 5 Puppets Lead the Way

Panzi and I stared at the scarecrow's face.

In fact, if this scarecrow can still laugh during this period, although it is quite weird, but at least it proves that the ghost laugh was made by it, but we waited for a long time, and it has been standing quietly.

I knew that we couldn't afford to spend it with a puppet like this, so I turned my gaze away and looked at its whole body.

The scarecrow is easy to say elsewhere, but its hands are a little weird, and its two bulging palms filled with straw are biased in one direction, as if to make some cues.

We were surrounded by bushes, and I looked in this direction, and I couldn't see what was in the distance, and I thought to myself, could it be that this scarecrow is a street sign, and it is telling us that there is something strange there?

I told Panzi about this speculation, and Panzi frowned after hearing it, and asked me, "Then let's go and see?" Or don't you go? ”

He said this very hesitantly, indicating that he was very entangled, we came to this bush, it stands to reason that we have escaped danger, we should return to the dirt road as soon as possible and continue to hurry, but a series of previous experiences have shown that this place is not ordinary, and it is even very likely that there are clues we need.

I thought to myself, since I came here by mistake, let's take another time to take a look and find out about this place.

I told me my attitude, and asked Panzi to follow me, and we continued to follow the direction of the scarecrow.

Walking in knee-deep bushes is particularly tiring for my legs, and when I walk in such human-high bushes, I feel tired all over my body, as if there is an invisible hand that keeps pinching me, making every muscle in my body tense.

Panzi and I walked in for another cigarette, and suddenly, as I was picking up a bush, another strange face poked out of it.

I've had a similar experience just now, and I've been prepared for it this time. I didn't let this face stick to it, so I spread my palm and buckled it in the face.

I slowly turned around and let Panzi look at the strange face. Pan Zi's face was not good-looking, but neither of us said anything, but took a knife together to clean up near the strange face.

It didn't take much effort for us to let this second scarecrow appear.

It looked exactly like the scarecrow it had seen before, except that it was pointing in the other direction, and it was still a bush that we had never walked before.

I saw this posture, and my heart was right, and we were fighting with the scarecrow in the middle of the night.

I have been driving the road just now, and I am already tired, this time Pan Zi and I will change positions, and he will be the pioneer.

I thought to myself that we had met four scarecrows in the bushes, and when we had followed the path pointed by the last scarecrow, we had come out of the bushes.

What I always smelled in the bushes was a slightly moldy smell of rotten grass, and when I walked out and breathed in the fresh air, I couldn't help but be shocked, but when I looked forward, this cheering spirit immediately disappeared without a trace.

In front of it is a large piece of graves, how to say, these tombs are not of the same era at first glance, some of them are deserted and are about to collapse, and some of them are clean, obviously not long after they were erected.

This grave is also scattered and scattered, and in front of a new grave, a woman in white squats, with her back to us, holding a wooden basin in her hand, and is taking paper money from the wooden basin and burning sacrifices in front of the grave.

In the middle of the night, squatting in the graveyard, no matter how bold I was, I was scared, and I immediately thought of the female ghost.

Pan Zi and I involuntarily leaned together, both staring coldly at the woman in white. After staying up like this for a while, the woman didn't look back at the two of us, let alone say anything, as if we didn't exist.

Panzi couldn't help it, he looked around again, there were no small stones under our feet, but there were fist-sized stones, Panzi picked up a stone, and wanted to throw it out to test the woman.

Just as Pan Zi was swinging her arm, the woman sighed, turned her head to speak, and asked the two of us, "Who are you?" ”

At this time, if Pan Zi really didn't care about picking out this stone, if he was in a hurry, he could really hit her on the head, and even kill her at once.

Pan Zi didn't make that ruthless move, he saw that the woman was talking, and hurriedly shook his wrist, so that the stone swished and flew away.

I didn't care what Panzi's expression was at this time, I looked at the woman, although it was not close, but I could also see that this woman was very delicate, the most obvious thing was that there was a big black mole between her eyebrows.

When the woman saw that we didn't speak, she asked again, and smiled, as if she was laughing at us for being cowardly.

I can't say I'm machismo, anyway, I was made by her laughter, I lost my temper in my heart, and said that she doesn't care if she's a human or a ghost, and then she's a little girl, and we're so scared, it's so shameless.

I was afraid that she wouldn't be able to hear me clearly, so I deliberately cleared my throat, saying that we were from Wuzhou City and were arranged to be intern teachers in Suiyuan Village.

The woman became even more interested, and then asked me, "Do you have a letter of introduction?" ”

If she hadn't looked so weird, I would have doubted that she didn't work in the neighborhood committee, how could it be like checking the household registration? Pan Zi and I came to this kind of wilderness for the first time, if we could find someone to ask, we could also take a little less wrongful way, although I didn't want to show her the letter of introduction, but in order to be able to talk to her, I had to endure it.

I touched my backpack, took out the letter of introduction, dragged Panzi over with me, and handed her the letter of introduction.

When I got closer, I saw that the woman's face was flushed red by the light of the burning fire, which made me feel a little less scrupled. After she took the letter, she opened it in front of us and took a closer look.

Panzi and I didn't say anything, and waited quietly for her to finish reading.

I noticed that when the woman read the letter of introduction, her expression was a little strange, and there seemed to be a hesitant look between her eyebrows, and I didn't know what she was thinking about.

I've also guessed, could it be that the ghost laugh just now was called by this girl? But I immediately rejected this idea again, the place where the ghost laughter appeared just now was far away, even if she was loud and practiced the legendary lion roar skill, she could not spread the laughter.

After reading the letter, the woman folded it up, handed it to me again, and said, "I am also a teacher in Suiyuan Village, and we will be colleagues in the future, so let's wait for me to burn the paper money, and I will take you to Suiyuan Village." ”

As soon as I heard this, my heart said that it was a good feeling. Originally, Panzi and I made up our minds to stand next to her and watch her burn paper, but she suddenly made a request for us to burn it with her.

This request is also quite embarrassing, I don't know the owner of the grave, what kind of burning? However, seeing that the woman's serious face was not like a joke, Panzi and I looked at each other, so we had to rely on her again.

In order to burn faster, I grabbed the paper money one by one and threw it into the fire, during which the woman stopped a few times and turned her head to look at the two of us, which made me feel that she let me burn the paper money is small, and it is true to take the opportunity to observe the two of us up close.

When the paper money was burned and the worship was over, she picked up the tub again and beckoned us to go with her. When I saw the direction she was going, I chuckled in my heart, because she led us inside, and to put it bluntly, wouldn't it be farther and farther away from the dirt road if we went on like this?

Panzi also sensed that something was wrong, and he shouted to stop the woman and pointed behind him. The woman was very clever and knew what we meant, and she explained that it was a long way to take the dirt road, and that there was a shortcut here, and that it would take less than half an hour to walk with her.

I was skeptical, and I wanted to ask a few more questions. But after she finished speaking, she walked forward, and she didn't care about the two of us anymore, and Pan Zi and I had no choice but to follow.

We're both on our toes, and if something goes wrong, I'm sure we'll turn around and run as soon as we can.

This woman walks strangely, the steps are very small, and the kind of small broken steps that are only popular in ancient times, so it is good, Pan Zi and I can only follow behind slowly, especially when I find that we can not stare at her footsteps, otherwise there is an urge to learn her to walk.

I guess after more than 20 minutes, we came to a downhill, I looked down the slope, and found that this woman did not lie to us, it was really a village in front of me.

There was no electricity in this village at first glance, and the whole black pressure was scattered, just like the grave just now. The woman was probably tired of walking, stood and rested for a while, and told us that she would take us to eat something first, and then find a place to live, and then take us to school tomorrow morning to report, but when you enter the village, you must pay attention, you must not make noise, otherwise the dog in the village will wake up, and it will bark, which is too disturbing to the people.

Panzi and I both nodded in response, I noticed that Panzi was a little absent-minded, and when we continued to set off, I took the opportunity to ask Panzi what he was thinking just now.

Pan Zi and I have nothing to shy away from, he leaned his head over and whispered, "Du Rui, why do I think something is wrong, you said that Suiyuan Village is so similar to that cemetery, you won't say that this village is that cemetery, right?" ”

I was stimulated by Pan Zi's words, and my cranial nerves were thumping. I remembered the words of the old man who drove the donkey cart, Suiyuan Village is haunted, but even if it is really a **, for the sake of the task, we can't back down.

I replied to Pan Zi incorrectly, "You think too much!" ”
