Chapter 1 Chenyu Village
Introduction: Four majestic peaks spread, and white snow dotted the top of the mountain. The mountains surround a central basin, and on the east side of the basin sits an ordinary mountain village.
"Ahh A terrifying scream pierced the starry night sky like a sharp blade, and the hazy moon hid behind the dark clouds. The hen, disturbed from sleep, looks around vigilantly and gathers the chicks in the grass nest under her wings. Several guard dogs in the village also barked at the sound of screaming. A black image blended into the night like lightning, the moon quietly showed half of its face, the faint moonlight shone on the snow, an unconscious woman lay on the cold ground, and beside her, there was a stiff corpse with a black complexion, eyes staring like light bulbs, eyes bulging outward, as if about to get out of their sockets, mouth opened in horror, as if the last words had not had time to be spoken, and then drifted away in the cold wind.

Chapter 1: Chenyu Village
Winter is the coldest time of the year. Usually at this time, in the general small village, the farmers of every household will gather in groups to play cards and mahjong, drink small wine and brag about the cowhide, and happily enjoy the idle days of farming.
And an ordinary small village in Shandong Province that is so remote that you can't find it on the map is shrouded in a strange atmosphere at this time. The house in the middle of the village is the only brick house in the village with tiled exterior walls, and it is crowded with people.
An old man with dark skin, sunken eyes, and white hair sat cross-legged on the bed. With his eyes closed, he smoked a dry tobacco pouch, and the smoke danced in the air like a smart white snake. The room was full of people, but there was no sound other than the sound of cigarettes. Everyone in the room was silent, frowning, and their facial expressions were as miserable as if they had just drunk Coptis water.
The dead silence lasted for about a cup of tea, and the black-faced man standing on the edge of the kang finally couldn't hold his breath, and took the lead in breaking the annoying silence, and said to the white-haired old man sitting on the bed: "Old man, you have something to say!" Will you save our lives or not? There are only dozens of families left in the village, more than 100 people, but they can't afford to make such a fuss about ghosts and gods anymore! In a few days, the people of the village will die. Now that everyone has decided to move the village, you have to give an answer to this matter, whether you are in it or not? Everyone is waiting for your old man's words, and you have to make up your mind that you can't hesitate any longer. Someone started it, and immediately the room was like a frying pan, and immediately there was a flurry of noise, swearing, and a few sobs.
The white-haired old man sitting in the center of the bed finally opened his eyes slowly, and the dry tobacco pouch in his hand knocked on the edge of the bed, and then stared at the black-faced man with bright eyes and said: "Black baby, there is an ancient saying called "relocation of the land", how can you decide to move lightly. Don't look at the small size of our village, but it is also the history of our ancestors who have lived here for hundreds of years. Besides, it is necessary to walk for several days to reach the provincial capital by driving ox carts out of the mountains. In the winter of the month, the sky is icy and snowy, and the mountain roads are difficult and difficult to travel. And on such a cold day, adults can bear it, but the little baby can't bear such a cold. As soon as the white-haired old man said this, the originally noisy crowd instantly fell silent again. However, some people couldn't help but muttered softly: "Then you can't just sit and wait for death every day, it's better to go out and freeze to death." ”
The black-faced man then said to the old man: "Old man, you are the village chief, and you are also the most educated and knowledgeable person in the village. You have to think of a way, the people of this village are counting on you to keep up with ideas to survive! As soon as the words ended, the echo in the room was endless.
Suddenly, a woman about thirty years old with a pockmarked face sat on the ground and cried loudly, "My hard-working baby father! Why did you leave so ruthlessly, leaving me and the dog baby, and going with you soon, it's really not a good life. As soon as she took the lead in crying, the other women and girls in the room immediately joined in crying. The men also slumped their shoulders, drooped their heads, and sighed like frosted eggplants.
The white-haired old man saw that everyone was excited, so he got up and got out of bed, and said impatiently to everyone: "Okay, don't cry." After speaking, he put on the old man's shoes, put on his padded jacket, and walked out of the door, and everyone immediately followed the old man silently.
The old man walked out of the house and led everyone to the east of the village, and after a while, he came to the ancestral hall in the village. The old man pushed open the wooden door of the ancestral hall and walked in, and the men followed the old man one after another, while the women and children stayed outside, standing at the door and peeking inside.
The white-haired old man came to the front of the altar, picked up three incense sticks and lit them, and then led everyone to kneel on the ground, and recited respectfully: "The ancestors and ancestors of Chenyu Village, the descendants of Chen Yu have kowtowed to the ancestors. After speaking, everyone kneeling on the ground collectively knocked their heads on the ground three times. After kowtowing, the white-haired old man led by him began to narrate to the ancestral tablet: "The ancestors of the Chen family have blessed our village with a peaceful life for hundreds of years, but now our Chenjia village has suffered a great disaster. A few days ago, the head of the dog's house on the far edge of the village died. The sturdy crop man suddenly died at home, blackened all over, as if he had hit an evil spirit, fell in the backyard in broad daylight, and left so bizarrely. As a result, this was only the beginning of the disaster, and for the next few days, every day people were blackened and inexplicably died, and the people of the village said that it was haunted. The child who was just a few months old in the village's second son disappeared out of thin air the day before yesterday. As a result, I later found the body of the little baby on the grave in the back mountain, blackened, and my brain was eaten up by some beast, and it looked really pitiful. If this continues, in a few days, the village will be dead. After speaking, he hid his face and cried bitterly, crying silently and sighing. The men kneeling in the back were worried that the old man would cry and go out of breath, and kept comforting and persuading the old man.
The old man eased his feelings, stopped crying, and continued: "Chenyu Village cannot be relocated, and we can't just leave the ancestral hall of our ancestors and the foundation that our ancestors have worked hard to lay for generations. However, there is no way to live this kind of panic anymore. Therefore, the ancestors and ancestors are above, and I, the incompetent current deacon of the Chen family, want to use the treasures of our Chen Village to go out and invite capable people to come to collect ghosts and catch demons. I ask our ancestors to be considerate of the suffering of our unworthy descendants. After speaking, he immediately stood up, instructed everyone to move the ancestral ranking to the offering table, and then gently removed the baffle behind the altar, and reverently held out a Nanmu box the size of a wine box with both hands.
The old man held the box in his chest and prayed secretly in his heart, "The lives of the hundreds and dozens of people in the village depend on you." ”
But I hope the sky has eyes!
