Chapter 295: Mezzanine
Seeing her like this, I softened my heart and said, "Then you wait for me for a while, and I'll be back right away." [See the latest chapter of the book]"
"Hmm." Abei replied softly.
I took my phone and went to a place with a better signal outside. redialed Yang Hao's phone, but Yang Hao still didn't answer. I was a little annoyed when I couldn't get through, and I thought at the same time, why didn't they contact me these days, but I immediately remembered that my mobile phone card was changed, maybe Yang Hao and they had looked for me several times.
Abei was still waiting for me, and I didn't delay much and walked back. But when I pushed the door open, I saw Ah Bei sitting on the ground like dead ashes, and a human head was rolling at her feet, exactly like the one I had seen. His eyes were gouged out, leaving only two blood holes, which looked eerie even in broad daylight.
I was immediately stunned, in broad daylight, where did this head come from?
"Brother, why do you have a ...... hidden in your roof? These things? Abei asked tremblingly, looking at me with a look of wariness in her eyes.
Where do I know? I've been looking for these heads, and if I knew, I'd have turned them out.
"How did he come up?" I asked in surprise. Jia Ya Crazy Ba.
"I smelled a foul smell in the house, I thought there were stinky rats in your room, and I wanted to help you get out, but I didn't expect to ......" When Ah Bei spoke, her eyes kept looking at the roof, and I also glanced at the roof, and found that the roof had opened a square hole somewhere, and the rancid smell in the house became even bigger. But isn't it outside on the roof? Why is it that after opening a hole, no sunlight is shining down? My heart sank. This roof has a mezzanine!
I didn't care about Abei's scared look, so I took off my shoes and jumped on the bed. Then I put my hands on both sides of the hole, and with a strong jump, my head poked into the hole, and when my head went in, I was choked by the rancid smell that came to my face.
I didn't expect that there was really a mezzanine on the roof, and this hole was the entrance, and Abei pushed the board at the entrance open. The mezzanine is very large, I can drill half a person, I reached in and touched it, and touched a sticky thing, in order to find out the truth, I couldn't help but pull this thing out with nausea, and sure enough, it was a human head, this head was already highly corrupted, and as soon as my hand touched it, a large piece of carrion fell down.
I fumbled for a while, and there were exactly five heads in the mezzanine, and I took them all off, and when I had finished taking the last one, I finally couldn't help but rush to the window and retch. Ah Bei was no better, her little face was pale, completely stunned, I relieved myself and said to her: "Don't look at me with such eyes, I didn't hide the head, you go and call the people in your village, the heads of those corpses have been found." β
As soon as I finished saying this, Ah Bei's face became a little embarrassed, I wondered, now I am the most suspicious, I am not embarrassed, why is she embarrassed?
After a while, Abei still didn't speak, I shook my head, crouched down and looked at the heads, they couldn't recognize who was who was by now, but they weren't rotten like this when they appeared on my roof last night.
However, the decay of these heads is more consistent with the time of death of the deceased before, according to the conversation between Uncle Ah Bei and the patriarch that night, these heads should have been secretly placed on my roof by the patriarch, but why did she do this?
I decided to go up to the mezzanine again, and after turning on the flashlight, I re-opened the mezzanine, and Abei asked me what I was doing below, there would be no human head in it. I propped my hands on the board, holding my mobile phone in my mouth, which was inconvenient to speak, and muttered, "No! β
Although the head had been removed, there was no air circulation in the mezzanine, and after I turned over, I could still smell the residual rancid smell, so I covered my nose with my clothes and walked inside with my phone. The mezzanine was not high and I had to bend over.
After walking a few steps, I found that strange red lines appeared on the floor of the mezzanine, intertwined, as if a rune had been drawn, I couldn't read this rune, but I thought it was familiar, and after reading it for a few seconds, I remembered, this is the spell that the patriarch's body couldn't get out of when it was in the Orion Yuan Martial House last night.
I didn't know anything about spells, so I took a few more looks, and took a picture with my mobile phone, planning to ask Nan Lei when I had a chance in the future, what does this mean?
I guess that Orion's family had this charm, and the patriarch's body went to his house, and the house where I lived also had this charm, so that Ally's body came to me that night? What I don't understand is that since these two charms are identical, why did the body of the patriarch pass through my door and not enter?
A flash of inspiration flashed in my head, could it be because of the human head?
I have six heads here, and although I can't tell them now, I can be sure that one of them is Arei's from the dissipating ghosts I saw last night.
And the head of the patriarch was brought to Orion's house, so the body of the patriarch ran to Orion's house in the middle of the night to find the head.
But I still couldn't understand why these corpses were able to find their heads, and after several attempts I found that they were not haunted, and there was no trace of ghost in them.
"Brother, I believe that these people were not harmed by you, my second uncle personally admitted that he killed these people, I want not to tell Grandma SΓΉ about the discovery of the head." When I came down, Abei hesitated.
"Why?" Abei's words made me very confused.
Ah Bei told me that she heard that the human head is a place where a person's soul is hidden, and now that this kind of thing has happened, the old woman will definitely let people burn these heads for the sake of the safety and health of the whole village, and the souls of her eldest sister and second sister will also be destroyed.
This explanation is too far-fetched, the heads are rotten like this, it doesn't make a difference whether they are burned or not, and if I don't inform the people in the stockade about these six heads, will I have to put them back on my roof?
Seeing my troubles, Ah Bei immediately said, "I can find a place to help you hide for a few days, just a few days is enough." β
"You ......" I first felt that something was wrong, and suddenly thought that I would do it, so I said, "Then I will trouble you." β
Seeing that I agreed, a flash of joy flashed across her face, and she quickly found a large snakeskin bag, put all six heads in it, and then hurriedly went out with her head on her back. I looked at her back and thought to myself that if her bag of things broke on the road, it would have to cause an uproar in the stockade.
I had noticed the abnormality of Abei when she mentioned the human head, and just now I also wanted to see what she was going to do with the human head, so I agreed to her, and when she first saw the human head in my room, she was scared to do it, but now she has the courage to walk with six human heads on her back, which is too big a difference.
Watching her walk some distance, I followed. It was not very convenient to follow during the day, but fortunately, most of the people in the village were hostile to me, and the other outsiders were still immersed in the song competition, so no one paid attention to me.
After Ah Bei went out, she went straight to the outermost part of the stockade, and then went around to the east, and after walking about three-quarters of the way around the stockade, she walked back into the stockade, which was equivalent to going around the stockade in a big circle, and she did this because she didn't want people to find out.
Not long after re-entering the village, Ah Bei walked to the ancestral hall in the village, which was different from the ancestral hall of the Holy Virgin Cave, where almost no one went to the ancestral hall, and this one was often worshipped by people. If I'm not mistaken, the bodies of the six women were also parked here, and Ah Bei couldn't have come to find the corpses with these heads, right?
The area around the ancestral hall was empty, and it was almost impossible for me to get close to it without me noticing. At this time, I thought of a way, opened the Qiankun bag, let Xiaobai escape, I touched its black head, and pointed to the ancestral hall to it.
After Xiaobai helped me lick the centipede poison that night, Su Xi never let it out again, let it recuperate inside, and now looking at it, Xiaobai seems to have grown up a little more, and it seems that it is very good. Xiao Bai understands human nature, I whispered a few words to it, and it went to the ancestral hall in three or two clicks.
Where there are dead people, they are most afraid of cats, and legend has it that cats are psychic animals, and if the dead are stained with cat hair, they will cheat the corpse. As I expected, not long after Xiaobai walked in, he was kicked out by Ah Bei, and I still couldn't get close. I thought to myself, Xiaobai, Xiaobai, you must take Abei out again.
At this time, I saw that Xiaobai returned to the door of the ancestral hall, and after calling a few times, Ah Bei came over, and Xiao Bai rubbed against Ah Bei's leg, which looked very intimate, no matter how Ah Bei rushed, it just wouldn't go. Ah Bei is a girl after all, seeing Xiaobai like this, she couldn't bear to forcibly drive it away, so she squatted down and picked up Xiaobai, but she couldn't carry Xiaobai into the ancestral hall where there was a dead man, so she had to carry Xiaobai and walk out.
Taking advantage of this, I hurriedly ran into the ancestral hall, and as soon as I entered the ancestral hall, I was shocked by the scene in front of me, on the morgue in the center of the ancestral hall, there were six corpses parked, and there was a rotten head on the six corpses, which was very upright.
At this time, the sound of Ah Bei's footsteps came from outside the door, and I quickly found a place to hide, hid behind the incense case, and peeked out through the cracks.
After Ah Bei came in, starting from the first corpse on the left, she put their heads more appropriately with their bodies one by one, and while fiddling, they still muttered: "Cousin, aunt, second sister......"
Listening to her babbling, I couldn't imagine how she managed to sort out these rotten heads.
I held my breath and continued to watch, and when Abel had fully fiddled with her head, she did something that shocked me even more. She opened her mouth, and a small golden snake poked out of her mouth, exactly the same as the two of the patriarch's.
