Chapter 584: The Past
During the Republican period, there was a small village hidden in a small ravine.
This village is inhabited by ordinary peasants, who have no culture and do not know how to take any names, so they also named this village Xiaoshangou after local materials.
There are only a few dozen families in the small ravine, these people are very simple, cutting wood and farming and hunting during the day, and at night the whole village is like a happy family to eat and chat together, living their own paradise-like life peacefully, as for the war in the outside world, it is an unknown territory for them.
A heavy rain broke the peace of the ravine after a sudden rain, as if to wash away the dirty era of war, after this heavy rain, half of the ravine was flooded.
At the same time, there was a landslide, and the big mountain next to the small ravine was washed away by the rain, and countless mud and rocks flowed down.
If this is the case, the villagers of the small ravine will quickly enter the post-disaster reconstruction work, but from the mountain is not only the mud and rocks, but also a lot of bottles and cans, these jars and bottles look very old, although many have been broken, but the color is still extremely bright.
Out of curiosity, the villagers walked towards the mountain where the mud and rocks flowed, wanting to see where the bottles and cans came from, but as soon as they got up the mountain, they were horrified to find that there were dry bones on the mountain.
These skeletons and human bones are like autumn leaves, spread all over the mountainside, frightening these simple villagers to constantly kneel and kowtow to these bones, and that night, someone in the village fell ill and had a fever.
Naturally, there is no such thing as an infirmary in a village like this, and if there is, it would be absolutely nonsense, but almost everyone who is accompanied by the mountains knows a little bit of cure, such as this fever and cold, and they usually go to the mountains to collect a little medicine to treat it.
However, this time the symptoms seem to be different from the past, more than a week has passed since the day of the onset of the disease, but the originally sick person has no signs of recovery, and the condition is even getting worse and worse.
Gradually, a rumor spread in the village, and many people said that it was not actually a disease, but that the people in the village had offended the ghosts, and when they went to the mountains before, they disturbed the skeletons, so those skeletons were about to come and ask for their lives.
As soon as this news spread, it engulfed the whole village like a tide, and the people here were already very superstitious, but now as soon as it spread, it became even more uproarious, and even many people began to think about leaving the small ravine.
While the people in the village were panicking, two people seemed to be outside the circle of right and wrong, and even began to plan to find an opportunity to go on a good adventure in the mountains.
These two people are well-known for their boldness in the village, one is the eldest son of a family surnamed Chai, because he is naturally bold, he is often called Chai Daring, and over time what his real name is forgotten, and the other is called Xia Hang, speaking of which, this family moved here more than ten years ago.
No one knows what they came here for, but the mountain people are simple and do not treat them as outsiders, but help them build houses and provide them with a lot of farm tools when they first come, so that they can integrate into life here as soon as possible.
Chai Daring and Xia Hang are playmates who grew up together since childhood, it is not an exaggeration to say that they grew up wearing a pair of open crotch pants, as the saying goes, they smell the same, these two people have the same characteristics, that is, they are bold, they dare to go to the grave mountain to catch field chickens together when they are young, and when they were more than ten years old, they peeked at the little widow taking a bath through the window of the little widow in the village.
Now these two people are just idle, this is not a mountain after something very exciting in their opinion, where can the two endure loneliness, and finally a week later, the two of them took a machete, put a hoe on their backs, wore a coat, and dressed themselves up like a joke to go up the mountain.
It seems that even God is helping them that night, three or two stars make the surroundings dark, using the night to cover their figures, the two have been crawling in this mountainous area since childhood, it is an exaggeration to say that they can find the road with their eyes closed, but they can still barely see the road clearly through the dim starlight.
Because of the incident in the village at night, everyone went to bed early, and the two of them slipped out after the house was quiet, and after meeting at the agreed place, they touched the mountain road.
The peaceful life finally found a bright spot, both of them were extremely excited in their hearts, and after they went up the mountain, they were no longer silent, but began to chat happily, and the content of the words was all about how to brag to outsiders about their heroic actions today.
"It's no wonder that it's this summer, and the temperature here is so cold." Chai Daring was the first to notice that something was wrong around him, and said curiously, after all, it is only July, which is logically the hottest weather, but after walking into the mountains and forests, they felt that the temperature around them dropped rapidly, as if it was autumn.
The two of them were wearing thin clothes, and the sudden cooling made both of them look bitter.
Xia Hang looked around curiously, and then gently pulled Chai Daying's clothes, I don't know if it was because of the cold or because he was scared by the quiet atmosphere around him, Xia Hang's voice trembled slightly, "Big ...... Bold, do you think there really are ghosts here? ”
It is also strange to say that Xia Hang didn't feel anything to be afraid of when he and Chai Daring went to the cemetery to catch pheasants, but at this moment, after entering this mountain forest and feeling the silence and cold around him, he couldn't help but be scared in his heart.
In particular, he had a strange feeling, as if a pair of eyes were staring at him in the dark.
This made his hair stand on end.
In fact, Chai Daring also felt hairy at this time, but after seeing Xia Hang's weak appearance, Chai Daring couldn't help but laugh, showing how capable he was in front of Xia Hang.
In the end, it's still a matter of face.
"I said Xia Hang, is that all you have to offer? Follow your bold brother, rest assured that nothing will happen. Chai Daring patted his chest in front of Xia Hang, promising an oath that even he didn't know how much it contained.
In the end, Xia Hang was boldly pulled by Chai and walked towards the mountain.
In summer, there are often a lot of insects and birds singing in the woods, but today is an exception, the surroundings are quiet like a place of death, walking in this quiet environment, Xia Lang and Chai bold breathing involuntarily shortened.
The temperature around them was getting lower and lower, and the two of them were shivering constantly.
"Bold, I...... I think we'd better go back first, right? Xia Hang was already retreating in his heart, and said tremblingly, the changes around him had already exceeded his comprehension, and at this moment he just wanted to go home early and lie on the bed as soon as possible and sleep with his ass facing the sky.
Chai Daring is also retreating in his heart now, but he didn't say it before because of face problems, and now Xia Hang's words are tantamount to bringing him a step, which makes him very happy in his heart, but on his face he still pretends to hate iron but not steel.
"Hey, I said Xia Hang, you are so guts? Hey, let's go back, lest it scare the hell out of you. Originally, Chai Daring said that he wanted to count Xia Hang and show his courage, who knew that as soon as he said this, there was a strange "woo" sound around him.
This sound was like countless ghosts roaring around, which frightened Chai Daring and Xia Hang for a while.
"Ahh
At this time, Xia Hang's ghost cried wolf, and pointed behind Chai Daring with his trembling hand, and finally couldn't suppress the fear in his heart anymore, turned around and ran, and now he only had one thought in his heart, go home quickly.
Being frightened by Xia Hang like this, Chai Daring's legs immediately weakened, and almost subconsciously turned his head to look at the woods behind him, and at that time he felt a wet feeling coming from his crotch.
He was scared to pee.
I don't know when it started, there were a lot of blue flames floating behind him, these flames seemed to come from the Netherworld, Chai Daring was afraid in his heart, and he rolled his eyes and was about to faint.
"Ghost ...... Ghost fire? ”
Chai boldly shouted in a trembling voice, turned around and wanted to escape.
It's just that as soon as he took a step, his feet seemed to be hooked by something, and his body didn't keep it stable for a while, so he fell directly on his stomach.
This fall is a bad thing, Chai boldly found in horror, where is the place where he is now, where is there still a mountain road, at this moment he is lying on top of a corpse, here is like a sea of skeletons, he looks at the bones of corpses.
"Giggle...... Giggle......"
The house leak happened to rain overnight, and when Chai Daring was scared, there was a terrifying laughter around him, which finally made Chai Daring's nerves, which were already on the verge of collapse, completely disconnected, and fainted directly after screaming.
When Chai Daring woke up, it was already noon the next day, as soon as he woke up, he had a shiver for no reason, and the terrifying shadow of last night immediately erupted, so frightened that he subconsciously looked around, but was surprised to find that there were no corpses around him, only dead branches and leaves.
"This ...... Could it be that yesterday was all a dream? ”
Chai Ming had doubts in his heart, but whether it was a dream or reality, he didn't want to stay here for a moment, and immediately wanted to go down the mountain, but after only two or three steps, Chai Daring was surprised to find that not far from him was actually another book pressed by the soil.
