Chapter 56

Good old beggar!

――――――――――

"I originally didn't believe in demons and monsters, but after what happened to Brother Huzi. This belief began to be gradually dismantled."

Uncle Zhu recalled:

That was the first time I saw the old beggar. I don't know what his last name is, I don't know what his name is, and even when he leaves here, I just call this strange old man by the old beggar, as if he were strange.

Not long after the old beggar appeared in the town, strange things began to happen. The team responsible for developing the tourist attraction here has a constant disappearance of workers, and then accidents, and finally the body is found under the old locust tree

Immediately, the strange things in Xishan Village more than ten years ago began to be revealed.

Many people who had experienced the wind and rain and escaped said in horror: "It's a ghost, it's the ghost who has come to take revenge again!" ”

The gossip is getting worse and worse and outrageous......

Uncle Zhu said: But I know that this is definitely not a wronged ghost retaliating, at least it is not Brother Huzi's unjust soul retaliating. Because...... Brother Huzi's enemies are all dead, what else does he have to take revenge on! Besides, these workers are all outsiders, how can they have any connection with Brother Huzi?

That day, as rumors of haunting were spreading more and more outrageous. Curious, I and a few fellow villagers found the tent dormitory set up by the engineering team at the foot of the mountain, and wanted to know what they thought about it!

But just as a few of us found the tent, we were attracted by a commotion.

"Stinky beggar, go far!"

The sound of pushing and shoving was accompanied by a little cursing, and I saw an old beggar being pushed by one of the engineering team guards of the dormitory, pushing him out of the dormitory......

I took a closer look, but wasn't it the old beggar I met yesterday? Why is this old family still here!

I watched the old beggar, although he was constantly being driven out by the engineering team, but he did not give up and shouted: "Don't go inside, don't go into the mountains!" It's going to kill you! ”

But his words, where does anyone believe! Everyone treats him like he's a madman! After pushing him out, no one paid any attention to him. I don't know how my heart suddenly softened at that time. I walked over and picked up the old beggar, and I looked at him, and he looked at me.

It's just that my expression is one of sympathy, and although he is still sympathetic, it has a little complicated meaning.

He shook off my hand holding him and snorted, "A group of foolish people will die sooner or later!" ”

I was thrown away by him, and I was very unhappy in my heart, and said in my heart: This old thing is really good, I was kind enough to help you up, and you still treated me like this!

I was so angry that I turned around and left. How did I know that the old beggar suddenly stopped me, I thought to myself; I realized my mistake and wanted to apologize to me.

I didn't know that the old beggar asked shamelessly: "Boy, I have no place to eat tonight, can I go to your house for a meal?" ”

I was angry, and was about to point at this old guy and scold: "Where are you going!" ”

It's just that seeing the old beggar deliberately pretending to be pitiful, he really can't bear to say such cruel words. Gritting his teeth, he said, "Our family eats and drinks gruel tonight, if you don't dislike it, come here!" ”

The old beggar said with a happy face, "The gruel is good!" Good gruel! Porridge nourishes people, gruel nourishes people even more! ”

In this way, the old beggar came to my house to eat in the evening.

It was the first time I had seen such a hungry beggar, like the reincarnation of a starving ghost who had never eaten in his previous life. I drank a big pot of gruel, and then I had dinner and burped and left.

Before leaving, he said inexplicably: "Don't close the door too early at night!" ”

At that time, there was no one else in our family, to be exact, I just went back to my hometown to see it. So at night, it seems very lonely to be alone!

At this time, at about ten o'clock in the evening, the voice of the old beggar sounded in front of my house!

When I opened the door, I saw the old beggar standing at the door of my house with a brand-new white lantern in his hand, and said with a stern face: "Go!" Come with me somewhere! ”

"Where are you going?" I asked curiously.

"Old locust tree!"

I was stunned instantly!

Old locust tree ????

If outsiders don't know what horrors are there in the old locust tree, I have experienced it with my own eyes.

There is a place where Sister Fangzi hanged herself, and I heard the old people say that the locust tree that someone hanged will forever leave the yin qi of the deceased, specifically to scare passers-by.

Coupled with the recent disappearance of the troubled engineering team members, I have ten thousand fears of the old locust tree in my heart, and the old beggar kept muttering in his heart: Can I go to that place at night?

The old beggar also saw my concerns, smiled and said, "Don't worry, I'm here!" Big ghosts and little ghosts have to make way for me! ”

“……”

Subsequently, in a daze, he was taken to the old locust tree by the old beggar.

The old beggar squatted down with me in the grass and blew out the lantern! Then he took out two grapefruit leaves and wiped my eyes, and then told me: Wait a while, what will you see! I have to endure not to shout!

I nodded. Suddenly, I noticed that the old beggar's momentum had changed! It becomes tall and majestic, it becomes very deep.

The wind flickered, giving the impression of standing in the snow without clothes on in winter.

I looked at the old beggar, and he kept staring at the old locust tree. All the way up to ......

"Whoosh ......"

A gust of wind suddenly blew the leaves of the old locust tree, and the sound of rattling suddenly became particularly terrifying at this moment.

I subconsciously looked up there, only to see a dark shadow suddenly coming out from behind the old locust tree, and I didn't know what strange things I was doing at the moment holding the old locust tree.

Just as the black shadow was about to move in a different direction, I suddenly realized that the direction in which the black shadow was going was not the place where the engineering team was going.

In an instant, many thoughts popped into my head: Is it really a haunting? Could it really be that Brother Huzi's unjust soul is still lingering here?

In the blink of an eye, the shadow was gone.

The old beggar suddenly got up and picked me up. Think about the eighteen-year-old me who is strong and strong, at least 130 pounds. The old beggar was fifty years old, and his thin body dragged me up as if it were effortless, and his feet moved as fast as the wind. chased after the shadow......

Not long after, the old beggar chased the black shadow to the engineering team's dormitory. At this time, I was picked up by the old beggar all the way, and at the moment I was already full of meat and vegetables, and I felt like I was going to vomit out.

But when I saw that the black shadow was actually grabbing an unconscious engineer and fleeing into the mountain. Suddenly, he couldn't help shouting: "Someone! There are ghosts! ”

Under this shout, it can be regarded as completely alarming all the sleeping members of the engineering team!

In an instant, everyone, dressed or not, ran out of the tent!
