Chapter 14: The Axe Man
The man raised his hand and made a silent gesture, his face turned white with fright, and he wouldn't let us speak. In the dark hut, we were also made creepy by this suspicious atmosphere, and everyone thought that there must be something very scary outside the hut at this time.
Brother Ning motioned for us to stay where we were, and he tiptoed to the outhouse, carefully leaning against the crack in the window and peeking out. We watched in horror from behind, and we didn't know what he saw.
The knocking on the door gradually stopped, and after waiting for a while, no one knocked again, and the person who knocked on the door seemed to have left.
I really couldn't suppress my curiosity, so I walked over lightly, hid behind Brother Ning, and looked out along the gap. It's okay not to look at it, but I'm stupid when I see it.
When we came, the sky was gloomy, but I could feel that it was morning and the light was abundant. At this time, I saw that it was dark outside, and I could barely see anything, as if suddenly there was a total solar eclipse, and the sky and the earth were completely shrouded in darkness.
I asked in a low voice, "Brother Ning, do you see what's outside?" β
Brother Ning's face was very solemn, he didn't speak, he went straight to the back room, grabbed the man's neck by the collar, dragged him outside, and shouted in a low voice: "What the hell is going on?" β
The man sat down on the ground in fright, stumbled and said, "You...... Did you see them? β
Brother Ning looked at all of us and nodded: "Just now I saw a few people in dark black old-fashioned raincoats knocking on the door, and they all buttoned the hoods of their raincoats on their heads, so they couldn't see clearly. But it felt like they had been on a mountain road for a long time. β
Director Tan rubbed his teeth and kicked the man with his foot: "Say! What the hell is going on? β
The man swallowed: "My name is Lin Yong, I am a travel friend, and I belong to a hiking club. We climbed the mountain yesterday, but we were swept into the mud by heavy rain and landslides, and I was the only one who climbed out of the mountain. β
Lin Yong's expression was very frightened, intermittent, and he could hardly speak.
He calmed his mind and said, "I was glad I survived, when suddenly I heard a voice from deep in the woods. I thought it was a beast, so I quickly found a place to hide, I ...... I saw a few people in black raincoats jumping into the mud of the landslide...... Drag out a corpse. It was too dark for me to see, and the corpse was probably one of my companions. After they dragged out the body, they ......"
"What did they do?" Director Tan asked anxiously.
"They looked like lumberjacks in the mountains, each with an axe on their bodies, and they," Lin Yong burst into tears: "They dismembered the body with an axe...... Chop it up and chop it raw into a meat sauce. β
We listened in horror and looked at each other.
Lin Yong gasped: "I was very close to them at the time, for fear of making a noise for them to hear." I gritted my teeth, squatted there, and watched the whole process. After chopping up, they jumped into the mud to look for it, but they couldn't find a second body. I hear them...... They said that they would have to cut one more person in the next two days to complete the quota given by Captain Chu......"
Lu Wen's eyes widened and said, "I'll go, why is this so much like an American horror movie, there are also perverted killers in the mountains." β
"The people I just saw outside in black raincoats are them?" Brother Ning asked with a gloomy face.
"Yes!" Lin Yong cried: "They must be looking for me, to complete the death quota." Let's go, they've found it. β
Director Tan said: "They want to kill you, what does it have to do with us." β
Lin Yong knelt on the ground with a "poof", crying breathlessly: "Brothers, uncles, save me!" You can't be so ruthless. By the way, they are thugs, murderous nature, if they kill red-eyed, it is not ruled out that they will be slaughtered with you. We're grasshoppers connected together......"
"Brother Ning, what should we do?" I asked.
Brother Ning subconsciously looked at Director Tan, now the two of us have the right to say. Brother Ning hesitated: "If we get out of this hut and go to the woods to wander around, it will be more dangerous......"
Lin Yong cried and said, "If we escape from the city, we can still die nine lives, and hide here and die ten lives." β
Director Tan gritted his teeth: "It's a blessing or a curse, it's a disaster that can't be avoided." Let's go, I don't believe that the forest is so big that they can run into it. β
Brother Ning was distraught, and took off the rusty old gun from the wall, the gun was designated to be unable to fire, but it could be temporarily used as a deterrent, and it could be waved as a burning stick at a critical time.
When we came to the door, Brother Ning took a deep breath and pulled suddenly, and we looked out together. Outside, the lights were dark, there was not a trace of light, and the darkness was like congealed cream, tightly wrapped in the air. We don't know what kind of natural phenomenon this is, this mountain is simply strange and terrifying.
Brother Ning looked at all of us and roared, "Go!" β
We all rushed out of the hut, and there was no direction, and we were about to enter the depths of the woods.
At this moment, Lin Yong, who was running at the front, lost control of his voice: "Quick, go back!" People, people are coming. β
I pulled the dumb girl in the back and couldn't see what was going on in front of me, so I watched everyone run towards the hut with their heads in their arms, and I was shocked by this atmosphere, and quickly turned around and ran.
As soon as we entered the hut, I vaguely saw a few people walking out of the black woods. The figures of these people are a little blurry, but you can see that the shoulders are very broad, the waist is thick, and at first glance they are mountain people who often work. They were all wearing black raincoats, with their heads bowed, and deep raincoat covers were fastened on their heads, and their facial features were completely invisible.
What frightened me the most was that these people's hands were clearly shaking, flashing and flashing, I don't know if it was an axe, but it must be a brightly sharpened murder weapon.
We closed the door, but Brother Ning was not at ease, so we pushed the table over again and leaned against the door.
No one dared to speak out, everyone was terrified, and the atmosphere did not dare to breathe. Just listen to the sound of footsteps outside, from far and near. Those people walked slowly and in an orderly manner, and they were all ten and nine out of ten. I had a feeling at the time that we were the turtles in the urn, the mice in the hands of the cats, and it was determined that we couldn't run away, so it depended on how people played.
Footsteps stopped outside the door, and there was no sound for a long time. They don't knock or move, they seem to be standing outside the door.
After waiting for maybe a few minutes, we were so nervous that our gums itched and our scalps tightened for a while. Brother Ning couldn't hold it anymore, leaning against the crack in the window and looking out. Seeing him do this, I leaned over to see it too.
As soon as I put my eyes on the crack of the window, I suddenly saw a big furry face pasted outside the window, and my eyes were facing me viciously. I screamed in fright and sat on the ground.
I only heard a loud "bang", the wooden door was kicked open, and the black-clothed people outside walked in with the cold night wind.
We were so frightened that we fell backwards and clung together.
A total of five people came in, some with axes in their hands, some with large kitchen knives. The model of this kitchen knife is not inferior to the axe, and at first glance it is specially used by the slaughterhouse to chop bones, which is extremely sharp and cold. I don't think it's too difficult to cut off a person's head with this kitchen knife.
Brother Ning was squeezed in front by us, he held the rusty shotgun, and he was almost scared to pee when he heard the voice: "You guys...... What do you do? β
The black-clothed man led by him took two steps forward, raised his axe and aimed it at the wooden table, only to hear a crisp sound of "click", how strong this person was, and he actually smashed the table alive with an axe. Wood fragments flew around, rolling up a cloud of smoke and dust, Brother Ning sighed and threw the shotgun in his hand to the ground, he knew that it was futile to resist.
The man in black waved his hand, and a few people from behind him stepped forward with ropes and tied us up one by one.
I only heard a very ugly male duck voice say, "Take it all away." β
These people took out black cloths and tried to blindfold us. Director Tan barely squeezed out a smile: "What do you call the brothers?" I am the director of the Bureau of Commerce, and my eldest brother is in the Public Security Bureau. β
Before he finished speaking, a man in black came over, slapped him with a big mouth, and hit Director Tan three times in place, his face was swollen.
A big mouth is more effective than any reason, and Director Tan covered his face and honestly stopped talking.
We were blindfolded, strung with ropes, and walked out of the hut. I don't know where to go, anyway, it's a foot deep and a foot shallow, and there is no one to lead the way, so we can only judge where to lead the rope in front of us by feeling, and we will go where. I don't know how many heels I fell along the way, and I was kicked by those men in black if I slowed down. The feet of these people are about to catch up with the Gestapo in big scalp shoes, and when they kick it, the chrysanthemums are numb for a long time.
I don't know how long we walked, but we seemed to enter a room, which had a very long corridor, and as we walked, stairs appeared, which seemed to lead to the basement. It felt cloudy and cold around me, and there was the sound of dripping water. After walking for a while, we finally stopped, and someone removed our blindfolds, and I saw that we were indeed in a cellar now, which was supposed to be used to store cabbage in winter. It is very simple, the walls are made of mountain earth and stones, and there are a few thick wooden pillars scattered in the middle and around the cellar, which are supposed to be load-bearing columns.
There were no less than six of us, even the mute girl was on a rope, and the men in black didn't care about us, threw us here, locked the iron door, and left.
When Lin Yong saw them leaving, he immediately cried and cried, and couldn't stop complaining that we should leave early, and if we were indecisive, everyone would die here. This kid is still a travel friend, his personality is too sissy, Brother Ning was annoyed by crying, and scolded him with his head and face, and Lin Yong closed his mouth.
My psychological quality is not good, I just can't worry about it, squatting, squatting; Sit, can't sit down. Wandering all over the ground. When you pause, your mind will immediately become filled with nervousness and fear.
Director Tan said irritably: "Liu Yang, can you find a place to stay honestly, see you walk around, I'm so troublesome." β
Lu Wen was quite naΓ―ve: "Let's all think of a way together." β
"There's no way to let those perverts catch us, and we won't die well." Lin Yong was furious.
Everyone stopped talking and leaned against the wall. This cellar has a skylight, which is very high, and is sealed with thick iron pillars, so there is no hope of escape. Through the skylight, you can't see the change in the sky outside, it's always dark, and you don't know if it's day or night.
We just stayed there, and my heart was like hundreds of kittens scratching with their paws, and I was irritable, and I couldn't do anything. Staying here for a second feels like ten years.
I don't know how long it took, but when I was half asleep, I suddenly heard the rattling of the iron gate, and someone outside shouted, "Captain Chu has arrived." β
As soon as the iron door opened, a man walked in from the outside.
