Chapter 30: The Human Snake
After staying in the hotel for a day, the next day Lao Zhu got all the information about Yu Yingying from a police friend, as well as the information of her friend.
According to the contact information of Yu Yingying's best friend on the information, Tang Yichuan and several people contacted a Yu Yingying's best friend.
The girl sat in front of Tang Yichuan, and cried as soon as she mentioned Yu Yingying, and the girl said to Tang Yichuan vigorously: "She is not dead, I know that she must not be dead!" ”
Tang Yichuan didn't know if the girl really believed that Yu Yingying was not dead, or if she was a little unbearable about Yu Yingying's death, and then denied Yu Yingying's death from the bottom of his heart, refusing to admit the reality that Yu Yingying was dead.
In some ways, Yu Yingying's death is already an established fact, but looking at the girl's affirmative appearance, it seems that there is something wrong.
There were a lot of people in the café on the weekend, and the girl's crying attracted a lot of attention, Tang Yichuan persuaded and comforted a few words softly, but the girl was still excited, "You didn't believe me, right, you think I lied to you, you also think Yingying is dead, right, you are all the same, you don't believe what I say, you all think Yingying is dead, and you all think that Yingying will not come back!" ”
"It's not that I don't believe you - then tell me why you think Yingying is not dead." Tang Yichuan was a little helpless by the girl's toss.
The girl didn't seem to be able to say why, but her tone was very firm, and she told Tang Yichuan that she saw Yu Yingying, and because she saw it, she decided that Yu Yingying was not dead.
"Where did you see that Yu Yingying is not dead?" Tang Yichuan was a little surprised, could it be that he saw Yu Yingying's ghost? That's also said in the past, but now Yu Yingying doesn't even appear in front of him, how can she appear in front of others, since she is asking for help, she should appear in front of herself.
"Two nights ago. She's coming for me. The girl finally calmed down, and she tried to stop her sobs, but she was still sobbing and hiccuping when she spoke, "Uh, she." Well, she seemed to be talking about a person, and she asked me to sue that person to save her. ”
"Who?" Tang Yichuan looked at the girl and wondered if he was talking about himself.
"The surname is Don, one of her college classmates, and she said she knew he was an exorcist and could help her." The girl took a sip of water, the hiccups stopped, and she began to recall what Yu Yingying had told her. After thinking about it for a long time, I finally mentioned the word Houshan.
Tang Yichuan was suddenly a little excited, "Back Mountain? Which back mountain, and where is the back mountain? ”
After the girl recovered from her grief, she suddenly shook her head, and she suddenly became shrewd, "Who are you, why should I sue you where is the mountain behind you." ”
The girl's vigilance is still very strong. Although I was overly sad at first, I remembered that I couldn't trust others when I came back to my senses.
"I'm the classmate you said Yu Yingying's surname was Tang. I also received a text message from her. But she asked me to go to the back mountain, and I don't know where the back mountain is. Tang Yichuan said and took out Yu Yingying's mobile phone to show the girl, opened the text message, and Yu Yingying's text message was still in it.
The girl became even more vigilant: "Who are you! You're not her classmate, are you? ”
"I'm her classmate." Tang Yichuan didn't know what the girl thought, and after showing her the phone, she didn't believe him very much. The ignorant look just now is gone, but it has become quite serious.
"That's not right."
"What's wrong?"
"This is her phone, this is Yingying's phone, how can you have Yingying's phone!" The girl stared at Tang Yichuan vigilantly, still refusing to believe Tang Yichuan.
Only then did Tang Yichuan react. immediately took out his mobile phone to show the girl, and the girl was still a little skeptical after reading it, "Are you really Yingying's classmate?" ”
"yes, otherwise I'd be looking for her for something." Tang Yichuan said.
After carefully looking at Tang Yichuan several times, probably after making sure that Tang Yichuan should not be a bad person, the girl nodded slightly and said, "Then I believe you." The back mountain that Yingying said is the back mountain of her hometown, and Yingying said that there are ghosts in the back mountain when she was a child, and they want to eat her. After talking about it for many years, I always thought that she just had a shadow when she was a child, but I didn't expect that something really happened. ”
"There are ghosts in the back mountains? What the hell is it? ”
"I don't know ghosts, how do I know what ghosts are." The girl rubbed her somewhat red and swollen eyes, "She only said that there was something to eat her, and every night she dreamed that she was eaten by something, and then that thing became her appearance, and it haunted her all the time." You must help her, Yingying is definitely not dead, I saw Yingying, she doesn't look like she is dead, how can she get pregnant if she dies......"
"What, what did you say?" Tang Yichuan seemed to hear the word pregnancy.
"She's never had a boyfriend, there's no way she's going to get pregnant - I see her belly, it's big, it's definitely pregnant." The girl began to cry again as she spoke, as if she had thought of something bad, and sobbed heavily.
Tang Yichuan handed the girl a tissue and waited patiently for the girl to finish crying, and then listened to the girl continue.
That night, the girl had just come home from work.
As soon as she entered the house, she smelled a strange smell, and when she saw a person dressed in white at the window, the girl was startled, thinking that she had met a thief, but when she thought that the door lock was not broken, it was unlikely that it was a thief, and her house was on the eighteenth floor, and it was impossible for a thief to climb in from the outside.
Then, the girl boldly took a look, and found that the woman in white standing at the window was a little familiar, and if she looked closely, wasn't it the back of her good friend Yingying!
Yingying has been dead for a long time, how could she suddenly appear here?
At that time, the girl didn't feel scared, but her nose was very sore, she rubbed her eyes, made sure that she really saw Yingying, and walked forward nervously.
She knew that even if she saw a ghost, Yingying would not hurt her, because Yingying was her best sister, and she had always been very good to her, and she couldn't bear to hurt her.
When the girl walked behind Yingying, Yingying turned around and saw that it was really Yingying, and the girl immediately hugged her.
Yingying's body is physical. Her body still has a trace of warmth, although it is not as warm as a human body, but it is clearly warm.
Then, the girl felt something in her abdomen, a little hard, and looked down. Yingying's belly is much bigger than before, and it is clearly like a pregnant woman who is about to give birth!
"Yingying, you're Yingying, right?" The girl burst into tears, not knowing how to inquire about this strange situation.
"Tingting, I don't have much time, you listen to me, you help me find someone, a person surnamed Tang, his name is Tang Yichuan. It's my college classmate, I heard that he can help me, and after you find him, tell him, Houshan, where is the backmountain of our hometown, let him go to that place to find me. I'm in so much pain that I don't want to go on any longer......"
Yingying quickly finished what she wanted to say, and looked at Tingting reluctantly. Tingting grabbed Yingying's hand and watched Yingying suddenly turn around and jump out of the window. Then it quickly fell, and finally disappeared into the night.
"What else do you see?" Tang Yichuan also felt that things were a little strange.
Yingying doesn't seem to be dead, dead people don't have body temperature, and it is impossible to get pregnant, unless they happen to be pregnant with a child in their womb before they die.
And. Yingying's way of leaving is very special, she jumped out of the window, and if it was an ordinary ghost, she would simply disappear or float away. But the act of jumping is like the act of one person.
"When she left, I seemed to see a dragon, but I couldn't see it very clearly, and it disappeared in a flash." Tingting said.
"Dragons?" Tang Yichuan thought for a while and asked, "You said that you smelled a smell when you saw Yingying, what is the specific smell?" ”
"It's hard to describe, it's cold, it's a little fishy, it's weird, it's like the smell of fish." Tingting tilted her head and thought about it, then said.
Tang Yichuan looked at Tingting, thought for a long time, and thought of the snakes that Yu Yingying's house saw, it seemed that Yu Yingying's death or disappearance was related to these snakes. Contact what the mountain wolf said again, the snake wants to eat people, could it be that Yu Yingying was taken away by the snake, or was eaten by the snake?
The bones are now in the back mountain, so Yu Yingying wants him to go over and bring the bones out?
Tang Yichuan thought about it, eighty percent is like this, then you have to go to the back mountain to have a look.
These snakes are a little special, and I don't know what kind of snakes they are, Tang Yichuan asked Murong Qingshu and Nalan Ning to check the information, and after making an appointment with Tingting to leave for Yu Yingying's hometown in the afternoon, Tang Yichuan went to find Nalan Ning and Murong Qingshu.
Murong Qingshu and Nalan Ning read some information at the residence of a friend of Lao Zhu, a friend of Lao Zhu who has a habit of collecting information on different monsters and ghosts, and has a lot of literature, and there is also a lot of information on snakes.
According to the description given by Tang Yichuan, Murong Qingshu and Nalan Ning came to a conclusion.
"I guess that's it." Murong Qingshu spread out a book that recorded snake-like monsters and turned to one of the pages, "Human snakes." ”
The human snake is a special kind of snake, born with human hands and feet, can walk upright, haunts in groups, and will make a laughing sound when it meets humans, and then it will eat people.
This kind of snake is recorded in the "Gezhi Mirror Original", but the actual thing is slightly different from the record.
There is also a picture of a human snake in the snake demon book that has been sorted out, and the picture of the little snake is similar to the human snake that Tang Yichuan saw, and he can't see human hands and feet, but he does make strange laughs.
"That's what it should be." After Tang Yichuan glanced at it twice, he was probably sure that this snake was probably the snake on the information they found, "Isn't there a record of how to clean it up?" ”
"Nope." Murong Qingshu said, "It should be similar to an ordinary monster." ”
"Okay, I guess I know. I have the bottom of my heart. I have made an appointment with Tingting, I will go there at two o'clock in the afternoon, and I will not be able to get to the place until the evening. Tang Yichuan said, "It's still uncertain whether Yingying is really dead, so it's best for us to act quickly, and don't delay until the person is really dead." ”
"No problem." Nalan Ning nodded.
"The human snake is also one of the hundred ghosts, right?" Murong Qingshu suddenly asked.
Tang Yichuan thought about the picture of a hundred ghosts, it seemed that there was indeed a person and a snake, "It should be counted." ”
"Okay, we're one step closer to our goal." Murong Qingshu's child's face looks serious, which makes people feel very cute.
Nalan Ning touched Murong Qingshu's head, now motherhood is overflowing, as if she has raised a child. is exceptionally good to Murong Qingshu.
After returning to the hotel to meet the fox, several people were ready to leave to pick up Tingting and go to the bus station.
Tingting insisted on going over by herself, saying that she would not be afraid if she met a ghost, how to go to see how Yu Yingying was doing, since she knew that they were going to find Yingying, it was a little unreasonable to go over.
Thinking of it, after all, Tingting is more familiar with it. So Tang Yichuan didn't mind bringing Tingting over.
Tingting had already packed her things, standing at the door of the house waiting for Tang Yichuan and a few people to come over, and when they saw Tang Yichuan, they immediately jumped into the car, and while fastening their seat belts, Tingting said, "You must be able to save Yingying back, right?" ”
Tang Yichuan said: "Do your best, whether you can save Ren Shun Lì, we can't guarantee whether she is alive or dead, we are not sure." ”
Tingting wanted to say something. But after thinking about it, he still didn't say it, but said seriously: "I believe in you, you are also Yingying's classmate, since you are here, you will definitely help Yingying." You don't look like a bad person. ”
After arriving at the bus station, a group of people got out of the car, and Chu Yan commanded to drive the people who came from them back. After buying the tickets, several people got on the bus and set off.
Tang Yichuan sat with Nalan Ning. Nalan Ning sat by the window, looking thoughtfully at the outside world.
"We've been here for a long time, and we don't know how they're doing." Nalan Ning said, "I miss them. Think of each and every one of them. ”
Tang Yichuan knew who Nalan Ning was talking about, it was their group of friends, after they entered the Nine Gates of Hell. encountered such an incident, no one expected that the people in that world did not know if it was okay, whether the yin and yang chaos had been resolved, or because of their behavior. The chaos of yin and yang will gradually return to normal.
I don't know if the Nine Gates of Hell have been locked up.
Fortunately, fate followed, Tang Yichuan thought to himself, it is not without benefit for fate and luck to follow, at least he will not make trouble in that world.
The bus is not fast, the road here is not very easy to walk, there are mountains on both sides, and when you look down, you can see a very deep valley, as if the car is driving in the air.
After a drowsy journey, when the sky gradually darkened, the bus finally arrived.
This is a very dilapidated bus station, the road is full of potholes, from the bus station is an extremely simple street, on both sides of the scattered department stores and small supermarkets, there are few pedestrians on the street, only three or three people walk by.
A small town that looks extremely depressed is nothing compared to a big city.
Tingting said, "This is our town, Yingying's family is in Lin Village." It's not far from here, I'll take you there. ”
Tang Yichuan and a few people followed Tingting all the way, this place is not a tourist resort, so there are relatively few people from other places, and their appearance has attracted the attention of many locals.
After walking for about half an hour, it was still a cement road at first, but after walking for a while, the road became not easy to walk.
The roads are all relatively uneven, not accessible by car, there are some wilderness on both sides, occasionally one or two families can be seen, and at dinner, some houses are full of smoke.
In the evening, the sky was beautiful, and the setting sun was blurring a red cloud.
Tingting said with emotion as she walked, "We haven't changed much here, Yingying and I used to walk on this road, but after so many years, the road is still the same road." Since then, Yingying has often said that she will be eaten, I have never cared about what she said, I have always thought that she was talking nonsense, joking, now I think it is true, since that time nightmares have begun to haunt her, but I don't know, it turns out that she has always been haunted by nightmares. She must have been afraid that I would worry, so she never told me seriously. ”
Tingting obviously blamed herself, thinking that Yu Yingying's incident had a lot to do with what she might have, all because she didn't care enough about Yu Yingying, and Yu Yingying would have such a big thing.
However, in fact, Tang Yichuan thinks that this matter must have nothing to do with Tingting, if it has anything to do with Tingting, Tingting should have had an accident a long time ago.
Tang Yichuan comforted her, "You can't be blamed for this, even if you really want to help, but you don't know anything about this, so you can't help her, you're doing well enough now." You've done your best, haven't you? ”
Hearing Tang Yichuan's words, Tingting actually didn't feel comforted, she was still very worried about Yu Yingying.
If Yu Yingying had died at the beginning, she wouldn't have been so uncomfortable at this time, just leave, and she would have been reincarnated. will go to another wonderful world, but now Yu Yingying is still alive, and she lives so painfully, so she can't help but feel sorry for her, and she can't help but worry about her.
In the final analysis, Tingting still cares about Yingying very much, and she regards Yingying as her most important friend.
They arrived at Tingting's house first, Tingting's home is relatively good in this village, a two-story small building. Although it is a little old, but the decoration inside is not bad, Tingting said that there should be no one in Yingying's house, so let them live here for one night now, and then put the back mountain to tomorrow morning.
It is very unsafe to go to the back mountain at night, although Tingting is very concerned about Yu Yingying, but she does not disobey, she is not afraid of having something to do with herself. She was afraid that Tang Yichuan and they would encounter something bad.
There is only one grandmother in Tingting's house, who is Tingting's grandmother. Grandma saw that there were guests at home, she was very enthusiastic, and she was helping to clean up the room, and she was buying vegetables and cooking something, busy but very happy, and the old man was very lonely here.
The old grandmother is washing the vegetables. Tang Yichuan moved a small pony and sat next to the grandmother, washing vegetables around the well with the grandmother.
The grandmother doesn't speak Mandarin very well, and the few words she can say are all with a strong local accent, which sounds so good that it takes a lot of effort to understand, Tang Yichuan and the grandmother chatted with each other. When it came to the back mountain here, the old grandmother said that there were monsters on the back mountain, and they kept eating children.
Speaking of monsters, Tang Yichuan probably guessed that it should be a human snake, and it seems that there may really be something eating people in the back mountain.
The old grandmother said that she was almost eaten by a big snake when she went to Houshan, but fortunately there was an amulet around her neck, and the amulet burned when the big snake flew over, scaring the giant snake away.
Since then, the grandmother has never been to the back mountain, and the people in the village rarely go to the back mountain to play.
Speaking of which, only Yu Yingying often goes to the back mountain, and her grandmother said with emotion that it is because she often goes to the back mountain, so she only has an accident now, and at that time, she felt that Yu Yingying, a child, was wrong, and no one else went to the back mountain, she would be afraid of the back mountain, but Yu Yingying was always in the back mountain.
The grandmother said that Tingting often had to go to the back mountain, but later the grandmother stopped Tingting and didn't let Tingting go to the back mountain.
Tingting has no memory of what she used to do in the back mountain, although the old grandmother knew, she didn't remind Tingting, saying that it was good to forget these things, those monsters in the back mountain didn't know what it was, don't provoke it, and don't know if you have to be a stand-in.
"Don't go to the back mountains." The old grandmother suddenly looked up at Tang Yichuan, this grandmother's eyes were cloudy, sometimes clear, Tang Yichuan was a little stunned for a while, feeling that this old woman looked special.
Seeing that Tang Yichuan didn't answer, the old grandmother said again: "Don't go to the back mountain!" ”
This time, the grandmother aggravated her tone, and because of this, Tang Yichuan was taken aback.
The old grandmother looked a little fierce, and all of a sudden Tang Yichuan forgot that the old man in front of him was just an old lady of sixty or seventy years old.
When the dishes were washed, the old woman began to look old again, and she picked them up and walked towards the house.
Tang Yichuan stretched out his hand to help the old lady get the vegetables, and followed the old lady back to the house.
The foxes found a pair of badminton rackets and played badminton on the court at the door.
went to the kitchen to cook, the grandmother asked Tang Yichuan to help with it, and she was busy, although the old lady was old, her stir-fry skills were not bad, and there was a pungent fragrance as soon as she stir-fried.
Tang Yichuan looked at the old lady while chopping vegetables, and always felt that the old lady had a force that attracted him very much, so that he couldn't help but want to help the old lady do things.
After a while, the old lady finished all the food, and Tang Yichuan went out to call a few people outside to come in for dinner. (To be continued......)
