Volume 6 I Want to Become a Demon and Kill the World_Chapter 29 A Voice in the Dark
I've never seen this kind of look, repulsive, cold, vigilant...... The way they looked at me made me feel like I had been bitten by a poisonous snake, and I felt a chill suddenly rise in my back, and I wanted to turn around and leave.
"That, I just saw you boiling medicine, so I asked casually, I didn't mean anything else." Seeing their eyes, I quickly explained with a smile on my face, for fear that they would misunderstand what I meant.
But it was too late.
The old man at home, who looked to be nearly eighty, stared at me tightly with a pair of cloudy eyes, and his voice was hoarse and low, "I'm sorry, I suddenly thought that we still have something to do at night at home, and I can't let you spend the night." Young man, you can try it at someone else's house, our family is not good. ”
He said he was embarrassed, but his tone didn't feel embarrassed at all, and he approached me as he spoke, as if he was afraid that I wouldn't go.
"Uncle, I'm a foreigner, and I really don't have a place to go at night. I didn't know just now, I might have offended you, but I really didn't mean anything else......" I softened my voice, intending to show weakness and see if I could stay.
Before I could finish my sentence, everyone in the family stood up and slowly approached me, their eyes were cold, as if a poisonous snake was spitting out a core and approaching me.
"Okay, okay, I'll go, let's go, don't be angry." I scrambled up from my seat, soothed them with a smile on my face, and then reluctantly turned around and walked out of the house. I had just walked out of this house, and the door was slammed shut, as if I were some kind of plague viper, and I was afraid to avoid it.
Their attitude, when I asked them if they were boiling the medicine, was diametrically opposed!
Coincidentally, I had just been pushed out of the door by this family, and the cold man was pushed out by another family, and he was also helpless and wry.
The two of us told each other about our experiences, and only then did we realize that the experiences of the two of us were almost the same, and when he was also talking about medicine and illness, the family suddenly changed their faces and threw him out.
"It seems that what Wan Bo said is right, these sick people are very taboo about this, and they don't even let them mention it." After listening to the cold man's story, I knew that something was wrong. Now there are not many terrible infectious diseases, and it is born at the same time in several families, so it should not be a taboo disease, but the reaction of these families is obviously too strange and cautious.
The cold man looked back at the door of the house he had just come out of, and his voice was solemn, "Strange, what kind of illness is it, so cautious?" ”
I also looked at the closed door of the house, lowered my voice and said to the cold man: "Senior brother, otherwise, let's go over the wall and go in later?" I don't believe they can still find us and guard against us? ”
The cold man was also about to climb over the wall to go in to see, and the two of us hit it off.
The two of us went to the commissary for the first time to have a meal, and the proprietress saw that it was us again, so she was very enthusiastic, I asked a little tentatively, and the proprietress also looked secretive, and deliberately lowered her voice, "Two little brothers, sister, I advise you, but don't be curious, I heard that their disease will be contagious, and people will die!" ”
Will there still be dead people?
"So, someone has already died?" After listening to the words of the proprietress, I and the cold man glanced at each other, and I asked with a pretended curiosity but not a concern.
"Why haven't you ever died?" The proprietress glanced around and deliberately lowered her voice, "I just died two yesterday, I am not very old, I am not sick or sick on weekdays, but I suddenly died, and the old people in the village all said that they were evil, otherwise how could they die?" ”
Two people have already died in Xiao Gezhuang?
However, Vamber did not mention it.
Could it be that Wan Bo is old, so he forgot about it?
But it's not right, Xiaogezhuang is so big, two people died at once, and Wan Bo will always be invited to be the chief in the past, how can he forget that two people died in the village?
I still vividly remember that when we asked him if there was anything unusual in the village, he meditated for a long time and said no, until we left, and said that several families were sick, not a few days before and after.
What exactly is Wanbo avoiding?
We talked to the hostess while eating, and it was about nine o'clock in the evening after eating.
Although Xiaogezhuang is next to the imperial capital, but there is very little entertainment life at night, and the living habits are very similar to the countryside, although it is nine o'clock, most of the people in the village have turned off the lights, and they have obviously fallen asleep early, and only a few people are still on the lights.
I said goodbye to the proprietress with the cold man, and walked towards the houses at the east end of the village.
As mentioned earlier, the courtyard walls of each house in the small villages are very low, and you can clearly see the scene in the yard from the outside. When we went to the two houses we had visited in the evening, we found that the lights were turned off, and the house and yard were so dark that we couldn't see anything clearly.
The cold man and I waited outside for a while, and after making sure that everyone in the family had rested, the two of us climbed into the courtyard and approached the house with a cat.
At this time, we don't know which room the patient lives in, so we can only speculate: the family's residence will basically distinguish between the old and the young according to the direction and the location of the house.
And the old people we saw today were all fine, and the sick ones should be the young people in the family, so I and the cold man went directly to the side room.
We felt under the window of the side room, waited patiently for a moment, and did not act rashly.
We had barely touched the window of the side room when there was a low sound, low but strange, like the sound of pain and pleasure. My cheeks burned as I listened, the sound was all too familiar to me...... I have a lot of storage on my computer.
I frowned slightly, this sound, where is it like the voice of a sick person?
Could it be that we are getting the wrong information, that these people are not sick at all, but have other hidden secrets?
In the dark, I looked at the cold man, and the cold man was also puzzled, obviously not knowing what was going on.
Before we could communicate with each other, we heard the voice in the room, which suddenly rose a few decibels!
The voice was raised so suddenly that the cold man and I were defenseless, and we were so frightened that we shivered and suddenly looked up into the room together.
It was very dark in the house, and before we could see anything clearly, we heard the lights in the direction next door turn on all of a sudden, and the cold man and I were slightly taken aback, and immediately found a hidden corner to hide.
We had just taken cover when we saw two figures hurrying out of the next room and rushing into the side room. They were in a hurry, and when they rushed to the side door, they almost kicked the door open, and then rushed in like the wind.
I looked at the cold man and I, and I instantly understood in my heart that the figure just now was definitely not the kind of voice we guessed, but the person in the side room was really sick, otherwise these two people would not be in such a hurry.
As soon as the two of them rushed into the side room, they heard the sound of the sudden shouting in the room suddenly rising again, like a musical instrument turning up the sound to the highest level, and then it stopped abruptly!
In the courtyard, there was a sudden dead silence.
This dead silence is unsettling.
A short moment later, a cry suddenly sounded in the room, "My son, ......"
The howl was a woman's voice.
The woman had just started crying when a man reprimanded her, "Why are you crying, don't you shut up quickly, are you planning to bring everyone in?" ”
, this man is really ruthless, his own children are dead, and he doesn't let his women cry for their children!
But the strange thing is that after the woman heard the man's voice, the howling really stopped abruptly, and all that was left was a low sob, and a low voice of chanting. The voice was fast, urgent, like chanting some incantation.
For a long time, the room was filled with these voices, first the woman alone, and then the man along with him, and their voices were urgent, reverent, and with a certain panic that we could not understand.
I'm even more weird with the cold man, what are they doing here, summoning souls?
"Doesn't sound like that." After listening for a moment, the cold man said in a low voice: "The soul has not left the body yet, so there is no need to summon the soul." ”
So what are they doing?
What's even more strange is that after the two of them chatted together for a long time, the woman suddenly stopped and asked the man with a crying voice, "Daddy, son, this, does this work?" ”
"You mother-in-law is really, don't they all come back like this, what do you ask, don't hurry up and read it!" The woman suddenly interrupted, which made the man very angry, and the man was not angry enough to reprimand his woman, and then read it again.
The woman was reprimanded, but she did not dare to slack off, and immediately followed closely again, and her voice was even more pious than before.
The cold man and I stood silently outside the window, listening to the movement in the room with doubts, and we didn't know what the couple was doing.
"Is there anyone else in their family?" This is the one that the cold man has been to before, I kept my voice to the lowest and asked the cold man in a low voice.
The cold man shook his head, "No." ”
I pondered for a moment, and whispered to the cold man, "Senior brother, is there any way for you to let us go in and have a look?" ”
The cold man turned his head to look at me, and finally nodded, "I really have a solution, but it's a bit risky." ”
I was anxious to find out what was going on inside, so I immediately asked, "What can I do, as long as I can go in and see." I'm dying of curiosity right now, and I really want to go in and see what's going on inside. ”
As soon as my words fell, I heard the two people who had been chattering just now, and the sound suddenly stopped.
I quickly shut up when I realized that their voices had suddenly stopped.
The courtyard was silent, without the slightest sound.
A strange uneasiness gradually rose from my heart.
