Chapter Ninety-Eight: The Grave

A few of us flashlighted, and soon arrived in front of the wooden door, this time, the door was bolted from the inside, and the tofu slammed: "Open the door, open the door, if we don't open it again, we will smash it." After a while, the door was opened from the inside, and the bearded man looked at us with no surprise at all, and then asked in a strange tone, "How do you want to smash it?" ”

Tofu's hand raised in the air was withdrawn stupidly, and he smiled: "Just kidding." ”

The bearded man said, "Come in." He leaned over and motioned for us to enter. I was surprised in my heart, because I had doubts about this person's identity before, so the five of us have not been very polite to this bearded man. It stands to reason that he certainly doesn't have a good impression of us now, and he will take the opportunity to provoke, but I didn't expect that this person would let us into the house without saying a word.

Immediately afterwards, he reinserted the deadbolt, pointed to the open space beside him, and said, "You can sleep there, in this room, those things dare not come to disturb you, sleep." So saying, he lay down on the bed by himself, pulled the black quilt over it, and didn't intend to say anything more to us.

For a while, everyone looked at each other, all confused. Obviously, the thing I saw with Tofu before, this beard is clear. At this time, the lazy man who had been vigilant relaxed, yawned, and said lightly: "We won't stay in this place long, it doesn't matter what happens, rest early, and we have to hurry tomorrow." With that, he found a place to sleep against the wall, and lay comfortably on the ground, his eyes closed at once.

It was the middle of the night, everyone was tired during the day, they were all very sleepy, seeing that the bearded and lazy people were asleep, and the four of us couldn't stand the tofu so we yawned, and said, "Forget it, this person must have lived here for a long time, he has been fine, what can we do if we stay for one night." The lazy guy is right, anyway, it's just one night, and it's going to be, don't think so much. ”

The only vent in the hut was the simple chimney, which, though with a window, was bolted at night, so that there was no view from inside the hut. Except for Hu Ye, who still can't put it down, the big yellow duck and tofu have found a place to sleep.

In the end, he couldn't stand the sleepiness, and Hu Ye also slept.

It was so quiet in the hut that I was almost about to fall asleep when there was a rustling sound from outside the door, as if some animal was scurrying outside. The sound woke up the vigilant lazy and me instantly. Hu Ye didn't fall asleep at all, and the first one turned over and sat up. As for the big yellow duck and tofu, they are still asleep.

In the dark, Hu Ye turned on the flashlight, and the three of us looked at each other without saying much, and looked at the door at the same time. At this time, the rustling sound has been transformed into a rustling sound, as if something is scratching the door with a scratch.

I lowered my voice and said, "Is it an animal out there, or is it a ......?"

Hu Ye shook his head slightly and said, "I'll take a look." Instead of going to the door, he walked to the side window, gun in hand. The lazy guy and I got up with flashlights and watched his movements. Just as he was opening the bolt, a strange voice suddenly came from behind us: "Assistant." ”

Hu Ye paused, turned around, and I and the lazy man also turned around at the same time, but saw that the bearded man had already sat up from the bed, and in the dim light, his eyes were burning, and he looked very angry. He said, "Before dawn, the doors and windows are not allowed to be opened. ”

Hu Ye immediately asked, "Why?" What's outside the door? "To tell the truth, this wooden house does not look solid, at best it can only shelter from the wind and rain, if any beast attacks, it is impossible to support it, I am afraid that it will collapse after two random impacts.

It's not loud outside, so I don't think it's a big animal, it's just some fox badger or something. If it's a fox badger, the bearded man doesn't have to be so angry at all, what exactly is outside the door?

At this time, Tofu and Big Yellow Duck were also tossed by our movements, and asked about the cause and effect, and Tofu boldly walked to the door, wanting to observe the outside through the thin cracks of the wooden door. After watching it for a long time, Tofu said, "It's pitch black, I didn't see anything." ”

The bearded face was obscured by the beard, and it was almost impossible to see his expression except for the love in those eyes. Tofu said that the bearded man said coldly: "Because it is not an animal that is scraping the door, of course you can't see it." ”

Tofu said: "It's not an animal, is it a ghost?" His expression changed suddenly, probably remembering the bald child he had seen before. This rhetorical question, the bearded man did not answer, but stared at the tofu with burning eyes, although he was silent, but it was like a kind of acquiescence.

Immediately afterwards, he said: "If you want to go out, I won't stop you, but if you go out, don't think about coming in, you will bear the consequences." His Chinese accent was still very strange, and after speaking, he lay down on the bed again, with his back to us, as if he really didn't care.

Tofu was timid, so he said, "What if there is a ghost?" Anyway, let's stay overnight, let's have more than one thing to do, so let's leave it alone and continue to sleep. The big yellow duck plucked out his ears and said unceremoniously: "You are sleeping with such a big movement?" And don't you think it's weird? The sound was not like the sound of scratching a wooden board, it was like the sound of scratching some porcelain. ”

I didn't find this detail, but as soon as he reminded me, I couldn't help but listen carefully to the voice, and there was really a difference.

Tofu looked at his watch and said, "It's three o'clock now, and it's dawn in more than two hours, so I said don't make trouble." Big Yellow Page snorted, saying why are you so timid, it's still not a gentleman. Tofu was so excited, and immediately said as if he had been beaten with chicken blood, "Grandpa Dou, I am a pure master, damn, I will let you see and understand today, what is ......" While saying this, he walked towards the door, and I didn't have time to stop it, so I bolted the door and slammed the door open.

The big yellow duck opened his mouth, as if he didn't expect the tofu to be so easily stimulated, and he stared at it for a while and couldn't speak.

As soon as the door opened, a mountain breeze blew in, and the sound of scratching things suddenly dissipated, and I quickly dragged the tofu back, for fear that there would be something dangerous outside the door rushing in.

At this moment, the bearded voice rang out, gloomy and said, "Get out!" The voice was not very polite, and when Tofu saw that there was no danger, he pursed his lips and said, "Go out, go out." With that, he ran out. I chuckled in my heart, knowing that although tofu is nonsense on weekdays, it also knows the severity, and it will not be ambiguous in major matters, why is it so messy in this weird situation tonight? Could it be some surprise?

I looked at the figure of Tofu rushing out, worried that something would happen to him, so I immediately chased after him, and when the rest of the people saw this situation, they naturally didn't stay in the house anymore, and immediately chased him out. Tofu ran extremely fast, but he didn't have a flashlight, so he ran about a hundred meters, fell violently, and let out a wail.

I immediately caught the man, wrung it up from the ground, and scolded: "You kid, what kind of fame are you doing." ”

Tofu panted, looked at the three people who were catching up behind me, breathed a sigh of relief, and said, "Thank God, I finally escaped." ”

He used the word escape, which made me scratch my head for a while. But at this time, I also understand that Tofu should have his intentions in doing this.

I said, "What's going on?" ”

Tofu was just about to speak, and the three lazy people also gathered around, calm and relaxed, only Hu Ye frowned, obviously very dissatisfied with Tofu's unruly and indiscriminate temper. Tofu was glared at by his gaze, and said with a dry smile: "Don't stare at me, if I don't run out, you are still in that grave." ”

"Grave?" The lazy man spat out the word lightly, his face changed suddenly, and he turned his head sharply to look at the road we had come.

Tofu nodded and said, "Yes, there is no wooden house at all, that one is a cemetery, we have been entertained by a ghost, if we don't come out of that house before dawn, I'm afraid we will have to stay with him." ”

The big yellow duck was surprised: "Really? However, we found the hut yesterday afternoon, before the sun went down. I know, there is a saying that ghosts cover their eyes, but it can only be after dark, whether you kid is talking nonsense. ”

Ghost blinding means that the ghost blindfolds a person's eyes, so that people will see many false images, such as seeing the tomb as a house and seeing white bones as a person. In folklore, there are many stories of scholars who travel at night and go to a farmhouse to spend the night, only to wake up the next day and sleep in the cemetery, which is actually a ghost covering his eyes.

Tofu rolled his eyes and said; "Who said there are no ghosts when there is sun? Yesterday's sunset was the time when yin and yang converged, and it belonged to the time of the day when living people and ghosts coexisted, so the wooden house was fake at all. ”

The big yellow duck was quite surprised, and said, "Oh, brother, I can't see it, I thought you could only tell jokes, but I didn't expect to know so much." So how do you tell that we are in the grave? ”

I know in my heart that where Tofu will understand this, it should be the memory of the corpse fairy who is doing the trick, and the fusion of memories has made Tofu know a lot of knowledge that does not belong to him. Tofu was questioned by the big yellow page, and I was speechless for a while, I understood that it was inconvenient for him to tell the truth, so I played a round and said: "Forget it, that wooden house is weird, whether it is a grave or not, I don't want to go back, let's go back to the camp." ”

Without giving everyone a chance to say more, I glanced at Tofu, and the two of them walked to the place where they had camped before.
