Volume 2 Tuoshi Ridge_Chapter 7 The Man in the Tree
In the night of the black hole, the green eyes are particularly conspicuous.
I shuddered in fright, turned around and grabbed the arm of the trendy man next to me, and exclaimed in a low voice, "Something! ”
I grabbed my arm suddenly, and the trendy man also shook obviously, obviously startled by my sudden movement, and then reacted quickly and looked in the direction I was pointing, "Where?" What is it? ”
I was about to point out the specific place to him, but I looked back and forth for a moment, but I couldn't find anything!
Those green eyes...... It's gone!
The cold man and Wu Dahan also paused and turned their heads to look at us, the cold man is okay, Wu Dahan is more scared than me, and he can't speak even if his lips are shaking, "What, what?" ”
I looked around, my heart was still beating, Wu Dahan asked, I swallowed a mouthful of saliva before answering him, and my voice was unconsciously low, "I don't know, I only saw a pair of green eyes......"
Before I finished my words, Wu Dahan's body shook suddenly, his feet slipped out, and he sat on the ground with his buttocks, muttering a few words in his mouth, "Night Charmer, Night Charmer, Night Charm Lang appeared, Night Charm Lang appeared, it will take our lives, it will take our lives......"
Wu Dahan's appearance of slipping and falling down is really funny, if this is put on hold, the trendy man will definitely not be able to stop laughing a long time ago, but now no one thinks he is funny, just staring at his face tightly and watching him muttered a few words like he didn't search for control, the three words "Night Charm Lang" are like a hammer, hitting the hearts of the three of us hard, so that we can't help but glance at each other, and a heart suddenly pulls up - according to Wu Dahan's meaning, those green eyes are the eyes of Night Charm Lang?
I unconsciously glanced around again, and it was still black, with nothing, and no green eyes. The kerosene lamp was now carried by a cold man, and the light emitted was very dim, but it could reflect the solemn faces of several of us and Wu Dahan's terrified eyes.
Because of the sudden appearance of green eyes, several of us stood still for a long time, looking around vigilantly, for fear that something would suddenly burst out of the darkness and kill us for no apparent reason. But after waiting for a long time, there was nothing around except the dark night and the dense and flourishing locust trees!
"The trail is gone." Several people stood vigilantly for a long time, and the cold man suddenly spoke.
We were pulled back to our senses by his words, and quickly looked towards the ground, but no, the places we passed by just now were lush mountain roads with wild grasses, so as long as we dragged the grass to the place, the grass would be pressed and leave traces, but after arriving at this abandoned corpse rock, the slopes of this mountain were full of locust trees, and there was bare soil everywhere under the trees, and weeds did not grow!
If it weren't for the cold man saying that there was no trace, we wouldn't have noticed this anomaly until now!
"Angkor, how did this abandoned corpse rock come about?" Looking at the grass under my feet, I just felt strange, we had been standing on this mountain for a long time, except for the locust trees all over the mountain, I didn't see any rocks or anything like that, so I wondered why this place was called the Abandoned Corpse Rock, not the Abandoned Corpse Slope or the Abandoned Corpse Forest or something like that.
Wu Dahan was frightened just now, but now that he has stopped for so long, he has gradually come back to his senses, and when he saw me ask him, he said: "This was originally a stone mountain, and there were rock slabs the size of a house everywhere, and the village used to build houses and build walls or something, and there were people who came here to quarry stones or something, this place is not as gloomy and terrible as it is now." It is not called the abandoned corpse rock, but the south stone slope. It's called the Abandoned Corpse Rock, and it started a long time ago...... About 30 years ago, when I was still a teenager, but I have already begun to remember, I remember that there was a girl in our village, who was very good-looking, and suddenly disappeared the day before she got married. ”
We were all attracted by Wu Dahan's story, Du Baba waited for him to continue, he paused slightly, and the trendy man immediately urged him, "Brother Ang, you go on, did you find it?" ”
Wu Dahan shook his head, and his face began to show horror, "Until the fifth day of the girl's disappearance, a family came here to mine stones, and the guy who mined the stones didn't even take anything and ran back to the village, saying that the girl was in this abandoned corpse rock, no, it was in this Nanshipo, but she didn't look very good, so her parents quickly went to recognize it." His parents were because their daughter was missing, and they also delayed a good family business, so the two of them were sick and were lying on the bed, and when they heard that their daughter had been found, the two of them ran down from the kang and ran to Nanshipo, and they didn't even bother to wear shoes. I was a kid at the time, and I liked it the most, and I went wherever there was excitement, so I followed it to see the excitement...... Alas, I really regret that I came that day, what I saw that day was horrible......"
The incident happened more than thirty years ago, but now Wu Dahan still looked frightened when he mentioned it, obviously how much the scene he saw at that time affected him.
"When I rushed over to look, there were already a lot of people watching, but they were all ...... I couldn't say anything, so I was curious, and immediately squeezed in to take a look, but at this glance, I was also stunned. This time, without waiting for us to urge, Wu Dahan continued to say, "That girl is lying on a huge stone slab, her whole body is complete, and she even has a smile on her face, just ......"
He frowned tightly, as if wondering what words would be the best word. After thinking for a long time, he continued, "It's just her, there is only a pair of skins left, and the inside is empty, and it has all been taken out." What's even stranger is that there is not a single wound on the girl's body, but there is nothing in it, you have all seen the clothes, she was hanging on the slate like clothes. ”
We were all stunned.
A chill came from the soles of my feet little by little.
Wu Dahan didn't seem to vomit or be unhappy, and hurriedly said, "This is just the beginning, and then every once in a while, a girl in her twenties will disappear in the village, and then appear on this stone slab like the first girl, from the outside it looks like usual, but the inside has been hollowed out, and there is no wound on the whole body." Later, a Taoist priest came to the village, saying that this stone slab was too huge, blocking the evil and yin qi of the mountain range, which caused this strange thing to happen in the village all the time, so the village immediately found someone to raise those stone slabs, and then according to the Taoist priest's idea, the hillside was planted with locust trees......"
We listened to the whole body cold, but we were very sensitive to the word "Taoist" in Wu Dahan's words.
"That Taoist priest, is he a crazy and tattered madman?" The trendy man immediately took Wu Dahan's words and asked tentatively.
Wu Dahan suddenly looked up at him, looking curious, "Have you also seen that Taoist priest?" That's right, he was indeed a little crazy, but the village was scared at that time, who dared not listen? ”
We glanced at each other, and we both saw joy in each other's eyes, and I immediately asked again, "Then what about later, where did that Taoist priest go, and did this happen again in the village?" ”
In fact, we were more concerned about where the mad Taoist was, but we couldn't ask too obviously, so we asked about the whereabouts of the mad Taoist by asking about the things in the village.
After I asked, Wu Dahan took a sip hatefully, "Fuck, this Taoist priest is really not a thing, he also received a lot of good things from our village at that time, and after the rocks were raised, there was no more such thing as the eldest girl being taken out." The village also stopped for four or five years, but then there were cats and dogs in the village that continued to disappear, and gradually children began to disappear, and then there were big girls and little daughters-in-law...... When they found out, they were all in this abandoned corpse rock, and each one of them was hung from the locust tree, just like drying bacon......"
As soon as he finished speaking, there was a gust of wind, which blew the branches and rattled, and we couldn't help but look towards the high trunk of the tree, and after just one look, we saw a person hanging on a locust tree not far away!
I suddenly looked up and saw that my legs were so frightened that I could only point to the people on the locust tree to let them see, and my mouth was speechless!
Several people looked at the locust tree together, and Wu Dahan screamed even more and quickly hid behind us.
A few of us didn't have time to pay attention to him, just stared at the man who was swaying in the wind on the trunk. This person was hung by something around his neck, just hanging on a locust tree three or four meters away from us, when the wind blew the locust tree, this person's body also swayed, looking very weird.
My scalp tingled and I whispered, "Did you notice someone in the tree when you came?" ”
When I asked this sentence, I tried to recall it, but after thinking about it, I only remembered that all my attention was on the ground, and I didn't think to look up to see if there would be anything on the locust tree, so I could only ask the cold man and the trendy man.
The trendy man stared straight at his body that kept swaying in the wind, and slowly shook his head, "I just looked, and there is nothing on the surrounding trees at all!" ”
I was stunned.
If there wasn't anything on the locust tree around us just now, who hung it in such a short period of time? The place where this man was hung was about two meters above the ground, and who had the power to hang a man from a tree without us noticing?
"You say, then, the man on the tree, could it be, my father?" Wu Dahan hid behind us and watched for a long time, and finally stammered and asked such a sentence.
We all trembled.
The cold man whispered, "You all wait here, I'll take a look." ”
With that, he walked towards the locust tree where a man was hanging.
Looking at his back, my heart unconsciously hung up, and when I unintentionally turned my head to look, the yoyo in the arms of the trendy man opened his eyes at some point, and he was staring at the person on the locust tree.
