Volume 6 I Want to Become a Demon and Kill the World_Chapter 174 Seven Skulls
It's after twelve o'clock in the morning.
The whole village was shrouded in a dead silence, with a slanting moon in the sky, shining with a cool light, and the surrounding peaks seemed to be stacked on top of each other, wrapping the whole village in the middle, and the whole village was wrapped in an airtight wind. Even though there was a moon, the whole village was still dark, there was not a hint of wind, and there was a strange smell in the air.
I followed Zhang Qianqian and walked towards the mountain at the west end of the village.
Zhang Qianqian still retains her skills, and she walks naturally very fast, even on this kind of mountain path, she walks very fast, very urgently, as if she is in a hurry to do something. I didn't dare to be too slow, for fear that Zhang Qianqian would leave me behind me and disappear with a turn or something.
Fortunately, I was born and raised in this village, and I have been running around this village since I was a child, and the paths, mountains, and everything around the village are as familiar as the lines on my palm.
So, after walking for a while, I quickly deduced that Zhang Qianqian was going to the mass grave on the halfway slope of Xihou Mountain—because the road she was taking now only led to that place.
In rural areas, there are naturally very few unknown people who die and have nowhere to bury, as long as the people in the village die normally, they will generally be buried in their ancestral graves.
However, people in the countryside are superstitious, and they are very particular, if there are madmen, fools, and children who have died in their families, they will generally not be buried in the ancestral graves, for fear that they will endanger the shadow of their ancestors, and then pass on this misfortune and disaster to the next generation. Such people will find a special time after they die, find a place in the mass grave, bury them hastily, and only burn the paper during the Qingming Festival, for fear that they will become starving ghosts.
The people in the village are particularly taboo about mass graves, so they will naturally choose the farthest and most remote place from the village. Moreover, this mass grave was still the feng shui shown by my grandfather back then, saying that there is a dragon evil in this place, and even if a person who died in vain is buried here, he will not be a monster.
However, in the middle of the night, what did Zhang Qianqian do in the mass grave?
The road in the mountains is not easy to walk, and the road to the mass grave can no longer be called a road, there is grass everywhere at any time, and after I have a deep foot and a shallow heel for a while, the injured foot is almost painful and can hardly be lifted.
Fortunately, I was familiar with the environment of the village, and after confirming that Zhang Qianqian was going to the mass grave, my nervous tension just now relaxed a little, but I still hurried behind Zhang Qianqian, for fear of missing what she was going to do.
After walking like this for about half an hour, Zhang Qianqian suddenly stopped, and then turned her head to look behind her.
My heart pounded, thinking that Zhang Qianqian found out that I was following behind me, and squatted down with a conditioned reflex, and my heart thumped nervously.
Squatting down for a while, there was no footsteps in front of me, and I realized that Zhang Qianqian didn't find me just now, but just habitually turned her head to look back, I was too nervous.
After understanding this, I tentatively straightened up again and looked ahead, and at first glance, I suddenly found that Zhang Qianqian's figure in front of me had disappeared!
"it!" Even if I followed Zhang Qianqian to the mass grave, I had made all kinds of preparations in my heart, but I couldn't help but blurt out a curse when I didn't see Zhang Qianqian at a glance.
I had just finished scolding when I heard a strange and regular sound coming from in front of me, "Click, click, click......"
The whole mountain was quiet, so quiet that there was not a hint of wind, and there was a sound of insects, so the sound was unusually clear.
After hearing this sound, I tentatively took a few steps forward, and then stood on tiptoe and looked up, only to see a pouting ass, and I couldn't see her body...... I let out a long sigh of relief - the grass on this mountain is very dense, and Zhang Qianqian bent down again, so I didn't see her at a glance just now, it wasn't that she disappeared out of thin air.
It's just, what is she doing now?
Now that I am close enough to Zhang Qianqian, I am afraid that Zhang Qianqian will find me, so I dare not step forward again, so I can only hold my breath and stare at Zhang Qianqian's figure closely, wanting to see what she is going to do.
After looking at it for a while, Zhang Qianqian may have been tired, slowly propped herself up, and habitually glanced back. I was already nervous, and when I saw her turn her head back, I quickly crouched down again, my eyes still fixed on her.
In her hand, she was holding something, round ......
I just said a few words in my heart, and my head was already buzzing: Zhang Qianqian has been digging for so long and holding such a round thing, what is that thing not a skull head!
"Damn, in the middle of the night, what is she doing in the mass grave digging this!" My scalp is numb, and I always feel like something is blowing behind me, and I only drill my neck coldly.
While Zhang Qianqian was squatting down to dig again, I subconsciously looked back behind me, there was nothing behind me, there were dark shadows everywhere, nothing!
If I had been skilled before, I would naturally not be afraid, but now I am not as good as an ordinary person, so I am naturally nervous and cautious everywhere, for fear that I will accidentally fall into Zhang Qianqian's trap.
In the following time, Zhang Qianqian almost kept digging skulls, I secretly calculated, she dug a total of seven, and then strung them with ropes, carried them in her hands, and walked quickly down the mountain - Zhang Qianqian came to the mass grave in the middle of the night, actually to dig up skulls!
I cautiously squatted in the grass until Zhang Qianqian was far away before I dared to stand up and walk after her towards the village.
The village was still lifeless, and there was not the slightest movement.
In other words, the whole village is still in a state of "death" and has not "lived".
Zhang Qianqian walked very quickly, carrying the string of skulls in her hand, which looked extremely eerie in the dark.
It's good to say in the mountains, there are slopes and grass, which are easy to hide, but as soon as I enter the open area of the village, I don't dare to follow too closely, so it is easy to be discovered by Zhang Qianqian. What's more, the Zhang family lives in the west of the village, and she must be going home.
Her house is next to a dirt slope, and the grass on that dirt slope is very dense, Zhang Qianqian went to get such seven skulls in the middle of the night, she must have done something, as long as I hid in the dirt slope, maybe I could find out what she was going to do.
However, I guessed wrong.
Zhang Qianqian didn't go home, but walked towards the east of the village!
What is she doing here? Why don't you go home and head east of the village? Could it be that she is going to the entrance of the village?
Countless questions flashed through my mind, and I felt a wave of excitement in my heart.
I woke up in the village for a few days, and I only discovered the abnormality of the village yesterday, and I will marry Zhang Qianqian tomorrow, if Zhang Qianqian starts acting tonight, it is very likely to be related to the marriage tomorrow. As long as Zhang Qianqian can't hold her breath, I have a chance to find a breakthrough!
After thinking of this, I immediately quickened my pace, trying to rely on the cover of the roadside house to speed up the speed of following Zhang Qianqian.
In this way, I followed Zhang Qianqian all the way to the center of the village, and Zhang Qianqian suddenly turned a corner and turned to the door of a house.
At first, I didn't react, but instinctively resisted the sequelae of alcohol, and my eyes were fixed on Zhang Qianqian, observing her every move.
But at the moment when Zhang Qianqian sneakily pushed open the door and quickly flashed in, I suddenly reacted: Fuck, the house Zhang Qianqian went to is fucking my house!
After seeing Zhang Qianqian flash into my house, a burst of anger rose in my heart, in the middle of the night, Zhang Qianqian carried a string of skulls into my house, what did she want to do!
After the anger, I quickly thought of one thing: what would Zhang Qianqian do if she came to my house and found that I was not at home? Will she do anything to me?
After this idea arose, I was immediately anxious, anxious to turn around in place, how can I make Zhang Qianqian not find out that I am not at home?
But Zhang Qianqian has now entered my door, and no matter how I get in, she can find that I am not at home. As long as she finds out that I'm not at home, she can find out that I know something unusual about the village, and she may do something to me!
Damn, what should I do?
Just when I was anxious, I heard a "squeak" sound on the door, and I quickly looked up to see that Zhang Qianqian's body suddenly flashed out of my house again, still holding a skull in her hand!
When it was over, she must have found that I was not at home as soon as she arrived at my house...... No, she dug up seven skulls in the mass grave, strung them together with ropes, and dressed them in a long string, almost half as tall as Zhang Qianqian, and she kept raising her arms high when she came back to carry them. But now, her hand was low.
That only shows that she is carrying fewer skulls in her hands!
She had just entered my house, and then there were fewer skulls in her hands, and if you thought about it, you could understand where the skulls in her hands had gone.
Damn, she dug up skulls in the middle of the night, just to send them to my house?
Just after I secretly cursed, Zhang Qianqian did something that made me unbelievable.
