The pharmacy in the village is not large, it is funded by the production team, and there is only one elderly doctor in it, who usually only prescribes some cold and fever tablets, or takes small injections to hang glucose, and can not see a slightly older disease.

At this time, in the cramped pharmacy, the female forensic doctor Liu Wei sat in the infusion room of the pharmacy, sitting at the head of the bed with her back to the door.

"Liu Wei?" I called out Liu Wei's name.

Liu Wei turned her face around, and Huzi and I were startled and stepped back.

Yesterday, he still had a youthful and beautiful face, and his eyes were smart, but at this moment he was a little old, and his eyes were tired, like a facial paralysis.

I looked at Liu Wei's waist, and there was half a piece of black obsidian around her waist, which looked like a Pixiu from the carved mold, and there was a small hollow hole in the middle of the obsidian, which was stuffed with a half-burned yellow paper, like a yellow talisman.

It seems that the reason why Liu Wei was able to survive the disaster was because she had something given to her by the masters, otherwise she would definitely die.

"Don't come, don't come." Liu Wei suddenly screamed hysterically without warning, hiding in the corner of the infusion room and constantly scratching and kicking forward.

In the afternoon of the same day, the bodies of the eight deceased people in the delegation were dragged away by ambulances from the county, including Liu Wei, who had gone crazy.

When the ambulance left, I saw a blind man Guo standing in the woods not far away at the door of the production team.

Blind Guo also saw me, but he didn't come, but turned around and left.

Chen Jixian, the leader of the expedition, watched the corpses of his companions being pulled away, and asked in a low tone, "Do you have any cigarettes?" ”

"I have." Huzi opened the pack of cigarettes in his pocket as he spoke, Chen Ji took the whole pack of cigarettes first, and then sat on a pile of stones at the door of the production team and smoked one cigarette after another.

"Chief, aren't we leaving?" The two remaining young players asked.

Chen Jixian wiped out the cigarette in his hand with his fingers, and said in a deep voice: "I have to stay and investigate what is going on in this ghost place, and by the way, bring Xiao Jiangcheng back, if you want to go, you can go first." ”

Jiang Chengcheng is the young man with black-framed glasses in the inspection group, a group of thirteen people, ten people who entered the forbidden land, nine came out, and Jiang Cheng's life and death are unknown.

The two team members glanced at each other, with some fear in their eyes, it was obvious that the forbidden land behind the Futu Ridge was no longer within their existing equipment and capabilities, but in the end they decided to stay.

After eating at noon, Chen Jixian locked himself in the RV for a long time, and I heard him outside as if he was using the phone to contact someone, and then Chen Jixian slept in the car for a while until he was woken up by Liu Quan.

Because the hospital in the county called to say that Liu Wei committed suicide.

Huzi and I went to the county seat with Chen Jixian and them, and in a certain ward of the hospital, Liu Wei was lying on the bed with her eyes wide, her pupils had dilated, as if she had seen something terrible before she died.

There was a strangulation mark on Liu Wei's neck, and the doctor said that after taking an EEG for Liu Wei, someone specially prepared a ward for her, and a special nurse took care of her, but the nurse only went out for a few minutes, and when she came back, she saw Liu Wei hanging herself with a sheet.

Chen Jixian gently closed Liu Wei's eyelids, and he looked at a piece of paper in Liu Wei's clenched right hand.

The fist opened, and only one word was written on the note.

Snake.

Huzi and I both changed color slightly after seeing the snake word, and we suddenly remembered that in the snake Niangniang incident decades ago, the crazy county leader kept repeating the word "snake" in his mouth.

Could it be that there really is a snake lady in the forbidden land of Futu Ridge?

In folklore, fox yellow and white willow gray is the abbreviation of the five folk immortals, fox is fox, yellow is weasel, white is hedgehog, willow is snake, gray is mouse.

There are many people who believe in ghosts and worship demons and mythologize animals, and there is no verification of the belief in hedgehogs and mice, but foxes and weasels have always been things that people fear, and there are many mythological rumors, because these two things are cunning and spiritual, and will retaliate against people. But in the end, the most frightening thing is the snake.

In the snake Niangniang incident in Futuling that year, I didn't know that the woman who gave the migrant workers a dream was Snake Niangniang at the beginning, but it was later because the crazy county leader said a snake word, so some people said that it was Snake Niangniang.

Before the snake lady kills someone, she gives people a dream warning, which is already a great favor for human beings.

Among the many rumors in Futu Ridge, there are also many about snakes. During the Great Leap Forward, a radish could be bigger than an ox cart, and a grain of rice was enough for a family of four to eat for five or six days, so rumors about snakes were also spread more and more exaggerated. Some people say that they have seen a cauliflower snake as thick as a bucket, and their cattle are entangled to death, and some people say that during the Xinhai Revolution, their ancestors saw a dragon snake falling from the sky, which was so big that it was terrifying, and it did not hurt people, but hid in the forbidden land to cultivate.

However, the forbidden land of Futu Ridge has existed for more than a few hundred years, and except for some unrealistic rumors in modern times, no one knows the secrets of the forbidden land.

Our group decided to investigate the surviving leader of the snake Niangniang incident in Futuling.

However, when we inquired about the nursing home where the old leader worked, we learned that the county leader had died of illness two years ago, and he did not explain anything before he died.

Huzi and I watched the originally shrewd and capable Chen Jixian become confused and overwhelmed, and did not persuade us from beginning to end, and in the evening Chen Jixian said that he would stay in a hotel in the county seat, and would not return to Futuling for the time being, and would go over tomorrow during the day, and let his companion drive us back.

We didn't agree, so we went around the county, bought a few clothes and had dinner before renting a car to go back to Futuling.

The villagers of Futuling Shili and Eight Villages were very disgusted by the arrival of this delegation, and no one did not want to know what was in the forbidden land in the mountain behind Futuling, but the people who had been rumored by their ancestors for generations could not get out, and the forbidden land might cause disasters in Futuling.

There are many strange things in the mountains, whether it is haunted or evil, it is also a strange thing, and for people who have lived in the mountains since childhood, a peaceful and stable day is much more important than the truth.

Early the next morning, the only remaining three-person delegation arrived at Futu Ridge as scheduled, accompanied by an old man with gray hair, this old man also looked to be in his fifties, his pupils were a little different from ordinary people's eyes, and they seemed to be covered with a white membrane, which looked a little like cataracts.

Some people in the village did not want to see the inspection team, and even Liu Quan did not want to take care of this matter, and no one wanted to bring the disaster to his village. It was originally a few outsiders, and everyone was not familiar with each other, and they ate at one table the day before, and died on their own territory the next day, and they were a little sick to their stomachs when they thought about it.

Chen Jisei saw that only Huzi and I were waiting to see them, and he introduced us: "This is Mr. Chang, from Guangdong, a master of metaphysics, a friend of mine. ”

"Hello Mr. Chang, my name is Yang Hao, this is my friend Li Hu, and they are all villagers in this village." I stretched out my hand and shook hands with Mr. Chang.

"Both of them are talents, young and promising!" Mr. Chang said politely.

After we chatted with each other for a few minutes, I asked straight to the point, "So, Mr. Chang and Captain Chen are going to enter the forbidden land behind Futu Ridge this time?" ”

Mr. Chang said: "Yes, after listening to Xiao Chen about what happened here, I booked a ticket overnight and rushed here." ”

"Mr. Chang knows about the death incident that happened in the expedition, and he has the confidence to enter the forbidden land and come out alive?" I asked.

Mr. Chang said: "If you are afraid of death, you will not come, I have studied the metaphysics of the I Ching for half a lifetime, and I know a few real masters, but I have always wanted to personally consider the ancient secrets hidden in the mountains and rivers of China, which is also a wish of mine." ”

"Take the liberty of asking Mr. Chang if he knows Taoism?" I asked.

Guangdong is a place where metaphysical scholars gather, ten years of catastrophe when there are many Taoist masters in order to avoid the general trend of the world to hide there to live the life of ordinary people, later the political situation is stable, the times are peaceful, many people of the older generation will be afraid of losing their skills before they die, they will begin to find people to pass on or pass on to their children and grandchildren. But some people are afraid of another disaster, and the real ability is not practiced overnight, for most people, begging for food is more realistic, so only some basic Taoist theories, looking at fortune telling, surveying the name of the house, measuring the eight characters, etc., can still make a living when they are desperate.

Mr. Chang said: "I don't know Taoism, but my brother still knows Taoism?" ”

Huzi said: "There have been a few strange people in our mountains before, all of them have Taoist skills, they all came for the forbidden land of Futu Ridge, and they all returned in the end, there is a man named Lao Xiucai, I don't know if Mr. Chang has heard of it." ”
