Chapter 193: The House of the Dead Body
(Cat flutter Chinese)
"I'm looking for any of them!" Second Brother Zhao and I looked at each other for a moment and said slowly.
"Come with me!" Second Brother Zhao raised his eyelids and glanced at me, then turned around and walked in the direction of the end of the village. Zhaojiatun is not the kind of traditional village, the road in the village is crooked and twisted, and it is an exaggeration to say that there are nine curves and eighteen bends, but it is not far off.
What chills me is that I haven't met anyone along the way. When I arrived in Zhaojiatun, it was just past eight o'clock, and it was understandable that I would not be able to meet anyone, but now it is half past eleven, it stands to reason that this time point is a meal, holding firewood and firewood, and it is a lively time, but the village is quiet and palpitating.
It's November, and in the Northeast, it's already freezing at this time, and it's the stove that burns for rural heating, and the chimney should smoke.
But all over the village, I didn't see a chimney smoking, isn't it cold? After entering the village, I entered two families, one was Zhao's second family, and the other was Lao San's family, and these two families also did not burn stoves.
"It's here!" Second Brother Zhao's slightly indifferent voice pulled my thoughts back, and a wooden door with a large brass lock appeared in front of me.
"This is our village warehouse, and most of the stuff is stored here!" Second Brother Zhao said as he took out a long-handled key and inserted it into the lock, and with a click, the lock opened.
The door of the warehouse was different from the doors of other houses, it was a wooden door painted vermilion, and when I opened the door, a paper figure with a different name and shape appeared in front of me.
"Let's go!" Second Brother Zhao walked in unhurriedly, I followed behind him, and the moment I walked into the door, the hairs on my whole body stood up instantly, and I was targeted.
It's the same feeling as being noticed by the whole class when you come late to class.
"This is the Ergou family, this is the third family, this is the Sansheng family!" Second Brother Zhao introduced which company made the paper figurines as he walked.
Every time I introduced it, I felt a strong sense of being watched.
"This is what I did!" When he came to the front of the main house, Second Brother Zhao pointed to the two paper figures guarding the door, with a look of pride in his eyes.
"Just like a real person!" I compliment, this is not sycophancy, nor is it flattering, but a heartfelt thought.
The two paper figures at the door were about the same height as me, and unlike the other paper figures, the facial expressions of these two paper figures were very rich.
Fear, despair, resentment, all kinds of emotions are perfectly blended on the face, especially those eyes, if it weren't for the fact that there is no reflection of me in them, I would even think that they are real people.
"You can touch it!" Maybe seeing that there was more surprise on my face, Second Brother Zhao stopped and turned back to me.
He and I looked at each other for a while, reaching out and touching the paper figure, the clothes, the arms, and even the bones inside, which were indeed not real people.
Every time I touch it, the emotions conveyed by the paper figure are a little more, which is very real and strong.
"There's a ghost imprisoned inside?" I immediately asked. I can't think of anything else other than that. This warehouse is about the same size as a normal household, and the layout is similar, and it is also a road paved with red bricks, the only difference is that the black earth clearing on both sides is full of all kinds of paper figurines.
I took a cursory glance and there were at least a hundred. If my guess is true, that is, here alone is imprisoned by hundreds of ghosts.
"Huh!" Second Brother Zhao didn't answer directly, but gave me a secretive smile and stepped into the house.
I stared at his back for a long time and followed. Compared with the paper figures outside, the inside of the house are all semi-finished products, and most of them are not people, mainly chariots and horses.
"These are those few who are not human, and they haven't had time to deal with it yet!" Second Brother Zhao walked to the innermost and pointed to a few stiff corpses and said.
There were three corpses in total, one was a mouse, one was a yellow-skinned, and one was a fox, and I squatted down and touched it.
The three corpses were frozen hard, their eyes covered with a layer of ice ballast, and there was still a trace of horror in them.
"That's all?" I asked, looking up.
"That's all!" Second Brother Zhao nodded, with a strange meaning on the corner of his mouth.
"Let's go!" I was silent for a while, got up from the ground, and walked out. Walking on the long road paved with red bricks, under the gaze of paper people, I only have one feeling, like a man's back.
Lao Zhang, the owner of the restaurant, said that within five years, at least 100 people will go missing for no reason, and there will be no dead or dead people, and these paper figures may be the answer.
Instead of missing, they died, and the ghosts were imprisoned inside the paper figures, and what awaited them was unknown.
I can't think of anyone who would use this kind of paper figurine? Leaving this so-called warehouse of Second Brother Zhao, I walked back in silence, constantly recalling the words of the restaurant owner Lao Zhang in my mind.
He said that if he didn't die, he wouldn't die, and even cried because he felt too sorry for those who went missing, I thought he was sincere at first, but now it seems that I'm afraid it's not the same thing.
If it is an ordinary person who is introduced to Second Brother Zhao, I am afraid that the ending will be the same as these paper figures, the yin soul is detained and sealed in the paper figure, as for the corpse, I have already thought of a place, that is, the Yin House.
The yin qi in the yin room is very heavy, and it is the same as Mrs. Wu's room. Mrs. Wu is a yin person, and her own yin qi is heavy, and the source of yin qi in the yin house should be a corpse, a corpse that died in vain.
The name of the Yin House may not be like this, the third child should have hidden a word in the middle, and the Yin House should be called the Yin Corpse House.
Thinking about this, I felt a chill and a feeling of nausea! As soon as I thought of Zhang Mo sleeping on top of a corpse at this time, I couldn't control myself, I just wanted to go faster.
"I probably know where the person you're looking for goes!" A slow voice came from behind me, making my body pause, and I looked back at Second Brother Zhao, who was walking unhurriedly.
"Where?" I asked in a deep voice.
"You'll find out at night!" Second Brother Zhao smiled and said.
"Hmm!" I nodded silently and turned around again, Zhang Mo's guess may be right, the person who saved her really wanted to borrow a knife to kill someone.
The purpose of Second Brother Zhao bringing me to the so-called warehouse is very simple, one is to demonstrate and show some of his strength, and the other is to let me know some of the truth hidden in Zhaojiatun, as for why he did it, it is unknown.
"Haven't figured it out yet?" There was silence all the way, until when he came to the door of the third child's house, he spoke again.
"Figure out what?" I asked, staring back into his eyes.
"From the moment you entered my door, I knew you weren't an ordinary person!" Second Brother Zhao was as calm as ever, and there was no trace of fluctuation in his eyes.
I didn't say anything, waiting for him to continue.
"Actually, you don't have to feel sorry for the death of those ordinary people, they brought it on themselves!" Second Brother Zhao smiled and said
"Isn't there such a saying, if you don't do it, you can't die, what is the place of Yin Ghost Town, those people know very well, it's a ghost town, since they know it's a ghost town, why do they still come to the so-called expedition, since they don't value their own lives, why should I cherish it?" Speaking of this, he paused and said
"They deserve to die, and they can't blame others!" His words verified my guess, the task of the restaurant owner Lao Zhang is to send a steady stream of people to Zhaojiatun to die.
He advised me not to come, and even shed tears for those who were missing, just for a little comfort in my heart.
As he mentioned several times, who can blame him for his own death? For the sake of popularity, for the sake of face, for the sake of fame, the people who come to Zhaojiatun are nothing more than for these three points, and in the end, it is precisely because of these three points that they die well!
"What about me, what do you want to do to me?" I asked, looking up.
"You're different from them!" Second Brother Zhao showed a mouthful of white teeth and smiled, and said
"You have to be clear, you are not an ordinary person, I naturally will not use the same method as an ordinary person to you!"
"Multiple friends and multiple paths, I don't want to make enemies with you, and I don't have absolute certainty of keeping you, so I want to have a good relationship with you!" Second Brother Zhao said with a meaningful smile at me
"We'll be in town tonight to make deliveries, you can come with us, and we might be able to find the person you want to see when the time comes!" After speaking, he pushed open the door of the third family, stepped in, and left me with a deep back.
