When I raised my head and hurriedly looked in the direction of the screaming sound, I found that An Lan was trembling and staring ahead, as if he saw something strange and terrifying in his eyes.

At this time, it was already dark, and in the twilight, An Lan was more than a hundred meters away from me, and I couldn't see anyone around An Lan, and I couldn't figure out for a while, what did he see in his eyes?

After An Lan screamed, he ignored me and walked straight towards the bushes and barren mountains deep in the grave with a shaky and expressionless face.

"Anlan, what are you doing? Come back soon! I was taken aback by the scene in front of me, and I desperately shouted for An Lan, and ran over quickly, following behind An Lan.

Because I was in too much of a hurry to catch up with An Lan, I didn't even have time to carry my father's urn in my hand.

I followed An Lan and chased after him quickly, and although my hearing was sharp, I couldn't hear anything strange except for the footsteps of the two of us and a few insect chirps.

I could only see that An Lan seemed to be walking forward with the black mist of a mountain stream, and he ignored no matter how I called him.

The horror made me feel as cold as falling into an ice cellar, and I was not so frightened when I thought back to Qiao Yu that night when he overtook the wronged soul in the barren mountain.

It was very dark, and the road under his feet was not easy to walk, but the strange thing was that An Lan walked quickly towards the mountain forest behind the grave as if he had been enchanted by something.

The place where Anlan went was a place I was afraid to go to when I was a child.

Our village is located in a mountain col, surrounded by mountains, and the terrain is very flat, but if you walk a little further in the direction of the grave, you will come to the barren mountains to the west of the village.

Ordinary old people will always teach their children not to go to that place to play, first, it is closer to the cemetery, and the yin qi is heavier, and secondly, there have been people who died in the mountains for no reason, and the case has never been solved.

More than ten years ago, there was a girl in the village who looked like a flower, and that girl was a well-known beautiful girl in our village.

However, this girl has drunk foreign ink for several years, and she doesn't look down on matchmakers.

She seems to have a wishful husband in her heart, so she ignores those ordinary people from all over the country.

However, one day, a distant relative of her family suddenly came to her and introduced her to a family business, the man was Wang Lao Wu in the county, who was almost hot, but because of speculation in the past few years, he raised rabbits and dug gold mines to earn a lot of silver.

The girl didn't fancy this family business, but the distant relative, with her incorruptible tongue, would rather persuade her poor and frightened father and mother to force her own girl to marry the nouveau riche.

The girl didn't agree, so she cried and made trouble at home and hanged herself, but it was useless to resist, because her second elder had already secretly accepted the man's high dowry.

Because the man was very shrewd, when he saw the photo of the girl that the matchmaker brought back, she looked like the fairy in the painting, and he immediately became obsessed with this girl.

The man had also secretly driven to visit the girl privately, and when he saw with his own eyes that the beauty in front of him was graceful, concave and convex, with a hot body, fair skin, and a beautiful face, he wanted to marry her home immediately.

A man has money, and money can make ghosts grind, so in order to get this beautiful girl, he will naturally do whatever it takes.

In this way, when the girl was confused and did not agree, she was married, and made an appointment to let the man marry her on a good day in the lunar month.

In order to refuse this family business, the girl used all kinds of tricks, but unfortunately her parents had fallen into the eyes of money, and they had to force her to marry that man no matter what.

In the end, the girl saw that her blind crying did not work, and that it would only lead her parents to lock her firmly in the house, so she came up with a plan. She pretended to obey her parents, and promised that she had agreed to the family affair and would marry the ugly man as scheduled.

Accompanied by her family, she pretended to go to the county seat to buy dowries and wedding dresses happily, but she secretly sent a letter to the person she liked.

At that time, few people in the countryside used mobile phones, and I didn't know what clever tricks the girl used to get in touch with her sweetheart.

In short, the two people who contacted agreed to take advantage of the fact that their families were not paying attention at night, and the two eloped together, flew away, and went elsewhere to make a living.

The girl made an appointment with her sweetheart for a date and a time.

On that appointed night, the girl packed the package and slipped away from the house while her parents were asleep.

The place where she came at that time should be the intersection where An Lan and I first got off the station.

It was winter, there was a lot of fog, and the girl who came out to look for her boyfriend was shivering in the cold wind, she waited left and right, and she didn't see her boyfriend come out, and she was very disappointed.

Later, the girl who went out to escape this night disappeared magically, and the next day, after being searched by the people of the village, she was searched for all over the mountains and fields, and finally found her body in the barren mountains to the west.

It's just that the girl who was found had been dead for a long time, and her clothes had been torn to the point that only a few strands of cloth remained, and she was covered in scars and her eyes were wide open, as if she had suffered a great deal of torture before she died.

After the tragedy, there was a great sensation in our simple village, and everyone could not believe that such a big girl like a flower and jade had changed from a big living person to a hideous-looking female corpse covered in blue spots overnight.

The parents of the girl who received the deposit originally hoped to marry their daughter as a cash cow early, but they did not expect that at a critical time, their daughter unfortunately died, and in the end, they were both distressed and regretful.

After the incident, the girl's family gathered around their daughter's body and wept bitterly, and the cry spread far away.

I remember that when this tragedy happened, I was just a third-grader who didn't know anything about it.

At that time, after the morning school in the morning, I jumped up and down with my friends, happily rushing from the ridge to the direction of home, and heard the heart-rending cry echoing in the mountains and fields from afar, watching people from far and near within a radius of several miles hurriedly rushing towards the place of the crime, and we also followed the adults towards the barren mountain.

The girl had been found in a place called Dogtooth Cave in the middle of the barren mountains.

At this time, her body had been transferred by her family in a daze.

I squeezed in through the cracks in the people to check, and I was shocked to find that the sister next door who was once so young and beautiful has become hideous and terrifying at the moment.

Her handsome face was covered in bruising and scars, and her face was bloodstained and blurred with flesh, as if someone had smashed it with a stone.

The adults of the village talked to each other in a cry: "This child died a terrible death, and at first glance he was ruined by the bad people, and he was killed and killed."

It's just that this kid stays at home and sleeps at night, how could the corpse run into that dog's tooth hole?

The tragedy happened, and no one knows what happened last night?

Some experienced people who worked outside the home persuaded the girl's family to call the police.

When the police arrived, they examined the body and confirmed that the girl had been raped and then stoned to death on the spot. The police also found no clues.

They didn't find much useful from the scene of the crime.

In the end, the police found a short letter from the girl's package left at the scene, which told the girl to sneak out that night and her boyfriend came to pick her up and elope.

When the police had the letter, they quickly found out that the letter had been sent from a village more than 10 miles away from our mountain village.

It turned out that the person who sent the letter was none other than the boyfriend of the girl in the village, and the two of them had studied junior high school together at a school in a neighboring village, and the two fell in love.

The boy's family is also very poor, so naturally he is not embarrassed to come to the woman's house early to propose marriage, so he was taken by other people's families.

When the police took the letter and found him, he knew that the girl he liked had died tragically, he regretted it, wept bitterly, and defended that he did not go as promised that night, because he thought about it, he felt that he was incapacitated, and he could not give the girl a good future, and he was afraid that he would elope with the girl to a distant place, and he still couldn't support her, so he cowardly temporarily retreated.

But no matter how he defends himself, who will believe his words.

It happened that the police also found some gold and silver items used by the girl in his home, and they concluded that this man was the real murderer of the girl.

The woman's family, who didn't know the truth, led the villagers to surround the man's family and force them to hand over the sinner.

For this reason, there was almost a fight between two mountain villages far apart, and finally the police arrived, fired warning shots, and mediated a collective brawl between the two villages.

The girl's boyfriend was arrested by the police, and the police tortured him to extract a confession, and in the end, somehow, the boy actually admitted that he killed the girl himself, in order to rob the girl of the gold and silver dowry.

At that time, it was time to crack down, so in the spring of the following year, after a public trial was held in the county, the boy was dragged out and shot.

It's just weird that after shooting this man, the village is not very peaceful.

There are always people who come home late, and at night they will encounter female ghosts in white clothes, or tourists who come here for sightseeing, and they will always disappear inexplicably.

Once, a foreign expedition team passed by our village, and three of the team members actually developed high fever and talked nonsense.

I heard that the empty house where they stayed was once inhabited by the innocent girl who died tragically.

After this strange thing happened, the members of the expedition team fled in a hurry, and the haunted house in the village was deserted again.

The girl's parents died prematurely because of excessive worry.

At this moment, I was naturally terrified to see An Lan running alone towards the places where men, women, and children in our village were taboo to go.
