The whole courtyard tilted their heads to stare at me, whispering and pointing. There was a tall and thin young man at the door of the mourning hall, looking left and right, and found a firewood knife by the wall, he smiled darkly, walked sideways, grabbed the firewood knife and hid it behind him, and then walked towards me.

A black-faced fat village woman stood by the door of the side room, giggled a few times, turned into the kitchen and hid a kitchen knife behind her, "giggle", she smiled and showed a mouth full of rotten yellow teeth.

"Hey, hey, hey......"

"Giggles......

"Babbling ......"

The villagers stared at me with a strange gaze and muttered to each other.

I felt that the villagers were very unkind and immediately turned around and wanted to leave. With a "snap", the courtyard door was closed.

I saw two seven or eight-year-old girls blocking the door, leaning against the courtyard gate, stubbornly resisting the door and not letting me out. The two girls were unkempt and giggled.

The hunchbacked old man asked coldly, "How old are you?" ”

I found the question boring, and I didn't need to answer it, and said, "I really can't ...... it if I accidentally entered your place."

At this moment, the tall and thin young man suddenly flashed in front of me, raised his firewood knife and his eyes lit up, as if to threaten, "Hey! Raw hair! ”

"Put down the knife!" The hunchbacked old man shouted, pulled the young man to the side and whispered, pointing to the mourning hall, the young man was so excited that he trembled and nodded his head, "Hey, hey, hey, hey......, hey Ahh......h

I subconsciously looked at the hunchbacked old man's fingers, and my scalp suddenly tingled.

"Mourning Hall?!"

"What do you want to do?"

The funeral and mourning hall are the most cloudy and emotionally depressed in people's hearts.

The mourning hall is surrounded by mourning cloths, and the black and white mourning scarves and soul flags float strangely with the seeping cool breeze. The mourning hall was dark, and the faint candlelight flickered. A black coffin is placed in the middle, the coffin lid is open with a black slit, and there is a red-clothed bamboo frame paper figure standing next to it.

Everything is immersed in a gloomy eerie.

The cold raindrops poured down, the sky was much darker, and the wind was howling in the depths of the black forest, and it was melancholy.

Just when I was worried, there was a "snap", the courtyard door was slammed open, and five strangely dressed people entered, the leader was an old lady, wearing a black robe and walking with a cane, her face was full of wrinkles, and a pair of turbid and yellow eyes in the deep sunken eye holes emitted a strange cold light, and there were no teeth in the mouth that seemed to be smiling, one by one. The other four attendants were also dressed in black robes and wrapped in black scarves on their heads.

The courtyard suddenly fell silent, and the villagers knelt down together, shaking their heads and chanting incantations that they couldn't understand, "Lu... Banbo, poop bite... Rash... Rash... Bang Polu Romi ......".

The old lady in the black robe leaned over, staring at me with squinted eyes, and said in a weird manner, "Duh, you ...... it."

"Huh? What's going on......

The hunchbacked old man respectfully knelt down and climbed up to the old lady, "Holy Banbo... He was a stranger, and he was my daughter's burial companion. The old man pointed to the mourning hall, "The child died a miserable death, and he was lonely, so this stranger was buried alive as a slave for the child, and the two had a companion in the underworld." ”

The old lady instructed four attendants to enter the mourning hall and carry the coffin out, and the kneeling villagers in the courtyard immediately leaned aside to make way for a vacant space.

"Answer: Demon Banbo... Lu ...... "The hunchbacked old man closed his eyes and prayed.

"It's like a weird religious ritual!"

After the coffin was lifted, the old lady circled around the coffin, shaking her head and chanting a mantra, "Lu... Bang Po Lu Mi Rat, Mo Ga, Mo Ga! He stopped, knocked on the lid of the coffin with his cane, and sang in a strange voice, "The ghost is not blind, the black cat is called the night......"

I saw the old lady dancing again, her eyes rolling, and she continued to sing: "The resentment is heavy, the picture is a spotted corpse, and it eats people... You can't get up, you can't close your eyes when you're dead, you can't feed ...... when you get up."

The four black-clothed attendants began to twist their bodies and dance a strange dance, "You can't eat people, you can't get up...... Don't be blind and resentful, accompany you with a baby, Banbo... Rash...... Yin marriage live meat people, do cows and horses hey......"

"Hey, hey......" The lame nodded nervously, and the villagers began to dance, "Banbo!" Bambo! Bambo! ”

"Giggles...... black-faced fat village woman, holding her stomach and laughing.

"Secret marriage! Secret Marriage! Secret Marriage! The villagers laughed and agreed.

"Yin marriage is good for your soul, don't come out to eat people...... The ghost is not blind, and the black cat is called Yezi......"

"Giggle ......"

"Hey, hey, hey, hey......"

At this moment, the coffin vibrated and "chirp, chirp ......", and a strange sound came out of the black cracks that opened in the water, and the strange sound was like the scraping sound of long fingernails scratching wood.

"The black cat is called Yako!" The old lady suddenly raised her crutches and slammed the coffin lid fiercely, and continued to sing in a hoarse voice: "The resentment is so fierce, the black cat bites you to death!" Don't get up in the middle of the night to eat people......"

"Bambo! Lu ......: "The villagers kowtowed.

I took the opportunity to slip away......

The customs here are so weird that I sweated.

I hurried to get a horse out of here.

The villagers around me stared at me with strange eyes, leaving me at a loss.

"Raw hair, cluck." A couple of ragged children stared at me maliciously, "hairy, clucking......"

You can't steal horses during the day, so it's better to wait until the dead of night.

I walked quickly towards the deserted courtyard.

I was exhausted from the rush for several days, so I went back to the unmanned courtyard to rest for a while, and then moved in the evening.

As I walked all the way, I felt uncomfortable, and I always felt that there were thousands of pairs of cold and strange eyes staring at me all around, which drove me crazy.

I quickened my pace, nervous, and turned back as I walked, only to see the villagers behind me pointing at me one after another, and a few men from Niujiazhuang glancing at me viciously.

Near the entrance of the village, an old man with white hair sat on a tree stump reading a book, with a bowl beside him. It seems that this old man is a man of culture, unlike those barbaric and rude villagers.

I seemed to have encountered a lonely lamp in the dark night, so I hurriedly stepped forward to salute the old man, "Old man, may I ask the way out of the village......

Before he could finish speaking, the old man threw away the book and suddenly shouted excitedly, "Raw hair! Hey! Raw hair!! ”

This sudden change startled me, and I couldn't help but retreat again and again.

The old man danced and ran all the way, "Hey, hey, hey! Raw hair! ”

The villagers rushed to tell each other, "Scratch and scratch hair!" ”

It seems that all ages and ages here are very unfriendly. I picked up the old man's discarded book, a fashion magazine, which was clearly out of place in the secluded wilderness. It seems that someone has been here, or there must be a road leading to the township or county seat in Mawanggou, and it is also possible that the villagers brought this book back from the market.

The magazine had been cut beyond recognition, and the people on the screen had been shredded and put in bowls. There were a few black centipedes in that bowl. There is also a decoupage on the stump, on which is a centipede drawn by the old man, laying eggs, and the end of the centipede tail is a cut human head.

When the panic was unsettled, I saw the surrounding villagers surrounding, their eyes cold and strange.

A couple of men came over with a strange smile and walked over with bloody scythes and hidden behind them, and next to them were two girls of eight or nine years old, who picked up stones from the ground and slammed them at me, and I dodged sideways.

The two girls happily crouched down again to pick up the stones.

"What are you going to do? I'm just a lost hunter in a foreign country, and I have entered your land by mistake, if there is anything that offends everyone, please bear with me. Please don't force each other......"

Before I could finish my sentence, the villagers looked at each other and burst into laughter.

After laughing weirdly, their eyes became sharp, and they shook their heads and muttered, "Hey, live cubs, hey, hey, ......."

The black cat gnaws at the dead, and I can't get up..."

"Bambo... Lu".

The crowd slowly leaned over, and several men pulled out scythes from behind.

"Hey!! Bang Bono Boom !!Boom T The hunchbacked old man roared twice, and the villagers were so frightened that they knelt down one after another.

I saw the black-robed old lady leading four entourages out, followed by dozens of people, each with a red lantern, and the last four people carrying the black lacquer coffin.

"Bambo... Rash! The villagers began to kowtow.

The old lady in the black robe trembled nervously, like a big god chanting incantations that people seemed to understand, she squinted at me, the cloudy eyes hid weirdness and viciousness, she smiled evilly, and continued to chatter, "Raw cub meat strips, raw coffin with yin corpse, hey scrape a black cat called Yezi, die and die, feed it up......"

The old lady led a large group of people to the direction of the mountains.

The villagers went home one after another and took out blood-red lanterns, and staggered behind, "That Ten Thousand Souls Cave in Yinshan, the red lantern leads you to ...... soul."

"People here are superstitious and weird." I noticed their strange religious rituals, "Is it ancient Tibetanism?" ”

I looked at the villagers who had gone away and thought, "It seems that today is a very important religious day in their customs. ”

The old lady walks extremely strangely, leaning on her body, with her left hand and left foot, raising her paws and shrugging and jumping every three steps, like a zombie in a movie. The villagers in the front team imitated the old lady's appearance, jumping in three steps, while the people behind hung their heads and stretched out their hands on the shoulders of the previous person, like a group of blind people walking forward on their shoulders, connecting a long column.

In the deep forest in the distance, the mist gradually engulfed the villagers, and only a line of red lanterns could be faintly seen, swaying like ghost fire in the gray mist. Weird, spooky, chilling......

I went to the small courtyard where I was dejected, and went listlessly into the back room, and sat down against the wall, the mud and cold in the dark and damp room.

Irresistible sleepiness ate away at my spirit and consciousness.

"Squeak", the door opened a crack.

"Who?" I jumped to my feet.

"Big Brother ......"

It turned out to be a girl.

"Girl? Have you been following me? ”

"Big brother, for you." The girl took out a chain of blue stones.

"My brother doesn't need any ornaments. Keep it for yourself. ”

The girl shook her head and said, "Big brother, they won't bully you if you wear this." ”

"Oh?" I took the chain and was a little strange, "Thank you, sister." ”

The girl took out three steamed buns and a few raw corn from the package, "Brother, I'm afraid you will be hungry at night." ”

"Thank you, girl." I was filled with emotion, and my heart was very uncomfortable.

"Brother, it's cold at night here. There are dry straw stacks outside the back wall of my house. The girl said childishly.

"Thank you, girl. By the way, the people in your village seem to hate outsiders? ”
