Who will be hiding in the mountains at night to observe us, and what is the purpose of the yellow charm left for us? From the hexagonal king mirror in the abandoned mine cave of Goose Mountain to the lizard-faced corpse in the immortal sand sea, every step we took was like a chess piece at the mercy of others, and I vaguely felt that this expedition to the ancient civilization of Pilo in Inner Mongolia hid a more important and terrible secret than the unknown civilization.

Since this sudden appearance of unknown visitors did not know whether they were friends or foes, we had to take turns to stand guard and fight guerrillas, and each person rested for an hour before being replaced. Seeing that Xiaowan slept sweetly and couldn't bear to wake her up, I decided to keep watch all night, but when the tiger also took a nap, I stood by the window and fell asleep unconsciously, and when I woke up suddenly, the sky was already glowing with white light.

"Qiangzi and Chen Laogou don't know how to find some people to come to the mountains to look for us, they don't know where they went to last night to mix and drink." I had a dream that I was drinking with the two of them, and I woke up with a sip and was a little annoyed.

Seeing that Xiaowan was still asleep, I decided to go out to smoke a cigarette to refresh myself, and as soon as I opened the door, my hairs stood up: not only on the door, but also on the outer wall of the wooden house, there were branches that were exactly the same as those I took off yesterday, with yellow charms!

I gasped, but fortunately this man was not hostile, otherwise he would not have known that he had been killed in his sleep last night, and it seemed that this mysterious man was not deliberately trying to scare us or have the intention of confrontation, he was helping us, for some special reason to help us get through this difficult time.

When Xiaowan woke up, I told her what happened, first admitting that I was guilty of dereliction of duty, in fact, I discussed with her not to go down the mountain for the time being, set up a plan to lure out the mysterious person, and find out the reason, Xiaowan was also refreshing, and readily agreed after listening to my words, but she was a little unhappy for the turn of standing guard last night without discussion, I knew that she was afraid that I would not be able to stand it and be physically unbearable.

According to the plan, I took down these branches with yellow charms and threw them into the house, if this mysterious person was still watching us, he would continue to come and put them on when he saw the things disappear, and then I hid in the nearby treetops and a praying mantis cicada catcher and yellow finch behind, and found out.

From the time the sun first appeared to the time when the sun shone directly into the forest, most of the day passed without seeing half of the people in the vicinity, not even the strong sons and they did not appear, if it weren't for the occasional sound of insects, I really thought I was isolated from the world.

Xiaowan was not idle, she stayed in the pastoral area for two years to learn the skill of catching hares, at this time she actually caught two hares from the outside, saying that they were to be roasted to make up for me, I jokingly said on the tree that the lesbians are not all about protecting small animals, why do you still catch them and eat them, she said that her stomach has long been hungry and growling, and protecting herself is to better protect other animals.

If it is replaced by me, I absolutely can't bear to kill these vegetarian animals, after all, there is no injustice and no revenge, and I was not allowed to participate in the whole process from slaughter to cooking, until finally a smell of barbecue wafted out completely hooked out my gluttony, this appearance looks weak and beautiful Nizi in the two years of being a young man, there should be a lot of wild creatures that have been "poisoned" by her.

Climbed down the tree and ate a roast hare, this sense of comfort is very happy, it would be better if there was half a bottle of red grain Daqu, Xiaowan is a careful woman, and after cleaning up the food scraps, she came to change the medicine for me, in fact, from the appearance alone, she and Xiuying are both beautiful embryos, but Xiaowan's heart is alive as if she is a man, and she can do any kind of work, not Xiuying's weakness makes people protective.

I didn't expect that the two of us would look at each other from the beginning to be tired of each other and now have nothing to say, this time seems to have gone a lot faster, and before we know it's dark again, we have no intention of going down the mountain, as if we want to stay in this forest forever, live.

Thinking that the man might not come again, I glanced out the window, consciously or unconsciously, and this glance was not tight, and a man dressed in black stood upright under the tree where I had been hiding during the day and looked this way, because it was not yet dark at this time, and I saw her eyes, and her eyes were not so much eyes as two holes, two holes without eyeballs, and I was so frightened that I immediately got up from my chair.

Seeing this, Xiao Wan came over to look out the window, obviously she didn't expect this scene, and actually covered her mouth and screamed again.

I picked up my shovel and opened the door and shouted at her, "Who are you?" What do you want to do? ”

The man still had his hands in his pockets, and stood expressionless without replying.

"If you don't talk again, I'll shoot!" Where do I still have a gun, but I see that he has no eyes and deliberately makes up a lie.

After a five-second pause, she suddenly spoke: "Go, get out of here......" was a woman's voice.

Seeing that she didn't answer my question directly, but just blindly let us go, I swallowed my saliva and slowly walked towards her with an ordnance shovel, and she didn't shy away from it, still standing there looking at us with two empty eye sockets.

When I was halfway through the walk and was about to speak again, she was the first to speak: "Let's go!" Ghosts! ”

As soon as these words almost flashed my waist, it turned out that she hung those yellow charms for us to ward off evil spirits!

I was confused by these words, whether this person was a mad woman with mental illness or a mage from a temple, not to mention that there were wild beasts, but that there were ghosts in this mountain forest.

At this time, Xiaowan ran to my side and asked her: "I have been an educated youth in Inner Mongolia for three years, this can be said to be my second hometown, what happened, can you go into the house and tell us slowly?" ”

Xiao Wan's tone was soft, and there was a request between the lines, and the woman paused for a few seconds after listening to her words, and then took a step straight into the room.

Her face was covered in scars by candlelight, especially the pair of gouged out eye sockets looked horrible, and after some conversation, we finally learned who this mysterious person was, and what terrible things had happened to her.

This mysterious woman's name is Tasha, a villager in the village of Busol, and her father, like Xiaowan's father, Lao Tong, is an archaeologist in the public family. The cause of the whole thing still starts from half a year ago, because the earthquake shook the mysterious Jinpira Forbidden Cave open, and her father decided to form a team of four with Tasha to investigate the Forbidden Cave. However, one of the rebels informed the village chief, and since the Forbidden Cave was a forbidden place for the Busol tribe to enter, they angered the villagers and were punished.

Her father was the one who started the crime and was trapped on a stone pillar and burned alive, while she and another were banished to the mountains with their eyes gouged out, and the other team member died shortly after suffering from his injuries, and since then she has been the only one fighting the beasts in the dark for survival.

Over time, her heart was filled with resentment, and this resentment led her to use the witchcraft passed down from her family to curse the villagers, causing them to slowly die of a terrible black sore, but due to the backlash of this witchcraft, she accidentally unsealed and summoned the undead beasts sleeping underground, and since then the sacred mountain has become a forbidden place, and whenever night comes, this is the playground for Daknaru to hunt.

Although all her hatred has now vanished, the curse has not stopped, and the only way to end it is to re-imprison Daknaru underground.

Tasha told the secret, no wonder only the villagers of Busor could be infected with strange diseases, it turned out that it was not due to the pollution of the river, but a curse, a curse similar to the Gu poison of Miao Jiang.

I asked Tasha if there was any way to reseal the Daknaru she was talking about, and she shook her head and said that there was only a way to do it in an ancient book at home, but her house had been sealed by the villagers, and the contents might have been emptied.

I don't know if what the woman in front of me said is true or false, although I have heard that there are people in the world who are powerful with Gu and witches, but I didn't expect to see one with my own eyes now, and she also said that the undead in the underground were released, is this the zombie we call in the Central Plains?

In Chinese folklore, zombies specifically refer to ghosts that become ghosts after death because of the excessive yin qi of the corpse, resentful and resentful to absorb the yin qi of the moon because they are not blind to death, or the corpse transformation caused by the extremely poor feng shui attributes of the cemetery. From a scientific point of view, this is a reaction of some kind of bioelectricity, but from a legal point of view, it is the effect of ghosts.

Zombies are not monsters that cannot be subdued, on the contrary, they can drive zombies even more in the Xiangxi area. In the early days, if you stayed in a small shop in a mountain village in Xiangxi, you would have seen dead bodies walking, and before dawn, a line of corpses staggered in front of the small inn, and the corpses were draped in a wide black corpse cloth. In front of these corpses, draped in black corpse cloth, there is a living person holding a gong, and this living person is called the "corpse chaser".

The corpse chaser is the business of driving the dead who have died in a foreign land back to their hometowns, and he beats the gong in his hand while leading the group of corpses forward. He doesn't light a lantern and shakes a soul bell in his hand to keep night walkers out of the way, and informs those who have dogs to lock them up. If there were more than two corpses, the corpse chaser would string them one by one with straw ropes, one at a distance of seven or eight feet, and when he walked in the dark, he would put a high blanket on his head and a few pieces of yellow paper with a few inscriptions on his forehead and hang down his face.

There is a "dead corpse inn" on the road, this mysterious "dead corpse inn", only the dead corpse and the corpse chaser, ordinary people dare not live. Its doors are open all year round, and behind the two doors is where the corpses rest. The corpse chaser rushed the corpse to the "corpse shop" before dawn, and quietly left at night. The corpse stood neatly against the wall behind the door panel, and it was difficult to walk in the heavy rain, so it was parked in the store for a few days and nights, which was the Xiangxi corpse driving technique that evolved from the zombies.

It reminds me of a story about his grandfather, who was said to have seen zombies and nearly killed them, and that it all started when he was a teacher.
