Back then, Bai Zongnan's mother gave birth to Bai Zongnan, and she was also looking for her.

Thinking of this, I couldn't help but see that she was a little warmer, and her mouth was sweet.

"You're here too, Aunt Chen, sit inside, thank you."

She didn't move when she heard this, she just looked at Bai Zongnan directly, and there was no joy or sorrow in her eyes.

Bai Zongnan was a little puzzled and was about to speak.

She had already turned around slowly, leaving a khaki yellow dress back for Bai Zongnan, and she seemed to be able to hear her muttering.

What to eat, what to eat......

What to eat...... What do you mean?

Bai Zongnan, who heard this sentence at that time, just scratched his head in confusion and continued to entertain guests.

Unexpectedly, when I heard this sentence again, it was more than ten years later.

The person who was sent in front of him was dying, and he didn't need a doctor, and when he heard the breath, he knew that he should be hopeless.

In line with the principle of "medical ethics first", Bai Zongnan still put on a stethoscope and seriously did a check-up.

Bai Zongnan frowned and looked at the two men guarding the door.

Dressed as a peasant, he looked honest, and he was wringing his hands uneasily, looking at Bai Zongnan looking at him, his facial features were twisted together, and his face was full of worry.

"What do you say, can you still save it?"

Bai Zongnan shook his head, pulled his hair together, and sighed slightly, "Just the moment you just sent it, she was still angry, and now her heart is not beating." ”

The other man was wearing a uniform and a peaked cap, his face was expressionless, "Okay, doctor, I'm sorry for you, this person Bai Zongnan carried away."

Seeing Bai Zongnan nodding, the two of them went head to tail, and made a gesture to carry the woman away.

At this moment, a mobile phone ringtone came from the man in the peaked cap, and the two exchanged glances and stopped what they were doing.

The man made a silent gesture to Bai Zongnan, took out his mobile phone and picked up the phone.

"Hey ......"

"It's Bai Zongnan, Bai Zongnan is still in the clinic, the one who went to the back mountain."

"The person is gone, and I'm about to carry it back."

"Okay, okay, Bai Zongnan knows, Bai Zongnan is here to ......"

Hanging up the phone, he looked at the farmer, pointed to the woman and said, "Bai Zongnan has to go back now, I can't help you, you come according to the agreement, and the money will give you two hundred more." ”

After speaking, he left in a hurry without waiting for the other party's consent.

The man dressed as a peasant sat down on the ground in frustration and let out a long sigh.

Bai Zongnan was a little unbearable, patted him on the shoulder and said, "Mourning is changing, people are dead, go to the ground for peace, don't be sad." ”

The man shook his head, tugging at his hair and muttering.

"How can a person carry it, how can a person carry it...... It's over, it's going to be delayed......"

Suddenly, he stood up, his two eyes almost bulging out, and his voice trembled and said, "Big brother, big brother! You are good, the dead can't save the living, can't you save the living? Save Bai Zongnan, save Bai Zongnan, okay? ”

"Bai Zongnan was hired, and the task is to carry this woman, whether she lives or dies, if she can't be sent back to her house before six o'clock in the afternoon, Bai Zongnan won't get a penny!"

"Help Bai Zongnan, doctor, Bai Zongnan's daughter has leukemia, the doctor in the village can't see it well, so he can only send it to the big city to see, the medical expenses have been delayed for a long time, and if he doesn't pay it, he will be kicked out of the hospital."

He shook Bai Zongnan's hand vigorously, and in just a few seconds, tears flowed down his eyes, and he was about to kneel.

Bai Zongnan hurriedly stopped him, and the smile on his face was more ugly than crying.

"No problem, Bai Zongnan happens to be fine, let's say, how can I help you?"

"It's very simple, just help Bai Zongnan lift it?"

"Lift it? What, she? ”

Looking at Bai Zongnan pointing to the bewitching figure lying on the bed, he nodded heavily.

Bai Zongnan looked at the woman on the bed again, with thin eyebrows and almond eyes, his face was pale but his red lips were very bright, and his eyes were closed.

I don't know if I looked too closely, as if I saw her eyelashes move. Just like that, Bai Zongnan's heartbeat suddenly missed half a beat.

After settling down, Bai Zongnan looked at the clock hanging on the wall, and the hands were already pointing to half past two.

"How long has it been here?"

Seeing Bai Zongnan ask, he hurriedly replied, "It's about a little more than three hours." ”

Bai Zongnan suffered from a severe headache, and when he had a seizure, he wanted to cut off his head.

The current scene can be said to be the last thing Bai Zongnan wants to see. Bai Zongnan took out two painkillers and swallowed them, looked at the man's eyes as if he had found a life-saving straw, and nodded slowly for a moment.

About fifteen minutes later, Bai Zongnan sat in the passenger seat of the pickup truck, and the woman was put in the back compartment by Bai Zongnan. He drove leisurely and lit a cigarette.

It seemed that the time was in time, Bai Zongnan settled down and talked with him.

During the conversation, I learned that his name was Wang Jian, and he was a temporary worker in a building materials factory in Bai Zongnan's village, and he usually did something else to earn extra money. Until his daughter was diagnosed with leukemia, he had to work hard to raise medical expenses, no matter what was white or red, dirty work, as long as the money was in place, he was OK.

This was his first job after leaving the village, and the other party offered a lot of money, asking him to send the woman to the hospital with the man he had seen in the clinic before, and if he died or was not saved, he had to pull the body to this place as soon as possible-

Speaking of this, he dragged a dialect, and seeing that Bai Zongnan didn't understand, he gestured with his hand and explained it in broken Mandarin

- Houshan Cemetery.

However, if you run out of time or lose someone, not only will you lose a penny, but you may also be killed.

"Killed? Not really," Bai Zongnan felt a little ridiculous.

Seeing that Bai Zongnan didn't believe it, he raised his voice a little.

"Why not, just the man who was there just now, Bai Zongnan was wearing sunglasses when he first saw him, but he was fierce, and said that this is not good, I want to kill that, that is not good, I want to kill this...... Except for his master, ah, an old man, who smokes hookah all the time, that's a respectful one! ”

"Bai Zongnan is also a worker, and we still understand it with low eyebrows."

"But there is one thing, it is indeed a bit strange, before coming to you, there were two moves, one large and one small, but after you, there is only one left."

Speaking of this, he looked at Bai Zongnan, his voice trembling a little.

"What's two-one-one?" Bai Zongnan looked out the car window and asked a little casually.

"It's two, and then ...... He pointed to the back of his right hand, a. ”

Bai Zongnan's eyes widened instantly, "What did you say?" You repeat. It turned out to be two people, and then only this woman was left? ”

When he saw Bai Zongnan suddenly attack, he swallowed and foamed.

"Right...... Yes, there were two people before, one big and one small, and then she was the only one left. ”

"What about the little one?" Bai Zongnan asked according to his words.

"I don't know, it's gone halfway. Bai Zongnan was quite puzzled at the time, but fortunately, the man didn't pursue it, Bai Zongnan thought that more things were better than less, and it was true to get the money in his hands, so he didn't care. ”

"The woman in the back, is she married?"

"Oh, how do you know this Bai Zongnan, but she has a ring on her middle finger, gold, it should be there. But Bai Zongnan didn't take it, it was the man who took it. A hint of panic flashed across the man's face.

After hearing his words, Bai Zongnan fell silent.

Seeing that Bai Zongnan hadn't spoken for a long time, he frequently turned his head to look at Bai Zongnan.

"Brother, what do you think is the situation?"

Bai Zongnan didn't answer him, because Bai Zongnan thought of some past events, a long time ago.

When Bai Zongnan was five years old, there was a famine in the village, and many people died of starvation. At that time, people were still very superstitious, and the village chief decided to take some people to the back mountain to worship the mountain god, about twice a month, respectively on the day of the full moon and the day of the lack of the moon.

At first, most of the people in the village were very opposed to this proposal, and they didn't have enough to eat, so they went to sacrifice? .

But then as more and more people died, almost every family starved to death. Gradually, some people loosened their attitudes and began to waver, and later, the proposal was unanimously approved by the village.

The rules are very simple, two people from each family go to the back mountain to participate in the sacrifice, the time of each sacrifice is one week, and you can't leave the back mountain during the sacrifice. Families who participate in the festival can be given priority to food, and if they don't go, they will have to find their own way.

At first, there were not many people who went, and it was strange to say, but then I saw that the people who participated in the sacrifice really prayed for food one after another, and the rest of the people couldn't sit still, and the hunger made people's eyes red, not to mention participating in the sacrifice, as long as they were given food, they could do anything!

During that time, Bai Zongnan had a high fever and talked nonsense, and his body was covered with sores. After two rounds of sacrifices, Bai Zongnanniang gritted her teeth and went. It stands to reason that Bai Zongnan's family should also have two people, but first, because Bai Zongnan was too young, and second, because Bai Zongnan's father was sick in bed at the time and couldn't move, so he gave up.

It seems that since then, after each sacrifice, Bai Zongnan's family can also get some food, not much, but they will not starve to death after all.

Aunt Chen told Bai Zongnan that Bai Zongnan was already hungry and delirious at that time, talking nonsense, and he didn't eat the food when it was delivered to his mouth, but only made a lot of noise, and called his parents' names in his mouth.

It was also at that time that she was young and ignorant, and Aunt Chen was half of Bai Zongnan's nurse, half coaxing and half threatening to feed Bai Zongnan to eat, feed Bai Zongnan to drink, and Bai Zongnan could live to this day.

I still remember that at that time, she glared at Bai Zongnan fiercely, and shouted in her mouth, "Little rabbit cub, do you know what your aunt does?" Your aunt pulled you out of your mother's belly, just grabbed your little head, and pulled ...... like this," she said, gesturing vigorously and pulling into her arms very exaggeratedly.

"Don't listen to Bai Zongnan's words, do you know what your aunt is doing after pulling you out? I'm pulling your mother's meat, tearing off the piece of meat on your mother's stomach and stuffing it in your mouth, so that you don't starve to death, understand? ”

"If you don't listen to Bai Zongnan's words, Bai Zongnan will pull the meat on your stomach."

After saying that, her hand reached towards Bai Zongnan's stomach, so frightened that Bai Zongnan shrank back, immediately collected her tears, and obediently ate the food she handed over, for fear of annoying her and pulling Bai Zongnan's stomach.

With food, Bai Zongnan and his father's bodies gradually recovered, and when Bai Zongnan and the two could go to the ground, the famine would pass, and the sacrifice would be over.

However, Aunt Chen told Bai Zongnan that Bai Zongnanniang was chosen by the mountain god to be the mountain god's wife during the second sacrifice, and she could no longer go home to see Bai Zongnan and her father. I still remember that Bai Zongnan looked at his father in confusion when he heard this, but his father just lowered his head, didn't say a word, and brushed his hair with his hand.

Later, after Bai Zongnan went to school, he also asked other people in the village, and the answer was the same. Bai Zongnanniang was selected by the mountain god during the second sacrifice, stood up from a circle of villagers around the sacrifice, chanted words in her mouth, and ran to the mountain in the distance, no one could stop her, thinking that she was possessed.

Possessed by Yunyun Bai Zongnan naturally didn't believe it, probably because Bai Zongnanniang was fainted by hunger, launched a madness and ran to the mountains and got lost, and couldn't come back.

As the saying goes, if you live, you must see people, and when you die, you must see corpses. Bai Zongnan misses Bai Zongnanniang very much, and often secretly goes to the back mountain at night alone, but in the end, he is timid and does not dare to go deep into the mountain. In the dark night, the back mountain is dark, and nothing is found except for the occasional howl of night owls, which is creepy.

Until one time, Bai Zongnan took advantage of the darkness to go out again and touched the back mountain, this time Bai Zongnan wanted to go farther, even if he found some traces. This time did not disappoint Bai Zongnan, when Bai Zongnan walked to the mountain road leading to the back mountain, he found two figures not far in front of a bend, which frightened Bai Zongnan to stop in place and not dare to move.

The moonlight that night was very bright, and the two figures were one tall and one short, the tall one was obviously an adult, but the figure was graceful, it should be a woman, and the short one was shorter than Bai Zongnan, a child.

Bai Zongnan squinted his eyes and saw it clearly, the woman was wearing a cheongsam, her hair was coiled high, and she was dressed in the eighties of the last century.

She held the child tightly in her right hand and was heading towards the back hill. Bai Zongnan tiptoed to follow, for fear of making a sound, and his heart was pounding.

Soon, Bai Zongnan realized that something was wrong.

It is not so much the woman holding the child as it is pulling him forward, and the child's feet are not stepping forward at all, but are dragged forward by the woman.

It's a lot like in a movie.

Bai Zongnan's mind popped up for no reason a scene from the Lin Zhengying movie he had watched before, which scared Bai Zongnan into a wit.

This clever is not tight, but he stepped on a branch under his feet. The squeak was not loud, but in the dead silence of the night, the mountain spread instantly.

The figure in front of him instantly petrified, and the ears visible to the naked eye moved and stopped.

Bai Zongnan swallowed and foamed, his heart almost stopped beating, cold sweat broke out, and at that moment, he felt that the blood in his brain coagulated.

I don't know why, in extreme fear, Bai Zongnan's eyesight seems to have become extremely good, and he can even clearly see the connection between the right hand of the "woman" and the child, it seems, something is strange, as if something is missing.

A slender hand grabbed the position of the child's back collar, and looking up, Bai Zongnan's God, there is no head!

Saying that it was too late, the "woman" turned around slowly, and the shaking child attracted Bai Zongnan's attention, and Bai Zongnan, who was immersed in great horror, didn't have time to greet her.

After Bai Zongnan came back to his senses, Bai Zongnan saw a miserable white and bloodless face, with empty eyes, long hair swaying lightly, and the corners of his mouth slowly grinning, almost reaching his ears.

"Whew!" Bai Zongnan couldn't help but turn around and run, running and running, no matter the direction or what he stepped on, at that time, Bai Zongnan had a thought in his heart, he couldn't let her catch up, he couldn't let her catch up!

It was also Bai Zongnan's good luck that he ran back to the village before dawn. Encountering such an encounter, Bai Zongnan lay at home for three days before relieving.

Later, Bai Zongnan heard rumors from the village that it was the night that Bai Zongnan "hit the ghost" that had an accident, and the body of Widow Liu was gone.

Speaking of Widow Liu, she was really a hard-working woman, she died in childbirth a week ago, with one corpse and two lives. Bai Zongnan's father took pity on her, and the people in Zhang Luo's village pooled money to buy a tablet for her and her children, and set up a large head in the cemetery in the suburbs.

And yesterday afternoon, a lame middle-aged man named Old Man Liu passed by the cemetery. He is considered an "old man" in the village, and it is said that he has a crush on Widow Liu, and he is also a survivor who participated in the sacrifice but survived.

Just as he limped along the cemetery, he found that a tablet had been lifted out, the coffin lid was ajar, and the scene was very strange. The man knew in his heart, "Is this not the tomb of the widow who has just been buried?" He had the courage to lean over to look, but he was frightened and scattered, and the two corpses were gone.

Bai Zongnan, who heard the news at that time, couldn't stop shaking, and his father asked Bai Zongnan if he was sick, but Bai Zongnan just shook his head and said nothing.

Because Bai Zongnan remembered that the widow Liu was married from another village, and her husband died in the famine.

After her husband died, her belly grew bigger, and the village was small, and she belonged to the kind of fart in the east and cover her nose in the west, and soon the gossip around her in the village began.

She ignored the pointing and gossip of the people around her, and went to work in the field with a big belly, as if to say, this baby Bai Zongnan must be born!

But I didn't expect it to be ...... later

The scene of that night was deeply in Bai Zongnan's mind, one tall and one short, one big and one small, the child's body was carried by the woman, swinging one after another.

"Oh, Bai Zong Nancao!" Before the words fell, there was another "bang".

The sudden scream accompanied by a loud noise coldly interrupted Bai Zongnan's memories, and before Bai Zongnan came back to his senses, the sky was spinning, and then he felt that his head was hit hard, and a moment before he lost consciousness, Bai Zongnan vaguely saw a flash of red outside the car window.

——

When he woke up again, it was pitch black in front of him, and his left forehead seemed to be seriously injured, and the pain made Bai Zongnan wake up a little more.

Where is this? Bai Zongnan held his forehead, pulled his hair, and groped to the side with his other hand.

Not long after, Bai Zongnan's hand touched something slippery, and subconsciously sniffed it, it was so fishy.

Not surprisingly, it's blood.

Bai Zongnan struggled to sit up, took out his mobile phone from his pants pocket, and awkwardly turned on the button, and the screen lit up.

Bai Zongnan breathed a sigh of relief, and looked at the place where the blood had just been stained through the faint light.

Wang Jian fell into the soil, not knowing whether he was alive or dead. Bai Zongnan moved in his direction, reached out to probe his snort, ran out of breath, and checked him a little, Bai Zongnan leaned back against the stone wall again, gasping for breath.

Maybe it's an occupational disease, and he's used to seeing life and death, seeing two corpses in one day won't make Bai Zongnan collapse, but he feels as if he has been led into a whirlpool.

Thinking of the woman in the cheongsam, Bai Zongnan's heart moved for no reason.

The darkness stimulated the animality, and her graceful figure and better face came to mind again, like a sleeping beauty, her sandalwood mouth was slightly open, her two red lips were like an orchid, and the smell of a woman lingered on the tip of Bai Zongnan's nose.

No, the keen sense of smell told Bai Zongnan that the aroma was not Bai Zongnan's fantasy...... Could it be?

Bai Zongnan turned on the flashlight of his mobile phone and illuminated the entire environment.

Here, it seems to be a cave, and Bai Zongnan and Wang Jian are lying next to the stone wall.

After a while, Bai Zongnan seemed to realize that this was a cycle......

Back then, Bai Zongnan's mother gave birth to Bai Zongnan, and she was also looking for her.

Thinking of this, I couldn't help but see that she was a little warmer, and her mouth was sweet.

"You're here too, Aunt Chen, sit inside, thank you."

She didn't move when she heard this, she just looked at Bai Zongnan directly, and there was no joy or sorrow in her eyes.

Bai Zongnan was a little puzzled and was about to speak.

She had already turned around slowly, leaving a khaki yellow dress back for Bai Zongnan, and she seemed to be able to hear her muttering.

What to eat, what to eat......

What to eat...... What do you mean?

Bai Zongnan, who heard this sentence at that time, just scratched his head in confusion and continued to entertain guests.

Unexpectedly, when I heard this sentence again, it was more than ten years later.

The person who was sent in front of him was dying, and he didn't need a doctor, and when he heard the breath, he knew that he should be hopeless.

In line with the principle of "medical ethics first", Bai Zongnan still put on a stethoscope and seriously did a check-up.

Bai Zongnan frowned and looked at the two men guarding the door.

Dressed as a peasant, he looked honest, and he was wringing his hands uneasily, looking at Bai Zongnan looking at him, his facial features were twisted together, and his face was full of worry.

"What do you say, can you still save it?"

Bai Zongnan shook his head, pulled his hair together, and sighed slightly, "Just the moment you just sent it, she was still angry, and now her heart is not beating." ”

The other man was wearing a uniform and a peaked cap, his face was expressionless, "Okay, doctor, I'm sorry for you, this person Bai Zongnan carried away."

Seeing Bai Zongnan nodding, the two of them went head to tail, and made a gesture to carry the woman away.

At this moment, a mobile phone ringtone came from the man in the peaked cap, and the two exchanged glances and stopped what they were doing.

The man made a silent gesture to Bai Zongnan, took out his mobile phone and picked up the phone.

"Hey ......"

"It's Bai Zongnan, Bai Zongnan is still in the clinic, the one who went to the back mountain."

"The person is gone, and I'm about to carry it back."

"Okay, okay, Bai Zongnan knows, Bai Zongnan is here to ......"

Hanging up the phone, he looked at the farmer, pointed to the woman and said, "Bai Zongnan has to go back now, I can't help you, you come according to the agreement, and the money will give you two hundred more." ”

After speaking, he left in a hurry without waiting for the other party's consent.

The man dressed as a peasant sat down on the ground in frustration and let out a long sigh.

Bai Zongnan was a little unbearable, patted him on the shoulder and said, "Mourning is changing, people are dead, go to the ground for peace, don't be sad." ”

The man shook his head, tugging at his hair and muttering.

"How can a person carry it, how can a person carry it...... It's over, it's going to be delayed......"

Suddenly, he stood up, his two eyes almost bulging out, and his voice trembled and said, "Big brother, big brother! You are good, the dead can't save the living, can't you save the living? Save Bai Zongnan, save Bai Zongnan, okay? ”

"Bai Zongnan was hired, and the task is to carry this woman, whether she lives or dies, if she can't be sent back to her house before six o'clock in the afternoon, Bai Zongnan won't get a penny!"

"Help Bai Zongnan, doctor, Bai Zongnan's daughter has leukemia, the doctor in the village can't see it well, so he can only send it to the big city to see, the medical expenses have been delayed for a long time, and if he doesn't pay it, he will be kicked out of the hospital."

He shook Bai Zongnan's hand vigorously, and in just a few seconds, tears flowed down his eyes, and he was about to kneel.

Bai Zongnan hurriedly stopped him, and the smile on his face was more ugly than crying.

"No problem, Bai Zongnan happens to be fine, let's say, how can I help you?"

"It's very simple, just help Bai Zongnan lift it?"

"Lift it? What, she? ”

Looking at Bai Zongnan pointing to the bewitching figure lying on the bed, he nodded heavily.

Bai Zongnan looked at the woman on the bed again, with thin eyebrows and almond eyes, his face was pale but his red lips were very bright, and his eyes were closed.

I don't know if I looked too closely, as if I saw her eyelashes move. Just like that, Bai Zongnan's heartbeat suddenly missed half a beat.

After settling down, Bai Zongnan looked at the clock hanging on the wall, and the hands were already pointing to half past two.

"How long has it been here?"

Seeing Bai Zongnan ask, he hurriedly replied, "It's about a little more than three hours." ”

Bai Zongnan suffered from a severe headache, and when he had a seizure, he wanted to cut off his head.

The current scene can be said to be the last thing Bai Zongnan wants to see. Bai Zongnan took out two painkillers and swallowed them, looked at the man's eyes as if he had found a life-saving straw, and nodded slowly for a moment.

About fifteen minutes later, Bai Zongnan sat in the passenger seat of the pickup truck, and the woman was put in the back compartment by Bai Zongnan. He drove leisurely and lit a cigarette.

It seemed that the time was in time, Bai Zongnan settled down and talked with him.

During the conversation, I learned that his name was Wang Jian, and he was a temporary worker in a building materials factory in Bai Zongnan's village, and he usually did something else to earn extra money. Until his daughter was diagnosed with leukemia, he had to work hard to raise medical expenses, no matter what was white or red, dirty work, as long as the money was in place, he was OK.

Speaking of this, he dragged a dialect, and seeing that Bai Zongnan didn't understand, he gestured with his hand and explained it in broken Mandarin

- Houshan Cemetery.

However, if you run out of time or lose someone, not only will you lose a penny, but you may also be killed.

"Killed? Not really," Bai Zongnan felt a little ridiculous.

Seeing that Bai Zongnan didn't believe it, he raised his voice a little.

"Why not, just the man who was there just now, Bai Zongnan was wearing sunglasses when he first saw him, but he was fierce, and said that this is not good, I want to kill that, that is not good, I want to kill this......

Bai Zongnan's eyes widened instantly, "What did you say?" You repeat. It turned out to be two people, and then only this woman was left? ”

When he saw Bai Zongnan suddenly attack, he swallowed and foamed.

"Right...... Yes, there were two people before, one big and one small, and then she was the only one left. ”

"What about the little one?" Bai Zongnan asked according to his words.

"I don't know, it's gone halfway. Bai Zongnan was quite puzzled at the time, but fortunately, the man didn't pursue it, Bai Zongnan thought that more things were better than less, and it was true to get the money in his hands, so he didn't care. ”

"The woman in the back, is she married?"

"Oh, how do you know this Bai Zongnan, but she has a ring on her middle finger, gold, it should be there. But Bai Zongnan didn't take it, it was the man who took it. A hint of panic flashed across the man's face.

After hearing his words, Bai Zongnan fell silent.

Seeing that Bai Zongnan hadn't spoken for a long time, he frequently turned his head to look at Bai Zongnan.

"Brother, what do you think is the situation?"

Bai Zongnan didn't answer him, because Bai Zongnan thought of some past events, a long time ago.

During that time, Bai Zongnan had a high fever and talked nonsense, and his body was covered with sores. After two rounds of sacrifices, Bai Zongnanniang gritted her teeth and went. It stands to reason that Bai Zongnan's family should also have two people, but first, because Bai Zongnan was too young, and second, because Bai Zongnan's father was sick in bed at the time and couldn't move, so he gave up.

It seems that since then, after each sacrifice, Bai Zongnan's family can also get some food, not much, but they will not starve to death after all.

Aunt Chen told Bai Zongnan that Bai Zongnan was already hungry and delirious at that time, talking nonsense, and he didn't eat the food when it was delivered to his mouth, but only made a lot of noise, and called his parents' names in his mouth.

It was also at that time that she was young and ignorant, and Aunt Chen was half of Bai Zongnan's nurse, half coaxing and half threatening to feed Bai Zongnan to eat, feed Bai Zongnan to drink, and Bai Zongnan could live to this day.

I still remember that at that time, she glared at Bai Zongnan fiercely, and shouted in her mouth, "Little rabbit cub, do you know what your aunt does?" Your aunt pulled you out of your mother's belly, just grabbed your little head, and pulled ...... like this," she said, gesturing vigorously and pulling into her arms very exaggeratedly.

"Don't listen to Bai Zongnan's words, do you know what your aunt is doing after pulling you out? I'm pulling your mother's meat, tearing off the piece of meat on your mother's stomach and stuffing it in your mouth, so that you don't starve to death, understand? ”

"If you don't listen to Bai Zongnan's words, Bai Zongnan will pull the meat on your stomach."

After saying that, her hand reached towards Bai Zongnan's stomach, so frightened that Bai Zongnan shrank back, immediately collected her tears, and obediently ate the food she handed over, for fear of annoying her and pulling Bai Zongnan's stomach.

With food, Bai Zongnan and his father's bodies gradually recovered, and when Bai Zongnan and the two could go to the ground, the famine would pass, and the sacrifice would be over.

However, Aunt Chen told Bai Zongnan that Bai Zongnanniang was chosen by the mountain god to be the mountain god's wife during the second sacrifice, and she could no longer go home to see Bai Zongnan and her father. I still remember that Bai Zongnan looked at his father in confusion when he heard this, but his father just lowered his head, didn't say a word, and brushed his hair with his hand.

Later, after Bai Zongnan went to school, he also asked other people in the village, and the answer was the same. Bai Zongnanniang was selected by the mountain god during the second sacrifice, stood up from a circle of villagers around the sacrifice, chanted words in her mouth, and ran to the mountain in the distance, no one could stop her, thinking that she was possessed.

Possessed by Yunyun Bai Zongnan naturally didn't believe it, probably because Bai Zongnanniang was fainted by hunger, launched a madness and ran to the mountains and got lost, and couldn't come back.

As the saying goes, if you live, you must see people, and when you die, you must see corpses. Bai Zongnan misses Bai Zongnanniang very much, and often secretly goes to the back mountain at night alone, but in the end, he is timid and does not dare to go deep into the mountain. In the dark night, the back mountain is dark, and nothing is found except for the occasional howl of night owls, which is creepy.

Until one time, Bai Zongnan took advantage of the darkness to go out again and touched the back mountain, this time Bai Zongnan wanted to go farther, even if he found some traces. This time did not disappoint Bai Zongnan, when Bai Zongnan walked to the mountain road leading to the back mountain, he found two figures not far in front of a bend, which frightened Bai Zongnan to stop in place and not dare to move.

The moonlight that night was very bright, and the two figures were one tall and one short, the tall one was obviously an adult, but the figure was graceful, it should be a woman, and the short one was shorter than Bai Zongnan, a child.

Bai Zongnan squinted his eyes and saw it clearly, the woman was wearing a cheongsam, her hair was coiled high, and she was dressed in the eighties of the last century.

She held the child tightly in her right hand and was heading towards the back hill. Bai Zongnan tiptoed to follow, for fear of making a sound, and his heart was pounding.

Soon, Bai Zongnan realized that something was wrong.

It is not so much the woman holding the child as it is pulling him forward, and the child's feet are not stepping forward at all, but are dragged forward by the woman.

It's very similar to the corpse chasers in Xiangxi.

Bai Zongnan's mind popped up for no reason a scene from the Lin Zhengying movie he had watched before, which scared Bai Zongnan into a wit.

This clever is not tight, but he stepped on a branch under his feet. The squeak was not loud, but in the dead silence of the night, the mountain spread instantly.

The figure in front of him instantly petrified, and the ears visible to the naked eye moved and stopped.

Bai Zongnan swallowed and foamed, his heart almost stopped beating, cold sweat broke out, and at that moment, he felt that the blood in his brain coagulated.

I don't know why, in extreme fear, Bai Zongnan's eyesight seems to have become extremely good, and he can even clearly see the connection between the right hand of the "woman" and the child, it seems, something is strange, as if something is missing.

A slender hand grabbed the position of the child's back collar, and looking up, Bai Zongnan's God, there is no head!

Saying that it was too late, the "woman" turned around slowly, and the shaking child attracted Bai Zongnan's attention, and Bai Zongnan, who was immersed in great horror, didn't have time to greet her.

After Bai Zongnan came back to his senses, Bai Zongnan saw a miserable white and bloodless face, with empty eyes, long hair swaying lightly, and the corners of his mouth slowly grinning, almost reaching his ears.

"Whew!" Bai Zongnan couldn't help but turn around and run, running and running, no matter the direction or what he stepped on, at that time, Bai Zongnan had a thought in his heart, he couldn't let her catch up, he couldn't let her catch up!

It was also Bai Zongnan's good luck that he ran back to the village before dawn. Encountering such an encounter, Bai Zongnan lay at home for three days before relieving.

Later, Bai Zongnan heard rumors from the village that it was the night that Bai Zongnan "hit the ghost" that had an accident, and the body of Widow Liu was gone.

Speaking of Widow Liu, she was really a hard-working woman, she died in childbirth a week ago, with one corpse and two lives. Bai Zongnan's father took pity on her, and the people in Zhang Luo's village pooled money to buy a tablet for her and her children, and set up a large head in the cemetery in the suburbs.

And yesterday afternoon, a lame middle-aged man named Old Man Liu passed by the cemetery. He is considered an "old man" in the village, and it is said that he has a crush on Widow Liu, and he is also a survivor who participated in the sacrifice but survived.

Just as he limped along the cemetery, he found that a tablet had been lifted out, the coffin lid was ajar, and the scene was very strange. The man knew in his heart, "Is this not the tomb of the widow who has just been buried?" He had the courage to lean over to look, but he was frightened and scattered, and the two corpses were gone.

Bai Zongnan, who heard the news at that time, couldn't stop shaking, and his father asked Bai Zongnan if he was sick, but Bai Zongnan just shook his head and said nothing.

Because Bai Zongnan remembered that the widow Liu was married from another village, and her husband died in the famine.

After her husband died, her belly grew bigger, and the village was small, and she belonged to the kind of fart in the east and cover her nose in the west, and soon the gossip around her in the village began.

She ignored the pointing and gossip of the people around her, and went to work in the field with a big belly, as if to say, this baby Bai Zongnan must be born!

But I didn't expect it to be ...... later

The scene of that night was deeply in Bai Zongnan's mind, one tall and one short, one big and one small, the child's body was carried by the woman, swinging one after another.

"Oh, Bai Zongnan!" Before the words fell, there was another "bang".

The sudden scream accompanied by a loud noise coldly interrupted Bai Zongnan's memories, and before Bai Zongnan came back to his senses, the sky was spinning, and then he felt that his head was hit hard, and a moment before he lost consciousness, Bai Zongnan vaguely saw a flash of red outside the car window.

——

When he woke up again, it was pitch black in front of him, and his left forehead seemed to be seriously injured, and the pain made Bai Zongnan wake up a little more.

Where is this? Bai Zongnan held his forehead, pulled his hair, and groped to the side with his other hand.

Not long after, Bai Zongnan's hand touched something slippery, and subconsciously sniffed it, it was so fishy.

Not surprisingly, it's blood.

Bai Zongnan struggled to sit up, took out his mobile phone from his pants pocket, and awkwardly turned on the button, and the screen lit up.

Bai Zongnan breathed a sigh of relief, and looked at the place where the blood had just been stained through the faint light.

Wang Jian fell into the soil, not knowing whether he was alive or dead. Bai Zongnan moved in his direction, reached out to probe his snort, ran out of breath, and checked him a little, Bai Zongnan leaned back against the stone wall again, gasping for breath.

Maybe it's an occupational disease, and he's used to seeing life and death, seeing two corpses in one day won't make Bai Zongnan collapse, but he feels as if he has been led into a whirlpool.

Thinking of the woman in the cheongsam, Bai Zongnan's heart moved for no reason.

The darkness stimulated the animality, and her graceful figure and better face came to mind again, like a sleeping beauty, her sandalwood mouth was slightly open, her two red lips were like orchids, and the smell of fragrant fragrance lingered on the tip of Bai Zongnan's nose.

No, the keen sense of smell told Bai Zongnan that the aroma was not Bai Zongnan's fantasy...... Could it be?

Bai Zongnan turned on the flashlight of his mobile phone and illuminated the entire environment.

Here, it seems to be a cave, and Bai Zongnan and Wang Jian are lying next to the stone wall.
