I chuckled in my heart, I don't know why that bad premonition came up again, my father seemed to be a little nervous, and the atmosphere around me fell into solemnity again.

The village chief sighed and walked off the platform on a wooden crutch, "Sixty-five years ago, a strange thing happened in that mountain, I was a child who didn't know anything at that time, and my father was the village chief at that time. Because of the rapid increase in population, it was necessary to open up the land on a large scale, and that mountain was naturally included in the category of land reclamation. ”

The village chief slowly walked into the middle of the crowd, and everyone sat down in a circle to listen to the village chief continue.

"At the beginning, the clearing went very smoothly, and most of the people in the village were allocated to the land, but the deeper they opened, the more wrong it became, and in broad daylight they could hear the sound of cats crying. But at that time, my father didn't take it seriously and led the others to continue to open up the wasteland, but at this time, something strange happened. ”

Saying this, the village chief's face suddenly turned pale, and his lips couldn't stop trembling.

"Out of nowhere, thousands of rats came out, all with wolf fangs in their mouths, and their bodies were much larger than ordinary mice, and they pounced on people with red eyes, and bit them when they stared at their necks, and the blood flowed all over the ground, and many people stayed in that mountain to become the food of those monsters, and only one person came back alive, which was my father."

The giant mutated raven popped into my mind.

"When my father came back, he told the people in the village about it, and it caused a panic, and many people chose to leave the village because they were afraid of what was in the mountains and never came back."

The village chief breathed a sigh of relief and said with great sadness: "The day after my father came back, he had a high fever and was in a coma, and the doctor and the mage who drove away the evil spirits did not see what the disease was, and after a few days, my father's skin began to shrink, his eyes became red and swollen, and what was even more terrifying was that the teeth in his mouth became exactly the same as the fangs of a wolf!" ”

I couldn't wait to know what was going on, "What about later?" Dad looked at me, but didn't say anything to stop me.

"Later, my father seemed to be able to get out of bed, eat, and work, but that appearance was always scary. The people in the village couldn't accept the existence of such a monster, so they ignored their mother's obstruction, tied up their father, and burned him alive with fire. As soon as the village chief's words fell, the commotion arose, and it was evident that everyone's fear of the mountain had outweighed the joy they had gained.

"Don't worry, when the city heard about it later, they specially sent several teams of people over, as if they had dug up an ancient tomb under that mountain!"

Tumulus? I'm not unfamiliar with the word, and when I was a kid, Blind Li took me there once, but I didn't get to see what the real tomb looked like. So I became interested in the ancient tomb that the village chief said.

"Village Chief, I heard that there are a lot of gold and silver treasures in the ancient tomb! Did you see what they dug up? ”

The village chief nodded, "I saw it, but it wasn't gold or silver jewelry." ”

"What did you dig up?"

"The corpses of cats, and hundreds of cats, were all bled out, and even their fur turned black."

The cat eats the mouse, the mouse mutates, and eats the cat instead! Heh, that's a novelty.

"At that time, those people told us before they left that the ancient tomb had been refilled by them, and there would be no more strange things in the future, so everyone can rest assured." The village chief raised his head and said to everyone.

Although the date for the opening of the wasteland was set, the words of the village chief made people panic, but they had to go hard for the sake of their livelihood.

The day of clearing the land was coming soon, and I was not usually very concerned about the things in the village, but I was very interested in the mountain, and I begged my father for two days before he agreed to take me to see it.

The momentum of the reclamation was very huge, as if such a grand event had not happened in the village since I could remember.

There were about thirty or forty men holding hoes and singing songs towards the mountain, and I followed behind my father, "Tianlei, you can take a look in a while, hurry up and go home and do your homework, you still have to go to class tomorrow, do you hear?" ”

I nodded, "I know Dad, I know it." ”

When my father saw that I didn't give up without the Yellow River, he let me go.

There was a bitter cold wind blowing from the valley, but now it was the height of summer, but it gave me the illusion that winter was about to begin. Everyone was gradually enveloped in this eerie atmosphere.

The pendant of the iron gourd bottle around my neck is hot again, the last time I woke up in this situation and forgot everything that happened, this time it was hot again, is it a reminder of me?

The closer I got to the mountain, the thinner the air became, and the uneasiness in my heart grew.

"Lao Qi, you said that the strange thing that the village chief said really won't happen again, right?" The bearded uncle asked with a hoe and a rag on his shoulder.

Dad looked up at the sky, shook his head and said, "Didn't the old man say it, it won't happen again." ”

Uncle Camel hunched his back and squeezed into the middle of the two, "I don't think it's a good thing for this mountain to be assigned to us, you look at the old Zhou family, if you don't come, you won't come, if you want me to say that people are still smart, the village chief said so much, or not to come the safest!" ”

Dad didn't pick up the stubble, and pulled me back, "Tianlei, why don't you go home now, what's so beautiful about the mountain without hair." ”

I knew that my father had listened to those two people, and smiled, "Dad, I'll go and see, I promise!" Just take a look and I'll go home! Didn't you tell me to go out and see more! ”

Dad was silent when he heard me say this, and what he said was like water spilled out, so he couldn't slap himself in the face.

It's not so much a mountain as a wasteland. Obviously, the sky was clear one moment, but the next second, as soon as I stepped into the mountain, layers of black smoke came out, and the empty environment was full of panic and uneasiness, there was no wind, no insects, and the extreme silence made people shudder.

My heart went up and down, and the pendant on my chest still felt hot even though it was separated by a layer of clothes, and it even made a 'zig' sound.

Everyone continued to walk inside in fear, and no one dared to stop.

There was a pungent smell in the air, as if something had rotted. Dad subconsciously grabbed my wrist, lowered his voice and said: "Tianlei, no matter what happens for a while, I said to run, you should run along the road when you came, don't look back, do you hear?" ”

Dad's tone was unprecedentedly solemn, did Dad also know that something was wrong with this mountain?
