Chapter 7 Overnight in a mountain village
Chapter 7: Overnight in a mountain village
The sky is just bright, I don't know whose rooster is crowing, the distant chirping sound, mixed with bursts of Chinese pastoral dog roar, just this kind of chicken and dog smell scene, how can it appear in this kind of deep mountain?
Lin Yu opened his eyes and moved his body. Suddenly came to his senses, wasn't he swept away by that black mist? Why did you suddenly appear here?
At this time, Liuchen and Enhui also opened their eyes.
Immediately, the two stood up, their faces full of shock.
"It's strange, how can this be?" Liuchen said with surprise on his face.
Enhui also looked around in shock, his sleep has not been good, since he arrived here, sleep is even less, but last night in the case of such high vigilance, he actually fell asleep, to say that nothing happened, Enhui will not admit it.
Look around, where is the dilapidated log cabin from last night.
The place where the three of them were was a flat slope, surrounded by a few dead trees with broken leaves.
Looking down the mountain, the fog from last night had cleared. Dusty eyes glowed with joy.
"Look!" Liuchen pointed ahead with his finger, and Enhui and Lin Yu looked in the direction.
There's a village somewhere.
The three of them hurriedly ran to the village.
By this time, by early morning, many farmers had already begun to get up and work.
From time to time, night owls who have not returned all night have scurried into the walls of their homes.
The rural construction here is not very good, and in some places there are still walls of less than 2 meters surrounded by mud. There are also some houses that do not have a fence, and you can see the furnishings of the central hall at a glance.
The first three people to be found were a rural woman, and the arrival of several people attracted the attention of the whole village.
Originally, Lin Yu was still a little nervous, after all, they were all strangers, and Lin Yu had heard a lot of legends in the mountain village, so he thought that these should be very indifferent to send himself and the others out.
However, things were contrary to what Lin Yu and the others thought, and under the leadership of a few enthusiastic villagers, several people came to the village chief's residence.
The village chief's residence is different from others, and the construction of the house is much better than the others, and there is a vague sense of heaviness that evokes a serious attitude.
The village chief, without exception, was an old man, probably 60 or 70 years old, with a walking stick carved from solid thick wood, and sat on the right seat.
Lin Yu and Enhui both sat behind Liuchen, and because Liuchen was older, they looked more like the leader.
The village chief said the question in a unique voice, and when Lin Yu and Enhui heard it, it was indeed Sichuanese, although it obviously had a local accent, but Lin Yu and Enhui could still understand it.
What is strange is that Uncle Liuchen can actually understand it, and he can also communicate with the village chief in Sichuan.
Village Chief: "Where are you from?" Because the traffic with the outside world is not very convenient here, it takes 6 hours to walk along the mountain road to reach a better mountain road, except for young people who have to go out to work hard and patients who are seriously ill and want to go to the city for treatment. There is only no entry and exit, and almost no one will come here. ”
Liuchen said, "We came by plane, but because the plane broke down and we parachuted to escape, we flew here, what is this place?" ”
The old man said, "We don't follow the rules here, we only remember that the name of our village is Tutai Village." So even if I tell you, it won't be of much use, but the young man who came back from outside said that we should be in the western part of Sichuan. I forgot the specifics. "Old people always like to talk more, although a lot of it is useless nonsense, but they can still say a lot of fun with pleasure, it sounds like a different taste, just like a child's aftertaste, Lin Yu thought.
Enhui suddenly said, "Grandpa the village chief, do you have any strange legends here?" Like mountain fog or something? ”
Enhui really can't speak, and generally this kind of thing is avoided in mountain villages. Most people would think that such stories would bring bad luck. Just ask who will answer for you.
However, the village chief's face changed, and then the hand holding the cane was obviously a little whiter.
Then the village chief said, "It is true that we have some legends of ghosts here, but most of them are untrue, only the legend of the ghost fog, we can be sure." ”
Lin Yu and the three of them were attracted by the village chief's words.
The village chief said, "I don't know when, maybe it was when I wasn't born." We are here as a burial site, or a grave. I don't know who the first person to move here was, but more and more people are moving here anyway. And I don't know what to do with those graves. Anyway, nothing strange happened for many years, it was a time of war, we were still inland at that time, and the war was not very fierce. But there were also many patriotic young people who responded to the call to join the rebel army, and after leaving Sichuan, they never came back. ”
When Existence said this, there were obvious tears in the corners of his eyes. However, he quickly replied and continued, "At that time, I was the youngest and last male in our family, but I also wanted to be a soldier and kill enemies for the country, but my family did not allow it. So locked me in the house. That night, I secretly unlocked the door and tried to escape in the dark. Unfortunately, however, I was lost, because I had never been out of this mountain, and the enthusiasm of young people often brought trouble.
That night, I walked everywhere, and I didn't expect that there was so much fog in the mountains, which was very difficult to see. With the fog, it was even more difficult to find the way, so I simply rested in the mountains and forests. After all, he is a young man, and he is not afraid of anything. But at night, it must have been midnight, and the night wind in the mountains and forests woke me up. I felt cold and numb in my hands and feet. I could vaguely hear someone talking, as if they were screaming. It scared the hell out of me, and I immediately got up and wanted to run. But my body was like it didn't obey my commands. ”
"Isn't it like running in your sleep, and your whole body is not flexible?" Liuchen said.
"Yes, yes, that's what it feels like." The village chief continued to tell his story: "I'll just run, run. I thought to myself that I must have encountered a ghost, but as soon as I thought about it, I heard someone calling me from behind my back, and it felt as if it was speaking in my ear. However, I didn't dare to turn around, so I kept running, running. That voice has always been in my ears. And gradually there was the sound of footsteps, and I thought I was going to die, but suddenly a wooden house appeared in front of me, and there was light in it, and I ran even more desperately, and finally ran into the wooden house. Suddenly, there was no cold, no sound, no footsteps. I was so tired that I fell asleep, and when I woke up the next day, I was already in the grove on the edge of the village, and I could no longer run around in the face of this incident, so I stayed in this village until I was 90 years old. ”
After listening to the story told by the village chief, Lin Yu got a lot of information. First of all, there really was that terrifying fog here, and secondly, the wooden house was there decades ago, and it had sent the village chief back here. Also, the village chief is 90 years old this year, but he only looks like a 60 or 70-year-old man.
Just then, a middle-aged man walked in.
The village chief said, "Outsider, this is the only person in our village who has returned from outside and is still in the village, his name is Kong Wen. If you want to go out, he will take you out, and if you don't have someone to take you here, it's easy to get lost. ”
Liuchen said, "Thank you so much, I don't know when I can go." ”
Kong Wen was a thin man, his cheekbones were slightly high, his eyes were slightly sunken, and his face was a little blue. What does the whole person say? I feel a little bit of a gloomy feeling like crawling out of the grave.
Kong Wen said, "We had better choose to walk in the morning, because if you go out, it will take 5 or 6 hours for ordinary people, and if I am used to walking the mountain road, I should be able to come back in 3 or 4 hours. ”
Lin Yu looked at his watch, it was already past 10 o'clock at this time, it was obvious that time had passed, although it was a pity, this place was very evil, and Lin Yu wanted to leave here. However, it's only tomorrow, so it's good to be patient.
......
The village chief's house is very large, but he is the only one who lives, and although Lin Yu is curious about where his children have gone, he doesn't ask.
The cleaned room was a bit big, so the three of them slept in the same room. Sichuan is located in a basin, and it is humid all year round, so if you don't eat chili peppers and other ingredients, it is easy to get sick.
Sleeping on the bed, Lin Yu and Liuchen didn't take off their clothes, because they always felt that something was going to happen.
And before leaving, the presence also emphasized that you should not go out of the bedroom door at night.
Such a look is easy to make people confused and curious, of course, Lin Yu and the others are in a different place after all, so it is best to be cautious, and they will leave at 8 o'clock tomorrow morning, so the three of them still hurry up and rest.
Especially Enhui and Liuchen, one is nervous and extremely tired, and the other is just seriously injured and needs to recuperate.
Among several people, only Lin Yu was in good spirits because he had fallen asleep before, so it was natural that he did not fall asleep soon.
In the middle of the night, the sound of whining wind came from the back of the house.
The night breeze shuttling through the forest inevitably makes people feel a little cold.
Mysterious sounds can also be reminiscent of strange things.
Lin Yu looked at the window with great curiosity.
Suddenly, I found that there were many black shadows on the window, and they were all standing quietly, motionless looking at Lin Yu and the others inside through the curtains!
What the hell is this!
