Chapter 7: The Ones Ahead

After two days in the village, this is the second house with an open gate in the village that I have ever seen.

There was already a circle of people outside the gate.

Seeing the village chief coming, everyone quickly made way of the way. Huang Ye and I also entered the house with the village chief.

Two or three strong men and two old men in the house gathered around the bed in the inner room. And there was a person on the bed who was covered with a sheet, tied with straw rope like a rice dumpling, and his mouth kept screaming. The voice was like that of a beast, unusually hoarse and unpleasant.

"Hold the person down, untie it and look at it." The village chief gestured to a few strong men.

Several people began to divide the labor, pressing arms and legs. The name of the village that ran to call people before began to untie the ropes.

As soon as the straw rope was loosened, the woman who was tied up struggled violently.

Those strong men almost didn't hold the woman down.

finally tore off the sheet, and found that the woman's hair was disheveled, her nose and mouth were covered with blood, and her whole face was horribly white.

The moment I saw the woman, I felt like I had been pointed, and I couldn't move.

Fortunately, Huang Ye, who was traveling with me, noticed the abnormality and patted me on the shoulder twice.

I escaped from the nightmarish sensation and gasped for air.

The woman was still struggling and screaming, and the village chief had her mouth and nose gagged with a towel and tied up again. Then, several people carried the woman out the door. Looking at their familiarity, they knew that there was more to this than what was going on in this village.

When we wanted to continue following them to see where they went, we were stopped by the village chief.

"Those two are responsible for going out to buy groceries, and they definitely can't go now, so I can only trouble the two of you to run." After the village chief finished speaking, he took out a wad of money from the inside pocket of his jacket and stuffed it into my hand.

Regardless of whether I said yes or not, he turned around and ran over there.

Looking at the pile of money in his hand, he felt a little emotional, this was still the account of Lao Wang at that time, but he didn't expect it to be spent on him again.

When I left the village, I passed by the big soaphorn tree again.

Only this time, I didn't see the old man with a furrow on his face again.

When I arrived outside the village, Huang Ye asked me what was going on just now.

"Master Huang, I beat those two paper figures last night, did you take a closer look?" I said with a solemn face, "That woman's face just now looks very similar to that paper figure." Especially the corner of the mouth is injured, which is exactly the same as the paper man, and was smashed with a fist. ”

"So you suspect that the woman is the paper man?"

"Or maybe it's just a coincidence." I'm still not sure about Huang Ye's statement.

"Don't forget, when we came back last night, something was with us."

Huang Ye's words surprised me, could it be that the paper man who followed us?

But the woman who was tied up just now was definitely a person. If it was a paper figure, if it was tossed like before, it would have been rotten a long time ago.

"If you want to be a real paper person, it's easy to do." Huang Ye sighed and began to pull the driver we came to call.

When I got to the place where I was separated last time, I waited for nearly an hour before the driver came.

Seeing the two of us standing there intact, my face was full of surprise.

So after we got in the car, he started asking questions curiously.

Huang Ye leaned back in his chair, looking like he didn't care about himself. The long-winded and curious driver master will leave it to me to deal with.

There are a lot of things I don't understand, and I don't have the heart to care about his questions.

It's just that he was too annoying, so he casually talked about a few places in the village. Seeing the satisfied smile on his face, they knew that this guy had the capital to brag about in their circles again.

"You two are still the first time I have seen entering that village, and you can come out well." The driver sighed.

Hearing this, Huang Ye suddenly opened his eyes, frowned and asked, "Have you seen other people go in?" ”

"There have been several waves of people who have entered this ditch over the years, and there have been waves of people who have gone to that village. I don't know if the others went, but if they went in anyway, they didn't see anyone come out. Didn't you say that there was a driver who was crazy last time, and the person he pulled entered Shamen Village. None of the others came out except himself. ”

That's why Salmen Village is a disincentive for these sports car drivers.

"Can their people come out?" I'm very curious about this.

There seem to be at least dozens of families in the village, what if they don't leave the village for their daily necessities?

And most importantly, there is electricity in the village.

Although there is no TV in the village chief's house or the villager's house today, the electricity means that there must be contact with the outside world.

"It's out, they all look the same, who knows where it's from."

"That crazy one, why the hell is he crazy?" Hearing me ask, the driver began to get excited.

As he drove, he lowered his voice and teased us: "Actually, the crazy driver is not far from our village. At that time, I came to this village because of the money given by those people. ”

"I could have gone back and forth in half a day, but that guy didn't go back for three days."

"My family asked everywhere, and even went to the police station and the hospital, thinking that there had been a car accident."

"In the end, I found out that the people went to Shamen Village."

"Although they are afraid of this place, they can't help but look for it if they lose it, so they asked a large group of people to come and look for them."

"Before you enter the village, there is a slope just before I go to pick you up, and you can see it when you come out of it. That's where the man was found. ”

"I'll tell you, when people find it, they went crazy, and they heard that their noses, mouths, eyes, and ears were stuffed with loess, and they stuffed them into one by one."

"When I first found it, I thought it was evil, and I found several gentlemen, and I spent a lot of money, but I didn't look good."

"In the end, the man was sent to an insane asylum."

If it weren't for the bad road conditions out of the village, I felt that the driver would definitely dance when he spoke.

Gossip is human nature, but I have never seen a man who can gossip like this.

"You know why people are crazy, don't you?" He probably felt a sense of accomplishment when he saw my curious look, and then he went on to ask me.

"How mad?" I cooperated with him and asked.

"Seeing a good person in broad daylight and turning into a paper man, can he not go crazy? If I did, I would have died of fear there. ”

Hearing this, I jerked my head up and looked at the driver who was driving.

Huang Ye next to me was surprisingly consistent with my movements.

The driver looked more satisfied when he saw our reactions, and then continued to drive his car humming a little song.

"Isn't that paper man, like that in front of you?" Huang Ye walked to the side of the road and said to the driver.
