Chapter 54, The Legend of Locust Town
Twelve o'clock in the night.
Everything is silent and unsettling.
Liu Fei tossed and turned, his brain was unusually clear, and his mind kept flashing the picture of the woman's death during the day and the street that he would never be able to get out of.
I remembered the red evil spirit I bought at a high price.
The more intimate one, with lace trims.
I turned over and touched it, but it was okay...... This thing is still there.
The later it was, the more he couldn't sleep, and Liu Fei, who was in a depressed mood, got up and smoked a cigarette, then came to the window and opened the window to breathe.
There seemed to be someone in the building opposite who couldn't sleep like him, and opened the window in the middle of the night to breathe.
Originally, Liu Fei didn't take it seriously, until after smoking a cigarette, he found that the figure on the other side was still there, and it seemed to maintain a motionless posture from beginning to end, which was suddenly a little strange.
At this time, the moonlight pierced the clouds and shone on the opposite side.
Liu Fei's brain was hit hard, and he quickly closed the curtains.
He could see the man standing at the window across from him very clearly.
A phrase kept coming to mind.
Is it...... That's it......
It's not a human on the other side, it's a humanoid wooden carving!
He was staring at himself eerily.
Liu Fei's heart was beating wildly, and his blood pressure soared.
A minute later, the situation eased slightly, Liu Fei's head was full of the previous figure, obviously he was terrified, but there was always a voice in his heart bewitching him.
Take another look to see if the other party is still there.
Liu Fei cautiously reached out and grabbed the curtain, the whole person was tense, and slowly poked his head out, revealing only one eye, vigilantly observing the other side.
Luckily, there was nothing on the other side.
I should be too nervous, causing dizziness.
The hanging stone in my heart finally fell.
Suddenly, there was movement on the other side!
One hand tugged at the curtain, and a head stuck out of the corner.
The wooden eyes, which resembled a real person, were staring at him.
It...... It's peeking at itself, it's learning itself!
Liu Fei's face turned pale, he staggered back to the ground, and almost at the same time, he heard the sound of a heavy object falling to the ground on the opposite side very clearly.
Crawling and shrinking into the quilt, Liu Fei trembled, thinking of the evil spirit-warding Dingxi, he hurriedly grasped it tightly in his hand, and kept praying for the blessing of the gods in his heart.
It seems that this prayer has been answered.
Nothing happened for the next half hour.
Just when Liu Fei lifted the quilt and wanted to take a breath.
A pair of wooden hands slowly slid along the edge of the bed towards his head.
The moonlight was once again obscured by dark clouds, and the lights on both sides of the street flickered constantly, as if they would go out at any moment.
A vague figure moved.
This person was Lu Yue, and it was late at night when he returned to the hotel.
In the end, he didn't find out where the stench was coming from.
Suddenly, Lu Yue raised his head and looked at a certain room.
The window in that room was open.
“………”
Early the next morning.
"Dead again!"
"Die in your own room!"
"There are ghosts...... There must be ghosts here!!! ”
With screams piercing the sky, countless hurried footsteps rang out in the corridors, followed by the frantic flight of the surrounding tourists.
When Lu Yue arrived at the scene, his expression was solemn, because this was the room he saw last night without closing the windows.
The deceased was killed in his bed.
Like the woman at the beginning, the bread expression was distorted, the dead fish eyes were flashing, and a pair of hands could be clearly seen around the eye sockets.
And the other party tightly dragged the red lace to ward off evil in his hand.
But it apparently didn't save his life!
Alarm...... Still no response.
“……”
In the end, the residents on the street decided to temporarily store the body and the one from yesterday together after discussion, and wait for the phone to be called and let the people from the Public Security Bureau come and deal with it.
The oppressive atmosphere of the scene was suffocating, and fear was invisibly approaching.
All the tourists gathered together and began to figure out what to do.
Suddenly, one of the spectacled tourists said, "Before I came, I swiped a story about the town of Locust Tree, which seems to be related to this wood carving." ”
"I heard that the town of locust tree is famous for hand-carving, and some wood carvings are produced here, and it is said that these puppets are made of locust wood, do you know what locust wood is?"
This aroused everyone's curiosity.
"Locust tree, add a ghost word next to the wooden word, so locust wood is also called ghost wood, the five elements belong to yin, the legend can be attached to ghosts, folk rumors, there is a locust in front of the house, and a hundred ghosts walk at night!"
"Dolls made of old locust wood have some spirituality in themselves, and when they look at humans for a long time, they will give birth to sanity over time, and they will imitate human behavior until they completely replace humans, and the replaced person will only have a dead end."
When everyone heard this, they gasped and felt their scalps tingle.
This is similar to the story told by Aunt Li!
"Wood carving comes alive...... All are going to die...... Get out of here...... Woohoo......"
This familiar voice is the crazy woman again.
"She must know something, do you want to ask her?"
However, like Lu Yue, no matter how everyone asked, the other party was like he was really crazy, and he couldn't get any information out.
Everyone was worried about their safety, and no one wanted to touch this crazy woman deeply, so they could only let her run crazy through the streets.
"By the way, we can ask the landlord!" Suddenly, someone remembered Aunt Li, a local.
It just so happened that at this time, Aunt Li also walked out with a broom to clean.
Faced with everyone's inquiry, Aunt Li put down the broom in her hand.
"In the past, there was a locust forest behind this old street, and people often disappeared, but more than ten years ago, some leaders from above came to inspect and gave orders to bulldoze all those places, and now we use some mahogany, elm, and rosewood pulled from other places......
“……”
Unable to get an answer, the crowd was demoralized.
At this time, a man who looked like a successful person saw that his morale was low and immediately stood up.
"Guys, we can't sit still, we have to find a way to get out during the day anyway...... We're all holding hands, and if anyone has a wire that can be taken out, I don't believe we can't leave here. ”
This proposal was very well received.
Holding together in times of danger can undoubtedly boost morale.
On the side, Lu Yue looked at Aunt Li and fell into deep thought, he naturally heard about these things in Huaishu Town.
In these years, there are no legends related to the supernatural aspect in anyone's township, and Lu Yue heard that there were mass graves under the locust forest when he was a child.
I have also heard about the bulldozing of the locust forest.
However, at this time, Lu Yue's focus was not here, but on Aunt Li.
Obviously, there was a murder case in his hotel, but the other party seemed to be a little too calm, not only that...... And these enthusiastic residents around.
"Aunt Li, I'll help you sweep the floor."
Lu Yue decided to start the mode of helping others again, helping with housework while searching for more information, and at the same time testing Aunt Li.
But in the end, nothing was found, and Aunt Li had no problem.
Even those residents have no problem.
Where the hell is this ghost?!!!
At this time, a tourist asked if Lu Yue acted together, and Lu Yue accepted the matter after thinking about it for a while.
There is a benefit to following the crowd.
That is the ghost behind the scenes, but if he makes a move, he will definitely let it know what kind of consequences he will suffer if he stops himself from worshipping his ancestors.
In his hometown, he can still make ghosts so rampant?!!!
