I thought to myself, is my judgment wrong?
After waiting for more than ten minutes, I also jumped off the wall, saw no one around, and ran down to the west.
The street behind where I live runs from east to west.The road to the west is the road that Pang Dahai and I walked with those villagers yesterday, and along this road, we can find the Blood Spring River.
Now I don't know if it's right to go this way to find that Wang Po, so I can only observe the surrounding environment while walking.
And at this moment, there was a sound of footsteps from the village road behind me.
I was startled, and hurriedly turned around and looked behind me.
There was no one on the village road, but at the end of the village road, there was a faint light of fire.
I was startled, it couldn't be that Xu Changhe and his gang found me running out and chased after me, right?
Both sides of this village road are full of gravel and weeds. I panicked and plunged into the weeds in order to avoid the group of people.I squatted down, the wild grass was as tall as half a person, just enough to hide my body.
Not long after, the sound of footsteps was approaching, and he stopped when he reached the side of the road.
I gently pushed aside the weeds, and I could vaguely see the situation on the side of the road.At first glance, there could be seven or eight people standing on the side of the road, all carrying lanterns.
The leader seems to be Xu Changhe, followed by four people including Xu Ershu, and several other villagers.
Xu Ershu looked around for a while: "I just saw a figure clearly, why did it disappear when I got here?"
Xu Changhe asked: "Second Mouse, have you seen it clearly? Is it Young Master Yang?"
Xu Ershu spat: "Hey, what young master, you respect him as a young master, I don't recognize him. If you want to catch him according to my wishes, I don't believe that he doesn't follow our wishes? Let me remind you, we After waiting for 50 years, if we still fail to grasp this opportunity, we will pass this life in a muddle.”
Xu Meilu said from the side: "Forget it, now is not the time to talk about this, hurry up and find someone. Find him and study what to do."
Hearing their conversation, I felt even more guilty. These people really came to chase me.It seemed that the fat man hadn't been able to lure them away at all.
I turned around slightly, squatted down, and moved slowly into the grass under the cover of the weeds.
Fortunately, the wind is strong at night, blowing the weeds to this side, and I should not have attracted their attention when I moved inside.
When I was a distance away from the side of the road, I looked back and found that group of people standing on the side of the road looking in my direction.
Oops, found out.
My heart was cold, and I quickly stood up and ran.
"There's someone there, hurry up and chase after him."
The group of people on the side of the road ran down the grass one after another, chasing after me in my direction.At night, the group of people still became lively and vicious, all of them were vicious.
I know that if it falls into their hands this time, they probably won't be as polite to me as before.
When I looked up, I found several thatched cottages in front of me.
At the door of the thatched cottage, there are two white lanterns hanging.
I know that anyone with a white lantern hanging at the door must not be a normal house.But at this moment, I was already in a panic, I just thought about not being caught by Xu Changhe and his gang.
And if you run further, there is a steep mountain wall blocking the way, and there is no way to escape.
I could only bite the bullet, knocked open the door of the thatched cottage, and broke in.
Chapter 324
But as soon as I walked in, I felt something was wrong.
There was a stale smell in the room, and the temperature was four or five degrees lower than outside.
There was originally a candle lit in the room, but I rushed open the door, broke in, and shook the light of the candle a few times.The light in the room flickered on and off.
By the faint candlelight, I saw a Buddhist altar in the middle of the room.Due to the inertia of rushing in, I rushed to the front of the Buddhist altar all at once.
There is a small Buddha statue in the altar, which is only the size of a palm.
I just came face to face with the Buddha statue in the altar, and the distance was only a few tens of centimeters.
Against the backdrop of the candlelight, I clearly saw that the small Buddha statue turned out to be a monkey, and it was a monkey's mummy.
The monkey's eyes stared at me resentfully, I trembled when I saw it, and almost cried out.
I quickly avoided the monkey's gaze and glanced to the side.I found that there were still a lot of candles burning in the house. I wondered if it was the reason for the air leakage in these thatched cottages. The flames of those candles were constantly shaking.Make the light in the room appear erratic.
What is even more frightening is that there are no less than a dozen wooden beds in the room, and there is one person lying on each bed.Those people were motionless, and their bodies were covered with white sheets.
Seeing this, my heart trembled, this is clearly a place for mortuary.
At this time, there were footsteps and someone talking from outside the door.
"The figure flickered just now, did he come to Yizhuang?"
This is Old Dog Xu's voice.
My mind buzzed for a moment, it turned out that I ran into Yizhuang by mistake.
Although in modern society, there is no such place as Yizhuang.But as far as I know, Yizhuang existed very commonly in ancient times.Because Yizhuang is the place where coffins are stored.There are corpses in the coffins, most of which have not found a good place to be buried for a while, or the deceased died in a foreign country, and the family members are going to transport them back to the mainland for burial, or they are too poor to be buried, so they have to be temporarily placed in the Yizhuang.
To put it bluntly, Yizhuang is similar to the mortuary of our modern hospital.
I know that this person who guards the mountain village has not left the village for 50 years.So many customs in the village follow the tradition of 50 years ago.So it's not surprising that there is a place like Yizhuang in this village.
Obviously, those people lying on the wooden boards inside are all corpses.
Thinking of this gives me chills down my spine.But strange to say, my fear of these corpses is far less than that of those outside the house.
Although those people haven't done anything to me yet, subconsciously, these people are more terrifying than those lying corpses.
Hearing movement outside, I hurried inside.
But when I ran inside, I secretly complained.
This room is a closed space, except for a row of beds with dead bodies, there is no place to hide.When I ran here, I undoubtedly cut off my retreat.Xu Changhe and his gang, if they search here, they will catch me sooner or later.
I looked around, and unexpectedly found that there was an empty bed in the middle of those mortuary beds.
This bed seemed to be specially prepared for me. I didn't have time to think about it, so I just lay on it.
That bed was also extremely cold, which made me wonder if someone had been lying on it just now.Thinking of this, I feel even more empty, and feel like my heart is about to pop out.
I looked around and thought something was wrong.I'm lying here, and I'm not covered with that kind of white sheet. If Xu Changhe and others come in, they will probably notice me at a glance.
Thinking of this, I stretched out my hand and tore off the white sheet on the person lying next to me.
I was going to cover myself with the quilt to cover it up, but as soon as I pulled off the quilt, I saw the corpse lying there.It was no ordinary corpse, but a mummy.
The skin of the mummy's whole body was dark brown, and it was tightly bound to the body, and the skeleton in the body was clearly highlighted.
In addition, just for a while, I also found that the chest of the mummy was heaving and falling little by little.
How can this be?
The mummy has already become like that, there is no possibility that it is still alive, why does it still seem to be breathing?
What the hell is this place? Why are there so many weird and bizarre things happening?
Before I could see clearly, the outside door was pushed open, and the seven or eight people rushed into the room in one go.
Due to the large number of people, the blowing wind even blew out some candles in the house.
The light in the room dimmed instantly.
But this is just right, after the light is dark, I put the quilt over my body, and I can keep my eyes open, watching the movement of the door secretly without being noticed.
After I saw those people coming in, they first bowed to the small altar at the door and bowed three times, looking extremely devout.
After everyone had paid their respects, Xu Changhe and the others turned their gazes into the room.
I was nervous for a while, and quickly covered my face with a quilt secretly.
I heard footsteps coming from the door, and someone had already walked inside.You don't need to look to know that they must be looking at the corpse lying here now.
I tried to hold my breath, my heart was beating rapidly.
This feeling of waiting for someone to find out is simply too uncomfortable, too difficult.I could feel a layer of cold sweat on my body, and the sweat dripped down my cheeks and dripped onto the bed I was lying on.
There was a layer of cold sweat, and because the cold wind was blowing in the room, my body couldn't help shivering.
I try my best to control it. If I move at this time, it will definitely be in vain.
At this moment, a voice suddenly came from outside the door: "Crazy is not crazy, stupid is not stupid, ride a white horse all the way west, dust to dust, dust to dust, face the west to worship the Queen Mother..."
It was that crazy old lady, that is, the one who He Pang Dahai claimed to be Wang Po.
Immediately afterwards, Wang Po muttered: "Why is it so lively today? The patriarch doesn't usually come to this unlucky place... But I have agreed, my old lady has been guarding this Yizhuang, and nothing has happened for so many years. A large group of you went in, and I am not responsible for any accidents."
I didn't expect Wang Po's words to be quite effective. As soon as she finished speaking, everyone in the room left one after another and walked out of the room.
When I heard that they had all left, I breathed a sigh of relief and shivered a few times.
Who knew that my side fought a few cold wars unscrupulously, but a sneer came from beside me.
Too bad, there are still people who haven't gone out, I was discovered by him...
Chapter 325 The feeling of trust
In a panic, I subconsciously tore off the white cloth on my face and looked into the room.
As a result, after the man sneered, he didn't stay in the house, but turned around and walked towards the door.
When I looked over, the man had already walked to the door, and I only saw a faint figure from his back.The figure from the back is very thin, and the outline of the body looks like Xu Meilu.
I shook my head, this must be my misreading, Xu Meilu and Xu Changhe are in the same group, if she found out that I was here, she would have caught me out a long time ago.
Could it be that she went out to report to Xu Changhe and the others?
My heart was hanging, but after she went out, she didn't say much, and that group of people also stood outside.
This confuses me.Now I kind of understand why I subconsciously feel that these lying corpses are far less terrifying than the people in the village.Because the villagers in Shoushantun, what they show on the surface is often used to cover up their hearts.This will make you never guess what their hearts are thinking.
And such people are often the scariest.
The people in Shoushantun are like this. What they do on the surface and what they contact with me in private are two completely different people.
At this time, I listened carefully, and there was a conversation between Xu Changhe and the others and Wang Po from outside.
Xu Changhe asked: "Wang Po, what are you doing in the village instead of guarding Yizhuang recently?"
Wang Po sneered: "Old lady, I am also a keeper of Shantun. I have been guarding this Yizhuang for decades, and one day I will be guarding it until I lie there too. I can't even go out and have a look? How about Patriarch, do you want someone to guard?"
Xu Changhe laughed twice, but didn't answer again.
Xu Ershu asked from behind: "Mrs. Wang, did you see that kid from the Li family running over?"
Wang Po was stunned: "Boy from the Li family? Has someone come from the Li family? So, my Yizhuang is really guarded to the end? Where is he..."
Xu Meilu's voice: "Stop dawdling here, that kid might have already run back. Let's go to his place now, maybe we can stop him."
Xu Changhe said: "No, the rules of guarding the mountain can't be broken, we can't enter that house. Since there is no one here, let's go to other places to see, Wang Po, take good care of your Yizhuang. This concerns all of us in the village. .”
With that said, the footsteps of Xu Changhe and others gradually went away.
I heard the door knock, it must be Wang Po who came in.
I didn't know the details of Wang Po, so I quickly covered the white cloth again.I said in my heart that if there is any change, I will rush out by myself, presumably an old woman can't do anything to me.
Wang Po's footsteps were very light, moving over bit by bit until she stopped by the head of my bed.
Before I could react, Wang Po sneered: "Boy, come out. This bed is my old lady's bed. Thanks to those people who didn't notice this, otherwise they would have found you long ago."
I was shocked, and it turned out that this empty bed was slept by Wang Po.Good guy, this old lady is brave enough to sleep among these mummies every day without being afraid.
Being told that it was broken, I had no choice but to lift the quilt by myself and sit up from the bed.
There was an old woman standing by the bed, just like what I saw during the day, with disheveled white hair, hunched over, leaning on crutches, wearing ragged clothes, and the clothes were covered with colorful patches.At this time, he was staring at me with a pair of eyes.
Her body looks very weak, but the look of these eyes is very sharp.Even I can see two beams of light coming out of her eyes.It seems to be able to see through my heart, which is daunting.
I didn't dare to meet her eyes, so I quickly looked to the side.
As a result, I saw the mummy whose quilt I lifted off again, and couldn't help shivering again.
Wang Po spoke at this moment: "What? Grandson of Shoushan, are you so timid? Are you afraid of a corpse?"
"His...his chest..." I pointed to the mummy's chest, which could still be seen rising and falling slightly.
Not only that, but when I looked at the other corpses, the chests of those corpses covered with sheets, I could also see the sheets undulating slightly.Obviously all the corpses here are like this, how can they breathe?
"Don't worry. They are all dead, but the corpse gas in their bodies is sealed inside. Now their corpses are just a skin bag, and the corpse gas travels inside, and you will naturally see the chest moving." Wang Po explained .
