getting into desperation

It rained heavily for three consecutive days, and it was not until the fourth day that the sky was covered with blood.

"Brother Changyu, do you really want to accompany me to find my father?" The little boy in front of him holding two peanuts is the enviable young boy who just entered the village that day. He was opening those two innocent big eyes, questioning Chang Yu uncertainly.

Chang Yu squatted down, smiled and said, "Of course, brother will do what he says."

The child jumped up happily: "Okay, thank you Brother Changyu."

Three nights ago, the heavy rain hadn't stopped yet, and the rainwater was slapping eagerly on the umbrella with the sound of knocking on the door, "Aunt Hua, Aunt Hua." The child under the umbrella stood next to the crack of the door and ran over with a smile woman, shouted.

When the woman heard the voice, her frowning brows were instantly smoothed away, and she pouted and opened the door: "Why are you a little guy? You didn't let your father cook for you this early in the morning, so you wanted to visit Aunt Hua to play Son?"

Hearing this, the child shook his head vigorously: "No, I came here to ask Aunt Hua, do you know where my father is? He went out to find something last night, but I don't know why, my father is now I haven't come back yet, so I want to ask you, do you know where my father is?"

The woman was stunned for a moment, then pointed forward: "It should be at Uncle Li's house. When I closed the door last night, I seemed to see your father going in that direction." The child just turned around and took two steps, the woman hurriedly called him, "Hey, that's all, I'll take you with me, it's raining so hard, I don't worry about you going alone."

The child turned his head and smiled: "Okay, thank you, Aunt Hua."

When the two of them held an umbrella and the other turned on the lamp, when they walked to the door of Uncle Li's house, Aunt Hua was the first to see the light red liquid on the ground that looked like water but not water, and hurriedly covered Xiaoge's eyes, "Aunt Hua, cover my eyes and do this!" what?"

Aunt Hua's eyes were red and trembling slightly: "Ah? Haha, Auntie was just joking, your father didn't come to Uncle Li's house, what's the matter, was Auntie Hua tricked me?" Even her voice was trembling.

"Well, I was really deceived." The tone was a little lost, and then asked: "Then Aunt Hua, where is my father?"

Aunt Hua glanced around while she was crying, she was suddenly taken aback, she trembled even more when she realized it, and smiled wryly: "Hey, Xiao Ge, do you still remember those two brothers who just came to the village?"

Xiaoge nodded: "Remember, is my father at their house?"

Aunt Hua closed her eyes and nodded vigorously: "Yes, right there! Aunt Hua will take you there."

"Okay." The two walked for a while, Xiaoge couldn't bear it anymore, and asked, "Aunt Hua, why are you still covering my eyes? I can't see the way, and I have stepped on many small puddles .”

"Haha, me, I want to play hide-and-seek with Xiaoge. When I get to my brother's house later, Aunt Hua will put her hand down." The laughter was so trembling, it sounded like crying.

"Oh." After walking for a while, Xiaoge asked again: "Aunt Hua, is there someone beside you? He stepped on more puddles than me, and he's too stupid, hahahaha."

Aunt Hua opened her eyes wide and looked at the red-eyed man next to her, then hurriedly looked at Xiaoge, crying and laughing tremblingly, "Ha, yes, no, you're so stupid."

"Aunt Hua, who is he then?"

"Hey, you don't know him. I don't know him either. He's just a kind-hearted man who wanted to see us off."

Hearing this, Xiao Ge smiled and said, "Really? He is really kind, just as good as my father."

Suddenly there was a wail from the side, "Wonderful sound!" Aunt Hua's hand moved away from Xiaoge's eyes, and just as Xiaoge was about to look back, Aunt Hua pushed hard and pushed him into an alley.

Aunt Hua's voice came from behind: "Xiao Ge, turn right, there is a very dilapidated mansion, your father is waiting for you there, hurry up and find him, Aunt Hua is leaving first."

"Okay, thank you Hua—" I turned my head to see that there was no one there: "Where is Aunt Hua?"

Chang Yu stood on Xiaoge's left, Tang Feiyang stood on Xiaoge's right, and the three of them walked to Xiaoge's house together, wanting to see if his father had left any letters, but found nothing.When he returned to the house, Xiaoge said he wanted to thank Aunt Hua, and hurried to Aunt Hua's house, but Aunt Hua's house was empty.Xiaoge thought of Uncle Li and went to Uncle Li's house, but it turned out that Uncle Li's home was also in the same situation.

Chang Yu and Tang Feiyang frowned and looked at each other. It's normal for a person to leave for a long time and not come back.But these three people... and a middle-aged man, two elderly people, disappeared together?This is so strange.

Tang Feiyang only felt that the clothes thrown on the ground were strange. He walked into Uncle Li's courtyard and picked up the torn piece of "clothes". The feeling... Tang Feiyang frowned and buried the "clothes" in the soil. Who did it this time?Is it still her?Not necessarily, she definitely couldn't do such a bloody thing.

Tang Feiyang shook his head lightly twice. Why on earth did he feel that the man couldn't do such a bloody thing?She has done all the things of hanging people's heads, so what's the point of peeling people's skins?

Even though he thought so, Tang Feiyang subconsciously ruled out that person.

The three of them walked around the village, but Xiao Ge's father couldn't find it, but he heard anecdotes about the past few days.It's kind of weird to say, except for Aunt Hua, Uncle Li and Daddy Xiaoge, the people in the village also disappeared three families for no reason. A total of more than a dozen people were all missing after the heavy rain.

Before the two said anything, the villagers in the village made a mess of themselves, kneeling down to the two of them one by one.It would be fine if it was other people, but all the old people in the village who knelt down, this really upset the two of them, they quickly helped them up, but who would have thought that they hugged them again.

"You are the only ones who can survive living in that house, please save us, if not, we will all die, please save us."

Afterwards, all I heard were calls for help. Tang Feiyang didn't understand, so it was Sanyu who discovered something these days: "Whose way are you following? Otherwise, we would definitely not be allowed to enter the village?"

For the past few days, Chang Yu has been thinking, why did the villagers let them live in this house?In the end, there was only one thing left, which was that someone said something to them.And what he said was obviously in Sanyu's expectation.

"You, you know? Yes, a few days ago, just the day before you came, a woman in a red cloak brought us news that two foreigners would come here, and that... It will bring us good news, such as lifting the curse on that house. Whether it is true or not, you will know when you live in it, and in the end, you are really safe and sound. That’s how things are, so please save us.”

Chang Yu didn't answer their words, but followed his own thoughts and asked: "Three years ago, when you first discovered the curse of the house, was the situation exactly the same as it is now?"

Everyone in the village nodded.Chang Yu then asked: "Three years ago, did that woman in the red cloak also come here?"

The people in the village looked at each other, and said one by one: "How can we find this out? Three years ago, before the curse was born, our place was very lively, and foreigners came here one after another. Well, even if it's really strange People, we can't find it either."

"Yes, yes. At that time, there were so many people in our village that we couldn't squeeze them in. Everyone lived happily and happily. Who has the time to care whether someone is wearing a red cloak or not?"

"Besides, even if there was a person wearing a red cloak at that time, that person was crowded and carried, walking shoulder to shoulder. If you don't look carefully, you can't see it at all."

The following one after another said, making the whole street very lively.

Tang Feiyang scratched his head, told everyone to stop talking, and asked, "Three years ago, did they disappear like today?"

"Not all. It was just missing. But later... then it changed, it became serious, and the curse deepened."

Tang Feiyang frowned: "Deepened? Who died after deepening?"

The old woman shook her head: "It's not just a dead person, it can eat people! Layers of skin are peeled off the person's body, the bones are broken and cracked, and the flesh of the person is placed next to the skin piece by piece. The meat had been inspected by the hands of the foreman, and the foreman said at a glance that the meat...was directly grabbed from the human body one by one, with different shades and sizes, and the wounds were the same, just scratched off with his fingernails Yes. Oh, you didn’t see that scene, there was meat and blood everywhere, even the most dead people we have seen in our village couldn’t help but shudder!”

Tang Feiyang thought of the skin in Uncle Li's house, and nodded.Sure enough, it was no different from his guess.It's just that the meat, bones and so on, I'm afraid they were washed away by the rain.

Tang Feiyang looked at them: "You didn't take any measures? For example, find this person?"

The old woman sighed: "Who didn't think of a way? I have thought about everything that should be thought. No one in our village has long nails! People from other places are here to play, and if something happens, they all leave. We don't know if there are real murderers hidden among these foreigners. We also thought of this possibility. After the group of foreigners left, we sealed off the village. But despite this, people will still die. In fact, we didn’t tell you the truth at the time. In terms of murder, not only that house, but this village is considered a murderous village. But only that house killed more than five people on the same spot! Yes, not just three. If it’s true It’s just that three foreigners died, so we won’t be so scared anymore.”

Chang Yu blinked: "More than five?"

The old woman took a deep breath: "31, because when more than five people died in that house, the house was free to live in, and many people were greedy for this small gain, and those homeless people also went. As a result …None of them came out alive. No, one of them came out alive. The scene was the same as when you first moved in, with a human head hanging, maybe it’s not really hanging, the head was thrown by the murderer by mistake Yes, at the end when we all went to see it together, the head fell off because of the shock, and the two of us were not in good spirits. Hey, during that period of time, the life we ​​all lived was more than that. It’s scary, some of them hanged themselves directly, and the meaning written in the suicide note is almost all: at least leave a whole body! Hey, just thinking about it, I almost can’t breathe now. At that time Almost, almost, our village is going to jump off the cliff together hand in hand. Hey! It's really scary."
