Chapter 75 Mother and Son (Please subscribe, please vote)
Not long after, the electric tricycle slowly drove out of the dark and humid forest path, and the view ahead gradually broadened.
He Wenzhi lowered his head and glanced at the black dog who was still opening his mouth to breathe.
But after the light came on, it seemed to lose its spooky feeling.
He Wenzhi looked around carefully.
Although they exited the trail, they were still surrounded by mountains and forests. The trees inside were dense and the shadows of the trees were so thick that you couldn't see the depth.
But there seems to be something hanging on those tree poles.
There are no trees on the outermost side, but there are trees further inside.
It’s just that the distance is too far and the light is too dark, so I can’t see very clearly.
Boom!
At this moment, there was another deafening thunder, and after the lightning flashed, big raindrops fell with crackling sounds.
It was originally a dirt road, but now it is raining heavily, making it even more difficult to walk on the muddy road.
We expected to arrive at around five o'clock, but in the end it was delayed until six o'clock.
It was raining heavily, and the raindrops somewhat obscured the view.
There are only twenty or thirty households in this village, which is not big.
The electric tricycle stopped in front of a two-story red brick house. This was my brother’s home.
He hurriedly waved He Wenzhi into the house, and the black dog was also shaking off the water under the eaves.
After the brother lit a stove, it lay down next to the stove.
He Wenzhi took a closer look. Isn’t this dog hot? Why did he come to warm himself by the fire?
"Young man, don't stand there!" The old man brought a small stool and placed it next to the stove: "You also come over quickly to warm yourself by the fire, and take off your wet clothes. Don't catch a cold.
I'm going to boil hot water for you now so you can take a bath. "
"Brother, don't bother, it will do it by itself in a while. "
"How can that be done! Nowadays, all the children in the city are very pampered. I brought you here, so you can’t have anything happen to me. ”
Without waiting for any question or refusal, the old man walked in directly and started to work.
“…”
He Wenzhi was helpless, but he just felt that this old man was really enthusiastic.
He sat by the fire for a while, and the black dog lay beside him, looking at him with two eyes.
Following that, he stood up and walked to the eaves at the door to look at the environment of the village.
Maybe it was still early and it was raining heavily, so no one could be seen.
After a while, the hot water was boiled, and the elder brother urged He Wenzhi to take a bath quickly.
He Wenzhi couldn't resist, so he had to wash and put on his dried clothes.
While taking a shower, my brother also prepared some hot meals. When he saw He Wenzhi coming out, he greeted him warmly.
“There’s not much good food in the countryside, so just eat whatever you want.” The old man smiled and said, “I don’t think the rain will stop for a while, and your car is outside.
The road here is muddy and difficult to walk on. , I probably won’t be able to go back for a while, so you might as well sit here and wait for the rain to stop before making any plans.”
He Wenzhi nodded: “Don’t worry, I’m still looking for you. Where is that friend?”
"Your friend? When did he come?" The old man was curious and asked: "Is he still in the village?"
"He should be here, he came a few days ago." He Wenzhi said, describing After looking at Taoist Wang’s appearance, he said, “It looks a bit wretched, and he is probably wearing a Faded Taoist robe."
The old man thought for a while and said, "There seems to be such a person, but he left the day before yesterday evening!"
"He left the day before yesterday! ?" He Wenzhi hesitated, the positioning was received last night!
And I also checked the time displayed on it, it was around three o'clock last night.
"Young man, it's raining now. When it stops, I'll take you there to ask." The old man looked out the window and pointed to a house with mud walls in the village: "The man lived there for two days at that time. "
He Wenzhi nodded, reached into his trouser pocket and took out several hundred dollars.
"Brother, I can't eat and drink at your place for free. I only have five hundred yuan in cash with me. You can take it first. Maybe I will stay at your place for two days. ”
Because it rained, the money also got wet. Although it is dry now, it is wrinkled.
My brother shied away: "It's okay, why are you so polite! I'm at home alone anyway, so you can still be my companion here. If it's okay, we can chat and have a couple of drinks.< br>
Mainly because my dog likes you too! This is the first time I've seen it take the initiative to put its head out for people to touch. "
The old man said, looking at the black dog lying next to him with a smile.
At this time, the black dog was still looking at He Wenzhi, as if he really liked him. , looking very curious
“It’s never been like this before? ”
“Never, I’ve had him for several years, this is the first time I’ve seen him! ”
He Wenzhi thought about it and found that he couldn't tell what was different about this dog. Moreover, he had tested it before and found that there was no evil spirit.
He shook his head and decided not to think about it first, and then he forced the money into his brother's hand.
He needs food and accommodation next, and he doesn’t want to owe any favors.
In the message I received last night, my brother said that Taoist Wang left the day before yesterday. There seems to be something wrong with this.
And it is already certain that there must be a ghost here, but I don’t know where yet.
Since we can't find Daochang Wang at the moment, we can only spend some time to see where the problem lies.
He Wenzhi thought for a while and said, "Brother, our village has a lot of history, right?"
"There was really a lot back then."
< br>"Is there any legend or something like that in the village?"
Currently, he had no clue, so He asked and wondered if he could start from the local legends.
What if?
The old man thought for a while: "I heard my grandfather say it before. Our village used to be called Taoyuan Village, which is the Taoyuan in Paradise.
At that time, many people would come to our village. , when I came, I felt happy and didn’t want to leave. But later, I don’t know what happened. Those people stopped coming, and in the end the village was renamed Guangming Village.”
“Is there anything else?” He Wenzhi thought this. The legend is not interesting and cannot be used to infer the ghosts in this village.
He said: "Brother, do you have any weird and scary stories?"
"Are you talking about horror stories? Do you still like this?"
"Yeah." He Wenzhi nodded, looking very curious.
"Let me think about it." The old man thought for a moment and seemed to have thought of something.
"This story was also told by my grandfather, but I don't know if it is true or not." The old man spoke slowly.
That was a long time ago. At that time, life was not easy for everyone, and there was famine. It was common for people to eat one meal but not another.
The worst cases may not be able to eat a grain of rice for several days.
In that case, whoever’s family has more people will be a burden.
At that time, there was a couple who gave birth to seven children at home. There was a famine. The mother couldn't eat enough. She was so thin that she was just skin and bones. How could she still have milk to feed the children.
Her husband will think of a way at first. The oldest child in the family is four or five years old, so he can help with some work.
The family is hardworking and can barely get by.
But later on, the man couldn't bear it anymore, and he felt that these children were a burden, a burden, and a drag.
So one night, he secretly went out with several nursing children in his arms. When he came back, he was alone.
The woman found out that her child was gone, so she searched everywhere like crazy, going from house to house asking if she had seen her child.
Later, several other children disappeared, leaving only a four or five-year-old child.
The woman was afraid that her last child would be lost, so she kept him with her all day long. Until then, the boy told the woman that one night he could see the man carrying his younger brother and sister out. Then only the man himself came back, and none of his younger brothers and sisters came back.
Hearing this, the woman froze. There was disbelief in her eyes, but she also revealed madness.
She told the child it would be okay and everything would be fine.
Just like that, the man disappeared the next day.
In the original family of nine, only the mother and son, the woman and the little boy, were left.
It was just that it was too difficult for a woman to feed a child in a year of famine. As luck would have it, winter came very quickly that year, and it rained heavily. Unprecedented heavy snow.
After the heavy snow, the mother and son also disappeared...
Perhaps they were unable to withstand the severe cold and froze to death, and were finally submerged in the heavy snow.
In short, we don’t know where the mother and son went in the end, whether they were dead or not.
"What about the six children in front?" He Wenzhi asked: "Were they sold or...?"
The old man thought for a while and said: "Me neither I don’t know if they were sold. But according to the rumors in the village, it was said that those children were killed by that man..."
The old man couldn't help but sigh.
As the saying goes, a tiger’s poison cannot eat its seeds.
But we have really reached that age and period...
"I don't know exactly where he died. Some say he was thrown into a well by a man and drowned, and some say he was thrown into a well by a man and drowned. He said he was sent to the woods and hanged."
The old man looked at the well in the village and then at the mountains and forests surrounding the village.
"Since then, a strange thing has been circulating in the village..."
In the middle of the night, the sound of a baby crying can be heard from the well.
In the middle of the night, you will see a scrawny woman with a disheveled hair and a four or five-year-old child wandering in the woods, as if looking for something.
The old man pointed to the forest and said: "Now you can see a lot of plastic bags and snakeskin bags hanging on the trees in those woods. Some people say that they contain children.
In fact, that is not the case at all. It is just a custom in our village. When some animals die, their bodies cannot be allowed to touch the ground. They can only be put into bags and hung high.
There was definitely no way to hang them in the village, so they were hung in the woods. ”
He Wenzhi realized clearly that when he entered the village, the hanging things he saw deep in the forest were animal carcasses?
Follow him and touch them I touched my chin and analyzed the story just now.
This is the second update today. Then I would like to say that I will update these two chapters today. I have guaranteed two updates every day, and I have not broken my promise. As for the third chapter, I will not add it today. I feel that the state today is not very good. , my neck hurts too, I’m sorry.
