Chapter 179 Situation
I looked at her dark yellow face, although the words were as if they had been said mindlessly, but there was no reason to lie right off the bat. When she saw that I didn't say anything, she raised her eyebrows and said, "You city people, don't believe it yet. We're weird here, that's what you say that two people, last time to come also like you, in the end is not Baba believe.
I nodded as if I didn't understand anything, and really wanted to tell him that there was a hanged man sitting in our car. Then I saw her greet us and say, "What are you waiting for, quickly call those people in the car to come to the house.
I heard this, quickly ran to the car, the woman's words with Lin Tian they said, a few people are silent for a moment, but coincidentally towards Xia Ruxuan looked over, so he froze, said you look at me to do what, this place is haunted, and I have nothing to do with it ah, at most …… may be I will be here to lead the dirty things over.
Ding Ding laughed and said Who led to who is responsible, we don t care.
As soon as his words fell, the hanged ghost also nodded in agreement. In the end, it was Lin Tian who growled and said Stop it! You look at this place, now the sky is almost dark, but the road is not even a little street lamps, not to mention the silhouette of the people, look and feel very strange. What we now get off, listen to others say how to do how to do. Be born again things.
I nodded, took out the luggage from the trunk, a few people divided up, carried towards the woman's home.
Into the house to see, I realized that this place is bigger than we want to think about, only the frontage is small, there is a yard inside, a few rooms, the arrangement of things like a farmhouse, but the days should be good.
The woman shouted toward the house, the inner room ran out of a grade and her similar man, looks very simple, face has been with that kind of naive smile, want to say hello to us, but seems to think that the handshake is polite, seems to be very formal.
The woman greeted her man and said, "Don't just stand here, go and clean out the room so that others can rest. Her man nodded repeatedly, and went to busy himself.
This woman let us call him Aunt Huang, greeted us to sit down, laughed and said, some days ago that the old man came to give us account, said there are a few guys to come, temporarily live in our place, I waited for a few days, but also thought about when you guys arrived, the results came today.
She said in her mouth that the old man, it is estimated that my father, of course, from the appearance, it is indeed older than her to a generation, we listened to her, did not do a sound.
From her account I realized that a few days before we came, my dad and Tan Lan went into the mountains, gave them both a sum of money, but did not explain when they would return. I thought to myself that they had gone to study the situation of the underground palace and would not be able to return for a while. They also did not explain to us what to do, I do not know whether to wait here, or also into the mountains to find them.
I thought for a while, said to her, Auntie Huang, you feel quite strange here, if not no inn to accept us, but also this is not easy to find you here.
When she heard this, her body suddenly a jolt, busy lowered his voice and said, this is in our this should not be said to outsiders, but you live in my home, I have to give you a reminder. We are in a small township and small land, there are not many inns, and usually no one will come. But they do this sound has a rule, that is, every day after the sun goes down, to the outsiders, no matter how much money the guests pay, but also absolutely do not do this business.
Lin Tian was surprised to look at me, and then asked her again, saying what is the reason for this? Because it is haunted?
Auntie Huang took a grassy knoll and sat down next to me, said it is not! This rule, I do not know how many years, never changed. I used to wonder, and then the old Wang family in front of things, I also understand.
Aunt Huang said this old Wang's family, originally also opened the inn. But in fact is only a house a wooden bed kind of, the environment is very ordinary, can only be considered a place for people to sleep. Their small place, the road and far, located in the mountains, was very remote, usually there will not be any outsiders to. These inns, almost to the night outside to play, can not return home to those punks prepared, and do not know people absolutely do not allow to live.
For some time the old Wang family has been little business, the family usually do not care about the fields, poor almost can not uncover the pot. The old king is suffering, do not want to one night, there are two men looking to stay, the old king began to refuse as before, the two men also relentless, and willing to pay more money. Lao Wang thought of the situation at home, see the money and quite a lot of money, the heart of an itch, it broke the rules to agree.
Which know that night, their family raised poultry are all dead, there is a wound on the neck, blood, the old king in the morning to see the scene, the whole person is stunned. But he didn't think much of it at first, just thought it was some kind of animal that had run into the house, but after looking around, he couldn't find any clues. Here is being heartbroken, remembering that he had just come into a sum of money last night, and this kind of thing happened in the house, he thought in his heart that he had broken the rules and invited retribution, so he wanted to let those two people leave earlier.
But Lao Wang knocked on the door outside their room for a long time, there is no reply. His heart suspicion up, open the door to go in, immediately pushed the fear of soft. This room, the wall on the ground, everywhere is blood, bedding sheets and what are torn out of shape, haphazardly thrown all over the place. Waiting for him to come back to his senses, run the counter to see, only to realize that he received last night, but all of them are some burned to the dead yellow paper.
Because of this incident, the town is everywhere in fear, the old king later fell ill, almost even lost his life, and finally the business is not done, closed the door to replanting, once the day is dark, do not dare to go out.
Auntie Huang told this story on one side, one side of the hand, said that this place is not once or twice the people encounter ghosts and monsters, in addition to some of itself is not willing to believe in evil, do not hit the south wall does not turn back other than the old generation of the night almost do not dare to go out.
I thought to myself that those ghosts don't come to look for trouble, otherwise what is the difference between day and night. However, she said this situation, but caused me not small interest, I have not seen want this town so strange place it.
Aunt Huang look at us are a look of unconcerned expression, but also a long explanation, said you young people that, what is in the heart of what I am aware of, can be long careful it, do not feel curious to find themselves uninteresting.
The four of us nodded repeatedly, but I bet no one took her words to heart. When Auntie Huang left to see her man clean up the inner room, we had a joint discussion.
Xia Ruxuan pulled me and said Cousin, I'll sleep with you tonight, you have a soul invoking bell, when the time comes to attract something, then you'll have to help me.
I smiled bitterly, I do not know when my role from a protected to protect others to go, and to attract some small souls and small ghosts and so on I may not be okay, to a powerful point. I can only say that I am unable to deal with it. Still have to find Ding Ding.
Lin Tian, the three of us were all talking hot, but Ding Ding was uncharacteristically silent. I used my hand to corner him and asked him what he was thinking.
He beeped, then said, I was thinking, what the hell is this still play this kind of killing animals to scare people, this is how boring the death of people to do this kind of thing?
I said maybe it's a hungry ghost, hungry and then killed the animal ready to eat, like the hungry ghost that stole my noodles in my house before.
But Dingding gave me a blank look and said that according to that woman's description, if it was really a hungry ghost, it would be so ferocious that it could directly eat people. Which still have the heart to cheat people.
I'm too lazy to debate with him, after all, I can't say he, only waved his hand, just at this time, Auntie Huang's two families came over, said the room has been prepared for us, today is a little hasty, will sleep for the night, tomorrow in the good clean up for us.
We thanked her one by one, and entered the room to take a look, only to find that it is not too bad, basically the things that have all the things, as if the farmhouse like, to there are a few rustic flavor.
Auntie Huang is full of smiles, asked us how it is?
I nodded my head and said it was already very good. The smile on her face can not help but get a few points, and we politely a few words, then left us out.
I to the bed a lie, feel comfortable to death, this period of time to catch the road, tired of my bones are almost scattered, Lin Tian is not accustomed to this kind of house, a moment has not sleep, just in the house around and around, look at here and there.
I saw him standing in the corner staring blankly, casually asked what he was doing.
He pointed to a painting on the wall and said, "Look, this looks like a map of the town.
I laughed and said, "This is a small place, you can walk around with your eyes closed, so there is no need for a map. But I said so, one side also put his head to see, found that this is just a pair of colored pencil drawing, may be aunt Huang her children bored when the time to get, above the lines are crooked, but still can see that this is the map on the street layout of the houses. I used to do this kind of thing when I was a kid.
I did not care much at first, but just turned around, I feel like there is something wrong, I can not help but turn back to stare at the map carefully, the layout of the streets above, indeed and we came all the way to the journey is almost the same, but I do not know why, the more I look at it, the more there is a feeling of familiarity.
Lin Tian saw me look strange, asked me what's wrong, I ignored him, just focus on thinking in my head whether I have seen this thing in some place. But when I thought of the end, I only felt a chill down my back, and those roads I had previously traveled, one by one, appeared in front of my eyes. The layout of this small town, and the Jiu Ye Village that I saw underneath the one-wood coffin, the layout was surprisingly similar.
Chapter 180: Stalking
When we traveled all the way here, because we were messing around in this town, the architectural style of the houses was different from the village underneath the Doki Coffin, and at first I didn't realize this, but now when I look at this hand-drawn map, it was as if I had just come out of that cave where the corpses had gathered, and was looking down on the entire village from afar. Everything was clearly recognizable, and it was an instant reaction.
Seeing the puzzled expression on my face, Lin Tian couldn't help but ask me what was wrong.
I said the suspicion in my heart, he was similarly shocked, looking at the map's expression also stared up, silent for half a long time, he suddenly said tentatively, could it be that this town, is the original form of the village under the one-wood coffin?
My brain seems to have crossed a current, think Lin Tian this kind of thing say or very reasonable, here the house building style although has been changing, but the mountain high land far away, the overall layout of the basic nothing changed is also possible.
I put my hand on the map above the distance of half a claw, in the place where there is no drawing marks roughly compared, said, this is really according to our guess, then this place, should be the location of the cave I stayed at that time.
Ding Ding heard the two of us talking, also busy to come over, asked clearly the original reason, small expression at once serious, he in the map to compare our current position, roughly consider the direction, then said, Tan Xi, the place where you point your finger, is this town behind the mountain ah. If you're not mistaken, then the underground palace we're looking for might be in that place.
I nodded in silence, according to the layout of Jiu Ye Village, this inference of Ding Ding was not impossible. I thought for a moment, and busily took out Lin Tian's piece of ancient jade, placing it on the diagram and comparing it.
Upon closer inspection, the various buildings carved on the ancient jade were almost similar in style to the mansions under Jiu Ye, and the place where my father had previously said the underground palace was pointed to was also exactly in the same direction as the one pointed to on my diagram.
This is even more firmly our deduction, I can not say whether my heart is happy or worried, if the cave that accumulates corpses on behalf of the underground palace, then the underground palace in the end hidden what secrets? Will not also buried countless corpses?
When I think of this, my heart seems to have claws scratching like, want to set off now to go to the underground palace there to see, but also hesitate to wait for my father they send news back. In the end, considering the safety issue, plus those weird haunted legends in this town, this only endured.
That night we did not say anything more, only intends to tomorrow in the good and Auntie Huang asked the town's situation, and finally in the wait to see this period of time will not have news sent back.
We each divided into rooms, I and Xia Ruxuan still in the original house to sleep, and Lin Tian and Ding Ding live in the next door.
This night is getting deeper and deeper, I would have been asleep, but the strange thing is that I do not know what things, feel all the time has been in the face of the brush, hairy, a little itchy, so that I woke up several times, but look around, and there is no what strange things. In the end, I can only think of myself as being paranoid, thinking that it may be because of the change of place, a moment of unaccustomed to, so that sleep is not solid.
However, I just laid down for a short while, and that furry feeling came back. I closed my eyes and wanted to reach out to scratch my face, but I suddenly realized that I couldn't move! I was shocked in my heart, immediately opened my eyes, in front of me was still dark, only the faint moonlight penetrated into the house, so that people could barely see the situation in the house.
I tried to get up from the bed, but my body just did not listen to the command, struggled a little, or no effect at all. I opened my mouth to call out to Xia Ruxuan, but then I realized that I couldn't even speak. In a trance I thought I was being controlled by the beautiful snake again, but come to think of it I didn't hear anyone calling my name at all. Just as soon as I considered the current situation, the goosebumps on my body immediately rose up, immediately broke out in a cold sweat, just as I was struggling, I suddenly heard a little bit of faint laughter, vaguely coming from my left side, as if it was a hallucination, it seemed that the sound was very far away from me, but it was close at hand.
My breathing slightly stagnant, slowly turn my eyes, with the corner of my eyes towards the left, immediately feel cold hands and feet.
I saw a man I've never seen before lying next to me, the moonlight shone on his face, vaguely a little green, he was lying on his side, sleeping with me, his body didn't move at all, while his face seemed to be stiff as if he was dead.
And in the distance, Xia Ruxuan side also seems to have something wrong, I heard his mouth and intermittent voice came, as if he wanted to speak, but was strangled, can not send a complete voice, listen to the ear is also unusually painful.
My heart that anxious, I did not expect this is the first night, this unlucky child really attracted the dirty things.
I see the situation is not good, hard bite the teeth, heart a cross, think big deal with this thing fight, brain this idea just a turn, I body fierce force, I did not expect to sit up, but at the same time turned his head to look at the side of the man lying has also disappeared.
I slightly puzzled for a moment, think this is usually people often say that the ghost pressure bed is not. Although I've never been pressured before, this feeling of not being able to move or make a sound is similar to what those people on the internet described.
I hurriedly got up from the bed and ran to Xia Ruxuan's side, only to find that his eyes were wide open, not looking at me at all, his whole head was almost tilted back to ninety degrees, his body was bowed up in the quilt, and his mouth was still that kind of intermittent voice. I yelled at him, but he didn't respond. I reached up and patted his face again, it was cold as death, but luckily he was still breathing.
I reached out and tried to drag him up from the bed, and I kept shouting towards Ding Ding and their house, but strangely after waiting for a few seconds, I didn't hear any response from Ding Ding or Lin Tian, and even the Hanged Ghost didn't know where he had gone!
I can not care so much now, drag up Xia Ruxuan is ready to leave the house, but just lifted his quilt, suddenly there is a pale hand from under the life out, tightly holding my wrist!
I was startled, my hand shook, Xia Ruxuan's body and bang on the bed, I only then see clearly under his life is hiding a pale ghost, although I can not see his body, but a widowed white face, resting on the edge of the lifted quilt, I can see clearly.
My heart was anxious, raised his hand and clenched his fist toward the face, but this fist fell, the white face suddenly disappeared. My fist fell short, violently smashed in Xia Ruxuan's stomach, hitting him with a muffled grunt, his body violently shrunk a little.
As soon as I saw that he could move, I was busy helping him sit up and asked if he was alright.
He closed his eyes and covered his stomach, slowing down for a while before shaking his head. I breathed a sigh of relief in my heart, seeing that the room was quiet, thinking that it should be fine for the time being. Only then did I open my voice again, and shouted a few more times towards Ding Ding's house, but it was still the same as before, with no echo at all.
I was a little uneasy in my heart, reached out and took the clothes that were placed on the side and put them on my body. To Xia Ruxuan said, you wait here, I'll go over and take a look.
But Xia RuXuan estimate also was just that scene to be scared, busy pulling me to put on the clothes and said and I go over, I nodded, hand tightly holding the small ghost left the invocation bell, and he went out of the room one after the other.
The courtyard seemed extraordinarily quiet, even the sound of crickets chirping was amplified countless times. We tiptoed to the door of Ding Ding's room, but found that the door to their room was open, and went in to take a look, the bedding on the beds were a little messy, but the two of them, inexplicably disappeared.
Luggage are still placed on the side, I checked properly, and found that Ding Ding exorcism with the same things are not left all taken away. Xia Ruxuan and I turned on the lights, took a close look at the house, and found that there were no traces of fighting, which felt as if two people had agreed to run away, very weird.
I think about just similar ghost pressure bed experience, think things will not be so simple, consider a moment, decided to go out to find them. Xia Ruxuan also did not dare to stay here alone, casually took a knife that Ding Ding had carved the runes before and pinned it to his waist, ready to follow me.
When I left, I also left a note to Aunt Huang and her family, saying that we were going out, don't worry about it, so that we wouldn't be able to come back this night, making them worried.
We went out of the house, stood on the street and looked around for a while, I don't know if it's a problem with the climate here, but it was slightly cold. There is no street light on the street, every house is dark, completely different from the city, the atmosphere made us all a little nervous, to find a word to describe words, that is dead silence two words!
Xia Ruxuan looked at me and asked me where to start looking.
I was going to say that the two of us split up and go out, anyway, this town is not big, it won't take long. But on second thought and consideration, thinking of this situation of him attracting ghosts, in the end I decided that the two of us should go together, and casually found a direction and walked over.
We walked very slowly, fearing that we might have overlooked a corner. Along the way, we called out Ding Ding and Lin Tian's names, but out of the sound of the cold wind whooshing, we never found any trace of the two of them.
It did not take long, we have circled the town, back to Auntie Huang's door, the two faces are very ugly, my heart repressed hard, there is a kind of want to smash things impulse, silent for a while, can not help but will look at the head of the town like that can not be seen in the mountains go. Heart as if there is a voice constantly shouting at me, saying they went into the mountains, into the mountains!
I was slightly hesitant, not sure if I should go to the mountains to find them now with the two of us.
But at this time Xia Ruxuan suddenly pulled me a hand, I see his face blistering, thought he was afraid is trying to comfort him a few words, who knows that he heard him say, cousin, do you feel, this way someone is following us ……
