Chapter 93 Customs

I feel that Ding Ding some grass, even a surname can be associated with so much, immediately blanked him, said What do you mean? You are implying that I have a younger brother?

Ding Ding a wide-eyed, said Tan Xi you are very good, even a moment to find this key place, how I did not think of this, but also thought it would not be a distant relative of your family!

I looked at him so dead, I don't know if I overestimated Ding Ding, or I was stupid. I thought I was following his train of thought, but I didn't realize that I was digging a hole for myself to jump into.

But think about it, this is not unreasonable, even the relatives of the ninth wife's family can appear in this place, my family to really have who is here, that really is not at all rare.

We walked forward for a while, the old man suddenly stopped in his tracks, stood under a dilapidated house, probed inward and looked, said to, this is the fourth brother's home of Xiaoyu. Her first few siblings are too old, have been in the ground, a few living is also a problem, only her fourth brother body bones are still quite strong.

I also followed his example and looked inside, the house is very short, the walls of the soil has fallen off a lot, the roof of the rubble in the cracks of a lot of weeds, as if a dangerous house.

This house only has a crooked wooden door, the couplets pasted on both sides have already lost their color and become white, it looks like they haven't been changed for a long time. And the house has no relationship at all, I stood outside the door for a while, I could not see anything clearly.

The old man went to the edge and knocked towards the door, the thud echoed loudly, and dust kept falling off the edge of the door. He shouted at the top of his lungs, saying Yu fourth brother, at home, right? It's me, I've brought someone to show you.

He shouted for a while, but there was no echoing sound coming from the house at all. The old man turned his head to look at the old woman, said strange, usually this time, Yu fourth brother are not in it.

I frowned, thinking that this person could be the kind that can count, because they don't like Mrs. Nine, and know that we are coming, so they simply hide?

But the little ghost came closer and stood behind me, saying Tan Xi, can't you smell it?

The old man and I turned our heads to look at him at the same time, our faces full of doubt, and asked, what smell?

The little ghost raised his hand in front of his nose and shook it, as if he couldn't stand the smell, and said The people inside here, I guess they died last night, so big smell, can't you smell it?

The old man and I glanced at each other, and then looked at Ding Ding, who also looked at the little ghost with a face full of astonishment, as if he was the only one who could smell the smell he was talking about.

We didn't come back to our senses from the little ghost's words, instead, the old woman was the first to react, knocking hard towards the door, calling out anxiously, saying Yu fourth brother, open the door ah!

She knocked one by one, the sound was deafening, but finally the little ghost sighed, dragged her a hand, lifted his foot towards the wooden door and kicked it hard. I only heard a loud "boom", this wooden door is too old, even directly by the little ghost to a kick down!

The room finally penetrated a light, raised a burst of dust, I covered my mouth and nose, looked towards the inside, see this room is not large, probably only more than ten square meters, the center of the location of the door, placed a table and a few low wooden stools, there are a few dirty porcelain bowls and teapots on the table.

But even more appalling, is that behind that table, indeed fell a person, he seems to be asleep a glance, lying there motionless.

The old man and the old woman were very panicked, rushed in, shouting the name of that person over and over again, but when they touched the nose, their hands shook slightly, and the expression on their faces immediately froze.

Ding Ding and I didn't even go in, only standing outside the door watching them. The little ghost frowned, walked up and gave a slight glance towards that very four hooves, and said, natural death, it looks like although they usually had an average life, but there was little pain when they died.

When the old man heard this, he raised his head fiercely and said How do you see it, Yu four brothers usually have a good body and bones, how can it be so quietly gone ……

The little ghost retracted his gaze and said The body is good again, you look at his age, it is not an accident.

I stood outside the door, and Ding Ding glanced at each other, this man said is also his relatives, although it is estimated that there is not much emotion, but to see their loved ones dead, the heart should not be a taste.

Ding Ding has been looking at the face of the dead, after a while, I heard him say a low, this person should be older than my mother a ten years, less say also more than seventy, life and go, nothing to regret.

He said, he took a step towards the inside, said, we now, should notify the other people, to prepare for the funeral.

But after he finished speaking, neither of the two old men had any reaction. I looked at them strangely, seeing them disheveled sitting on the ground, expressionless, seemingly not yet recovered from the excitement just now.

Tintin reached out to help them up, but the old man waved his hand and refused him. Long sighed, said no need …… Think about it We are also almost half a foot into the ground, just did not expect this to the end, but also to see the Yu fourth brother one side.

I heard this strange, even in this poor countryside, neighbors passed away, want to take a last look at the remains, should not be difficult. But listening to the old man's tone, it seems that there are still some customs here that we don't understand.

The old man shook slowly stood up, looked at us, eyes full of bleak color, and finally a long sigh, shook his head, said there is no way, it seems that you can not go today, now go out, the village outside is not peaceful ……

I was happy to hear him say so, had no intention of leaving, busy echoed, so moncler outlet online, you see we are now not to inform their families to deal with the body first?

The old man slowly walked past me, and in that moment, I felt as if he was a seventy year old man, much older than he was. He turned his back to us, shook his hand, and said No, we don t have such a custom here, there will be something …… to deal with it, I am now going to ring the bell ……

We heard this, the three of us are wide eyed, all a little want to understand the meaning of the words, only to watch the old man step slowly away, do not understand what he wants to ring the bell.

Still waiting for that old woman up, she wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, said I see you a few children, are not what for the wrongdoing of bad people, but we are here, no one is willing to accept strangers in the house, you can not go now, the outside of the village is not safe, the only way, is to stay in this house, after tonight, and then leave tomorrow.

I listen to this somewhat inexplicable, just now the old man also said, outside the village is not peaceful, but earlier let us go, now after seeing the body, but let us stay, and this no funeral custom, I simply have not heard where there has been. Could it be that there is some kind of allusion in between?

But the old woman does not seem to want to talk more, only explained that we help, said wait for the bell ringing, carry the body to the door on the line. In addition, the door to get good, if you hear any movement at night, do not be curious to come out of the house to check, this night will be safe.

We are still puzzled, the little ghost raised his head, slightly narrowed his eyes, laughed, said, granny, you say so we do not understand ah, and this house has just died, we do not know him, how dare you live here.

The little ghost said this very sincerely, but I know he is actually pretending, a person who drives a ghost car to send ghosts, afraid of dead people's place that is really see ghosts.

But this set of words was enough to cope with. The old woman held her hands in front of her body, constantly rubbing, seems to have a difficult to say, consider half a day, before sighing, said it is so, we are this person died, the next night, there will be something to help collect the body, the next day everything is back to its original state, the body is also gone forever.

When I heard her say that, it felt as if there was a god of death in this village, not only taking away people's souls, but even their corpses as well.

But the little kid still showed a look of disbelief, saying Granny, we are not three years old, why are you saying this to scare us?

The old woman looked in a trance, thought for a while, only a little difficult to say, I'm not bluffing you, what exactly will come, I've never seen, you look around the village, not even a cemetery, we have very few windows on the house, it is afraid of that thing to come, can not help but peek, some people were curious before, and the result disappeared along with the corpse, and never appeared again. We don't know where that thing comes from, anyway, as long as someone dies, it knows, and will come out when it gets dark. Now it is estimated that it is already hiding outside the village ……

I laughed dryly, said Granny, you mean, is that if we leave the village today, go out may not meet it, but how do you know, stay in the house will be fine.

The old woman wiped the sweat on her forehead, said we grew up watching over, which family died, the body was carried out and placed outside the door, and then rang the bell to tell everyone that the thing is coming, everyone hid in the house, do not dare to make a sound, the next day at dawn to see, in addition to the body disappeared, everything is fine. We believe that this is God took them away, so can not peep towards the outside, or blasphemy of the majesty of God, even the living will be taken away together!

When I heard it, I didn't know what kind of tone this was that people preached, even God was pulled out. But the old woman's expression was very deliberate, and she thought about each sentence for a while before saying it, there was indeed a fear of blasphemy.

I glanced at Ding Ding and the little ghost, who were also deep in thought and didn't say anything.

我们其实住在这里都无所谓，多顶想起死人的事情，心里有些膈应，我正打算在和老太婆说两句话，就听到村子里，不知道哪里传来一阵响声，铛铛铛铛的声响，震撼着人的灵魂！

Chapter 94: Carrying Corpses

The old woman stood up with a brush and said the bells want, you guys hurry up, carry the body to the door. Then get the door and don't come out!

We all did not expect her reaction to be so big, the three of us froze for a moment and did not move.

The old woman looked at us, anxious, said you quickly ah, do not want me this old woman to get not.

We this reaction, Ding Ding and the little ghost are a reluctant expression, but we have no choice, but still raised his head and feet to get the body out of the house, placed in the middle of the road.

In any other place, it is expected that this kind of behavior would be treated as a great disrespect. But here on the contrary, it was surprisingly natural.

The old woman looked at it and said well, this will do, I also have to hurry home.

At the end, she also glanced towards Ding Ding, said you are the son of Xiaoyu, I also do not want you to have anything happen, I just said that you have to remember, at night, stay in the house, hear any movement have to endure, do not be a moment of curiosity to lose your life.

Her words just fell, turned around and hurried away. She seemed to be very scared and eager to rush back home.

I glanced toward the surrounding streets, found that here originally not many people on the street, now one or two heard the bell, are remembered toward the home dare to go, as if the end of the world, just a moment of effort, the door of every house is closed, can no longer see a silhouette, and so that the bell stops, the whole village was suddenly a dead silence. This sudden silence gave me an indescribable sense of horror.

I looked at the corpse on the ground, my heart welled up a kind of sadness, if I die, also like this not even a mourning friend, then live this life, go away or alone, will not feel pity.

I thought out of my mind, heard the little ghost called out, looked back at him, found that he was standing by the door, reaching out to try to get the door on the ground up, greeted me to go over to help.

I looked at it, the door is too old, and it's getting late in the day, at best we can stand it up in front of the house, blocking the outside from seeing the movement, but only if someone pushes it, it will surely fall down again.

I sighed, one side to help the little ghost to get up the door to the room, one side to ask them, said the customs of this place, I guess it is not only these decades, this world is there really what the God of the corpse?

The little ghost said, this is either bullshit, or there really is, we are all dealing with ghosts, on the matter of God, not much understanding.

Ding Ding didn't say anything, he squatted aside, motionless, looking at the corpses in the road. A long time, he only stood up, the seriousness of the road, I look at him like this, I think it is quite pathetic, and think my mother to leave this place is actually right, this kind of place, is not at all a person to stay, they are afraid of, even the basic affection can be ignored.

I thought for a while, talking is not so, after all, this poor mountain valley, can go out of the people or a few, some used to this life, a moment for him to accept other, he can not accept. Your mother is considered lucky, the environment forced her to leave, but in the end rely on themselves, but also played a piece of heaven.

Tintin shook his head and sighed for a while, went into the house and sat down, not talking.

The Kid and I made the door good so that it wouldn't at least fall down easily, before following into the house.

But sitting inside, it feels dark, can not see anything clearly, this house does not penetrate the light at all, but the good thing is that it does not feel stuffy. This village is not connected to the electricity, once the night, really can only rely on natural light. Luckily, when we came here, we didn't expect to find our way, Ding Ding also bought a lot of candles, barely able to illuminate.

We stayed inside the house and didn't go out, and after a few hours passed, we almost died of boredom. Fortunately, the little ghost has more stories, told me a lot of strange stories that he and the ghost car previously encountered, it is able to pass the time.

But sitting like this for a long time, I feel equally uncomfortable, look at the time, also almost twelve o'clock. I don't know when the "thing" the old woman said will come.

I stood up and prepared to move a little bit of body bones, but did not move two times, I heard a sound, slowly coming from the far street outside the house.

Tintin alert, "whistling" blow out the candle flame on the table, said, coming!

Without the light, we could not see anything clearly for a short period of time, but the surroundings were too quiet, I could clearly hear the sound coming from outside the house, I don't know what it was, it just gave me the creeps, it was like a kind of sharp thing, rubbing on the stone wall.

The three of us inside patiently listened, after a while, the sound has come to the door, the sound is getting louder and louder, seems very chaotic, as if the door gathered a lot of people.

Ding Ding pushed towards the Hanged Ghost, signaling him to go out and take a look, we had discussed this before, because we didn't know what would come, so we didn't dare to rush out, but the Hanged Ghost was different, he himself was dead, and couldn't possibly die again, he could help us go out and take a look at the situation.

Even if something unexpected happens, I still have the Ghost Mound here, it just needs to go back in time.

The Hanged Ghost was encouraged by Ding Ding, and lightly walked over, lying behind the door, probing towards the gap in the door wall to look outside. When I looked at him like this, I felt that although he was a ghost, he was also a bit scared, or else he could have just instantly moved out and waited to see clearly before coming back.

But I don't want to force him, just Ding Ding was a little impatient, patted his back and asked him that what did you see?

Hanged ghost did not immediately answer him, just bowed his body to look out, after a while, he only looked back with a blank face, gesturing up towards us.

I saw pointing to the head, the body again like a woman twisted up and down, and cursed the mother ah, what are you trying to say ah!

Fortunately, Ding Ding and he have a common language, immediately understood, surprised, you mean that "that thing" outside the door is a beautiful snake?

The hanged ghost quickly gave a thumbs up, his expression was very pleased.

I heard, immediately frowned, but also immediately understood, according to the words of the old woman, I guess the body outside the door, is eaten by the beautiful snake ah! But the beautiful snake is the ancient building in that Yin Hata attracted, does it mean that all this is his ghost?

But the little kid thought for a moment, two hands clasped in front of his chest, said it's not so simple, the beautiful snake to eat people, the first thing to call out the name of the other person, others agreed to it, only then it will do it, this corpse obviously can't talk, they are not interested in what is not responded to, they are not interested. But those who were curious to see them, it is estimated that they died in the hands of the beautiful snake!

I listened carefully to the movement outside, that sound is still very disorganized, and I do not know how many of these ghostly things there are outside now, in the end.

Ding Ding knows the truth outside the door, also not so fearful, he ran to the position where the hanging ghosts stood just now, staring towards the outside, suddenly surprised to say, these guys dragged the body up, towards the ancient building!

I cursed in my heart, these things really can't be unrelated to that yinhuan called Xia Ruxuan. But once I thought about it, I felt that it was not right, the old woman said that this has been like this since she was a child, and this Yin Hata is a bit younger than me, then before him, there must be many other people doing this kind of thing, if people died in this village, and the corpses were all collected by them, then what is the purpose of them doing this?

I couldn't think of a clue, but after a while, Ding Ding shouted out, saying that they were all heading over towards the ancient building now.

As soon as his words fell, he immediately pushed the door of the room open, startling both the little ghost and me.

Good thing I looked outside, the street outside the house was empty, no sign of the beautiful snake, even the corpse on the ground was gone.

Tintin pulled me up and said let's go over there and take a look, well at least we have to get to the bottom of it.

After he finished, he ran out, I was afraid that he had an accident, also followed in a hurry. We pressed our feet towards the ancient building and ran, trying not to make too much noise. Borrowing the moonlight, I looked ahead, immediately felt numb, not far ahead of the street, I can only see a pile of black whirring, messy writhing toward the front.

Although it was hard to see clearly in this night, I could imagine how terrifying that number would be.

Even though the brats said it was fine as long as they didn't respond to their shouts, who could guarantee that there weren't a few heartless ones in them that would bite at the sight of a human being.

We deliberately keep a distance from them, and when we reached the ancient building, we looked from afar for a while, and found that the door of the ancient building was closed, but those beautiful snakes didn't stop advancing because of that, one by one, they began to climb up along the wall, and there was even a large group of them, wrapped around the corpse, slowly crawling upwards.

In the twinkling of an eye, the walls of the ancient building are no longer visible, all that can be seen are densely packed with snake bodies and heads, the whole house, as if a nest, waiting for these monsters to return home.

We waited for a while, until they climbed into the house one after another, completely disappeared, before sending a breath.

The Kid asked, "What do we do now? Should we go in, or wait until after dawn?

I thought about it and said that after dawn, I guess there will be no more clues, the villagers here can also go in, but no one has found anything suspicious. If we leave now, we probably won't have a chance, it's impossible to kill someone and wait for the next time.

Ding Ding nodded and just wanted to say something, I pushed him forward, he looked at me suspiciously and said Tan Xi what are you doing?

I said You are more venomous than a beautiful snake ah, quickly go ahead and open the way for us!

He thought about it and felt that I was praising him, and cheerfully walked to the front, and also gestured at us, saying quickly follow.

I ran with the Kid in broken steps, afraid that I would be left behind. When we came to the door, Ding Ding also finally smart once, did not use brute force to hit, but slowly pushed a little.

I originally thought that the door was locked, but I did not expect Ding Ding to do so, the door creaked open.

My heart hung in the air, afraid that something would suddenly come out. But after the door opened, it was unusually quiet inside, and I couldn't hear a single sound.

But the door toward the aisle, standing a three-meter-high sculpture, if not I reacted, I thought that stood a thing.

Borrowing the light, I looked carefully towards the sculpture, found that the sculpture carved, is a woman on the upper body, the lower body is a long snake tail of an image, exquisite, is facing the doorway, as if staring at us.

The little ghost subconsciously cursed and said what is this thing! The ancestor of a beautiful snake?

I thought for a while, suddenly woke up, busy to not, this thing I know, is the legend of the great god, Nuwa!
