Chapter 23

Of course I was not the only one who was curious. Just as I was about to have a friendly exchange with this big brother, Xiao You took the lead to ask: "Big brother, what is your last name and what is your name? Why do you live by the grave alone? "

The other party was still feeding the dog with the bone, and there was no movement for a while. Just when I thought he was going to be silent again, the man slowly uttered two words: "Look at the grave."

To see the grave?Guard the cemetery?

I suddenly felt strange.

There are security guards in the cemeteries in the city, and those people are dedicated to guarding the cemetery, but I have never heard of such an old cemetery in the mountains, there will be grave guards.

Grave guarding is inherently a lonely and gloomy job, no one wants to do it, but hiring someone to guard the grave must pay for it, right?In the old days, country people couldn't fill their stomachs, so how could they pay someone to look after the grave?Besides, the tombs these days are not like the fashion of being buried with them in old age.

When visiting graves in old age, the main purpose is to drive away wild dogs and guard against tomb robbers. Now that there are fewer wild dogs, grave robbers will not patronize them. After all, there are no funerary objects in modern graves.

In this way, his answer seemed too strange.

Looking at the grave in this place, what are you looking at?
The man's words drew our attention, and as I thought about it, I asked directly.

The man had already finished feeding the dog, and he said in that characteristic, hoarse and slow voice, "This place... has demons."

Demon?
I almost didn't laugh, how is this possible?Although the co-author of this eldest brother is a good person, he has a problem with his brain.

I looked at him with some sympathy, and said in my heart: Since there is something wrong with my brain, I guess I can’t ask too many things, and I’m afraid that when I ask, I’m afraid that I’m not clear, so I didn’t ask any more.

We had enough to eat and drink, and it was already past six o'clock in the afternoon.As the sun set, the afterglow of the setting sun was blocked by the tall tree crowns, and the light that could penetrate was even less pitiful, so the entire forest had become extremely dark.

Standing in the yard outside the wooden house and looking out, the eyes are filled with darkness, and the only thing I can hear is the chirping of birds and insects. Where can I see any roads?

Looking at the situation, we have to be cheeky and stay here for the night.

I told the elder brother about staying overnight, but he didn't refuse, he just said: "There are no extra mattresses."

I said: "It's okay, get a piece of cloth, we can sleep on the ground." After all, the caves have been slept in, and reptiles can fall asleep everywhere, so it doesn't matter so much now, there is a shelter from the wind and rain. A place is better than sleeping in the woods, isn't it?
Having said that, the man still gave up his bed to the doctor, saying that he let the patient sleep on the bed, but the doctor himself felt that the injury was much better, and the wound didn't hurt anymore, and said: "I'll sleep on the floor with you, Xiao You It's a girl, let the girl sleep on the bed."

At that moment, the three of us slept on the floor, and Xiao You slept on the only bed.

It's the end of summer and early autumn now. I exercise so much during the day that I don't feel anything. When I sleep on the ground at night, I feel chilly after a while.I was exhausted, and I didn't wake up. I just curled up my body to keep warm, but it was difficult to fall into a deep sleep.

While I was half asleep and half awake, I suddenly heard a slight sound of footsteps in my ears.

At first I didn't pay attention, I thought it was someone who got up to pee at night, after all, they all slept in the same room, and I could hear every movement.

But soon, I felt something was wrong, because the footsteps continued, as if they had been lingering outside the door.

You pee when you say pee, what circle are you shopping at the door?
In a daze, this thought flashed through my mind, and I woke up all of a sudden.

When I opened my eyes, it was pitch black.

Different from the night in the city, the night here, when the lights are blown out, is the kind of darkness where you can’t reach your fingers. When I open my eyes, I can’t feel any light in front of my eyes. When I look at the door, I can’t see anything.

At the same time, at the moment I woke up, the sound of footsteps coming and going at the door suddenly stopped.

Since there was only one blanket, the three of us were squeezed together and slept together. The doctor was on the side, and I was in the middle. and didn't get up at all.

I thought to myself, could it be that Xiao You got up to go to the toilet?

its not right.

Xiaoyou is a girl who is afraid of the dark. Before going to bed, in order to prevent her from getting up at night, the doctor specially reminded me to put the only kerosene lamp in the house next to Xiaoyou's bed. It is impossible for her to really get up at night to go to the bathroom. Don't turn on the lights.

I reached out and touched the doctor, and woke up the doctor. In the dark, he asked in a vigilant voice: "You don't sleep in the middle of the night, what are you doing?"

I choked and said in a low voice, "What can I do? Why are you sleeping like a dead pig? Didn't you hear any movement outside?"

The doctor didn't speak, and seemed to be listening to something. After a while, he said, "It's normal for insects and birds to sing. Go to sleep."

I said: "It's not the sound of birds, but the sound of footsteps. I seem to have heard someone walking around outside our door just now." As soon as the words fell, the brother next to him was also woken up, and he said: "No need Never mind, that thing won't come in."

When he said this, I immediately trembled. Obviously, the footsteps I heard in a daze just now was not my illusion. When this man said this, he obviously admitted that there was indeed something outside the door.

This barren mountain and wild ridge is next to the cemetery. Hearing people walking outside the door in the middle of the night is really scary.If it weren't for the fact that there were four of us gathered together in this wooden house, I would have been terrified to death if I encountered this situation alone.

When the doctor heard this, he said, "Is there really something? What is it?"

The man said hoarsely: "The monster, the monster in the mountains." I choked up suddenly, and raised the monster again?Can you pull some more?While talking, the sound of footsteps outside the door that had already disappeared suddenly resounded again. The sound left for a while, then went right for a while, and was near and far away, like a ghost, not to mention too infiltrating.

After experiencing the fraudulent corpse incident, I no longer believe in evil. After all, even that headless corpse was chopped down by us with two knives.

As the doctor said, there are no ghosts in the world, and ghosts are born from the fear of people's hearts. What we think of as ghosts is often just our cognition, which has not yet reached that level.

Now that guy kept saying what kind of monster it was, and I couldn't help but argue, thinking that I don't believe there are any monsters, so I want to see what it is!Dang even got up, asked the doctor to give me the lighter, and after lighting the windproof lighter at once, I walked to the door with my things.

Seeing my action, the man immediately got up from the ground and growled, "What are you doing!"

I said, "Look at what a monster looks like." The doctor also walked up to me and said, "I'll take a look too." Obviously, he didn't believe any monsters.

While speaking, the door was opened by the doctor first.

The yard outside was empty, and there was nothing there.The two of us walked out holding the lighter, and by the dim light of the lighter, we saw something scurrying around in the woods outside the yard.

Take a closer look, isn't it the big black dog!
Because the dog's work and rest schedule is different from that of humans, he doesn't sleep in the middle of the night, scurrying around outside the yard, creaking the dead leaves he stepped on.

What he heard just now was probably the sound made by the big black dog.
