Weird past in the countryside

Chapter 68
The master waved his hand: "Forget it, this time entering the mountain, good or bad is unpredictable, let's adapt accordingly."

I glanced at the things on the ground and said to Master, "Master, why do I think the things we prepared are so childish, they don't look professional at all. Can this work?"

The master smiled helplessly: "There is no other way, let's get rid of these materials first, time is running out. Pack up your things, and we will go into the mountain tomorrow morning."

We agreed and started packing up our gear.

As soon as the door opened, Jin Fu, the old village head, came in from the outside. Seeing that we were packing up, he hurriedly asked, "Master Yuan, I heard that you are going to enter the mountain?"

Master replied, "Yes, old village chief."

The old village chief opened his mouth, but stopped talking.

Seeing this, Master hurriedly pulled the old village chief to sit down and asked, "Old village chief, is there something wrong?"

The old village chief sighed: "You guys, do you have to go?"

The master was a little anxious: "Old village chief, we are definitely going, so just speak up if you have anything to say."

The old village head Jin Fu saw that we had made up our minds, so he stopped blocking us and told us about Mount Zhuma.He said: "The area around Mount Zhuma has a radius of tens of miles. This is also the area we have explored. None of us has seen what it looks like tens of miles away. In this old forest, it can be said that Dangerous."

Ning Xiaoyue interrupted and asked, "Are there a lot of beasts?"

The old village head shook his head again and again: "If it's just wild animals, it's easy to deal with. I'm afraid it's not as simple as just having wild animals."

I heard that the old village head seemed to know something about the forest, so he might as well ask about it, so that he could be prepared.I kept urging the old village head to continue.

The old village head continued: "As far as I know, when I was young, I was more playful with many friends. Ignoring the parents' warning, I secretly went to the woods to play. Since the woods are very dense, we played hide-and-seek. I was blindfolded at the time, but I searched for a long time, but I couldn’t find it. I never gave up, and finally I touched a person, and that person didn’t move. Talking. I was curious, so I lifted the blindfold, and I saw a strange-looking child. I had never seen him before. He was not a child from the village. He had no clothes on him, only a black Dudou, a pale face, a big mouth with upturned corners, showing two sharp teeth. The eyes are also big, but strangely, there is only a little black eyeball, and the rest of the eye sockets are all white. At that time, he Staring at me firmly. I was young at the time and didn’t know how to be afraid, so I asked, “Who are you? Where are those people? "He actually smiled at me, very eerie way, it's very weird when I think about it now, his smile startled me, I quickly said to him: I have to go home, I will come to find him tomorrow You play. After I finished speaking, I turned around and ran away, and a voice came from behind: "Then you come tomorrow, I will wait for you. "As a result, I fell seriously ill when I went home, and the missing children did not come back that night. Their parents called a group of villagers to look for them the next day, only to find that those children and another large group of children were in the forest They were chasing and playing in the park, and they had a lot of fun. But when they called the names of the children, the children smiled strangely at them, and then disappeared into the public, as if they had evaporated , never came back. Later they all said that my fate was fatal, I thought maybe it was my last sentence that saved me, maybe he really waited for me to go to play with him the next day.”

The village chief said a long paragraph in one breath, and when he spoke, his tone was very low, and we also got goosebumps when we heard it.Ning Xiaoyue turned pale when she heard this.

The village head said: "This is what I have personally experienced. There are many other things I have heard from the old people in the village. It is said that there has always been a mass grave in the depths of the forest. There are many graves and ancient mounds, from all dynasties Most of the graves have no tombstones, and gradually these wandering ancient tombs are connected into one piece. According to the legend, everyone named the place Bansheng Grave, because no matter whether people or animals pass by there, they will lose their lives. It is said that the underground life in that area There are countless pubic lice. They are relatively large in size and grow in underground caves all the year round. They like dark and humid environments. Those caves are deep and shallow, dotted around. Many caves lead to the ground, and there are holes on the ground. Outside they grow The tomb is full of grass, so you can’t see it when you walk through it. Many animals accidentally step into the hole, and they will be eaten by pubic lice in no time. When the legs were pulled out, the pubic lice in the grave had already gnawed away the fur and flesh on the feet, leaving only the bloody white bones. If you pass by the half-life grave, you must pay attention to your feet, and don’t stepped in."

Just the old village chief's narration is already creepy.Imagining that when a person's foot steps in, when it is lifted up, it will turn into bloody white bones, how can it not make people feel moved.Ning Xiaoyue asked: "Old village head, is there a clear sign on the place you mentioned? It's terrible." The old village head said: "I heard that there is another reason why it is called Bansheng's tomb, because there There used to be a stone bridge called Bansheng Bridge. There is a poignant legend about this Bansheng Bridge.”

Ning Xiaoyue heard the old village head kept talking about horrible things, and suddenly heard a legend, so she urged the old village head to talk about it.

The old village head continued to talk about the legend: "It is said that a long time ago, there was a place with beautiful mountains and clear waters. There was a river called Qingshui River. Qingshui River flowed in four seasons and never dried up. The upstream and downstream The people of the country live by this river. There is a local custom that whenever young men and women fall in love with each other, before they get married, they have to scoop up a ladle of love water from the love water river to drink and bathe in it. It means that the love between two people will last forever. But the good times don’t last long. I don’t know when, the two villages on the upper and lower reaches of the Qingshui River have conflicts. The two villages do not marry each other. And they both made a poisonous oath. People die of illness. But there are two young men, the male is from the upstream village, named Shengshu, and the female is from the downstream village, named Banxia. They are childhood sweethearts, and they are also in love with each other when they grow up. How can the two The poisonous oath of the village prevented them from coming together. So the two young people met and threw themselves into the River of Love. Strange to say, not long after they jumped into the water, two waves of resentment rushed out of the river and went straight to the sky, causing a The attention of an old god. When the old god knew about this, he stood at the bridgehead angrily and shouted: "If the two loves can't last long, what's the use of this love water? With a shake of the sleeve of the robe, the river will be sucked dry. From then on." The people in the two villages lost the Qingshui River, so they relocated and wandered. In less than a year, this place became a barren land. The bridge was also named Bansheng Bridge after those two people. Later, it became a tomb again, and the Bansheng Bridge also means that no matter who walks here, they will lose their lives, which only means half a lifetime."

Ning Xiaoyue was aroused when she heard it, and continued to ask: "What about Sheng Millet and Pinellia? Are they together after that?"

The old village head smiled: "This is just a legend. We have never seen such a stone bridge. No one has really been there. Even if I have been there, I think it is very difficult to come back alive. And There are many imaginable dangers, not to mention bobcats and beasts, but also all kinds of gnats and mosquitoes, all of which are surprisingly poisonous in the woods. If you encounter a large area of ​​bites, you will soon be bitten into a mummified corpse. It is said that There are no people in the forest all year round. Many snakes, pythons, wolves, and foxes have practiced for many years and have some Taoism. It can be said that it is a place where ghosts and monsters are everywhere. I have to persuade you one last time. If you can’t go, it’s best not to take this risk. gone."

Hearing what the old village chief said, I thought of the trip I took with Yu Ling'er a few days ago, and it was nothing short of child's play in comparison.It seems that there are many dangers in it that we have never heard of. This trip is destined to be dangerous and lifeless.

Although Master was a little moved when he heard this, he quickly regained his composure.He said to the old village chief: "Thank you, old village chief. We will definitely pay attention to what you said, but we have made up our minds, and we will go through this after all."

The old village chief couldn't persuade us when he saw it, so he stood up and said to the master: "Master Yuan, since this is the case, I will organize some villagers and take you to the mountain temple on the side of the mountain to worship Let’s go down to the God of the Mountain. It’s also regarded as worshiping the mountain, and I will pray for you when you enter the mountain.”

Master didn't want to cause trouble for the village, but the old village head repeatedly said that this cutscene must go, otherwise he would feel uneasy.

After the old village chief left, I looked at his back and said to Master, "It's not easy for the old village chief, he thought so much for us."

Master nodded.Turning around, she asked Xiaoyue: "Xiaoyue, why is there still a custom of offering sacrifices to the mountain god in the village?"

Ning Xiaoyue said: "Master Yuan, you rarely came here in the back mountain. In fact, we have to sacrifice to the mountain god every year. The scene is quite big. It's just that tomorrow is a special sacrifice for us to enter the mountain."

The stick said: "Before entering the mountain, it is also a good thing to worship the mountain god. Maybe it can really protect our safety."

I sat on the kang, leaned against the wall, and sighed: "Master, what the old village chief said just now, I believe it is true. Yu Ling'er and I walked such a short distance in the past two days. , I encountered several bizarre things, even the snake demon came out, and if we walked inside, we might encounter something else. We really have to prepare well."

The master said: "Yes, but none of us have experience in entering the mountains. We say to be prepared, but what are we prepared for?"

Yu Ling'er replied from the side: "Don't care what danger he is, we are people who block and kill people, and demons who block and kill demons."

The master said: "Well, Ling'er's momentum is still right. Let's not go into the mountain yet. Let's frighten ourselves first. Let's make more preparations step by step. Get everything in order, and we will talk to you tomorrow. The old village head went to sacrifice, and then went into the mountain, if there is anything missing, there will be nowhere to get it."
