Thirty-five Shi Baocheng
After telling this story, the old man seemed a little tired. He took a sip of water and leaned his head on the back and closed his eyes to rest. The passengers around him saw that there was no story and sat down one after another. Some people were whispering whether the story just now was true or not. Many people didn't believe it, but Xi Feng and Wang Lin believed it without doubt. Although they didn't know if those few words were true bone wives, they were sure that these human skins must be like evil spirits like Cha Gu, because they could also set off ghost fire.
It happened to be a station where someone got off the car opposite the old man. Xi Feng and Wang Lin hurried over and sat opposite the old man.
Wang Lin took out a bottle of Fenjiu and said to the old man: "Uncle, you told us such a wonderful story. I'll treat you to a glass of wine." As he said that, he took out a three paper cups and poured half a glass of wine. Xi Feng also took out salty peanuts and a bag of beef, and tore it openly on the small table.
The old man opened his eyes as he smelled the fragrance of wine, frowned and sniffed, with a salivating look on his face. He looked so good. He stared at the wine glass and smiled, "How bad is this, you two young people's food and drink for free. In this way, I have the beggar chickens I brought back from Lanzhou here, let's play a table."
Although the beggar chicken was cold, it opened the plastic bag and the fragrance filled the carriage. When Xifeng and Wang Lin saw that the old man was a person with a temperament, they no longer polite to him. Each of them took a sip of wine and tore off the roast chicken and ate it. While eating, Xifeng asked, has there been any incident in Shibaocheng that has happened before, except for the recent discovery of human skin? Or is it that someone was killed and skinned all over his body?
The old man drank another sip of wine, smacked his lips, squinted his eyes, and felt that the wine was so fragrant. Then he grabbed two peanuts and put them in his mouth, and chewed them, saying, "I have never seen human skin before, but there are people who have been killed and peeled."
Xi Feng and Wang Lin looked at each other and it seemed that they had really found the large army.
"This happened in Shibao City," Xi Feng asked.
The old man shook his head and said, "It's not in the ancient city, but in Jazigou Village, more than ten miles away from Shibao City. In addition to the grassland, there are few villages in our area. Most of the middle-aged people go out to work, leaving behind old people and women and children. In fact, a few people die every year in each village, but Jazigou dies the most. It is said that a little girl in their village disappeared when she was three years old. Later, she came back when she was sixteen years old. Since she came back, people have been dying in the village, and the surrounding villages have inexplicably injured the population. The accounts are all counted on that child."
Wang Lin frowned and said, "Didn't you call the police?"
"I reported it, but the police took the person away and sent it back only two days after taking it away, saying that the child was innocent. She was quite weak, so how could she kill and peel it? She told everyone not to believe those who were devils and gods, and not to suspect the child anymore." The old man said.
Xi Feng poured him wine and asked, "Uncle, what's your name? I'm a long life this year?"
"I am a Han Chinese, my name is Geng Qifeng. I am 68 years old this year. When I was young, I came to Shibaocheng with my father and lived there for 60 years." The old man drank a sip of wine and felt a little moved.
Xi Feng touched his nose and asked again: "Is there any place in Shibaocheng area that is as evil as Shibaocheng?"
Geng Qifeng shook his head slowly: "The only one who is evil in Shi Baocheng, or Jawgun. In fact, when it comes to killing and skinning, I don't think it's a big deal that child. This happened long ago before she disappeared, but there were few people who died, so everyone forgot about it. At that time, I was still young and had just arrived in Shi Baocheng for less than two years. One morning I heard that something happened in Majiagou, the next village next to me, so I ran over to watch the fun. Oh, after watching it, we were so scared that we didn't dare to go out for a few days. A woman was killed, peeled all over and hung upside down on the poplar tree. I still remember that kind of miserable appearance."
He said as his eyes were filled with fear, he picked up the wine glass and took a big sip, then he suppressed God.
"Then why no one has ever turned on the past and insisted on putting the murder on the child?" Wang Lin asked in confusion.
Geng Qifeng sighed and said, "I asked Mr. Yin and Yang to come to see him after the death of someone, saying that there was a woman who committed a Tai Sui in Jawgun that would kill people. At that time, the whole country was in motion, so the people in Jawgun pulled the woman out and beat her to death, and finally threw it into the valley to feed the wolf. Now something happened to Jawgun again, which reminded many older people of the past and believed that this child was also committed by Tai Sui. But now it is different from before, and people cannot be beaten to death."
Wang Lin was very angry after hearing this and said to Lao Geng: "The Yin-Yang Mr. I was looking for in the past is probably a squash. Women who violated Tai Sui will generally only cause harm to their own family, and it will not cause harm to their own villages or even surrounding villages. Besides, it is not a big deal to commit Tai Sui. At most, some accidents occur at home, and those who are injured or sick are inevitable. They die from skinning, which is too far-fetched."
Lao Geng sighed again and said, "Who understood this in those years? To this day, many people still believe in the sins committed by Tai Sui."
Xi Feng and Lao Geng clinked glasses of wine and asked, "How is that child now?"
"I was driven out by the villagers and lived in a yurt far away from the village. I am now nineteen years old." Lao Geng said while drinking.
Xi Feng said oh and then asked again: "Haven, have you been to the Black Gobi?"
"I went there twenty years ago. There was no grass growing in that place, and the ground was covered with black stones. There were more evil things there. I heard that there was a Blood Wolf Mountain that was very scary. No one who went there came back alive. After I finished the work, I didn't dare to go deeper and went home quickly." Lao Geng said, as his face twitched a few times.
Xi Feng nodded and smiled, "Uncle, we want to go to Shibao City with you to have fun and see the ancient city."
"Okay, I'll stay at our house when I come and try the horse-milky wine I made by my own hands."
The three of them became closer and closer as they talked, because the wine could really make strangers become familiar quickly. The three of them talked and drank two bottles without realizing it. The wine was too high, and the three of them felt dizzy. Xi Feng wanted to open another bottle. After all, the old man was old and couldn't resist it, so he stopped.
They went to bed after drinking the long-distance bus, and were not afraid of taking the station. I don’t know how long they had slept. After they woke up, they found that they had arrived in Jiuquan in another half an hour. They got all their luggage in advance. After arriving at the station, Wang Lin and Xi Feng helped Lao Geng get off the train with a large bag and small bag. Lao Geng went to Lanzhou to visit relatives this time and brought a lot of things back. If no one helped him, he would be really worried after getting off the bus.
They left the train station, took a bus to Shibaocheng, and walked nearly 200 kilometers, until the evening when they arrived in the village. It was only five miles from the village to their Henghekou Village, but not much. In addition, Xi Feng and Wang Lin were not ordinary middle-aged people, so they carried the package and walked home with Lao Geng.
Stepping on the soft grass and breathing fresh air that had never been seen before, Xi Feng and Wang Lin felt refreshed and unspeakable comfort. Five miles passed quickly and when they arrived at the entrance of the village, Lao Geng pointed to the dark night south and said that Shi Baocheng was seven miles away, and it took him half an hour to walk for a maximum of half an hour. I would take them over to play tomorrow. Xi Feng asked where the Jade Groove was, Lao Geng pointed east and said that it was about ten miles away.
