Chapter 141 Seven knife marks, seven people hang themselves
Xu Duoduo heard Ye Ling introduce herself, and her transparent body floated to Chu Tian.
She looked at Chu Tian and said playfully to Ye Ling: "Hehe, this little guy is very timid. I blew a few breaths from behind him just now, and he was trembling all over."
Chu Tian was ashamed. No wonder he kept feeling cold at the back of his head. It turned out that this old monster, a girl over a hundred years old, was causing the trouble.
Ye Ling said with a smile: "Okay, Duoduo, tell them about the night civet cat! You are the only one here who is most familiar with it. Even the information I know is from the information of the 9th Office.
."
Chu Tian discovered that after Xu Duoduo came out, Ye Ling changed her previous state. She was no longer cold, but always smiling.
No wonder Ye Ling said that she was invited here because she was familiar with the people in this so-called night civet cat village.
After hearing this, Xu Duoduo sat down directly next to Chu Tian.
She pondered for a moment at first, and then her translucent face no longer showed a playful expression, but showed a serious expression, and she slowly began to narrate.
Forty-four years ago, a strange thing happened in a village in Qinling Mountains.
This village has always been isolated from the rest of the world. Even the island nation's invasion of the Dragon Kingdom did not affect this village.
In 1987, it was an era of rapid development in Longguo, and this village welcomed its first wave of outsiders.
It is a drilling force sent by the country to drill wells for water supply in remote mountainous areas to solve the problem of difficulty in drafting and drinking water.
At that time, when the drilling unit came to the village, it was refused entry. After many negotiations, no results were obtained.
But they can't just withdraw. If they go back without completing their mission, they will definitely be punished.
The platoon leader of this unit thought of a way to get the best of both worlds. They planned to dig a well outside the village.
It is not far from the village and can be easily used by villagers. There is no need to run down the mountain to fetch water.
Similarly, they can also complete the task and go back to communicate with the organization.
After surveying, they selected a location, about twenty meters outside the village entrance, and began to lower the drill bit.
Originally, it was very difficult to drill wells in mountainous highlands. Their drilling team used to drill the drill bit many times and might not be able to produce water.
This time, I was very lucky. I hit the target with one blow, and a few hours later, water started to pour out.
The villagers who had been observing in the village were very happy to see that this group of outsiders really came to help them and actually pumped out water.
From the initial vigilance, rejection, and non-acceptance, it turned into warm hospitality.
When the platoon leader leading the drilling unit saw the water coming out, he first ordered the water hole to be plugged, and then started manpower to dig down along the drill bit.
At that time, because cement pipes could not be transported to the mountain, cement pipes could not be lowered to make cement wells.
They could only use the most primitive method, digging it manually and then building the well body with stones.
In this way, they were busy until dark. Originally, the platoon leader was planning to work all night.
It started to rain heavily. When the villagers saw this group of soldiers, they sincerely helped them. After seeing the rain, they invited them into the village and provided them with houses to shelter from the rain.
After entering the village, the platoon leader said: "Village chief, no one lives in this courtyard, let's take shelter here from the rain!"
The village chief said that he had arranged a place for the soldiers in his house and told the platoon leader that the yard was not clean and there was dirt.
The platoon leader said at that time: "We don't believe that. This place is close to the entrance of the village. We will take a short rest here and wait for the rain to stop so that we can continue working."
The village chief couldn't control the platoon leader, so he had no choice but to allow them to enter the courtyard at the entrance of the village.
This courtyard feels like it has just been renovated not long ago. The bricks, tiles and mud walls are all newly built.
The yard is large and there are many rooms inside.
A platoon of soldiers, plus people from the drilling team.
There were forty-eight people, all crowded into the house, and they started living and cooking.
At this time, Old Man Jin, the leader of the drilling team, led the men to fix the drilling machine and was the last one to enter the house.
After coming in, he looked around.
Then, suddenly, everyone in the drilling team was dragged away from the house.
And, let everyone move out.
He even quarreled with several soldiers over this matter.
After the platoon leader heard this, he ran over from other rooms and asked what happened.
Old Man Jin pointed at the beams and said with his leaky mouth: "This house is the best among haunted houses. You will get into trouble here."
Everyone looked up and followed his fingers.
There are seven knife marks on the beam.
None of the soldiers, including the platoon leader, knew what it meant.
Mr. Jin said slowly: "Every knife mark means that a person hanged himself on this beam.
There is a custom in this area of Shaanxi that if someone hangs himself in a room, a mark will be cut on the beam.
There are seven marks on this beam, which means that seven people hanged themselves here.
Maybe, this is the reason why this courtyard is empty."
After Mr. Jin finished speaking, there was a commotion among the soldiers and drilling crews.
A flash of lightning flashed across, and they seemed to see seven corpses hanging there.
However, the platoon leader was unwilling at this time. He pointed at Mr. Jin and said that he was feudal and superstitious and talking nonsense.
In the 1980s, it was the time to combat feudal superstition.
As a platoon leader in the army, it was naturally the decision of the user party that he finally climbed to this position.
Old Man Jin sighed and did not argue with him, but took his son and daughter out of the yard.
The other drilling crew members hesitated.
At this time, the food was out of the oven, which immediately gave up their idea of going out.
Old Man Jin's children followed him and persuaded him.
But he just refused to go back, and he was determined not to allow the two of them to go back to that yard.
The three of them squatted all night in the donkey shed at the entrance of the village.
The next morning, the heavy rain gradually stopped pouring.
That night, nothing ominous happened as Old Man Jin said.
After everyone had breakfast, they started working again.
Because it had rained all night, the bottom of the dug well was full of mud and rainwater.
The platoon leader first arranged for people to go down and clean up the mud.
Suddenly, a man cleaning the mud underground began to scream, his voice was extremely miserable.
Everyone thought something had happened, and they all lay down at the mouth of the well and looked down.
But after shouting for a while, the man returned to normal. When others asked him what he was shouting about, he said he didn't shout.
Just when everyone was wondering, the other three people at the bottom of the well suddenly began to yell, and the voices came and went, which was even more terrifying.
After more than ten seconds, these people returned to normal. When others asked, they also said that they did not shout.
Then everyone dispersed in a hurry, thinking that the four of them were bored at the bottom of the well, teasing everyone, and joking with everyone.
