"The mountains are alive, the moon is also alive, they want to eat people... they will eat a lot of people..."
The handwriting is scrawled and confusing, and the article is full of crazy words.
Chen Yuan roughly flipped through the scattered papers one by one, and when he got to the back, he had a vaguely creepy feeling.
‘There are mountain gods in the mountains, so there should be gods on the moon...how can they eat people...'
Turning to the last page, the hand that originally put the papers back on the table stopped for a moment, and Chen Yuan's pupils shrank.
The handwriting on it appears to be fairly straight, and it can be seen that it was probably written not long ago.
"Many people died... they were eaten by them... a whole village was eaten."
A village?
For some reason, the first thing that Chen Yuan thought of was the Liuzhuang where he came. Except for the three people who went out, the whole village died inexplicably at almost the same time. Although the government had given him an infectious disease, Chen Yuan still had some doubts in his heart.
What disease can kill everyone at once, and there is only one village but no nearby villages?
Ten years... ten years...
Suddenly I remembered that the old woman just said that her eldest son left ten years ago... The incident at Liuzhuang also happened ten years ago. Could it be...
Chen Yuan looked away and looked at the slovenly bearded man on the bed.
'He may have witnessed what happened in Liuzhuang... he was so frightened that no one believed what he said and thought it was a lunatic's words...'
No matter how you feel, the two seem to make sense together.
"Chen Langjun..."
When the old woman saw that he was holding something that her youngest son had written haphazardly and kept it there, she couldn't help shouting, "This is what my son wrote when he was crazy after he came back...crazy talk, no one will say it."
letter."
"You are talking crazy words without sincerity, so they cannot be true? Madam, do you believe it?" Chen Yuan folded the pieces of paper, put them back where they were, sat on the edge of the bed, and took his pulse again.
Mrs. Chang over there was stunned for a moment and shook her head: "I want to believe it, but how can I believe it?"
"Then he was away for two months, did he come back during the process?"
It seems that she is getting older and many years have passed, and the old woman cannot remember it very well, "It seems that there is... but it seems that there is not... Chen Langjun, please go to my son's doctor first, and I will prepare a room for you."
Seeing Mrs. Chang slowly walking towards the door, Chen Yuan said quickly: "Old madam, I still have companions and my master."
"It's easy to save. Even though the yard is small, we can still make room for two rooms."
After the old woman left, Chen Yuan continued to hold the man's wrist, driving the magic power to circulate in his limbs, bones, and internal organs. If he was bewitched and went crazy, it would be easy to deal with it, but if he was frightened and went crazy, his soul would be damaged.
, then he can only rely on himself to slowly recover little by little, or the things he fears dissipate before his eyes...
Phew! Phew!
At this time, two children aged eleven or twelve were standing timidly at the door of the room. The boy among them waved to Chen Yuan.
"Uncle, come here."
Uncle~~
Chen Yuan's lips twitched, wanting to correct the child, but considering that there were many people in this world who got married at the age of thirteen or fourteen, it seemed reasonable to call him uncle.
Thinking about it, he got up and came to the two little people.
"What's the matter?"
"I just heard what you said to the eldest mother." The boy pointed to the bed in the inner room. "Second uncle is sometimes very strange. He often walks back and forth beside the bed, and often lies down to look for something. My sister and I took advantage of his absence.
When I was in the house, I got in and there was a book pressed on the bed frame."
Chen Yuan looked back and said, "Then why didn't you tell your eldest mother?"
The little girl on the side said quickly:
"I told her that my eldest mother is illiterate and can't understand what's written on it, and she doesn't dare to take it away. My second uncle will go crazy again."
"Well, uncle will look over it later."
"But don't take it away!"
Looking at the serious expressions of the two children, Chen Yuan smiled and nodded. Things that can make a lunatic care about must be what is always on his mind, such as the master.
Soon, he called Sun Zhengde and his master in, and the bullock cart stopped in the backyard. Knowing that there was a madman in the house, the fat Taoist felt a headache.
Seeing that the old woman wanted to light a fire to cook, he hurriedly went to the kitchen to help, but found that there was not much firewood, rice, oil, salt, and not even much vegetables. So he simply went to the town to buy some and brought back, rolled up his sleeves, and let Mrs. Chang rest aside in high spirits.
When it was time to eat, the two children were dumbfounded by the large table of dishes, but they waited until Chen Yuan and the other two picked up their chopsticks before they began to pick up the dishes.
As night fell, Chen Yuan used the pretext of diagnosis and treatment to go to the woman's son's room. The madman had already woken up and was squatting in the corner in a daze. Chen Yuan used a trick on him and went over to uncover the quilt on the bed.
, took out the booklet the two children were talking about from the bottom.
There is no name on the book cover. It must have been an empty book when you bought it. There are many traces of soil on it. Turn to the first page and it will be full of handwriting. If you guess correctly, it was written by this man before he went crazy.
"In the first month of the first month, Meng Chun. When my brother left home, he actually left a letter. I dare not show it to my mother and sister-in-law. The things in it are all false."
"In the first month of the first lunar month, in Shouyang, my sister-in-law returned to her parents' home, leaving behind two sons. The mother's legs were sick and it was difficult to take care of her. She felt angry and decided to find her brother. If he died, he would take him back for burial."
"Zouyue, I found out some information about my brother. It turns out that he has not gone far. He has been here for several years. I wonder if he doesn't want to see me. I have been waiting for many days, but he has not appeared."
"February, Liyue. I saw my brother, but before he came forward, he suddenly disappeared again."
The lights in the room were flickering, and Chen Yuan was flipping through a diary-like record. It could be seen that the madman went out to look for his brother, but there seemed to be some breaks in the middle, and there were signs of torn pages. He turned to the next page.
Page.
"...I found the place where my brother lived, at the foot of a mountain. I lay down far away and quietly watched him go out and walk into the mountains...I entered his house, and I felt scared inside. There were many
There are many altars on the table, with talismans on them... and there are also strange things, which seem to be used for sacrifices."
altar?
Chen Yuan frowned, this reminded him of the group of people who stole the child.
The diary continues.
"I stole a book from my brother and ran away. The records in the book were incredible. There was a passage that said there was someone underground who dug three hundred feet into the earth and could hear roars and human voices."
"Huayue, today I was found by my brother. He took the book away and warned me not to look for him again. He said that while he was searching for his father's whereabouts, he discovered something... that he needed to do. I don't understand, what
Something that could make him abandon his wife."
"On the twelfth day, there was a heavy fog for some reason. I went to look for my brother again to persuade him to go home, and I saw him walking into the mountains holding the jar. I followed behind to see what he was doing.
"
At this point in the recording, I became a little skewed, as if my hand was trembling when I wrote it.
"...I shouldn't have followed. The mountain in the fog was very strange. It seemed to be alive. From the corner of my sight, I saw it swaying slightly...it moved again...like a human being, opening a
Eyes, like the full moon in the sky.”
"That eye looked at me in the fog, and I vaguely heard its voice. It wanted to call me over, but I ran away and didn't dare to stop."
"Hongyue, I fell ill and lay in bed for a few days...I must find my brother this time..."
The record disappeared after reaching this point, and there were blank pages when he turned over it. Chen Yuan guessed that he might have followed his brother to Liuzhuang.
But what happened to the mountain and the eyes?
Is it a winning technique?
He thought about looking at the corner. The madman was huddled in the corner, staring blankly at the ground in a daze, but his lips were slightly pursed, making a sound that was difficult for ordinary people to hear.
"The moon has come in, and the mountains are going to eat people."
From the window lattice above, moonlight is pouring in.
