I smiled. No wonder Liu Yingying was reluctant to leave this home even after she suffered so much grievance. Even her mother-in-law could treat her like this. If nothing happened, they would really be a very happy family.
I guess the old lady must have seen me and Liu Yingying hugging each other last night, otherwise she wouldn't be looking for me alone.
I naturally refused this matter. The old lady was very disappointed after hearing this and asked me why. I told her more about what Liu Yingying said. When she heard that I was willing to raise money for her son’s medical treatment, the old lady suddenly felt a little worried.
I'm so excited. Poor parents in the world, which mother doesn't feel sorry for her child. If there was a chance to help her son stand up again, I'm afraid she would be willing to sacrifice her life in exchange for it.
The old lady was extremely grateful, kowtowing and saying thank you, which made me a little at a loss. It took her a while to calm down, but then I suddenly remembered Shuiyue's words and asked her: "Auntie, what are you doing?"
In this village, has anyone died unjustly in the past few decades?"
The old lady was stunned for a moment, then nodded and told me something that happened ten years ago.
There is a family in the village whose surname is Tian. There are three people in the family. The father-in-law is named Tian Shan, the son is named Tian Zhong, and the daughter-in-law is called Zhao Yulian. The daughter-in-law has not been pregnant for five years after they married. People say that she was born infertile.
That is to say, ten years ago, Zhao Yulian suddenly became pregnant, but her husband Tanaka thought that the child was not his, saying that she had stolen the child outside to get pregnant.
Zhao Yulian screamed that she was wronged, but at that time in this kind of mountain village, the patriarchal mentality was very serious. What a man said was usually considered right. Who would listen to a woman?
This incident spread quickly, and soon everyone in the village knew about it. Her husband Tanaka felt very humiliated, so he beat and scolded the woman and kept asking her to abort the child.
But Zhao Yulian was not willing to give birth to the child. One night, the Tian family was suddenly in chaos. It turned out that Zhao Yulian committed suicide by throwing herself into a well. The Tian family didn't even arrange a funeral for her. They only bought a coffin and even paint.
If she didn't get there, she was hastily carried to the mountain and buried in the woods.
There is a secret theory in the village that Zhao Yulian did not actually commit suicide, but was pushed into the well by her husband, but no one said this.
Within two years, something happened to the Tian family again. Tian Shan and Tian Zhong got a strange disease at the same time and became dementia. They always said that they saw ghosts and died within a few days. Even the funeral was held in the village.
It was a joint effort of people. Some people said that the ghost of Zhao Yulian came to claim his life. Some said that they all had delusions and the ghosts they saw were all imagined by themselves. Some said that they had a guilty conscience and suffered from mental illness due to long-term depression.
Abnormal, no one knows which statement is correct.
Sure enough, there were people who died unjustly. Is what Shuiyue said true? I said goodbye to the old lady, found Shuiyue, and told her what I asked about.
Shuiyue took the news very seriously, asked about all the details, and said, "It's probably something wrong there." After saying that, she looked up at the sky, shook her head and said, "It's already evening, we can't go any further.
Let's go there and take a look tomorrow morning, we should leave some clues."
Just as we finished discussing these things, Liu Qingping slowly turned around from a corner of the village without seeing anyone else.
When he came up to me, I heard him cursing "idiot" and other words from time to time. After asking, I found out that they all went to ask for clues. Later, I asked an old man, and the old man said that last night
When he got up at night, he saw a huge black shadow flying across the sky, more than one meter long, flying towards the woods on the mountain.
Liu Qingping thought it was just a big bird. Although it was a bit big, only birds could fly. But those people thought it was the thieves who were playing tricks, so a group of people joined together and asked Liu Yingying to lead them to the woods.
Check it out and see what clues you might find.
"A bunch of idiots." I also cursed secretly. If someone stole a child, would they bother to do so many things? But I have a feeling in my heart that if they are idiots, it is impossible for everyone to be an idiot.
There must be some reason. I suddenly thought of the question in Liu Qingping's words and asked hurriedly: "Where do you think they went?"
"That's right there, that mountain. I heard there is a forest there." Liu Qingping pointed to a place. Shuiyue and I looked at each other, then we both raised our feet and started chasing in that direction.
"Hey, hey, are you confused too? Hey, wait for me, I'll go too."
The mountain is about three miles away from the village. It takes less than half an hour to walk and less than five minutes to run.
"Shuiyue, what exactly is that thing?" On the way, I couldn't help but ask.
She looked at me and said with a serious expression: "If my guess is correct, it is the 'Night Wandering God'."
I was stunned for a moment, "Night Wandering God?" What is this? Is it the same god who walks in the night as mentioned in Journey to the West? What a joke.
"Don't ask so many questions. I don't know too much. Grandma only mentioned it to me once, so I'm not sure if it is. I hope we won't encounter that thing, otherwise there will be some trouble."
"What? That thing is powerful?"
"Don't forget, we went on a trip this time, but we didn't bring anything with us." Shui Yue rolled her eyes at me and said.
I just remembered that this time we only brought some food, and most of the clothes I wore were bought for me by Shuiyue. From the previous events, we had some self-defense weapons, daggers, spray guns, etc.
But now, if we encounter something strange with our bare hands, it will be really troublesome. It is estimated that the only things we can use now are our own bodies and the stones on the ground.
Soon we arrived at the foot of the mountain. It was a dirt mountain, relatively short among the surrounding mountains, and the trees on it were not very tall. Especially on the top, a large area was like flat land.
It's like a mountain has been cut in the middle.
Liu Qingping finally caught up with us, panting and supporting his knees with his hands. "I said, I said, are you full enough? It's already evening, why are you running here? Do you also believe what those guys say?
"
I smiled at him. I was in a hurry and didn't pay much attention to him, so I was about to go up the mountain. But he ran in front of us and stopped us. "Hey, hey, why don't you listen to what I say! Let me tell you, you are not allowed to go up this mountain.
.”
I looked at him in surprise, how did he know he couldn't go? Did he know something?
After hearing my question, he started talking eloquently: "Look at this terrain. There are stone mountains behind and on both sides, and there is only a dirt mountain in the middle. Do you know what this is called? It's called 'Ghost Tongue' because the tongue is soft.
Well, this place is a place where evildoers are born, especially if the tongue is broken. This is called the 'Broken Soul Slope', and you must not go to a place where people's lives are at stake."
There was still something to say. I looked at Shuiyue and she nodded with a smile. "I can't tell, you can also read Feng Shui," I said.
Liu Qingping smiled proudly and said: "I learned from my grandfather. In our place, he is a famous gentleman from all over the country. If anyone wants to see a house or choose a cemetery, they are willing to come to him. I
I often hang around with him, and I learn a little bit about him from time to time."
I smiled and nodded. Although he said he knew a little bit about it, he was probably better than me. I didn't know anything about this aspect, and I only understood that after having experienced a lot in recent times.
"Then tell me, can this place bury people?"
"It's not allowed. If we bury people, there might be some troublesome things." As he said, he moved forward and whispered: "Actually, I suspect that the incident of missing children in the village is related to this place.
Relatedly, I heard that there is a pregnant woman buried in this mountain. She is a fierce mother and son. If these two women come out to make trouble together, why not turn this place upside down? "
"So what do you think will come out? Furry? Or a ghost?"
Liu Qingping scratched his head, then grinned: "I don't know about that. Anyway, this place is just a troublemaker, and we can't mess with it."
It could be seen that he was really nervous, and I guess what he said was not made up, so I asked him why he didn't stop those people when they came. As soon as he mentioned this, Liu Qingping showed a hateful look and said: "
I said it, but they didn't listen, saying that I was promoting superstition. Damn it, uncle, I have good intentions but I still treat it like a donkey's liver and lungs. Especially Han Qiwei, the grandson of a turtle, this kid is too big of a thing to say what I said.
If you say that, you would have been burned to death before. Damn you bastard, burn the soles of his father's feet! And this guy Yang Yun is not a thing. Even though he is smiling all day long, I think he has some weird ideas.
It all comes from him."
"Okay, okay, don't complain. Even though they are wrong, we can't ignore this matter. We can't be unjust if they are unkind! Besides, there are more than ten lives here. If something really happens, we will feel guilty.
It can’t be safe, right?”
Liu Qingping opened his mouth, but in the end he nodded helplessly. "Okay, okay, but we have to make an agreement. If something goes wrong, I will be the first to run away. There is still a mother-in-law waiting at home.
Come on, I won't risk my life."
A standard good man and husband. Northeastern people are like this. They speak straightforwardly. If it were me, I wouldn't say it even if I had such thoughts. This is also the cute thing about him, and he will not have any ulterior motives with you.
The three of us walked up the mountain together and entered the woods. We can feel that it is really eerie here. It is not dark yet, and the visibility here is very low. We only have one hour. If we can't find it,
