The dawn light pierced the belly of the night, tearing open a piece of skin, exposing the blood-red internal organs to the world. The smell of burnt meat echoed above the ruins, and a crow's cry shattered the deathly calm. Yesterday
The horrors of the night will be swallowed into ashes. No one knows what happened, and no one cares.
"Damn man, I almost burned your grandpa to death."
By the lake in the mountains, my great-grandfather wiped his dark face and cursed. Children born in the countryside are all wild children. There is no one to take care of them. He is used to it since he was young, but he knows how to take care of himself. He is eleven or twelve years old.
It was the age of growing taller, so my great-grandpa worked hard all night and soon became hungry.
There are wild fruits everywhere in the deep mountains. My great-grandpa has been picking these wild fruits since he was a child, so he naturally picks them to fill his stomach. With the sweet spring water and sweet fruits, my great-grandpa has not been so full for a long time, which solves the problem in his stomach.
Afterwards, great-grandpa lay lazily on the bluestone by the lake.
But Grandpa Grandpa's heart could not calm down for a long time, and what happened last night still left him with lingering fears.
The big house was on fire, and my great-grandfather was ready to leave this place of trouble. But the moment he passed by Cao Wa, he suddenly changed his mind. Before, Cao Wa faked a corpse, and my great-grandfather was messing around with strange gods in the countryside.
There are more, naturally I know it well. Looking at the white hair that appeared on Caowa's body later, now that I think about it carefully, I can guess that Caowa pretended to be a corpse and became a white zombie.
But what happened next became more and more weird. The white hair on the grass baby turned black at some point, and the weird shouts in his mouth were even more creepy. Grandpa didn't know what was wrong with the grass baby at this time.
But he knew clearly that it would be terrible if Cao Wa could not be solved.
The fire before the man left must have been set off to get rid of the straw baby, but the great-grandfather was afraid that leaving like this would leave a legacy. If he had only written before the incident without experience, the great-grandfather would have hidden as far away as possible, for fear of causing trouble.
Upper body.But
After what happened before, my great-grandfather has changed. He has caused too many troubles. As the saying goes, a dead pig is not afraid of boiling water. And he has been back and forth several times in his life. What is lost and found is the most precious, and he does not want to go there again.
Once the gate of hell is closed.
So, the great-grandfather turned around again, drew out the gold-encrusted black knife and stabbed it hard into the grass baby's back. Strangely enough, the grass baby didn't resist at this time, and fell straight down after being cut off by the great-grandfather's knife.
Seeing that the trouble was solved, the great-grandfather naturally did not stay and headed towards the dog hole in the kitchen. The great-grandfather couldn't believe that he had solved the monster in front of him so easily, and he still took a look before leaving. Caowa stood upright.
Waiting to be devoured by the fire, there was no resistance or struggle. Even if Grandpa didn't believe it, he couldn't help but believe it when the facts were in front of him.
Some people say that a wise man will always make mistakes. Even though Grandpa Grandpa was as meticulous as a silk thread, he ignored a lot in the chaos. He did not notice that the thing scurrying under the straw baby's skin was missing, let alone the knife on his body.
Something was splashed on his skin.
The fire got bigger and bigger, so my great-grandpa gritted his teeth and soaked the human skin in the water tank, then put it on and crawled out of the dog hole. Fortunately, the layer of human skin took the pain for my great-grandpa, and the smell of burnt flesh wafted away.
Kai Lai. My great-grandpa felt his mouth slick with saliva, and he made a grunt along his throat, just like his instinctive reaction when he saw delicious food.
My great-grandfather felt a numbness on his back. He rolled and crawled out of the dog hole, and then threw off the human skin he was wearing.
"It's so evil." Grandpa patted his chest desperately, and it took a long time for him to regain his breath.
After regaining his breath, my great-grandfather felt that his nerves were about to break and he didn't want to think about those things anymore. He just stared blankly at the big house that was burning red, and suddenly felt panic in his heart. He didn't know where to go and go home.
It is no longer possible. There will be a second time if you are replaced for the first time. Escape? Where to escape? There is famine everywhere.
At that moment of hesitation, my great-grandfather saw the mountains in the distance. Only there could he have a place. Indeed, there was a lot of food hidden in the mountains. Only when you are full can you survive.
Great Grandpa thought that the fire was burning terribly, and people from the village would come over soon. He didn't want to be discovered by those people anymore, and he didn't have the strength or energy to deal with them, so he ran towards the mountains.
Finding the way is naturally familiar to country children. My great-grandpa soon stood in front of a cloud of white mist, not daring to take another step forward. This is a taboo in the countryside, because this high place in the mountains looks green all year round.
It's strange. But the ancestors passed down the word that there is a mountain god living in this deep mountain, and anyone who goes in will have a bad death. The villagers are also very superstitious, and naturally they dare not go into this deep mountain for fear of provoking the anger of the mountain god.
What's more, every village has to hold a sacrifice every year. To say it is a sacrifice, it is nothing more than asking a wizard to dance with the gods while driving pigs and sheep inside. It is also said to be an evil sect. Every time the pigs and sheep are driven in, they will start to
After calling a few times, there will soon be a dead silence. The villagers will kneel down and worship, and follow the wizard and say some incomprehensible words, but everyone believes that it is the mountain god who has accepted the sacrifice.
Grandpa Grandpa was the most naughty of the kids. He didn't listen to anything the adults said, so why would he care about these unexplainable mountain gods? But then something happened, which made all the kids around here afraid to go any closer to the mountains.
This happened five years ago, when my great-grandfather was only six years old. The person taking the lead at that time was a child named Pihou, who looked about fifteen or sixteen years old and was the child king of the village. This Pihou was violent by nature, liked to fight the most and used very dirty tricks.
, the adults are also going crazy.
I have suffered losses in my hands. But Pihou is good to children. He leads a group of big and small children and has never been bullied by people from neighboring villages. Therefore, the children in the village are both afraid of and admire Pihou.
Naturally, the status of the person responded to everything.
That incident happened in the autumn, when the harvest in the village was poor, and the adults didn't have enough to eat, so the children were naturally hungry. One day, a kid named Ni Loach said to Pihou: "Brother Pihou, you see, we kids only have one meal a day.
What should we do if we go down?"
Pihou was also a righteous person, and he felt uncomfortable when he saw the group of dolls following him. They were not full all year round, and many of the dolls were skinny and bones, with big grunting eyes, and they looked like hairless monkeys.
"Let's go, let's find some wild fruits to cushion our stomachs." Pihou waved his hand and led a group of monkey children into the forest.
Even adults who don't have enough to eat will look for those fruits. What else will be left for the children? The children who had been searching all afternoon lowered their heads, and their stomachs growled desperately.
Pihou lost his composure, touched his head and said, "Never mind, look at the deep mountains. These deep mountains are green all year round. There may be a lot of wild fruits and cattle and sheep in them."
As soon as these words came out, the monkey children were not afraid of anything, and they were hungry. Just like a group of wailing sheep seeing the green grass, the monkey children were all eager to call out to go to the mountains to collect wild fruits.
But the loach was too arrogant, so he shrank his neck and said, "The adults say that there is a mountain god living there, so we can't go there. Besides, where will it be our turn to catch the cattle and sheep?"
"What are you afraid of? The mountain god is also a god. Can he ignore us when we are hungry? Besides, this mountain god harvests our cattle and sheep every year. He can eat the meat and we can drink the soup, right?" Pihou himself was also thinking, but he was used to authority.
, where are you accustomed to others questioning yourself?
"Yes, what are you afraid of!"
"We are all babies, and the mountain god will not blame children."
"That's right, Brother Ni Loach, if you're scared, don't follow. We'll let you know when we come back." The monkey child immediately started making noises when he heard Pihou's call.
This loach was also the second most important person among the children, so naturally he didn't like what others said, so he didn't object to anything.
So, a group of people headed towards the mountains in a mighty manner, with the six-year-old great-grandfather following behind. (To be continued)
