According to modern science, the so-called ghost hitting the wall means that when walking at night or in the countryside, you can't tell the direction, your self-perception is blurred, and you don't know where to go, so you keep walking in circles.
When telling others about such experiences, it is difficult for others to understand, so it is called a ghost beating the wall. In fact, this is a state of hazy consciousness in humans.
However, Xiao Chen knew that some frightening things could not be explained simply from a scientific perspective.
This is like why Master Zhou's uncle Qin Yong lives in a villa with a cemetery underground. Why did he suddenly develop advanced lung cancer?
When encountering this kind of thing now, according to Dr. Wu and Dr. Liu, it is a normal phenomenon, so they will not be afraid.
However, Brother Yang was afraid. For these Miao people, the most fearful thing was encountering strange things, especially when it was still late at night.
"Dr. Xiao, I'm afraid, I don't dare to leave." Brother Yang said.
"You are a young and energetic young man, what are you afraid of? Evil prevails over good, if you say anything more terrifying, am I not here?"
What Dr. Wu, Dr. Liu, and even Brother Yang didn't expect was that Xiao Chen carried with him, in addition to the silver needles, one was given by the master, the other was given to protect himself, and there were also a bunch of needles that he carried with him.
Yellow paper.
He has no use for these yellow papers.
However, Xiao Chen didn't know when he would use it.
Now, Xiao Chen knows that it can be used just right.
After seeing Xiao Chen take out the yellow paper he was carrying with him, Brother Yang and Dr. Liu both looked at in disbelief that Dr. Xiao was actually carrying these things.
"Dr. Xiao, what are you doing with this?" Dr. Wu asked strangely.
"Soon, you will know!"
Xiao Chen looked at Brother Yang aside and asked, "Do you know the birth dates of Yang Laowu and other tree fellers?"
"I know two people."
After all, rural people may not celebrate birthdays as grandly as in big cities, and they may not eat cakes, but they still kill chickens and ducks to invite people to dinner on their birthdays, so Brother Yang remembers two of them.
"Then do you remember what they look like?"
"I know, I know." I have lived in Yangjiazhai for more than 20 years and have met Yang Laowu and the others often. How could I not remember them?
Brother Yang didn't know why Xiao Chen was asking these questions, but it always felt a bit unreasonable.
"Then what do you think they look like?"
After Brother Yang simply told the appearance and birth dates of the two tree fellers, Xiao Chen took out the yellow paper and folded it directly according to what Brother Yang said. Then he muttered a few words and put it on the torch to burn.
, and finally only the ashes are left.
Xiao Chen said: "There is no need to be afraid of ghosts hitting the wall, their souls will lead us there."
"Xiao, Doctor Xiao, why do I feel weird?" Dr. Wu said.
Xiao Chen smiled, but didn't say anything.
Now Xiao Chen is walking in front with a torch, while Brother Yang is behind the crowd, and Dr. Wu and the other five are in the middle. Now I don’t know why Brother Yang feels that his hands are shaking, his feet are shaking, and his whole body is shaking. He feels that Xiao Chen just can’t
Are you calling for spirits?
Otherwise, why would Xiao Chen say those words?
However, he was afraid, but continued to follow Xiao Chen.
As for Dr. Wu and Dr. Liu, they are deeply influenced by Western culture and do not believe in ghosts. Moreover, dissection of the dead was a common thing in the past.
There is no need to be afraid of those who are already dead.
Dr. Wu was very curious about what Xiao Chen did just now.
Now Xiao Chen was walking directly in front. Others could not feel it vaguely, but Xiao Chen felt that there was something guiding them.
Xiao Chen and Brother Yang walked for a long time. It felt like they had walked for about three or four hours, and it was almost past one o'clock in the morning.
Finally, Xiao Chen found that he no longer felt the footsteps. When Xiao Chen stopped, he found that he did not encounter the situation where the ghost hit the wall just now. Instead, he came to an unknown place.
Here, Xiao Chen saw several big trees around, all of which had been cut down. Now only the wood and the branches were left.
These branches still look very new. This should be the place where Yang Laowu and others cut wood for the last time before they fell ill.
"This is the place where Yang Laowu and the others cut down trees for the last time." Xiao Chen said lightly.
There was nothing wrong with walking just now, but now that I stopped, except for Xiao Chen, Brother Yang, Dr. Wu, Dr. Zhang, and Dr. Liu were all very tired. Moreover, they didn't feel scared just now. I don't know why, but now they feel
I felt an indescribable feeling of fear.
Why is this happening?
they do not know.
Maybe it’s the fear of the unknown!
"Xiao, Doctor Xiao, I'm scared." Brother Yang said.
At this time, he didn't look like a vigorous young man at all. Instead, he felt very scared for some reason.
"What are you afraid of? The souls of Yang Laowu and others have long since dispersed, and they won't come looking for you."
"Well, what about you just now?"
Xiao Chen ignored Brother Yang. He first found a place nearby to make a big fire. Then Xiao Chen discovered that all the old trees that were cut down here were camphor trees. These camphor trees were at least two to three hundred years old. If they were
Before it was cut down, it must have been a towering tree.
Now that everything was light around, Xiao Chen found that there were many sawdust left by the tree-cutting chainsaws on the ground, and there was also a large area of activity. The small trees and weeds that had been crushed to death had not yet recovered.
So many old trees were cut down. How much time did Yang Laowu and others spend during their lifetimes?
When he saw Brother Yang still shivering, Xiao Chen asked: "The last time Yang Laowu and the others cut down trees before their death, that is, in this place, how long did it take them?"
"Maybe half a month." Brother Yang said.
Xiao Chen learned from Village Chief Yang last night that Yang Laowu and the others went into the mountains to cut trees. They did not go back and forth several times a day, but went up the mountain with dry food. This meant that they were working in the mountains while doing so.
Rest and eat, wait until the old trees are cut down and the dry food is finished, then go back to the village to get dry food, and then come back to move the cut old trees outside.
Xiao Chen guessed that this was the case, but as for the specific process, Xiao Chen was not very clear yet.
Xiao Chen had done a lot of work, so he asked Brother Yang, Dr. Wu and Dr. Liu to sit there to rest and drink water from the vines, and then started to work.
Of course, Xiao Chen is already looking for useful clues now.
After Dr. Wu and Dr. Liu rested for more than half an hour, they finally regained their strength. Soon, they entered working mode like Xiao Chen and began to look for useful clues. (To be continued)
