Chapter 32: The Short-lived Slope
Zhu Zile didn't care at first, but the next day, when his tongue really began to fester, he was frightened, found his best friend Zhou Liang, and asked him to accompany him to dig up Zhu's bones, but that day Zhou Liang's sister got married, and he himself was a little scared, so he refused.
Speaking of this, Zhou Liang felt very guilty, clenched his hands into fists and pressed the desk hard and said, "I should have accompanied him, my friend is too incompetent......"
Lu Ting's heart and I suddenly lifted up and asked, "Then what?" ”
Zhou Liang raised his teary eyes and said, "Zile is missing, Shu Yao and I have been looking for three days and have not heard from him at all, I guess he encountered something terrible in the woods, so ...... I'd like to ask you to accompany me to that mountain forest to have a look! As he spoke, he took out a small paper bag from his arms and said, "I know things are not easy to do, but we only have 3,000 yuan, and I hope the two classmates can help us!" ”
After the negotiation, Lu Ting pulled me.
I rolled my eyelids and said, "No, the price of the current rune paper is very expensive, and besides, this matter doesn't seem to be simple, and I can't make it back if I don't make the capital!" ”
Lu Ting said: "Everyone is a classmate, how can you see death and not save it?" I know that the three of them are not rich, and it is good to be able to make up 3,000 yuan, so let's agree! ”
I looked at her and said, "It's okay if you want me to go, unless you ......."
"Unless what?"
I said, "Kiss me!" Peeking at her, this girl's face turned red instantly, and she was stunned for a while before she realized that her expression was too inferior, and she said angrily: "Kiss you, I'll kiss you with my hand now!" As he spoke, he pinched me several times and ran as fast as he could.
At the end of class in the afternoon, I received a text message from Lu Ting, saying that she was already at the school gate, and Xia Shuyao was the first time among the three, and she looked good, but unfortunately her face was not very good, which affected the overall score.
Zhou Liang didn't know where to get a three-wheeled motorcycle, and when he smelled the smell, he knew that it was used to pull vegetables all year round, but fortunately it was open, and the fishy smell and rotten smell of vegetable leaves were almost blown away by the wind, even if the two beauties didn't mind, it would be hypocritical for me to rub it again.
The car arrived at the ground, this is a flat hillside surrounded by water, at this time, together with the river water is reflected red by the afterglow of the setting sun, I squinted my eyes to see, only to see the woods, there is a wave of yin, startled, I rubbed, what is going on, how is the yin in that woods so heavy.
At this time, an old man was driving the ducks back, and I stopped the old man and asked, "Hello old man, how about chasing the ducks?" We want to ask you a question! ”
I saw Zhou Liang bulging in his pocket, knew it was a cigarette, beckoned to him, Zhou Liang understood, took out a cigarette case to smoke, was robbed by me of the whole bag, stuffed it to the old man, pulled him to sit down on the dam and said: "We are students playing, accidentally got into that forest, just such a small forest, we took a long time to find a way out, as if we encountered a ghost hitting the wall, old man, is there any way here?" ”
The old man took the cigarette, smoked one happily and said, "Fortunately, you came out before dark, otherwise it would be troublesome, that forest, called short-lived slope!" ”
I took the opportunity to ask, "Why did you come up with such an unlucky name, and what is the origin?" ”
The old uncle replied with a puff of cigarette and said, "What's the origin, it's that all the short-lived ghosts buried in it are there!" ”
I nodded and said I understood, "But there's one question I don't understand, why this forest is called Short-lived Slope!" ”
The old uncle put the bamboo pole on the dam and told us about the short-lived slope. Rural people are very heavy on mourning, but for the premature death is particularly sloppy, not only do not give to the ancestral grave, there is no coffin, of course, there is no card, basically dig a pit and bury.
The reason why this forest is called the short-lived slope is that they are used to bury the people who died young, the people who died untimely are not like the old and dead people, the heart is very deep when they die, the yin in the forest is very heavy, except for noon, basically no one dares to approach there in the morning and afternoon, there are people who go to the short-lived slope to find because of the loss of poultry, and go crazy when they come out the next day......
At this time, Xia Shuyao couldn't help but interject and asked, "Uncle, do you have a person named Zhao Ziyong here?" ”
Hearing this, the old man's face changed greatly, and he threw the cigarette to us and said, "I don't know!" "Just carrying the bamboo pole and leaving, our hearts suddenly kicked for a moment, listening to the tone, the old man knew, I don't know what Zhao Ziyong did before his death to make him so angry.
I hurriedly grabbed the old man and said, "Don't be angry, listen to us first!" Saying that, he stuffed the cigarette back into his hand, and the old man sat down reluctantly, and after listening to our words, he immediately said angrily: "This Zhao Ziyong, who killed so many people in his life, and wants to harm people after his death, he should not have been buried back in the village if he knew it!" ”
I grabbed the old man and asked, "Uncle, what do you say he hurt people when he was alive?" ”
The old man sighed and said: "I don't know exactly what it is, this was all thirty years ago, I heard the police say that he set fire to the entire classroom, burned dozens of students to death, and then climbed to the top of the building and jumped off the building!" The old man said fiercely: "We shouldn't have been soft-hearted in the first place, it was that little bastard who begged his mother to let him enter the village, but I didn't expect that after 30 years, he would make trouble again!" ”
Here I want to explain that people who die by mistake, as long as they die outside, are generally not allowed to enter the village for burial, and there are superstitions in the countryside that will bring bad luck to people.
When the old man heard that someone had disappeared by Zhao Ziyong, he was so angry that he didn't smoke anymore, and said, "You guys wait, I'll go home and get a flashlight, and I'll accompany you in to find him!" ”
I said, "No need, old man, don't worry about us, I'm a Mr. Yin and Yang, I'm not afraid of those things, you just need to tell me where Zhao's tomb is!" ”
The old man thought about it, told us the location of Zhao Ziyong's tomb, and after saying goodbye to the old man, we walked towards the short-lived slope.
Because of the waterfront, there are all broad-leaved trees here, and the dense light can't leak in at all, and it's still daytime outside, and it's as dark as night inside. The leaves are thick and give off a pungent musty smell.
The forest was quiet, deathly still, but in the silence there were strange noises from time to time, the sound of squirming footsteps, the creaking of rats grinding their teeth, and the reflective eyes of wild dogs twinkling in the woods.
This is not surprising, wild dogs like to eat carrion the most, folk call the kind of very thin coffin called dog meeting, which means that wild dogs will break the coffin and drag out the corpse inside to eat. It was even more convenient if there were no coffins, almost every small grave had holes dug out by wild dogs, and the ground was littered with the clothes and bones of some people.
Among them was the corpse of a child, who looked to be only two or three years old, with only a gnawed head left unrecognizable, and his eyes had long since turned into two pools of black water, staring distractedly at the sky obscured by the leaves.
When Xia Shuyao saw such a terrible scene at first glance, she was so frightened that she took a step back, and screamed again: "Classmate Zhang, save me, save me, I was caught by a ghost!" ”
When I looked back, I saw Xia Shuyao's hind heel stepping on someone's grave, and the owner of the grave was naturally not angry, so he grabbed her foot.
I walked over and persuaded: "This benevolent brother, Shu Yao is unintentional, it is better to forgive her this time!" ”
The master of the tomb looked at the Hundred Dynasty Sword at my waist and let go of his hand. xh118
