Chapter 137: The Village That Moves
Looking at the wet line of water droplets on the ground, I couldn't help but feel numb in my scalp.
Is there really anyone in this village that has been deserted for more than 20 years, if it is not people, then the rest of the things needless to say, must be the dirty things that live in this village.
Could it be that my supervisor and hearing officer opened up automatically? It's because of the water-carrying thing
If this is the case, then there is more than one filthy thing living in this village
I asked Wang Junhui what he meant, and he shook his head and said, "The main purpose of our coming here today is to fetch water, don't make any extraneous branches, let's go, let's go along the waterline to the mountain, and the well should be over there." As for the thing that carries the water, we'll see you next time. ”
It's true that we didn't have any preparations for entering the village this time, so we just came to explore the way, so naturally we can't have anything to do with the things in it.
We walked halfway up the hill along the waterline, and although I could feel something around me along the way, I couldn't see it, they were all well hidden, and they didn't mean to show up in front of the four of us.
It's not a big village. Soon we were halfway up the mountain and saw the so-called grievance well.
There is a half-stone tablet next to the well, which should be the merit tablet erected by those villages for Bailing.
In the same way, the reason why it fell was also smashed by those villagers.
It's ironic.
Thousands of years ago, the people of Bainiaozhai set up the Sihuang Temple for the Four Phoenix Immortals, but a hundred years ago, the people of the Bainiao Village changed the Sihuang Temple into a foreign church, which caused the Sihuang to be sadly expelled, and the Sihuang Spring was cut off.
Now the people of Bainiaozhai first dug a well for Bailing to make a meritorious monument, and then they had to smash the monument to fill the well, causing Bailing to commit suicide by throwing himself into a well, and becoming a person who resented the ghost of the well and slaughtered a village.
Maybe it's all fate.
Looking at the fallen stone monument, none of us immediately walked over, we were all afraid of the past. Something suddenly burst out of the well.
I looked at the wet line of water on the ground, which came from the well, which meant that something had come here to fetch water.
As soon as I entered this village, I encountered such an evil thing, and I couldn't help but start to flutter a little in my heart.
Wang Junhui took a deep breath and said, "Don't think about anything, we're here to fetch water, let's fetch water first." ”
Second Master Tang rubbed his fingers and said, "That's right." ”
Master Lu twisted the Buddha beads a few times, but still just recited a Buddha name: "Amitabha"
When I arrived at the well, I suddenly felt a cold air wafting out of the well, and I couldn't help but take a step back, there was no abnormality.
Each of the four of us stood on one side of the well and looked into the well at the same time.
The water surface of this well is about three meters away from me, and I can't see the bottom of the well, and there is no debris on the water surface, which shows that this well is often used, but it is not necessarily a person who uses this well.
There is a layer of water ripples on the surface of the water, which also indicates that someone has come here to fetch water just now.
We looked at it for a while. Nothing was found in the well.
There was nothing unusual, so Wang Junhui untied the kettle on his body, then took out the rope, tied the lock on the kettle, and then sent it into the well to get water.
The mouth of this kettle is so small that it has to be constantly swayed to get the water inside. At this time, the whole well made a "whooshing" sound of water, and even sometimes the kettle would touch the wall of the well, and in addition to the sound of water in the whole well, there was also the sound of "dangdang" kettle collision.
This sound usually doesn't sound like much, fetching water in the well, isn't it this sound, but now, we are in this deserted village of Bainiaozhai, this sound makes us start to panic a little in our hearts.
Listening to this voice, I looked at Second Master Tang and Master Lu, they seemed to be very calm.
Fortunately, everything went smoothly and there were no surprises.
It took about half an hour for the four of us to fill the kettle on our backs.
Hit the water, we naturally will not stay here longer, directly carry the kettle and prepare to leave the village, but we just left the well more than ten steps, and then heard the sound of "whooshing" water in the well, I was just about to look back, Wang Junhui grabbed my arm and said: "Don't look back, it's not the time to meet her, let's go out of the village first." ”
As soon as Wang Junhui said this, I was scared out of a cold sweat, did the ghost ghost behind me appear.
None of the four of us looked back, and naturally no one saw her, but I could clearly feel that she was just a few meters behind us, we walked fast, she walked fast, we slowed down, her pace slowed.
It was at this time that I heard the sound of a "squeak" of a bucket writhing on a hook in front of us.
This indicates that a "man" carrying an empty bucket is approaching us.
Master Lu did not chant the Buddha's name this time, but said "huh".
Wang Junhui and Second Master Tang also listened thoughtfully to the sound of the empty bucket.
It's just that the sound of the empty bucket "squeaked" for a while, and instead of approaching us, it seemed to go further, and finally the sound disappeared completely.
I couldn't hear that voice anymore, and I didn't dare to look back and asked Master Lu, "Grandpa Lu, did you feel something strange just now?"
Grandpa Lu nodded and said, "I heard something stepping on the ground, it was the footsteps of people, ghosts can't come out, but it is impossible for talents to appear in this deserted village."
At this time, I suddenly remembered one thing, that is, didn't the people who came here last time to investigate not find Lin Bailing's parents, could it be that Lin Bailing's parents have been living in this village for the past 20 years.
Before I could say what was in my heart, Wang Junhui said, "Let's leave this village first, and then come in tomorrow when we are ready." ”
We walked quickly to the thick fog, and the method we used to get out of the thick fog was led by Wang Junhui.
When we left the village, we dared to look back, only to find that the fog was disappearing.
I hurriedly asked Wang Junhui what was going on, and he shook his head and said, I don't know, let's get out of here first, the situation we encountered this time is different from the situation when those supernatural powers came twenty years ago, they didn't find anything other than ghosts in the village.
We hurried down the mountain, and it was already completely dark, but there was a very round moon in the sky, and I remembered that today was the fifteenth day of the lunar calendar, and it was the night of the full moon.
When we got back to the camp, we saw the people in the camp looking up, but from their eyes, they were not looking at us but at the mountain.
When we looked back, we found that the fog on the mountain had lifted, and a deserted village was completely presented to us.
Seeing us coming back, Lin Sen and Zhang Shaojie hurriedly went to pick up the kettle from the two seniors.
Xu Ruohui also came over to help me unload the kettle, and at the same time pointed to the mountain and said: "The village on the mountain has appeared little by little, just like a mirage, it's too strange." ”
I nodded.
The fog cleared, and I always felt that it was not a good sign.
Second Master Tang suddenly said: "Could it be that the ghost spirit of the grievance well deliberately removed the dense fog and then led all of us into the village?"
No one answered Second Master Tang because no one knew the answer.
Looking at the village, Wang Junhui diverted the topic and said: "Don't care about those for now, Yajing, you check the water quality, if there is no problem, use these to cook, boil some hot water at night, soak everyone's feet, walk for a few days, it is estimated that your feet are tired." ”
Li Yajing nodded.
And at this time, Yi Wu suddenly pointed to the northeast corner of the village and said, "Look, cooking smoke"
Smoke
Hearing these two words, all of us looked in the direction that Yi Wu pointed to, and sure enough, a faint wisp of green smoke rose, so far away from here, if you don't look carefully, or your eyes are not good, it is impossible to see it at all.
Xu Ruohui asked me: "On the first day of junior high school, are there still people living in that village?"
I shook my head and said, I don't know, and then told me about the waterline we just saw in the village of Bainiaozhai.
Then I went over the speculation that my lark parents might still be alive in the village.
Hearing me say this, everyone asks me, "You see it"
I shook my head and said, "Guess." ”
Wang Junhui was silent for a while and said: "No, even if there is something in the village, it is not a living person, and there is that smoke, how do I look at it, how do I feel that there is an evil spirit." ”
I turned my head and asked Yun Wu, what else did you see?
Yun Wu shook her head and said, "It's gone." ”
It seems that I still overestimate his abilities as a geek.
Jiang Shuihan said: "We can't guess here, so it's better to go through it again and go to the scene to find out." ”
Master Lu shook his head and said: "Reckless, we must come step by step, we must not mess up the rules, we will prepare tonight, and then enter the village early tomorrow morning." ”
Most of them nodded in agreement with Master Heron's proposal.
We make a fire here to cook, and the smoke in the village is getting thicker and thicker, and when we cook here, the smoke over there will stop.
It looks like we're going to have dinner at the same time.
When eating, Xu Ruohui may feel a little cold, so she is very close to me.
I asked her to get into my coat and asked her if she was still cold, and she smiled and said, not cold, but a little scared, she felt as if something was watching us on the mountain.
Xu Ruohui didn't say it, but I didn't think that when she said this, I really felt like this.
It's as if the village is alive, and if it wants to hide, we can't see it, and if it wants to show itself, we can see it clearly at the bottom of the mountain.
A bowl of hot noodle soup in my stomach, I felt a lot warmer, everyone chatted for a while, looked at the deserted village under the moonlight for a while, and went back to the tent to sleep.
The first shift tonight was me and Lin Sen, so Lin Sen and I stood at the gate of the camp fence in our coats and chatted quietly.
Of course, we are talking about the deserted village, because the more the deserted village goes to night, the more real it becomes, and I don't know if it is an illusion, the village and the mountain seem to be getting closer and closer to us.
