Chapter XXXIII The Old Village Chief 8

Li Yuan didn't go out of the village, yes, he really didn't go out of the village, he persuaded his daughter-in-law and father, but he couldn't get out of the village. (You can find this site)

That morning there was a heavy fog, and the familiar mountain road out of the village on weekdays became like a maze, and Li Yuan's family of three couldn't get around the village, and from morning to 4 o'clock in the afternoon, they were still spinning in one place.

At 4 o'clock, when Li Yuan found that he was still in the same place with a pale face, he was deflated, threw away his luggage, sat on a big rock, and said decadently: "Let's go back." ”

His daughter-in-law didn't speak, his father didn't speak, and the fog that didn't disperse from morning to afternoon meant anything? This is against the laws of nature, and fools know that there is a problem!

"Not leaving?" Li Yuan's father also sat down, as if he was sure, and asked as if he was sure of himself.

Li Yuan looked up at the miserable white mist and said, "If you don't go, you can't go out, go back and fight, it doesn't matter if I live or die, I have to keep something." "It's a kind of determination that comes after being cornered.

Li Yuan's father said: "I'm getting old, it doesn't matter if I'm dead or alive, I always have to protect the two of you." ”

After saying this, the family of three actually cried on the mountain, which was full of desolation and could not be told at all

The way down the mountain back to the village was surprisingly smooth, the dense fog that had been surrounding them gradually dispersed, and when he arrived in the village, Li Yuan couldn't help but look back and found that there was fog on the mountain?

But this only aggravated his despair, and he understood that the old village chief did not want him to go, but wanted him to die!

When I heard the story, I was very puzzled, and I once asked the master: "It's a ghost's ability to make people get lost, is the old village chief a ghost?" ”

"No, the old village chief is an extremely special existence, I'm afraid that China can't find a few similar examples from ancient times to the present."

Unlike when we listen to stories on the train, no matter how terrifying we are, we also know that we won't enter the story, Li Yuan's case is not a special case, and the horror in the village continues.

On the way back to the village, Li Yuan met several other people, who were also villagers from the same village as Li Yuan, and they were a family.

Seeing that they were also carrying luggage and the appearance of the family going out, Li Yuan couldn't help but ask: "Can't you get out of the village?" ”

The man looked at Li Yuan, obviously startled, but suddenly thought of something, and said a little decadently: "Yes, you are the same?" ”

"The same, I dreamed of him, said 15 days, what about you?" Li Yuan is already out of the mind, so far, what else can't be said?

The man's complexion changed suddenly, he stopped, stared at Li Yuan, and said slowly: "He is under the water grass." ”

Li Yuan sighed at God, as if he was saying to himself, and as if he was saying to that person: "Our dream must be the same, he will definitely come back in 15 days, we have to inform the people in the village." ”

So, that night, more than 80 middle-aged men in the village gathered in the ancestral hall of the village, and when they talked about it, they found that there were 5 people in the village who dreamed of the old village chief.

But after all, this is a dream, and you can't get out of the village because of the fog, and with these, it is difficult to win people's trust, or in other words, people may believe it, but what can be done in the face of this kind of thing?

It's a kind of helplessness to sit still, because the enemy can't see it, you can't touch it, you can't do it, it's something you can't fight if you want to, it's like air.

Li Yuan lived a life of counting days in his dreams, and every day he would dream that the old village chief would come to tell him the time, and every time he had the feeling of scaring half his life.

He was very resistant to sleep, he didn't dare to sleep, but every day after two o'clock in the morning, no matter what he was doing, even if he gathered a few dreamers to play cards together, he would fall asleep, and the same would be true for those people.

On the penultimate day, suddenly half of the people in the village dreamed of the old chief.

At this time, even more terrifying things happened at the same time.

In the countryside, some chickens and ducks will be raised, and in the evening, those chickens and ducks will go home by themselves, and on this day, when it gets dark, most of the chickens and ducks in the village do not go home.

By the next day, a large number of chicken and duck carcasses were found in a remote mountain col with ugly faces, all of them bloodied, and some of them had been bitten.

He's back, and it's all in people's minds.

Such a concept makes people panic, in the face of life and death, there are always people who want to struggle, the people in the village began to run a lot of people on the day after finding the corpses of chickens and ducks, I don't know where to run, in short, I want to run out of this village, at least I have to get the neighboring village to take refuge, right?

Faced with such a situation, Li Yuan didn't make any movement, he just looked at the crowd and said, "You can't run away." ”

Yes, you can't run away, at least a dozen families came out of the village that day, but by the afternoon, all the dozen or so families had returned, and all of them came back with pale faces.

And it was also on this day that the chickens and ducks continued to die, and the people who did not let the chickens and ducks out also found that the chickens and ducks died in their own homes the next day.

There is nothing more terrible than dying in your own home, which means that the terrible thing has come to your own home, and instead of that, people should be free-range, and die and die, dead chickens and ducks are better than dead people.

It was the eighth day of the countdown days, and the whole village, including the children, dreamed of the old village chief.

This time, in the ancestral hall of the village, dozens of men hugged their heads and cried at the same time, could they really respond to the words of the old sacrifice, and all of them would have to die? Can't run away from them all?

Li Yuan looked at all this calmly, every day he put his heart into two things, one is to sharpen the kitchen knife, and the other is to write letters, he is not very literate, but he is also writing this letter when he looks up the dictionary, and the dictionary is still sent by the old village chief.

On the penultimate day, a man came to the village, and this man came to the village almost once a month, and this man was a postman, and he would come to the village once a month to deliver letters, and by the way, to see if anyone in the village wanted to deliver letters.

Under normal circumstances, the village generally receives more letters, writes fewer letters, and brings a lot of things out.

But today, the postman found that almost every household asked him to send a letter, and the place where the letter was delivered was very ridiculous, most of them were relatives in several nearby villages or something, and the postman wanted to say that he could do this by himself, but he found strangely that the people in the village were very insistent and wanted him to send it.

There was no way, the postman had to respond, but when he left in the afternoon, he found that dozens of people in the village were following him, and the posture was to go out of the mountain with him, they were all carrying luggage or something, and the postman also found a problem, these people had a very strange expression on their faces.

The postman tilted his head and thought for a long time, yes, a very fanatical, very fanatical hope! The postman's vocabulary was not very rich, and it was hard for him to think of such a sentence, and it was indeed because the expressions of the people in the village were so strange.

But what? The situation again made the postman feel strange, he went into the mountain, went up the mountain, and found those people spinning around the mountainside, not leaving!

No matter what he shouted, the people seemed to have not heard, and he wanted to go down to see the situation, but was stopped by a pair of trembling hands, it was a young man from the village, and he was followed by two other people, an elderly woman, a middle-aged man, and the postman was very strange, because he saw that these three men were trembling all over.

"Don't go, don't trap yourself." The boy said to the postman.

"What are you trapping in?" The postman was inexplicable, and he himself could not say what he felt, but in any case he felt strange when he entered the village today, because as soon as he entered the village, he felt a very depressed feeling, and there was a word that the postman himself did not want to say, and the whole village was lifeless!

"Let's go, don't ask!" The young man only persuaded him, but the middle-aged man grabbed the postman and ran down the mountain.

Finally ran down the mountain, and also came to the entrance road of the next village, the few people relaxed, the postman found them, they were all in tears, the middle-aged man screamed in pain, and knelt down in the direction of the village.

Seeing him kneel, the young man and the old woman also knelt down at the same time, and several of them kowtowed heavily in the direction of the village.

When he came home in the evening, the postman found it inexplicable, and the most he heard from the three men was, "I didn't go to the river that day." ”
