"Ah? What's wrong?" I looked at him inexplicably, and Lao Tan also turned his head.

"Don't you know that there are no people in Huiping Village now?" The boatman looked at me inexplicably.

"There's no one left? Hey, my dad said there are still a few families in the village, and he even asked someone to look after the old house for us."

"That was half a month ago. The two elderly families in the village died. The remaining two families also moved away. Now there is no one left. If you go, you probably won't be able to eat."

I originally thought that Dad should have arranged everything, but when the boatman said this, I started to murmur in my heart.

"Lao Yuan, it seems that your preliminary work arrangements are not in place." Lao Tan came over and said to me.

Looking at our faces, the boatman said: "I think you are going to live in the town today. Going back to your hometown is nothing more than visiting the graves of the elderly. I will pick you up early tomorrow morning and I won't charge you a penny. You are from Huiping Village."

People should know that Lujiashan is very scary. Just a few days ago, seven or eight young people took my boat and insisted on going to Lujiashan to play. As a result, they called me crying at three o'clock in the middle of the night and said

I saw ghosts on the mountain and asked me to pick them up. Anyway, the mountain has always been unstable, and now there is no one there, so you'd better not stay there at night."

What the boatman said is true. The Lujia Mountain where my hometown is located has always been a haunted place. The mountains are full of old forests. In some places, even the villagers dare not go up there. The one that impressed me most is the one on the mountainside.

The bottomless cave is not far from the only way down the mountain, but no one has ever entered that cave. Liu Erluzi and I wanted to go in and have a look, but we just walked in about 20 meters away.

, the bulbs in the two flashlights exploded inexplicably, which scared me so much that I almost peed my pants. Liu Er, who has always been as bold as an ox, was frightened into a daze. We never went there again after that.

"I think the boatman is right, let's go tomorrow." Old Tan muttered, looking at the mountains covered by old forests.

I originally had this plan, but I was born in that mountain, and I was about to go back to my hometown, but I was frightened by a few ghost stories, which was a bit unexplainable. So I told Lao Tan

He frowned: "Tsk, you look like a bear, but you are still a highly educated person. My father and his guys may have been waiting in the village. Besides, I know the place well. I want to catch a ghost more than ten years ago.

That’s when I met him.”

The boatman saw that I was determined to go, so he didn't try to persuade me any more. However, when we got off the boat, he still left us his phone number and said that if we call him anytime, he will come right away.

I didn't pay much attention to it, but after his boat sailed away, I felt the heart-breaking silence in the valley. Although it was afternoon, the sun could no longer shine into the dense forests in the mountains. The way up the mountain

There is only one, and I don’t know if it was built by people from the Qing Dynasty or the Ming Dynasty with stones. Looking up, the Lujiashan that is so familiar in my memory is actually a little cold at the moment.

I was about to tell Lao Tan to go on the road, but when I turned around, I saw, my dear, this dog-like guy was already digging naked in the river.

"Are you sick?" I cursed as I put down my bag.

"Fuck, I'm here for a trip. It's a hot day. How can I take a shower? Besides, we've already been on the bus for a whole day. We can't go to see your grandpa in disgrace... Hey, this water is really good.

Cool down..." After saying that, he continued to splash in the water.

The swollen river was the Zhou River. After crossing the confluence area of ​​a few hundred meters, the green color of the Ba River water was revealed against the backdrop of the mountains. Seeing Lao Tan rejoicing in the water, I couldn't help but start to take off my clothes and wanted to get into the water.

Cool, cool.

As soon as I took off my T-shirt, I heard Lao Tan in the water say "ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh love," but I thought he had sprained his foot on a stone in the water, but unexpectedly he picked up a ball of something from the water.

That thing was white and looked like nothing at first glance. Old Tan wiped his face and said, "Damn it, what the hell, you're just pretending to be on my head." As he said this, Old Tan looked at it carefully.

That thing. At this time, I saw that one end of the thing was round, and there were black threads on it.

I was about to say that it looked like a doll, but suddenly, Lao Tan screamed "Ugh!", his eyes widened, and his whole face became distorted.

I was stunned for a moment when he called me, and then he threw the thing in his hand towards me. The wet thing rolled twice and then stopped in front of my feet.

"What the hell is your name?" I originally planned to scold him a few more times, but when I lowered my head and saw the thing clearly, I was so frightened that I fell to the ground.

I didn't react at first, but when I looked carefully, the white thing in front of me turned out to be the body of a baby. It was a female corpse. Her face rushed towards me. One eye was gone, and the other one was gone.

His eyes bulged. Because of Lao Tan's blow just now, the eye began to fall out of the socket bit by bit. I don't know which blood vessel behind the eye was pulling it. In the end, the eye just slowly...

It slowly hung in the open mouth of the female corpse.

I was almost stunned. It took me a long time to react, and then I turned my head and started retching.

Old Tan was even more miserable than me. He was hit on the head by the baby girl's corpse, and he held it up to look at it for a long time. Now he was vomiting while holding up his pants.

The two of us squatted aside and vomited for a long time, and finally recovered a little. I turned around and cursed at Lao Tan. "Damn it, why did you throw that thing towards me!? You can just throw it into the river.

Is it done!”

"Damn it, I was so scared that I peeed. How could I have thought so much?" Lao Tan was obviously more uncomfortable than me. After speaking, he turned away and vomited.

When the two people finally stopped, Lao Tan looked at the baby girl's body from a distance and asked me: "Hey, Yuan Jie, what do you think we should do? Throw her back into the river?"

I didn't know how to deal with this kind of thing at all. Looking at the terrifying and ferocious expression on the baby girl's face, I wanted to turn around and leave. However, dying in this Daba River was definitely not voluntary for this little baby, nor did it

I know which crazy bastard threw a baby into the river.

But I could only say such fair things to myself in my heart. After thinking about it, I took out my phone.

"You, you want to call the police?" Lao Tan was naturally afraid of getting into trouble, and his tone clearly didn't agree with me doing this.

"What else can we do if we don't call the police? Human lives are at stake, and we can't do anything about it, but if we leave it to the police, it might be a clue."

If something goes wrong, go to the police. This kind of thinking of city people has been deeply ingrained in the brain, but I never thought at the time that that would be the last time I thought of "going to the police."

I picked up my phone and looked at it, "Tsk, why is there no signal?"

Lao Tan snorted, "It's weird to have a mobile phone signal in such a barren mountain and old forest... Hey, Lao Yuan, I think we should think of another way."

I originally made up my mind to call the police, but there was no signal on my phone, so there was nothing I could do. It was summer now, and if I left this baby girl here, she would be picked up by wild dogs in the mountains in a long time. So,

Lao Tan and I finally decided to dig a hole and bury her. Although it was rash, it was better than leaving her dead in the wilderness.

It just so happened that we had a German engineer shovel in our equipment, so Lao Tan picked up the shovel and dug a hole aside, while I wanted to find a piece of cloth or plastic to wrap the baby girl's body. After searching for a long time, I couldn't find it, so I took out

I had a T-shirt in my bag and walked over.

The face of the baby girl really made me feel scared and unbearable, so I walked around behind the body. Just when I was about to put the T-shirt on the body, I was suddenly stunned. I saw the body of the baby girl.

There seems to be something painted on his back.

"Hey, Lao Tan, come here and take a look. There seems to be a pattern painted on the back of this corpse." I quickly greeted Lao Tan.

Lao Tan straightened up and said, "Brother, I beg you, let's bury it up the mountain as soon as possible." After saying that, he started digging the hole again.

But I was still attracted by the pattern on the back of the corpse. The pattern that appeared on the back of the baby girl's corpse suddenly appeared light red. At first glance, it looked a bit like the head of a certain door god. The lines were extremely exaggerated, and it seemed like a

A rising flame. When I got closer and took a closer look, I realized that what was painted on her back was an eye that opened in flames. That thing was not a painting, but a tattoo.

I was confused and couldn't think of any reasonable reason to tattoo a baby girl who was only three months old at most.

Not only that, I immediately discovered something even weirder.

"It's summer now. How come there's no smell at all on this baby girl's body? Even if it's soaked in water, it's not right. If it were normal, she should at least be covered in maggots.

"

As I whispered to myself, my eyes couldn't help but look around. The flies and mosquitoes by the river could be counted in legions, but the body had been here for so long, and not a single fly pounced on it.

Suddenly, an indescribable strangeness arose in my heart. Looking at the flaming eye tattoo on her back, I even felt...evil.

Then, I didn't dare to use my T-shirt to wrap the body, but changed it into a plastic bag. After hastily burying the body, Lao Tan and I didn't want to stay here for a while longer. After packing our things, the two of us headed towards

Go up the mountain road.
