Chapter Eight "Grandma Wolf"
Erliang began to tell me what happened during the night vigil between the two of us a few hours ago.
After the tall man woke us up, Erliang and I kept vigil. Because we felt that two people were watching together, we began to relax mentally unconsciously, and both of us fell asleep in a daze. II
Liang was sleeping lightly and was woken up by a strange sound. When he opened his eyes, he saw a tall man getting out of the bed and sitting on the ground, with his back to us, and he was eating something unknown in his mouth.
The crunching sound sounds a bit like eating fried beans.
Erliang ignored him. Seeing that I had fallen asleep, he was ready to take up the responsibility of keeping watch, but he didn't want to get out from under the blanket, so he just lay there. But at this moment, the tall man stood up slowly.
He stood up and walked step by step in front of him and me with a knife in his hand. Erliang originally thought the tall man was weird, but now he was even more frightened and dared not speak out. He closed his eyes, leaving only a small
A small gap, if the tall man really wants to take action, he can react in time, otherwise he will scream now. With the tall man's physique, I am afraid that neither of them is his opponent, so it is better to take it by surprise.
Have a better chance of surviving.
Fortunately, the tall man didn't attack us. He just lowered his head and looked, then turned and walked out the door. Erliang said that he didn't know where he got the courage at that time. Maybe he was intimidated by his weird appearance and didn't want to.
I was worried about it again in the future, so I wanted to find out what he was going to do, so he pushed me and told me to look at my luggage, and he followed me out. Maybe I was sleeping soundly at the time, and I just responded in a daze. Anyway, Erliang said that I
I agreed at the time, but I had no impression.
Erliang followed the tall man all the way. It had started to snow in the sky at that time, but it was not too heavy. The tall man walked all the way, gradually walking towards the centuries-old honey locust tree at the entrance of the village. When he got there, there was a tree beside the village entrance.
He stopped in front of a house, then dug in the ground with a knife. After digging for a while, he took some things from the ground and put them in his pockets, and then started walking back. Erliang was afraid of being discovered by him, so
He didn't dare to follow him too close, and he didn't know what he was digging. He should have returned to the house before the tall man even noticed, but his strong curiosity finally made him decide to wait until the tall man left.
Go and see what's in there too.
When Erliang said this, his voice couldn't help but start to tremble. I was still thinking about what he said. No wonder the footprints on the ground were messy when I saw them earlier. It turned out to be the footprints of two people, not just Erliang's.
I originally wanted to ask him if he saw a woman following them, but when I saw Erliang's change, I couldn't help but ask him first: "What on earth did you see?"
Erliang was shaking even more violently. When I saw him, he seemed to want to hug me tightly. After a while, he continued: "I saw that there were bones there, the bones of dead people."
I was shocked, and I couldn't help but look at the tall man with vigilance. I knew it was customary here to bury relatives around the house, but they all had coffins, how could they be buried directly with earth? Not to mention where the tall man went.
What did you bring back?
Before Erliang finished speaking, he said that what he saw should be the bones of an adult corpse, but they should have been messed up by the tall man. Although he was scared at the time, he unexpectedly found the bones next to it.
He picked up a piece of paper and put it in his pocket, ready to find a place to take a good look at it.
Erliang was so frightened that he did not dare to come back to live in the house, but the weather was freezing and he didn’t know where to hide. He also heard our voices calling for him, but he huddled in a broken room and did not dare to answer. Finally,
I really can't stand the cold anymore. I remembered that this small temple is still relatively complete and should be able to keep out the cold. I plan to hide here for a while and wait until dawn before going back. Although I feel a little sorry, my life is at stake and sometimes there is nothing I can do.
I don't blame Er Liang, after all, except for his appearance, nothing about this Er Liang is the same as the Er Liang in my memory. The two of them are like a pair of strangers, so I won't be angry because of this.
I asked: "What's written on that piece of paper?"
Erliang's expression changed again. He took out a piece of paper from his pocket and said, "Don't be afraid after reading this."
He even dared to put the paper on the dead body of a dead man who had been dead for countless years in his pocket. He was not afraid anymore. I just took a look. How can I be so timid? So although I think this thing is weird, and I feel sad in my heart.
I felt that the paper was a little disgusting, and I was a little curious, so I took it anyway. The first time I saw the paper, I couldn't help but almost screamed.
The handwriting on it was very familiar. There were three words written in the title bar of the paper: Grandma Wolf. The name seemed to be a story about a phone call, similar to Little Red Riding Hood. What made me change my mind was the author's name written on the second line: Chu Jiangshan.
It turned out that Chu Jiangshan really existed! I turned my head and looked at Erliang with a shocked face. He obviously knew that I would have such a reaction, but he still waved his hand gently to me and motioned for me to read on.
What was written on that piece of paper was a short story. The name of the story was "Grandma Wolf". In my opinion, this does not look like Chu Jiangshan's usual writing style, because it is really a fairy tale as I thought before.
In fact, I heard many similar stories when I was a child. This is probably the earliest horror story I heard: a sister and a brother went to my grandmother's house and slept in the same bed with her at night. The sister and brother slept on one side and grandma slept on the other.
In the middle of the night, grandma got up to go to the bathroom and was eaten by a wolf. The wolf put on grandma's clothes and climbed onto the bed. While lying there, it chewed grandma's fingers in its mouth, making a crunching sound. The younger brother thought
Grandma was eating beans and crawled over to eat them. As a result, her younger brother was also eaten by the wolf. My sister heard the noise and asked "Grandma" what she was eating. The wolf said she was eating beans. My sister wanted to eat too, but she didn't want to go over and talk to "Grandma"
They slept together, so she asked "grandma" to hand the beans to her, and the wolf handed her a finger. The sister saw that the person opposite was a wolf, but she didn't dare to get up and run away in the middle of the night, so she had to huddle in the bed and listen to the wolf's mouth all night
A rattling sound.
This story really scared me when I was a child. Now that I read it again, I think it is just a fairy tale. I don’t know why Chu Jiangshan would write such a thing. I looked at it carefully and it seems that it is not finished. Unfortunately, there is only this piece of paper.
I have no way of knowing what will happen next. Because the story of "Old House" left such a deep impression on me, even though I thought it was just a very ordinary story, I always felt very depressed in my heart, as if this story should have something to tell me.
But I just didn't notice it.
This feeling made me really uncomfortable. I was about to discuss it with Erliang, but I saw Erliang quickly made a face at me, and then looked as if nothing had happened. I raised my head and saw that the tall man had woken up.
I was sitting up slowly. My head banged, and I suddenly remembered the strange appearance of the tall man that night. That day he seemed to be eating something in his mouth, making a crunching sound. If, he
What is chewing in his mouth is not fried beans, but bones. For example, the scattered bones in the ground, isn't he Grandma Wolf?
Erliang and I sat on this end, and he sat on the other end, just like the brother and sister and the wolf in the story.
The tall man turned his head, glanced at us, and said, "Why do you look so bad and didn't sleep well?" I didn't know who he was talking to, but I was sure that my face would never get better, so I responded casually.
, didn't know what he was talking about. The tall man looked outside and said, "The snow has lightened up. Let's go out and get something first, and then come back."
We don't have any objections to this point. After all, it is impossible for three people to use Erliang's small equipment, and there is not enough food. When the three of them came, they all came down from Yuntai, so naturally they also came from
I walked back that way for more than three hours, only to find that the intersection was blocked by rocks, making it impossible to get out.
It stands to reason that no matter how heavy the snow is, it is impossible to close the mountain in one night, and it is obvious that these rocks have traces of human relocation. The three of them hurried back with a gloomy face. This time they could only go out from the Xiaoyao River Reservoir, but that road
The road was even more difficult to walk, and with this kind of weather, it was easy to slide down the mountain accidentally. But when we reached the intersection again after spending five or six hours, we found that the road was blocked by rocks again.
Now everyone's heart sank to the extreme, and the tall man's face was extremely dark. Erliang looked at the tall man for a while, then for me, and for a while he looked at the backpack on the tall man. He seemed to have something to say.
I dare not say it.
The tall man glanced at him, threw his backpack over, and said, "Let's go back to the village first, try to get some food, check the weather tomorrow, and then think of other options."
Erliang grabbed the backpack and put it on his shoulders, then shook his head repeatedly and said, "Don't go to that village, it's dangerous."
The tall man and I glanced at him at the same time, as if Erliang knew something more. Under our gazes, Erliang finally lowered his head and took out a piece of paper from his pocket. I could see clearly that it was him.
The piece of paper that was picked up from a dead man and handed to me just now. Originally, when the tall man woke up, Erliang had already collected the paper first, for fear that the tall man would recognize the paper and conceal the fact that he was following him.
I can't stand it anymore. But under the current situation, if he can't find a way to go out, and the snow continues for the next month, everyone may have to explain it here. If he dares to hide anything again and doesn't explain to everyone clearly why he can't go.
Village, I'm afraid we may have other ideas.
Erliang carefully handed the paper over and looked at the tall man. I was also staring at the tall man's expression, ready to help Erliang deal with him if anything went wrong. But the tall man's face was filled with surprise and thought.
Looking extremely calm, he raised the paper in his hand and said, "Is there really a person like Chu Jiangshan?! But what's the use of this fairy tale?"
It seems that he did not find this piece of paper among the pile of corpses. Erliang and I both breathed a sigh of relief at the same time. Erliang said: "Top side." The tall man turned the paper over, and then I realized that there was another mystery behind it.
, if the tall man hadn't woken up at that time, maybe Erliang would have told me. I leaned forward and saw a sketch drawn on it. I could tell at a glance that it was a map of the entire Fengmen Village.
, although this map is very simple, it is drawn very carefully. Even the general location of each house is drawn with squares. On the two mountain roads we went out, there is a big red cross drawn on each, which is probably where
Danger means situation. And on the squares representing the houses in the village, there is a pair of small shoes drawn.
