When that unknown woman broke into our village, the first person she met was me, and the second person was Lao Liu.

At that time, I was fighting with Lao Liu. Lao Liu was fat and strong. He pushed me over and I hit a hard object. The object seemed to stagger a few steps due to my impact.

Turning around, I saw a thin and dirty woman, wearing a gray tattered gown, dragging a thin and dirty little girl in her hand. Her hair was messy on her face and she was wearing a dark red skirt.

Dry nose covered with snot

The woman and I looked at each other, then at Lao Liu, and then looked ahead blankly.

Lao Liu and I looked at each other, at a loss. I was impatient. After a while, I couldn't help feeling awkward. I was too embarrassed to ask the woman, so I walked over to the expressionless girl and said, "What? Escape?"

"?" After saying that, I moved my eyes towards the woman.

Naturally, the female doll didn't respond to me. This is a common problem for children when they meet strangers. Especially when little girls see a strange older brother, a woman turns around and stares at me a little strangely: "Yeah" in a low voice.

"In what age are you still running away?" I looked at the woman with disdain and thought, she was not kicked out by her husband's family.

"Just...escape"

I saw that she was talking nonsense, so I didn't bother to talk nonsense to her. I slapped Lao Liu who was smiling on the side and dragged him back.

The sun was about to set. We were chatting and joking all the time and forgot about the woman.

People in the whole village killed each other, but they thought it was the that killed them...

I woke up the next day when the sun was hot enough to hit the kang. When I woke up, my first thought was to find a fight with Lao Liu. I jumped out of bed and ran out without even washing my face, heading straight to Lao Liu's house.

After running for a while, I came back again, because I saw the little girl that the woman pulled yesterday. She was sitting next to a firewood pile not far from our house, with her head lowered, not knowing what she was doing.

I walked over and yelled at her: "What are you doing!" I wanted to scare her, but to my surprise, this little girl was so skilled that she wasn't scared by me at all. She slowly raised her head and stared calmly.

My face under the dirt was very pale, expressionless, and my eyes were dull. I didn't scare her, but I was shocked by her dead expression.

"Damn it, you drank pesticide, you look so dead, I can't be bothered to pay attention to you..." In order to cover up my frightened expression, I stopped paying attention to her and went to look for Lao Liu while cursing. But I turned around and kept walking until I reached that road.

At the end, I felt a cold feeling on my back, as if there was a pair of eyes staring at me.

The old six dead pigs were lazier than me. It was almost noon and he was still in bed. I went over and lifted his quilt, grabbed his ears and asked, "Yesterday, that woman refused to leave because of our village?"

Lao Liu's uncle is the village chief, so he naturally knows more details than I do. While cursing, he pulled my hand away and muttered: "Damn, you god, you did it so early in the morning..."

"Say it quickly! It's so early in the morning, lunch has already been eaten, dead pig..."

"My uncle saw her and interrogated her a few times. She was told that her village was poor and there was a again. People who died and escaped were all from women's families. They fled to us. My uncle looked pitiful and let her go.

She stayed"

"Your uncle is really a ! If they get infected and spread to us, there will be no end!"

"No, my uncle asked and she said she was not infected, so she had the strength to escape to our village."

I frowned and said nothing. Somehow, I always had a very uneasy feeling. Maybe I was afraid that the woman and her daughter would bring the disease to us.

When I went back in the evening, I saw a lot of excitement on the way. I saw a group of people surrounding a person who didn't know what they were doing. It was very noisy. When I got closer, it turned out that it was the people in the village who were scolding the outsider woman.

I squeezed in and took a look. She was squatting on the ground and crying silently. The little girl was standing next to her, her eyes dull. She looked at the people around her from time to time, showing an expression of anxiety and irritability. I asked Aunt Wu next to her: "What's going on?"

?”

"A damn woman with the dares to go to our Qinghe River to fetch water. Is the easy to mess with? What do you think we should do if it pollutes our water and infects us? You're a damn woman who doesn't know what's good for you."

You know Zhuzhu, there is a reservoir under the hill behind, and everyone told her to go there to get water, not with us, but she didn’t listen, and still fetched water from Qinghe River, didn’t everyone get anxious!”

I smiled and said, "Didn't the village chief say that this woman is not sick? Why is she sick now?"

The old man said: "That's not necessarily the case! The village chief is kind-hearted. If we let the village escape, we are still alive. If we get sick, everyone will be killed!" He glanced at the woman and said,

Suddenly lowered his voice and pointed at me: "Don't be afraid of ten thousand, just be afraid of what happens."

It was night, and every house turned on the lights, adding a touch of brightness to the dark air. I don’t know when the group dispersed. When I left, they were still pointing around the mother and daughter. In fact, I thought it was pity for those two people.

Yes, such a big thing happened in the village. Now I have no relatives and no excuses, and I am still being pointed and scolded by others. I am afraid it will be unspeakably bitter.

Suddenly I heard a very rapid barking of a dog in the distance. I looked for the sound, and it seemed that it was coming from the hill behind the village. Whose dog ran there late at night?

Curiosity drove me to take a look. However, the hill was quite spooky at night. There were cemeteries on top, and wild animals often appeared there. Even at the foot of the hill, it was very scary. I thought about it and walked towards Lao Liu's house.

Lao Liu and I followed the sound of dogs barking and unknowingly arrived at the reservoir at the foot of the mountain. There was a faint light at the other end of the pond. I don't know if it was a light or a fire.

When we got closer, we saw that it was the thin and dirty girl. She was standing with her back to us. She didn’t know what she was doing. It was so late at night and she scared me and Lao Liu half to death!

The dog's barking was made by the old man's rhubarb. It was 5 or 6 meters away from the girl. It kept barking in her direction. Lao Liu and I were surprised. Could it be that the girl was also scaring Ah Huang?

Already?

The sixth child was afraid of dogs, so I approached the girl alone while standing far away. I boldly patted her and asked, "What are you doing at night?"

She turned around slowly, with a panicked look on her face. She stayed at that angle and said hurriedly: "Help me."

I was stunned and said, "Why should I save you? Rhubarb?"

I shouted at the dog: "Dahuang, stop barking!" The little beast obeyed, grunted, sat down, and became quiet.

I turned my head and looked at the little girl proudly, but I didn't expect that she still had that deadly look on her face: "Help me."

"Why should I save you? Didn't the dog stop barking?" I looked at her doubtfully.

At this moment, Dahuang jumped up again as if he had been injected with chicken blood, and barked at the top of his lungs.

The girl seemed frightened and looked even more nervous, but she still kept her posture motionless and said: "Help me" while shaking.

I was completely speechless. I turned my head and was about to ask Lao Liu, but I saw that his face was pale and he was pointing at the reservoir tremblingly. I followed the direction of his finger and saw that my mother was scared to death.

—The old bull-terrier man was floating face down in the pool, like a leaf.

I suddenly froze in place and mechanically turned to look at Lao Liu. He seemed to be even more frightened and trembling. At this time, his eyes were staring in the direction of the little girl and he was muttering: "Big, big, big yellow... I

,I, I also saw it..."

"Don't fucking scare me, what did you see?!"

"Fuck, run!"

After saying that, Lao Liu pulled me and ran away.

The two of us stopped in front of their house out of breath. While I was catching my breath, the big-mouthed sixth man had already called his uncle out and gathered the strong men from each household to prepare for the reservoir.

Lao Liu and I followed the large army. I wanted to laugh when I saw his dull expression, so I asked him: "What did you see?"

Lao Liu was still pale, looking around like a lunatic, and lowered his voice and said in my ear: "That woman"

"Which girl? That girl doll?"

"What a girl..." Lao Liu's voice was almost crying, "That woman in gray clothes was standing in the woods behind the pool like a ghost, and she turned sideways, and her face looked like a fucking mask.

She was so white, scared, scared me to death! Rhubarb most likely barked at her, damn, if I were Rhubarb, I would pounce on her and eat her, standing there in the middle of the night, scary!"

I couldn't recover from what Lao Liu said for a long time. He paused, and suddenly continued with a solemn expression: "Maybe, that woman is a ghost..."

After hearing this, I thought of the little girl asking us to save her, the floating corpse of the old man, and the scene where he and those people besieged the woman during the day, and then my legs became weak...

I immediately asked Lao Liu to inform his uncle, and after calling all the young and old men over, Lao Liu came back, followed by a large group of people, led by the village chief.

When everyone came to the reservoir, a few brave strong men turned over the body of the old man, lifted it to the ground and put it away. When they shined a flashlight, everyone took a breath of cold air - the whole body of the old man was dead.

The man was extremely swollen and his whole body was covered in black. His eyes were wide open and the blood vessels around him were clearly visible. There were several rotten parts of his body and there were strings of blistered flesh. He looked very much like a patient dying!

Everyone started talking about it. At this time, someone shouted: "Come and help, there is someone else!"

When they were busy carrying the other body down, my back was so cold that it almost froze: it was Aunt Wu. Her death appearance was exactly the same as that of the old man.

Lao Liu was a strong man but lacked courage and concentration. He was already vomiting next to him. I resisted the supper in my stomach and pretended to be calm and said to Lao Liu: "Liu, don't throw up. Ha, hurry up and follow me."

Your uncle, tell me about the female ghost you saw."

"Go away, fuck you," Lao Liu muttered intermittently while wiping his mouth, "This... must have been done by that female ghost."

After saying that, Lao Liu pushed me away and walked into the crowd, most likely to talk to his uncle.

"What? Female ghost? Where is it? Everyone, follow my nephew, come up!" The village chief shouted, and everyone stood behind him consciously, waiting for Lao Liu to lead the way. I knew what Lao Liu was going to do, and he was really trembling.

I walked over and said, "Zhuzhu, come with me." I laughed disdainfully and walked swaggering at the front, while he followed closely behind me.

In fact, I was just pretending. Thinking of the female ghost that Lao Liu described just now, my calves almost cramped. There is no way I can pretend to be a hero now. Why did so many people and the female doll watch?

Still not allowed to show off?

A group of people entered the forest. We looked around and found nothing strange. The village chief frowned and asked Lao Liu: "Liu'er, where are the people?"

"No, I don't know. I just saw it clearly..."

There was a sudden noise, and everyone turned their heads in unison. Shit, a gray shadow flashed past like a gust of wind.

"Chase!"

An hour later, we caught the "female ghost" and carried her with all hands. When we passed the little girl next to the reservoir, the "female ghost" stared at her resentfully for a long time.

, until we threw her to the ground and the little girl saw that the crazy woman had been caught by us, her expression returned to calm, and she quietly watched the "female ghost" on the ground making such a fuss to the old and young men, and I didn't feel that

How scary the "ghost" is, just looking at her sitting and lying on the ground with her head down, there is actually a trace of pity.

Taro's father had studied Dharma from a Taoist priest at Baiyun Temple. At this time, everyone was staring at him, big eyes and small eyes.

"Burn it," Taro's father said with a sigh of relief.
