Chapter 409 The second story [still 5000 chapters]
Under an old crooked-necked tree at the entrance of the village, an old man was singing.
It sounds like a donkey-skin tune.
This kind of ditty is also the accent around Lao Qianlong City. It is a kind of folk song circulated in this area. Lin Mo had heard similar songs while watching TV before, but the old man from Guimen Village sang it more authentically.
Chen Bing said, let's just walk there. Don't get into trouble and go directly to the village.
Lin Mo had a different opinion.
"Captain Chen, help me keep an eye on it, and I'll go over and make some excuses!"
Before Chen Bing could react, Lin Mo had already walked towards the old man under the crooked-neck tree.
Chen Bing was helpless, but didn't say much.
He and Lin Mo are now partners, performing tasks together, and the decision made by their partner is his decision.
At this moment, Lin Mo had arrived under the tree.
The old man looked at Lin Mo, stopped singing, and stopped talking. He just looked straight at him, his eyes a little penetrating.
"Uncle, we are foreigners. This time we came to Guimen Village to find Carpenter Zhang to make furniture. But when we passed the river at the entrance of the village just now, we heard a woman say that something happened at Carpenter Zhang's house?"
After hearing this, the old man laughed.
"Did Widow Liu tell you that?"
Widow Liu?
Lin Mo thought for a while, the woman who was washing clothes just now had a child with her father, who would have thought that she was actually a widow.
But it's normal.
If what Widow Liu was washing was her husband's human skin, this would make sense.
If your husband dies, won't you become a widow?
I have to say that this Guimen Village is a dangerous place. Before I really entered the village, there were already twists and turns, and high energy emerged one after another. Now that I really entered the village, I didn't know what weird things I was going to encounter.
Lin Mo responded quickly and answered immediately: "Widow Liu? That woman often talks about the father of the child..."
"Hey, hey, this woman is not in her right mind. Don't listen to her nonsense. But something happened at Carpenter Zhang's house. His wife was soaked in a pig cage. But last night, many people in the village said that they saw Zhang Carpenter.
The carpenter's wife is back, dripping wet and scared to death..."
It was originally a feudal family ethics drama, but now it has become a horror film.
At this time, the old man muttered: "Hey, in this world, it's hard to live without enough food and smoke. Think about it, meeting a ghost is no big deal. Anyway, sooner or later, you will die. If you die, everyone will be the same. Who can
Who are you afraid of?"
Lin Mo didn't know whether the old man really didn't understand or was just pretending, but he couldn't expose him, so he continued to act.
"Ghost? Haha, I don't believe it."
"Really, I... I actually saw it, and I won't coax you. Young man, I told you that the village is not clean and there are dirty things. I advise you not to go in. If you look at me, I won't go in."
The old man said with a smile.
At this time, a gust of wind blew from far away, blowing away the gray fog for a moment.
In an instant, Lin Mo saw a completely different scene.
There is a dead man hanging on this crooked tree.
And the dead man looked exactly like the old man.
The gray fog reunited, and the terrifying scene disappeared without a trace, just like an hallucination caused by a momentary distraction.
The old man was still standing under the tree with a smile, twitching his nose from time to time, muttering about wanting to eat or smoke.
Lin Mo always felt that the old man's feet were not touching the ground.
"Thank you for reminding me, let's go in and have a look, and come out if anything happens..."
After saying that, Lin Mo remembered that he still had a cigarette in his backpack, so he took it out and handed it to the old man, and then helped him light it.
Since you love smoking so much, it’s okay to grant the other person’s wish.
The old man took a sip, his face was beautiful.
Seeing Lin Mo about to leave, the old man narrowed his eyes.
"etc!"
At this moment, he suddenly reached out and grabbed Lin Mo's wrist.
The old man's hands were dry, cold, and dead.
"Let me tell you something else. Yesterday, a few strangers came here. They looked very evil and not good people. They were pushing a carriage, and most of the things on the carriage were stolen goods. These days there is chaos in the war.
There are more thieves on the road than people passing by. Please help me go in and check out the situation. If you find anything wrong, go find Yang Ke from the security team, who is my nephew."
"Uncle, what is your surname?"
"Hey, country people can't afford a noble name. My name is Li Bao, and people in the village call me Lao Li Tou!"
After saying that, the old man let go of Lin Mo, leaned against the tree and started to smoke and puff out smoke. The fog was already thick under the tree, but now it became increasingly difficult to see clearly.
Lin Mo walked to Chen Bing, who whispered: "I also saw it when the wind blew over just now."
Lin Mo nodded.
In other words, the scene he just saw was not an illusion.
Besides, with Lin Mo's current ability, few people can make him see hallucinations.
I told Chen Bing about the situation that the old man Li Bao told me, but the latter couldn't tell me anything at once. In short, I have to be careful in this place.
I have met two people so far, one is Widow Liu and the other is Li Bao. They are both ghosts and they don’t know it.
Lin Mo and Chen Bing really entered the village at this time, and the scene in front gradually became clearer.
This is an old village. Most of them are mud houses with mud walls, or some are mixed with some wood, and there are also brick houses. It is quiet at this time, and not a single person can be seen.
Lin Mo looked around and noticed a stage over there.
When I walked over and took a look, I saw that the stage was made of wood, with a mortise and tenon structure. It had been there for some years, and the red paint on it had peeled off, revealing the original color of the wood.
"Crow Crow said before that he once saw the missing expert singing on the stage, and the song was "The Injustice of Dou E." Chen Bing reached out and touched the floor of the stage.
Nothing earthy.
In other words, there were indeed signs of human activity before.
If there was no one around, it would have been covered in dust.
But now there is indeed no one in the village.
"How about we go out and ask the old man again? I think he is quite capable of talking..." Lin Mo said at this time.
Chen Bing turned around and said, "I'm afraid I can't get out."
Only then did the two of them realize that the road they had just entered had turned into an earthen wall.
However, Chen Bing and Lin Mo were both mentally prepared for this situation.
This situation is normal. Otherwise, the experts who came in to investigate would have gone out long ago.
"Lin Mo, there is no alternation of the sun and the moon here, so we must pay attention to the time. Professor Xie analyzed that something happens here every three days. He calls it a fatal event, so we must find a way to get out within three days."
Lin Mo nodded, he knew this too.
The two men checked the red lines on their bodies.
Still there.
Lin Mo turned around and saw a cardboard box not far away.
At least for now, everything is under control.
The two of them thought about it and went from house to house, and they would definitely find something.
There is a house in front, starting from here. Lin Mo and Chen Bing walked over and saw a large locust tree in front of the house with lush branches.
The door was closed, and Chen Bing was about to push it, but Lin Mo was one step ahead of him and knocked on the door.
At this time, it became clear that Lin Mo and Chen Bing had different approaches.
Chen Bing glanced at Lin Mo, meaning that if you knock on the door, you will expose yourself to danger. Lin Mo smiled, as if to say that since you want to act, you must act more seriously. Besides,
It's okay to be polite first and then attack. It's okay to knock on the door. If you break into a house randomly, then they are in the wrong.
"Is anyone home? If no one is here, let's go in!" Lin Mo said, and Chen Bing next to him thought about this sentence.
There seems to be nothing wrong with it.
If there are people inside who don't say anything, then they will still have something to say even if they break in.
At this moment, there was a rustling sound from the locust tree next to it.
Lin Mo and Chen Bing immediately turned to look over.
The two looked at each other and walked towards the tree.
I walked around behind the tree and saw no one, and there was no tree hole underneath to hide anyone.
In this case, the only place where people can hide is above.
Lin Mo and Chen Bing looked up at the same time.
I saw a child hanging upside down between the branches of the tree above, staring at the two of them.
It's a ghost boy!
His body was covered in bruises, his stomach seemed to have been cut open by a branch, and most of his intestines leaked out. At this moment, the ghost child stretched out his hand and made a silent gesture towards Lin Mo and Chen Bing.
Chen Bing didn't know why, but Lin Mo understood it instantly.
"Captain Chen, please find a place to hide first." After Lin Mo whispered, he immediately hugged the tree trunk and climbed up in a few clicks.
No different than a monkey.
Chen Bing couldn't say anything at this time. He could only look at it and hide behind a pile of firewood nearby.
"Could something terrifying be about to appear?" Chen Bing murmured in his heart, thinking at the same time that Lin Mo was so courageous. He dared to go up the tree without knowing the situation clearly. Wasn't he afraid that the ghost child would attack him?
At this moment, on the locust tree.
Lin Mo looked at the ghost child at close range. He first stretched out his hand to help him stuff back the exposed intestines, and then whispered: "Hide and seek?"
The ghost boy nodded.
Sure enough it is.
Lin Mo could tell just now that the other party was hiding in the tree and did not attack them. They just refused to let them talk. They were most likely playing hide and seek. Lin Mo was familiar with this game. He had played it with Split Head in Luyuan Community.
I’ve played with ghosts before, and I’ve played with Tiantian’s dark side again when I was in the junk alley, so I’m an old driver.
"Add me one!" Lin Mo said.
The ghost boy ignored him.
"Add me one, and I'll give you a rabbit later!" Lin Mo lured him.
Sure enough, the ghost boy was tempted.
"rabbit?"
"Yes, running around and talking, it's so fun."
"Okay, I'll add you. I'll talk to Brother Man later."
Done!
Lin Mo used a rabbit to successfully penetrate the group of little devils.
In a strange environment, children are often the easiest link to break through. Lin Mo remembered that when he was in Luyuan Community, it was because he got to know Little Red Skirt and the others that the road ahead became smoother and smoother.
Children are very innocent and simple.
If you are good to them, they will be good to you.
There won’t be so many twists and turns.
"What do you call me?" Lin Mo couldn't wait any longer and made up his mind first.
"They all call me A Bin!"
"Abin, uncle can play hide-and-seek. After a while, you will follow me. I guarantee that no one can find us."
"Really? That's great."
At this time, Lin Mo made an OK gesture to Chen Bing behind the firewood pile below and continued to talk.
"Why is there no one singing today?" he said seemingly casually.
A Bin, who already trusted Lin Mo quite a bit, whispered: "It's not time yet, it will come out soon. I often watch it, but I don't understand it very well."
"That's right, you are a little brat and you don't understand anything!"
"Who said that?" Maybe it touched A Bin's weakness. The latter immediately turned his head and stared at Lin Mo with extremely terrifying eyes. At that moment, malice filled the air.
Lin Mo chuckled. Who was he? How could he be frightened by this little kid?
Don't say that the other party is just bluffing, even if he does it for real, Lin Mo can beat him up in a minute and make him cry for his father and mother.
"Do you understand adults' matters?" Lin Mo provoked him.
"Of course I understand." A Bin was obviously no match for Lin Mo, and he was made to lose his guard after just one or two words.
"Then tell me, what do you know? Just tell me about the things in this village. If you can't tell me, then you don't know anything."
"Don't underestimate me. I know everything about the village. Just say something happened to Uncle Zhang's family. Aunt Zhang didn't get into the wild man's bed at all. She was unjust. But in the end, she was still thrown into the river. I also know,
Someone came to Uncle Zhang's house before. Those people were pushing a cart. They were not good people. I saw those people digging other people's graves outside the village. Could these people who were digging other people's graves be good people?
?”
Lin Mo's eyes lit up.
Unexpectedly, I accidentally hit something, but it really paid off.
This little guy really knows a lot of things.
"How do you know whether Aunt Zhang got under someone else's bed? Did you see it?"
"I didn't see it. I heard what Uncle Zhang said. He told the bad guys who dug the graves: The woman knows about our affairs. If she tells it, everyone will be killed, so she will be killed tonight...
…I was picking birds on the trees in his yard and heard them all.”
Lin Mo didn't expect that the news would be so explosive.
According to A Bin, this is an unjust case.
Although Lin Mo knew that these things may have happened a hundred years ago, it must have been very scary when they happened.
A woman, just because she knew some of the secrets of the person next to her, was splashed with dirty water and drowned.
He will die with a reputation on his back.
It's scary to think about it.
How unjust would it be to die?
There will definitely be a lot of resentment.
If you happen to encounter nightmare pollution, nightmares will be born out of fear.
It’s ‘exciting’ just thinking about it.
As for those who dug the graves, they should be the strangers who came the day before, as Lao Li mentioned under the tree at the head of the village. In other words, the story told by Widow Liu, Lin Mo heard another story from A Bin.
Version.
This version is darker and scarier.
Recalling this, Lao Li said that many of them saw Aunt Zhang coming back soaked after being drowned in the river, which meant that Guimen Village must have suffered a nightmare incident at that time.
The final result may be that the whole village is destroyed.
This kind of thing, in peaceful times, would definitely shock the world, but at that time a hundred years ago, it really wouldn't make any waves.
After all, at that time, there were so many tragedies happening all over the country, who would pay attention to a small Guimen Village.
However, Lin Mo felt that there must be more than just 'Aunt Zhang' in Guimen Village's terrifying nightmares. What was that tall figure with a red lantern that he and Chen Bing met outside before?
So, the secret of this place is not that simple.
Lin Mo is not here to explore, he is here to save people.
"By the way, A Bin, have you noticed any strangers entering the village recently?" Lin Mo asked about business.
"Yes, you are." A Bin glanced at Lin Mo.
"I mean, except for us." Lin Mo added: "Some time ago, was there any?"
"Let me think about it?" A Bin thought for a moment: "It seems there is, but I can't remember clearly."
A Bin continued to ask, but he couldn't explain why.
Obviously, the other person's memory may only be retained for a few days, and he will not be able to remember more than that.
At this time, A Bin heard something and whispered quickly: "Shh, don't talk, Brother Man is here."
The Brother Man that A Bin mentioned was probably a child in the village who played hide and seek with him.
Lin Mo didn't care at first.
But soon, he saw something floating not far away.
At first, Lin Mo thought it was a ball of cotton, but when he got closer, he saw clearly that it was a shattered person who had been blown up.
This man's body completely exploded, connected by countless tiny blood threads. It looked like a walking tree of flesh and blood, with lush branches and leaves.
Lin Mo couldn't help but give a thumbs up after watching it. This nightmare is so creative. If this were a catwalk show in the underworld, this Man Man would definitely be the most beautiful one in it.
Simply.
This should be a state of being blown up by a bomb, and the malice on his body should be so strong that it should reach the level of an A-level nightmare.
According to the standards of the General Administration, an A-level nightmare is already a disaster level. If such a nightmare enters the safe zone, it will definitely cause a horrific disaster.
Another point is that this kind of nightmare is difficult to communicate.
That crazy malice tinged with chaos.
If you foolishly try to get close to someone in this situation, you are seeking death.
So without A Bin's advice, Lin Mo knew to 'shush'. Not only Lin Mo, but Chen Bing who was hiding below also sneaked into the black spots at his feet.
It seems that in terms of hiding skills, Captain Chen is superior and has to be convinced.
Compared to below, it is obviously harder to spot in the trees. As long as you don't look up carefully, you shouldn't be able to see it.
But the problem is that Brother Man who was killed by the bomb is now in pieces, so he is much larger. The height of an eyeball can just reach the top of a tree.
If you come here, you will definitely be discovered.
Chen Bing had black spots to hide, but Lin Mo only had tree branches.
Gotta think of something.
In less than two seconds, Lin Mo thought of something.
He leaned into A Bin's ear and said something, and then without saying a word, he kicked A Bin down from the tree.
With a bang, A Bin fell to the ground.
Below, Chen Bing has half of his head peeking out from the black spots. He can see clearly, and he thinks this is okay?
At this time, A Bin screamed strangely, got up and ran away.
The horrified Brother Man discovered A Bin and immediately chased him. Soon he ran deep into the village and disappeared into the mist.
Lin Mo immediately jumped down from the tree.
"Captain Chen, hurry up, let's leave quickly, before the monster comes back later."
