Chapter 126 Fan

It was said that everyone was looking for a way to go down the mountain together, the driver, Ms. Sun Zheng, and the others naturally didn't dare to make any unnecessary incidents to delay everyone's time, and they just rushed to the mountain before the sun set and walked for a long time honestly. .

Chen Ruqin, who has a big belly and obviously lacks physical strength, seemed a bit reluctant at first, but I don't know if the instructions given to her by Teacher Shen before departure really helped. She really felt that those things had always given her hallucinations The mountain miasma and auditory hallucinations are gradually disappearing, and even the child with a new name just now in the stomach seems to be much more vibrant.

And Mr. Shen, as the only reliable guide for this group of people to some extent, was making basic road signs and map marks for everyone along the way.

Until he found that the place where the group of them were at the moment was getting closer and closer to the foot of the target mountain, the old gentleman who insisted on trekking down the long distance like the young people first heaved a sigh of relief, and then Picking up the map in his hand, he compared the trend of the mountain shape in front of him, and then said thoughtfully to the people behind him,

"It's not surprising. Tonight, everyone crossed Dongshan, the intersection of the North Dong and the South Dong - Jilong Rock, and you should be able to find a way out. There is the only post office in the area below, and we can find signals on our mobile phones and other communication devices when we get down the mountain..."

As soon as he said this, the sallow and sallow faces of the people behind him, who had been tossed by the wind, food, and camping for days, instantly improved a lot. Before that, the driver Xiao Sun, who was panting like a cow before, was even more excited. clap up.

Seeing that they all looked so happy, Mr. Shen, who was still a little uneasy in his heart, heaved a sigh of relief. After looking at the looming mountain peaks and rivers behind his eyes, the fiery old man coughed uncomfortably , after looking at everyone, he added earnestly,

"However, I still want to say something in advance. We'd better be careful tonight. This kind of mountain road close to the cliff is not easy to walk. There are also many places where the Dong and Miao gather. Local customs and habits, in their view, deeply influenced by ②Wu Nuo culture, the mountains and all the creatures in the mountains cannot be offended at will. Rice, fields, birds, people, and nations are all the embodiment of life, and all of these They are collectively referred to as the 'Nuo' God..."

"...'Nuo' God?"

"...Well, the statue of the ancestors in the Fanjia Temple and the Chishui Dragon King River that we saw from the mountainside are the incarnations of the ancestor gods and dragon gods in the Wu Nuo culture, but what I want to focus on today is, In order to protect the "Nuo" god in the mountains, the local villagers, in addition to the necessary annual Nuo opera sacrifice activities, will also use some very dangerous traps in the mountains to prevent poachers. If you fall into it, you will definitely not be able to eat it and walk around, so we must not do anything out of line in this mountain, otherwise we will easily endanger ourselves and be retaliated by the 'Nuo' God, understand?"

"Uh, listen, I understand..."

When Mr. Shen spoke with such a serious expression, even Xiao Sun and Ms. Zheng, who had never taken such matters seriously, nodded with obvious mixed feelings.

After all, they had just done something wrong in someone else's house, and now they would definitely feel a little uncomfortable hearing that Mr. Shen, who is so old-fashioned, doesn't open any pot.

And the old gentleman who didn't know why these people around him were inexplicably nervous, and didn't know what they had done before, only thought that his warning this time barely had an effect, and drew a lot of red circled maps on his hands Reluctantly received it and continued to move forward.

Only Xiao Sun and Ms. Zheng were left and they looked at each other without embarrassment. After a long time, the tall and tall Xiao Sun forced a calm smile and said dismissively,

"Oh, what's going on one by one, you really believe it, don't you? Teacher Shen just said...that kind of words, just listen to it. Our travel company sends people here every year. Tourists in the mountains There are so many comings and goings, and I haven't really seen any "Nuo" gods. The Dong and Miao people of Dongshan's generation have actually been Sinicized a long time ago. Now there are no "Nuo" gods..."

Xiao Sun didn't say anything else, but it was a reassurance for Ms. Zheng and the students who looked uneasy.

So in order to reassure each other, they didn't keep their heads on the road as before. The driver Xiaosun also told everyone a few color jokes that were not actually funny in order to liven up the atmosphere. .

But the further they walked, the sky above their heads inevitably became darker and darker, and the trees and mountains that could provide them with direction during the day became more dangerous and darker.

What's even more strange is that, just as they were about to approach the initial goal-chicken coop rock under the leadership of Teacher Shen, everyone including Mr. It seems that there are some little boys and girls chasing and playing, and the sound of singing with high-pitched voices can be heard.

【Rooster man, want to kill a chicken】

【Eight Chickens in a Cage】

【A chicken wants to go into the forest】

[The neck was cut off! 】

The weird song, which was obviously only halfway through, came to an abrupt end here, and everyone who was shocked by the collective stared wide-eyed at the dark wild forest in front of them, but only vaguely saw some people wearing white clothes. Pants and a jacket, the figure of a dwarf like a 'child' bounced and ran away quickly.

And for some reason, a strange layer of anger surged in my heart, and I cursed again, what kind of ghost thing is deliberately scaring people, the black-faced Xiao Sun suddenly became angry and chased after him, causing everyone who was stunned to turn around Suddenly, Teacher Shen, who realized that the situation might be wrong, was the first to yell with a pale face.

"No... No! Everyone stop him quickly! Don't let him pass!"

The staring teacher Shen shouted in such a panic that the others saw that the situation was not good and wanted to go up to chase the little driver Sun who suddenly went crazy.

But the little Sun driver didn't know what was possessed, he just ran madly in the direction where the 'children' in white clothes disappeared.

Realizing that it would be futile to continue chasing like this, Mr. Shen, whose face was almost as white as paper, could only forcefully stop and help Chen Ruqin beside him.

After the crowd stopped and looked around nervously, the old gentleman, who had been frightened just now, frowned and said, panting with everyone around him,

"We can't keep chasing like this... The situation ahead is not right... There is no way that there are children in the mountains here... let alone any children singing Dong songs. You can see for yourself... How much is this?" It's on... this situation is not right at all..."

"①Dong song... was that Dong song just now?"

"Well, I heard it once in Fan Village. It should be a local Dong song, yes, but how could there be children singing Dong songs here at night..."

When Mr. Shen said so worriedly, everyone, including Chen Ruqin, turned pale with fright. After all, although everyone knows the theory of ghosts and gods in their hearts, there will still be things like encounters. A cold feeling in the back.

Ms. Zheng and her husband, who had deliberately pretended to be fine before, looked at each other tremblingly with pale faces for a while. After a long time, Mr. Zheng, who is a husband but timid, said to Teacher Shen in fear,

"Then... Then you see what happened to us... Can Xiao Sun be saved..."

"...I don't know...but we have to make a mark here so that we can find people back and forth. Let's not go any further tonight. Let's make some collective repairs under the chicken coop rock here, and then we will look for the little ones around here." Sun... Generally speaking, as long as we don't do anything outrageous to anger God Nuo, everyone will be fine, don't worry... But, speaking of it, you just heard clearly... What are those villains in white clothes? Are you singing something..."

When Teacher Shen asked this question, everyone was a little stunned. Ms. Zheng and her husband looked at each other in dismay. Qin hesitated and said a word.

"It seems that... the rooster man wants to kill the chickens... and there are eight chickens in the cage... one got its neck cut off in the woods..."

"Eight...eight chickens...cut off the neck...what does this mean...it can't be...it can't just refer to us!! You, Xiao Chen, our husband and wife, Xiao Sun, and three students ...Aren't we also exactly eight people...and before we...we happened to be..."

"Don't talk nonsense! What's the matter with us, Xiao Sun ran out by himself...We, we didn't do anything!"

As soon as he heard what Chen Ruqin said, Mr. Zheng, who was covered in cold sweat on his forehead, uttered an ugly face. Ms. Zheng, who was standing by the side, shouted palely and stopped her husband's next words.

But the conversation between them still caught the attention of other people, and Mr. Shen was the first one to come back to his senses, so the old gentleman looked suspiciously at the inexplicable couple and suddenly turned cold. open the mouth,

"What didn't you do, and you did it again, tell me clearly! What did you do before!"

"...We, we didn't do anything... What can we do, the students can testify to us, can't we! Can't we..."

"Yes... yes, nothing... nothing... Teacher Shen... we can swear..."

The three young students were probably frightened, so they stammered and looked at each other, and finally decided to continue the lie they told at the beginning with their eyes closed in embarrassment.

Hearing this, although he was still a little uneasy, Mr. Shen rubbed his temples helplessly, and finally decided to put this matter aside, then looked at Chen Ruqin who was beside him and said softly,

"...Xiao Chen, that's all you heard?"

"Yes, that's all... I didn't hear the other things clearly..."

The words of Chen Ruqin, who was holding hands in fear, caused the others who seemed to be standing aside to be silent in a complicated mood. After all, the unknown Dong song just took away the little grandson who is still alive and dead. Let everyone present with their own minds feel a little worried about the safety of the next trip.

And even if they walked together to the agreed chicken coop rock, the people who were so scared that their faces turned pale still didn't come back to their senses.

Until they crossed a crumbling wooden suspension bridge in the gradually darkening night with the little luggage discarded all the way to lose weight, and finally saw a chicken coop-shaped bridge next to the water source in the distance under the moonlight. stone wall.

The old man, who had determined through the landmarks that he was no more than eleven kilometers away from the ethnic minority gathering place at the foot of the mountain, let out a long sigh of relief, waved to everyone behind him who was too tired to make a sound, and then quickly said,

"Now everyone is preparing for tonight's camping. Xiao Chen and Mrs. Zheng are both women, so let's go to the Chicken Coop Rock to prepare the bedding for everyone to sleep in tonight...students, Mr. Zheng and me Let's go together and look back for Xiaosun..."

Teacher Shen's words made the students who were almost unable to hold on and Mr. Zheng look a little annoyed, but they were still collectively silent when they thought of the life and death of the little Sun.

Seeing the old man leaving with the other men, Chen Ruqin, who had been grim-faced since the beginning, first carried the paper bag in his hand and walked up with a tired expression, and then moved slowly under the stone Find a relatively less humid place to go.

But just as she was about to sit down, Ms. Zheng, who ran in early and quickly spread her clothes on the floor, suddenly threw a coat of her husband's at the place where she was about to sit down.

Seeing Chen Ruqin's stare blankly, the middle-aged woman, who was obviously used to taking advantage of others, said with a gloomy face and displeasure,

"I don't know how to be polite at such a young age. I have a big belly and others have to let you... Do you have the nerve to sit here by yourself and let others sit in such a fashionable place next to you..."

Hearing this, Chen Ruqin didn't intend to be polite to her, Chen Ruqin was a little embarrassed, but still adhered to the principle that her father often said not to argue with others, frowned, nodded and replied.

"...Okay, sit down."

Seeing that she gave in so easily, Ms. Zheng also sneered and threw all her things on the ground, and then sat down and forcibly piled up her luggage and clothes on the driest place under the rocks.

The middle-aged woman who was forced to be a little irritable by the surrounding environment wiped the sweat from her head and glanced at Chen Ruqin quietly, and then her expression changed suddenly after noticing the piece of tiger power hanging around her neck .

"Yo... that old man actually gave you all these things..."

"What, what?"

"It's just this piece of Tiger's Might. Didn't everyone pick it up on the mountain behind? The one that said it could ward off evil spirits, why did it hang on you alone... No wonder you just had nothing to do, and it was only your little grandson. Do you understand..."

These words sounded weird, and Ms. Zheng, who was used to bullying and fearing the hard, obviously didn't dare to say this in front of Teacher Shen, so she looked around and stared at Chen Ruqin and said vigorously.

And Chen Ruqin, who didn't think so much at all, was embarrassed when he heard this. He could only blushed and moved his pale lips, and then looked at Ms. Zheng before he began to explain in embarrassment,

"Both the baby and I were uncomfortable before, and Teacher Shen gave it to me... Said it would protect the baby, but I will return it to him after I go down the mountain... After all, it's not mine..."

"Hey, it's a good feeling, why don't you take it off and show it to me now, my old Zheng has a relative who does this kind of antique appreciation, let me see if this thing is worth money... "

Ms. Zheng, who couldn't hide her greed and trickery on her face, cast her frank and deadly eyes on Chen Ruqin's neck. She was on guard, so she just frowned and squeezed Huwei but didn't know how to say anything.

And when she saw Chen Ruqin bowing her head shamelessly, but she just refused to give her the things, Ms. Zheng, who was sullen and silent, always felt a little weird in her heart. Seeing Chen Ruqin and Mr. Shen killing the chicken was even more inexplicably uneasy, so she lowered her voice and approached Chen Ruqin with an ugly face, and then said sharply with guilty eyes,

"...You, don't you just know something? Or... saw something? When we were in that family's kitchen that night, you weren't watching us all the time..."

"...you...what do you mean...you guys really...really killed a chicken that night!! But...but didn't you say you didn't...could...could be...what happened tonight... "

Chen Ruqin's obviously terrified reaction made Ms. Zheng even angrier when she knew that she had accidentally slipped her mouth, and she was even more annoyed when she thought that she would tell the truth after being so frightened.

When Chen Ruqin heard this, her eyes turned red with anger, and then she said loudly with a trembling voice regardless of her weak physical condition.

"It turns out...it turns out that you really lied to Teacher Shen and me! We didn't do anything at all! It's you...you people who made us suffer!!"

Chen Ruqin's words slapped Ms. Zheng's face like a slap, maybe out of fear, maybe out of guilty conscience, in short, she gave Chen Ruqin a fierce look and cursed at the top of her voice. A sentence.

"What nonsense are you talking about here? If you die, everyone will die together! Do you think you will let you go without eating those monsters in the mountains!!"

And after finishing speaking, the middle-aged woman, who was so nervous that she was a little out of control, raised her brows and was about to pounce on Chen Ruqin's tiger power.

But just as she was about to reach out her hand, Ms. Zheng and Chen Ruqin heard a familiar scream belonging to Ms. Zheng's husband at the same time, accompanied by a strange Dong song from the chicken coop rock into their ears.

【Rooster man, want to kill a chicken】

【Eight Chickens in a Cage】

【Two chickens want to jump into the pit】

[The head and the body are completely separated! 】

"This is the voice of Old Zheng... What's wrong with my old Zheng!! Old Zheng!! Old Zheng!!"

As soon as she recognized that it was her husband's voice, Ms. Zheng, whose face was full of panic and fear, jumped up and ran outside again.

Chen Ruqin, who followed with wide eyes, turned pale and wanted to stop her, but was pushed down by Ms. Zheng who seemed to be possessed, and watched her run out madly.

Knowing that the Dong singing that spread far away might have an impact on people's spirit and hearing, Chen Ruqin, who was still pregnant, gritted her teeth and got up from the ground quickly, and quickly followed the one who was running ahead. Ms. Zheng.

But when the two of them ran one after the other to the place where Mr. Zheng screamed, Ms. Zheng and Chen Ruqin, who screamed in an instant, only saw a man lying at the bottom of the pit, whose body was bloody and broken in two. The middle-aged man and the... body of the little grandson whose head had been chopped off by something like an ax not far away.

"...This... What the hell is going on here... Ahh!!! Help!! Help!! Old Zheng!!! Old Zheng! You wait for me to come down and save you!!!"

Holding her head in collapse, she yelled. Ms. Zheng broke free from Chen Ruqin's hand in tears and ran to the strange pit not far away.

But before she could take a few steps, she slipped and fell from the bottom of the pit, and fell headlong into the muddy and dirty mud again.

Seeing this, she was about to go up to grab Ms. Zheng, who had obviously passed out. Her face was pale, but Chen Ruqin, who was gritting her teeth and wanted to go up to save someone, hadn't had time to stand up...

In the wild forest in front of Xiao Sun and Mr. Zheng's corpses, one, two, three 'old boys' in white clothes and white trousers began to pop up like before.

But this time, Chen Ruqin, who was very close to them for an instant, could clearly see the strange faces of these white monsters as old as old men and the yellow teeth that had been blurred with blood, as well as Ms. The hands were fiercely grabbed by these monsters, and the shredded legs and arms were violently pulled!

"Ah!!! Let go!!! Let her go!!!"

"Hee~~hee hee~~!!!"

As soon as he ate the fresh and fat human flesh in his mouth, he screamed excitedly like a child. The 'old boy' with fleshy and bloody face squatted in the mud and frantically gnawed on Ms. Zheng's head and calf, and then He stared greedily and horribly at Chen Ruqin, who was already pale, with his big blood-red eyeballs.

Seeing this, with red eyes, he picked up the stone at hand and threw it hard at the 'old kids' below. Chen Ruqin, with disheveled hair, seemed to be dying, making the eyes of the cannibal 'old kids' even more sinister and resentful. He slapped bloody hands and sang the third nursery rhyme tonight to Chen Ruqin with a strange smile.

【Rooster man, want to kill a chicken】

【Eight Chickens in a Cage】

【Three chickens want to hide in the hole】

[The eyeballs are pierced to death! 】

"Ah!!!!!! Help!!! Eat us!!! Don't eat us!!!"

"... Teacher Shen... Teacher Shen..."

This devil-like singing made Chen Ruqin tremble in a trance, because she knew very well where the horrible and shrill screams came from, and the three students sung in the ballad probably Now it is like Xiao Sun and Ms. Zheng who died at a glance.

Thinking of this, she unconsciously closed her eyes in despair. Chen Ruqin, whose calf had completely lost her mobility, trembled as she felt the 'old children' crawling closer and closer to her in the mud, and the desire to survive in her heart But less and less.

Just at this moment, she was already planning to give up resisting, but after being eaten alive by these monsters, she felt the little life in her stomach kicking herself hard.

It was also this inexplicable pain that made Chen Ruqin, who was clearly resigned to his fate while holding his head, suddenly widen his eyes strangely, picked up the 'Tiger Might' hidden in his clothes, and stabbed viciously at the one that was rushing towards him. Only 'old boy' eyes!

Strange to say, as soon as the golden 'Tiger Might' burst out and shone brightly from Chen Ruqin, those white monsters who were originally extremely brutal screamed and crawled to the side.

And seeing those monsters running away in a hurry, and then, at this moment of life and death, as if she had become another brand new mother, panting heavily against the body that was about to give birth, she rushed out of these monsters with red eyes like crazy Surrounded by the tight siege, and ran quickly towards the forest where Mr. Shen went alone just now.

"Son...child...my child...Yangyang...waiting for mom to take you out...waiting for mom...Ms. Shen!! Where are you!!! Where are you!!!"

Holding back the tears in his eyes while holding his stomach and running desperately forward, Chen Ruqin's embarrassing cries in the mountains and forests finally attracted a response from Teacher Shen who was also frightened and turned pale.

But when she followed the faint voice, she managed to find the first suspension bridge. When she saw the old man who was holding a bloody wooden pipe in his hand, but his neck was still bitten open by those white monsters, it was difficult. She squeezed a pale and ugly smile towards herself, and Chen Ruqin, who had understood for a moment the end that everyone was about to face, still couldn't hold back her tears.

"Xiao...Xiao Chen...you and the baby...are you okay..."

"I'm fine...the baby is fine..."

"Then... Xiaosun... and Mrs. Zheng and his wife..."

"...they...they..."

"I didn't keep those three children... Oh, what a crime... Let them listen to me... They are not willing to listen... Just like my disobedient daughter... Always don't believe in anything , didn’t listen to anything, and blamed me for being an old antique, old feudalism...the result was like this...died without warning in an engineering accident in the mountains, which made my...old father want to I came here on purpose... to see my daughter's... bones... to find out where my daughter was buried..."

Old Mr. Shen blinked his eyes sadly when he said this. In fact, he rarely mentioned his family and children along the way, but at this moment, this old man who is always energetic seems to have aged a lot all of a sudden. The vigor of talking to people all of a sudden disappeared, and seeing this, Chen Ruqin, who was trembling all over, couldn't help crying. When she sobbed, she said,

"Mr. Shen...Mr. Shen...don't talk...you hold on...wait for me to take you out...wait for me to take you out..."

He helped the old man on the ground and staggered towards the bridge together. The words of the red-eyed Chen Ruqin made the blood-stained old man Shen nodded with difficulty, but the one who stood up reluctantly persisted. This year is already old. A lot of old gentlemen fell down on the bridge in embarrassment.

It was also at this time that the urging talisman that had been following them came again from the woods behind them, and this time the content of the Dong song was passed into the ears of Chen Ruqin and Mr. Shen, but it turned out like this up.

【Rooster man, want to kill a chicken】

【Eight Chickens in a Cage】

[There is also an old rooster]

[She was crushed to pieces and sank to the bottom of the river! 】

This gloomy Dong song made Chen Ruqin, who was standing on the rickety wooden bridge, turn pale all of a sudden, but when she also heard these words, she just trembled her hands and said nothing.

After laying down on the ground and looking at the once-used Tiger Might hanging around Chen Ruqin's neck, he actually understood why they were being chased by those terrifying monsters, and what caused this unreasonable disaster Old Mr. Shen first sighed wearily, and after he covered the hideous bleeding on his neck and took out the lighter in his pocket, he coughed slowly,

"Xiao Chen...I...I'm afraid I won't be able to leave today, so leave me alone and take...the child and hurry away...I'll lure away...those monsters...you just find a way Run away with this piece of tiger power...don't...don't listen to those Dong songs behind you...if you do, you won't be able to escape..."

"..."

"In addition... I heard this from the locals of Fan Village. Whether it is true or not, please listen to me carefully... The revenge from the 'Nuo' God will last for two rounds of time, that is... ...24 years, if before that, you and your child Yangyang...can be lucky enough to escape...you will be safe and sound in this life without any disaster..."

"... Then... what about you..."

"I... I am already very old, and I have no children. In fact, this life should come to an end... You still have your own children, you still have your own father, you should escape, You shouldn't just die in this mountain... Do you understand what I mean..."

These words made Chen Ruqin, who was kneeling on the ground, shake his head with red eyes completely unacceptable, and could only lower his head and grab Old Man Shen's hand tightly.

It can be seen that Mr. Shen, whose face was pale due to blood loss, just looked back wearily at the 'old boys' who were about to catch up, and then suddenly stood up vigorously and pushed Chen Ruqin out of the bridge in front of him, and used After the lighter that opened the gasoline plug in his hand instantly ignited the suspension bridge behind him, he waved his hand at Chen Ruqin on the opposite side and shouted!

"Hurry up... Hurry up!! Ruqin! Hurry up!!! Don't let these monsters find you and your child again!! Remember my words!! Hurry up!!! Did you hear me!!!"

"No...don't!! Teacher Shen!! Teacher Shen!"

At that moment, Chen Ruqin's reddened eyes seemed to burn with a bright red ferocious fire.

But no matter how much she cried for help, the strange suspension bridge, Mrs. Shen covered in blood and those white monsters were still burned to ashes alive in front of her along with these terrifying memories in the mountains.

The last sliver of truth she could see was that in the deep mountains where the North Dong and the South Dong meet, at the place where the red moon rises, there seems to be a pair of blood that is separated, shining with endless hatred and disgust. The red rooster looked at her coldly.

This scene seemed to be a nightmare of her life. In the following years, no matter how much Chen Ruqin tried to forget, this terrifying and bizarre scene was completely engraved in her mind.

……

Two days later, a bus bound for Qiaoshui Town in Dongshan County accidentally found a dying woman surnamed Chen who was covered in blood and was pregnant with Liujia 200 meters away from the township government road.

Four days later, a baby was born in Ward 209 of Dongshan Maternal and Child Health Station.

This day happens to be September 2019, 9, which is the annual Chishui Dragon King Festival in Dongshan County this year.

But in the depths of this mysterious mountain, there is a strange and distant Dong song coming from far away, until the red moon rises again, the song disappears faintly...

……

【Rooster man, want to kill a chicken】

【Eight Chickens in a Cage】

【Only the last chicken left】

【Where are you going?】

【Pull out the intestines and peel off the skin】

【The baby in the stomach is crying】

【No matter where you go】

[The rooster will catch you, catch—hold—you——]
