I just felt a bang in my head, and I left the mobile phone shop immediately, but after hailing several taxis in succession, no one was willing to take me when I heard where I was going.
I was running around in a hurry. In this city, I have no acquaintances, and now I don’t have any passenger cars, not even the kind of dilapidated minibus from last time, but the fat figure in the photo keeps dangling in my mind.
Heartbroken, I stopped a taxi and gave him all the money I had on me. The taxi driver looked at the money and then at me. After weighing the value of force between us, he finally agreed.
Along the way, I kept urging, but when I arrived at the village, it was already 11 o'clock in the evening, and there was still one hour before the end of the month.
The village was quiet, there was no one there, and there was a burst of barking from the dog I disturbed. Without any hesitation, I ran directly to my second aunt's house.
After the panic knocked on the door, my second aunt looked at me suspiciously in her coat. I didn't have time to explain, so I dragged my second aunt to the village.
"Second Aunt, something happened to the little girl?"
The second aunt looked at me in surprise as she walked: "What happened? I saw the little girl at night."
I don't know how to tell my second aunt. To be honest, I don't know what happened to the little girl now, but the top priority is to find the little girl and ensure her safety in less than an hour.
"Second aunt, find the little girl first."
The second aunt probably saw that I was anxious, so she didn't ask any more questions, but when she passed by the village, she tapped hard with her hand, and the iron block on the old tree at the village made a "dang" sound.
This iron block was used to convene villagers' meetings in the early years, but since the radio was installed, no one has used it for many years. I don't understand why my second aunt knocked on the iron block, and I didn't ask. , ran towards the burial ground.
When I arrived at the burial site, I looked at my watch out of breath, it was 11:17.
"Second, Second Aunt, hurry up, find me, little one."
"I know, I know."
The second aunt didn't hesitate, and she didn't go to Xiaolingdang or the shallow pit where her parents were. She just stood up and yelled loudly. The burial ground instantly became noisy.
In the shallow pit, countless coffins were pushed away. Under the moonlight, arms stretched out one by one. In the shallow pit without coffins, figures stood up directly, shaking like a machine lacking oil.
It made my scalp numb, and I could only look at my second aunt to one side.
The second aunt did not hesitate, and walked over directly, and communicated with those standing figures. Within 5 minutes, I saw those figures start to scatter, and the movements were still very stiff at first, and gradually became flexible. When he left the burial site, he was no different from ordinary people.
The second aunt also came over, and said with a worried face: "The little girl hasn't come back yet, everyone has already gone to look for it, this dead girl."
"Second aunt, the fish pond."
"What?"
"Fish pond."
The second aunt repeated in amazement: "Fish pond? You mean? Impossible, impossible." The second aunt repeated, slowly, her voice became smaller and smaller, and even she herself became less confident.
"Let's go, let's go to the fish pond." The second aunt's words were trembling, and when I started, it even shook a bit, and I quickly supported it.
It may be that the conversation between my second aunt and I was overheard by other people, and many people rushed to the fish pond with us.
After spending a lot of time, we arrived at the fish pond. The fish pond at night was rippling under the breeze blowing, and the moon on the water surface was also rippling. It was just the garbage floating on the fish pond and the faint smell that made this Everything is destroyed.
When I got to the fish pond, I didn't know what to do. I looked at the water surface and I didn't know how deep it was. I looked at my second aunt and said, "Second aunt, now?"
The second aunt waved her hand, motioning me not to speak, then looked to one side, the crowd following over there was slowly spreading out to both sides, an old man who didn't know how old bent over, walked slowly, and arrived at the fish By the pond, he took the stone from a white bone next to him and threw it into the fish pond.
With a sound of "boom", the water was splashed high, but there was still no movement until the water surface returned to calm.
The old man laughed dryly, and then waved his hand. The villagers who followed him picked up all kinds of stones and threw them into the fish pond.
I looked at Second Aunt and whispered, "Second Aunt, isn't this a joke?"
The second aunt shook her head, I looked at the time anxiously, it was already past 11:30, is there still time
Just as I was thinking about it, I saw a few bulges rising from the water surface of the fish pond, and then they were moving towards the shore. The villagers also stopped their movements and gave way to the surroundings.
The head that was still flowing with sewage came out of the water first, then the body and feet. The passengers I have seen walked up from the fish pond under the leadership of the big fat man.
The big fat man looked around, his eyes paused slightly on me, and then he said, "What are you doing?"
Pointing at the fat man, the old man said angrily, "You bastard, where is the little girl?"
I was startled, the fat man turned out to be the old man's son.
But the big fat man didn't show his son's appearance at all. Looking at the old man, he snorted coldly and said, "How do I know, as I said, everyone does not violate the river water."
The old man seemed very angry, but he couldn't find the reason at once, so he could only say: "Hand over the little girl."
The fat man said impatiently: "You old man, where did the little girl go, how do I know, that girl runs here and there every day."
"You mean you don't know?"
"I don't know, if the little girl falls into the fish pond, I will definitely help you get it out."
The big fat man swayed around, looking a little impatient.
The old man also looked at the second aunt hesitantly, as if he wanted to confirm with the second aunt whether the little girl was in the fish pond.
The second aunt was embarrassed for a moment, but she acted like a shrew: "Okay, you said the little girl is not here, so let's go down and have a look."
"Who dares?" The fat man glared at him angrily, "You guys are sleeping in the burial ground, right? The fish pond is my domain. Old fellow, we made a deal back then."
The fat man looked at the old man, but the old man frowned and didn't speak.
The second aunt glanced at me, then stomped her feet and said, "Old Ancestor, I'm sure that the little girl was captured by them. Everyone knows that they have always believed in that legend. Maybe the little girl..."
Before the second aunt finished speaking, the whole place exploded like a ignited gunpowder keg. The big fat man's face changed, and he said loudly: "Don't talk nonsense, I can do it right, how can I do it?" That sort of thing."
"Then let's go down and have a look." Second Aunt showed no sign of weakness.
The surrounding villagers also looked at the fat man and the others with doubts. I am sure that once it is confirmed that the fat man and the others have done such a thing, they will be eaten by these villagers one by one.
The old man stared at the fat man, stepped forward and said, "Did you really do that kind of unconscionable thing?"
The big fat man was angry and wronged: "Father, although I am not very obedient, I am a jerk, but how could I do such a thing, if I do, my whole family will die."
The scene fell silent, swearing and swearing in the countryside is somewhat credible.
I saw everyone was silent and didn't make a sound. Instead, I looked at the little fat man behind the big fat man. The little fat man stood at the end from the beginning, and seemed to have something in his mouth, but his face itself was fat. Not sure either.
The little fat man didn't notice that I was looking at him. Seeing that everyone was silent, the little fat man quietly approached the back of the big fat man. Under the obstruction of the big fat man, he spit out the things in his mouth, and then looked for a direction. Another mouthful was put into his mouth.
"what are you eating?"
