When we were drinking in the middle of the night, the director suddenly stood up and something rolled over.
"It's the head."
He Dana took out a black cloth bag from his bag.
"Go and put it in the bag and bring it back."
I glared at He Dana and went out with the black cloth bag. He Dana had taken out this black cloth bag several times, and I didn't know what he did with it.
My courage was trembling as I approached the head, pounced on it, held it down, put it in the bag, tied the bag, and went back.
"Why are you jumping on it? It won't run away."
"You didn't tell me either."
I cursed in my heart, old thing, old fool, old bastard.
He Dana sat down and drank.
"Take your head out and put it on the table. I want to ask him what happened."
"Master He, that's all, that's all."
The manager was talking. He thought that He Dana was drunk and was also very scared. He put his head on the table, which was scary to look at. His eyes were staring, and this man's eyes were very big.
The director stood at the window and was ready to jump down at any time. It would be very painful to jump down from the second floor.
"I ask you, what happened?"
I think He Dana is sick. He was really drunk and was talking to the dead. And it was just one head. It was a bit scary.
The head didn't react at all.
"Godfather, drink another glass and I promise you'll be able to see it as a beauty."
As soon as I finished speaking, the mouth of that head moved, but there was no sound. Oh my god! I jumped up and screamed. The manager was sweating profusely. If it was blood, it would have died long ago.
The mouth was moving, but no sound could be heard and I didn't know what it was saying. It moved for a long time and then stopped, said He Dana.
"Captain, please put your head in the cabinet."
The director kept waving his hands and said.
"I can't, I can't, don't let me send you off, I'll invite you to Da Lai again, Da Lai, order whatever you want."
He Dana looked at me, so I had no choice but to send him back, jogging all the way. It was really awkward.
When I came back, they were already in the car. The Da Lai Restaurant is open all night on Saturdays and Sundays, so we went over and ordered some food and wine. I couldn't eat or drink anymore, but He Dana, that idiot, could really eat and drink. The manager hadn't eaten much before because he had something on his mind, so this time we started eating.
He Dana said that day.
"They say the head was stolen by someone. Of course, that person is an employee of our crematorium. I know who it is, but I won't tell you. All that matters is that the head is found."
"Do you know what he said?"
"Lip reading. Dead people can't speak, but their mouths can move. Did you know?"
I don’t know, I really don’t know, and Master Yunzheng never told me.
The manager sent us home and I went to sleep. When I got up in the morning, I sat there in a daze. Now I was alone, and I had to look for He Dana and Gu Juan.
When I entered the yard, He Dana had gotten up early and was sitting in the yard humming a tune, drinking tea, closing his eyes, and enjoying himself!
When I came in, he opened his eyes.
"Gujuan went to Bone Village yesterday and hasn't come back yet."
"Why did you let her go to Bone Village?"
"I didn't let her go. Last time she said she was going to see her brother, but I didn't let her. This time she ran away on her own. I went to the Bone Village to look for her, but I couldn't find her."
"Then you have to go by yourself. I won't go with you. If I go with you, we'll just be looking for her. It's really hard to find a living person there. You'd better hurry up and don't let anything happen. You have a badge and she doesn't. As people from ancient times, maybe nothing will happen to her, but it's hard to say."
I had to go to Bone Village again. This was the place I disliked going to the most. There was a prescription for hook technique here, but I had never found it. I didn't know what the prescription was or how to find it. He Dana didn't know either. Anyway, when I entered Bone Village again, someone followed me. Someone came in behind me. I was so anxious to find Gu Juan that I didn't notice it. When I noticed it, the person stood up. It was a woman, a university lecturer, with long hair, but only in her twenties.
She introduced herself, said that she admired me very much and that I studied Yin studies, and said something else.
"You'd better leave on your own. There are dead people in Bone Village."
"I won't be able to do that if I follow you, Mr. Ke. I really want to learn something about this."
This woman is very clingy, so I had no choice but to let her follow me.
"I'm telling you, don't go too far away. If something goes wrong, I won't be responsible."
This woman's name is Mu Qing. The reason I asked her to follow me was probably because she looked a bit like Hao Fei, especially when she smiled.
I entered a ditch, a ditch I had never been to before. As soon as I entered the entrance, I saw corpses. I could see that the corpses were not in a state of natural death, but were placed there, sitting or lying. In short, the heads were facing the road, and the postures were very evil. Looking at them made me feel scared and uneasy, as if they were watching you walking.
Around the corner are the houses, scattered and intertwined, just like the ones outside.
I observed for a while and walked inside. It was not easy to find Gu Juan. She hid in a house or a ditch. It would take you several days to find all the houses. Moreover, she could leave the room at any time without letting you see her.
I just hit it, if I hit it, it would be my death.
I wandered around in this ditch for a long time but still couldn't find it, so I entered a house. Everything in the house was normal except for one special chair. The chair was particularly big and looked a bit strange.
The chairs are placed next to the table, and the table is next to the window. Going up the stairs leads to the second floor, and walking down from the second floor is the first floor. The stairs lead directly to the second floor from the roadside.
I sat down, unpacked my stuff from my bag, and got out my wine.
"Rest here today. I need two or three days here."
"Teacher Ke, what are you looking for?"
"Yes, looking for someone."
Mu Qing took out the food and put it on the table. She also drank white wine, but only very little.
"I have always wanted to come to this Bone Village, but I just came here today. One of my students died here. I think this place is really weird, with people dying every year."
"This is a ghost village. You came here to find out why people died. I think you should forget about it. Experts haven't solved this problem yet, so don't come here again. It won't do you any good."
"I know that if it weren't for you, I wouldn't dare to come in. I finally waited for such an opportunity, and I won't let it go."
"You won't find it. This place will harm you. You have heard many legends about the Bone Village. Many of them are true."
"I know."
Mu Qing’s energy is really similar to Hao Fei’s, which makes me think of some things about Hao Fei.
That afternoon, we put the bag in the room and went to other rooms to look for it, but still couldn't find it. We returned only after dark.
When we came in, our bags were gone. We just placed them on the table, and they were gone.
I understand a little bit. Is this man-made? Is it Gujuan? I don't know. Gujuan knew I was coming, so why was she hiding from me? This is what I don't understand.
This is what scares me the most, it can be done manually, but the bag will be gone.
Mu Qing walked downstairs. The strange thing about the second floor was that it was like a basement when going down from the second floor. However, it was not a basement, but the first floor. There were windows but no doors.
Mu Qing called me and told me that the bag was downstairs.
I went downstairs. The environment downstairs was better. I thought, no matter what, I have to stay here today. It seems safer downstairs, no matter who took the bag downstairs.
I believe that it was a person, or rather, Gujuan.
Mu Qing felt scared and asked me.
I told her that Bone Village is weird and I can’t explain it clearly, and I hope you can understand.
Mu Qing became nervous. Perhaps she had never encountered such a thing before.
Although the bag was taken downstairs, it was not turned over and there were no other abnormalities. This was the strange thing.
That night, it was dead silent. I couldn't sleep well, and neither did Mu Qing.
When the morning sun came out, I looked at the bone village in the valley. It was so beautiful that I couldn't believe it was a dead village. It seemed that it shouldn't be a dead village. But the more beautiful the place, the more weird things there are.
Today is the 13th, a ghost day, one of the ghost days of every month. I don’t know if I can find Gu Juan.
After eating something and preparing to go out, I saw He Dana coming.
"Someone."
Mu Qing said nervously that the people he could see in the Bone Village might not be human.
"He Dana."
"Is it him?"
Obviously, she had also heard of He Dana, but I didn’t know if she knew that he was my godfather.
I was standing there and He Dana saw me and came over.
"Did you find it?"
I shook my head, He Dana glanced at Mu Qing, and I told him what happened.
"I really shouldn't have come."
I don’t know what He Dana meant by saying this.
"Godfather, why are you here?"
"I remembered one thing. I thought Mu Qing was either in the freezing room or there."
He pointed to the refining furnace.
"I went to the freezing room, but it's impossible for her to go to the refining furnace. She won't go there."
"Go and have a look."
I am always filled with a fear of this refining furnace, as if one day I will be burned in this furnace, the copper refining furnace that always glows. (To be continued)
