We're not afraid of a few jokes from your brothers, nesting in such a lumpy place, how many people can there be? At that time, several of us young people thought that this was a researcher using high technology to inspect the oil field. No one thought much of it. The researcher didn't stay in the village any longer, and went back with a dark face. Looking very depressed, no one in the village dared to say anything except the village chief who went up and said a few nice words.
Thinking about it now, I really regret it, if that person didn't let go. Maybe this place can still be saved.
Ever since the researcher left, the village began to suffer from bad luck one after another. First, the young daughter-in-law of the old Wang's family in the village had a difficult delivery, and no one even kept the child and the adults. I drove a tractor and wanted to send it to the town, but half of the people were already cold. At that time, it was no worse than we are now. Every family was miserable, and it was nothing new for one or two people to die. The whole village helped with the funeral, so we have to go on with our lives, right? In this world of ice and snow, if you spit out of the house, you will freeze a lump of ice. The corpse will definitely not be damaged, so there is no rush to bury it. According to us, we have to morgue for three days. Lao Wang's family was already poor, and his wife died, and there were two and a half older children at home. The matter of guarding the corpse is still helped by the people in the village.
But who would have thought that the first two days of guarding the corpse were pretty good. Not even the wind. But on the third night, the strong wind whizzed straight into the house through the cracks in the windows. Covering the windows with quilts didn't help.
Lao Feng wiped his eyes while talking, and Boss Jiang smoked a cigarette. He took the cigarette I handed him and said, I was there that night, and I should have been there in the first half of the night, but it happened that the pigs in the pigsty couldn't figure out what was wrong, so they vomited and screamed for half the night. I had to switch to the second half of the night with other people in the village. My fourth grandpa was staying with me, and we were so cold at night that we smoked one bag at a time. In the end, when I ran out of cigarettes, I went back to get them. When I came back, I saw that the fourth master had passed out. The old Wang's daughter-in-law who was lying on the coffin board was lying on her stomach on her back.
I was young then, so I’ve seen this before. I was so scared that the cotton pants were wet with urine. There was a fight with Xian'er in the village, but it was all the old people who were watching, so we weren't allowed to come forward. This is back to watching. I also panicked, forgot to save people, and forgot to run away. It took a long time to move the place, and I didn't wait to go out, what do you say? Mother, the old Wang's wife actually chatted with me.
Old Feng took a deep breath. It can be seen that the shadow of that time has not completely subsided now.
I hurriedly urged him to say, what are you talking about
Old Feng Dao, how dare we talk, I heard the old Wang's daughter-in-law say in a strange voice that I am below. I couldn't hear anything in the back, so I just ran home and called for someone!
Listening to my calls in the village is no different from killing pigs. They thought that tigers came, and they all came out with guns. I can't talk anymore, so I can only ask them to watch it. Only then did my fourth grandfather carry me back.
After taking a sip of wine for the fourth master, he came back to life. The fourth master was also confused, and couldn't say anything after chatting for a long time. So he told us that he heard someone begging him to give him a hand. Others fainted inexplicably.
This movement is quite noisy. Lao Wang's daughter-in-law, we rushed to find her and buried her before dawn.
The next day, I asked the Daxian in the town to show it again. But who would have thought that this was just the beginning, and then such things jumped out one by one like mule dung. People died every time, and that year basically didn't stop.
The more I listened, the more confused I became. I asked, have those investigators been here again? You mean which investigators are related to the events in the village
Lao Qiu said, it's not a big deal! Those investigators come here every now and then, sometimes half a month, sometimes a week. It's not the same person every time!
I said, what do those investigators do every time they come? Burn something from here? Did they ever say why they were burning
Lao Qiu shook his head, that's not true. Who dares to ask. At that time, it was said that the monsters in the mountains didn't want to open oil fields in their territory, and that's why they made a fuss. Daxian cannot be restrained. Isn't the only way we can get out is to count on being a worker? No one dares to break this road! If the investigators don't say it, it's useless for us to ask. And every time the people who come here don't have a good face, and no one dares to open their mouths!
When I think about that year, my chest feels congested. But who would have thought that from the second year onwards, the adults would be fine, and the children would die one by one. Regardless of whether it is pregnant or running on the ground, there is not one left. There are all kinds of ways to die, and that is a tragedy.
But in the second year, the investigators came more frequently. Sometimes one would come at night, and another would come the next day.
When it was almost the beginning of spring, another group of investigators came all at once. This time it was quite serious, wearing the same clothes and wearing the same hat. One of the researchers in this group was very strange. Others told the villagers that this researcher had a rash, could not see the wind, and his head was covered tightly, so he couldn't tell whether he was a man or a woman. This wave of investigators went into the cellar and stayed there for three days and three nights, neither eating nor drinking, not even Lazard. You can only see the smoke in the chimney and it hasn't stopped. After the last person came out, the researcher with his head covered disappeared, and we couldn't figure out whether it was a recovery from illness or what. The leader of this group of people was a rather old man. After he came out, he went to the village head's house alone, kicked out the village head's wife and children, and chatted with the village head for a while. Finally took people away.
After the village chief came out, he told everyone in the village that what happened in the village was because of ginseng essence in the forest. The investigators will help to deal with it, so that none of us can leave the village, otherwise our lives will be lost. People in this country have opened their mouths, who can not listen. The dozens of people in the village don't expect to be workers at this time, as long as they don't let the people in the village die, they can talk about anything.
After that, those investigators would often come over for about half a year. On and off I don't know how many things were burned in the cellar. A few times I went to pick up ashes, but I couldn't tell what had been burned. They all hoped that these calfs could solve the village's affairs, but after a few months, no one heard that any of the girls were pregnant. If this person doesn't go out, the matter will get out. Originally, women from other villages could marry here, which would be good, and no one dared to come to the village for a blind date. Sooner or later this village will be gone!
The people in the whole village had no place to cry, and they all went to the village head's house to make trouble. The village chief was helpless, and when he rushed the investigators to come, he asked when the village would be revived. This time there is really a way, damn it, what kind of way is this!
At this time, I have already heard some music in my heart. Presumably the so-called method is those wooden monuments in the forest. It seems that the people who died inside were these so-called investigators. Just what the hell are these people doing
Without waiting for me to think about it, Old Feng continued to say that those calfs said they would go into the forest to find ginseng, so that all the people in the village who could still go to the ground had to go into the forest together. Let us kowtow in three steps. At that time, there were two 70-year-old old men in the village, and one of them disappeared after two tosses. Fortunately, the calf didn't let us go all the way into the woods. He went there by himself when we almost reached the place. No one knew what he was doing there. Anyway, the researcher never came out again.
The first investigator disappeared in this way, and the subsequent ones disappeared one by one.
We were curious, so the villagers discussed sneaking along with the one who was running fast to have a look next time. I didn't go that time, thankfully I didn't go, otherwise I wouldn't be able to talk to you about these bullshits today!
From what Old Feng said, it was obvious that following the people who went there would not end well. It seems that from then on, the village probably regarded that area as a forbidden area. I don't know how long it took to send some researcher into the forest, but judging from the current situation, I'm afraid this time span is indeed a bit long.
But what I don't understand is that although there is a situation in the village, it is not helpless. First of all, there are still a lot of young and middle-aged people left. If they resist, they may not have a chance of winning. I wondered if people in that era were really too simple? Or simply ignorance
I asked Lao Feng, have you always let this group of people lead you by the nose? Have you ever thought about solving the problem from the source? Every time a researcher comes alone, you can tie up one and torture him.
Lao Feng shook his head, Boss Jiang, how could we not have thought about what you said? Am I not finished yet? Let me tell you, these investigators are not human!
