"Squad Leader Zhang, did you squat in the village all night last night?"

"Aren't you worried... that you will encounter some strange things that have been spreading in the village recently?"

Fangzheng asked out of curiosity.

Zhang Jianming took a steady look at Fangzheng: "Make up for your ideals and beliefs, and there are no ghosts in your heart."

"Afraid of death not to be a soldier."

The last five words fell to the ground with a clang, as if they were swearing loudly with a certain belief in their chests. It was a grand heart, and the masculinity of the body was as strong as a furnace.

Zhang Jianming, Zhao Tai, and Chen Zhiyong, even though they are veterans who have been discharged from the army, their postures still do not forget the straightness and straightness of the military spirit. And the military uniform that stands tall and stands tall, representing the Great Wall.

Fangzheng was in awe.

Zhang Jianming's seemingly ordinary answer.

But as ordinary people, trapped in a weird mountain village where everyone is in danger, how many people dare to risk themselves? Selfless to save everyone

Even Fang Zheng couldn't deny that he was afraid of death,

At the same time he is also very selfish.

But Zhang Jianming's seemingly ordinary answer, who can understand the danger and sacrifice involved in it

There is no time to be quiet, but someone is carrying the weight for you! !

"Thanks."

Fangzheng's eyes were sincere, and thousands of words could not be worth the most solemn word at this moment.

Chen Zhiyong, who is only in his twenties, has a bright smile.

Zhao Tai, who had always been taciturn and the most stable, nodded slightly to Fangzheng.

Zhang Jianming, the squad leader, still looks so straight.

"Brother Fangzheng, your complexion seems to be worse than yesterday. Did you not have a good rest last night? Besides, why did you come to the ancestral hall so early today?" Zhang Jianming was both concerned and puzzled while waiting for the people to gather.

Next, Fangzheng briefly talked about what happened last night, as well as the disappearance of Uncle Li and Aunt Zhou.

Of course, he deliberately erased many details.

At the same time, Fangzheng also provided important clues about the dry well of the ancestral hall. The disappearance of Uncle Li and Aunt Zhou this time reminded him of the mysterious dry well at the ancestral hall, and he planned to come here to find clues.

Although there were some loopholes in Fangzheng's words, Zhang Jianming and the others did not point them out. Zhang Jianming said solemnly: "Unexpectedly, Brother Fangzheng's investigation direction is exactly the result of our investigation. It seems that this matter has a high probability It’s true, this man on the ground didn’t lie to us.”

"Just now we were planning to get everyone to help dig out the dry well, and maybe we can solve all the mysteries of this series of disappearances."

Fangzheng was surprised, he didn't expect Zhang Jianming and the others to investigate so deeply.

The few people didn't wait long, and they waited for the stranded tourists who came in a hurry. They all had thick dark circles under their eyes. It was obvious that last night was another sleepless night under the panic.

After counting the number of people, everyone was shocked to find that no one was missing last night, except for the girl who disappeared the night before.

Just when Zhang Jianming was about to explain his intentions, suddenly, there was the sound of chaotic footsteps and shouts outside the ancestral hall. It seemed that a large group of people were approaching the ancestral hall quickly.

Zhang Jianming, Zhao Tai, and Chen Zhiyong's complexion changed, and they immediately ran towards the entrance of the ancestral hall, but it was too late. The village chief led a large group of villagers with hoes, sickles, and poles, and surrounded the ancestral hall.

At this moment, the villagers were excited and their faces were full of anger.

"You actually broke the door lock, trespassed on the restricted area of the village's ancestral hall, tied them up, and killed these outsiders!"

"Kill them! Kill them!"

The ancestral hall is a place where ancestors are enshrined, important sacrifices are made, and family affairs are handled. For example, in some ancient scenes, the whole village often gathers in the ancestral hall to judge a pair of cheating men and women, and then use bloody cruel lynching.

If an outsider trespasses on the ancestral hall, if it is placed in ancient times when the concept of ancestral halls is the most traditional, it is no less than destroying other people's ancestral tombs and disturbing the ancestors' sleep. It is considered disrespectful and filial. If it is a conflict between two villages, bloody conflicts will definitely erupt.

As a group of ordinary tourists, I have never seen such a big battle in front of me. Everyone's face was pale, and they dared not speak out. They were afraid of the angry villagers, holding hoes and sickles, and rushed forward.

At this critical juncture, the figures of Zhang Jianming, Zhao Tai, and Chen Zhiyong, like three city walls, stood firmly at the gate to prevent angry villagers from rushing into the ancestral hall, causing harm to innocent tourists and further spreading the situation.

"What's going on with you guys!"

"Why do you want to break into the ancestral hall in the village without authorization!"

The village chief's face turned blue and his body was shaking with anger, he shouted at Zhang Jianming and the three of them.

"Village chief, I have a story here. The village chief will listen to the story I told first." Zhang Jianming did not back down.

Subsequently, Zhang Jianming revealed a dark history of ancient feudal ignorance.

Once upon a time, there was a small mountain village that did not worship sages and saints, but a statue of a mountain god in the mountain temple.

There is a deep well in the mountain god temple that has existed for an unknown number of years. The old people in the village say that the ancient well leads directly to the mountain god's bedroom, so they offer sacrifices to the mountain god every five years, praying for good weather and a good harvest every year.

These selfish villagers would go out of the mountains to abduct and sell a pair of children every five years, until one day, they met a pair of mother and son who had fled to the vicinity to escape the war... Later, the country reformed and opened up, the country broke the four old, To break feudal superstition, demolish mountain temples, and abolish ghosts and gods. Even if this mountain village is hidden in the deep mountains and old forests, it will still be pushed down to the mountain temple and all ghosts and snake gods will be abolished in the face of fierce resistance.

But this small mountain village is ignorant and feudal, and hides it from outsiders. It rebuilt an ancestral hall on the original site of the mountain temple to hide people's eyes and ears, and it is doing utterly unconscionable things behind its back. It’s just that with the reform and opening up, all the abduction and trafficking of women and children were severely cracked down. The villagers who were crazy like devils began to target the children in the village, but they did not expect that the mountain god was pushed down. For some unknown reason, the deep well in the mountain temple dried up overnight and became An ordinary abandoned well, at this time another pair of innocent and poor children were killed.

The ancient well has been abandoned, and later, the villagers completely sealed the dry well, so as to bury this darkest and bloodiest history forever, and the poor pair of children, one of the boys is the son of the villager Li Dashan; The girl is the daughter of villager Guo Ligen, and the story ends here...

"The name of this mountain village is Gujing Village. I wonder if the village chief has heard the name of this village?"

Zhang Jianming stared intently at the village head and the villagers who surrounded the ancestral hall. In those eyes, anger was being suppressed.

The village chief's expression changed.

Even the tourists in the ancestral hall were all pale, unable to believe what they heard.

I just feel cold all over my body.

The ancients in the past could not have imagined that the feudal superstition had reached this point.

Fangzheng fell silent, this was the last answer he wanted to see.

However, when Fangzheng heard the word Li Dashan by accident, Fangzheng was slightly taken aback. Li Dashan was the missing family of Uncle Li and Aunt Zhou...

The other person named Guo Ligen, Fangzheng also learned later, was the name of the villager who was kidnapped by the three of Zhang Jianming.

As for why he let go of the roosters in front of the villagers' houses, perhaps, it was just out of revenge.

Listening to Zhang Jianming's story, most of the villagers besieged outside the ancestral hall were dazed and at a loss. Only a small number of elderly people in their 70s and 80s changed their faces drastically. They were flustered when a lie was exposed face to face, and also felt ashamed and bowed their heads in remorse.

"Blood spurting."

"Who dares to smear the reputation of my Gujing Village like this? Is there any law of heaven and kings?"

An old and aged voice came out furiously, and several long-lived old people in the village were rushed to them with livid faces, being carried on the backs of strong villagers.

The old man who spoke was actually the most respected and long-lived old man who upheld justice in the ancestral hall the day before yesterday.

On that day, he said one by one not to slander good people, people are doing what the sky is watching, as if he still vividly remembers it.

However, at this moment, Zhang Jianming was not afraid of the old man at all, and looked at him sharply: "When I was interrogating Guo Ligen, he mentioned that the murderer who killed his daughter in the last private sacrifice was you, Li Zongchang! "

"I have reported everything that happened in this village to the outside world. If you want evidence, dig the dry well in the ancestral hall to prove it!"

Li Zongchang leaned heavily on his crutches, and said angrily, "I see who dares to destroy my ancestral hall in Gujing Village today!"

Suddenly, bang, a dull and loud sound like a heavy object falling to the ground came from the ancestral hall.

Fang Zheng dug out a dry well in the ancestral hall that was buried in the ground by bluestone slabs.

"found it."

However!

The picture in front of them instantly shattered like a mirror, and everyone was horrified to find that the sky above their heads was actually dark night, and they were standing in a dark ancestral hall with no lights. In the ancestral hall, coffins are being placed full.

During the day, the villagers, the village head, and Li Zongzhang all disappeared.

ah!

The sharp and terrifying screams tore through the night.

It was soon discovered that those self-driving tourists who entered the village later disappeared from their side.

"Ah, why are there so many coffins, what is going on here!"

"Everyone, look at your mobile phone. The time displayed on the mobile phone turned out to be the day before yesterday, the day we entered the village in a rainstorm!"

"The group... the group disappeared, the group we created disappeared..."

Panic, horror, fear, someone has been scared to cry.

Ghost hit the wall!

A dream within a dream? !

Fangzheng's face changed, it turned out to be... But before he could think about it, suddenly, there was a movement from the dry well, as if something was coming out along the stone wall of the dry well...

hair!

Women's long black hair!

Like a tide, it grew crazily from the dry well, along the mouth of the well, and began to spread crazily to the surroundings. At this weird and terrifying scene, the people around were frightened on the spot, their legs were weak, and they forgot to turn around and run away.

"Why are you still standing there! Run, run quickly!"

"Something is coming out of the well!!"

Fangzheng roared, finally waking up the frightened people like a dream, and everyone fled in panic.
