Unexpectedly, the halfway team members suddenly appeared, blocking my way, each with scarlet eyes, and there was still no shadow on the ground. I knew that something was not good.
They started slowly approaching me, and couldn’t help feeling flustered. I turned around and ran towards the woods behind me. When I turned back, I found them rushing towards me at the speed of a beast, thinking in my heart, I’m still young, I’m still young, absolutely Can run away.
When I was comforting myself, the two figures passed in front of me like lightning, and then suddenly stopped. For a moment, cold sweat accumulated on their backs, and suddenly remembered, the charm in the trouser pockets immediately took out, and my mouth started muttering to myself.
The team members became static in an instant, and their bodies began to gradually blur, and the shadows on the ground began to appear again, but within a few seconds, the shadows disappeared with the team members.
I sat on the ground all of a sudden, sigh of relief, damn it, I was scared to death. Thanks to my cleverness, I took a rest for a while. It was not easy to delay, so I immediately set off to find the old Taoist priest.
Out of the woods, he rushed to town without stopping.
Passing by, I thought that I hadn't been home for a long time, and I didn't know what happened to my parents. I started to feel guilty. So I turned around and bought something in the store near my home. I didn't dare to go in, so I left the things at the door of the house.
They didn't know much about some things. They didn't dare to stay after putting things away, so they ran downstairs and passed by the phone booth downstairs. After hesitating for a long time, they picked up the phone.
Plan to report them peace. Listening to the instructions on the phone, nagging, afraid that I would feel soft, vaguely said a few words, and said that I am fine now, so I hurriedly ended the conversation and left immediately.
When I reached the crossroads, my left shoulder was suddenly hit hard.
When I went, I could be hit by walking. I was a little angry, so I turned around and grabbed the person who hit me.
"Fuck, you don't have eyes on walking, you can hit me as a big person, what's wrong with you."
He turned his head slowly, his face turned pale, his lips trembled, his eyes looked at me erratic, and he didn't speak.
The big truck in front of "Dididi" honked his whistle, and saw him agitate, and then quickly ran away. I also quickly left the scene with hindsight, recalling the look in his eyes as I walked, it was fucking weird.
The phone's ringtone suddenly rang, and I took it out.
"Hou San, where's my captain? I ask you if I have an urgent matter." It was the captain.
Looking for me at this time, I was also very busy, "I haven't dealt with my affairs yet, what can I say when I come back."
"One hundred thousand in a hurry, I will come to you right away, and we will have an interview."
This guy still has a hundred thousand urgent things. I'm going to see what he has. "Okay, see you at the first intersection."
I hung up the phone, but in 10 minutes I saw him rushing over in a hurry, breathing heavily.
"My buddy feels like a wicked man recently, and his temper has become quite weird and he always looks at you with penetrating eyes. Think of a way." The captain was anxiously spinning around me. My eyes are blurred.
I asked "It suddenly became like this?"
"Yes, my whole person has changed since I came back from my hometown. It was fine before?"
"Where is his hometown?"
"It seems to be called Xiangxi, yes, in Xiangxi, he mentioned it once before."
I felt like, "Xiangxi is a good place. Let's set off right away and take a look at his hometown."
After getting off the shuttle bus, we walked for another 30 minutes, then took the rural bus, and drove for about another 2 hours, and finally reached his hometown, a place called Muchui Village in western Hunan. The sun had already set when we arrived.
When I walked into the village, I saw that the houses were all made of wood and stood sparsely. It might be dinner time. Looking at it, there are some elderly people sitting on the threshold of their homes and eating.
We walked slowly in, and some old people followed us with the same eyes.
"What do they look at?" Bewildered at Chang.
"I also want to know, didn't you contact your buddy's parents? Where are we staying tonight?"
"Yes, yes, yes, his relatives told me on the phone that he was his house at the end of the village, walk around."
As I walked, I observed the surroundings and found that the threshold for all the residents here is so high. I underestimated it in a low voice. I am not afraid that the elderly with inconvenient legs can not cross it? Or is there any special use? I became more puzzled.
When that buddy's house is reached, you must ask the captain to ask.
At the end of the village, a middle-aged man in his early 40s came out. "Are you friends of great talents?"
"Yes, yes, yes, yes, you are the cousin, I am the brother who can say nothing, he said that we must go to his hometown when we come to Xiangxi to play, saying that the people here are very simple. The air is also good. No, I came over and asked him for his cousin's phone number by the way." The captain smiled.
I remembered the doubts I had just now, and said, "By the way, cousin, why are your barriers so high here?"
"Have you heard of the corpse in Xiangxi? We are here to guard against zombies, so they can't get in or get out." The cousin slowly moved closer to the long ear and lowered his voice.
"Brother, don't lie to me, I'm timid" The captain immediately paled.
I just heard of zombies, but I've seen them in zombie movies! Is there such a thing? Hey, just walk around at night to find out.
After waiting for a long time, the sky was finally completely dark. As expected, it was the village. When I went out, I couldn't see my fingers. At this time, I guess I couldn't even recognize my mother.
"Captain, what are you doing?" I shouted.
"Hou San, I really don't dare to go, my cousin said, there are zombies, zombies, that's so scary! Let's not go out tonight." The captain looked around outside.
At the critical moment, the captain actually started to persuade
"Didn't you ask me to come and solve your brother's problem?"
"How the hell did I know that there are zombies?" The captain actually started to shiver.
"You come out of me", not allowing him to speak, I pulled him out of the room.
"I'm covering you, run away first if something happens." As soon as I finished speaking, I made myself handsome.
"This is what you said, then I will walk behind you." The captain pulled my sleeve tightly.
When we walked out, there was no one on the road, and remembered what our cousin had just said, don't go out at night, don't come out no matter what sound you hear, curiosity killed the cat.
We were walking on the road in the village. The genius had just darkened, and there was no one on the road.
We walked forward for about an hour, and saw a relatively dilapidated house. Compared to the houses the villagers lived in, it felt more deserted and outdated.
In the wooden house, all the windows were sealed from the outside, and the door was locked from the outside. My instinct told me that there was definitely a problem here.
The captain's hands tightening his sleeves tightened, "Hou San, let's go back. There is something wrong here. There is still a house so far away from the village. It looks like no one lives. Let's go back. My legs are shaking. ."
The captain felt that there was already a cry.
"Why are you so persuaded, I have a problem
We just came here, have you forgotten the main purpose? Find out the specific reason for your buddy's big change. "
I shrugged, "Follow me."
"Where are the tools? Did you bring it? Lock picking." I urged.
"Bring, bring, I brought" the captain took out the tools from his bag and got ready.
As a veteran, after a while, the lock was opened.
I slowly opened the latch and gently opened the door, "Go behind me." I said to the captain.
Walking in, there are 5 coffins in the lobby, all side by side. The strange thing is that each coffin is wrapped with rope.
"Hou San, why should the coffin be tied with rope?" the captain asked.
"I have heard some local elderly people say that some people will have a breath after death. If this breath is not discharged, the corpse will become a zombie, otherwise, it will not. If it becomes a corpse to a certain extent, they will If you run out to bite people everywhere, you must seal the coffin with ink thread to prevent them from running out."
The captain stared at the thread on the coffin, "Then the ink thread on the coffin?"
"I think it should be, otherwise there will be no one in this village"
"Since the coffins are all sealed with ink thread, then what is going on."
I thought for a while, Da Cai's symptoms didn't look like he was bitten by a zombie. According to the captain's description, it seemed like an evil spirit.
"We need to continue to investigate this clearly. We will talk about it when we go back. Tomorrow you will find our cousin Da Cai to find out the news. Don't explain our intentions, let's not say it." I rubbed my hands and felt some coolness.
"Okay, let's go back today, Hou San." The captain suddenly rushed to me, "Let's go."
"Boom boom boom"
Suddenly, there was a violent noise in the lobby, and I looked back and saw that the five coffins shook violently, probably due to the ink line, they could not be swayed.
"Mom, let's go, let's go." The captain disappeared as soon as he finished speaking.
I immediately followed.
On the way, the captain was still shivering, "Damn, that thing, the strength is so strong, it can actually shake the coffin like this."
"If you ask Da Cai's cousin tomorrow, you will know."
We accelerate the pace and go back.
"Finally here" the captain pushed open the door.
"Where did you go so late? Didn't you say not to go out at night?"
As soon as the door opened, I saw Da Cai's cousin sitting in the room waiting for us.
"Cousin, I have diarrhea just now, no, Hou San was in the latrine just now, don’t I have no place! So I ran out and went to see me. Hou San saw that I hadn’t come back for a long time, so he went to me. I couldn’t find the way, come back. It's late, sorry." The captain said with a guilty conscience.
Cousin Da Cai glanced over us, "Go to sleep, remember not to run out again."
"Come on, we remember, it's so late, let's take a rest early," the captain said cheerfully.
"Well, rest early."
As soon as the cousin stepped out, the captain closed the door immediately and held his chest, "I'm scared to death, like a thief."
The captain approached me and pulled me to the bed, "Hou San, I think it's weird here, the place and the people are all weird."
"You nonsense, can't I see it? Look at the threshold here, the attitude of the cousin, and the behavior of the villagers."
"Let's go to them tomorrow for idioms." The captain clapped his hands and looked confident.
"Captain, it's very late today, let's rest first, and we will discuss the long-term plan tomorrow."
I was obviously tired, but there was a sudden roar outside and I woke up.
I quickly went out to check, zombies were rampant...
