In the dark night, a guard on night watch went to relieve himself in a weedy area behind the village. He stepped on something and slipped, falling into the ravine in front.
"ah!"
The guard screamed instinctively, fell down, hit his head, and his screams stopped abruptly.
"What happened?"
"What's wrong?"
The other two guards on night watch who heard the noise came over and asked, but they didn't see anyone around. Until a while later, a voice came from the ravine.
"It's okay. I just accidentally fell into this ravine and broke my head."
After hearing this, the other two guards said, "It's good that you're okay. Get up quickly. If you hit your head, find some medicine to apply on it." Then they walked back.
The two of them didn't notice that although the sound came from the ravine, there was no movement in the ravine. If they went up to take a look inside the ravine, they would find that the guard who fell was lying motionless in the ravine, and under him, a sharp piece of white bone could be vaguely seen...
After a long while, the motionless guard's fingers suddenly moved. He stood up from the ravine, stretched his stiff body, and then slowly turned around.
I saw that his face was pale and stiff, and the blood on his forehead had flowed down his face, but it had already dried up, which looked very strange.
He pulled the corners of his mouth, revealing a sinister smile, jumped out of the ravine, and walked forward step by step.
The two guards who were on night watch waited for a long time but didn't see the man come back. They were saying, "Why hasn't he come out in such a long time? Did he faint from falling?"
"How could he faint? Did he still respond to our requests before?"
"How about we go take another look?"
Hearing this, the two looked at each other and nodded: "Okay, let's go and have a look! Let him come back quickly at this late hour."
As they said this, they turned around and prepared to look behind them, but when they turned around, they saw a person with blood all over his face standing silently behind them. The blood on the other person's face scared them so much.
"ah!"
The two men gasped, and when they saw that it was the guard who went to relieve himself, they couldn't help but sighed softly and cursed angrily: "You want to scare people to death in the middle of the night! Go and deal with the blood on your face."
The two patted their chests. Seeing him standing there looking at them expressionlessly, they felt a little scared by his gaze and couldn't help asking, "What are you looking at?"
The guard grinned and said, "Nothing. I'll go take care of my wound." Then he turned around and was about to walk into one of the rooms. The two guards were so frightened that they quickly stepped forward and grabbed him.
"Did you hit your head? That's the lady's room!"
Hearing this, the guard turned around and said, "I forgot for a moment." Then he asked, "Where can I go to change the medicine?"
"Go over there. The others are resting over there." As he said that, the two guards looked at him strangely: "Did you get hurt after this fall? Why are you acting so weird?"
"The hit is very deep and the wound hurts very much." The guard pointed to his head where he was hit, gave them a stiff smile, then turned and left, walking in the direction the two men pointed.
