Chapter 1201: Reappearance of the Past
"I don't know, but I guess it has something to do with the customs in their village."
Lin Ran smiled and climbed over the wall directly into the village chief's house.
Liu Jingfeng also followed his movements and turned in.
"It's useless. Even if we knock on their door, they won't open the door." Liu Jingfeng had already tried it in the morning. No matter whether we gave him money or threatened him, the door wouldn't budge.
"We have another way."
The current situation is too weird. If you don't figure out what's going on, your life may be in danger.
At this juncture, Lin Ran could only take emergency measures.
He shouted into the room: "Wuchangzhen, if you don't want us to pull out the strange wooden sticks at your door, please open the door quickly."
He also squatted down.
The curtains were drawn on the window, but Lin Ran noticed that the curtains were shaking vaguely, and it was obvious that someone was behind them.
He believed that Wu Changzhen must be watching them secretly from behind the curtain.
Only this strange wooden stick can lead them out.
Lin Ran squatted down and pretended to pull out the stick.
A woman's exclamation came from the room, and then Wu Changzhen shouted: "You tomb robbers, do you have any contact? You have caused our village to become like this, and you want to kill my whole family?"
Lin Ran was indifferent to his moral kidnapping. He said, "We have no grievances, so why should we say it was us?"
"you..."
"Can you tell me something clearly in person?" Lin Ran saw that he was wavering because his hand was already on the wood carving.
This wooden sculpture is obviously inserted in the picture, but it should not be buried deep and can be pulled out with a little force.
Wu Changzhen finally became anxious. He opened the curtains and said, "Okay, you guys come in quickly."
He opened the door and waved at them, looking extremely anxious.
Lin Ran and Liu Jingfeng looked at each other and then entered his room.
He quickly closed the door and drew the curtains again.
His wife was sitting on a stool crying.
"Stop crying, hide in the room." Wu Changzhen said to the woman, although his tone was stern, but full of love.
The woman entered the room with the child and closed the door.
Wu Changzhen picked up his pipe and stuffed some tobacco leaves into it.
He took a heavy drag on the cigarette before he calmed down, but his hands were still shaking.
"Why haven't you left the village yet?"
"It would be great if we could leave." Lin Ran smiled bitterly, "You don't even have a car in this village, how can we get out?"
"If you want to go down the mountain, it's impossible, you can't get out." The village chief said with a heavy expression, "Our mountain can only be entered but not exited."
"Nonsense, there is no such thing." Liu Jingfeng didn't want to believe it in his heart.
"Let him finish." Lin Ran said, and it was obvious that Wu Changzhen was very scared.
Wu Changzhen stopped trying to keep things secret from them and directly told the whole story.
"Ever since someone released a monster from a deserted tomb 20 years ago, our village has never had peace."
"My grandfather, the old man you saw, was the first victim."
"No one has ever seen what the monster really looks like. They only know that he wears a black leather hat and a linen jacket."
"Whenever someone else enters the village, he will come to the village the next day and start killing people."
"At first we could only hide in the cellar or the closet and wait for him to finish killing and then come out."
"Later, a senior monk came and fought with the monster, but was seriously injured and was able to fight off the monster temporarily."
"On his deathbed, he told us about a kind of talisman, which is the thing you see. As long as the wood is carved into that shape and placed at the door of the house, monsters will not rush in."
Lin Ran and Liu Jingfeng looked at each other, as if they were listening to a ghost story.
Is it really that evil? He has a kind heart.
"We buried the monk and thought it was okay. A Bao at the entrance of the village was kind-hearted. A family of three drove their car and seemed to have gotten lost and came to the village."
"Of course the villagers didn't dare to accept him. Only Abao took them in."
"He thought that with the talisman, monsters would not come into his house."
"Who would have known that the monster's hatred for outsiders was very obvious. Even with the talisman on his back, he rushed into A Bao's house and killed A Bao and all three members of that family."
"After killing the outsiders, the monsters will return to the barren tomb, and we can live a relatively quiet life."
"Then haven't you ever thought about leaving?" Liu Jingfeng asked. Hearing this story, he felt chills running down his spine.
Lin Ran also felt that it seemed like a scene from some horror movie, which could only be described as evil.
It is normal for some folk tales to exist in such remote mountain villages.
But this was the first time he had seen someone treat him so seriously.
Wu Changzhen's face was ashen and he said, "Of course we have thought about moving away, but there is a thick layer of fog at the foot of the mountain."
"Some villagers went in with something, only to come out again after turning it around."
"Even the previous eminent monk tried, but he couldn't leave the foot of the mountain."
"However, we saw with our own eyes that outsiders entered the village through the thick fog."
Simply appalling.
Lin Ran also frowned.
"I know everything I know. I have told you everything. Can you please leave?" Wu Changzhen knelt on the ground with a bang. "It doesn't matter if I die, but I hope my wife and children can live."
It seems that Po's tragedy has left a deep shadow in his heart.
Lin Ran said: "We can leave, but I still have a question."
"You said."
"Today's date, specific to year, month and day."
Liu Jingfeng was a little confused and said: "Brother Lin, it was May 15th when I went out, and it should be around June [-]th now."
Wu Changzhen nodded, "Yes, according to the calendar, today should be June 6th."
"What about the year?"
"2002."
...
Liu Jingfeng's face showed an expression of great astonishment, "Village Chief, are you kidding us?"
Wu Changzheng almost burst into tears. How could he be in the mood to joke with the two of them.
He just said: "Actually, I dare not confirm it because we have no way to communicate with the outside world. However, the calendar left by my grandfather clearly stated 1982. It has been 20 years now."
At this time, a large number of birds flew up from the mountains in the distance, causing the trees to rustle.
Wu Changzhen's face suddenly turned pale and he kowtowed twice: "Two benefactors, can you please leave my house?"
Liu Jingfeng wanted to persuade him not to be afraid, but Lin Ran had already pulled him to leave.
"Village Chief, if you are worried, after we leave, find some soil or sprinkle some dung directly on the ground." Lin Ran said to the village chief, "The monster should sense our presence through the breath. He will tell you His hostility is not very deep, he should go crazy when he encounters outsiders."
