MTL - The Haunted-Chapter 98 Irimura
I thought about it late and nodded.
But he did not leave immediately, but returned to where they stopped the motorcycle, and took out a lighter to ignite two symbols. This is called a guide sign. Before Zhu Hui’s family and the two police officers came back on this road, they could not come back. He suspected that there might be weird on this road. If there is such a guide, then there is no fear of ghosts hitting the wall or something else. What kind of ghost means can find the way back.
The two men slowly walked along the road and watched the situation on both sides of the road while riding. The motorcycle rut on the ground gradually became inconspicuous, and the path of the path that was stepped on gradually disappeared. There was a noisy mountain forest in front. Just when the two were unsure of which direction to go, hesitant to decide to return, and he saw a faint light in front of him.
He stopped the motorcycle and climbed up next to a large stone looking in that direction - not a little light, but a piece that looked like a small village.
Lately climbed down from the stone, indicating Song Jin went to see, standing up and looking up at the friend: "Dong Song, do you see there is a village? Have you heard of other nearby villages?"
When I was in high school, I followed my mother to R City. After that, I lived in the urban area. In addition to the holiday, I rarely traveled to nearby counties. He knows the approximate location and name of the eleven counties under the R city, but he knows nothing about the villages and towns under the county. It is because of this incident that there are two towns below Pinggu County. It is called Fengshui and Qinglan.
Song Jin jumped from the stone and nodded. "There is a village. I checked a lot of maps around Fengshui and Qinglan before. I didn't pay attention to such a village, but this mountain is Pinggu County and Huilin. The boundary of the county, and then going to the other side should go to Huilin County, so it may have been ignored by me."
There are nearly 30 villages near Fengshui and Qinglan. If it is not a site visit, it is easy to overlook this village that does not belong to the area of Pinggu County. After all, it is not on the normal route of the two towns.
He hesitated and asked: "The ruler, let's go back and check the situation of the village. Will you come back tomorrow or look at it directly?"
It is already 9:45 in the evening. Judging from the scale of the lights I just saw, the village should not be small. It may be said that there are dozens of households.
I am late to see that Song Jin is still trying to continue to investigate. This village that has been neglected before is likely to provide some clues about the missing five people. He estimated the distance and time of the trip back and proposed: "Would you like to continue walking and rest in the village?"
The night in the mountains is very cold. He wears less clothes. He rides a motorcycle in the wind and only feels that his body can’t stop shaking. He is now eager for a warm room to warm him up. It’s best to get into the bed. Have a good rest. It takes almost an hour to ride back to Fengshui Town or ride to Qinglan Town, but you can reach the village by watching the distance for another ten minutes.
Song Jin nodded. "Well, you stop at the entrance to the village. I am advanced to touch the situation. If you look at me for a quarter of an hour, don't hesitate, go quickly and go back to the town to get the rescue." At this time, he was not afraid of monsters and ghosts, but worried that like some TV dramas, the villages hidden in the mountains actually harbor criminal criminal gangs. The Zhuhui family and the two police officers may have discovered They were hijacked or even killed. He couldn't sit still when he thought of this possibility.
He nodded late and rolled over to ride a motorcycle. The two followed and continued to drive to the village.
Sure enough, I walked in the direction of the village. After ten minutes, the mountain road gradually widened and the road into the village became clear. Although the network signal is still intermittent, but the mobile phone also received the signal, but the network speed is very slow, intermittent.
With the signal and the network, it is much more reassuring. Open the map to find out that the village they are in now is called Hejia Village. Song Jin still has a heart hanging, and he found a good signal outside the village to call himself. Master, reported his current location and related clues, and asked the other party to check the relevant situation of Hejia Village.
The result of the other party’s investigation is that everything is normal. This is an ordinary village. The only thing that is unique is that most of the villagers in this village moved from the south many years ago.
After hearing this answer and reporting his own whereabouts, Song Jin apparently felt a lot of relief and went straight into the village with his lateness. A small store in the village also lit the lights. Song Jin stopped the car and bought a box of cigarettes and two bottles of water. By the way, he inquired about the situation.
The owner of the commissary said to them that there is a guest house not far from the inside. It is the only restaurant and hotel in the village. Song Jinhe and Chi Yu decided to take a rest here, and in the village during the day to inquire about the relevant news and then make plans.
Sure enough, after two people walked forward for 30 meters, they saw a rectangular sign with red and white characters. The words "the guest house" were printed in the Song Dynasty. The facade was small, and the dim and pale incandescent light came out through the door. You can see that there is an old-fashioned counter inside, and a middle-aged man sits behind the counter.
After the two entered, the man heard the sound before putting down the game console in his hand and stood up and said, "Do you live in the store?"
There is a lamp hanging on the roof. The lamp has not been changed for a long time. The two ends are black, the middle is foggy, and the sound is loud, and the projected light is not very bright.
Looking down at the game console, the black and white pixel display shows the picture of the tank battle. He remembered that he also had such a game console when he was five or six years old. It was bought by his mother from outside. Before the encounter, the console had spent a lot of boring and boring time with him. I did not expect that there are still people playing this kind of game machine. I think it should be used by the owner to pass the time.
The two asked for a double room, and after paying the account, the owner personally took the key and brought them into the room. The door here is still opened with a key, not a room card. The three people chatted casually along the way. Chi Yu and Song Jin faked that they came to the nearby tourist. They went back late, the weather was cold, and they just passed by, so they planned to stay for one night and then set off.
The owner told them that they have just passed the year and there are not many people coming to stay. Now there are only two guests in the store. There are no shop assistants in the store. The daily cleaning and checkout work is done by him and his wife. In addition, there are their eight-year-old daughters in the guest house.
The guest house is small, with two floors. The first floor is the residence of the counter, the restaurant and the owner of the store. There are seven or eight rooms on the second floor for the check-in. The owner takes them to the room and leaves the key and leaves.
The room environment is not good, all sides are white walls, slightly yellow, carefully look at the insects or do not know what other things left behind. There was no bathroom, and there was only one table and two beds in the room, but the white sheets looked clean.
Song Jin has nothing to pay attention to, and he is not a spoiled person. Although his mother loved him, he never used to be pampered with him. The only one who can be called a spoiled person is only that person. After the mother returned to her grandfather's family, her mother's body was not as good as one day. The grandparents were old people who had spent years in the family. At home, he must be self-reliant and self-reliant. Not only can he not rely on his family's elders, but he should also take care of his mother as much as possible. And grandparents and grandparents. Under such circumstances, the little temper that was spoiled by the boy in his youth was quickly smoothed out.
Therefore, there is nothing critical about the lateness of the accommodation. The only thing that feels bad is that there is no heating in the guest house. The room is unoccupied for a long time. It feels extraordinarily cold. Even if I have been indoors for more than two hours, I will pack myself with a quilt. It is still difficult to remove the chill in the body.
Lately took the phone and looked at it. It was already 11:30 in the evening. Song Jin, who was next to the bed, had already fallen asleep and gave a slight snoring. The room was dark, the curtains were stretched, the night outside could not be seen, and the village was quiet, as if it had fallen into a deep sleep.
He climbed up lightly, took the door key and the phone, locked the door and went to the bathroom. There is no separate bathroom in each room of the guest house, there is a public bathroom at the end of the corridor, and there is a small bathroom. The corridor was very dark. I don't know if it was because there were not many people living and there was no lighting to save electricity. I had to take the mobile phone and walk to the innermost bathroom.
After coming out of the bathroom, I also took out my mobile phone and turned on the flashlight and took the road to the corridor. The bright white light shook a little, illuminating a small figure on the other side of the corridor, standing face to face.
That thing is not big, like a young child, but the head is big. I didn’t look carefully at that moment, only faintly saw the face with a curved smile, but there was no white eyes in the pupil, and I stared at him motionless.
Suddenly, I remembered the land bound spirit that I met in the bathhouse in the third year of my high school. It was also a pale and wooden face, like the statue of a mud tire in the temple, always with a constant, upwardly raised smile, no matter At which angle you go, it will look at you.
His heart jerked up and shouted: "Who!" At the same time, he used his mobile phone flashlight to shine over there.
When it was swept by the light, the thing made a little girl’s sly laughter.
“What's wrong?” The inquiry from the owner of the store came from the first floor, followed by the sound of the upstairs, and then the sound in the hallway was turned on.
Late, I also thoroughly saw what the thing was. It was a little girl about seven or eight years old, but she wore a big white mask like a New Year's doll. The face of the face on the mask rises upwards, and the eyebrows are smiling, the eyebrows are thin, and the eyes are large, but only the eyes are white and there is no barren.
The owner pulled the little girl into his arms and whispered: "Ying Ying, why don't you sleep and ran out? What about your mother?"
The little girl took off her mask and pouted to her father: "Mom is asleep, I can't sleep."
The owner said a few words to her, grabbed the mask, rushed her to sleep, watched her daughter go downstairs and turned around to face the late, some embarrassed: "I am sorry, my daughter is more naughty. Because always Without the guests, there is no need to remember to leave the lights, scare you?"
"No, it's okay." He smiled and looked at the mask in the hands of the store owner. "What is this?"
"It's used in fleas and fleas. Almost every household in our village has one, and I don't know how to be turned over by her." The owner explained, "We will flea in the Chinese New Year. It is a kind of ceremony."
"I know. Tsui Tsui and I sent it." Chino nodded and went forward to look at the mask carefully.
傩 is a more traditional ritual activity, dating back to the Zhou dynasty. When fleas, people wear this mask dance called 傩面. This word was mentioned in "Border Town", saying that the meaning of sending a name is "sent by God." However, this tradition and this kind of worship of gods are mostly prevalent in the area of Sichuan and Chongqing. R City is located in the north. It has never been heard of similar rituals. He remembered the message that Master Song Jin told them that most of Hejiacun had moved from the South many years ago, so it is well understood that the villagers brought this custom together. As for the reasons for population migration, there are many reasons. Most of them used to be natural disasters and man-made disasters, such as droughts and floods or wars. After the founding of the country, they were mostly dominated by policy factors. However, they did not need to explore why the villagers of Hejia Village moved in the same year. This has nothing to do with the whereabouts of the Zhu Hui family and the two police officers.
The owner of the store did not respond to what he said late. He smiled and smiled and left with a mask.
When Chi has just walked into his room, locked the door, and prepared to go back to bed to sleep, he heard a soft knock on the door. The knock on the door rang three times. Seeing no response, the person outside the door knocked three times.
The sound sounds a bit strange, but it is not a strange sound, but a strange place to make a sound. The average person knocks on the door is the middle of the door, and the sound is made from there, but this time it is the sound from the bottom of the door, as if someone is kneeling on the floor, knocking on the door - kneeling on the ground, through the door below Peeking inward, reaching for the door.
I wrinkled my face late.
From the beginning to the beginning of the village, he always felt a strange thing that could not be said. But it is impossible to tell what is wrong.
He thought about it, pinching a ghost drive in his hand, unscrewing the lock and opening the door.
This time, a corridor light was lit up in the corridor, and I could clearly see the small figure outside the door. It was the little girl Yingying.
She is short, no wonder that the part that knocks on the door is also down.
The little girl was holding two dolls in her hand. When she saw the door open, she looked up at him and said, "Is the uncle scared by me? Then I let my brother and sister accompany my uncle?" Said, handed the two dolls in his arms.
The doll is a pair, the general size, can be seen as a boy and a girl, the size of the adult man's arm, roughly looks very simple work, like a child's own sewing. Maybe it was this little girl who sewed herself.
I don’t know how to deal with it after a while. He bent down and softly said: "Thank you, my uncle doesn't, my uncle hasn't been scared."
His rejection did not work, and the little girl still insisted on handing two dolls to him.
In the middle of the night, there was no way to delay, so I had to take two dolls and let the little girl go to sleep.
Yingying saw that he had smiled after picking up the doll, and jumped underground.
The owner of the store should still be at the counter. I really don't know how the child ran upstairs from her gaze.
After a long time, he shook his head, locked the door, and placed the two dolls on the empty table in the room. Anyway, after they check out, the owner will definitely take them away.
I don't know if it is his illusion, or just that he is too cold. When he took two dolls from the little girl, he actually felt the warm touch of the human skin. It felt fleeting. He was still on his hands and was still on the table with only two rough and simple rag dolls.
