[Bottle Evil] The Old Mansion's Strange Story

Chapter 13 The arrow is on the string

The old man breathed a sigh of relief when he said this, and so did I.Now many mysteries can be answered, such as the villagers’ secretiveness towards the old house, their rejection of me and Poker-Face, two outsiders, and the old man’s nonsense from me that a grave was washed away by rain. I have to take a look in the middle of the night, and I have the answers to these.

However, in the story the old man just told, although there are no obvious flaws, there are still many doubts. I believe that it is not difficult to imagine such things happening in those days, but the corpses that Poker-Face and I found in the tunnel of the old house What's going on, and most importantly, what's going on with that ghostly figure.

I calmed down the old man's emotions again, and when I asked about these two things, the old man suddenly grabbed my hand, with a look of fear in his eyes again, and said: "Nephew, listen to uncle, that place is really unacceptable." I’ve gone, don’t ask any more questions, and hurry back to the city tomorrow.”

The old man's words "big nephew" made me feel sore. I also knew that he was doing it for me and Poker Finger, so I didn't know how to continue asking.

Poker bottle seemed to see what I was thinking, and said indifferently: "Why did he kill you?" The question was straightforward.

I gave Poker Ping a look, meaning don't be so tough first.But I also know in my heart that Poker-Face has always disrespected the old and loved the young. He will definitely find a way to find out what he needs to know. If the old man doesn't tell us today, he will definitely go again tomorrow.Thinking of this, I became curious again why Poker-Face was so persistent this time.

The old man looked at us again, then sighed resignedly, and said, "He didn't intend to kill me. Anyone who approaches that old house will not be able to escape."

It turns out that what happened 40 years ago was not so easily revealed.

After more than ten years, the people in the village have forgotten about that incident. Except for the Qingming Festival every year and the fifteenth day of the seventh lunar month, the whole village will go to worship together, and no one will step into the mountain alone.

However, the world is unpredictable and people’s hearts are not ancient. After the Cultural Revolution, the ideological atmosphere has gradually changed. Only the older generation in the village still keep secrets about the old house and the events of the past. So much awe, so one day the two young men went up the mountain and entered the old house again, carrying the old man on their backs.

These two people were not curious or adventurous, but rushed to those funerary objects.But once he left, he never came back.The villagers searched for three days and three nights in the nearby mountains, and finally found the bodies of the two men on the beach of a river below the mountain, less than ten meters away. The situation is extremely tragic.

And this way of death had to remind the villagers of what happened back then, and the whole village was once again shrouded in the shadow of fear.

The past seems to be repeating itself, and everyone in the village is uneasy. Some people suspect that the relatives of the deceased took revenge, but neither of the two who died this time were the murderers or relatives of the family; Dispersed, ten years later came to revenge, in short, everyone is at risk.Xiangu was invited out again, and Xiangu pinched her fingers and said something bad happened, and it was not the dead who came to take revenge, but the mausoleum.This statement is unconvincing, how could the mausoleum kill people.But Xiangu insisted that the ancient tomb killed the villagers who tried to take away the funerary objects. As a proof, the villagers found a ring in the arms of one of the deceased. It is very similar to what is seen on the tomb door.There are also tomb robbers who were found dead behind the tomb door. They packed the funeral objects but failed to take them out. Xiangu said that they also died at the hands of the tomb.

Xiangu performed another ritual and warned the villagers never to set foot in the old house again, otherwise there will be retribution.After this incident, no one really dared to go up that mountain, let alone enter the old house. The villagers also made up many legends to scare the children. The stories that the fourth child heard when they were young all came from this way, but he and The other kid went anyway, luckily he escaped, otherwise I wouldn't have known him.

Having said that, Poker-Face and I have a rough guess that the two villagers who were hacked to death later were most likely killed by that figure.And according to the story the old man just told, the bodies of a group of tomb robbers were found behind the tomb door, and they were buried in the cemetery on the mountain together with the dozen or so villagers who died.Then what happened to the corpses of the tomb robbers that Poker-Face and I found in the tomb passage? Obviously, these two groups of tomb robbers are not the same group.

I asked again, but the old man said he was not clear about this point.I speculated that for some reason, the figures were guarding the old house and the ancient tomb under the old house, and all those who approached were eliminated.Those two villagers were like this. The group of tomb robbers that Poker-Face and I discovered probably came to fight after that, so they were also killed by the shadow.Thinking about it this way, maybe that person was the one behind the tragedy of the year.No matter how you think about it, it has something to do with the figure.

I told the old man about my guess, and the old man was noncommittal, but when it came to the figure, the old man was obviously terrified.It had been 30 years since the murder of those two villagers, and nothing strange happened in the village in the past 30 years, including the fact that the mountain was reclaimed later, and people's activities gradually approached the old house, and no one had any accidents.People returned to calm again and downplayed the fears of the past, so even if Poker-Face and I mentioned going to the old house, they only gave some hints and warnings, not sure that we would both die and prepare the coffin.But after tonight, the old man insisted that the figure was formed from the resentment from the mausoleum that Xiangu said, so when he saw the figure tonight, he simply knelt down and waited for death.

The old man's persistence can only explain one thing, and that is the long-lasting existence of the figure.All in all, this figure hovering around the old house has existed for at least forty years. Ordinary people must be over half a hundred years old. It is impossible for the speed and strength of the poker bottle to reach such a high level. Maybe the figure is not alone. But how many generations?This is not certain, everything now is just speculation.

The old man has talked so much, and I have sorted out the context of the story between the village and the old house, but all this is still the superficial part, the real core is the ancient tomb and the figure, and to understand this part, obviously Going to explore the ancient tomb that doesn't know what dynasty it is is already on the line.

There is another very important character in the whole story, that is Xiangu. Unfortunately, when I asked about Xiangu, the old man said that she had passed away. Now there are probably no more than five people in the village who know the whole story.

The old man was frightened a lot in the middle of the night, and was forced by me and Poker Ping to tell a story all morning, saying that he was not well, so I quickly served the old man to drink some hot soup and rest, but the old man was still not at ease. The two of us, I have been exhorted and asked not to go to the old house, let alone enter the ancient tomb.

We both agreed on the surface, but we both decided in our hearts that this fight is bound to fail.

After noon, Poker-Face and I watched over the old man and finally woke up. Seeing that he was fine, we left. This time the old man sent us out with only exhaustion on his face, and he murmured for a long time before letting us go.After we left, I called the fourth child to let him come back to visit the old man when he was free, so as not to have any sequelae.Of course I didn't mention what happened, it was also decided with the old man, I just said that the old man was lonely alone, and the fourth child married a wife and brought it back to see.

Poker-Face and I went back to the city smoothly and found a hotel to stay in. Not long after we lay down, Xiaohua called. He had already prepared the equipment for us, and the person who will bring the things will contact me tomorrow.I couldn't help but sigh in admiration, Boss Xie's quick and efficient handling is really reliable.

Xiaohua listened to me for a while and acted like a good boy, then suddenly scolded me angrily, basically saying that I was doing nothing but messing around, and wanted to dig the soil again when I was full.

I don't know if you are in a bad mood after losing the stock, so I joked: "What kind of tone are you talking about, my aunt is irregular again?"

Xiao Hua snorted coldly, I could see him rolling his eyes.

"Wu Xie, I despise you." Xiaohua then said this.

I cursed secretly, thinking that it is so quiet at night, the phone will leak the sound, you know, Poker Fever sleeps next to me, don't you know, I usually despise me and I didn't stop, now let Poker Fate hear How embarrassing I am, I despise going back and I am embarrassed to use your things after all.

As I was grinding my teeth, Xiao Hua said again: "For a couple to spend their honeymoon, even if they are in China, they have to choose a 5A-level scenic spot. You two are lucky. You have to go to the village to dig holes. Hurry up and come to Beijing. You are indispensable for the family money. "

I subconsciously took a look at Poker-Face, and Poker-Face's face turned black.

But I'm speechless, he's making so much fucking sense.

Xiaohua is still talking, and the more she talks, the more unreliable she is. I suspect he did it on purpose.

I hurriedly pressed the phone and smirked at Pollen Youfeng: "He forgot to take his medicine."
