Volume 2: Hundred Ghosts, Chapter 67: Nightmare (Part 2)(1/2)
"Take her away! Quick!"
Following the leader's greeting, the others not only took sticks but also took out a rope as thick as a thumb from their waists.
Looking at this posture, it looks very much like herding pigs onto the bed during the Chinese New Year.
No matter how hard she tried on her own, whether it was grabbing or scratching, she was helpless when facing these men, let alone yelling and hitting them with a stick.
The stick fell on her body and she grinned in pain, it was so painful.
But even so, facing their ferocious attitudes, she still remained neither humble nor arrogant. She stubbornly raised her head and glared at them fiercely.
Perhaps because she was frightened by those eyes, someone suggested that she should poke her eyes out.
Some people think it is feasible and ask others for their opinions.
At this time, another person came forward to give advice. He said that her eyes were a symbol of bad luck. What if she was cursed? Or she should cover them.
So he pulled off a piece of red cloth from his shoulders and wrapped it around her eyes so that she couldn't see.
No one had any objections.
Then he suggested leaving quickly, otherwise the way back at night would be difficult.
She was blindfolded and felt angry. She didn't know where these people were taking her, and she felt scared, but she was tied tightly from head to toe, and she had no strength left to resist.
They tied her up and carried her out of the village. There were festive firecrackers on both sides of the street. She heard many people cursing, and there was laughter in the scolding.
It's very strange, obviously they were not like this at the beginning.
In the crowd, a girl was also crowded in the crowd. Seeing the girl being carried away by the men, she was so anxious that she picked her nails and even drew blood.
I saw a girl coming over.
Just as she was about to go out, she was suddenly grabbed by a man from behind, and then was taken away by the man with extremely rough movements.
She also seemed to sense something. She looked around with her eyes covered, but in the end she couldn't see anything.
All traces were lost in the crowd.
It's dusk outside now, and the sun hangs on the mountainside, showing signs of danger.
Along the winding mountain road, a few strong men made a big circle and finally found the dead man's cave that the village chief mentioned.
"Are there any wild beasts here?" someone asked.
"There are wolves that have been around recently. It's best to be careful. If you encounter one, you won't eat them until they've left bones and scraps.
"I heard that that thing can bite off your carotid artery in one bite!" Someone threatened him, and he saw a resentful expression on his face.
A few people laughed.
I really don’t know what there is to be afraid of. If you have been outside, you will feel squeamish when you come back.
After the banter, they followed the village chief's instructions and found a two-meter-long iron chain in the cave.
They want to tie her here and leave her to fend for herself.
She felt frightened when she heard the clanking sound of the chains. She struggled instinctively, but was slapped hard by someone.
She counterattacked subconsciously, biting the man's arm and leaving a tooth mark.
"Are you rushing to kowtow to the King of Hell?" The man still wanted to take action, but luckily he was stopped by others.
"Let's go, don't meet her, just treat it like a mad dog bitten and let her fend for herself here!"
The man helped her because he didn't want to stay in this cave anymore. The cave was very deep. The deeper you went in, the darker and damper it became, and there was also a pungent smell.
He had not been back to the village for long, but he had stayed outside for the longest time. This cave had existed as long as he could remember.
The reason why it is called the Dead Man's Cave is because during the war in the past, the bodies of those who died had no place to bury them, so they dug a hole and threw them all into it.
The building was built very high, so the cave was dug very deep so that more bodies could be put in it.
However, this is a saying spread in the village.
Every time it rains heavily, many skulls will be brought out by the rain, so when he was a child, he believed in this story and was afraid of coming here.
Seeing that he was so timid, those people began to laugh at him again, saying that he was smelly.
After I finished laughing, I started urging again because it was already dark.
Several people held her down at the same time, and then put the end of the chain on her ankle. This one was locked and she couldn't remove it by herself.
Feeling the coldness hanging on her feet, she screamed in horror and waved her hands randomly.
The men let her go.
She suddenly took off the red cloth, and when she saw those people walking outside, she ran after them, but before they had run far, she suddenly stopped.
Then she fell to the ground. The ground was uneven and there were pebbles, and her mouth was full of blood.
Standing up, those men kept laughing and laughing when they saw her like this. While laughing, they walked down the mountain along the way they came, leaving her alone in the cave screaming.
"Ouch!"
There was a sudden howl of a wolf, and several people walking down the mountain stopped in their tracks.
"Hey... aren't there really wild wolves there?" the man asked uncertainly.
"You're stupid. That's just right. The long-term pain is worse than the short-term pain. It's not bad to be eaten by a wolf." Someone hammered the man and at the same time motioned for the others to leave quickly.
If the wolves are not full, it would be bad to follow the smell of blood to find them.
"But... it's a human life after all..." The man muttered softly, and his movements suddenly stopped.
The bitten man became angry, "Damn! Your grandma wants to die, right?".
He pushed him to the ground.
Seeing the man sitting on the ground, he was still frightened. The man next to him was also angry and laughed and cursed: "You bastard, why do you think you locked her up there? Instead of letting her wait to die, do you want her to retire there?"
"But the village chief just wanted us to throw her into a cave, lock her up, and let her fend for herself." The man still wanted to argue.
The bitten man finally couldn't help laughing.
"Haha, what the village chief meant, I said, if you don't have anything to eat or drink, what will happen if you don't just wait for death?"
The others also laughed.
"Hungry...starved to death?"
The man was confused. He thought the only way to survive was to let her stay there alone. As for food, he thought someone would go up the mountain to bring her some from time to time.
Not to the point of killing him.
He wanted to ask, but saw everyone's eyes changed, and everyone looked at him in silence.
"This is the rule of Tongzi Village. Anyone who brings bad luck to the village should die!" He whispered this sentence softly.
Seeing that the man was still sitting on the ground, he pulled him up again and said, "Go back to the village. You are from Tongzi Village. Regarding Tongzi Village, you have lived here since you were a child. You should know some things better than anyone else. You understand."
?"
The man looked at the other people tremblingly, their expressions were full of solemnity, and their faces became ugly.
"Well, I understand." The man had an illusion that if he didn't answer, he would never be able to get out of the mountain.
Several people burst into laughter.
"Haha, from now on, you will officially become a member of the Children's Village."
Their laughter sounded even scarier than the howl of wolves from a distance.
She stayed alone in the cave. There was no light and it was completely dark. When the sound of wolves howling sounded, she looked warily at the source of the sound coming from outside the cave.
This is a wild wolf, with both gray and black colors on its forehead and head.
There are deep and shallow.
But she probably couldn't distinguish its color, and in her eyes they were all gray.
Its limbs are slender and its feet are wide. It can make a dull sound when pressed on the ground. Its ears stand high and its face is arched, revealing a mouth full of teeth.
It was slowly approaching her. Compared with other wolves, this wolf was on the thin side and looked like it had been hungry for several days.
The front paw was injured, and a few centimeters of wire was pierced into the sole of the foot. It must have been done by the hunters.
According to her, it was mostly the villagers.
"Eat me." She said, looking at the wolf with a calm face.
She was indeed scared, but dying in the wolf's belly would at least give it a good meal, otherwise she would starve to death in the end.
"If I starve to death and you come to eat me again, maybe it won't be fresh anymore."
She was still a girl, with bright eyes and a ferocious face. The wolf slowly approached, but suddenly stopped its expression and stretched out its claws towards her.
"You want me to take it out for you?"
She saw the wolf nodded. It was a psychic wolf and it didn't seem to intend to eat her.
She saw that the wires pierced into its flesh had turned black and there was pus around it. It seemed that it was in great pain that it had to seek help from her.
She actually didn't understand why it did this.
