Seeing that I was puzzled, the uncle also told me about it.
This is an old thing that happened decades ago. As a local, my uncle heard it from his family.
At that time, my uncle was only in his early ten years, and the construction of the Western Region was far from what it is now. The road surface was sandy and dirt, and there were potholes every time it rained.
I remember when my uncle was a child, cars were still rare items. People in villages and towns had to take donkey carts or horse-drawn carriages if they wanted to go to the county seat or do business in the county.
In places like the Western Region, there are very few pedestrians and sparse population, resulting in hordes of wild animals. In addition, the distance between villages and towns is not close. For the sake of safety, people will travel in groups. Few people dare to walk alone or in two people in the wild. .
The incident also happened on this road. I heard from the uncle that the first person to have an accident was a pregnant woman.
As we all know, you are pregnant in ten months, and when it comes to giving birth, you can’t tell whether it will be day or night. If it is day, it will be better, but if it is night, it will be worse.
At that time, there were villages near this road that were inhabited by people, and the pregnant woman was going to give birth at night.
In those days, it was not the same as now. Pregnant women had to send their babies to the hospital to deliver their babies. Firstly, there was no money, and secondly, transportation was inconvenient. They had to go to the hospital in a donkey and carriage, and they had to die on the way?
There are midwives in every village, and this village is no exception. The family invited a local midwife to deliver the baby to the woman.
At that time, conditions were backward and giving birth to a child was a matter of near-death. However, the family was very lucky and the child was born smoothly.
Originally!
The arrival of a child is something that everyone welcomes, and the host family also gave the midwife a thick red envelope as a thank you.
However, the small village is located in the wilderness, and there are no villages around it. Pregnant women will bleed during labor and delivery, and it will not take long after the child is born.
It was autumn at that time, and some wild beasts needed to store fat for the winter in order to hibernate. In addition, wild beasts often appeared at night.
I don't know if that family was unlucky, but a huge wild bear followed the smell of blood and found it.
At that time, even my mother-in-law didn't have time to leave.
The wild bear stood at the door, imitating human imitation, and knocked on the door.
At that time, not only cars, but also electric lights were rare items in the city, let alone in the countryside where supplies were scarce.
The lamp was a kerosene lamp, which did not bring much light. Therefore, people in the house could only see a vague outline of a human figure through the window.
Originally, the story of wild bears knocking on the door has long been circulated in the village. Everyone knows this. In villages where bears are present, if there is a knock on the door in the middle of the night, they will ask who it is. If that person answers, they will open the door. , if you don’t speak, you must not open the door.
Perhaps that family had just given birth to a son, and they were silent in their joy. They were so happy that they just ignored the matter.
The male host opened the door, but as soon as he opened it, he saw a wild bear nearly three meters tall, standing upright at the door.
Brown bears are generally just over two meters long, and it is rare to see a brown bear that is three meters tall.
The moment the male owner saw the brown bear, he was frightened and hurriedly tried to close the open door.
But the wild bear finally managed to trick the door open, so how could he let him close it again?
The result...there is no doubt that if a wild bear breaks into the house, the people in the house will not be spared.
Even the baby, who had just been born and was only ten minutes old, was buried in the bear's mouth.
The family's screams echoed through the peaceful village.
The people in the village were very united and knew what had happened when they heard the family's screams. However, when the villagers organized people to come to the rescue.
When they arrived at the place, the wild bear had already left. When they saw the scene in the house, they all turned pale with fear.
Bears are very cruel to eat people. Unlike tigers and wild wolves, which bite people's throats before eating them, bears eat them alive.
They deliberately did not eat the vital parts. A living person would watch the bear tearing apart his own skin and flesh bit by bit. The pain and fear could not be described in words or words at all.
Among the people in the house, except for the newly born baby, who was bitten to death, the rest of the people had only one breath left when the villagers arrived.
But it was impossible to rescue them because the adults in the house had their stomachs disemboweled and almost all their limbs missing.
The ground was dyed blood red, like Shura Hell...
These were a few human lives, which attracted special attention from the patrol. At that time, hundreds of people were dispatched to try to kill the wild bear.
However, who knows, the wild bear was not killed, but several people who went to hunt the bears were killed.
This also angered the local patrol house, and more manpower was deployed, but the wild bear seemed to disappear in this area.
No matter how hard I searched, I couldn't find any trace of it.
But then people were killed one after another on this road, and everyone knew that it had not left, but they could never find it...
The village located here was abandoned due to the presence of wild bears.
As time went by, the houses could no longer withstand the ravages of wind and snow, and they all collapsed, leaving only the slightest sign that anyone had lived there.
The story is just that.
After listening to the uncle's vivid narration, I was also very scared.
This thing is more vicious than a horse-riding ghost, and the ghost will kill people without eating them alive.
But... the fact is as the uncle said, after so many years, that wild bear must have died of old age long ago.
We didn't go out that day, but at the end of the day, no search and rescue people came to find us.
The old lady in gray clothes didn't come out of the house until evening, and she also brought a pot of meat for us to eat.
I still didn't dare to eat it. I ate some bread and ham sausages that I brought with me and got over it.
At night we returned to the house and started to sleep.
When I was sleeping until midnight, I felt a little pain in my stomach. Maybe I caught a cold while eating.
Holding the sword, I quietly left the room. I originally wanted to go to the bathroom, but when I came to the living room, I noticed that the door of the old lady in gray was open.
Where had she been in the middle of the night?
I didn't think much about it at the time, because my stomach hurt so bad. If a grown-up pooped his pants, why would he be laughed to death?
When I opened the closed door, the cold wind howled, which made me shiver several times. I endured the cold wind, went out to use the toilet, and hurriedly got back into the house.
While warming myself by the fire, I noticed that the open door was closed.
I didn't think much about it. Maybe someone wanted to go out for a walk, which was normal.
After warming his body, he got back into bed, hugged Lin Xueling's soft body, and continued to sleep.
After falling asleep, I was woken up by several screams the next day.
When the five people in the room heard the scream, they all hurriedly got off the bed and walked quickly towards the direction of the sound.
There were screams outside. When we came out, several people had gathered outside. One of the girls was so frightened that she was shaking all over, and another girl was comforting her.
I looked at one place, which was a small shed, a shed for raising livestock.
There were no livestock inside, but there was a man lying on the trough. His clothes were torn apart, and his skin and flesh were eaten into disarray by wild beasts.
The flesh on the limbs was almost gone, leaving only the chest and cheeks undamaged.
The uncle next to him immediately widened his eyes when he saw this man's tragic death.
"Ah! He, he was, killed by a bear."
"Uncle, don't talk nonsense. This is a house. The wild bear is too courageous. How could he dare to come here to kill people?"
After the uncle finished speaking, a young man hurriedly retorted.
But several of the locals were killed by bears just like what the uncle said...
