not good.
Huizhen and I trembled in our hearts at the same time. Just as we were about to protect the lantern with our coats, a strange wind with a thicker fog came blowing from the mountains. After flickering crazily for a while, the wick completely lost its luster.
"Too bad, the yin energy on this road is so strong that not even a soul-inducing lamp can suppress it!"
Huizhen was the first to let out a low cry, quickly raised her eyes, and soon discovered that there was an extra road under our feet.
How could there be an extra way?
I had a very bad premonition in my heart and turned to look at Qin Ni.
"Sister, you have lived in the mountains for a long time. Do you know which road leads to the town?"
Qin Ni looked confused, and there was a clear cry in her voice, "I don't know, there is only one way out of the village. I have never seen such a fork in the road."
Her words made my heart feel heavy, as if a stone had been weighed down on me, and I had to stop.
The villagers behind didn't understand the situation, so they all urged loudly, "Why don't you leave? Let's go quickly. Why did you stop in a place like this?"
Huizhen shook her head helplessly, shaking the fat on her face and said, "We seem to be lost."
"Lost? How is it possible? I walk this road often, and I can get out even with my eyes closed!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a guy with a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks walked out of the team. He pointed to the fork in the road on the left and said, "Go forward a hundred meters. There is a boundary monument there. As long as you walk out of the boundary monument, you can leave Yama Village."
I half-squinted my eyes and tried to look in the direction he said, and sure enough I found a black boundary monument appearing in the thick fog.
"It's strange, how could this boundary stone be moved here?"
Huizhen also had a puzzled look on her face. We had been out of the village together before, and we knew the road quite well. In the impression, the boundary markers of the village should not have appeared so early, and we had to walk at least two or three miles on the village road before we could completely leave Yama Village.
I touched my chin and said in confusion, "No, this boundary stone has probably been tampered with. It shouldn't be here."
Huizhen also agreed with my judgment and nodded. Just as he was about to say something, the villager with a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks couldn't help it and pushed us hard.
"What are you still hesitating about? Go quickly. It will be safe as long as you step out of the boundary marker."
Huizhen and I looked at each other and said nothing.
These two forked roads appeared too weird. In my impression, there were no forked roads here at all, and it was even less likely that there would be any boundary markers. In addition, the soul-inducing lamp was suddenly extinguished. My intuition told me that this road was weird and I couldn't go any further.
I expressed my inner judgment, but it aroused the disdain of this villager.
"You are so cowardly, and you are still clamoring to take us out of the village. I don't believe this road is really that evil."
After saying this, this guy ignored us and squeezed directly between me and Huizhen, striding towards the boundary stone.
"Chen Bin, what are you doing, come back quickly."
Seeing that he was so disobedient, Father Qin hurriedly called him back, but I stopped him in confusion, shook my head and said, "Forget it, since he wants to walk in front, let him try, let's Let’s talk later.”
Soon everyone’s eyes were fixed on the back of this villager named Chen Bin. He was very fast on his legs and he reached the boundary stone in a short while. He did not forget to turn around and raise his chin to me, and said with a provocative look on his face,
"Look, I told you everything will be fine. As long as we get out of this boundary monument, everyone will be fine... Oh, hold the grass!"
But before he finished speaking, the guy stepped on something, suddenly exclaimed, fell directly under the boundary stone, rolled down the short slope, and disappeared from everyone's sight.
"Chen Bin!"
Father Qin's nervous cheeks were sweating, and he quickly called him. At the same time, the villagers were so frightened that they crowded into a pile, showing extremely frightened expressions. No one dared to run up to check the situation.
Huizhen's cheeks sank, she turned around and preached to the villagers,
"There's something wrong with this boundary marker. Let's go back and forget about the person in front of us."
Compared with Chen Bin who refused to listen to greetings, there were dozens of villagers behind us, and no one dared to take the risk to check whether he was alive or dead.
But just when Huizhen was about to call the villagers to step back, I heard an "ouch" from behind the boundary stone, and then a pair of pale people rested on the boundary stone, revealing a bruised head, and cursed,
"I accidentally slipped just now. It's okay. It's safe behind the boundary marker. Come here quickly."
"Did you kid do this on purpose?"
"Damn, it scared me to death."
Seeing that Chen Bin was okay and even took the initiative to get up and say hello to us, the villagers were all frightened and continued to move forward, dumbfounded.
Only Huizhen seemed to have noticed something, and continued to block the villagers, asking Chen Bin who was lying behind the boundary monument,
"what's wrong with you?"
"What else could have happened? Didn't it just fall? Why are you making such a fuss?"
Chen Bin lowered his head, rested his head on the boundary stone, and responded vaguely, "Hurry up and come here. If it's too late, it'll be too late. The village is full of ghosts, and sooner or later they will be targeting you."
Hearing what he said, Father Qin lost his composure, "Yes, everyone, stop hanging around and hurry up..."
"etc!"
I also saw something was wrong, so I quickly held down Father Qin and turned to look at Chen Bin, who was constantly encouraging the villagers.
"Why don't you stand up?"
Chen Bin still leaned his head on the boundary stone and said in a hoarse voice, "I just fell. My feet hurt and I can't stand up."
"Yeah?"
I half-squinted my eyes and looked at the part below his neck. This guy hid most of his body behind the boundary stone, and only the part above his neck was exposed. At first glance, it looked like he was hanging on the stone. His posture was very strange. .
I continued, "I'm afraid it's not just your feet that hurt, but your head as well?"
Chen Bin looked at me pitifully, "What are you talking about?"
I took a breath, "Your neck is broken, why didn't you notice?"
He was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously lowered his head to look at his neck, but as his forehead drooped, a large bloody hole on the back of his head was revealed. Sticky brain matter mixed with blood came out, and his hair was wet and stuck to his scalp. The back of the neck is covered in blood!
But Chen Bin didn't seem to know that the back of his head had been gouged off, and he was still talking to himself numbly,
"Did my neck fall off? Why didn't I know? Haha, you lied to me..."
"Mom!"
The villagers were all dumbfounded. Looking at the hole on the back of Chen Bin's head that was bigger than the mouth of a bowl, they all turned blue with fear and backed away like a swarm of swarms.
I took a step forward and said sternly, "Chen Bin, you are already dead!"
Chen Bin still maintained his numb look, looking directly at us, and chuckled,
"Am I dead? Oh, I remembered. Something was chewing on the back of my head just now. How could I forget, haha..."
While showing a silly smile, Chen Bin tilted his neck, and his bloody head rolled down from the boundary stone like a basketball.
Only then did I realize that his neck and body had long been separated, leaving only a bloody dead head hanging on the boundary stone and chatting with us for a long time!
