"We saw the coffin at the beginning, and it was obviously your mother that was placed in the coffin."
Su Qingyu remembered that the person lying in the coffin was obviously the old aunt who talked to them at the beginning. The old aunt also told them that they could stay at the Monkey Temple for the night.
Why did he become the former ranger again?
She then thought again, the hands of the female body draped in red cloth were smooth and delicate, like the hands of a young woman, and indeed not as rough as the old aunt's skin.
Bai Huo spoke calmly and said: "When I first carried the coffin, I felt that the coffin was relatively heavy."
"Really?" Su Qingyu didn't feel it.
Bai Huo explained: "Miss Su didn't know something. She was lifting the coffin from the front. I saw that she was a girl and might not be good at physical work, so when she was carrying the coffin from behind, she lowered her hands and let the weight rest on her. rear."
"That's it." Su Qingyu glanced at the evil-minded couple, "There are partitions in the coffin, and there are two corpses inside."
The couple did not expect that Su Qingyu and Bai Huo could come back alive.
When facing such people, reasoning will not work.
Su Qingyu threw away the two-bitten apple, put a fruit knife directly against the face of the heavily made-up woman, and said in an evil tone: "I'm not a good person, you'd better tell everything you know." Speak out, or I will throw you two into the forest to feed the monkeys."
The cold blade was pressed against the woman's face. The woman thought that Su Qingyu was quiet and delicate, and looked like a good student, but she didn't expect that Su Qingyu would use the knife. Her expression immediately changed: "How can you be so unreasonable?"
"Ah, yes, I won't be unreasonable today." Su Qingyu raised her eyebrows and said evilly: "Are you husband and wife loving? I would like to see, if one of you dies, how long will the other one be sad? Ha ha."
And Bai Huo also acted as a peacemaker in a particularly cooperative manner.
"You two, you should tell the truth. This friend of mine has a bad temper and is reckless in anger. If you really make her angry, I can't guarantee that you will still be able to leave alive!"
While Bai Huo was scaring the couple, he pretended to persuade Su Qingyu.
Two people, one is a good person and the other is a bad person, they work together perfectly.
The couple was frightened.
The woman said angrily: "Husband, tell me! They want to inquire! Just tell them! When you die, you won't be able to rest in peace, and you won't be able to blame us!"
Seeing that Su Qingyu's words really didn't sound like a good thing, the man was worried that his wife would really be hurt. He gritted his teeth and said, "Humph! As long as you dare to listen, I dare to speak! After listening, Don’t be afraid.”
Su Qingyu just lowered his eyes and looked at the knife.
The more silent she was, the more uncertain the couple was about her state of mind.
Bai Huo, on the other hand, maintained a polite attitude: "Please tell me."
The man glanced at Su Qingyu and couldn't figure out her attitude. He could only frown and said slowly: "This mountain range is called Monkey God Mountain because of its beautiful environment and the proliferation of wild monkeys in the mountains.
Originally, humans and monkeys lived in harmony. When I was young, I played with monkeys. At that time, the monkeys would swing on trees and pick fruits from the mountains for me to eat.
But later, for some unknown reason, the monkeys suddenly became violent and began to destroy farmland and harm humans.
Fortunately, an old Taoist priest from outside found the oldest and most prestigious monkey in the monkey group near the Monkey God Tree, which was also the legendary Monkey God.
We reached an agreement with the monkey god, and humans will build monkey temples, offer sacrifices, and hold sacrificial activities to calm the anger of the monkeys. Correspondingly, monkeys can no longer break into human homes, steal things, or harm domestic animals and human children.
Monkeys in the mountains like the color red. The first sacrificial activity was just to find a good-looking man and woman, dressed in red, to sing on the altar for the group of monkeys. "
The man was a little tired when he spoke. He took out the thermos cup, drank a sip of water in the cup, calmed down a little, and then continued: "Later, a lot of black-haired monkeys appeared in the mountains, and more and more, those monkeys were very He is violent, can speak human language, and can eat the brains of ordinary monkeys.
This kind of ordinary sacrificial activity cannot satisfy them. The old village chief's original idea was to use human corpses as sacrifices to fool the group of black-haired monkeys. It happened that our village had the custom of ghost marriage. When the coffin was opened, a man and a woman were found. .
For the happiness of the whole village, we can only open the coffin, dig the grave, transport the body to the monkey tree, and offer it as a sacrifice to the monkey.
But if you fool them once or twice, the corpse will no longer work, and those black-haired monkeys must be sacrificed as human beings..."
The man's eyes flickered, as if he couldn't speak any more.
Su Qingyu can take over the rest without a man saying anything.
She said coldly: "The people in your village are afraid of death, so they tricked the outside rangers and asked them to sacrifice on behalf of the people in your village."
It is precisely because the [Monkey God Mountain] dungeon is a two-player dungeon, and the rangers selected for each dungeon are both male and female, which is exactly in line with the requirements of the sacrifice in this village.
The man retorted: "We tried at first to see if we could sacrifice only one woman, but one woman could not appease the monkey god's anger."
Bai Huo was a little confused: "You asked us to carry the coffin, but you didn't ask us to wear red clothes."
"You can't wear red clothes, you can't wear red clothes." The man looked horrified and waved his hands repeatedly, "When those monkeys hadn't turned into black-haired monkeys, they liked the color red.
But he turned into a black-haired monkey and suddenly disliked the color red.
Besides, the red clothes are very fierce, and the evil spirit cannot be suppressed no matter how hard it is. If I put you in red clothes again, you will come back to us. "
I have done too many things that I feel guilty about, and I am most afraid of the knock on the door at night.
"I've said all I need to say, you can let my wife go."
After figuring out the ins and outs of the matter, Su Qingyu put the knife back.
After the woman got rid of Su Qingyu, she immediately got into her husband's arms.
She looked at Su Qingyu and Bai Huo with some resentment: "If our mother hadn't been kind-hearted and let you stay in the Monkey Temple for a night, you would have died long ago. You are helping people in the village to make sacrifices, which is repaying debts. .”
The man patted the back of the woman's head and signaled her to stop talking.
Su Qingyu's voice couldn't tell the difference between happiness and sadness. She said flatly: "It's not safe in the Monkey Temple."
But the powder on the woman's face was piled together. She raised her eyelids and said angrily: "Don't you still have your life? Why is it unsafe? You are talking nonsense in the Monkey Temple, and the Monkey God has heard it. . It was you who should have been punished, but the monkey god punished our mother instead. Have you ever looked carefully at my mother’s body? She even had her tongue pulled out!”
"Stop talking, don't you think there aren't enough people dead in the village? Let's go back and don't talk so much to these outsiders. If the monkey god hears it, we two will have nothing to eat and walk around."
Very few people in this village died well.
As the name of this village goes, death hangs over the heads of these villagers at any time.
The villagers living here always die suddenly and inexplicably for various reasons.
The woman shut up in fear.
The couple ran so fast that they disappeared from sight in a flash.
Bai Huo said with a serious expression: "Miss Su, the source of pollution in this mountain is monkeys. We only need to investigate why the original monkeys turned into black-haired monkeys, and then we can unlock the secret behind this copy."
“The rules say that the ranger’s work permit was lost by the previous ranger, which means that what the couple just said, that the work permit on the ranger’s possession was fake.
They probably wanted to trap us back and let the female corpse covered in red sheets kill us. "
Bai Huo nodded slightly: "The rules are more credible than that couple."
"However, even if the work permit is not on the body of the female corpse, it should still be nearby."
