Liu Luoguo told me that in the primeval forests of northern Yunnan, stories about mountain gods have been circulating since the Republic of China.
The surrounding residents not only built temples and monuments for it, but also asked some people who had seen it with their own eyes to draw portraits and carve statues and often come to offer it during festivals.
I couldn't help but curiously asked him, why do you believe this woman is a mountain god so much?
Liu Luoguo rolled his eyes at me and said, "Since the Republic of China, someone has painted her portrait, and others have seen it since then. What kind of person do you think can survive from that time to now?"
I smiled awkwardly, which was true.
There is still a lot of evidence from the Republic of China to the present, and some people have even seen it with their own eyes. This is definitely true.
But when I thought about it again, I was confused.
I know that Sister Bai is a spirit who has become a spirit, but I can't figure out how she can become the mountain god of this primitive forest?
A profession like mountain god, which sounds a bit nihilistic, is not so easy to become.
Besides, she's just a monster...
At this time, Liu Luoguo was holding the photo, looking at it thoughtfully, slowly raising his head to look at me, and said seriously, "If you come here to find her, I want to find her with you!"
I frowned and asked, "Why?"
The matter of coming to see Sister Bai is inherently full of uncertainty due to her identity.
In addition, Liu Luoguo is a hunter. Although he saved me, I don't know what he wanted to do with Sister Bai.
If he wants to hurt Sister Bai, then I won't even have a chance to regret it.
Liu Luoguo considered it for a moment and said in a deep voice, "In our northern Yunnan area, there has always been a rumor that the mountain god protects the forest. As a local, there is no one who doesn't want to see her. Even my father has met her, so I I also want to meet..."
I was speechless for a moment.
This reason should be considered appropriate, and it is indeed quite appropriate.
But when it comes out of my mouth, it always sounds weird.
After much deliberation, I finally agreed and said that when I went to the forest, I would ask him to come with me.
I said I asked him to come with me, but actually I had my own little thoughts.
After all, Liu Luoguo has this weird horn in his hand. If he encounters something weird like his second uncle again, he can help a lot.
...
After resting for a night, I asked Liu Luoguo for directions and took Zhang Xuan directly back to Su Ya's house.
As soon as she entered the door, her father Su Dazhuang looked strangely nervous.
He stood up suddenly, picked up the sickle next to him, stared at me closely, and asked, "Are you a human or a ghost?"
I was stunned for a moment, not understanding why he asked.
"Of course I'm human, uncle, do you think we look like ghosts?"
Su Dazhuang didn't speak, but still looked me up and down with vigilant eyes, and finally put down the sickle in his hand.
Seeing his appearance, I couldn't help but ask, "By the way, why are you asking me whether I am a human or a ghost?"
"No...it's nothing." Su Dazhuang shook his head slowly, with a serious look on his face. After sitting back by the fire pit, he said, "This matter is a bit complicated. You should have seen those things when you went to the mass grave last night. If you can come back alive, you are lucky."
I nodded, it was indeed a blessing!
I had never seen such a weird place before coming here, or even heard of it.
Su Dazhuang said in a deep voice, "The things in the mass graves are very strange. Many villagers have become similar to your second uncle since they went somewhere. They become a little crazy during the day, and at night... follow ghosts Same!"
"So many villagers? Are there others who have become like my second uncle?" I couldn't help but ask.
Su Dazhuang nodded.
It is said that since the second uncle became like this, some villagers will enter the mass graves inexplicably in the future, and then they will be exactly like the second uncle, and they will become weird.
And all of this started when the second uncle changed.
My heart sank.
No wonder there were so many people behind my second uncle last night. It turned out that these were not hallucinations, but real villagers.
The changes in the villagers started because of the second uncle.
The second uncle became like this because of his wife and children.
In the final analysis, the most suspicious persons in all of this are the second aunt and the child.
Thinking of this, I couldn't help but recall the woman I saw yesterday.
Judging from the appearance of the other party and the way he gets along with his second uncle, there doesn't seem to be anything impressive about him.
But the more this happens, the more I feel that the other person is hiding it deeply.
Sudden!
Su Dazhuang stood up suddenly and said solemnly, "Oh no, you came back alive last night. The things in the mass grave must not be convinced, and they will definitely come to your door tonight!"
"Wha...what?" I froze on the spot.
It would be troublesome to come to your door.
With this dilapidated little house, and the fact that there were two women in the house who knew nothing, it was impossible to stop them!
Su Dazhuang's breathing gradually became faster and his eyes turned red. He took my hand and said seriously, "Boy, you should take Su Ya and your friends out of here now. I'm afraid we won't be able to hide tonight!"
I shook my head decisively and refused.
Su Dazhuang is Su Ya's father, let's not say whether Su Ya will agree with this opinion.
I just can't get over this hurdle in my mind. It's inappropriate from any angle to ask a middle-aged and elderly person who is over seventy years old to help me block death.
I gradually made a decision in my mind to let Su Ya and Zhang Xuan leave here.
Su Dazhuang and I welcomed my second uncle and those dirty guys together.
It just so happened that I wanted to try and see if, with sufficient preparation, I could get rid of all these ghosts!
But what I didn't expect was that after I told Su Dazhuang this opinion, he quit!
Said it was too dangerous and completely unnecessary.
Also... Su Ya and Zhang Xuan are just two women, they don't know anything, they need a man to watch over them all the time.
But at this moment, Su Ya suddenly rushed into the room.
He stepped forward and took my hand and said, "No, I don't agree. We all have to leave together. If we don't leave, we all will stay!"
"Su Ya, be obedient. You can't act recklessly at this moment." Before I could speak, Su Dazhuang's face darkened and he said in a persuasive tone.
Su Ya looked at Su Dazhuang, shook her head slowly, with a stubborn look on her face, "Dad, if you don't leave, I won't leave either. My second uncle killed my mother, and I can't let him kill you!"
Su Dazhuang fell silent after hearing this, and sat back by the fire pit, smoking a dry cigarette in a muffled voice.
After a while, he finally said, "Since you don't want to leave, let's stay and deal with him. It's almost time to settle some of the grievances. Lu Ming, your boy specializes in this line of work. You are better than a farmer like me." Han knows a lot, just tell us what we need to prepare, and we will do it according to your method!"
I paused, not expecting that he would suddenly believe me.
"You don't need many things, just the usual fragrant wax paper candles, a rooster, a black dog, and it would be even better if you can have Zhuyang grass!"
