Yue Guanchao is well aware of the situation, and he will never ask questions that he is not sure about.
Wutuman stopped, his shoulders heaving up and down, and he glanced back a few times with a cold expression: "If you don't speak, no one will treat you as a mute. If you want to survive, just shut up."
"Uncle Wutuman, you were obviously scared when you mentioned the Ghost-faced Mandrill just now. You must have dealt with them before. Otherwise, how could you have recorded the Ghost-faced Mandrill in the page!"
Yue Guanchao seized this point and kept asking questions behind Wu Tuman. The old man glanced at his granddaughter with resentment: "You silly girl, why do you tell outsiders everything? Don't dare to do this again in the future."
Ah Ying nodded timidly: "I understand, I want them to help me find my father and mother."
After hearing this, Wu Tuman frowned, distress flashed in his eyes, and the words on his lips turned into a sigh.
Yue Guanchao saw that the old man had a weakness and continued to provoke him: "Uncle Wu Tuman, you must know clearly what is going on in Wu Coffin Town. A Ying's parents also disappeared from here. You really are not curious at all. ?"
"You talk so much!"
Wutuman, probably tired of being asked, turned around and kicked Yue Guanchao, unable to dodge, and was kicked several meters away.
"Aweng, you promised me not to kill him!"
Ah Ying helped Yue Guanchao and stood in front of him. Wu Tuman restrained his murderous intention and had to give up.
A few people hurried back, and when they returned to the pallet, they found that the place was still the same, with high cliffs and hot fog.
Utuman seemed not to have expected this, and stood on the edge of the cliff with a pale face, without saying a word.
"Where's my map?"
Ah Ying obediently handed him the deerskin map, and Wu Tuman pointed to a few mountains on the map, his eyes as deep as a pool: "The current situation is beyond what an old man like me can handle. Fortunately, I went there when I was young. Let’s go to the other valley and try our luck first.”
When everyone heard that there was still a chance to go out, their eyes lit up. Utuman seemed to have seen through their thoughts and changed the subject:
"But don't be too happy. The mandrills in the town are scary enough. There might be something dirty in those wild woods."
"If other valleys are like this, then all of us, old and young, will have to take root here. I advised you not to come, because you thought I was joking with you!"
Yue Guanchao looked at the old hunter. His words didn't sound like a lie. This town was much scarier than he thought!
…
Gray fog and hazy sky
The group of people traveled through the primitive wild forest outside the town, wading through the dense forest on rich green velvet. The originally dark sky became even darker after being blocked by branches and leaves. Every step they took, they had to worry about whether there were traps.
"Why are there so many birds circling in front of you? Are there wild animals?"
Ah Ying looked ahead and saw a flock of birds circling in the forest, like buzzing flies.
"There might be a real beast!"
The only thing Yue Guanchao could think of was that there were wild animals in the forest, and they didn't dare to go down to look for food.
Wu Tuman snorted coldly: "Go over and take a look, we have to go through the front."
The village heroes carefully raised their spears and led everyone out of the dense forest. The front was slightly open, and a strange manor house lay in front of them.
At this time, the wind was howling in the wild forest, dead leaves were flying all over the sky, weeds were growing on the walls of the courtyard, and birds were circling the house and refused to disperse, which made people feel uneasy.
"Witch Coffin Yizhuang!"
Yue Guanchao looked at the plaque: "Naobantian is the place where corpses are kept. No wonder it looks so penetrating."
A squeak!
Yue Guanchao pushed open the door and walked past a strange screen wall before everyone walked into Yizhuang.
After seeing the scene in the yard clearly, everyone took a few steps back!
This place is not big, just like an ordinary courtyard house. The entire stilt building is built on the north wall. The front of the courtyard is covered with blue bricks, and weeds are already pushing through the stone slabs.
These are commonplace things, but what makes them feel weird are the many wooden stakes stuck in the yard.
On those wooden stakes, without exception, all had dead people tied to them.
Yue Guanchao walked to these corpses and observed them carefully.
Without exception, these corpses are all male corpses. Most of them are wearing buttoned gowns, sheepskin jackets, lantern black trousers, and felt hats on their heads. Their whole bodies are wrapped in blood-stained linen cloth woven with cow head totems, like mummies, only the bare bones are exposed. head.
Their death was extremely cruel. Their limbs were tied into a cross and tied to wooden stakes. Rattans and thorns pierced their flesh, drilled out of their throats and then into their hearts. Their flesh and blood wounds rotted and turned black, and centipede worms were dried on the black skin. Drilling in and out of the flesh.
As I got closer, I could feel the foul smell of blood rushing into my nostrils, making me unable to even open my eyes.
What's even more terrifying is their faces!
Nine layers of thick hemp paper were pasted on the faces of these people. The rough beige paper had been completely soaked with blood, water, and sewage, and the blood marks dried up into prints. Because the hemp paper was all superimposed and laminated, the corpse's face seemed to be wearing a mask. A scary ghost mask with an expression of extreme pain.
Song Siyuan walked next to him and was a little shocked when she saw these corpses for the first time. However, she quickly used her interviewing skills and suppressed her nausea: "The death was very tragic. There must be a reason why these people died in this way!"
Wu Tuman walked forward slowly and took a look at the corpses. Something strange appeared on his face. Song Siyuan noticed the slight change in his mood and asked casually: "Uncle Wu Tuman, do you know these people?"
