"Uncle Ciwang, what are you doing?" I asked doubtfully.
"Those who are hanged here are looking for scapegoats. Don't look at it. If you meet its eyes, you will be hooked and buried with you." Uncle Ciwang said seriously.
I just thought that Uncle Ciwang was talking about strange folk customs, so I threw his hand away and said with a smile: "Uncle Ciwang. Although science sometimes cannot explain everything, we can't be scared away by such superstitious legends.
So brave."
I raised my head and glanced at the branch of the tree, which was covered with white flowers. It looked like a person was really hanging. His hair was disheveled, his neck was stretched out, and his tongue was sticking out. There was only a faint firelight coming from all around. If I were alone, I would see such a scene.
, I’m afraid I won’t be scared to death, but also paralyzed with fear.
However, Ciwang did not agree with my opinion. He slapped me on the forehead and continued to insist: "You are really shameless, I told you not to read nonsense. This place does not tolerate nonsense."
I don't want to argue with him, but I feel sorry for this girl who died in vain. I heard that there is a custom of committing suicide for love in the Kham area, but it is really pitiful to see her hanging here alone. I don't know which village she is from and why she committed suicide.
I asked Uncle Ciwang for a dagger and wanted to put the person down. He stepped back and refused me decisively, saying seriously: "You can't do this kind of thing. Look at her hanging here alone. Maybe she was raped by her lover."
Liar. If you interfere, you will be entangled and end up miserable. Besides, if her family can't find her, they will naturally look for someone else. Our custom here is that the corpse will not be buried unless it is a close relative, and the ghost will not be killed unless it is a lonely soul. We are here
It's better for you to get used to other people's places."
I couldn't get around him, so I had to agree not to ask about the matter, so I urged him to leave quickly, "Okay, okay, I don't care, why don't you? We two grown men are standing under a hanged female body, and we don't know."
I don’t know what to think?”
Uncle Tsewang saw that there was no sign of Tenzin anywhere, and he was unwilling to stay here for a long time.
"Okay, now that the sky is bright, the militiamen in the village should withdraw and rest. Let's search twice more. If there is nothing, go back to the camp and have a look." Ciwang said.
"good."
While I was searching, I was wondering where Tenzin could hide if he was crazy and sick. Moreover, he repeatedly yelled not to eat, not to eat. Could it be that this guy ended up like this because he ate too much river food?
I shook my head and told myself to forget this ridiculous idea.
The two of them walked around in the forest for another ten minutes, but there was still no sign of Tenzin.
"Uncle Ciwang, it's not an option for us to go around like this. We should follow your previous plan and exit first. Maybe they will go back after going crazy."
Uncle Ciwang had been walking in front of me, but he didn’t react after hearing what I said. I was curious and thought he had found a clue. Unexpectedly, he suddenly turned around and asked blankly: "Why is the sky still there?"
not bright?"
I didn't understand what he meant at first, but when I looked carefully, I saw that the sky was slowly starting to light up just now, but now it was pitch black everywhere, as if I had returned to night.
We both looked at each other and knew that something was wrong.
I slowly raised my head and glanced overhead, and sure enough I saw a white thing hanging in the sky above us.
"It can't be such a coincidence, right?" I was a little surprised.
If people hanged themselves in the same forest in different places, even ghosts would not believe it. After all, they were only ten minutes apart. If that were the case, the chance of suicide by hanging would be too high.
Uncle Ciwang took a breath of cold air, lowered his head to check the footprints on the ground, and then said to me in a deep voice: "We have never been to this place before, she...she is following us."
My neck lit up at his words, and I couldn't help but shift my gaze to the hanging female corpse. The shoes under her feet were long gone, and the soles of her feet were covered with mud. When I thought of Uncle Ciwang's remarks,
, I don’t know why, but I really imagined that there was a female corpse following us above our heads. She would hang wherever we went, not to mention how scary it was.
"How to do this?" I have ways to deal with zombies, but this is the first time I have encountered such a thing.
"Don't panic," Uncle Ciwang spat into the palm of his hand twice, then he lucked out, lowered his head and whispered silently, "Dear immortals, I didn't mean to offend you when we passed by here. Don't take it offence, this fairy sister. In the future, we will
After we leave the forest, we will naturally spread your true identity everywhere so that future generations can worship us. Every wrongdoer has his own debtor, so please let us go!"
After he finished speaking, his expression changed, and he pointed at the branch and cursed loudly: "You little immoral scoundrel! You have eaten the courage of a dog and blocked your grandpa's way. I have the second master's divine veins to protect the body, and I have General Yue."
Personally passed down the sword!"
As he said that, he actually pulled out the dagger from his waist and gestured in the air. I wanted to laugh when I saw it, but I didn't think it was serious. When I thought about it carefully, their tactics and strategy were very obvious, which was to be polite first and then to attack, and even to coax and deceive.
However, if this female corpse is more willing to take advantage of others than to take advantage of others, then Ciwang becomes so troubled that she becomes angry and floats down to confront us, which will be a serious problem.
Death is the most important thing. If someone really sacrifices his life for love, I will definitely be in awe and will never bother him rashly. But at the moment, I don’t feel the slightest bit guilty about the hanged girl, although things like hanging ghosts are not for me.
It can be regarded as "strange fodder", but if she is ignorant and dares to confront us, then I will not be polite.
Uncle Ciwang talked for a full five or six minutes with a series of national curses that spanned ancient and modern times. When I saw him finally stopping to take a breath, I asked how the effect was. He shook his head and said, "I can't sense it, let's go! See if we can get around it."
Go out this time."
I looked at the dark sky all around and thought it was unreliable. It seemed that this girl might be Tibetan and couldn't understand Chinese. If you greet her with a few words in dialect, she would probably pull her off and bury her on the spot.
Uncle Tsewang was very superstitious and refused to touch the corpse. He said that since there were rules, they had their reasons. The corpses of other relatives were not allowed to be touched.
Helpless, I had no choice but to say: "In that case, let's take another two steps and let's see if she is really following us."
After saying that, I deliberately pulled Uncle Ciwang and ran forward quickly, regardless of running in all directions. The two of them ran non-stop for about ten minutes. They stopped and looked up.
It's really weird, the corpse above our heads is still following us.
"Uncle Ciwang, it seems that this sister is really targeting us."
Looking up, I saw a female corpse hanging on the treetop without any surprise. Seeing that Uncle Ciwang refused to untie her and investigate, I had to come up with a bad idea and said, "How about we go separately?"
"It's his grandma's, I don't believe it, you can still cut it into two pieces!"
As soon as I came up with this idea, Uncle Ciwang immediately showed his big white teeth and said: "Why didn't I think of it? Don't tell me, this idea is weird, but..."
"What time has it been? Don't be stubborn... If this eldest sister really comes down later, whoever can resist it, run away!" I pushed Uncle Wang, and then I went deep into the forest.
, before leaving, I glanced at the top of my head, and the white shadow was still hanging there, like a huge bird.
Uncle Ciwang said "be careful" and ran in the opposite direction. Because I didn't know why this ghost trapped us here, I didn't have any idea.
"Although the enemy is mourning and demanding his life, as the saying goes, there is an enemy and there is a debtor. Sister, you don't go to the enemy, but you have to embarrass us two passers-by. Isn't it too unreasonable?" I thought to myself.
Cursed.
After walking for a while, I felt that my feet were getting softer and softer, and my breathing slowly became difficult. Counting the time, it was already dawn, but the surroundings were still dark, as if smeared with a layer of black ink.
Apparently, that thing followed me.
When I looked up, sure enough, the ghost was hanging three feet above my head, and I could pull her off just by raising my hand.
Even though I clearly remembered Uncle Ciwang's repeated warnings not to touch the corpse unless I was close, my hands and feet just wouldn't obey. Looking at the female corpse hanging alone in the forest and following us for a long time, I always felt that something was wrong with her.
Want to find someone to help.
"No matter, let's take it off first." So, he reached out and grabbed her cold leg.
At first, I just tried it without putting much force on my hands. I didn't expect that the body was like a kite with a broken string, and it fell down without saying a word.
I was so frightened that I couldn't pick her up or not, so I had no choice but to give her a hand. The body had been hanging there for an unknown amount of time, and it was as stiff as a dried meat.
I carefully placed her on the ground. Hanging her was no different than other people. Her neck was stretched out and her tongue was turned out. It was an ugly way to die. Thinking about the girl who was as beautiful as a flower during her lifetime,
If she had known that she would end up like this after death, she would probably be upset to death.
But at this moment, her soul has dispersed, and it is my business to be upset.
"What should I do now, bury it on the spot, or pretend I didn't see it?" I hesitated for a while, but when I saw that nothing happened around me, I slowly felt relieved.
I couldn't help but think that Ciwang's remarks just now were all alarmist. But there were so many weird things at this moment that I didn't dare to blame. I looked at the female corpse on the ground. Although there was no suspicion of corpse transformation at the moment, there was no guarantee that something wouldn't happen soon.
Moth.
"It's better to do less than to do more. It's not a good thing. It's better to leave first." Thinking about this, I didn't want to stay for a long time, so I placed the body under the tree, bowed, turned around and walked away.
However, before I could even take two steps, my ankle felt heavy as if it had been filled with cement.
I lowered my head and took a look. I didn't know when the body had been turned over, with its back facing the sky and its hands facing up. One of the hands was like an iron hook, firmly clasped around my ankle.
The hairs on my body suddenly stood up. Without caring about the importance of the dead and women's rights, I raised my other foot and kicked her hard on the back of the head. Although this blow was heavy, it had no effect.
The hand on my foot didn't loosen even a moment.
"What's going on?" I saw the female corpse lying motionless on the ground, as if everything had nothing to do with her. Although she didn't jump to hurt anyone, the psychological shock of just lying there was not that strong.
Anyone caught by a dead man for no reason would be frightened half to death.
I couldn't even get away after being kicked several times, my energy was dampened, and I didn't know what to do for a while. I had to squat down and go check on the body.
"I checked just now. The body was so stiff that it was impossible to bend the finger joints. How could it move in such a blink of an eye?" I took a deep breath and pried off her hand. It was as hard as a pair of iron pliers, and I couldn't even move it half an inch.
Disaster.
"Sister, although I don't know if you can understand Chinese, I will discuss it with you politely. If you have anything to say, let's let it go first, okay?" In line with the concept of the dead being the most important, I don't want to ruin other people's lives.
