Chapter 34 Weird
The moon hangs in the sky, getting brighter and brighter.
I ran all the way and shouted the name of Fatty Ma, but no one responded.
The village is not big, with only a dozen families, but the distance is slightly scattered. In less than ten minutes, it has run all over, and still hasn't found any trace of Fat Ma.
Out of the village, the front is to the Minjiang River, and the other three sides are full of mountains and forests.
I was slumsed in place and soon chased forward.
The clay figurine has been following me all the time.
Finally, I ran to the edge of the Minjiang River, but it was also empty. Looking at the river, it was still silent.
At this time, I couldn't help looking at the river. I seemed to hear the song again, but I didn't see anyone, and the hair on my back couldn't help standing up, which was too strange.
The clay figurine stood behind me and didn't say anything.
After standing by the river for a few minutes, I quickly ran to the village. The clay figurine shouted my name behind me, and I replied, "Go back and have a look first."
We ran back again, and it took us more than an hour to go back and forth.
When I returned to the village house, I saw three people surrounded by the fire, as if chatting.
I walked over slowly.
Fat Ma laughed and said nonsense. I settled down and shouted, "Fat man, is that you?"
"Sun, come here and I'll introduce someone to you," I hurried over, and the clay figurine followed.
I was relieved to see that Fatty Ma was fine.
After I sat down with the clay figurine, I only saw an unkempt beggar-like person sitting and couldn't see his face clearly.
Second brother Jiang is also here.
I asked, "Second brother, did you find him?"
Second Brother Jiang shook his head and said, "No, I just came back."
Well... I haven't spoken yet.
Fat Ma said, "Where did you go just now? I wanted to go into the room to call you, but after entering, there was no one. I thought you were eaten by ghosts!"
"Come on, let me introduce you," Fatty Ma said articulately, "This is Uncle Li, the village head of this village and a doctor. I went to the mountain to collect medicine a few days ago. No wonder I didn't see anyone!"
The clay figurine stared at Fatty Ma.
Fat Ma said disgustedly, "Mian, what are you looking at me?"
The clay figurine replied, "I'm afraid that you will be fascinated by ghosts."
Fat Ma immediately poohed and scolded, "You crow mouth, can't you think about me better?"
The clay figurine replied, "I think so! Just the little thing you did."
I told them not to quarrel and said to the unkempt humane, "Is it Village Chief Li?"
He nodded and said, "I'm right."
Fat Ma interrupted and said with a smile, "Uncle Li is very good. Sun, just call him Uncle Li directly."
I looked at Fatty Ma in surprise.
At this time, Jiang Erge also raised his head and looked at Fatty Ma.
Fat Ma said, "Why are you all looking at me!"
I withdrew my eyes, the clay figurine coughed a few times, and Jiang Erge lowered his head again.
I tentatively said, "How many years has Uncle Li lived in this village?"
Life has this number, and he stretched out three fingers.
"Thirty years?" I asked.
"Yes!" Uncle Li nodded.
I asked Fatty Ma again, "Fat, where did you meet Uncle Li!"
Fat Ma touched the back of his head and did not talk to him immediately.
Uncle Li interrupted, "When I came back from collecting medicine, I happened to meet Brother Ma."
I stared at him and suddenly felt as if I had seen you somewhere, so I asked, "Have I seen you somewhere, Uncle Li?"
Uncle Li coughed a few times, "Impossible! You must be wrong. I haven't left this village for decades.
I made a sound.
Suddenly, Fatty Ma said, "I was just blowing, and then I was in a hurry to pee... and then..."
It's gone! I thought to myself that sooner or later, I saw that the mud man's hand had pressed on Uncle Li's shoulder.
But Uncle Li immediately pulled away and ran into the mountains and forests.
At this time, Fatty Ma recovered and shouted, "It was that bastard who knocked me unconscious." After saying that, he chased after him.
Brother Jiang no longer hesitates. The clay figurine has run out of some steps.
Fat Ma chased and scolded me and dared to bully me. I think you are tired of living.
The clay figurine's speed was very fast and quickly got along with him. Originally, he thought he would be very powerful, but he didn't expect that he would be subdued without three moves under the clay figurine.
Fat Ma came forward and kicked him and scolded, "What medicine did you give me just now!" Say it quickly!"
I stopped Fatty Ma, then found a rope to tie him up and escort him to the fire.
I asked, "Who the hell are you?"
"It hurts... it hurts..." he shouted.
"Stop talking nonsense, be careful that I will ruin you," Fatty Ma scolded. Hearing Ma Pangzi's words, he stopped shouting.
I looked carefully at his appearance. He was indeed 50 or 60 years old. I thought he was the boatman before! It seems that I made a mistake.
"I'm an ordinary person!" Uncle Li said.
Fat Ma said, "How dare you argue," and gave it to him fiercely.
He shouted in pain.
We are all surprised that a 50 or 60-year-old man would shout like a child.
"What are you pretending? I didn't force it at all," said Fatty Ma, laughing and actually laughing.
Looking at Fatty Ma's smile, I can't believe that he didn't force him.
I asked Fatty Ma to restrain himself and asked, "Try it quickly, or you will suffer!"
He cursed in a low voice, and then said, "I didn't expect that there were so many people among you, otherwise I wouldn't have appeared!"
"What do you say?" The clay figurine asked.
He said, "It's true that I have lived here for 30 years!"
"How dare you lie!" Fat Ma said aggressively.
"No, this sentence is absolutely true!" Uncle Li's voice trembled.
"Let him go on," I said. Fatty Ma had to retreat aside.
He continued, "I came to this village 30 years ago. Thirty years ago, there was no one in this village!" His voice still seemed to be crying.
I was secretly surprised.
"Why have you lived here for 30 years and not leave here?" I asked.
"This can't be said," he replied quickly.
Fat Ma exerted pressure again, and the clay man hurriedly stopped him.
He cried, "Even if you kill me, I won't say it."
"Why?" I asked.
"Because I said, I will die faster!"
It seems that he won't force him.
I asked Jiang Erge, "Is he the person you said you met before?"
Second Brother Jiang spit out two words decisively: "No!" Suddenly, my heart sank and asked Uncle Li, "Is there anyone else here?"
His head shook as hard as a rattle.
"No?"
"No," he said firmly. I have lived here alone for 30 years and have never seen a second person here.
I almost asked, and I looked at the mud man.
The clay fig man asked, "Do you think there was no one in this village 30 years ago?"
"Yes," he said.
"Did you come to this village alone?" The clay figurine continued to ask.
It can't be said that he is still keeping his mouth shut.
Fat Ma was anxious and scolded, "It seems that you have to be serious," he said, touching the knife around his waist.
He kept watching Fatty Ma's movements. When he saw Fatty Ma touch the knife, his pupils obviously contracted.
Fat Ma took out his knife, and the cold light flashed against the firelight. Do you say or not?" Fatty Ma asked.
He was shocked and said, "I can't say..."
"Hmm?" With that, Fatty Ma took a step forward.
"You wait for me to finish," he said.
"What do you want to say? Come on, or you can only talk to the Lord of Hell later," Fatty Ma threatened.
He continued, "Although I can't say it, I can tell you a story!"
Fat Ma immediately laughed and patted him on the shoulder and said, "It's your acquaintance!"
The clay figurine and I also looked at each other and smiled.
He seemed to be brewing emotions. After a while, he slowly said, "Thirty years ago, a team of merchants passed through here, and then took root here. No one knew the reason. At that time..." He seemed to be meditating, then folded his fingers and said, "There were ten people, nine men and one woman. At that time, this village There are still people in it!"
I couldn't help interrupting him and said, "Didn't you say that there was no one in this village 30 years ago?"
He slurred a little, and then covered it up with a sentence: "I'm just telling a story."
I was speechless for a moment, so I had to let him continue talking.
He adjusted his voice and continued: "After the ten of them came here, they moved in. They were very enthusiastic. At that time, the village was poor, but with their help, it gradually got better.
One day, they gathered all the people in the village and asked, you still thought that you didn't want to make more money, and who didn't want to make more money, so everyone thought about it.
Then they said the matter. At first, everyone didn't want to, but then they encouraged and agreed. After that, the villagers became richer and renovated their new houses one after another, but no one moved out.
Later, things still developed like this, and the village became richer and richer, so it was published in newspapers. I forgot the name of the article, but I still remember the name of the newspaper. It seems to be called Sichuan Morning Post. After going to the newspaper, more people heard the news, but strangely, all the people in the village disappeared overnight, and no one knew where they had gone," he said with a faint smile. After a while, he actually shouted, "It's a curse. Everyone in the village died overnight!"
"What curse, what the hell is going on in this village?" I asked.
He seemed to be out of control and began to shout and run away.
Fat Ma caught him when he saw this.
But the next second, he suddenly fell to the ground.
Fat Ma shouted, "Don't pretend to be dead!" The clay man hurried forward to try his breath and said in a low voice, "Dead..."
