Chapter 13 Chapter 12: Tail Maiden Sacrifice

"Why are there so many dead sparrows? Are you poisoned by pesticides?" Li Nuoyi was stupid, and it took several minutes to react. She murmured: "That's not right, Liluo Village only grows fences, and fences never use pesticides. If someone poisons them, how large an area would it take to kill so many sparrows!" "No poisoning." I picked up a sparrow again, checked it and judged: "I only know that the thunderstorm weather will scare the sparrows to death in the trees. This is also the source of the proverb 'scar the sparrow's guts'. But the weather was good last night Quite, no thunderstorms."

We both couldn't figure it out, the corpses of sparrows all over the forest were slightly weird.The creatures of the forest are silent, which is not normal in broad daylight. "You said, could it be a curse? Grandpa's soul lamp went out last night, that, so..." Li Nuoyi thought of something and said.She exuded intense fear. "No matter what the reason is, this place is definitely not suitable for camping. Let's change the location." I couldn't explain the cause of the sparrow's death, and I also vaguely felt that some mysterious force in Liluo Village might be at work.

"En!" Li Nuoyi nodded. The two of us neatly packed up the camping equipment buried in the pile of sparrows and threw them into the off-road vehicle in the parking lot. "I'm not at ease, Ah Ye, let's go back to Grandpa's yard and have a look." Li Nuoyi gave me a hand, and said again hesitantly. "Alright, I'm about to go to the mourning hall to check to see if there are any missing details." I agreed. The two then walked towards the old house again. Before entering the yard, I heard a burst of screams, the yard was noisy, and the screams of panic kept ringing one after another.

"What happened?" Li Nuoyi and I looked at each other, and ran towards the courtyard quickly.I saw chefs and handymen busy cooking and making open-air meals in the courtyard, not knowing what they were doing. Just when I was confused, Li Nuoyi also cried out in horror. Following her panic, a headless chicken ran over.It was running around the yard alive and kicking. The chicken was supposed to be a male, with a big belly, white meat exposed, and the head was removed, leaving only a long, bare neck, from which blood kept gushing out. Tens of thousands of sparrows died inexplicably just now, and now there are chickens that should have died running around arrogantly... I don't know how to deal with it at all. There are more and more weird phenomena in this fenced village. After only one day, it seems to have arrived in a world with different rules.

Everyone in the yard was terrified. Li Nuoyi hugged my arm tightly in fear, "A Ye, how could the dead chickens run all over the yard?" "Maybe it's because of reflexes, some animals will live for a while after losing their heads." I said with a dull face, in fact, I didn't believe that nonsense. There are animals that can survive for a short time without their heads, but definitely not birds or mammals.Birds or mammals that have lost their brains, no matter how powerful their vitality is, will at most twitch a few times from time to time. Minutes had passed and a mass of supposedly dead chicken was still raging in the yard.Some people in this village are very superstitious. Thinking of the recent mysterious death of the Fox family, they simply knelt on the ground and prayed for the protection of their ancestors.

Everyone in the messy yard was panicking.At this moment, Yin Yang from Liluo Village came in, his expression changed drastically when he saw the scene inside, he snorted coldly, walked up to the fleeing plucking chicken a few steps, grabbed its legs, and pulled it to the ground. He raised it: "Things, it seems that something is wrong." As the eldest member of the Li family, the second uncle of the Li family naturally has to follow behind Yin Yang.He was terrified when he saw the scene of the dead chicken running around. "Yinyang, this, could this be a curse from the Fox family, who came to Li's house?" Yin Yang's expression was cloudy, "I don't know, this has never happened in the village. I want to go back and check the handwriting of Yin Yang in the past dynasties." Let's see if there is a similar situation in history. However, there must be something wrong with Mr. Li's funeral."

"How could it be! Could it be that we will all die inexplicably like the Fox family?" The second uncle's legs gave way and he almost fell to the ground. "I can't tell exactly what went wrong and how to fix it." Yin Yang sighed and said with a headache: "Continue to watch the night according to the rules tonight. I will quickly check the previous handwriting to see if there is any hope to resolve it." It is obvious to the outside world that these words are liars slaughtering sheep, but now that I hear them, the taste has changed, and I can't think of laughing at ignorance.Superstition in quite a few areas is caused by backwardness. People with underdeveloped technology will regard many phenomena of nature as ghosts and spirits.

But what happened in Liluo Village now is not supernatural.I almost believe in the yin and yang nonsense myself, let alone the old and young of the Li family who are in panic. Li Nuoyi felt that since returning to her hometown, she had always felt powerless.Not physically but feeling that his own strength could not resist the curse that appeared strangely. She leaned her soft body against me weakly, and said softly, "Aye, what is the curse spreading in Liluo Village? I'm getting more and more confused." "Don't think about it so much, it will make it clear." I put my arm around her shoulders.

"But I don't want to drag you into it!" She raised her head. "I've been drawn into it." "I'm sorry, I'm capricious. You must come and pretend to be my fiancé." Li Nuoyi's tone was very low, "But I'm really happy that you can come." "Actually, I want to know what deal you reached with the guardian girl." I tried to make fun of it, but it didn't work out. "Before I die, I will definitely tell you." She shook her head, and her tone suddenly became firm: "A Ye, promise me one thing." "What's the matter?" "Don't ask, anyway, you must promise me."

Tears flashed in her eyes, "It's just a small request, please be sure to satisfy me. In this life, I will only ask you for this." Seeing her fearful and serious expression, I finally nodded, "Okay, I promise you." "thanks." She smiled relievedly, "No matter what happens in Liluo Village or how many people die. Even if I die, revenge is not allowed. After all, it is a supernatural thing, who knows if you will be cursed too, feel Dangerous, please abandon me and run away!" I was about to shake my head when she already tapped my lips with her index finger, "You just promised me, man and man, you must keep your word."

Li Nuoyi wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, and pulled me out, "Okay, let's not talk about these sad things, it's like a romantic drama. Let's take a walk in the village and find a place to camp again. " At this moment, there was a deafening sound from the distant gate.Everyone in the yard was alarmed. They had just calmed down from the turmoil of the dead chickens running around. When they heard something happened, they flocked towards the gate. The unexpected situation interrupted the communication between Li Nuoyi and me, and I secretly breathed a sigh of relief.My feelings are actually very fragile, and the seemingly strong appearance is actually only a thin shell. Although I am used to seeing life and death, I am still afraid of the scene of familiar people dying in front of my eyes.What Li Nuoyi said just now was so desolate and desperate, which made me feel very uncomfortable. Following in the crowd to the gate, I saw that the entire gate was knocked and distorted.The instigator was a yellow Lamborghini sports car.I don't know how fast it hit the thick door. The front of the car was almost destroyed. Even a two-meter-long brick wall was also knocked down, and the whole thing hit the roof even if there were no people inside. Died on the first impact, and is probably crushed by the wall now! "It's my daughter's car!" The second uncle's eyes were about to protrude, "Hurry up and save someone!" Everyone moved the bricks on the roof of the car, and the roof had collapsed, and people could see through the broken window. Li Li was bleeding from the seven holes. Someone went over to take her pulse, shook his head and said, "Dead." I observed it myself, Li Li's face was full of surprise and fear before she died, as if she had seen something unbelievable. "Aye, look." Lenoira took my hand and pointed to a corner not far from the car that was covered by bricks.There was something pressed in that corner, like a woman in green pants and red dress... I hurried up to push away the few bricks that were holding her down, only to realize that it was not a person, nor was there more than one person.There are two paper-stitched people, a man and a woman, with stiff expressions that make people feel creepy.There is also a "two" mark painted on the face. "This is a paper puppet from my second uncle's house. Why are they here?" Li Nuoyi was stunned, "Yesterday I clearly saw that they were still placed in Grandpa's yard." "Who knows, it must not have been brought by Li Li when she left last night." I can't explain why the paper piercing man appeared at the gate, but I feel that Li Li's expression before she died seemed to indicate something. She was driving so fast, could it be that she was running away?But last night she left Peach House very early, and she hasn't shown up for such a long time.When she was seen again, her car crashed into the gate and her people were dead. Is this really normal?Very abnormal! "My daughter, dead, dead!" The second uncle knelt on the ground crying. Due to the death of his daughter, the second uncle of the Li family was extremely sad, and he grabbed Yin Yang's neckline in pain, "What's going on, why did my daughter hit the gate in broad daylight? Don't lie to me, the curse of the Fox family is Didn't it already reach Li's family!" Li Jia and Li Yuan were also mixed in the crowd, seeing the tragic death of their cousin, both of them turned pale with fright at the same time. Yin Yang is still calm, "Do as you said just now, and continue to watch according to the rules tonight. I will check the handbooks of the past to find a solution. You don't want to die, do you?" It had no choice but to be like this. Fortunately, there were no other strange phenomena during the rest of the day, and the day passed like this.At night, the first generation of the Li family went into the Peach House to watch the night.The rest quickly dispersed. Li Nuoyi and I searched several forests, and without exception, we found that none of the sparrow's corpses could be found. What's even more strange is that, in less than eight hours, the sparrow's corpse actually made an astonishing sound. The stench of corpses is unbearable. The two of us had no choice but to drive the off-road vehicle to a relatively open place, lock the door, and turn on the air conditioner to make do for the night.Others could smell the stench, but everyone deliberately ignored it and kept silent. Early the next morning, around 7:45, a villager knocked on the window of the car, waking us up who had finally fallen asleep after a day and night. "Yin Yang wants everyone to gather at the gate of Li's old house, hurry up, there is an emergency." That person knows. So Li Nuoyi and I simply cleaned up and rushed to the old house of Mr. Li.When they arrived, many people had already gathered, not only the Li family, but even the entire Liluo Village. "Things are bad." Seeing that the people came at about the same time, Yin Yang said, "I checked the manuscripts of the past dynasties, and found that the taboos in the village have not been obeyed several times, that's why the curse appeared." "Many people in Liluo Village who just died couldn't find their way back, so they took revenge on their blood relatives. If it is not resolved, not to mention the Li family, even all the people in Liluo Village who have no blood relationship with them will die. " Looking at the Li family and the villagers who were too frightened to speak, he explained the solution word by word, "Fortunately, the matter was discovered immediately. The remedy is not very difficult, that is, to bury it as soon as possible." The bones of old man Li, and then use the tail girl as a sacrifice!" "Wei girl? Sacrifice?" Li Nuoyi and I were stunned for a moment, feeling an ominous premonition in our hearts. There was also commotion among the villagers, and they became chaotic. "Be quiet. Sacrifice is the only way." Yin Yang narrowed his eyes and pointed at Li Nuoyi, "This girl is the first girl selected by the Li family. According to the handbook, the girl used for sacrifice is different from the girl used for funeral. They must be under 22 years old, and at the same time Possesses the blood of the Li family and the Hu family. In the current situation, the only one who meets the conditions is her." "Yes, but there is no need to sacrifice." A villager protested feebly. "Then you can come up with another way? Everyone knows what happened in Liluo Village recently. Whoever wants to die inexplicably next should stand up. I'll try to replace Li Nuoyi with her." Before Yin Yang could speak, the Li family's second uncle had already shouted excitedly. Being able to get rid of the person with the most equity in the company, eliminate the curse, and save his own life is simply an excellent situation where he can kill three birds with one stone. He doesn't want such a good thing to slip away, and everyone in the Li family may also Glad to hear about it. It was related to their own life and death, and no one dared to speak again. "What is the sacrifice?" I asked urgently. Li Nuoyi's face turned pale, "I don't know, I've never heard of it before. I only know that the tail girl will sit on the coffin for the funeral, and this is the first time I've heard the term "buried with her". In short, it must not be a good thing!" "Damn, I know it's not a good thing by looking at the expressions of the people around me. It seems like I'm going to do my best." My hand quietly reached into my pocket, ready to take out the pistol. Suddenly there was a gunshot, and a bullet hit my foot. The villagers and I were shocked at the same time. Wu Shengze came out from behind me with a shotgun emitting green smoke in his hand. He still had that honest and honest look on his face. Get that gun out." He pointed the muzzle of the black hole at me and ordered a man beside him. I obediently raised my hand and let that guy grope around me for a while. "Brother, I didn't find anything." He spread his hands helplessly. "It must be on him. It's just hidden. Take off his coat." Wu Shengze judged. His subordinates simply pulled the coat off my body and put it on himself, "Cut, this kid is still wearing a famous brand. It really is a good deal to be a handsome boy. It is easier to earn money than farming." Seeing that I was subdued, Yin Yang stopped hesitating immediately, "Arrest the man. Tie the tail girl to the coffin!" Li Nuoyi and I were both caught and tied up with ropes. Zongzi.The villagers stuffed Mr. Li's body into the coffin, sealed it with coffin nails, and put the burning soul-inducing lamp on the coffin lid before lifting it up. In many cases, human beings are actually crazy creatures. In order to survive, they will not hesitate to sacrifice the lives of others. Although this inferiority is essentially a kind of natural selection, but now they are trapped It was me who was imprisoned, of course I felt a different feeling. I was tied next to the coffin-carrying sedan chair, not far from Li Nuoyi who was on the coffin with the soul lamp.She looked at me with big beautiful eyes, and suddenly yelled something that almost made me fall, "My fiancé and I have done everything, and we are no longer virgins. There is no use in sacrificing me!" Another lie , It's really embarrassing. But the words immediately had an effect, and some villagers really doubted, "Can impure women also offer sacrifices? According to those movies and TV shows, the offerings used for sacrifices should be very pure." Yinyang replied unhurriedly: "The handwriting of Yinyang in Liluo Village in the past did not mention whether or not the tail girl used for sacrifice needs to be a virgin. Since it didn't mention it, it definitely doesn't matter. Let's go early, it's getting dark It’s not going to be good!” Li Nuoyi was very unwilling, “It’s okay to sacrifice me, let Aye go first. It’s none of his business, why should I be pawned together with him? Sacrifice?" "You think we are all stupid, if you let that kid go, what should he do if he goes out to call the police?" The second uncle snorted coldly, "Don't worry, we will naturally deal with him after you die, and we won't cause him too much pain !" "Asshole, you guys..." Before she finished speaking, she was interrupted by the second uncle, "Where is there so much nonsense, it hurts the ear. You go and gag her." Li Yuan, who was beside him, walked over gleefully, and while stuffing Li Nuoyi's mouth with his rot, he whispered triumphantly: "Originally, to deal with you this time, I have already prepared a killer move. It seems that there is no I need it. My good cousin, go away. I will miss you occasionally during the holidays. " Li Nuoyi looked at him angrily. If eyes could kill, they would have killed him thousands of times. Seeing her resentment, I whispered, "Save some energy, maybe there is a chance to turn things around." She trembled all over and relaxed with a wry smile. Under the leadership of Yin Yang, the villagers carrying the coffin walked up the ramp, passed through the huge Li's house, and walked towards the back mountain.As I mentioned before, Liluo Village is a shallow hill, and Li’s house is built on the top of the shallow hill, but the further I walked, the observation I had just entered the village was completely overturned. After turning over the Li family's mansion, there are shallow hills and uphills. This is a very barren place, and there is an endless pond in front of you.Weeds grow overgrown near the pond, and reed flowers bloom as far as the eye can see. When a gust of wind blows, dandelion-like reed seeds fly up, covering the sky and covering the earth. Some fall into the water, floating quietly on the water surface, and more Many flew far away. This scene is very similar to a scene that Li Nuoyi described to me not long ago.It's just that the scene should have appeared in the weird space pulled into by the curse. Could it be that she was pulled back here at that time?And the source of the curse is really near here?After struggling through the reed fields, the villagers continued on their way.Finally, not long after, Yin Yang raised his hand: "Here we are." There is no need to measure at all. I looked far and wide and easily judged that this place is actually the real top of Liluo Village, and it is also the highest place on the shallow hill.After all, in the distance, you can have a bird's-eye view of dotted houses and scattered fenced fields. But for some reason, when I was in Liluo Village, I couldn't see this area.Although the nature is uncanny, this area gives me a very uncoordinated feeling. The grass on the ground covers all the surface layers, but it can still be vaguely seen from the layout that there are traces of artificial filling here. No, not only that. I was a little surprised that I could still find some traces of the intervention of ancient Feng Shui masters.Could it be that this entire shallow hill is an ancient tomb?No, absolutely impossible!Not to mention the underdeveloped productive forces in ancient times, just to dig out such a huge cemetery in the deep mountains will definitely require the power of the whole country. Even now with heavy excavators, it is not an easy project. At the top of the shallow hill, there is a large hole more than two meters wide. The hole is so cold that it is bitingly cold. If you stand by it for a while, your mouth will turn purple from the cold. Yin Yang is obviously very afraid of this place, but the villagers and even the Li family don't seem to know the existence of this area at all, some people are amazed, some people are extremely panic. "Throw the tail girl and the coffin into the hole." Yin Yang wanted to leave quickly, so he ordered immediately. The ignorant villagers carried it out faithfully. They pulled me away from the coffin, then tied Li Nuoyi tighter to the coffin, and pushed the coffin towards the deep hole little by little. I watched with cold eyes without humming, counting the time silently.There was Wu Shengze staring at me, and the gun was also in the coat. Even if I broke the rope on my body, I couldn't escape. I am afraid that when the coffin falls, it will be the time of our death. However, there is still a chance, but that chance can only be gambled.If you win the bet, you may live, but if you don't win the bet, you will die!The weird opening on the shallow hill was very strange. No grass could survive within five meters around it. The coffin was pushed on the dark gravel ground, making a piercing sound that made the gums itch. Into the hole, and then beyond, half of the coffin hangs in the center of the hole. The villagers behind pushed hard, and the coffin lost its balance and was about to fall. Here's your chance!I kicked away the two absent-minded men who grabbed me, and ran towards the coffin desperately. It was only five meters, and when no one reacted, I jumped up and stuck tightly to Li Nuoyi. The coffin became even more out of balance, and we were both about to fall. "Oops, catch that boy back quickly! We must not let him fall with the tail girl!" Yin Yang's expression changed drastically. "late." I laughed out loud, gripped the coffin with my legs, and sat down hard. The coffin, me, and Li Nuoyi immediately fell into the dark hole.In a blink of an eye, there was no trace anymore!
