Chapter 4 Chapter 3 White-faced aunt: a strange bird with a woman's face

In the evening, we finally came to the foot of Qinglong Mountain hidden on the other bank of the ancient ferry. A small road extends upward from the bottom of the mountain. The small road goes straight up, winding like a long snake. It forks on the mountainside, and one continues to extend to Qinglong Mountain, and finally turns over Qinglong Mountain, and other mountain roads on the other side of the mountain. connected together. The other one is to go around a banyan forest on the mountainside and enter the hinterland of the entire old mountain. There is no single household on the mountain, and all of them are full of evergreen plants such as green pines and cypresses. There is a righteous village built in the place.

Both sides of the road are looming in the dense bushes, and occasionally they are touched by some nocturnal things, making rustling sounds, which makes people feel extraordinarily gloomy when walking on them. "His grandma's, how could this Yizhuang be built in such a place where birds don't shit?" Chen Jianguo raised his head, looking at the dark mountain road ahead, and said dejectedly. For San Fatty, his body type is really not suitable for walking this two-finger-wide mountain path. "This Yizhuang was built a long time ago. As for why it was built here, no one knows. However, when you go up the mountain, you better talk less, so as not to provoke unnecessary things. Shuanzi said with a sigh.

"What? Is there anything weird on this mountain?" I asked Shuanzi, no one came to this place on weekdays, and every time they talked about Qinglong Mountain Yizhuang, the old people in Gudukou would hesitate to speak, as if there was some taboo. However, whenever there is a problem that cannot be solved, the general old village party secretary will go to the mountain to ask for advice, and every time after returning from Yizhuang, the problems in the ancient ferry can be solved quickly. This Yizhuang always carries a complex emotion of respect and awe.This will make the Qinglong Mountain where Yizhuang is located a verbal taboo, and usually dare not talk too deeply about Yizhuang.

"I can't say this well. Anyway, the old people in the village say that there are some evils on this mountain. If you talk nonsense, you may encounter some strange things." Shuanzi muttered. "Richita's ancestors are strict, you didn't say it earlier, the old village party secretary sent us up to Shouyi Village with bad intentions. Grandma, didn't he just steal two of his eggs and stew an old hen, Is there a need to be so narrow-minded?" The third fat man cried out strangely when he heard this. "Fuck you, don't talk nonsense. To be precise, there are too many dead people buried on this mountain in the past, so there are some unclean things. It's very weird and weird, but as long as you don't talk nonsense, there is basically no problem. Didn't you see, are the people who sent food up the mountain all right?" Seeing Chen Jianguo scolding her own father, Xiaomei hurriedly defended her.

At the same time, the little girl rolled her eyes and gave the third fat man a hard look. "In this way, this place is really not very clean. It's better for everyone to go up the mountain and talk less, especially fat people, keep your mouths in check." I was also a little surprised in my heart, and I knew that this place was a bit unusual, so I told everyone. However, everyone didn't have too much worry in their hearts. After all, it's not that no one has entered the mountain before, and they haven't heard of any major incidents.The old village party secretary wouldn't want the lives of me and the third fat man just for a few eggs!

"Aww..." An old ape's mournful cry came, the sound was very sad, it resounded in the desolate forest and the silent valley, sad and sad, it lasted for a long time. "Damn it! It's really evil here." Hearing the sad and mournful cry, the third fat man Chen Jianguo couldn't help shrinking his neck, and cursed in a low voice. "Where did the sound of the ape come from?" I asked Xiaomei beside me. "I don't know. I haven't heard that there are apes and other animals near Qinglong Mountain!" Xiaomei was obviously very puzzled. Seeing her puzzled expression, for some reason, my heart skipped a beat again.

... Under the cover of the deep night, the sky is full of bright moonlight!Along the winding path among the rocks, a group of people worked hard to walk up the mountain. Through the cover of branches and branches, the steep rocks and dense forests on both sides of the path look even more weird and unpredictable! "Jie Jie..." A few dead vines entwined on the old tree, two or three old crows full of death breath were struggling to flap their black wings, their hoarse voice was full of sorrow. "Why do I feel that this place is so ominous..." Looking at the surrounding scene, I suddenly felt a chill down my back.

"No, it's okay, I don't believe Fat Lord, there are any unclean things in this hellish place. Not to mention there are no more, even if there are, Fat Lord and my two hundred catties are not just for food. Sit down and kill me..." The third fat man also said very stubbornly, just looking at the movement of his neck shrinking, he knew that this kid was somewhat guilty. "Let's talk less! Just be careful!" Shuan Zi said nonuo, while leading the way and continuing to walk up the mountain. "Puchi". The bushes beside the road were swayed by the arch, and then there was a strange cry, and an old black cat jumped out.

The old cat was thin and bony, but it was surprisingly big. It stared at us fiercely with a pair of green eyes, and it was not afraid of people. It disappeared into the grass and disappeared. "Hiss." Before taking a few steps, we smelled a strange stench. Through the cover of dense branches, several people were shocked to find that a big white snake with the thickness of an adult's calf was entangled tightly with a red core. On the body of an old raccoon. The yellow raccoon was so old that even his fur was about to fall off. He struggled in pain, and soon died of suffocation and was swallowed into the python's belly.The white snake turned its head, glanced at our direction, then slowly crawled out, and swam towards the black cliffs in the distance...

At this moment, Xiaomei who was standing by the side suddenly exclaimed, let out a female-specific scream, and jumped up. "What's wrong?" "What happened?" ... The three of us were shocked, thinking that something had happened, we quickly turned our heads to look at Meizi who was panicking and yelling. "call out." The moment we turned our heads, we saw a red light flying out from the pile of dead branches where she was standing just now, and burrowed into the black cliff beside her. Although it was only for a short moment, with the help of the light from the kerosene lamp in our hands, we could still see clearly that it was a centipede, more than a foot long, as thick as a thumb, covered with a maroon carapace, two The barb-like molars are huge and obviously very poisonous!

"Damn it, this centipede has become a sperm!" "How did it grow so long?" The three fat men could barely close their mouths. This is a centipede that has obviously grown into a climate. It is really scary enough to grow so big. "Here, why, how come there are so many creatures that the folks regard as ominous..." Several people felt that this place was a bit weird. Whether it was crows, black old cats, yellow skins, white snakes, or giant centipedes, they were all very evil things in folklore. They both bode badly. When we approached the fork in the middle of the mountain, the disturbing and weird atmosphere became more intense. On the way, we also passed a mass grave with densely packed graves, which made people feel even more frightened. "Woooo..." An extremely sharp female cry sounded out, the voice was extremely shrill, and it was especially piercing in the dead silence of the mountainside. Everyone was startled and turned their heads one after another, looking in the direction of the voice. Just less than five feet away from a deep black ravine, there is a dry old pagoda tree with a crooked neck, its branches are twisted, and half of it seems to have been charred and charred by lightning. There are many black shadows. Twisted like a demon with teeth and claws. On a dry branch, there was a strange bird with a pitch-black body squatting on it, a pair of reddish-brown eyeballs stared at us and the group, as indifferent as death from hell, and the shrill cry was like a woman crying That's what it sends out. "My god. What kind of bird is this?" The third fat man was surprised, and after a while, he popped out such a sentence. The one standing on the dead tree branch is actually a night owl, also known as an owl, but it looks very strange.She is covered in pitch-black feathers, with a big and wide head, a short beak, and the feathers around her eyes are radiating. The arrangement of fine feathers forms a face plate, and in the middle is an "oily white face", resembling the face of a pale woman with rouge and powder. At first glance, I thought this thing had a human face. This thing is huge, half a meter high, and its body is as black as ink. Especially its cry is as eerie and desolate as a ghost in the dark night. It is even more terrifying when paired with the old dead tree. "My dear, this place is so fucking evil!" The third fat man was taken aback, and couldn't help scolding his mother immediately. I felt more and more wrong in my heart, and nodded in sympathy. Shuanzi at the side turned pale, and couldn't help but tremblingly said: "This, this is the white-faced aunt." "Baby-faced aunt?" The third fat man and I looked puzzled. "There is a kind of wild hawthorn tree on Qinglong Mountain. It will grow and mature at this time of year, and the green fruit it bears is bitter and astringent. But this kind of white-faced aunt likes to eat this kind of wild hawthorn very much. Every summer and autumn equinox, it will fly Come and peck at it, and when the green fruit is eaten, it will fly away again." Seeing that we don't understand, Shuanzi explained again. "I heard from the old man in the village that the cry of this white-faced aunt is a bad omen and an ominous omen. It can take away people's lives and souls, so let's go quickly. If we don't go, it will be too late... Legend has it that everyone People who have been howled by the white-faced aunt don't live long." Xiaomei also added a few words on the side. "Flipped." The white-faced aunt suddenly gave a sinister laugh, fluttered its black wings, and flew away from the dead branch of the old tree.Just a white thing fell from its mouth and landed at my feet. I looked down, and my heart skipped a beat. It seemed, it seemed to be a piece of withered and yellow human finger bone. "Fatty, why do I feel that I came to the wrong place this time? I have a bad feeling." The third fat man couldn't help muttering. Before he could speak, a gust of cold wind suddenly blew in the woods behind him, and everyone's goosebumps rose. When they looked back, they felt as if they were immersed in the ice cave. Under the black night, a figure with long hair on his body flashed past, heading deeper in the direction of the black cliff, and disappeared in the blink of an eye. "Something has been following us?!" I was taken aback. "Fuck, what is that?" The third fat man also looked shocked. Shuanzi and Xiaomei were even more pale. Everything around seemed to be calm again. The white-faced aunt and the figures who had been following us all disappeared. The Qinglong Mountain under the entire night became quiet again, as if nothing had happened. It's just that an indescribable panic has spread in everyone's hearts. "Everyone, be careful, go up the mountain first, and don't fall behind." I tried my best to stay calm and told everyone to be careful.
