Chapter 6 Chapter 6 Dangerous Land

At this time, he was like a poor-quality paper man who was about to be burned at the funeral of a dead person. Wherever he touched it, his skin wrinkled like paper, and then cracked one after another. "Yes...she told me...to touch it. Of course she knew...to know." Ma Zhongchu was out of breath, but he was still speaking clumsily, "Before she...really...really did, I...I don't know...what's going on..." "Hey, I can't blame you, she's not a person, of course you won't notice it. I knew it the first time I saw her. This female ghost is a charming and evil thing." Ma Jinlong gave his godson a hard look. , "I advised you at the time, but you still didn't listen."

Ma Zhongchu lowered his head. "It's over, it's over!" Ma Jinlong slapped his hands hard. "What's wrong?" Ma Zhongchu frowned and looked at his godfather. "Since she lied to you, then your brother-in-law is in danger. Nine times out of ten, your brother-in-law has fallen into the trap of that female ghost! What she said before can't be counted, so what about your brother-in-law I can't get rid of her relationship. It's over! How could I believe her nonsense so easily!" Ma Jinlong walked back and forth anxiously.Ma Zhongchu's head followed him.

"Then...the alcoholic's son and younger brother are also related to this matter?" Ma Zhongchu murmured. Ma Jinlong pointed at him with his index finger and shook it for a long time, and finally choked out a short "Oh——" "What should I do?" Ma Zhongchu looked at his godfather, at a loss. "What else can we do? Master Ma who came from Thrush has already gone back, we have no one else to look for, we can only look for drunkards." Ma Jinlong said, "It's definitely not enough for us alone, we need to find a few more people. Come look for it during the day Is your brother's fat man still here? The big fat man with one cloudy eye?"

Ma Zhongchu thought for a while and replied, "I'm not sure about this." Ma Jinlong shook his head and said: "I don't think so much. Quickly, let's go to the village doctor's house and ask the alcoholic for help. If the two of us stay here, the female ghost will come to the door sooner or later. By then, the two of us We definitely can’t beat her. If we go to a crowded place, maybe she won’t dare to chase after her. Come on, let’s go there quickly.” Ma Zhongchu stood still. "Why don't you go?" Ma Jinlong opened the door latch, and turned to look at the motionless godson suspiciously.

"I think...I think...she shouldn't come to harm us." "why?" "She wanted to kill me... she killed me a long time ago... you... you too." "Are you scared out of your mind?" Ma Jinlong pushed his godson hard, "She didn't harm you before, and even defended you a little bit, because you can still be used by her. She used you to harm the younger brother of the alcoholic And son, the godbrother who hurt you. Now that you know her details, will she still treat you well? " Ma Zhongchu didn't speak. Ma Jinlong grabbed his arm, pulled him out of the house, and hurried to the doctor's house...

"Fool, is this woman pretty?" Ma Chuanxiang asked.The fool nodded and smiled silly. "Do you want it?" Ma Chuanxiang asked.The fool nodded, still smiling foolishly. Ma Chuanxiang tidied up her clothes and said to the fool, "Then come." The fool hesitated. "What's wrong?" Ma Chuanxiang smiled with his mouth slanted. "I'm afraid she will pick up stones and throw them at me." "Hahaha, it's really low to say that you have a low IQ, so why are you unhappy every time I go to your house and talk to your sister-in-law?" Ma Chuanxiang whispered to himself, and then said loudly to the fool "It's okay, don't think she looks more beautiful than any woman you've seen before, but she won't throw stones at you, don't worry. Come, come here, don't be afraid." Ma Chuanxiang waved at the fool.The narrow and lengthy walls echoed, with a strange evocative effect.

The fool walked towards Ma Chuanxiang step by step as if his soul had come out of his body. "Okay, don't be nervous, you treat her like your own wife, and she won't resist. By the way, you haven't had a wife yet, so treat her like other men treat their mother-in-law." Ma Chuanxiang Said to that fool who was drooling, and then looked at the jade body lying beside him with a little pity. "She...why didn't she throw stones at me? She...couldn't be dead, right?" The idiot wiped away the saliva from the corner of his mouth, his eyes wandering. "Dead...?" Ma Chuanxiang obviously didn't expect a fool to ask such a question, and didn't know how to answer for a while.

The fool looked into his eyes and nodded very seriously. "Hey, no! How could I be with her...that, right?" Ma Chuanxiang touched the body of the stunner next to him, raised a white arm like jade, and said, "You Touch it, it’s still hot, look at it, it’s soft and soft, you press it, and the skin is elastic. Have you ever bought pork? If you press it, it will take a long time for the meat to return to its original shape , that’s stale meat; if it pops up quickly when you press it down, it’s fresh.” The fool obediently pressed the beauty's body, and smiled: "I understand this, my brother taught me how to buy meat."

Ma Chuanxiang smiled crookedly, and asked, "Then take a look, is this woman fresh?" The fool's saliva flowed out again, squinting his eyes and nodding like a chicken pecking at rice: "Fresh! Fresh! Very fresh!" Ma Chuanxiang waved his hand and said, "That's good, why are you being polite! Just do what you have to do." Ma Chuanxiang's words seemed to trigger a switch somewhere on the fool.The idiot hastily lowered his head to untie the belt around his waist, and then threw himself on the stunner, humming like a cow plowing in the fields for the first time in spring...

Ma Jinlong took his godson and hurried to the ground in front of the doctor's house. "Human skin!" Ma Zhongchu yelled. Immediately, Ma Jinlong was frightened by his godson's cry. Standing on both feet, his head looked around like a spinning fan: "Where is it? Where is it?" Ma Zhongchu stretched out his hand tremblingly, pointing not far ahead. Ma Jinlong looked in the direction his godson pointed, and after a while, he raised his hand and slapped his godson: "Useless thing, you almost scared me to death! What kind of human skin is that! It's from the small lattice window Lights leaking from inside!"

Ma Zhongchu took a closer look, and it was indeed a light projected on the ground.The layout of the doctor's house is relatively old, and a small lattice window is built above the large window like the house more than ten years ago.In the original house, this was done for ventilation when the rice was stored on the roof, but now it is meaningless to build these small windows. "I think you have been harvested by that female ghost to nourish your yin, so your body is weak and your eyes are not working well." Ma Jinlong glanced at his godson who was a little pale, "When I was singing, the beautiful women I met were not Less than you, but I've never been…” "Oh..." Ma Jinlong's memory was interrupted by a mournful howl. That voice happened to be coming from the doctor's house. "Could it be that the female ghost has chased here?" Ma Jinlong turned pale with shock. Ma Zhongchu rushed into the doctor's house in a hurry.However, he didn't see the scene of the female ghost fighting with several people as he imagined, but only saw a meat ball rolling on the ground, surrounded by several men whose souls had been taken out.The drunkard, the doctor, and that fat man are all here. The fat man was the first to see Ma Zhongchu rushing in.He asked loudly, "Huh? Why are you here?" Ma Zhongchu asked back: "What is that?" He pointed to the rolling meat ball on the ground. Seeing Ma Zhongchu, the doctor replied with a dejected face, "This is the son of an alcoholic. My painkillers are no longer effective." The drunkard squatted aside, completely oblivious to Ma Zhongchu's arrival, and didn't even hear their conversation.There was no previous panic, no previous excitement, and no previous pain on his face.At this moment, his face was like a calm lake, looking at the meat ball in front of him calmly, which was more creepy than the flesh in front of him. Maybe because he heard the conversation of the people inside the room, Ma Jinlong followed in.He was also taken aback by the situation in front of him, and asked in surprise, "How did the drunkard's son become like this?" The barefoot doctor said: "The skin on his body is like lime powder on an old wall, peeling off piece by piece, that's why it became like this. Now it's worse than the alcoholic brother's condition. Maybe it's because the child's resistance is weak... ..." Ma Jinlong glanced at the big fat man behind the doctor, obviously a little doubtful about his existence, but this was not the time to ask him why he was here.The fat man nodded to Ma Jinlong very naturally, as a greeting.Ma Jinlong also nodded politely. "Such a disease is too strange..." The doctor frowned and scratched his arm.A dark red blood stain left on the doctor's arm along his fingers. The doctor was oblivious. According to Ma Zhongchu's later recollection, other people present at the time were all focused on the alcoholic's son, and no one noticed this detail.Although only Ma Zhongchu saw the blood on the doctor's arm, he thought it was blood stained by the doctor when he was treating the alcoholic's son.So Ma Zhongchu didn't take this detail to heart. At this moment, a familiar and slightly hoarse voice sounded outside the house: Ma Zhongchu seemed to be hit by an electric shock, and his whole body was polished like sand grains on his skin.Everyone present froze, listening to the singing that leaked through the window lattice.It was a nursery rhyme that all the children in this place would sing, and Ma Zhongchu couldn't help humming along: The general idea of ​​this nursery rhyme is as clear as the lyrics. "It's Brother Gan's voice!" Ma Zhongchu looked flustered, alternately happy and frightened. Several people hurried out of the house. There was no sign of Ma Chuanxiang outside, only the echoes back and forth between the mountains.Because it was a silent night, the echo seemed very clear. "He's still alive—" Ma Zhongchu held his godfather's hand in surprise, "He's not dead, he's still alive! He has no connection with the wine shop's younger brother and son...I...I'm wrong..." "Boom—" A slap hit Ma Zhongchu's face. "You haven't seen your brother-in-law yet, so you're sure he's fine now? Why doesn't he come back when he's fine? You've already said that your bride is a ghost, and you're still thinking about how to protect her?" Ma Jinlong raised his hand, this slap made his hand burn with pain. Ma Zhongchu covered his face, but didn't show the slightest sign of anger. He blinked and said, "Then...then we can find Brother Gan by following the source of his voice?" "This sound is coming and going, how do you know which direction it is coming from?" The doctor frowned aside. The wine shop was not as negative as the doctor, his head was shaking back and forth like a sunflower being poked, as if he could discern the direction of the sound source from the echo.People around him can understand his feelings, because he still has a little hope for Ma Chuanxiang. The fat man suddenly asked, "Is there a cave in your village?" "Cave?" The gazes of several people focused on the fat man at the same time. The fat man nodded and said, "I drank wine with Ma Chuanxiang several times, and every time I got drunk, I would talk about a cave. He said that all the goods he gave me were obtained from that cave." Ma Jinlong trembled all over, and asked sharply: "Goods? What kind of goods?" The fat man knew he had made a mistake, but it was too late to take it back: "That...that..." Ma Zhongchu saw that the fat man was timid, and guessed that he had something to say, so he said, "Don't be embarrassing, saving lives is the most important thing now. You don't need to say anything, but please tell me about the cave my brother-in-law mentioned." The fat man coughed twice, rubbed his hands, and said, "He said that their village is a place with excellent Fengshui. If you can overlook this place from the sky, you will find that the terrain of this place is very similar to a woman's body. The two A symmetrical mountain is the jade peak of a woman. Behind the two breasts is a rapeseed field, and in front there are orchards and sweet potato fields. The rapeseed field, orchard, sweet potato field and these two jade peaks are connected into one piece, depicting a supine nude Female statue. The rapeseed field is the neck, the fruit forest is the body, and the legs are submerged by a thousand acres of rice fields." The fat man swallowed dryly, and continued: "Once when Ma Chuanxiang was drunk, he mentioned that between his legs, there was a The cave is exactly like a woman's secret part." Those who listened widened their eyes. The fat man hurriedly explained: "It's reasonable that you haven't known about it after living here for so long. Since it's a hidden part, naturally you won't let others know it easily. That's what Ma Chuanxiang told me." "Nonsense! What a bunch of nonsense!" Ma Jinlong blushed and spit and said, "Can you believe this? It's because he drank too much cat urine and talked nonsense!" The big fat man waved his hand and continued: "That's not all. Ma Chuanxiang said that he raised a woman there. This woman is very beautiful. He never told anyone, including his father. He said that his woman was very obedient. , he can do whatever he wants. That woman never resists, she is even better than the woman in the wine shop..." Seeing the drunkard's eyes widen, the fat man stepped back quickly and said in a panic, "This is what Ma Chuanxiang said Yes, I didn't say that. Don't be angry with me." Ma Jinlong stomped his feet and said: "Isn't this just talking nonsense with your eyes open? He must be lying to you. Does he have a wife who can hide it from me? He must be drinking too much cat urine and talking nonsense." The fat man said: "I don't believe it either, but he said it as if there was such a thing. Every time he delivered the goods to me very promptly, he is still a trustworthy person, and I have to..." He He looked at Ma Jinlong in embarrassment. The doctor seemed calmer. Seeing that the fat man stopped talking, he asked, "Is it because he didn't deliver the goods on time this time?" The fat man nodded. The doctor said to Ma Jinlong: "Although this man's words may not be trustworthy, we can try to find the place he said." Several other people nodded quickly. Ma Jinlong's eyes were a little distracted.He calmed down and nodded slowly. They were just about to leave when Ma Jinlong sat down on the threshold.He grabbed Ma Zhongchu's trousers, and said weakly, "Zhongchu, I won't go. You can go for me." The doctor was surprised: "What's wrong with you? Why don't you go?" Ma Jinlong bent his body like a cooked lobster.He shrank his shoulders and said slowly, "I suddenly feel weak all over. Go ahead, I won't go." At the end, he glanced at Ma Zhongchu again, but quickly looked away again. So Ma Jinlong stayed alone. From time to time in the doctor's room came the humming of the alcoholic's brother and son.Ma Jinlong felt a little cold, so he walked into the room with his arms crossed around his shoulders.When he reached the gate, Ma Jinlong raised his head to look at the lintel.In this village, almost every household hangs a round mirror on the lintel of the gate.It is a mirror to exorcise evil spirits, and it is also a mirror to drive away the spirits of deceased relatives.If the spirits of deceased relatives come back because of homesickness, they will see their own terrible appearance in the mirror when they pass through the gate.In this way, it will remember that it is dead, and people and ghosts have different paths, and if it comes back again, it will only scare the younger generation. When Ma Jinlong looked up at the mirror, he seemed to see his own image. He startled himself. After the shock, Ma Jinlong felt ashamed of his shock.He thought to himself: Am I the same as those ghosts who miss their loved ones? As soon as he stepped through the door, Ma Jinlong was startled again, this time the shock was much worse than the one just now.He saw white butterflies all over the hall!Those butterflies fluttered their wings, waiting for his arrival as if they had premeditated.Even if he stepped into the butterfly's territory, the butterflies didn't dodge one after another like normal, but still stayed quietly on the ground, still flapping their wings lightly. Ma Jinlong looked forward and saw the drunkard's younger brother and son wriggling like two earthworms unearthed before the heavy rain.Wherever they squirmed, the white butterflies avoided one after another... In fact, what happened to Ma Zhongchu and others was even more strange. Ma Zhongchu and others searched for a long time at the junction of the fruit forest and the rice field, but found nothing.The doctor was a little discouraged. Originally, he was skeptical of what the fat man said, so he advised the others to go back as soon as possible.Ma Zhongchu still didn't give up, and while poking the overgrown weeds, he said: "We heard Brother Gan's voice just now, he must be nearby. Let's look for a while. He won't come home for no reason. Something that needs help." At this time, even the big fat man was shaken: "Hey, it seems that what Ma Chuanxiang said after drinking can't be taken seriously. But... where did he get so many ancient porcelains?" The drunkard was taken aback, and asked, "Ancient porcelain? You mean, Ma Chuanxiang's business with you is ancient porcelain business?" The fat man was also taken aback, then laughed loudly, and said, "Since I can't find the so-called hole, I might as well tell you now that I am actually a merchant who collects antiques, and Ma Chuanxiang regularly sends me some ancient gadgets." I sold it to me. At first I thought he got it from a tomb robber. Later, while drinking, he told me that there is a geomantic treasure here, and there is a hole in the place where the nude statue is. So I said It is estimated that he discovered a treasure left over from ancient times here. At first I dare not tell you clearly, because I was afraid of causing public anger. Now that the hole that Ma Chuanxiang mentioned is not found, it seems that he obtained the ancient artifact from other channels Yes...he also said that he secretly raised a woman in this place that no one knew about. But, look, there is not even a thatched cottage in this place. How can I raise a woman? It is obvious that Ma Chuanxiang is talking nonsense after drinking I should have believed his father's words earlier. Let's go, let's go." After speaking, he waved his hand, as if trying to drive everyone back home. Following the big fat man's gesture, the doctor jumped up from the rice field and squatted down beside a peach tree. Drunkard and others are about to leave in the same way.Suddenly, the doctor yelled "Ouch", and then shrank his body together. "Hey, what's the matter with you?" Ma Zhongchu asked anxiously.In this barren mountain and wild ridge, if one is alone, goose bumps will definitely arise immediately.Subconsciously, Ma Zhongchu not only didn't go directly to check what happened to the doctor, but turned his head to look behind him. At that moment, he thought it was his bride who chased her out to kill someone.And in the last time, he will be ashamed of this mentality for the rest of his life. "Maybe it's a cat bone spur hanging on my skin. It hurts, it must be hanging in the flesh. Ouch, hiss..." The barefoot doctor showed a painful expression. The drunkard and others were about to help him up, but they were frightened by the doctor's next actions. "What is this?" The barefoot doctor picked up something like a large piece of white cloth, "Why is it so soft? It's still slippery? It's really disgusting." The drunkard and the others were stunned and stood there motionless.The fat man's legs had already started to tremble. Probably due to the darkness of the sky, the doctor couldn't see the expressions of several people clearly. He stretched out his hand and continued to grope around, then picked up another object of similar shape and size, and continued to ask, "Huh? Look, Why is there still here? Could it be moss? The moss is not so soft, nor is it so white? Come on, help me take a look, what is this?" The drunkard swallowed dryly, his arm trembled like a cotton string, he slowly raised it up, pointed at the thing in the barefoot doctor's hand, and slurred his speech as if he was drunk in the past: "Then...then...then Isn't it...not you...your...skin...skin...?" According to the drunkard later, the doctor at that time was like an old mottled stone powder wall, and his skin was like a wall of drums. The drunkard saw the doctor put "lime blocks" one by one from the mottled "wall" Peel it off!The doctor himself didn't realize it, but the alcoholic and the others stared dumbfounded at the dark red spots left on the doctor's body, like bricks exposed where lime fell. In fact, Ma Zhongchu had seen the blood on the doctor's arm before, but at that time he thought it was the blood stained by the doctor when he was treating the alcoholic's son, and he did not expect such a situation to happen next. "My... my skin?" The doctor trembled with fright when he heard the alcoholic's words, and the lumpy thing in his hand fell down like a flying butterfly: "No! No! It's not mine. Skin! If it is, why can't I feel it? How can I not feel pain? No! Absolutely not!" The doctor suddenly became agitated, and he fumbled with his hands. At this time, he was like a poor-quality paper man who was about to be burned at the funeral of a dead person. Wherever he touched it, his skin wrinkled like paper, and then cracked one after another. "Haunted!" Finally the fat man couldn't help but yelled, and ran away. The drunkard and Ma Zhongchu hurriedly followed after hearing what the fat man said.From their point of view, the paper-like person in front of them was obviously no longer the doctor they knew, but a person possessed by a ghost or a phantom transformed by a ghost. "Don't leave me behind!" the doctor wailed, and staggered to his feet. At this moment, he was not much different from the drunkard's younger brother.But just as he got up, he tripped over a broken branch on the ground. But drunkards and the others can't control so much, they only hate that their parents didn't give birth to an extra leg, and they don't care about the direction, they run when they see the road. But they had only run a hundred or so paces when the drunkard stopped suddenly. The fat man thought that the alcoholic was reluctant to leave the doctor behind, so he yanked him hard and said, "Why are you still in a daze? Since he can tear off his own skin, it proves that he is not the doctor we know, maybe he is It was transformed into a flayer." Ma Zhongchu murmured to himself, "Could it be that my bride chased us out and deliberately threatened us?" The drunkard still stood still in a daze.Since they were all running on the narrow field ridge, the fat man and Ma Zhongchu couldn't get around.The fat man said angrily: "Are you scared or stupid? I said that thing can't be a doctor. Why don't you listen to me?" Ma Zhongchu sniffed vigilantly, touched the big fat man lightly, and asked, "Huh? Smell it, why is there a strange smell all of a sudden?" He just touched the gold ring on the big fat man's hand, feeling chilly of. The big fat man turned his head sideways, frowned, sniffed, nodded and said, "Yes, why does it have a strange smell?" He touched the drunkard in front again, and asked, "You also smell this smell?" It smells weird, right? No wonder you want to stop." After finishing speaking, he looked around without waiting for the drunkard to react, trying to distinguish something unusual in the dark sky. "Smells like urine?" Ma Zhongchu said to himself.Ma Zhongchu heard from his godfather when he was young that there seems to be a ghost that smells like urine.Thinking of this, his heart tightened slightly.His first thought was naturally the bride at home.He tried his best to search the memories of the past, but in his memories, apart from the rotten smell of the decayed house and the old sheets, and the strange smell of water from the eaves of the house, it seemed that he had never smelled anything else. smell.And these smells floated in front of his nose immediately with his memories. No, although I have never smelled a similar smell before, it cannot be ruled out that the current smell is not from that woman, Ma Zhongchu thought to himself.Just like that tail, she couldn't find it when she wanted to hide, and appeared rashly when she wanted to show him.Then, the smell is also something she can hide and distribute at will. "Ouch!" The big fat man exclaimed.Ma Zhongchu was called back to the real world by his cry. "What's the matter?" Ma Zhongchu asked hastily, "Why isn't the wine shop leaving?" The big fat man spat, and said, "Damn it, the bartender pissed his pants!" As the big fat man said, he raised his left foot and jumped up and down.Ma Zhongchu leaned over to look, and found that the big fat man's shoe was wet.He looked at the drunkard again, and found that the drunkard's crotch was dripping water.It turned out that the fat man's feet were too close to the alcoholic, and the water from the alcoholic's crotch splashed his feet wet.He also saw that the drunkard's legs were shaking like chaff. "You didn't step on the wires, did you?" The fat man obviously also noticed that the drunkard's legs were shaking violently.The big fat man touched his head. "He...he...how did he run to us...in front of us...in front of us..." the alcoholic said almost choking. "Who? Who ran in front of us?" The fat man stopped touching his head and asked the drunkard.Ma Zhongchu already had a premonition that something bad was about to happen, and his heart jumped into his throat.Although the drunkard hadn't answered the big fat man's words, he had already guessed who the "he" the drunkard was going to say. "Who else..." The alcoholic's legs kept shaking. The fat man was not stupid, and his tongue immediately became a little knotted: "You...don't...don't tell me it's...a doctor..." Ma Zhongchu's scalp went numb for a while. "It's him!" The drunkard yelled, and suddenly turned around, pushing the fat man vigorously with both hands, "Run away!" The legs of the fat man and Ma Zhongchu immediately opened like a spring, and they hurriedly fled in opposite directions.Ma Zhongchu looked back while running.Just now, the drunkard who was stunned blocked the fat man and his sight, so that they didn't notice a bloody man lying directly in front of him.The person whose skin is like a mottled old wall is not the doctor just now?Ma Zhongchu's feet went limp, and he fell to the ground.But he got up immediately and continued to run forward. The drunkard almost used both hands and feet, hunched over and ran after them.Against the background of the dim night, the alcoholic is running wildly in this wilderness like a hare that has become a spirit. After another hundred or so steps, this time it was Ma Zhongchu who stopped suddenly. The fat man pushed and shoved Ma Zhongchu from behind, and urged Ma Zhongchu to run away. But Ma Zhongchu was as motionless as a stone sculpture.The panting of the three people drowned out all the small voices. "It's really bewitched!" Ma Zhongchu was more courageous than the drunkard, and he spoke quite neatly, but he deeply felt the feeling of the drunkard just now who was terrified.Because, at this time, the same thing was lying directly in front of him!At this point, he can only call it "the thing" because he really can't imagine that it is a person.But if it wasn't a person, where was the doctor who was with them just now?But if it was a person, how could it block the two ends of their escape route in a short time?What's more, it's still lying down. Could it run back and forth like a snake? Even if it is a snake, it is impossible to have such a fast speed! "What's the matter? What's the matter? Why don't you run away again? Do you want to wait for that monster to catch up?" The big fat man urged out of breath.His voice was high for a while, and low for a while, which really made people worry that he would choke to death if he didn't catch his breath. Ma Zhongchu turned sideways, grabbed the fat man's shoulder with one hand, and said, "Don't run away, it's already blocked in front of us." "What... what?" The fat man and the drunkard said in unison. "It's over, it seems we can't go anymore." Ma Zhongchu bit his lip and said, stepping back slowly, "It has blocked us here." Ma Zhongchu felt an unprecedented coldness all over his body, as if he had fallen into an extremely deep hole In the ice cave.He felt a strong pressure in his chest and had to work very hard to keep breathing. "The flaying ghost really came to harm me. I didn't believe my godfather's words at first..." Ma Zhongchu squirmed his lips. "No, no. I don't believe in ghosts." The fat man shook his head and said, "Even if there were, it couldn't be so fast..." The big fat man turned back and ran again, and he had to make one last effort. However, the facts were in front of them, and the guy with the peeling skin appeared before their eyes again. "I can't run around like this anymore." The alcoholic rarely expressed his opinion boldly. "Rather than being trapped here to death, it's better to rush once. Maybe this is just a cover-up for the skinner. Just rush over." Ma Zhongchu was about to stop the reckless drunkard, but it was too late, the drunkard had already rushed out.The alcoholic almost wailed and stepped on the back of the peeling guy, and it seemed that he was indeed on the verge of collapse.And the big fat man's eyes were blank, as if the drunkard in front of him was no longer the drunkard he knew, just like the doctor just now suddenly no longer the doctor they knew.Ma Zhongchu set his pace and was ready to follow the drunkard at any time. "Ouch……" It was not a drunkard who yelled. Ma Zhongchu thought he had misheard because of fear, so he stretched out his little finger to poke his ear.The fat man was also taken aback. The drunkard didn't rush over, as if he was stepping on moss after the rain, the soles of his feet were so slippery that he couldn't keep his balance, and he fell down suddenly. "This is not a doctor! This is not a doctor!" The alcoholic who had just got up yelled, "This is your brother-in-law, this is Ma Chuanxiang! Not a doctor!" The alcoholic's eyes were as big as lanterns, and his face was almost touching. On that guy with the peeling skin. "Brother Gan?" Ma Zhongchu was even more surprised, but then a smile appeared on his face. "Ma Chuanxiang?" The big fat man suddenly relaxed, and he ran to the drunkard with small steps, bent down to check, "Could it be that he has become like your brother and son? Impossible, how could it be?" But wait When he got close to that strange thing, the big fat man backed away again and again, waving his fat palm in front of his nose, "This smell is really bad! You can't get close!" Holding his nose, he walked up to Ma Zhongchu, pointing to a puddle of mud on the ground Ordinary "people" said: "Go over and see if that is your brother-in-law." Ma Zhongchu ran to the drunkard in three steps in parallel. "Ouch, someone stepped on my back, it hurts me to death!" The muddy thing squirmed, "It's over, it's over, I'm going to die, I'm going to die..." "Brother Gan!" Ma Zhongchu was very pleasantly surprised, "It's really Brother Gan! Why are you still standing there? This is my Brother Gan. Hurry up and help him to the house!" The fat man waved his hands and said weakly: "We were not scared to death just now, and we were almost exhausted from running, how can we still have the strength to carry your brother-in-law into the house?" He said, "Well, I'll go to the village to ask someone to help you. You can wait here." After finishing speaking, he didn't ask Ma Zhongchu and the drunkard's opinion, and walked over like a drunk person. Ma Chuanxiang walked along the field ridge. It seems that I have to be reminded by others to know that I am very tired.As soon as the fat man left, the drunkard and Ma Zhongchu felt their legs go limp, and they slumped on the ground. silence…… Dark night enveloped the whole world.Both Ma Zhongchu and the drunkard sat blankly, neither of them speaking. I don't know how long I waited like this, maybe ten minutes, maybe two or three hours, Ma Zhongchu and the drunkard finally heard human voices, the light of a flashlight flickered in front of them, and the faint footsteps of many people could be heard , and some people kept asking: "Is it this way? Is it this way?" The people who came not only helped them carry Ma Chuanxiang away, but also found a doctor with the same peeling skin a hundred steps away.Someone reminded them that they wrapped the doctor and Ma Chuanxiang in plastic before carrying them away.Among the people who came were not only acquaintances from the village, but also medical personnel from the county.When the drunks and the others came out to look for Ma Chuanxiang, Ma Jinlong called the county for help.When the butterflies all over the ground turned into pieces of skin, Ma Jinlong finally gave up his stubborn opinion. Soon, several uniformed policemen also came to this remote village. After first aid, the barefoot doctor, Ma Chuanxiang, and the alcoholic's younger brother and son gradually recovered, and their consciousness returned to a sober state. After the police interrogated several people, everything became clear. It turns out that there is really a cave at the junction of the fruit forest and the rice field, but the nude female statue formed by the geographical location is not as exquisite as people imagined. The cave is not in the middle of the "legs", but a little bit to the north.That's why they couldn't find the hole after searching for a long time, and that's why they found Ma Chuanxiang a hundred steps away.At that time, Ma Chuanxiang had just crawled out of the hole.He had been in a coma for a long time in that cave, and he only woke up from the coma when Ma Zhongchu came to his godfather from the bride's house.When he woke up, he wanted to crawl out of the hole, singing nursery rhymes like crazy while crawling.But just after climbing out of the cave, he fainted again. Although Ma Chuanxiang said there was nothing wrong with having a burrow there, the fat man was still deceived by him because there was no wife in that burrow.In other words, there was indeed a woman in that cave, but it was not Ma Chuanxiang's, but the wife and concubine of a high-ranking official more than four hundred years ago.It's just that her face is as beautiful and coquettish as when she was alive, seductive. 如果马中楚在县城来的人抬出那个四百多年前的美女之前看到她的话，他肯定会以为那是自己的新娘子。也正是这个原因，才使马传香第一次见到骆丽丽的时候大惊失色。一时之间，他以为是那个尸体复活并且找到他家里来了。 为了讨好酒鬼的弟弟，马传香带着酒鬼的弟弟进入过地洞，所以，酒鬼的弟弟看到骆丽丽的时候反应跟马传香一样。而那晚马传香和马中楚看见骆丽丽的房间上演的“剥皮”一幕，正是酒鬼的弟弟造成的。酒鬼的弟弟为了确定这个女人到底是不是那个地洞里的女尸，他偷偷潜入了骆丽丽的房间。在马中楚兄弟俩闯入房间的时候，酒鬼的弟弟躲进了衣柜，他并没有试图逃走。这恰好加深了马中楚兄弟俩的怀疑。 而酒鬼的弟弟和儿子从身上剥落皮肤，则是由作孽的马传香和酒鬼的弟弟污辱女尸之后带出尸毒引起的。县城来的医疗人员说，这种尸毒有一定的潜伏期，而现在刚好是比较容易暴发的时期，如果他们再晚来一些，估计整个村子的人都会被传染，那后果将不堪设想…… 马中楚趔趔趄趄地赶回家里，发现他的新娘子像一块腊肉般悬挂在了房梁上…… (End of the book)
