Chapter 9 Chapter 8 Ghost Head Festival

I was taken aback when I heard this, and stared at the young man in front of me in extreme astonishment. At this moment, his expression was dignified, completely devoid of his usual stupidity, and instead appeared mature and wise.He said those words in a serious and serious manner, without any hint of joking, and I immediately began to search for all the memories of the person in front of me in my mind. Same kind of loser?What does this sentence mean?This is the frontier of the southern country, a wild land, a place I have never set foot in, and I was born in a water town in the south of the Yangtze River. Before the age of eighteen, I was quite closed and never took a step outside my hometown. After graduating from university, I have been "drifting north". There is no intersection!

Although I have seen all kinds of people, I don't have any memory fragments of the person in front of me at all. I can conclude that this is a character that has nothing to do with my world.But why did Adong say that?The tone is also very meaningful, is it really true?Is there something wrong with my memory and all the memory fragments of this person in front of me have been erased like a videotape? I was still trying to think about the memory, when I was awakened suddenly by the harsh sound of a motor. At this time, the heavy rain had gradually stopped. A Dong skillfully lifted the anchor and pulled the motor, put it in the lowest gear, and the boat moved forward slowly.

I went back to the cabin knowingly and looked at my watch. It was only a quarter past two in the morning. Looking at the Sanpao who was snoring like thunder, I didn’t feel much sleepy, so I wrapped myself tightly in a blanket and lit a cigarette. Leaning against the bulkhead and thinking about things. But the tossing and tossing for several days made me too sleepy. Not long after I finished smoking a few cigarettes, my eyelids began to fight, and the sleepiness couldn't stop coming.In a trance, I saw a vague figure shaking in front of me, as if beckoning to me, beckoning me to go over.I was very familiar with that figure, but I just couldn't remember who it was. I desperately followed after him, trying to see who that person was, but I couldn't catch up.

Suddenly, the man stopped and turned his head to look at me. At the same time, a very strong light came directly, and I couldn't open my eyes at all.Take a closer look, my God!A huge black hole suddenly appeared in front of me, and it was bottomless. At this moment, I was on the edge of the hole, and I might fall down if I was not careful.At the same time, the previous figure beckoned to me and jumped into it with a "whoosh". Immediately, I lost control of my body and was sucked abruptly into the black hole. I jumped up from the middle, and then I fell straight into the deep hole...

This made me startled suddenly, and then I felt the glare of the light and the noise around me, only then did I realize that it was a dream. Ying Ge leaned against the ship's side, adjusting the intercom. The signal in the jungle was very poor, and the intercom kept making "squeaking" interference sounds. It was this thing that caused the weird radio-like noise in the dream just now.Ying Ge was talking loudly while debugging, and it was quite difficult to communicate, but he managed to keep in touch with the other team and get the news that everything was going well there. Ying Ge made a report to Long Shao, and then went to pick up A Dong's shift. I slept late last night, and now my head is drowsy. I washed my face with the river water I scooped up, and then started to sort out the materials in my hand. .

Most of the information in my hand is what I have seen and heard in Mansion No. 7 over the past few years, and the notes of some related people. It is not very meaningful, but this time I really showed a rare prudence. Basically everything is sorted out, so the information is too much and miscellaneous, and it gives me a headache just looking at it. The jungle was cool and pleasant in the early morning, and it seemed that the rainy days had come to an end.However, the weather here is fickle. It is very common for a few minutes to be sunny and rainy a few minutes later. We dare not hope that God will give a good face. Can.

After walking for about an hour, the river narrowed again, and the current became much faster. Yingge's driving became more difficult, and everyone was sweating for him. Sanpao was a little seasick, and soon became overwhelmed. He hurriedly stepped forward and said, "I said big man, look at your style, the typical army configuration, you have to take it easy when you play with this thing. I have never been seasick, and my calf is spinning when you are at the helm! If it doesn’t work, I’ll change someone else!” Ying Ge was upset when he heard this, and raised his eyebrows and said, "Hmph! Back then, I ran for two months with a raft and a gun, and ran over the mouth of a crocodile and the hole of a Vietnamese soldier's gun. It's not a damn thing. ? Grandma’s is just you, a cheap and delicate one!”

As soon as Ying Ge finished speaking, there was a loud "bang", and the wooden boat suddenly sank into the water, and then violently shook.This came so suddenly that everyone was unprepared and fell to the ground uncontrollably, rolling back and forth with the violent vibration of the wooden boat. "Damn it! What's the matter?" San Pao was a little dizzy at first, but these two blows almost threw him into the river. He hugged the cabin pillar tightly and cried out in horror.After rolling a few times, I quickly leaned on a post to stabilize, only to find that a large area of ​​​​the roof of the cabin was ruptured.

I was taken aback. Although the cabin roof was made of old and half-decayed wood, its thickness was not bad. The strength to break such a thick cabin roof was a gigantic force. San Pao yelled at Ying Ge: "See, big man, the cowhide is blowing up, right? Look, the roof of the boat was blown apart by you!" Ying Ge snorted and ignored him, pulled down the lock with one hand to stop the ship, touched the long-barreled shotgun with the other hand, and looked warily at the cracked part of the cabin roof. I suspected it was a falling rock from the mountain, but I was wrong when I thought about it. In such a dense jungle, even if there are rocks rolling from above, it will be blocked.What's more, the roof of the cabin is not safe, and there are bursts of "creaking" sounds from time to time, as if something is scratching the roof of the cabin with its hands.

"There's something on it!" I was shocked, pointing to the cabin roof and shouting loudly.Afterwards, everyone immediately became vigilant, and each picked up the guy and went to the side to guard.Ying Ge waved his hand resolutely, and fired according to the location. The long-barreled shotgun fired shotguns, which were extremely powerful at close range. This shot was like throwing a small bomb. A hole the size of a washbasin was punched out of the breach, and sawdust and gravel kept falling down the hole. Drops of red liquid flowed down and dripped directly onto those things.

Master Feng took a look, pointed to the top and said: "It hit, it seems that Ansheng has survived!" Ying Ge nodded, turned around and got out of the cabin, and climbed up the roof along the pillars. After observing and confirming that everything was fine, he called us to go up. Several people climbed up to have a look one after another, and they were all taken aback. It turned out that it was really a stone that hit us.The stone is gray-green in color and as big as a child's bathtub. It is said that there is no reason for such a large stone to roll down from the mountain. Our two banks are not bare rocky mountains, but subtropical jungles. Roll such a large stone down from the mountain. The situation is already rare, and it just happened to hit us, so the possibility is even smaller. Could it be that this stone fell from the sky, and we happened to be hit by a meteorite?What the hell are the odds of this happening? After a closer look, I found that the stone was gray, and the green thing was moss attached to the bare surface. Obviously, this thing came from the depths of the moist dense forest. "It's something from the mountain forest, but..." Master Feng scraped off some stone powder with the Tianlong hook on his finger, and crushed it in his hands, his words were also full of doubts. Long Shao looked up at the sky, then frowned.San Pao said anxiously: "Don't 'not', didn't the big man bleed something just now? It's probably because of that thing!" Everyone was right when they heard it, and they went forward to check around the stone, and there was no blood.This time I found that the edge of the stone was round and regular, which was very strange, so I asked a few people to turn it over, and I was surprised when I saw it. It was not an ordinary stone, but a stone carved human head. The face of the head was facing down, just now Ying Ge's shot hit its left eye, and the rubble fell from this thing.What is even more frightening is that the face of the stone head is dripping with blood, it seems that its injured left eye is bleeding out, it looks very strange! "It's a statue!" Long Shao frowned, looking a little worried. I also understood what he was thinking. Indeed, under such circumstances, the probability of being hit by an ordinary stone is extremely small, let alone a stone. Stone heads!Moreover, the stone carving was originally strange, and the face was bloody, making it even more difficult to calm down. I was startled and said, "Shouldn't this thing bleed? This is too much!" After speaking, I looked at A Dong in disbelief. In his territory, there are some things that are difficult to explain, so I don't want them. It's good to guess wildly, just listen to other people's opinions. At this time, Master Feng let out a "huh", bent down and picked out a palm-sized black object from the pile of stone debris, stared at it carefully for a while and said, "Is this the case?" His words attracted everyone's attention. The thing was black with a few drops of wet blood on it. It should be a fragment of something. From the outline, it should be some kind of special mask, but its Most of them were shot into pieces, and the one I got now is only half of the cheek and chin. "It's a mask! Could it be that someone was injured just now?" I was quite shocked, and San Pao on the side took over and said, "Then what's the point? How dare someone jump onto our boat with such a big stone head? What are you doing, you have to choose a time to commit suicide by jumping into the river!" Long Shao waved his hand and said: "Don't talk nonsense, since it's a human matter, it's easy to talk about it, listen to what Master Feng has to say!" Master Feng looked dignified, and said softly: "Could it be 'Zha Guiduo'?" As soon as the words came out, everyone showed confusion, but A Dong was suddenly shocked, obviously this word was not unfamiliar to him. "What the hell?" Master Feng said: "Zhaguiduo is a transliteration of Burmese Shan language, which means 'a soul that doesn't know where it comes from'!" The earliest people thought it was a concept in Burmese Buddhism. After further academic research, many unknown It was only after the thing was interpreted that it became known that it was actually a pronoun for a special kind of person.” "What special person?" I asked anxiously. Master Feng probably belongs to the person who is used to preaching, and he likes to expand the problem. Although this can be detailed enough, but at this time, I am more impatient, and I hope he will make a long story short, first come Point key. Master Feng smiled and said: "Since such fixed vocabulary appears in the language, I don't think it's nonsense. As for how special it is, it's impossible to know. There are so many things that people in this world don't understand, how can they explain everything clearly?" Deming! In short, these so-called people must be different from ordinary people, otherwise they would not use such a special vocabulary to name them!" I thought it made sense when I heard it, but I was still very confused. Master Feng continued: "Many Zhagui people don't know if they belong to Shan State. Shan State is the most primitive state in Myanmar. The water people in the deep mountains have a kind of The strange customs of water burial, some are to dig holes in the coffin, sink into the river, the eels in the river go in along the holes to eat the corpses, it is said that the eels that grow up after eating dead human flesh are extremely delicious! Some water burials are tied up On stones, throw them directly into the water to feed fish, but I haven’t heard much about the use of stone carvings to tie people’s heads. It can’t be ruled out that they are executions, or some kind of weird rituals. Those unknown humans have too many strange and weird rituals, It’s something that we modern people can’t imagine and accept.” After hearing this, everyone suddenly realized something. Although they were still puzzled, it was better than knowing nothing.Master Feng held the fragment of the mask in his hand, observed carefully, and could see that he was not very relieved. When Sanpao heard this, he said in surprise, "I'm going! Is there such a coincidence? You mean that group of people tied up dead people and threw them down, and it happened to hit us? It's a bad luck to encounter this early in the morning! " A Dong, who had been silent all this time, also opened his mouth at this time, pointing to the stone sculptured head and said: "Boss Feng is really a rare expert, but what you said should be a long time ago, and now even the most In Shan State, which has a primitive flavor, many ancient customs have been discarded, not to mention that many Zhagui people have disappeared for many years, and I and other boat runners have never heard that there are still remnants here.” The words of both of them are reasonable, and it is impossible to judge who is more convincing at the moment, but I am more inclined to A Dong’s statement. After all, the statement of ancient survivors and strange rituals is a bit too dramatic, and it is difficult for a realist like me convince. Master Feng said: "I hope my guess is wrong. You must know that in such a place, outsiders like us are intruders to everything here. Beasts know how to protect their territories. These barbarians are even more troublesome!" Young Master Long immediately said: "Since this is the case, don't pursue anything too deeply, just deal with this thing, and hurry up while the weather is fine!" Everyone nodded in agreement, and reached out to move the stone head, intending to throw it directly into the river.This head is not small, but not as heavy as we imagined, Ying Ge and I lifted it up easily. Why is it so light?Is it hollow?I was wondering, when suddenly my hand slipped, and the hand holding the stone statue came loose, and it fell to the roof of the cabin again, and this time it fell to pieces, and with the sound of "huo hoo", several things rolled out of it come out.I took a closer look and suddenly got goosebumps all over my body.
