Chapter 2 2. Dreams and Disappearing Corpses

Back in the room, I dumped the contents of the bag on the table, a beak that looked like a chicken, with some flesh behind it, but the flesh had dried up, a mass of hair from an unknown animal stuck together , the black one looks like dried blood, and there is a stone, which is very black and flat, with a bull's head drawn on it with white paint, like a tribal totem, I took a rough look at the bull's head pattern, I I didn't dare to play with it too much. In addition, there was another dry branch-like thing with a cracked surface, so I couldn't tell what it was.

Looking at these strange wreckages, I thought that the smell of these things must be fishy, ​​but I didn't expect that not only did it have no special smell, but this thing that looked like a branch actually gave off a little strange smell. The combination of these things is simply It's exactly the same as the witchcraft used by voodoo to curse people in the movie. I quickly put everything back into the cloth bag, tightened the rope and tied it, and put the cloth bag aside, ready to find a chance to burn it. Not all in the movie Did you act like this?

Yes, I'm going to have to burn these things, and oh yes, with a sprinkle of salt.I took off my gloves and went back to the computer. While thinking about whether the dream I had repeatedly had something to do with the cloth bag, I searched for relevant information on the Internet. Zero’s marketing account talked about urban legends without any reference value. I lit a cigarette, leaned on the back of the chair, and prepared to analyze and analyze it together when my junior came back.

When it was almost lunch time, the younger brother hadn’t come back yet, and I didn’t have any idea about the contents of the cloth bag. I took a photo of the cloth bag and sent it to the younger brother. The younger brother replied:

"What, kits."

"Brother, hurry back." I replied.

"..." Junior Brother sent me three full stops:

"What the hell, I'm on my way back. I caught a lot of small fish today." Then I sent a photo back, and I saw that there were indeed a lot of small fish in the bucket, and I could bring them to feed the cat later.When the junior arrived in the room, he wore a dirty straw hat that he found somewhere. When he put the fishing rod down, he caught a glimpse of the cloth bag on the ground and asked me:

"What is this?" After speaking, he kicked with his foot.

"Have you seen witchcraft in the movies?"

"I must have seen it, I watched a lot of American dramas, what's the matter, witchcraft bag?"

"Yes, if you don't believe me, open it and have a look."

The younger brother was dubious, seeing that I didn't seem to be joking, so he pinched the mouth of the bag with his index finger and thumb to open it. The movement was very delicate. It would be more perfect if there were fingers that were not so thick.He glanced under the light:

"Fuck! Where did you find it?"

"Upstairs, I found it when I went upstairs to look for the cat in the morning."

"This thing, are you sure it's not a child's toy? When I was a child, I watched a Chinese medicine master in a TV series. He took the onion, ginger and garlic from home and put them in a small bag and hid them under the bed. As a result, there was a musty smell in the room. My parents were right. I tortured and searched for a long time before I found out, and in the end I was beaten severely."

"There's no dust on this thing. I guess it hasn't been long. Have you seen children come to the factory these days?"

"Then what are you going to do with this thing?" Junior Brother asked me.

"When this thing was discovered, no one saw it, so let's just burn it and exorcise the demon physically." The younger brother agreed:

"It doesn't look like a valuable thing. If you burn the contents and keep this cloth bag, if it belongs to someone in the factory, you can return it to them." I praised my junior brother for his thoughtfulness, and then put the contents inside Pour it into the lid of the mosquito coil box.

"It's better now, there are not many people in the factory, go downstairs and burn it, I will go to the kitchen to get some salt."

"It's really yours, you still use salt, old exorcist." This time it's my junior's turn to praise me.

I went to the kitchen to grab a handful of cigarettes, my junior took the mosquito coil box and a roll of toilet paper and went downstairs, I sprinkled salt on the landscape stone in the yard, and when I was about to light the fire, my junior said:

"This hair looks like hair, and this piece of something, like agarwood, has a smell."

"The hair is not there. The cattle farm here is probably cow hair. I can smell the smell of this thing too. Let's do it quickly."

The younger brother used a lighter to ignite the toilet paper and put it on top of the pile of things. When it burned the hair and branches below, there was a crackling sound, and there was a smell of incense. Suddenly, I felt a little strange. I have been here, and I asked my younger brother:

"Where did you smell this smell?"

"I think it's a bit familiar." But soon the smell melted into the air with a wisp of smoke, and it dissipated before we could taste it carefully. Looking at the dark embers below, only a chicken beak can be vaguely identified When I came out, the stone was scorching hot, my junior poured a ladle of water on it, and there was white steam coming out, and the bull head pattern on it became blurred. I picked up the burnt mosquito coil lid and threw it away. In the garbage can, the pile of ashes on the ground was poured with water again, and it became a paste. The younger brother shoveled them up with a dustpan and dumped them on the grass beside him.

Just finished processing, Zhang Yi came to the kitchen to cook, my junior brother and I went upstairs to take down the bowls and chopsticks, and sat in the room next to the kitchen. This is a cafeteria, and there is a TV to watch. We watched TV in the cafeteria with the air conditioner on , wait for dinner.

After a while, Zhang Yi came into the room with the dishes and told us to call Zhao Cong and the others to come to eat. He also told us that tomorrow the factory will prepare dumplings.After eating, I went upstairs and took out a few small fish from the fish bucket of my younger brother, threw them in the corner of the yard, sat in the yard and pretended to play with my mobile phone, and after a while the white cat jumped onto the wall, still far away After looking at me twice, I picked up one and took it away. After a while, one after another, the fish I threw was picked up by the white cat a few times. I don’t know where it was hidden. It called "meow" twice I jumped on the wall again and didn't show up again. I saw that my feeding was successful, so I put away my phone and went upstairs.

The next day, Manager Wang came to the factory with a big bag of flour, and then asked Dapeng to chop stuffing and make noodles. My junior brother and I don’t have this skill, but we still have the skill of making dumplings. We just waited for them to help after they finished making it. Bag.It is a dumpling with leek egg and vermicelli stuffing. The flour is not white flour, but cornmeal. Add water and knead it into a dough. The aunt in the factory came to take care of rolling the dough. The dough rolled out from the stick noodles is not so smooth around. Once rolled, the circle of the dough looks like a map. Cracked like the edges.Rather than making dumplings, the dough is as big as a hand and wrapped with stuffing, it is better to say that it is making leek boxes.

We made a bamboo basket, and Manager Wang took it to the kitchen next door. The dumplings are very filling, and one person will be full after eating a few. Manager Wang said that there was still a lot of beef left yesterday, and we can cook some more tonight. After eating, I asked Zhang Yi if he had any wine.

"Yes, yes, always keep it on hand. It's fine if you don't drink alcohol every day. Once you drink, you will have more."

Manager Wang sneered: "I'm exercising, right?"

After lunch, I was in the room with my junior brother. He was half lying on the bed. I sat on a stool with one foot on it and asked my junior brother:

"Have you been sleeping lately or not dreaming?"

"I didn't do it, I slept soundly."

"I've had the same fucking dream twice. Logically speaking, even if it's the broken bag, we should all dream about it." Then I described the scene in the dream to him, The younger brother wrinkled his face and couldn't tell why:

"Brother, you should eat and sleep, you must have just experienced country life and haven't gotten used to it for a long time."

"That makes sense, otherwise why would I keep dreaming of me in the cornfield?"

"Did you come here two days ago to pick someone else's corn and was cursed by someone?" The junior brother suddenly realized.

"Fuck you, didn't you pick it later? Are you dreaming?" The younger brother shook his head and asked me:

"What is that lantern? Did you walk towards the lantern in your dream?"

"Yes, then I met you. You told me to read early at eight o'clock, and I woke up." I said angrily.

"Just blame me, you might see it clearly next time you run faster."

"I'll try."

At dinner time, there was indeed a large pot of beef on the table. Manager Wang said that I put thirteen incense this time, and the aroma was really tangy and mouth-watering. Sometimes they forgot that I don’t drink, so they poured me a glass. I went over to pick up the glass and said with a smile that I couldn’t drink it, and wanted to hand it back to them. When the glass passed in front of me, my nose smelled the wine. Xiang, I was surprised:

"This taste, why is it so similar to that branch!"

I withdrew my hand holding the wine glass, looked sideways at my junior brother and said:

"This wine is delicious, isn't it?"

"It must be. Our village brews it ourselves. It's grain wine. It doesn't hurt to drink too much." Zhang Yi interjected.

Seeing that I, a non-drinker, specially commented on this wine, my junior also smelled it, raised my head and looked at me, and said after reacting:

"It's really fragrant, but the homemade one is different."

Seeing the younger brother like this, I knew he must have smelled this smell too. It was the same smell as when we were cooking at noon. Dapeng and the others at the side advised him to touch one as soon as possible. I hurriedly said:

"Tomorrow we have to get up early to collect experimental data. The experiment is important. Junior brother, don't drink today, don't miss it. Last time you finished drinking the cow I fed the next day alone, no matter how much it barks, it won't wake you up."

Seeing what I said, the younger brother hurriedly put down his glass and echoed, Dapeng and the others also said:

"Yes yes yes, don't delay your experiments, there is plenty of wine, next time next time." The younger brother nodded hastily:

"Next time, definitely next time."

After the meal, my junior brother and I went upstairs. When we went up the stairs, my junior brother couldn't help it:

"I'm so stupid. Why does this wine taste the same as that thing? They use this thing to make wine?"

"Medicine Bar, maybe it's because of the addition of this thing when making the wine, so the wine has this taste, don't tell me, it's really fragrant."

"I'd better not drink it in the future. I drank it without knowing what it was. I felt uncomfortable."

Early the next morning, I was woken up by the time signal from the elementary school next door. I saw my junior sitting on my bed with an unbelievable expression on my face. Seeing that I woke up, my junior said:

"Guess what I dreamed about?"

"Cornfield." He sighed and nodded.

"Then guess what I dreamed about?" I asked him back.

The younger brother heard me say this, grinned, and let out a "wipe" with a high friction coefficient. Just listening to this blissful "wipe", I can even feel the coolness of the saliva bursting from between his teeth falling on his arm .

After washing up, the two of us went to the cowshed to feed the cows. On the way, the younger brother gave a "tsk":

"I don't think those two are lanterns. Have you seen The Hobbit?"

"I've seen it, what's the matter?"

"Those two lanterns, do they look like the eyes of Smaug?" Smaug is the name of a giant dragon in the movie. I recalled the appearance of the "lantern", and the color in the middle is indeed different from that of the surroundings, just like pupils and pupils.

"No way, dragon, this western dragon can come to this damn place to guard the cornfield?"

"I just think these two things are like eyes. I can't see clearly in my dream. They are all gray fog."

"Didn't you say that you slept soundly before, and you were dreaming about it anyway."

"Wine." "Wine."

After a moment of silence, both of us uttered this word. The younger brother drank alcohol the first two times, so he didn’t dream. Last night, the younger brother didn’t drink any alcohol, so he had the same dream as me. My heart moved, and I asked the younger brother :

"Can you see the cornfield clearly?"

"I can see clearly, but I can't see anything in the distance because of the grayness."

"I drank the wine the first time, so I had a dream, but I could barely see the cornfields on both sides of the road. The second time, I didn't drink at all. The visibility was the same as yours. There is indeed a problem with the wine."

The younger brother talked and gestured, one finger waved up and down:

"That's right, it must be the wine. I drank it twice. I won't die. I'm still young."

"Do you think there is something wrong with Zhang Yi and the others after drinking it, but this wine can actually block this dream. Is it because I drank too much to sleep so I don't dream?"

While we were talking, we arrived at the cowshed, and the younger brother was muttering:

"Don't die, don't die, I'm dying of anxiety." He scooped up a cup of experimental feed additive and sprinkled it in front of the cow.

"You can't die, you still have to feed the cattle to me." I said while stirring the ingredients that my junior brother sprinkled into the fodder with my hands.On the way back to the room, the junior brother was still sluggish, looking like he was dying. When he returned to the room, he saw the fishing rod flashing back to life instantly, and he regained his spirit:

"I want to spend my limited time on unlimited fishing, and I will die by the fish pond!"

"You are really auspicious, but I have a doubt, we don't usually drink, why don't we dream?" Hearing this, the younger brother was stunned with his fishing rod in his arms, and his movements froze. I also froze when I asked this question. That's right, why don't you drink or dream?

The two of us began to frantically recall the two outrageous things we did during the day when we were drinking. The younger brother held the fishing rod and thought, and I held my chin to think, and finally the younger brother found something in common:

"Every time we drink, it is because there is meat to eat that day. We usually cook some cowpeas and eggplants in the kitchen, and add up to two eggs. We have never cooked meat. Every time we improve the food, Zhang Yi and the others will bring wine to eat. Drinking while drinking, so they didn’t respond to eating meat, but you never drink, so you start dreaming.”

"It's all right now, I can't drink the wine, and I can't eat the meat. If this problem didn't exist, the meat would be really delicious." I was very helpless.

"Then what should we do? Let's buy it from Taobao. Didn't you buy an electric cooker? You can't buy anything from Taobao. I saw meat in the supermarket last time. Let's cook it ourselves." The younger brother smacked his lips and said.

"Okay, that's the only way to go." Immediately, I ordered a few meat rolls for hot pot on Taobao. After the analysis with me, my junior brother no longer struggled with the issue of drinking alcohol, so I was happy. I picked up the fishing rod and went out. I thought it would be a big deal not to eat this meat in the future. Although it was a pity, it was better than a strange dream. I turned my head and turned on the computer, flashed the video and played the game. Change.

Two days later, the meat roll I bought arrived. Since it was a fresh product, the store sent the SF package. I went to the supermarket to pick up the goods. I found an embarrassing thing. The supermarket has all kinds of express delivery, but there is no SF Express. I went to the town to the northeast of the factory to pick it up, about ten kilometers away. I was dumbfounded, but there was no other way. The factory employed many people from the village. Except for a few aunts working in the dairy area, the other working areas were all old workers. Most of them are old men. They would ride electric tricycles and park in the parking shed next to the factory entrance to charge. The people in the village are simple and honest. These old men don’t lock the cars at all, and the keys are inserted in the cars. We borrow them at will. The old men said hello, gave out cigarettes a few times, and after chatting with them a few times, they said that they can ride the three-wheeled electric tricycle casually, as long as they are used up and then connect them to the charger, so I called my junior brother, I picked up an electric tricycle with a relatively full battery, and prepared to head to the town, striving to improve the food tonight and eat some meat without side effects.

The electric tricycle was speeding on the small road in the country, and the speed was so fast that it almost caught up with my bicycle. After riding for more than half an hour, I finally arrived at the town. The town is not too prosperous, and there are many barbecues on the roadside. stand.

"Next time, find a time to come over and have some skewers." I said to my younger brother.Then we started looking for SF Express, and after searching for about 10 minutes, we finally saw a small blackboard at the door of a tailor shop with the word SF written on it in yellow chalk. I cursed secretly for fear that I would find it, and then I went into the store and got the meat rolls in a foam box. I saw that there was nothing to do nearby, so I was ready to return. The younger brother was at the helm. I half squatted behind the tricycle, holding both sides tightly. Don’t ask me why I was holding tightly. I mean, last time I squatted on the tricycle like this, without supporting the sides, my junior rode to the factory gate and made an emergency stop, and my face was pressed against the back of the seat in front of me. At that time, I finally understood that people can never resist physics. The law and inertia made me unable to be myself. After getting out of the car, I yelled at my junior brother for being able to drive steadily. The junior brother laughed wildly and said he could imagine what I looked like.

When I came here, the sky was clear, and when I went back, the sky became faster, just like the last time I ate steamed buns that I didn’t know how many times and then ran thin. Speaking of this, I can only say that the stomachs of people in the city are still too weak. At noon that day, the wind was sunny, I took two steamed buns from the stove, and they were a little yellow when baked on the stove, exuding a burnt aroma. Zhang Yi and the others also took a few and ate them, and took them back to the room. When he was fishing in the morning, he brought biscuits and ate them, so I ate one and a half by myself. Not long after eating, I felt my stomach was overwhelmed. I said something bad, picked up the toilet paper and flushed it to the toilet. Looking at Manager Wang's calligraphy works, I entered another door and started releasing.

That day, I became a Splatoon, and I was still not fully recovered at night. In the end, there was nothing to release. I lifted my pants and saw that there was white mucus in the urinal. I was terrified. I quickly searched the Internet for what it was. , the genius doctor on the Internet told me that this is intestinal fluid, which may be caused by enteritis. I hurriedly opened the map software on my phone to search for nearby hospitals, but I had to update the software. I was so anxious that I was sweating. After the update, I checked It was only a few kilometers to the nearest township hospital near the cattle farm, and I felt a little relieved. When I returned to the room, I said to my junior with a solemn and reserved face:

"I'm not feeling well. If I'm still not well tomorrow, take me to the hospital."

The younger brother expressed his understanding, and then asked me:

"Did you run away?"

"During dinner, I saw that Zhang Yi and the others also ate this expired food at noon, nothing happened."

"You can't compare with them." The younger brother teased.From that day on, I decided to only eat fresh white buns in the future.

After finishing this tasteful memory, I looked at the thick dark clouds in the sky:

"Hurry up, it looks like it's going to rain heavily."

The younger brother imitated the lines of the stone man in LOL with a husky voice:

"I'm going full speed ahead."

Just when the younger brother was advancing at full speed, the rain gradually became heavier. When he was still a few kilometers away from the cattle farm, the rain was already so heavy that he couldn't open his eyes. The younger brother shouted:

"I can't fucking see the way!" I covered the two people's mobile phones with my body to prevent water from entering, and I couldn't even speak. I finally went back to the room, took off my clothes and dried myself, and heated a pot We soaked some coffee in water to warm up our bodies, but the coffee was ready and the rain stopped. We vented our anger at the sky, and at night we ate meat rolls as if we were relieved. I bought two catties of meat rolls and we shared them. After the meal.

Hiccupping, the two of us sat down to play black games. I said that last year I was in another cattle farm, and I was riding a three-wheeler, but the battery ran out. I pushed the car for a few kilometers under the scorching sun with two senior sisters. I just returned to the cattle farm, and today I was fucked by the rainstorm like money.I took out a pack of soft China from my schoolbag and gave one to my junior brother.

"I wiped you and hid this good thing?"

"When I came here, I wanted to show some ostentation to the workers in the factory. Later, I found out that they were smoking the real cigarettes, so I didn't take them out."

The next morning, after finishing the work, the younger brother turned around and changed his outfit to go fishing. I was going to the supermarket to buy some instant noodles and snacks. Although the supermarket is very close to here, I have always insisted that the biggest difference between humans and animals is that they can use tools. I decided to go to the carport to ride an electric tricycle. The next day, there was a torrential rain, the ground was very muddy, the rain washed the ground, and there was a smell of earth. I went into the carport to pick up the car. Carefully avoiding the muddy puddles on the ground, I suddenly found the dead body of a puppy in the corner of the carport. It wasn’t the one my aunt raised. I didn't see it when I was in the car. The body was covered with mud and water. Maybe someone buried it hastily here, and it washed out after a heavy rain.

I took a closer look, although I majored in animal husbandry and did a lot of dissecting animals, but I still frowned involuntarily. The puppy's body was very mottled with bloodstains, and the scratches on the wound looked deep. Shallow, I sighed, thinking that this should look man-made, this is animal cruelty, the person who did this has never heard of it, can you not love it, please don’t hurt me, I shook my head and took a photo with my mobile phone I'm going to wait until I get back from shopping.

When I returned the car after shopping, my back felt cold and the body was gone.
