Chapter 9 Dead Man's Ditch

Du Zhenbang's expression became serious, and he said, "Indeed, this task is not so easy to pass."

"Since we first proposed the cooperation of exchanging information, let's talk about it first. In fact, before entering the village, Xiao Song and I came to Dead People's Valley a few days earlier and did some research in the nearby mountains. We An altar was found on the mountain, and I sent the photos of the altar to some friends who study history, and they told me that the altar survived from ancient times.”

"And the forms of sacrifice in that period were all living sacrifices. The better ones were live pigs, cattle and sheep as sacrifices, and more people were sacrificed directly to pray for safety. I'm not sure about Yinhun Village. What form of sacrifice is used, but judging from the situation of the altar, it has been taken care of all the time, obviously the villagers of Yinhun Village have not given up this form of sacrifice."

The faces of the others changed greatly when they heard the words, and they felt a little shuddering.Thinking that they may have been living among a group of executioners these days, they have a sense of survival.Especially Ma Lingling, who burst into tears when she heard this, with a bewildered expression on her face, made Liang Feining, who was originally very flustered, ignore her fears and hurried to appease her.

Song Le also said: "In the past few days, the reason why we have chosen to stay at the village head's house is because of his identity. We hope to find some clues from his house or body. However, the village head is very cautious, and we have not been able to get more clue."

Everyone expressed their understanding, and while comforting Ma Lingling, Liang Feining said, "In this way, I also found something strange. Didn't we live in the ancestral hall at the beginning? There are some memorial tablets in the ancestral hall. I feel very strange. "

"My family lives in the city, and I don't know much about these old traditions, but there should be words on the tablets, right?"

"Most of the tablets in the ancestral hall seem normal to me, just like what I saw on TV. But in the corner, there are some blank tablets, and there is a small pot behind each tablet, which is probably our kitchen. It’s about the size of a seasoning box. There is also a small incense burner in front of each tablet, and incense is lit inside, which is more devout than offering sacrifices to ancestors with names and surnames.”

Cao Qiulan thought about it for a while, shook his head, and said, "Taoists don't have such a tradition, it may be a unique custom in their village. I suspect that the small jar may contain ashes, or a part of the deceased's body. "

Du Zhenbang narrowed his eyes and said, "Daoist Cao suspects that those tablets represent the sacrifices that were sacrificed alive? Why do the villagers in Keyinhun Village offer sacrifices? Even the incense burns constantly, and they are more considerate than offering sacrifices to their ancestors?"

Cao Qiulan said: "There are many possibilities. For example, they believe that after being sacrificed, the sacrifices also become a kind of 'god', and enshrining them can protect the village. Or maybe they have a disturbed conscience and hope to obtain Peace of mind."

So much for the question about the tablets, everyone skipped over Ma Lingling who was crying non-stop.Wang Bin said: "In the past few days, I have gone through the information of everyone in the village. Apart from Fan Zisheng, there is another Chen Wang who is more suspicious. But they are both crazy, and I haven't found anything useful from them. clues."

"However, I found that there are some girls in the village who are married from outside. They haven't stayed for a long time, and their attitudes are different from others."

"When they mentioned Fan Zisheng and Chen Wang, their attitudes were very unnatural, and they subconsciously wanted to avoid the topic. If the living sacrifice is true, I suspect that Fan Zisheng and his relatives may have been chosen as sacrifices, so They're going to be crazy."

While sobbing, Ma Lingling said, "I heard from Ge Zhile and Yang Guoshun that the key to the mission lies in the mountains."

"They said very vaguely. I also heard it by accident. I don't know the details. But they said very definitely at the time."

Everyone thought about Ma Lingling's words for a while, and then they heard Cao Qiulan say: "I don't know if you believe in the theory of ghosts and gods, but you have discovered something. Do you remember those two black cats? They have human souls in them." .”

After finishing speaking, Cao Qiulan didn't care whether the others believed it or not, so he finished the task and kept silent.Anyway, what other people said may not be true, but what he said is even more unbelievable.

After being silent for a while, Du Zhenbang said: "In this case, this information exchange is over. As for whether what I heard today is true or false, I think everyone has their own judgments in their hearts. I don't know what plans you have next. ?”

Ma Lingling subconsciously said: "Wait for the police to come? Didn't you say that you should send someone to call the police on the first morning? The police should arrive by tomorrow at the latest, right?" The little girl's tone was a little uncertain.

Liang Feining said with an ugly face: "The words to call the police are all said by the villagers themselves. Who knows if it is true or not?"

Ma Lingling's face turned pale, and she seemed to have figured it out.If the villagers really held live sacrifices, how could the police come over?

The little girl shrunk herself into a ball and muttered to herself: "Then what should I do? There are still three days left. If the police don't come, don't say whether they will die inexplicably like Sister Gu Yu and the others. What if the village What if people think we know their secrets and choose to kill them? There are so many people in the village, and we are only a few of them, so we will definitely not be able to call them. It would be great if the mobile phone had a signal.”

As soon as she finished speaking, Song Le, who was looking down at the phone, suddenly said, "It seems... the phone really has a signal." He originally took the phone to show them the photos of the altar taken on the phone. It was found that the mobile phone suddenly received a weak signal.Although the signal was really weak, it was better than nothing at all.

Ma Lingling seemed to have grasped a life-saving straw, and said in surprise: "Really? That's great!" After speaking, she also took out her mobile phone and turned it on. Sure enough, there was also a weak signal.She couldn't wait to start calling the police, but the signal was too weak. After several attempts, she finally got connected, and the signal was disconnected just after the connection.

Before Ma Lingling continued to call, Du Zhenbang and the others suddenly changed their expressions. They saw a villager approaching this way.

The expressions on the faces of those villagers could not be called any kindness, Du Zhenbang said decisively: "Hurry up, go to the mountains!"

The others didn't bother to think too much, so they rushed out, no matter how they usually are, at such a moment when their lives are at stake, unless they don't want to die, no one will lose the chain, including Ma Lingling who has been crying No exception.

Except for Cao Qiulan and Wang Bin who were alone, the others also carried their own camping equipment on their backs and fled for their lives with heavy loads.

Fortunately, the escape skills of several people are passable, and it may be that the potential of the human body has exploded at a critical moment.

Moreover, the meeting place chosen by Du Zhenbang was originally on the edge of the village, so they quickly fled into the mountains.

Wang Bin ran at the front, while Cao Qiulan followed the black cat in his arms at the back.The leader, Wang Bin, seemed to be very familiar with the terrain in this mountain. Turning left and right, he quickly got rid of the pursuers and ran for a while before everyone stopped to rest in peace.No matter how much potential has been unleashed, after running in the mountains for so long, it is really exhausting.

After taking a few breaths, Du Zhenbang didn't care about his health anymore. He sat down on a big rock and said while panting: "In this case, it is indeed safer to hide in the mountains. What about the sleeping bag?"

In winter, the mountains will only be colder than the city. For camping tents, single-person tents are not impossible to squeeze.But the sleeping bag is definitely not enough to squeeze two people. Even sleeping in a tent at night in the mountains is probably unbearable.

Wang Bin smiled slightly, and suddenly got into the bushes. It didn't take long before he dragged out a large backpack, which contained all kinds of camping equipment.Although Cao Qiulan didn't hide any camping equipment in advance, she was not worried, and said, "If you can trust the poor way, you might as well follow me to a place where it is more suitable for hiding."

Saying that, Cao Qiulan didn't wait for others to answer, and chose a direction to go.Originally, he didn't care much about other people's choices. If they were willing to come with him, he wouldn't mind sharing the good places he found.If they didn't trust him, Cao Qiulan didn't force it. He didn't feel that he needed help from others for this task.

Maybe it's because of the experience of fleeing together, it can be regarded as a shared adversity. The missionaries trust each other a little more than when they were sitting and chatting before. They looked at each other and followed Cao Qiulan's footsteps.After walking in the mountains for more than an hour, Cao Qiulan led them to a hidden cave when the sky was getting dark.

In this cave, the missionaries also saw traces of life such as firewood ashes, and they couldn't help looking at Cao Qiulan in surprise.Cao Qiulan smiled and said, "I lived here for two days before going to Yinhun Village. Don't worry, there are no large animals here."

Finding out that the taskers this time are really hidden dragons and crouching tigers, each one is not simple, Xiaomeng Xin Liang Feining and Ma Lingling trembled.It seemed that they were the most stupid people in that team. They went straight into the village without any preparation, and three of them went in two days.

With a place to stay, the mission workers finally relaxed.Cao Qiulan brought out the dry firewood that had been hidden before, and lit a bonfire in the cave.Ma Lingling wiped her face, took out the water bottle and said, "Brother Feining and I went to fetch water. We ran for so long and sweated a lot. We need to replenish water. I just went to wash my face."
