Chapter 8
by☆、Chapter 8 Evil God
It seems that Lin Qiushi has not seen such good weather for a long time. The wind stopped, the snow stopped, the warm sun hung in the sky, and the warmth returned to the earth, as if the things experienced last night were just insignificant nightmares.
Lin Qiushi rarely stayed in bed with Ruan Baijie for a while, and talked about the philosophy of life from poetry and poetry.
In the end, Ruan Baijie was hungry and urged Lin Qiushi to get something to eat.
Lin Qiushi went to the kitchen and saw that everyone had woken up early and were discussing going to the carpenter's place after dinner.
Xiong Qi saw Lin Qiushi greet him, and then asked Ruan Baijie.
"It's still in bed." Lin Qiushi said, "It's too cold to get out of bed, so I'll bring her something to eat."
Xiong Qi snorted and said that they planned to go out later and let Lin Qiushi be together. If this were on a normal day, everyone would suspect that Lin Qiushi and Ruan Baijie had done something, but what happened last night, if Lin Qiushi and the others still had this interest and energy, they would be really talented.
Today, when went to the carpenter, Xiong Qi mainly wanted to ask about filling the well. They didn't know how to fill it, and when to fill it. But the most important thing should be why the well is being filled.
It has been a while since I came here, and Lin Qiushi is also sure that almost every household here has a well, and most of the wells are in the center of the yard, just blocking the way for people to go out. This is very unscientific in terms of structure, and seems to hide some strange customs.
Yesterday, three people died because of the carpenter's wrong information. Everyone was in a bad mood when they saw him again. Even the always kind Xiong Qi's expression turned a little colder, but fortunately the old man didn't pay much attention to it. He still held the smoking gun and squinted his eyes.
"Father, what do we need to do after worshiping?" Xiong Qi asked.
"Of course the well was filled," said the carpenter. "Choose one night, put the dead thing in the well, and you're done."
"Dead thing? What dead thing, what do you mean by that?" Xiao Ke felt bad, and his tone suddenly became much heavier, "What do you mean?"
"Literally," said the carpenter.
"As long as it's a dead creature?" Xiong Qi quickly confirmed.
"Yes, as long as it's dead," said the carpenter. "As long as you can find it, throw it in the well and cover it with soil within three days, and the coffin can be made."
Hearing that as long as it's dead, Xiong Qi breathed a sigh of relief, but before he could finish his breath, Ruan Baijie, who was standing beside him, said, "We've been in this village for so many days, and we haven't seen this. What living creatures are there in the village, where to find chickens, ducks, dogs and geese."
"But didn't we eat eggs?" Lin Qiushi remembered the vegetable basket at home, "Since there are eggs, there should be chickens."
"You didn't look at the basket carefully." Ruan Baijie said, "There are no outsiders in our house, and there are no villagers. The things in the basket are all grown by themselves."
Lin Qiushi: "...So what is the egg from?"
Ruan Baijie: "It doesn't matter what it is, it tastes good anyway."
Lin Qiushi: "..." He felt sick to his stomach.
With Ruan Baijie's reminder, everyone seemed to remember that there were indeed no living creatures in this village. It was a cold winter, and it was even more impossible for there to be anything in the mountains. Xiong Qi was also smart, and he caught a certain key at once. The blood on his face gradually faded and he began to turn white: "Old man, what do you mean?"
The carpenter said, "I'm just a coffin maker. There's only so much I can do. I won't hurt you on purpose."
When he said this, finally someone couldn't bear it anymore, Zhang Zishuang slammed the table and roared: "What do you mean you won't hurt us on purpose, you let us go into the temple one by one to worship, and now anyone who goes in alone will die. —"
The carpenter said coldly, "What is the coffin used for?"
Everyone was stunned.
"Isn't it just used to pretend to be dead, there are no dead people, so what kind of coffins are you doing?" The carpenter laughed, his wrinkled face looked very weird, "Besides, why don't you listen to me... …”
Ruan Baijie: "What are you listening to?"
The carpenter pointed to them: "There are so many people left, and she is not full."
"I'm full...?" Lin Qiushi heard the word "eat", and suddenly remembered the corpse on the third floor that was chewed into pieces, as well as the details that everyone mentioned yesterday, the person who was hacked to death by that terrifying ghost seemed to be They were all dragged back to the temple, and now he finally knew the final whereabouts of those corpses.
"What the hell is that?" Xiong Qi couldn't help but ask, "That woman..."
The carpenter waved his hand and refused to continue.
Ruan Baijie's eyes began to float, and finally stopped in an empty corner, muttering: "Why did you put the stick away?"
The carpenter almost laughed angrily, wondering if I wouldn't put it away and wait for you to pick it up like last time and threatened to beat me up.
Ruan Baijie: "Although the stick is gone, fortunately I have other preparations." She said and took out a pocket knife from behind, "Sir, talk it out well, anyway, if you don't make it clear, we all have to die in Here, it would be nice to take you with me as a companion before I die."
carpenter:"……"
Whether it was a carpenter, even Lin Qiushi was stunned, everyone fell into a strange silence, and most of them were thinking about this kind of coquettish operation? ?
The carpenter was so angry that he could not do anything about Ruan Baijie, so he could only grit his teeth and talk about "that woman".
It turned out that the woman was a god worshipped in their village. Although she was a god, she was an evil god. While protecting the village's safety, she also liked to eat raw flesh and blood. Every winter, the villagers offer sacrifices with live animals. But there was an accident in the village this year, and the animals were gone...
Fortunately, at this time, there came a few foreigners who were willing to help them make coffins.
Having said that, everyone understands that they are the living animals in the eyes of the villagers.
"Do I have to be fed? What happens if I don't feed?" Xiong Qi asked.
The carpenter said, "If you don't have enough food... she will come to you, and everyone who makes coffins has to worship her, so this year, no one will make coffins except you." He took a breath, "That's all I can say. , as long as you fill the well, I will start making coffins."
Ruan Baijie didn't say anything, she lowered her head and played with the knife in her hand. Her fingers were slender, and the sharp blade slid across her fingertips, making everyone dazzled.
The carpenter also fell silent. He seemed to be quite afraid of Ruan Baijie, and often looked at her when he spoke.
Just when everyone thought Ruan Baijie would say something, she sighed and said, "Let's go."
"Go back here?" Xiong Qi said.
"Otherwise." Ruan Baijie was a little impatient. "He already knows so many things, and he won't be able to ask any more questions." She turned around, pushed the door open, and walked out with a very determined attitude.
Seeing this, everyone followed Lu and walked out one after another. Lin Qiushi felt that Ruan Baijie didn't seem to be in a good mood, so he chased out and asked her what was wrong.
Ruan Baijie said, "Be careful tonight."
"What do you mean? You mean that thing might come to us?" Lin Qiushi could only think of this reason to be careful.
"Heh." Ruan Baijie smiled, she suddenly turned her head, leaned into Lin Qiushi's ear, and said softly, "Sometimes, people are more terrifying than ghosts."
Lin Qiushi was stunned.
"Go back." Ruan Baijie turned and walked forward. Lin Qiushi looked at her back and suddenly felt that this girl really couldn't see through.
If before going to the carpenter's place, everyone would occasionally say a word or two, then after returning from the carpenter's place, the atmosphere among the people has completely turned into a pool of stagnant water, which is about to stink.
Lin Qiushi didn't understand why this happened. Ruan Baijie was eating roasted sweet potatoes and explained slowly: "You are stupid, because before everyone still thought about working together to survive, but now..."
"Now?" Lin Qiushi wondered.
"Now, everyone is waiting for the other party to die soon." Ruan Baijie leaned against the chair, "As long as someone dies, there will be dead objects to fill the well, and the coffin will be made, and everyone can leave alive..."
Lin Qiushi: "..." He didn't think of this at all, and his expression became a little dazed after hearing it, "Is the world in the door like this?"
Ruan Baijie continued: "This is actually quite good, you must not go out tonight, otherwise..."
Lin Qiushi: "Will you meet that female ghost?"
Ruan Baijie shook her head: "You may encounter something more terrifying than a female ghost."
Lin Qiushi actually guessed something in his heart, but he was still reluctant to admit it. After all, he was born in a legal society, and his thinking has not been able to break away from the frame. Ruan Baijie hinted that some people would kill their companions for this in order to obtain dead objects that could fill the well, but he was unwilling to believe that someone would really do this.
That night, Lin Qiushi lost sleep.
Ruan Baijie lay beside him, still sleeping like a carefree pig.
Lin Qiushi looked at the ceiling, thinking about the things that happened during the day, the windows and doors were closed, he wanted to use the chair against the door, but Ruan Baijie said from the side: "You are not afraid of that thing suddenly appearing at the door. In our room...?"
Lin Qiushi: "...!!" That makes sense.
So he obediently moved the chair away again.
However, what should happen will happen sooner or later. At two in the morning, Lin Qiushi, who was troubled by insomnia, heard the screams of humans again.
The author has something to say: Woah, be careful for those of you who say you are not afraid, be careful I jump out of the toilet hole and slap your ass! ! !
