"What should I do, Master? Come and see me at night?" I asked Wu Dan.
"Wait a minute, when the old man finishes burning the paper, let's go back to the village with him to ask about the situation and see what happened to those injured by the scarecrow." Wu Dan said.
So the three of us stood aside and watched the old man tremblingly walk towards the scarecrow. Seeing this situation with Zhao Yu, I was afraid that the old man would fall due to a bad leg, so I immediately followed to support him. In this day and age, those who dare to support the elderly are all real men.
We helped the old man through the gaps of the scarecrows and walked to the cemetery behind them. When I passed the scarecrows, I couldn't help but look up at them. I don't know if it's my illusion, but I always feel that these scarecrows are wet and damp, as if they haven't dried after being drenched in the rain.
But now it is dry autumn, and it rained half a month ago. No one lived around, let alone spraying the scarecrow with water.
I felt strange, so I couldn't help but looked at these scarecrows carefully again. The wet breath rushed towards my face, and I saw that the color of the straw on the scarecrow's body was getting darker, as if water had seeped out of the body.
The wind was blowing coldly, and I heard the sound of straw beating, accompanied by the bleak and gloomy weather in autumn, adding to the weird and weird atmosphere.
After helping the old man to stop in front of a grave, I involuntarily went back to the scarecrow and looked up at a relatively complete scarecrow.
This scarecrow is only missing one arm, the other parts are still there. It was nailed to a stake in the ground and wore a straw hat with a low brim covering half of its head. I walked closer and stared at the scarecrow for a while.
Just when my eyes fell on the scarecrow, I suddenly saw that the color of the straw on the scarecrow deepened a lot.
My heart moved, and I leaned over to look, and after a while, I saw streaks of red liquid dripping from the scarecrow's body first, and then gathered into small streams, flowing down the wooden stake sparsely.
"Blood!" I shouted in surprise.
"What?" Zhao Yu immediately followed after seeing this.
"There is blood in the scarecrow, is there a dead body hidden in it?" I asked in surprise.
Zhao Yu stepped forward to take a look, and asked, "Where is the blood?"
I rubbed my eyes and looked again, but saw that the blood on the scarecrow was gone. Everything is as usual, the weather is very cold, the scarecrow is silent, and the breath of wet straw comes one after another, which always gives people an unreal feeling.
"This thing is very evil." Wu Dan also walked over and said.
"But¡ª" Zhao Yu frowned and said, "I do smell a bloody smell, and I don't know where it came from."
"Is there a dead body hidden in the scarecrow?" I asked.
Wu Dan spat: "This scarecrow is thinner than you. What kind of corpse is hiding? Can't Xiao Zhao see the corpse after hiding it? But the smell of blood is indeed strong, even I can smell it. Maybe there are dead corpses buried nearby Bar."
"I don't see any corpse." I said immediately.
"Your eyes may not be easy to use. I didn't see anything unusual in someone's house last time." Wu Dan said: "This shows that some people may know the ability of the Nether Eye, so they used related Taoism to hide their breath." .It may be a trap and we must be careful."
The three of us were chatting, and when we saw that the old man had finished burning the paper and packed up his things tremblingly, we went to help him walk to the village again. After walking all the way, the old man got acquainted with us, and then told us the story of the scarecrow intermittently.
The old man said that there were only a few tombs and a long-abandoned old house in this place. Originally there was no one living in the old house, but at some point a homeless man came along with a teenage girl. The two lived in an old house nearby.
The two of them didn't have any contact with the villagers. Everyone only guessed that they were a father and daughter, and they didn't know anything else. Then one day, the two suddenly disappeared again. The time of disappearance was probably more than a year ago. After the two disappeared inexplicably, there were a lot of scarecrows here. The house they lived in also collapsed in a storm more than a year ago.
Later, when the people in the village approached here again, there was an incident of wounding people in which the scarecrow was resurrected at night.
"Could this man be the ex-husband of the dead woman?" I asked Zhao Yu.
Zhao Yu said: "It's possible, but why is there a teenage girl? Could it be that the girl followed her father and then returned to her mother, but was killed by the furious father?"
"Tiger poison??Torago, I don't think so. "I shook my head.
Wu Dan snorted coldly and said, "People's hearts in this world are not what they used to be. Nothing is wrong."
A few of us chatted, arrived at the village, and sent the old man home. This old man is a widowed old man, but the people in the village are simple and honest, and people often go to bring food and drink to the old man and take care of him. The old man's life is not bad, and the house is relatively clean.
After we sent the old man home, we went for a walk in the village. I asked the old man in advance which people in the village had been attacked by scarecrows, and the old man told us one by one.
We went to find these people's homes according to the address and asked about the situation. After visiting these people's homes, everyone talked about the scarecrow and changed their expressions. A few even showed us the scars on their bodies, saying that the scarecrows had hurt them.
We have checked the scars of several people, but the distribution of the scars is not fixed. Some people are injured on the arms, and some are injured on the legs. There is nothing special, as if they were scratched by something deep.
There were seven or eight injured people, all young and middle-aged. Some were curious to join in the fun to verify whether the scarecrow was really resurrected, but they were scratched. Pure type of death.
"It seems that the Scarecrow doesn't want their lives very much." Zhao Yu said in a low voice, "If the Scarecrow is evil, it shouldn't be so merciful."
Wu Dan shook his head and said, "No, there is another possibility. The Scarecrow knows them."
"Master, are you a tease soldier sent by the monkey?" I laughed and said, "Although the scarecrows are watching this place every day, I don't think a few scarecrows possessed by some evil spirits can be lenient to the neighbors." .¡±
"What if they're not just scarecrows?" Wu Dan said.
"What do you mean?" I asked.
"It means that we will experience it ourselves at night." Wu Dan said.
I grinned, wondering if we are not from this village, maybe the scarecrow would make a big move when he saw us. So I fantasized about being chased by some scarecrows with missing arms and legs, and I couldn't help laughing.
After turning around and coming back, we stayed at the old man's house. Zhao Yu is very caring, cleaning up the room for the uncle to make dinner, I watched him rushing in and out, I always feel that this guy is getting more and more virtuous.
Wu Dan sat with Erlang legs crossed and waited for the meal, and at the same time he didn't forget to laugh at me: "You are not as good-looking as Xiao Zhao, and you don't seem to be as good as others in other aspects. I feel more and more that Lingxi Aren't you a bit blind? I really answered that sentence~"
As he spoke, he picked up his teacup and took a sip.
"What do you say?" I was indignant.
"It doesn't matter if you are ugly and have no advantages, you have to be brave enough to chase girls, what if the other party is blind?" Wu Dan said.
"Master" I said helplessly, but I couldn't think of any words to refute.
After quarreling with Wu Dan, we had lunch and took a rest all afternoon. We waited for night and dark before we packed up our things and started to act.
The old man fell asleep early. We didn't want to disturb him, so we quietly went out the door. There is no moon and no stars tonight. When I walked to the cemetery, I saw a few scattered scarecrows trembling slightly in the night wind from a distance.
I glanced at them and stopped in my tracks.
"What? Something abnormal?" Wu Dan asked upon seeing this.
"I didn't feel it during the day, but at night, I found that the scarecrow was full of blood, surrounded by clusters of red blood." I whispered: "Master, what does this mean? The scarecrow can kill people?"
Wu Dan thought for a while, and said slowly: "There is another possibility, that is, the scarecrow was soaked in blood before."
"Soaked in blood?" I shuddered when I heard it. (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
