not a monster

Chapter 232 Cousin!Cousin is here to save you!

At first, no one cared about the loss.

After all, Su Xiaoqin is also a high school student, so it is impossible to search for her without seeing her for an hour or two.

Su Xiaowei wanted to ask her sister to play with her mobile phone, but she couldn't find it after searching for a long time.

I ran to ask the adults, but no one knew about it. At first, everyone didn't care too much. After the sun went down, the village had been surrounded by every family.

Most of Suji are surnamed Su, and they are neighbors formed by blood ties. This kind of southern clan village has a high cohesion. If any family loses a child, the whole village will stop eating, and they will go around the village with oil lamps and flashlights to find go.

A few old people were smoking and saying something over there. The old village chief went to the side and took the old man's mobile phone to make a call.

The third aunt seemed anxious, Su Xiaowei, Po Nu, and the second aunt were all comforting her.

She scolded the third uncle for more than an hour, and the third uncle was also anxious, but kept silent.

Su Xiaoqin went to the mountains with them for an outing, and some came back together, so it's no wonder the third uncle.

Someone asked if she might have slipped and fell somewhere, and the third aunt panicked when she heard it.

There was an old butcher in the village, who used to have a crazy son who always liked to say some disrespectful things to people. He was smoking and said that he might be abducted by the devil boy. Half of the villagers scoffed at this statement, and half People are dubious.

"Abducted by the devil boy, he will be released after playing with the devil boy for a few days. Back then, many young people in the mountains were lost and found again, like this."

He was about to say something, but when he saw the unreasonable wind in the crowd, he silently smoked a cigarette again.

If some monsters and ghosts were dragged away, there is a real god in the family, so there is no need for him to say more.

Feng Wuli asked Wang Xilou what the Devil Boy was.

After all, Wang Xilou has lived for 800 years. He has seen a lot and thought about it: "It seems that Hu Jian said that it is neither a god nor a ghost. It is a spirit in the mountains. It can confuse human beings and play pranks on people."

Feng nodded unreasonably.

He was not in a hurry, because just now, A Huan told him that the person had been found, and he seemed to have been delusional playing with a wooden man with a bruised monster in the mountain.

That monster was probably the Devil Boy, and was beaten up by the muscular crow man, but the little cousin passed out and hadn't woken up yet. The crow brothers were looking after her, so there was no need to worry about being snatched away by jackals and tigers.

……

It was drizzling in the mountains, and the villagers planned to go into the mountains to find them.

On the way into the mountain stands a small wooden door, which is about the same size as the doors of those firewood houses and wooden houses. It looks like Doraemon’s arbitrary door standing alone on the mountain road. People can bypass it. Young people don’t understand how to stand up a wooden board. What's the point of blocking the road? As the saying goes, the mountain gate is this gate. The older generation said that it is a gate that blocks mountain ghosts. People walk on the mountain road during the day, and ghosts walk at night. , so put a door to prevent the ghosts from coming down.

I passed by once during the outing during the day, and now I have to go up the mountain to find someone to open it again at night. An old man put a stick of incense next to the door and burned two handfuls of paper money.

Tell something in the mountains to bother you tonight.

In fact, they are all superstitious customs.

Some old people set off firecrackers in the village, and some people went to Aunt Wang and the land master to offer incense and offerings, saying that they wanted the devil to bring back the lost people.Some people believe, some don't, this is the present age, there is no conflict between those who believe and those who don't.

Holding a flashlight, shouting in a long voice in the mountains, the lingering sound is full of breath, people are wearing raincoats, straw hats, or walking towards the mountain with umbrellas.

The monsters in the mountain were so noisy that they got out, stood on the branches, hid in the grass, and some bold ones followed the humans directly. The mountain at night was more lively than people imagined.

"What are these humans doing?"

"It seems to be looking for someone."

"Looking for someone?"

"Looking for someone!"

"So they were looking for someone."

"I'm looking for someone, tell me earlier."

"Who are you looking for?"

"Yes! Who are you looking for?"

There's no end to the conversation, they're running after people, wondering what they're doing, and then they hear people yelling something.

It seems to be a name called Su Xiaoqin.

They didn't know what it meant, but they thought it was fun, so they yelled.

Su Xiaoqin——

The mountains are calling for that name, calling for that lost child, shadowy, one after another...

When Su Xiaoqin woke up, she felt that she was on someone's back, and just heard very distant voices, those strange voices called her name, and brought her back from a farther place.

When she opened her eyes, she was actually in the mountains. It was already dark, and now it was raining lightly, making it wet and cold.

I don't know if it was raining, but now she is dizzy and swollen, and her whole body is hot, as if she has a fever.

Behind her back is... my cousin?
She knew when she was a child that she had a cousin who was a weirdo.

She was four years old at that time, and she returned to Suji for the Spring Festival. The remote mountain village was very boring. She walked to the entrance of the village alone and saw a boy sitting under the locust tree.

That boy is her cousin.

He is very strange, always sitting there talking to himself, not knowing who to chat with.

Many memories have been blurred, but Su Xiaoqin remembers that he was very happy talking to the air——

"Are there really gods in the mountains? Can my mother-in-law see monsters?"

People in the village passed by, and they were not surprised by the crazy and unreasonable wind under the locust tree.

It was only later that she found out that her cousin... might have a problem with his brain.

Everyone doesn't like him, at least the children in the village don't like him, she and Su He don't like him either, this man is too strange, and he always lies, she thinks no children like to play with him.

She didn't meet many times when she was a child, because the impression was too deep. That time at the entrance of the village was the only picture she had of this cousin.

When we met again, it was already in the sixth grade of elementary school.

The cousin who had a mental illness when he was a child has become a normal person. He is gentle and polite. He is no longer surprised. He can communicate with them well. He smiles very nicely. Dou Dizhu loses more and wins less.

"Cousin... Is there a fairy brother in the mountains?" She asked weakly, her voice was hoarse because of the fever, and although she felt inexplicable about the current situation, she was inexplicably peaceful.

Feng Wuli was stunned for a moment, realized that Su Xiaoqin had woken up, thought for a while and said, "I don't know, probably not."

"Why not?" She asked weakly, her mind was very dizzy.

"I didn't say that there must be no one. I think there is no one. You see that you got lost in the mountains, and some old people in the village went to worship Aunt Wang. If so, why didn't Aunt Wang come to you? Finally, I found it. You." Feng Wuli made a rare joke: "If there is a god, then I am your god today."

"Can you see monsters?"

"How can I see monsters?"

Su Xiaoqin suddenly felt very sorry, how could you not see it?
She has seen it all now!

Those grotesque monsters were right beside them, staring with their eyes open, whispering and murmuring their names.

So fucking scary!

"Cousin, I'm so scared..." She felt a little ashamed, she didn't know whether it was cold or scared, her body couldn't help shaking, she clutched at Feng Wuli's clothes, trying to stay awake.

"Don't be afraid." Feng Wuli said in a gentle voice, "It's fine."

If you can't see you, of course you are not afraid!

Why are you still calling my name, I don't know these monsters!
I am so hard...

Because of the fever, her whole mind was in chaos, and she slowly fell asleep on Feng Wuli's back.

When she woke up again, she was still on Feng Wuli's back, and she was still in the mountains, surrounded by chatter, she thought that those monsters were still around, but when she opened her eyes, she saw familiar faces in the village.

"I found I found it!"

"Here!" they shouted, and more and more people gathered.

The voices were noisy. It turned out that her cousin had already carried her to the wooden door standing alone on the mountain road. This meant that they were about to leave the mountain. The monsters in front of them and behind them were not the monsters they saw just before falling asleep, but the villagers who came to look for them.

None of the monsters were seen.

This made her wonder if what she just saw was a monster.

Or is it that she mistook people for demons.

She asked again: "Cousin, are there monsters in the world?"

Feng Wuli looked back at the mountain gate that was slowly closing, and the monsters that were crowded with traffic on the side of the mountain gate, thought for a while, and said, "There shouldn't be any."
