Chapter 10 Head Down

My aunt and I filled the grave and burned paper money to burn incense. On the way back to the village, we met Wang Mazi, who was thin and yellow in the village.

Wang Mazi is lazy and never goes down to grow crops. He mainly makes a living by catching snakes and hangs around outside all year round.

When he saw me, he smiled wretchedly with yellow teeth all over his mouth, "Bai Yao, I heard that many snakes crawled out of the coffin after your grandma passed away. Let me tell you, this snake has a strong desire for revenge, so you must be careful." Come on, don't get entangled by snakes! Otherwise, with such a watery figure, you will make the snake demon cheaper, and the gain will outweigh the loss!"

As soon as my aunt heard about the snake, her complexion became bad, and she spat and said angrily: "You have caught so many snakes and eaten so many snakes, even if there is a snake demon who wants to pester people, it must be the first!" haunt you."

"I have a good heart. Now is the season for snakes to mate, and those snakes are in heat!"

Wang Mazi's eyes were shining, and he looked at me with a lewd smile, "Bai Yao is as beautiful as a flower, so you have to be careful, it will be a pity if you don't get caught by those big male snakes."

There's no need to waste words with this kind of rascal, my aunt cursed a few ugly words, grabbed my arm and said, "Yaoyao, let's go."

It may be that my grandma’s bones were not cold yet, so my aunt dragged me into the village angrily. I looked back and saw that Wang Mazi was still standing on the path outside the village, with an ugly expression on his face, showing a lewd smile, and staring at the village without blinking. I.

I don't know if my eyes were dazzled, but in a trance, I saw a scarlet snake spit out of his mouth, and the lewd smile on that ugly face became more sinister and terrifying.

I shuddered inexplicably, and followed my aunt back home quickly.

When I opened the door, my aunt saw that my face was pale, and thought I was frightened by Wang Mazi's words, so she took my hand and said, "Yaoyao, don't believe his nonsense, Wang Mazi's family has lived by catching snakes for three generations, even if they die It is also to kill their family."

The turmoil of last night has dissipated, and the village still doesn't know what happened to grandma's dead body, otherwise it may be what it will be like.

After returning to the house, although the snake corpses in the mourning hall had been cleaned up, there was still a lingering snake smell.

My aunts and I started to clean the room and tidy up grandma’s belongings, but when we were dismantling the coffin shed in the courtyard, we saw villagers in twos and threes outside the courtyard gate, with nervous expressions, rushing to the east of the village.

My aunt and I couldn't help but feel worried when we saw the villagers' expressions were not right.

I was afraid that something might have happened in the village. At this moment, Qinghe's sister-in-law from the village on the village road outside the gate of the courtyard passed by, and she was still holding a vegetable basket in her hand.

I hurried out and grabbed her arm and asked, "Sister-in-law Qinghe, what happened?"

My grandma died so badly that people in the village are avoiding my family now. Qinghe's sister-in-law took a look at the coffin shed that had not been dismantled in grandma's house, and quickly refused to let go of my hand, took two steps back to the side, and looked at me up and down Two eyes, and then said, "Shu Erniang is dead!"

Erniang Shu is dead?
My head was dazed for a moment. Could it be that I was tortured to death by that centipede last night? I thought of the scene of Shu Erniang being tortured and miserable under the centipede old man.

I just felt nauseous, nauseous.

"How did she die?"

My face was full of surprise, but I was relieved in my heart. The death of Shu Erniang made me a little safer.

"I didn't know that. I was weeding in the vegetable garden just now, and I heard what your sixth aunt said."

People in the village love to join in the fun, and Qing and his sister-in-law were afraid that they would be late, so they said a few words to me, and hurried over with a vegetable basket.

"Let's go and have a look."

My aunt tugged on my sleeve and whispered to me.

Shu Erniang is not an ordinary person, and her death will never be simple.

Especially when I thought about the scenes I experienced last night, I pondered for a while, and I immediately nodded and said, "Okay!"

When we arrived at the hillside at the east end of the village, there was already a group of people around, but they all watched from a distance and dared not go forward.

The second uncle and several village officials stood in front of the crowd and glanced over there. The village chief asked in a low voice, "Who saw it?"

Mrs. Xu in the village raised her hand falteringly, saying that she was going to pour manure in the field in the morning, and she saw a figure there from afar.

At first, I thought someone's scarecrow had put it in their own field, but when I walked in and saw the clothes and shoes I was wearing, I felt something was wrong.

Mrs. Xu was so frightened that she told the villagers about the incident when she came back.

I looked through the crowd towards the field over there, feeling a little weird in my heart.

The senior senior next to the village head also noticed it, his face became a little nervous, and asked the village head in a low voice: "Uncle Shen, how many heads do you think there are in total?"

Even in the daytime, these words shocked the people around.

The village head was getting old, he raised his hand with a cigarette stick in his hand and knocked Senior Four on the head, cursing, "You really have no brains, of course you have one head..."

Before he finished speaking, the wind blew Erniang Shu's clothes in front of him, and he saw her in front of her, with her back to her shoulders and two heads on her shoulders.

The mountain wind howled, someone turned pale with fright, and unconsciously took several steps back.

I walked through the crowd, looked ahead, and saw a single shadow, but two black shadows on my shoulders, in pairs.

Few people in the village have seen strange things, and they have a deep taboo against such things, so they dare not go forward.

I don't know why, but now I'm a little scared of Shu Erniang, as if I'm guilty of a thief in my heart, I dare not look directly at her.

The fourth year of senior high school timidly took two steps forward boldly, and called Shu Erniang in a low voice. Seeing him getting closer, my heart beat more and more.

When there were four or five meters away, the wind suddenly picked up, and with a snort, I saw that the clothes on Erniang Shu in front were blown off, and my eyes were straightened.

Senior Senior shouted hoarsely, "Er Niang Shu!"

Before he finished speaking, he stopped abruptly, without the cover of the coat, a circle of white was reflected, in the middle, there was a person with his legs upright, motionless.

It's like two branches of a tree. From a distance, it looks like two heads.

Headed onion.

This person stood there as if he was standing upside down!

Like planting a sapling, Shu Erniang's head and shoulders were planted into the ground, her toes were straightened, I suppressed the fear in my heart.

Two villagers came from behind, boldly trying to drag the half of the person out of the ground, but who knew how she got in, and she couldn't pull it out after several tugs.

As soon as some women came over, they turned pale with fright when they saw Erniang Shu who was upside down.

A few more daring ones came and used their hands to scrape away the dirt around Shu Erniang's shoulders and dragged the body out. If it wasn't for the clothes she was wearing, it would be hard to tell it was her.

It was so far away, I didn't dare to look at Erniang Shu's face, because when I picked up the soil just now, the surrounding soil was full of old stubble.

In other words, it wasn't someone else who buried Shu Erniang here, it was more like she was dragged in by something, or directly thrown into it.

But after all, he saw her face.

His tongue was sticking out, his eyes were hollow and lifeless, and his death was extremely tragic. The key point was that there was not a single hair on the scalp that was full of rotten sores.
