Raising Ghosts Records

Chapter 21 The Winged Dog
After wandering around for a morning, I went home to kill chickens and cook rice at noon. The pot was rusty and had to be cleaned several times. This house, which had been vacant for more than a month, felt like home only after the stove was lit.

Four or five catties of big fat chickens are boiled in boiling soup, and a few wild mushrooms are thrown in. The smell is so fragrant that it seems that one bite can make you ascend to immortality. A chicken leg was eaten first.Not long after eating the chicken legs, I fished out the whole chicken and ate it with my mouth full of oil. It was so delicious.

You can only work when you are full. Tonight I have to deal with a monster that I don’t know what it is. It can eat up a big whip-tailed scorpion that is so big and hangs so high. I really can’t figure it out , What exactly is this monster, and where can it hide in my house.

I searched every nook and cranny of the house, except for the roof tiles, but found nothing except a few mice.

After washing in the evening, my aunt came up and asked me to have dinner. I just said that I had eaten, and I would go tomorrow night!After my aunt left, I started laying traps.

The trap I set up is also very simple, I only use rope, and set a circle at the entrance and exit of each room. As long as the monster steps into the rope circle and I pull it, it will be tied, and then I will take the needle to Hit it, and it won't run away.

This needle was dug out from the mountain by the immortals of the sorceress Zhang's family. I don't know what dynasty it is, but it looks like the hairpin used by the ancients to tie their hair.This needle looks very ordinary. If it falls on the ground, no one will pick it up. It has no name. It is time to give it a name, let's call it "nameless needle"!

After the trap was set, I also wanted to find a place to hide. I took a big snakeskin bag to cover myself, leaving only a hole the size of an egg to observe the outside.

Everything is ready, but the monster won't come out so early, at least until one or two o'clock!During this period, I didn't have anything to do, so I reminded Tongtong to stand guard and let me go to sleep first, and asked her to wake me up around twelve o'clock.

Maybe it was the restlessness in my heart, I couldn't sleep all the time, I got up even after lying down on the bed, went to the small shop in the village to buy some melon seeds and candies, and came back to eat, and it was twelve o'clock in a while.

Like the whip-tailed scorpion last night, I tied the chicken by its feet and hung it on a bamboo pole for drying clothes at the door of the kitchen, and then I put on a big snakeskin bag and hid in a corner.

The corner where I hid was about five meters away from the bamboo pole where the chicken was tied. I held a needle in one hand and a flashlight in the other, but it was not lit.The chicken was tied up and struggled wildly for a while, and finally stopped struggling when it got tired, and the surroundings became quiet.

After waiting for more than two hours, when the ben clock in the hall struck 02:30, a huge figure passed over the roof.This figure was two meters wide and one meter long, like a big kite.It flew over the roof in one fell swoop, and I didn't have time to see it clearly, but it was definitely scary enough.

What the hell is that? Could it be the monster that ate the whiptail scorpion last night? Isn't it hiding in my house?Just as a series of questions appeared in my mind, that huge black shadow flew back again.

This time it didn't fly over, but flew directly to the courtyard, and jumped straight at the chicken. Because of its two big wings flapping up and down, there was quite a gust of wind in the courtyard.

The monster bit the chicken hanging on the bamboo pole, trying to break the rope that tied the chicken, but the chicken was also struggling, which made me anxious.I didn't expect this monster to fly in mid-air, so the rope traps at the entrances and exits of the various rooms are useless.

There is no trap to catch it, shall I go out?Will there be any danger!Just when I was hesitating whether to take off the snakeskin bag on my head and rush up, Tong Tong appeared without permission.

Tongtong was originally a water ghost. Although she could appear at night on land, it was only on the first and fifteenth day of the lunar new year. Normally, she could only show up for a few seconds. Now she swayed and rode on the monster's back .

I quickly turned on the flashlight, tore off the snakeskin bag on my body, and shone the flashlight on the monster, only then did I see its appearance clearly.

I saw that this monster looked like a dog, with two big bat-like wings on its body, no tail, and its body was about the size of a domestic dog. Its four legs were like sloths with black and long nails.

The monster saw that the rope was constantly being pulled, another child was riding on his back, and there was another me holding a flashlight on the ground, so he gave up on the chicken, flapped its wings vigorously, and flew away over the roof.

Tongtong is still riding on it!I quickly chased it out, and as soon as I chased it up the mountain along the path in the village, I lost the trace of the monster.As soon as the monster disappeared, I didn't know what to do now. If I didn't chase after it, Tongtong would still be riding on that monster!If you chase it, you don't know where it went.I shone with a flashlight randomly on the mountain, but I didn't dare to call Tongtong. This place is only a few hundred meters away from the village, so I was afraid of waking up the villagers.

Just when I didn't know whether to go home or chase after her, Tongtong came back. She was floating in the air, her body was glowing with a faint green light, and her figure was faintly visible.I hurriedly asked her if she had caught up with that monster. Tongtong told me that she was riding on that monster. It flew very fast, flew over two hills, and then flew into a hole. It probably belonged to it. lair.Tongtong said that she wanted to continue chasing, but saw a corpse in the cave, so she came out, anyway, she knew that this monster lived in this cave.

And corpses?I asked Tong Tong what kind of corpse it was. Tong Tong told me that it was a man's corpse. He couldn't see his face on the ground, and he didn't know his age, let alone his appearance. 30 or so.

I don't know why, but when I heard Tong Tong say this, I wondered if the corpse could be my uncle, but didn't my aunt say that he had gone out of town before the Chinese New Year?Impossible to appear in the cave!Although my uncle treats me badly, I definitely don't want him to die. At least he is a relative, the biological son of my grandparents, and my mother's younger brother.

I asked Tongtong to lead the way, climbed over two hills, and found a cave at the foot of a small hill.The entrance of this cave is not big, less than two meters high, but at least eight meters wide, split at the foot of the mountain like a small mouth.The entrance of the cave was covered with vines and moss, and the flashlight shone into the dark hole, but nothing could be seen.

I didn't go in rashly, only a fool would do that. At dawn the next day, I went to the town police station to call the police. The town police station then reported to the County Public Security Bureau, and five policemen and a jeep police car were sent over.People in the village saw that I came back with so many policemen, but they didn't know what happened. The villagers stood in front of their houses to watch the excitement and talked a lot.

When I reported the case, I said that the body was in the cave, so the policemen also came with all their equipment.Needless to say, pistols, ropes, police flashlights, daggers, kettles, etc., and I also carry willow figures, bronze knives, and the needle without a name.When I reported the case, I also said that there was a bat the size of a dog in the cave, and its wings were as big as a door, but the police were dubious and said that a tiger with a gun would not be afraid.After walking through the village and getting off the car, I led the police over two mountains and came to the cave.

This looks like a dirt mountain, but the surface is only covered with mud. From the huge rocks washed out by the water at the foot of the mountain, it is known that this mountain is still made of stones.I had never seen this cave when I was a child. Perhaps the entrance of the cave was exposed due to the collapse of the soil due to heavy rain in the past two years.

This place is a paradise for wasps. People who came here to chop wood have been stung to death several times in the past few decades. As time passed, no one dared to come here, so no one knew about the collapse of the cave.But how could there be a dead body inside?This needs to be investigated by the police to find out.

The policemen put on gloves and other protection against insects and snake bites at the entrance of the cave. Four policemen turned on their flashlights and walked into the cave, leaving a young policeman and me at the entrance of the cave.

I insisted on going in, but the police refused to let me tell me how deep the body was in the cave, but I didn't know, Tong Tong only told me that it was in the cave.I saw that the police were obviously not happy, but they could only bite the bullet and sneak in.

The police guard outside the cave asked me how I knew there was a corpse in the cave, and I told him that I came here to catch stalagmites and saw it, and I had already mentioned it in the police station.

This policeman is only 21 years old, and he gave me thumbs up again and again, saying that you are really brave enough!
We waited outside the cave all morning, and the four policemen who entered the cave hadn't come out yet, so we were really sitting or standing while waiting.The young policeman wanted to go in alone several times, but he didn't dare. I said I could go in with him, but he refused to let me go in, so the afternoon wasted again.

Seeing that it was getting dark, nothing would happen to the policemen who entered the cave!The young policeman was just a kid, only five or six years older than me, so he ran around in a hurry.At that time, it was different than now. There was no communication tool, and there was no way to call for support.

I can't wait like this, the four policemen who entered the cave didn't come out, and the young policemen turned around in a hurry, I rushed into the cave while he was not paying attention.

To be honest, I'm not very scared. First, there are four policemen with guns inside. Second, I have an ancient bronze knife to deal with ghosts, an unknown needle to deal with demons, and water that has eaten more than a dozen virgins. Ghost - Huang Tongtong.

Seeing me rushing into the cave, the young policeman called me to stop, and chased after me, and also followed into the cave.By the time he caught up with me, he had entered the hole three to 400 meters.I brought a flashlight with two batteries. The lighting effect in the cave was very poor, and I could only see things three meters in front of me.After the young policeman came in, he gave me a police flashlight, which was bright enough to see at a distance of 100 meters.

Once you come in, you won’t go out again. We observed the cave while walking, and saw pillar-like stalagmites plunging into the ground from the roof of the five-story building, and there were many stalagmites as thin as chopsticks, each of which was two meters long. , if it falls straight down and inserts into the head, it can be inserted from the top of the head to the heel.

Unknowingly, we walked for 10, [-], [-] minutes, but still did not see the four policemen who came in before. At this moment, a three-way intersection appeared in front of us.When we didn't know which way to go, the young policeman patted me on the shoulder. I turned my head and looked in the direction of his finger, only to see a male corpse lying on the ground.
