Chapter 105: The Cave of Sorrow (14) Pick up the axe and chop the blind man...
Wei Wei didn't see anyone through the door mirror, so he opened the door and looked into the corridor.
A girl happened to pass by, and Wei Wei asked: "Little girl, did you see who kicked our door just now?"
The little girl dodged and avoided Wei Wei's hand that was trying to grab her arm.
Wei Wei's hand hovered in the air, and he withdrew it awkwardly: "Don't be nervous, I'm not a bad person."
"A man wearing a wedding dress doesn't mind being shabby, and he still says he's not a bad person." The little girl muttered, "I didn't see anyone outside your door just now."
Gao Mengtang poked her head out from behind and said, "Someone did kick our door just now, little girl, did you hear the sound?"
He is handsome and has been loved by everyone since he was young. Female classmates would always give him two extra spicy strips when they bought a bag of spicy strips. However, he never expected that he would run into a wall with girls.
When she saw Gao Mengtang, her face suddenly changed. She gritted her teeth and cursed, "You deserve a horrible death!" Then she turned around and ran away.
Gao Mengtang's smile froze: "Huh?"
No, a bad death?
The person has already run away, and we can't catch him back to argue with him. Gao Mengtang shook his head: "Let's go, let's go and capture Xin Tong first."
When they arrived at Xin Tong's room, they found that she had just shot some footage and was sorting it out. Gao Mengtang used some photography knowledge to chat with her for a while and then got down to business.
"Wu Feng wants you to go back to the village." Gao Mengtang said.
Xin Tong put the camera down on the table in frustration: "Xiao Meng, don't try to persuade me."
"No need to persuade me," Gao Mengtang waved his hands repeatedly, "I'm afraid you'll be depressed, so I brought you a small gift."
He held out a straw kitten.
When collecting soil from door to door, every family would give Wei Wei some gifts, ranging from valuables such as gold, silver and jewelry to ordinary handmade trinkets.
I don't know which family stuffed the straw kitten in there, but Freesia thought it was cute and kept it for fun. All the other gifts were taken away by Miss Xiuhong.
Now is the perfect time to offer flowers to Buddha.
It was rare to encounter setbacks, and Gao Mengtang's beauty was invincible. Although his eyes were distracted, his eyebrows were curved and full of warmth. The straw kitten, with its tail up and ears erect, was held in his hands like a treasure, which was more exciting than any gift.
Xin Tong's face flushed instantly, she smiled with her lips pursed, and picked up the straw kitten: "So cute."
System: "NPC Xin Tong's favorability towards [000 Blind Man] has increased."
Pegana said something stupid: "This man has the face of an angel but the heart of a devil. Wake up!"
After talking about this and that for a while, Gao Mengtang didn't know much about photography, so he focused on the inheritance and history of art and photography. Xin Tong gradually smiled, and the topic naturally turned to the death of Wu Feng's father.
"Wu Feng said that his father's death was strange..." Xin Tong sighed.
Similar to Xingzi's family, Wu Feng's sister married the Ghost Doctor, and the family lost one person to collect herbs, and their income dropped sharply. Wu Feng's parents went up the mountain to collect herbs together to support him to study.
On a rainy night, the two men picked up paper man grass and walked home. Suddenly, they saw a girl in white clothes standing in the middle of the mountain road.
The fairy in white, wearing a veil and a veil on her head, asked with a smile: "Do you want to go to heaven and see Lady Wu?"
Afterwards, a puff of green smoke dissipated.
Xin Tong: "Wu Feng is a college student after all. She can bring some new knowledge to her parents, and they have more experience. Wu Feng's mother recalled that it was not very clear on a rainy night, but she could vaguely see that the little girl was wearing a gas mask behind her veil and hat."
The girl wearing the gas mask was safe and sound, but Wu Feng's parents were knocked unconscious.
Wei Wei said through the telepathic link: "Xingzi's family was poisoned with anthrax, and now there are gas masks. If it was really a demonic rebellion, the method would not be so modern."
Gao Mengtang agreed. They continued to listen to Xin Tong's talk.
After being poisoned by the gas, Wu Feng's mother woke up first. She saw several people surrounding them with knives in their hands. She was so scared that she ran away in panic.
When people are in desperate situations, they can unleash terrible strength. Wu Feng's mother was a farm woman who worked all year round and had great strength. Several people failed to hold her down and let her run back to the village.
Gao Mengtang asked quickly: "Which road did you take to get back to the village?"
Xin Tong shook her head: "Just listen to me..."
After returning to the village, Wu Feng was still in shock and had severe abdominal pain. She had a miscarriage. Only then did she realize that she was already two months pregnant.
Wu Feng was so heartbroken that she cried out loudly. When it was almost dawn, she heard a thud in the yard. She mustered up the courage to go out and take a look. She screamed "Ah!" and fainted on the spot.
The person thrown in turned out to be her husband, who had been disemboweled, all his organs removed, leaving only bones and flesh!!
After being frightened several times in succession, Wu Feng's mother became stupid and foolish. She could not recall the details of what happened on the rainy night and could only remember the general idea.
Looking back, Mother Wu always had a dull look on her face, was slow to react, and was absent-minded. It turned out that she was frightened silly.
This matter alarmed Miss Xiuhong. She came to see him several times, but kept shaking her head, saying that it was incurable. Wu Feng's mother had treated Wu Ting harshly when she was alive. Wu Ting married the Ghost Doctor and whispered in his ear. This was the Ghost Doctor's punishment for her.
The experience of Wu Feng's family frightened the villagers so much that for the next two or three years, they dared not favor boys over girls, for fear that a girl they looked down upon might one day marry the ghost doctor and instigate her partner to take their lives.
"Oh, this is a great thing." said Wei Wei.
Gao Mengtang said in panic: "Well, that doesn't really count. Wu Feng's parents are one dead and one crazy."
"Yes! Of course it counts!" Xin Tong slammed the table, "The death of the little cerebellum guy is of course a good thing!"
Gao Mengtang wanted to say that they had no choice. They grew up in an environment like Changming Village, and were soaked in the dye vat. How could they have any correct thoughts? Over the years, they themselves became the dye vat. But he also felt that this was defending the perpetrator, which was unfair to Wu Ting, and he was afraid that Xin Tong would be angry, so he kept silent.
After finding out the news and comforting Xin Tong for a while, they returned to the next room.
"Do you feel that those who are 'chosen' by the Ghost Doctor have some... regrets?" Gao Mengtang asked after closing the door.
Xingzi was ugly and Wu Ting became a cripple. Both of them were flawed and were not liked by their parents.
Another point worth noting is that when the Fairy in White came back to seek revenge, she was obviously targeting both parents, but only one of them was killed. I don't know if it was because the Ghost Doctor Fairy was merciful or for some other reason.
In the afternoon, they visited several more families and found that the situation like Xingzi and Wu Feng's family was rare. Most of the families whose daughters married the ghost doctor fairy died suddenly after encountering the fairy in white. There were also some families where the mother died but the father survived.
Pegana had just stolen a chicken and was lying on the ground picking his teeth: "The people under this ghost doctor are not skilled in their work. They are so careless when they are trying to take my life."
If the Ghost Doctor really had boundless magical powers and protected Changming Village for hundreds of years, how could he kill people without any reason?
This further confirmed Gao Mengtang and Wei Wei's conjecture: the Ghost Doctor Immortal probably does not exist.
"We happened to arrive at Xingzi's house. Let's go in and sit for a while," said Wei Wei.
He was still wearing his wedding dress and was welcomed by the villagers wherever he went. Xingzi's mother had lost her child and her husband, and she was depressed all day long, so she would be more than happy to have someone to chat with her.
After a brief exchange of greetings, Wei Wei got to the point: "Mother-in-law, think carefully again, what did you do when you met the fairy in white that morning?"
Xingzi's mother was gloomy. "I didn't do anything. I took the meat from the warehouse and cooked the meal. Before the meal, I had a quarrel with the old man. He scolded me for not being able to give birth to a son, and I got angry. Halfway through the meal, I met the little girl in white clothes."
If nothing unexpected happens, the anthrax bacteria must have been added to the food. They were eating the same food, so why did Xingzi's mother develop a painless scab while Xingzi's father vomited blood and died?
Gao Mengtang pointed at the teacup with her index finger, and an idea suddenly occurred to her: "Mother-in-law, you cooked the meal that morning. How much did you eat?"
"What are you eating?" Xingzi's mother slapped her thigh. "A man scolded me for not being able to have children, and I should eat? I'm just angry. I'm so angry that I'm full."
No wonder, Xingzi's mother ate less, so the symptoms of poisoning were mild and she survived.
After leaving Xingzi's house, Wei Wei exhaled a cigarette slowly: "In this case, there must be a reason why Wu Feng's mother was able to survive. Could it be that she stood farther away and inhaled less poisonous gas?"
After mumbling for a while, Wei Wei suddenly said, "That's right! Wu Feng's mother was pregnant at the time. In the early stages of pregnancy, the mother's blood oxygen content will increase and metabolism will accelerate! Her symptoms of poisoning will be milder."
Gao Mengtang was surprised: "You know this too?"
Wei Wei smiled bitterly: "Gu Kang...has used many living people to make Gu, including pregnant women. I have some knowledge of the human body."
In the evening, I returned to the hotel in town, washed up, and was safe for the time being.
Worried that Wei Wei might sleepwalk, they locked the doors and windows, put away sharp objects, and laid soft cushions everywhere. At night, the three of them went to bed early.
Gao Mengtang dozed with his eyes closed. Not surprisingly, Wei Wei rustled up from the bed just a few minutes after he fell asleep.
"Gu...Kang..." the man mumbled incoherently in his sleep.
Since it was a dream, it was inevitable that some of the real thoughts in his heart would be revealed. Gao Mengtang listened attentively. He really didn't want to pry into the privacy, but he felt that the matter of Gu Kang had always been a knot in Wei Wei's heart. If he could help him solve it, it would be a good thing.
Irregular footsteps, thump, thump, thump. Wei Wei was wandering around the room.
"You, why…"
He mumbled a long string of words, but unfortunately, Gao Mengtang couldn't hear clearly.
Boom, boom, boom, boom.
"I'm sorry."
The faint light in the dark night shone through the gap in the curtains and fell on Wei Wei's face. He stared with his eyes wide open, walked to the table and sat down.
"I...betrayed...and killed."
Gao Mengtang was confused. Did I betray you? Did I kill you? According to what he saw and heard in the illusion, Wei Wei had never betrayed him. How could this be true?
The footsteps became louder and louder. The cool night breeze poured in through the window cracks, blowing on Gao Mengtang's arms, and he huddled deeper into the quilt.
Listening to the footsteps and Wei Wei's mumbling in his sleep, Gao Mengtang gradually felt sleepy. When he was half asleep, he was suddenly surprised to break out in a cold sweat.
wrong!
The footsteps are wrong!
The footsteps were too dense! Unless Wei Wei was tap dancing, there shouldn't be such rapid "dong dong" sounds. Gao Mengtang woke up instantly and closed his eyes to listen.
Some footsteps were heavy, some were lighter. It didn't sound like the footsteps of one person.
There were two or three people walking around in the room.
"Freesia?" He reached over and saw Freesia and Pegana, hugging each other and sleeping soundly.
What are those other two things moving around the room?
Gao Mengtang opened his eyes hurriedly, but could not see anything clearly. A cold air blew towards his eyeballs.
"whee."
“Hehehe.”
The two laughters, one high and one low, were as eerie as the cry of a night owl in the dead of night. They sang with a smile.
"I picked up the axe and chopped my father to pieces, one bloody flower after another. When my mother asked me what I was doing, I chopped her to death again!"
"whee."
“Chuckle, chuckle.”
"hey-hey."
Gao Mengtang curled up in the quilt and pretended to be asleep, secretly listening for footsteps, waiting to launch a surprise attack when they got close.
The footsteps of the three people were intertwined, making it difficult to distinguish them, and a cool air blew over my ears from time to time.
"I picked up an axe and chopped my aunt, then stewed her into hot broth. My grandfather was so scared that he cried, and I buried him in the ground, too."
"Take up the axe and chop the blind man..."
Gao Mengtang: ...That's not necessary. There's a real blind man here.
Two strange footsteps were getting closer and closer, and Gao Mengtang tensed up, ready to strike.
The childish voice sang a pleasant nursery rhyme, but the lyrics were chilling.
"Take up the axe and chop the blind man, chop the blind man into a bride. The bride sits on the sedan chair and leaves her hometown with a creaking sound."
As the last syllable fell, footsteps sounded close to the bedside. Gao Mengtang suddenly stood up and headed towards the place where the sound came from. At the same time, a chill slid across his cheek.
With a loud bang, Gao Mengtang felt the bed sink a bit.
His ability to locate the location by listening to the sound was still a little lacking, and he only felt a cool and smooth edge of clothing. The hee hee, hee hee laughter gradually faded away.
Gao Mengtang slowed down and reached out to touch the place where the bed had sunk.
There was a chill at the fingertips, and Gao Mengtang first smelled a faint scent of human blood. He twisted his fingers and felt a sharp pain.
"Smells good, smells good!" Freesia woke up and drooled. She looked carefully and shouted, "Blood!"
"Gege! Blood!"
She jumped out of bed and punched Wei Wei twice to wake him up.
Wei Wei just regained consciousness and turned around, his face changed with fear. An axe fell on the bed, right where Gao Mengtang had just been lying!
If Gao Mengtang hadn't stood up suddenly, his head would have been split in half! He just reached out and touched the axe blade, cutting his fingers.
"What, what's going on?" Wei Wei quickly bandaged him.
Gao Mengtang recounted his experience just now.
"Could it be that there really is a ghost?" Wei Wei frowned, "Don't you have offensive skills? How did you get hurt by them?"
Gao Mengtang smiled soothingly: "It's better to be careful when you hit a rat. I can't see clearly, and if I hit you by accident, it will be more harm than good. Don't worry, it's just a minor injury."
Just a light touch and his fingertips were cut open. You can imagine how sharp the axe was. Wei Wei was frightened and quickly pulled out the axe, turned on the light, and carefully checked it.
"Is there anything unusual?" Gao Mengtang asked.
Wei Wei shook his head: "No. Just an ordinary axe that has been sharpened to a point."
After bandaging himself, Gao Mengtang crawled into bed, found a bed board that was not damaged by the axe, and closed his eyes peacefully.
"Can you sleep?" Wei Wei asked woodenly.
"Sure," Gao Mengtang said, "You should also go to bed early."
Wei Wei: “You were almost hacked to death.”
Gao Mengtang found a comfortable position and muttered, "What are you afraid of? According to the routine of horror movies, haunted creatures won't come twice in one night. They won't come until tomorrow night."
Wei Wei: ...
