Deep mountains and forests, Tomb sweeping Day.
What does this remind us of?
sweep the tombs.
On this basis, add a stone niche dedicated to strange stones, and hang a ring of red rope around it.
I guess it's not just about tomb sweeping
The atmosphere of terror came out at once.
Chen Lusi stood in the middle of the rugged stream, raised his hand, made a photo gesture, and looked at the stone niche not far away through the middle gap.
The stone niche is located next to the gully edge of the stream. It looks small and square, with a stone slab as the cover and stone strips on both sides as the support.
The central offering is a stone with a slightly strange shape, like a baby.
Such a conspicuous creation.
Then on that circle of red rope that naturally makes people uneasy.
Anyone who has seen it will have to say it thoroughly
But actually.
This is just a stone niche for mountain gods. Even the people who built this niche are still alive.
A scary stone niche in the deep mountain.
To put it bluntly, it is the old age manual work created by the stone worship custom.
Think of this.
Chen Lusi himself was amused by the saying that the elderly version did it by hand.
He put down his hand, walked forward to the stone niche, then squatted down, facing the stone, and bowed.
"I hope I can have a smooth year in the next year... If it's too bad, I can go down the mountain smoothly."
Chen Lusi didn't believe that.
But there is a good saying that everyone has come
Most importantly, he lost his way.
Go up the mountain to sweep the tomb, but can't find the way down the mountain.
Until now, several cousins at the foot of the mountain are still teaching him how to go down the mountain.
He is also a dead horse as a live horse doctor.
However, when Chen Lusi finished his wish, he couldn't hold his breath.
After all, if we really want to realize our wishes and worship so many ancestors, how could it be more useful than this inexplicably created mountain god?
... In the final analysis, it is psychological comfort.
"What a fool."
Chen Lusi looked at the strange stone, clapped his hands, and then stood up with his knees.
But I don't know whether it is squatting too long or too fast after strenuous exercise.
Stand up.
Chen Lusi felt as if he had been hit by a hammer at the back of his head... A great sense of dizziness suddenly hit him, and his sight was instantly deprived.
He was black in front of his eyes. He staggered back a few steps and almost sat down.
Stumbling, I managed to stabilize my body.
Chen Lusi quickly squatted down again, closed his eyes, and began to breathe.
Until the feeling of dizziness gradually began to fade.
He opened his eyes again... But it seemed that there was a layer of fog in front of him. With the residual dizziness, he still could not see clearly.
And heaven and earth revolve.
Chen Lusi noticed the scene that made his heart stop suddenly.
Not far away.
The shape of the stone niche in the middle is very strange, like a baby's stone, as if it had come back to life.
The protruding part at the top like a human head is smiling while leaning forward
As if to touch him.
“……”
instantaneous.
Chen Lusi felt his heart stopped.
He was stunned for half a second, closed his eyes again, and rubbed his temples hard.
When he opens his eyes again.
The dizziness disappeared.
The fog that separated my eyes also disappeared.
The stone niche is still that stone niche, and the stone is still stone.
It did not smile or move.
Everything was like an illusion when I was dizzy.
But.
Back to the question at the beginning
Tomb sweeping Day, deep mountains and forests, scary stone niches.
What does this remind us of?
Chen Lusi looked away from the stone niche, stood up slowly, and then... turned and walked away.
Although he was willing to believe that it was an illusion, he was still a bit scary in the mountains.
He has no mind to explore and ponder over why there is such illusion, and he does not want to explore.
He would rather tell it to others later as a story, rather than find an answer in the mountains.
In short.
Let's go down the mountain first.
Chen Lusi walked along the stream and began to walk down the mountain quickly.
walk as if on wings.
But with the distance from the stone niche getting farther and farther, the remaining amazement and fright became less and less.
After running a long way.
Chen Lusi's pace gradually slowed down.
Because so far, nothing has happened.
This made him more convinced that what he had just seen was an illusion.
"Scare yourself."
Chen Lusi stopped completely, looked back at the location of the stone niche, and laughed at himself.
But the voice just dropped.
Suddenly, he realized something——
The voices of several cousins seem to have disappeared.
Then go further.
He found that the common chirping of insects and birds in the mountain forest seemed to have disappeared.
The whole mountain.
It seems to lose 'vitality' in an instant.
Only the rustle of the wind blowing through the leaves and branches was left.
“……”
Chen Lusi froze and slowly put away all the expressions on his face.
He trotted straight up.
But deep in the mountains and forests, there are really surprises everywhere.
It's like the sound of the wheels rolling over the fallen leaves and running over the soil... suddenly.
The mountain forest that had lost its' vitality 'suddenly sounded such a vivid voice, which immediately attracted Chen Lusi's attention.
On the trot, he couldn't help turning his head and looking to the left.
then.
He saw a wheelchair... It was a very old folding wheelchair. The wheel looked deformed. The steel tube as the skeleton was covered with rust, and the leather cushion and backrest also had signs of falling off.
At the moment, it is slowly rolling down the hillside, as if following Chen Lusi's steps.
“……”
Chen Lusi looked at the wheelchair and was silent.
Suddenly, footsteps came from the right side.
Chen Lusi slowly turned his head.
A man in a suit and leather shoes, with his hands behind his back, was walking down calmly.
Visually, we should be walking side by side with him.
It looks normal.
If you ignore his elegant suit and his old pendulum clock, which is nearly half a meter long and acts as the head.
“……”
Chen Lusi took a deep breath, looked ahead, and made up his mind that he would not turn his head to look at any sound next.
The strange sound came for the third time.
This time, he appeared beside him.
Chen Lusi did not look askance, and even if the other side walked fast, he soon caught up with him.
He still chose to pretend that he didn't notice anything.
It just froze for more than ten seconds.
The sound of footsteps disappeared.
In the front, the familiar scenery came into sight, and he was almost at the foot of the mountain.
Chen Lusi could not help sighing, but his anger had not yet changed.
Just slowed down.
Straight ahead.
A few meters away.
A figure appeared in the middle of the stream abruptly, like a ghost or cloud.
That's a girl.
She stood in the center of the stream, dressed in a thin white dress, standing quietly, with an inexplicable air of inspiration and holiness.
... In other words.
It seems that there is no entity, just like a female ghost.
“…………”
When Chen Lusi saw the girl, his slow pace stopped completely.
He stood at a distance of more than two meters from the other side, then bent down and held his knee, while he bowed his head and gasped for breath, thinking about the countermeasures.
The other side didn't make a fool of himself, but made a straight shot.
It seems that I can't hide.
Think of this.
Tremor, panic, shock, fear
All kinds of emotions generated by the weird experience disappeared one by one along the way.
Chen Lusi looked at the shoes, relaxed slowly, then straightened up slowly, looked at the girl standing in front of him, and suggested, "Although I don't understand why ghosts in the traditional sense are so punk... But if you want my dog's life, you can go straight ahead, and there's no need to panic. It's really tiring.
You can make me think I am walking on a flat road, and then let me fall off the cliff, and then arrange a sharp stake at the bottom of the cliff.
“……”
The girl not far away did not move.
Chen Lusi waited patiently for a while, but still did not respond. The other side did not disappear or speak.
He could only speak again and discuss: "If you don't want my life, let me go. It's too humiliating to die here. It feels like asking for it... If there is something wrong in the mountain, I will accompany you."
“……”
The girl not far away finally had a reaction.
She took a step forward.
Then Chen Lusi found out.
The girl did not wear shoes, and her snow-white and small bare feet directly stepped on the stream and the smooth stones.
It hurts when you look at it.
But the girl seems to have no feeling, and her white and beautiful face has no expression... Look carefully, the ghost is pretty.
She took a step forward, then slowly raised her hand, stretched out her white finger, and pointed to the position of the top of the mountain behind Chen Lusi.
"I just said the old man's manual... You don't want me to climb the mountain again, do you? You might as well let me die now."
Chen Lusi followed his opponent's fingers and turned his head to look behind his eyes. The burning sensation in his lungs after intense exercise made him clench his fists.
The fist hardened.
But when he had finished speaking, he turned around.
There is no girl near here.
“……”
Chen Lusi was stunned.
Next second.
Vertigo and a short sense of falling suddenly hit.
The lost voice and anger reappeared.
Including the impatient cry of my cousin at the foot of the mountain.
Chen Lusi staggers back a few steps again.
Just recovered.
The sudden sound of a machete made him excited.
He jerked his head around.
But the expected grotesque picture did not appear. Instead, several men like iron towers appeared in his sight.
Notice the military uniform of the other party.
Although Chen Lusi was surprised that they would appear here, he suddenly relaxed.
The other party apparently noticed Chen Lusi.
The leader took a look at Chen Lusi, put away his machete and asked curiously, "Are you here to sweep the tomb?"
Yes
Chen Lusi answered subconsciously.
"Go down the road we drove. I just went up the mountain and saw someone shouting. Is it waiting for you?"
When the other party heard the exact answer, he nodded and then asked again.
"It should be."
Chen Lusi answered, then climbed up the high slope of the stream and came to the other side.
The other side signaled the others to get out of the way down the mountain.
"... By the way, did you meet anyone else when you went down the mountain?"
Chen Lusi was just going to walk through the crowd when the leader suddenly asked what came to mind.
Chen Lusi immediately stopped, opened his mouth, and wanted to say something.
But when I saw the standard military uniform on the other side, I didn't dare to say anything.
what did you say?
Said that he met a man with a clock head, a wheelchair, a girl in white, and a ghost who didn't know what it looked like?
Is that human?
"... none."
final.
Chen Lusi shook his head, didn't say anything, but planned to go back and ask the old people in the village.
"Then you can go down the mountain and be careful along the way." The leader didn't say anything more, but told him to be careful.
Chen Lusi nodded and was about to leave, but before he left, he looked at the people who continued to open the road and asked, "Excuse me, are you...... Again?"
The leader was stunned when he heard the words, and then calmly replied, "To prevent mountain fires."
