Chapter 134 Don't Go Out When It's Dark
Chapter 134 Don’t go out when it’s dark
I stared at him warily and said in a deep voice: "It has nothing to do with you, you don't need to know."
There was another moment of silence, but at this time he had slowly walked out of the shadow of the tree. Although he still couldn't see his face clearly, he stretched out his hand, pointed at the puppet next to me and said, "Tell me, what's the matter with the puppet on the ground?"
Is it a puppet or an old lady?"
When I heard what he said, a chill ran down my back.
Without waiting for him to continue speaking, I slowly backed away, wanting to leave this place.
But who would have thought that before I took a few steps, my feet suddenly went soft and I felt a hand tug on my ankle.
His whole center of gravity was unstable, and he fell to the ground in one fell swoop, right next to the puppet's head.
The huge puppet head stared at me, with the corners of its mouth split open, as if it was showing me an extremely weird smile.
What made me even more frightened was that there were rustling footsteps behind me. The man in white had already come closer and asked behind me: "You haven't answered me yet. Is it a puppet on the ground or an old lady?"
"Are you blind?"
I was a little frustrated, holding the snake charm tightly in my pocket with one hand.
I regretted leaving my cloth bag at Grandma Liu's house.
The man in white seemed to laugh, but did not make any move. Instead, he told me from behind: "Since what you saw is a puppet, you should burn it."
I looked up suspiciously, not understanding why he said that.
When I turned my head, I saw that although the man in white was standing behind me, his back was still facing me.
"You want me to burn the puppets?" I frowned.
At this time, I felt that the man in white didn't have any ill intentions toward me.
The man in white turned his back to me but did not turn around. He did not answer my words. Instead, he continued to say: "This is not the place you should be! I will tell you a few things now. You must
Remember, otherwise, you will never be able to leave this village."
When the man in white said this, he turned his head slightly, seemed to glance at me from the corner of his eye, and then said to me in a low voice: "At night, you go out of the village to the river and go north! You will meet
I met a very short old man. He is a good man, has a good temper and is very patient."
"After you see him, do as he says, and he will treat you to tea, and then you can leave here."
"Also, regarding the time here, the time here is not accurate. It is five minutes faster than what you see!"
"Finally, a kind of monster will come out of the river at night. They will look like humans and imitate other people's voices. After twelve o'clock, they may enter the village."
I suddenly thought of the village rule that Grandma Liu told me: Don’t turn your back to others when speaking, and you must turn around.
Villagers don't like to visit. After dark, if someone knocks on the door, they should not open the door or respond in any way.
Perhaps this village rule is because the man in white said that a kind of monster would come out of the river at night, and they would enter the village and imitate the voices of the villagers.
After the man in white finished speaking, seeing that I didn't speak, he walked straight towards the woods. After walking a few steps, he seemed to have thought of something, stopped and turned his back to me and said: "There is no Dragon King Temple on the island, don't go there.
!”
"Hey!" I shouted.
But after he finished speaking, the man in white didn't pause any longer and walked directly towards the depths of the woods, disappearing into the dark woods in the blink of an eye.
My nervous heart slowly calmed down, and it seemed that I had just had a false alarm.
I don’t know what this mysterious man in white does.
But according to what he said, as long as I burn the puppets, I should be fine.
But Grandma Liu told me to take the puppet to the Dragon King Temple when I found it.
Why are the things they said to me contradictory to each other?
Just now the man in white said that there is no Dragon King Temple here and asked me not to go. What does this mean?
How did he know that I was going to the Dragon King Temple!?
The more I thought about it, the more I felt something was wrong, and I was already a little overwhelmed.
After pondering for a while, I now feel that it would be too risky to go to the Dragon King Temple alone.
You need to think of a foolproof strategy for this matter.
When I saw the puppets on the ground, I was a little embarrassed for a moment and didn't know what to do.
After thinking about it, I decided to believe what the man in white said.
There's no reason, it's just an intuition.
Because I felt that if I just sent the puppets to the Dragon King Temple, something bad would happen. If I didn't burn them, there would be trouble as well.
Then if you burn this puppet with fire, nothing strange will happen.
After making up my mind, I took out the lighter from my pocket and carefully lit the old puppet lady's clothes on fire.
It was as if a layer of gasoline had been poured over the puppet. As soon as the flames were ignited, the entire puppet was wrapped in fire and burst into flames.
But at this moment, the old lady's head suddenly rolled over and she let out a series of whining sounds, which was extremely miserable.
I turned my head sharply and looked down. I was so frightened that my hair stood on end.
What kind of puppet is this? She has clearly become a living old lady.
The old lady let out bursts of shrill wails, and was still twisting in the flames. I was so frightened by this scene that I was shaking all over.
Not daring to stay here any longer, I took a deep breath, turned around and hurried towards the village.
Although it was already dark, luckily the journey was calm and nothing terrible happened.
It wasn't until I entered the village that I discovered something was different. The village was chaotic and without rules.
I was not familiar with this place at all, so entering the village was like falling into a maze.
Night began to cover, and the whole village became silent. The village houses on both sides of the village road were like death tombs, and the silence made people feel panicked.
Although this village is messy and disorderly, it is not a big village, but I couldn't find the gate of Grandma Liu's house no matter how hard I walked.
I walked around on the empty village road, and soon, I walked out of the courtyard of the old man who sang the song in a daze.
The door to the old man's house was still open. Thinking about what happened not long ago, I couldn't help but hesitate.
Standing at the door and looking inside, I could vaguely see a thin figure of an old man sitting on a stool in the main room.
My mind was spinning rapidly, and after hesitating for a while, I thought about going up to find out how to go.
Walking into the courtyard, I shouted, but the old man didn't respond. He just sat on a stool in the main room with his back to me and his head slightly lowered.
At that time, I already felt a little uneasy in my heart. I walked slowly to the door without daring to go in. I shouted in a low voice: "Uncle, I just started coming here to listen to your music, and you asked me to send the old man who listened to the music with me."
My wife went to the Dragon King Temple, do you still remember?"
