Amidst the incomprehensible words of the fat man and the swallow, I hurriedly pushed away the dead man's feet hanging on my chest and moved my body back a little.
Unexpectedly, there was also a dead body hanging on my back, which was knocked down by me.
It started to shake immediately, and there was a sound of thick hemp ropes rubbing against the wood above my head.
I didn't know how many hanged people were around in the darkness, so I had to lie down on the ground, but I could still feel the pairs of feet wearing cotton shoes like "pendulums."
Generally, it was hanging above my body and rocking back and forth.
I was already breaking out in a sweat.
I just fell down the stone steps.
I didn’t know where I had left my satchel.
I couldn’t find it in the dark, so I had to quickly say to Yanzi: “Swallow, come on up and see where we fell.”
"The word "fire" must not be mentioned near the forest farm, even with the word "fire" next to it.
Words cannot be mentioned, such as "lighting the lamp" or "candle".
If you have to say "lighting the lamp", you can only use "shangliangzi" instead.
This is not superstitious, but out of taboo, just like dealing with Just like the fire department, the font size always uses "firefighting" instead of "fire extinguishing".
Swallow just rolled down the stone steps and was knocked to pieces.
She was a little confused.
After hearing my greeting to her, "Go to Liangzi," she finally came to her senses.
She took out a pine candle and lit it.
Although the air in the depths could circulate, it was still filled with water that was so spicy that it was so hot The turbid gas that makes eyes water, pine candles are good enough to ignite.
The faint bright green light is cold and clear.
In addition, there are too many impurities in the air, which blocks the transmission of light, making the light of pine candles not much brighter than will-o'-the-wisps.
Not even a one meter square area can be illuminated.
Under the flickering candlelight, I was eager to see if there was a hanged man above my head, but I didn't know whether it was because the light from the pine candle was too dim, or because I was just dizzy because I just rolled and fell.
It was as if a layer of gauze was suddenly covered in front of my eyes.
No matter how hard you open your eyes I couldn't see anything clearly, and the only thing that could be vaguely discerned was the light of the candle.
But in my eyes, the candlelight turned into a green and hazy light, floating in front of me, sometimes far away, sometimes distant. close.
I rubbed my eyes hard, but I still couldn't see clearly, but I heard someone whispering behind the light, as if he was talking to me.
I couldn't help but wonder, who was talking?
Both Fatty and Yanzi were talking.
He has a cannon barrel and a loud voice.
I'm very confident, but if it wasn't them, who was mumbling behind the candle?
I can't see clearly and I can't really hear it, but people have a kind of subconscious mind.
The harder they can't hear, the more they want to hear what they are saying.
I He stretched his neck to get closer.
As my body moved, I suddenly felt a chill in my heart, and I vaguely felt that something was not right.
Although I had not yet figured out what was wrong, the hazy light shadow in front of me seemed to have been seen somewhere, and it was approaching.
The pine candle was in danger, and I repeatedly warned myself in my mind, but the thought of realizing the danger of the candle could not overwhelm my inner desire to get closer to the candle.
I still continued to move forward involuntarily, and was already far away from the pine candle.
The green light was getting closer.
It was clear that he had just touched the feet of the hanged man wearing cotton shoes, and after lighting the candle, the hanged body, as well as the swallow and the fat man, all seemed to have suddenly disappeared, leaving only the flickering bit of the candle.
Bright, I suddenly thought about the hanging man looking for a substitute, which is to lure people into the noose, and see The green light was so close.
I wanted to shrink back quickly, but my body was like a nightmare, and it kept moving.
Only my head and neck could move at this time.
They were all these damn will-o'-the-wisps.
I was completely out of my mind.
Due to the instinct of survival, without thinking, he aimed at the green light of the pine candle with all his strength and blew it out in one breath.

The pine candle's green light, like a will-o'-the-wisp, was extinguished by me in one breath.
Instead, the whole cellar suddenly lit up, and the choking stench disappeared.
I looked down and saw that I was standing on an earthen bed.
On the edge of the kang, my hands were holding a thick hemp rope and putting it around my neck.
I cursed secretly and quickly pushed the hemp rope aside.
Before I had time to take a closer look at where I was, I found Fatty and Yanzi standing beside me.
They were pulling on the hemp rope that fell from the roof and planned to hang themselves.
Yanzi was holding a lit fire in his hand.
Pine candle, but the flame was no longer green.
I quickly reached out to take the pine candle from Yanzi's hand, and pulled down the hemp rope in front of them.
The two of them coughed and woke up again from their trance.
I didn't bother to think carefully about the nightmare-like and frightening experience just now.
I first looked at the surrounding situation.
I looked up and saw that deep in the underground cellar was a small house with an earthen kang.
We fell down from the stone steps and fell in a heap.
On the ground, I didn’t know when I climbed onto the Tukang in a daze, stepped on the edge of the Tukang and almost hung myself in the room.
The size of the inside of the underground cellar is similar to that of an ordinary house.
The interior is very dry.
There are earthen stoves, earthen platforms and fire pits, just like ordinary houses in the mountains.
There are also several beams and citrons on top, and there are countless nooses tied with thick hemp ropes hanging on the wood.
Raw silk copper wire is added to the hemp rope, so it will not decay and break like ordinary hemp rope over time.
Among the countless nooses, four male corpses were hung.
The corpses had been dried by the cold wind in the cellar.
The four "old men" all stuck out their tongues and stared.
The purple skin of the mummies made death...
The expression at the end was even more horrifying.
Because the rope had been hanging for too long, the deceased's neck had been stretched a lot.
Swallows are so afraid of ghosts, whether they are mountain ghosts, water ghosts or hanged ghosts.
When they see the four thrilling "old men" in the light of pines and candles, they are so scared that they quickly cover their eyes.
I He and the fat man didn't say anything for a long time, and it was really unlucky to meet someone hanging on him.
I saw a copper oil lamp at the end of the kang with residual pine oil inside, so I took the pine candle and lit it.
The room became much brighter.
I held up the oil lamp and shined it with the light, and found four hangings.
The dead male corpses were all dressed in the same clothes, black clothes, black shoes, Black trousers and even the hat on the head are also black.
Only the belt tied around the waist, socks and hat thorns are bright red.
In fact, there are many kinds of red.
They are the kind of bright red pigs.
Blood red, I don’t see what’s so special about this outfit, but it shouldn’t be young.
It seems to be old-style clothing from 20 to 30 years ago.
I estimate that the Wong Tai Sin Temple buried in the soil was probably dug out by this group of people.
Unexpectedly, they could not get out after entering.
As soon as we entered this place, we Son, he dug into the noose by himself as if he was paranoid, trying to It’s not that I blew out the will-o’-the-wisp, but now there are three more hanged dead people in this cellar.
Folks say that a hanged dead person must trick a living person into hanging himself before he can be reincarnated.
Could it be that we were just killed?
"Old Diaoye" has taken possession of him, is he possessed by a demonic barrier?

The fat man regained his composure at this time.
He pointed at the four "old men" and cursed loudly.
He almost let these hanged ghosts get in.
Thinking about it made his teeth itch with hatred.
There was a vat for lamp oil in the cellar. , the fat man kept cursing while making preparations to pour lamp oil on the hanging dead people and light their sky lanterns.
I thought it would be better to burn them to prevent them from causing trouble and killing people in the future, but as soon as I got up, I found a crack in the wall on the side.
The crack in the wall was not cracked by the old house, but was left out intentionally.
There was still space behind the cellar, but it was partitioned off by an earthen wall.
We couldn't notice it in the darkness, but there were two small green lamps peering at us from behind the crack in the wall above the earthen partition
