Plague Doctor

Under the dark night dome, the cold breeze blows weeds from this ancient cemetery.

In the remotest part of the village from the graves of the ancestors, there was chaos after being burglarized. The dilapidated tablet fell, the coffin, which had been buried deep in the land, was excavated and thrown aside, the cover was broken, and the skeleton inside had been stolen, leaving little trace of it.

“Perhaps because they have different customs in their homeland, the old dog uncle's family is strange in our village. ”

Chen Shuhuai sat on a military folding bench that someone else had moved to. His face was complicated and he spoke slowly about what happened back then.

Whether it's young Gu Jun, Zhongnian Xue Ba, or elderly Yao Shinian, everyone begs the old man to tell them everything he knows about his old dog's family, no matter how ridiculous that sounds.

Some elderly people love to talk to their younger generations about the past, and Chen Shuhuai is such an elderly person.

“There are about ten of them in the family. The grown-ups are quite strange, and the little ones look just like us. I was a child, and I followed everyone to point out, making fun of my old dog's ugly face and being a foreigner. But Uncle Dog was never angry with us, and I never saw him angry. ”

“They were expelled, Grandpa told them to stay. But after all, they are foreign, they do not marry their daughters, they do not marry their wives. They usually do not travel to their homes. They live at the end of the village. Almost all of them have gone into the mountains. They have cut off some houses with mud and wood, and they are surrounded by a circle..."

Hearing this, Gu Jun asked, “Is Uncle Dog's old house still there? ”

Chen Village Chief continued to act as a translator. Chen Shuhuai sighed: “No, it's all collapsed and rotten... there are no people there, it's been 50 or 60 years, you don't know why in the next life.” The mayor of Chen Village spoke a lot when translating: “I really don't know, that is to say, there is a lot of yin and feng shui is bad. ”

“I was a little girl, and I liked to run around, but I was afraid to go that way. ”

Chen Shuhuai spoke of this more than eighty years ago, like the rest of the world. “Uncle Dog, they don't have pigs, they don't have chicken ducks, they don't even have a dog, but there is always a strange smell coming out of their yard...”

Gu Junxin said that the others heard the situation, odd smell?

But at this time, he also went to the 90-year-old village in a wheelchair and scornfully said: “Treehold, isn't that the fox smell? You always say it smells strange. ”

They refer to fox odor, which is absent in the vast majority of countries, but is also present in some groups.

“It's not a fox smell, you don't remember clearly...” Chen Shu sighs and argues with his old partner is also a hassle, “I don't know what that smell is, it stinks, it kind of smells like a corpse... We sometimes floated dead bodies in the river at that time, it smells like...”

Gu Jun's mind flashed. The old dog's uncle smelled weird and smelled like a corpse. Is the old dog uncle or even their whole family really a ghost eater...

“The floaters, we stabbed them downstream with bamboo poles, otherwise they might be put away, but it's bad luck to do this. Later, the old dog's family did the job, and no one else in the village was going to chase them away, but they were even more sheltered from them. ”

Chen Shuhuai sighed continuously. The old spotted face gradually grew pale. “The weird thing I said started about that time...”

“I had to go up the mountain every day to collect firewood, so I would pass by their house every day. It's uncomfortable to walk by, they're always there, in the yard or by the door, nothing, just watching you walk and not talking. ”

“I don't remember one day, when I walked by, I heard a bang in it, as if something had hit the wooden door, and there was a low scream like what kind of beast... I told you if the old dog's house was hiding something? ”

More than eighty years later, speaking of these, Chen Shuhuai still cannot understand.

“At that time of war, it was not easy to eat a meal, and some meat would have to wait until the festival was out of date. I wondered if the old dog uncle had captured some beast from the mountains and hid it at home as food... I went back to tell my father uncle, they found Grandpa and wanted the old dog uncle to take out the meat and share it with everyone. ”

Gu Jun frowned, Xue Ba, Uncle Egg, they also felt a personal danger...

“Damn.” Shinning muttered, sounding like he was going to see the red door again.

But Chen Shuhuai still lived to be 95 years old now, “Grandpa really went to ask the old dog uncle, after the old dog uncle really took a whole piece of rice noodles out and split it it a few times later, everyone ate the rice noodles to accept them slowly and truly, the old dog uncle can be buried here even when he dies. ”

“But when I heard the scream of the slaughterhouse, it didn't look like it. That weird sound disappeared for a while... and then it rang again. ”

“At that time, I was young and bold. I wanted to see it clearly. I found a day early to climb up to a tree in the vicinity and stare at their yard...”

Speaking of which, Chen Shuhuai stopped and opened his mouth a few times to continue saying the creeps:

“I hid in the middle of the night, hungry and cold, all of a sudden I was going down the tree, and suddenly I saw... the whole family of old dogs walked out of the house to the yard, they walked in strange steps, weird words, walked round and round... as if it were their custom? ”

“But I did see it! Right in the middle of the yard, a strange shadow came out of the mud...”

“I almost fell off the tree... I felt they noticed me, I didn't dare to speak or look again...”

“What happened then, I don't know anymore, and as soon as their yard was quiet, I went down and ran home. On the way, I noticed that all the dogs, chickens, ducks and animals in the whole village stopped screaming. They all lost their souls and didn't move, and the next day they all died. ”

“At that time, the whole village didn't know what was going on and thought it might be poisoned by people from neighbouring villages. I told Grandpa about it, but Grandpa went to talk to Uncle Dog and said I had a dream, don't mention it again. ”

“How can it be a dream, I can see clearly... but this never happened again, the old dog uncle's strange noise is gone, they are very comfortable. ”

“I don't know if that was a dream anymore. ”

Chen Shuhuai shruggedly said, "I really don't know what that shadow is...”

Chen Village Chief is a bit embarrassed to talk nonsense in front of so many leaders, but he needs to translate it truthfully. After all, he is not the only one here who understands East China's local language.

But the hunter team members, Yao Shinian and Gu Jun, all look so calm, so many... summoning ceremonies?

Uncle Dog's family, whether it's a ghost eater or calling a ghost eater, can't be separated.

What the hell is going on in here? Yao Shinian showed Chen Shuhuai several pictures on his cell phone, the dead face of the leader of the next life, some dead skinned people, but Chen Shuhuai shook his head to say he had never seen them.

“Old Chen, look at this portrait again.” Yao Shinian switched another picture to tell Gu Jun not to look at it before the show, because it involved that nightmare.

“Hey?” Chen Shuhuai shook at first glance, “Yes, a little old, but the old dog looks like this! ”
