Adventure Code

Chapter 387: Snow Trench (9)

I puffed out my chest, deliberately coughed, and made a slight noise, as a way of emboldening myself.

According to Anba, Tuanjiegou is the last gathering place of human beings in this area. After passing Tuanjiegou, there is a virgin forest, and the Sanjiang Plain stretches past. Only the south is inhabited.

But now, the thing on the big tree in front of him is obviously man-made.

It's so weird.

I wanted to blow the whistle to remind everyone, but as soon as I touched the whistle, I dismissed the idea.

Although this tree looks a bit weird, it is not dangerous at the moment, so let's see the situation first.

I walked to the tree with a flashlight, and observed the tree and the dolls and red cloth hanging on the tree up close.

There are faded black marks on the red surface, obviously written, but it is not visible now.

As for those red dolls, some are made of clay, painted with red dye on the outside, some are rough, made of plants like rushes, most of which are rotten, and some are made of cloth.

But no matter what the material is, these dolls are uniformly painted red.

Is it for a son?

In the past, there was a custom of presenting dolls in some temples to pray for children, and in the feudal period, men were generally sought, so clay dolls are mostly male dolls with braids.

In order to prove my conjecture, I began to observe these dolls carefully, but the more I looked at them, the more strange it became, because judging from the number of double-tail braids and sky-high braids on these dolls, the number of male and female dolls is about the same.

This may seem normal now, but it was definitely not normal in the past.In the past, in this kind of temple for seeking children, nine out of ten dolls were male dolls.

The dolls and red cloth on this tree seem to be quite old.

In the past, except for wealthy families, generally poor families rarely asked for baby girls. How could there be so many double-haired dolls on the tree?

So I rejected the speculation about the child-seeking tree, and estimated that this tree and the doll on the tree should have other meanings.

After looking around, I found nothing else, so I decided to go back first and tell others about it tomorrow.Not to mention that these dolls are all red, the key is to match a pair of black eyes. The combination of red and black makes people creepy.

I didn't want to stay any longer, and when I was about to leave, out of the corner of my eye, I caught sight of the red doll who had seduced me before.

My heart skipped a beat, I stomped my feet hard, and spit on the way.

This is a common method of exorcising ghosts among the people.

Influenced by Xu Kaiyi, I don't believe in ghosts and gods, but people sometimes feel guilty when encountering unexplainable things.The kid in the red bellyband is too weird, I don't know what it is, I can only use this behavior to embolden myself.

Obviously, it lured me here on purpose, and seeing that I was leaving now, it got out again, intending to lure me forward.

I have already discovered something is wrong, so I will naturally not be fooled again. After spitting, I acted like I didn’t see it. I turned around and walked back quickly. While walking back, I watched six directions and listened to all directions.

However, just a few steps away, I felt a gloomy wind behind me, blowing directly on my back, and at the same time, the sound of a child laughing and laughing crazily came to my ears.

Even if I don’t believe in evil anymore, the three souls and seven souls that were frightened at this moment almost flew out. I was so shocked that I couldn’t care about anything else, and ran away. While running, I grabbed the signal whistle and blew it wildly. The sound of the child's giggling and laughing became louder, as if it was sticking to my back.

I whistled as I ran wildly, and when I turned around, there were no children following me, but for some reason, the laughter rang in my ears.

His grandfather's, it's too wicked!

The rest came very quickly. It should be said that the fastest ones were Machete, Pan Zuo, and Pan Zuo. The rest of them didn't see it, so they probably stayed in the camp.

"What's the matter?" Scimitar asked in a low voice, but looked behind me. The strange thing is, as soon as the three of them appeared, the giggling laughter in my ears disappeared.

Panting, I was speechless for a while, and then I said slowly: "It's too evil, there is a child who looks like a ginseng doll...Ginseng doll, you should all know it? I chased it all the way, Then there was a tree full of dolls...do you hear the laughter?"

Machete glanced at me and said, "I heard it, but it has disappeared."

I said: "I didn't believe in ghosts before, but now I feel that this place is probably haunted by ghosts." While talking, Anba also chased after him, panting: "What's wrong? What's going on? I said Brother Xu , how did your vigil end here?" I was out of breath, and I didn't have the heart to explain it a second time, but the scimitar pulled out the gun after hearing it.

There was a searchlight on his gun, so his left hand, which was not holding the gun, was free, and a black machete was drawn from his waist.When I met him in the memory of the ancient city before, he had two knives studded with precious stones on his waist, and the knives were later confirmed to be cultural relics in the ancient city of Gufang. When the machete left, there was an accident. Didn't take away.

But from the looks of it, he liked this type of weapon quite a bit, and even got another one after he came out.

The scabbard of this knife is black, but when it is pulled out, the blade is shiny with silver light, which can be seen by others, and it walks forward in the direction I came from.

I was startled, and said: "You want to go there? I said... why don't you wait until daytime? What if it's haunted... ghosts don't dare to come out during the daytime, so let's wait until dawn?"

Scimitar said slowly: "Didn't you say that the red boy lured you on purpose? If that's the case, do you think it won't reappear if we wait in the camp?"

Anba couldn't understand what we said, and asked anxiously, "What red boy?"

After Machete finished speaking, he turned and walked forward, and Panzuo and Panyou also followed. Seeing this, I gritted my teeth, thinking that I was gone, and I couldn't lose the chain, so I had to follow.

As we walked, I explained it to Amba and asked him, "Did anyone live in this place before? Do you know what happened to that tree?"
