I Like Weird the Most

Willow Village.

This is a small village built on the hillside, surrounded by a large number of rice fields.

It is mid-July now, the weather is still hot, and the rice in the paddy fields is growing very well. I think this year will be another bumper harvest year.

At the same time, in this village, there are many willow trees everywhere. This village is also named because of the many willow trees here.

He Wenzhi concentrated on driving the black business car, and at the same time drove Wei Xing along the way.

On the way, Wei Xing also tried his best to appease Liu Mei's daughter's emotions, and learned about the situation over there by phone.

He Wenzhi turned the steering wheel, and after the car turned into the small road that could only accommodate one car, rice fields came into view on both sides.

When you open the window, you can still smell the unique atmosphere emanating from the fields.

Driving on the road between the fields, the ears are full of the sound of frogs and insects, and you can even see some fireflies flying around.

The stars are dotted, and they are quite beautiful.

At the same time, as the vehicle continues to move forward on this trail, from time to time you can see a few large willow trees planted by the roadside.

Those willow trees seemed to be many years old, with rough and cracked bark, thick stems, each branch drooping, covered with leaves, very lush.

It is actually quite rare to plant so many willow trees.

In his previous life on Earth, He Wenzhi had never seen such a situation, and in this life, he had changed the world, and he didn't remember it either.

Mainly, he had heard something about willow trees before.

In fact, this statement is quite controversial. Some say that willow trees attract ghosts, while others say that willow trees ward off evil spirits.

When he was still on the earth in his previous life, he once followed the elders in his family to a relative's house as a guest, and then he saw a thick willow tree planted in front of the relative's house.

The willow tree was not very tall, and the hanging branches, in the eyes of He Wenzhi, who was still young at the time, could be reached by jumping up.

It was just that it was very late at that time, the willow branches and buds were drooping, and it was an old earth tile house at that time. When I saw it gloomy and suddenly, it seemed like a ghost pounced downward.

Originally, he didn't feel that way, but some time ago he saw a TV series about ghosts on TV, which seemed to be called [Liao Zhai] or something.

It was such an episode, it can only be said to be quite a coincidence.

In that episode, it was said that some of these tree branches looked like people, with torsos and limbs, so it was very likely that there would be ghosts attached to them.

At that time, He Wenzhi was young, and watching TV had pictures, dialogue sounds and background music. He was frightened when he saw the gloomy picture and the background music full of underworld style.

So this time when he came to a relative's house and saw this drooping willow tree, he was so frightened that he quickly grabbed the elder's hand and asked if there might be a ghost on it.

Will that ghost suddenly pounce on him and take him away...

To be honest, the young He Wenzhi was quite cute back then, at least compared to the current him, those ghosts definitely liked the old He Wenzhi more.

At that time, he looked at the drooping willow tree timidly, and said that, but the elder's expression was serious, telling him to stop talking nonsense.

The elders said how could there be ghosts here, and that willow trees were planted in front of the gate to ward off evil spirits and ensure safety.

Immediately afterwards, he said something about this.

It is said that willow trees are related to one of the twenty-eight constellations, so some ordinary people will plant willow trees in front of their homes.

The purpose of doing this is to hope that the home can be kept safe, so that the whole family can enjoy a peaceful and stable life.

Moreover, according to the old man, it is said that ghosts are actually very afraid of willow trees. They dare not approach willow trees easily. If they do, they will be bound and bound by willow branches, and they will never be able to escape.

Therefore, it is completely nonsense that there will be ghosts attached to it.

What's more, the homonym of willow is to stay. It is said that if someone in the family is seriously ill, then when black and white impermanence comes to summon the soul, the willow tree can play a role in warding off evil spirits, so that relatives can stay and the soul will not be taken away. .

That's what the elders told He Wenzhi at that time, and he was still young at that time, so he listened with great interest and fascination, and he still remembers it until now.

The elders also told him that the ones shown on TV are all lies. After all, they are all staged, so don't believe them.

It's just that later, there was a family whose children were disobedient, always made mistakes, and always liked to confront others.

The adults wanted to teach the children a lesson, but they couldn't find the whip when they were looking for it, so someone went to the willow tree at the door and broke off a few branches, saying that if they couldn't find the whip, they could use this to whip it.

The wicker is long and slender, yet so flexible, isn't it better to whip a child's butt than to whip it?

In addition, the surface of the willow branches is uneven, and if those leaves are removed, there will be many pointed and raised places, which are guaranteed to be a swollen mark after being pulled down!

Use this to whip a bear, and it is absolutely accurate, and it is guaranteed to scream when the whip goes down.

The person who proposed to use willow sticks said this, and at the same time he was quite embarrassed, but he was immediately scolded by the elders severely, saying how he could use this kind of pump, and it would take away the soul.

Now think about it, if the willow tree really has the effect of winding ghosts, can it really remove the soul?

Although it is just some sayings spread among the people on the earth, this world is a world where ghosts and ghosts are rampant and spiritual energy is revived!

However, if it is necessary to say that wicker can really draw out the soul, it seems that it is more inclined to disadvantages than auspiciousness.

In addition to saying that it can ward off evil spirits and keep the house safe, there is another folk saying that willow trees are an ominous thing, not only unable to exorcise evil spirits, but also easy to attract ghosts.

At that time, He Wenzhi was not very old, and he was very curious about such mysterious things.

As an ordinary person, he definitely didn't dare to really go to the rumored haunted place, so he just looked up information on the Internet to satisfy his curiosity.

After all, some old people said to ward off evil spirits and keep safe, but now they have a completely opposite statement.

Then he discovered that some of the claims on the Internet looked quite decent.

It is said that in ancient times, the willow tree was called one of the four ghost trees.

Legend has it that it is a gathering place for ghosts and ghosts, and it can attract the attention of many evil things. It is very dark and very scary.

Moreover, some ancient poems and songs like to use words such as willow tree, or willow with thin waist to describe women, and women themselves are representatives of femininity.

So at that time, some people said on the Internet that from many perspectives, willow trees belong to yin, and at the same time, they tend to gather more yin qi and attract many ghosts.

In short, there are different opinions. Some insist that it is good, and some insist that it is bad. Standing in two positions, no one agrees with the other.

He Wenzhi was just curious at the time, so he looked at both sides.

In the end, those were just some rumors he had heard on Earth in his previous life, but now that he is in this world, he doesn't even know what happened.

However, according to the level of weirdness in this world, perhaps the past rumors may become the real existence of today.

In short, ever since He Wenzhi drove that black business car into Liuye Village, whenever he passed by those willow trees, he felt extremely cold.

As an era of revival of Reiki, some things seem to be no longer possible to think in conventional ways.

Just as he was thinking about this, the night sky that was still covered with nebula suddenly became gloomy.

A gust of wind swept in, bringing with it a thick dark cloud, covering the main part of the night sky.

At this moment, the atmosphere in Liuye Village became a little weird.

As we went deeper into Liuye Village, the sound of frogs and insects disappeared, and the fireflies that could still be seen disappeared.

Extreme silence, as if death.

At this moment, the girl who was talking on the phone with Wei Xing next to her suddenly screamed.

Wei Xing hurriedly asked: "Little sister, what's the matter with you? What happened? Don't be afraid, brother is here now, he'll be here soon!

There is also a very powerful big brother coming, you will be fine! "

"No, it's not..." the girl whispered, her voice was already a little hoarse because of crying before.

She said hoarsely: "Because I was afraid just now, I was hiding in the room and didn't dare to go out, and then...then...there was no sound outside, and there was someone knocking on the door just now...I'm so scared, I'm so scared Fear……"

"Don't open the door! You hide now, and don't look out the window, we'll be right over!" He Wenzhi said, and the car had already driven into the entrance of the village.

After finding a place to park the car, the two hurriedly got out of the car and ran towards Liu Mei's house.

Wei Xing had visited Liuye Village several times with his mother Liu Yuqing before, so he still had an impression of the locations of some families.

Since Wei Xing ran too slowly, He Wenzhi asked him to tell him where he was, and then picked him up like a chicken, and then rushed forward suddenly.

Wei Xing originally wanted to continue to comfort the girl over the phone, but as soon as he opened his mouth, a gust of wind poured into his mouth, and some wind and sand flew in at the same time.

My face hurts, and my mouth hurts too.

Especially after taking a mouthful of the gust of wind with sediment, he felt his mouth was dry and astringent, so he hurriedly closed his mouth, not daring to speak any more.

Boom!

When he came to the door of Liumei's house, He Wenzhi didn't bother to knock on the door.

He already knew that something happened here, and even if he knocked on the door, no one would open it. It was a waste of time, so he kicked the door open violently, and rushed in instantly.

The lights were on in the house, and it was still messy.

The moment he rushed in, he could already smell a strong smell of blood.

There were bloodstains on the walls, on the floor, on the tables and chairs, and on other things inside.

He Wenzhi narrowed his eyes, and walked inside along the bloodstains.

He stepped forward a few steps, and lifted the half-covered curtain in front of him, and the smell of blood was stronger behind it.

Wei Xing followed closely behind, and he almost threw up just by looking at it.

Minced meat, rotten meat, and bones were splashed everywhere in this small room. On the ground next to it, there were twisted and bloody limbs, and the head of a woman who still maintained a crazy smile.

His head rolled to the ground, his eyes were staring straight at the door, his strange smile was cracked high, and his face was full of blood. The expression on his face looked extremely creepy.

On the other side, there was a man with a kitchen knife in his hand, gray hair, wearing only a pair of big underpants, and the loose skin of an eighty or ninety-year-old man.

He was leaning against the door of the room, the door was covered with bloody fingerprints, he sat powerlessly, and had completely lost his vitality.

Seeing this scene, He Wenzhi could probably guess what was going on.

Because Liu Mei's husband won the dead man's money, he brought in dirty things.

It is said that it is winning money, but in fact it is losing life.

As his wife, Liu Mei was also implicated.

The man was bewitched by the evil spirit, aged rapidly within a few days, and killed Liu Mei.

The knock on the door that the girl mentioned on the phone just now was probably made by this man.

He had already been bewitched by evil spirits, and he probably didn't even intend to let his own daughter go.

Fortunately, because of fear, the girl hid in the room when she saw her parents laughing wildly, and escaped the catastrophe.

He Wenzhi turned his head and took a look. Wei Xing couldn't stand the bloody scene anymore, and ran to the door to vomit.

Glancing at him at the door, He Wenzhi stopped thinking about it and walked directly to the door.

Turning the doorknob, it was already locked.

He thought for a while, and with a sudden force on his arm, he opened the door directly with violence.

There was a light in the house, but not very bright.

The quilt on the bed was raised high, and the girl's faint sobbing sound came from inside.

She was so scared that even the quilt was shaking, but she didn't dare to make too much noise for fear of attracting something.

Hearing that the door was broken open, the raised quilt trembled even more.

Cautiously, she mustered up the courage to stick out her small head, and looked over with a pair of red and swollen eyes from crying.

"It's me, the person who talked to you on the phone just now, don't be afraid." He Wenzhi said.

He stood at the door of the room, blocking everything outside the door with his body.

Seeing that someone finally came, the girl breathed a sigh of relief.

The strange look of her parents, as well as the previous screams and hacking scares her so much that she hasn't recovered yet.

He Wenzhi had never seen her before, she was just a stranger, but now even a stranger can still make her feel at ease.

Because... at least it's a person.

Her small body crawled out of the bed, her hands were already turning white as she was holding them tightly because of fear.

Even her lips were bitten by herself.

Seeing her appearance and her small stature, He Wenzhi thought of Han Yumeng inexplicably.

"Alas." He couldn't help sighing, stepped forward and hugged the little girl, and at the same time stirred up Yang Huo to test it out.

This is indeed a living person.

All corners of her body, inside and out, were swept by He Wenzhi, and there was nothing abnormal.

Her body was very light, and she was shaking violently.

He Wenzhi pressed her face to his chest, covering her eyes, preventing her from seeing the bloody scene.

Quickly walked out of the house, he put the girl into the car, and then asked Wei Xing to accompany her again.

He himself stood outside the car, took out his mobile phone and called Captain Chen.

There is no problem with He Wenzhi beating ghosts, but now people are killed, and it is still such a bloody scene of dismembering corpses.

This kind of thing still needs to be dealt with by the Spiritual Investigation Bureau.

He Wenzhi didn't want to waste time, he kept the long story short on the phone, and after hanging up, he leaned against the car door, thinking about it.

At that time, in the house, ghost coins were everywhere, and many of them had been soaked in blood, and they were flushed red.

If it was said that Liu Mei's husband was gambling with his life at that time, then Liu Mei did not gamble with him.

Although she was dismembered and killed by her husband, her daughter also said on the phone that Liu Mei was crazy at the time, holding those ghost coins with both hands and giggling.

Then why did she fall into madness?

At this moment, Wei Xing suddenly stuck his head out of the car window and said something.

"Sir, I suddenly remembered something."

"explain."

Wei Xing turned his head and looked at the girl who was gradually calming down. He got out of the car and said in a low voice: "When I met Liu Mei on the road with my mother that day, she talked about that incident and took some money. come out……"

According to Wei Xing, Liu Mei felt that the money was unreliable at the time, so she asked Liu Yuqing, who is the proprietress, to take a look.

Isn't there a number on the money? Maybe you can find something through those numbers?

Liu Yuqing didn't really want to help with this. If there was something wrong with the money, if she went to investigate, wouldn't that mean she was looking for trouble for herself?

It's just that Liu Yuqing, who is also a woman, softens her heart when she thinks that this fellow, as a woman, has to bear the burden of a family.

Although I didn't intend to really check anything, I still took the money and said I would check it out, but I thought in my heart that the check would be avoided, and if the other party really has something to do in the future, I will try my best to help .

"Could it be because you came into contact with this dead man's money?" He Wenzhi said.

Wei Xing shook his head: "I don't know either, because I was there when Liu Mei gave the money. It was normal for me to see the money at that time, but I just saw the picture of the room, and the bloody currency……"

Wei Xing said, but didn't continue talking, but became a little worried.

"Sir, my mother..."

"Don't think too much." He Wenzhi waved his hand: "You have to see people when you are born, and you have to see corpses when you die. Now that no one has been found, don't always think about the bad, think about the good."

Although he said so comfortingly, why hasn't Wang Daochang brought the dog yet?

When I left the farm before, I told the elder brother on duty at the door that if Daoist Wang came with his dog, he would be asked to go to Liuye Village.

Wang Daochang has been to the farm several times, and the elder brother on duty has seen it, and he will bring a dog, so he is not worried about admitting his mistake.

As for Liuye Village, Wang Daochang has traveled more on this road than He Wenzhi, so he should know him. If he really doesn't know him, he can ask when he is at the farm.

Even if the cell phone is dead, he can borrow a charger to charge it when he arrives at the farm.

But now it's past eleven o'clock, why haven't you come yet?

He called Wang Daochang again, and still reminded him that the phone had been turned off.

A sense of uneasiness became heavier and heavier in He Wenzhi's heart.

Now there is no clue about the supernatural event of this life-gambling. After all, the gambling game is over, and the source is hard to find.

Originally, they planned to find the proprietress Liu Yuqing first, but they got involved in this matter.

And the dog hasn't come for a long time, as long as it comes, give it a few pieces of the proprietress' clothes inside and out, maybe you can find it through the dog's keen sense of smell.

Moreover, after smelling those dead money, maybe the dog can also find the source of the gambling.

Thinking in my heart, He Wenzhi has already made a decision.

As long as Captain Chen brings someone, he will leave first to check the situation.

After waiting for Wang Daochang for so long before he came, He Wenzhi asked Deputy Team Wei to help adjust the monitoring along the way.

Wang Daochang did get in the car, and he really came here.

It's just that after leaving the urban area, there are very few surveillance cameras on this road, and there is such a thick fog, so Wei's deputy team can't find anything at all for a while.

Therefore, He Wenzhi planned to look for it along the way for a while to see if he encountered any trouble on the road.

Finally, when it was close to twelve o'clock, Captain Chen rushed over with a group of people.

After carefully inspecting the scene, Captain Chen said that this was indeed a life gamble.

In this game, it doesn't matter whether you win or lose.

Because even if you win all the money, you still lose your life in the end, and the money won may not be real money.

Once he is recruited, either Yangshou will pass away quickly in a short period of time, or he will die unexpectedly.

"I'm asking, have you ever heard of excuses?" Captain Chen said suddenly.

"I've heard." Regarding the word "borrowing life", he mentioned it once when he asked Li Ziru to show Han Yumeng the situation at the ghost street pharmacy.

According to Li Ziru, Han Yumeng was destined to die young, and the reason why she survived until now was more likely due to [borrowing her life] besides the sacrifice of her close relatives.

And the life that Han Yumeng borrowed might not be a human life.

At this time, Captain Chen took a deep breath of the cigarette, and a faint white smoke blew out from his mouth.

I just heard him say: "People can borrow ghosts' lives, and ghosts can borrow human lives! Ask me, I'm afraid this matter is not that simple..."

"Team Chen, don't try to play tricks." He Wenzhi looked at Captain Chen. This guy used to like to play tricks too.

Captain Chen nodded, and after he exhausted one cigarette, he lit another.

Seeing him like this, this matter seems to be really troublesome.

"Ask me, I've always heard ghosts harming people's lives. When have you ever heard ghosts come to borrow their lives?"

"There must be a reason for the ghosts to do this now. After all, the lives taken by force are not usable. They can only use them if they are borrowed or exchanged..."

He Wenzhi frowned: "You mean...?"

"I'm afraid it's not that those ghosts want to make a monster with a living person..."

"A monster with the body, but the life of a living person..."

It's too late again, ask for a monthly ticket!
