We were all immersed in these weird past events told by the old monk.

In the temple in the mountain, the old monk late at night, under the dim and dancing candlelight, created a mysterious atmosphere that seemed to be illusive but also real. A ray of cool air came in from the gap in the window. I couldn't help shivering and quickly wrapped myself up. Jacket, continue to listen to the old monk attentively:

"When I rushed into the yard of Li Ergou's house, I found that the lights in their house were on, the door was wide open, and a pair of children were hiding in the corner. They were so frightened that they cried, and Li Ergou even collapsed on the ground. , exclaimed and howled loudly, and struggled to get up, but his legs were already weak and he had no strength at all.

Next to Li Ergou, there seemed to be a man whose flesh and blood was mutilated. When the four of us rushed into the room, we saw the most terrifying scene clearly through the dim light. The man's flesh and blood was mutilated. The person's skin seemed to have been peeled off, with blood vessels and bright red tender flesh exposed, especially the eyes, which had no eyelids, only a pair of bloodshot eyeballs, naked protrusions. It's as scary as it gets outside; and this 'skinless man' is wearing nothing but a piece of cloth around his lower body.

The jaws and teeth, which were not covered with any flesh, were also exposed. They were simply more terrifying than a skeleton. I had never even dreamed of such a terrifying 'thing'.

Fortunately, the people in our family are relatively courageous. Huizhong also inherited this character from our family to a certain extent. He is a little afraid of the sky and the earth. Especially my father is a famous Li Dadan in the county. When he was young, he He often makes bets with people and stays in some haunted houses.

So my father calmed down his mind first and asked Li Ergou not to yell, because he found that the 'skinless man' opened and closed his mouth as if he was saying something, but Li Ergou shouted too loudly. , so I couldn’t hear what the “skinless man” was saying.

As soon as Li Ergou saw the three of us arriving at their house, his mood became more stable. In addition, my father reprimanded him loudly, so he temporarily stopped shouting and sat on the ground breathing heavily. Only then did we hear , that "skinless man" was speaking with difficulty, his voice was not loud, and his mouth without skin was leaking badly, but what surprised us was that judging from the sound, this "skinless man" ', turned out to be a woman.

My father was really bold. He actually took two steps towards that "skinless man" and asked in a loud voice, "Who are you? How did you end up like this? Are you a human or a ghost?"

Unexpectedly, as soon as my father finished asking these questions, several bean-sized tears fell from the naked eyes of the 'skinless man'. He just listened to the 'skinless man' and tried his best to use the leaking breath. He said something unclearly, "Brother Li, I am Ergouzi's wife Cuihua." After saying this, I couldn't say any more, and tears rolled down my bloody cheeks. .

Although her voice was very low and her words were very vague, we all heard it. To us, this sentence was like a bolt from the blue. Li Ergou, who was on the ground, also asked in shock, " What, you are such a green flower, how did you become like this?'

The 'skinless person' cried even more. It's strange to say that although she has become like this, we all seem to think that she is really like Cuihua. No matter how powerful a person's appearance becomes, she Her every move, way of speaking, and way of expressing her emotions are not easy to change. Therefore, we vaguely feel that she should be Aunt Cuihua.

My father was also very shocked, but he calmly asked, 'How do you prove that you are Cuihua?'

The 'skinless man' was sobbing and slumped on the ground. Then she made great efforts to stabilize her emotions a little. She said to my father in a very firm tone, 'Brother, Have you forgotten that just the day before the accident, I sewed three sweatshirts for your son?

Once we heard what she said, we were sure that this was Cuihua, but how did she become like this, and where did she end up in these three years or so.

Cuihua didn't have time to talk about these situations that night, because after hearing the noise, the neighbors rushed over one after another. When they saw such a 'monster', they were very frightened, but later they figured out what the 'monster' was. 'When it turned out to be the missing Cuihua, there was a lot of discussion. The news spread quickly. Even people who lived very far away got up and ran over to see after hearing about this strange thing. Later, the yard was full of people. , the scene was very chaotic at that time, but Cuihua was already very weak, and after she managed to say a few words, she was in a semi-conscious state. Several courageous old people put her on a door panel in a mess. He pried open her skeleton-like exposed teeth and poured some water into her.

As soon as it dawned, people from the officialdom came over. The police drove everyone out of the yard, and then took Cuihua away in a car. Of course, they allowed two family members to go with them. Li Ergou was an only child. His parents had both died in the past two years. He had no other relatives, so he asked my father to go with him. As the saying goes, distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors. He felt that if my father accompanied him, he would have The backbone is there.

I remember it was more than three days before my father came back. The three of us quickly asked him how Cuihua was doing. He just shook his head sadly and said that even after being sent to the provincial hospital, he could not be cured. That was it. Died young.

This incident was a big blow to Li Ergou. From then on, he often came to our house to drink with my father, and he got drunk every time. When he got drunk, he would roll on the ground and cry loudly. While mumbling, "What sin have I done? God, you did this to me. Just let Cuihua disappear. Why did you let her become like this and come back to scare me before she died?" Whenever I close my eyes every day, I see the miserable look of Cuihua. I don't have a good day, for God's sake.'

At this time, my father would sit aside and not say a word, while smoking a dry cigarette and wiping his tears sadly, because this was really too miserable. That Aunt Cuihua was a very kind and virtuous person. , because we have been without a mother since we were young, so whenever our clothes are torn or our pants are torn, Aunt Cuihua will sew and mend them for us. If there is something delicious, she will remember to give us a piece. Why is it so good? People will encounter such bad luck.

After this incident, Li Ergou became obsessed with wine. He got drunk every now and then and had no interest in doing any work. He had no money to sell good wine, so he drank the cheapest and worst quality wine on credit. Everyone in the county knew this. She also sympathized with him for his experience. People often paid for his drinks, especially those whose wives were also missing. They also sympathized with Li Ergou, so people often sent food and noodles to his family every now and then.

Li Ergou also had an accident in the winter of that year. One night, he was so drunk that he fell asleep in the snow and froze to death. The two children were also adopted one after another. His whereabouts are also unknown. The family that was originally harmonious and beautiful was just like this.

Our third brother was very curious and asked my father what happened, why Cuihua became like that, what happened to her in the three years she was missing, didn’t she tell her before she died? My father didn’t tell me at first He was willing to tell us, but later he couldn't stand our insistence, and he felt uncomfortable holding many things in his heart, so he told us many secrets about this matter in detail.

It turns out that after the officials took Cuihua away, they mainly wanted to investigate these missing women and find out how they disappeared mysteriously and who did it.

Because Cuihua became like this and her body was extremely weak, she even took a car to the provincial hospital for treatment at night. However, because the disease was really weird, she could only watch Cuihua's condition getting worse and worse, and She was helpless, but Cuihua's consciousness was very clear. She knew that she would not live long, so she suggested that the doctor could give her an injection so that she could "refresh herself". She wanted to say something important before she died. .

Of course the authorities were willing to cooperate, because Cuihua's clue was so important. She was the key to figuring out this most mysterious case. At that time, the authorities mobilized the most experienced medical experts, as well as senior personnel responsible for the case, and also assigned departments. The tape recorder recorded everything Cuihua said.

At first, the officials did not plan to let my father and Li Ergou be present because they thought it was better to keep the case secret. But Cuihua knew that after the injection, these words she spoke were probably her last words. She didn't want to be surrounded by a bunch of strangers at the last moment of her life. She wanted to see her relatives, the acquaintances she spent time with day and night, so her father and Li Ergou were allowed to stay at the scene.

In this way, they will also have the opportunity to understand the most bizarre and weird experience of Cuihua, and also have the opportunity to know what terrible things happened to Cuihua that night and during the three years of missing.

It turned out that on the night of the disappearance, Cuihua and Ergouzi, like other young couples in the county, maintained a high degree of vigilance because of the frequent occurrence of horrific disappearances at that time. They did not dare to sleep at night and would only wake up at dawn. Finally, I squeezed in some time to sleep for a while. That night, Cuihua was doing needlework under the lamp, while Li Ergou was pushing the grinder. When he was tired from pushing, he sat down and chatted with Cuihua for a while, and then pushed again.

It was around three o'clock, and the two of them didn't feel sleepy at all. After pushing for a while, Ergouzi was covered in sweat, so he stopped to smoke a dry cigarette and chatted with Cuihua.
