Chapter 284 The Strange Baby in the Valley
The Feng Shui master was greatly inspired by Huizhong's incident. He immediately returned from Shanghai and began to search carefully around his residence, hoping to find a headless chicken.
At this time, almost one-third of the corpse insects were dead, and they were still dying. This made the Feng Shui master restless. If this continued, the consequences would be really disastrous.
For two consecutive days, the Feng Shui master ate steamed buns when he was hungry and drank water when he was thirsty. He searched the area around his residence from morning to night. However, to his great dismay, he found nothing unusual.
Because there was a lot of rain that year, there were mud and puddles everywhere in the mountains. Therefore, the Feng Shui master was very careful when searching, because he knew that the mountains were not like flat land, and it was difficult to determine the depth of the puddles. There were many puddles. It doesn't look deep, but it's actually several meters, or even more than ten meters deep, and the terrain is steep. Once you slip in, it's almost impossible to climb out, and people can easily drown alive.
After two days of searching, they still found nothing except muddy water and exhaustion, which made the Feng Shui master feel more and more desperate.
In the evening of the third day, the Feng Shui master found nothing again. When he returned home, he was so tired that he could not even take off his dirty clothes. However, even though he was so tired, the Feng Shui master still did not forget to lie down. He had closed the doors and windows before, because he knew that the tall blind man would attack him at any time.
After all the doors and windows were closed and locked, he lay down on the ground and fell into a deep sleep.
I don’t know how long it took, but when the Feng Shui master woke up in a daze, he felt sore all over, cold and hungry. He struggled to get up, turned on the light in the room, and got himself some food. After a while, I slowly recovered, took off my muddy clothes, took a shower, and climbed into bed.
The Feng Shui master picked up the pocket watch on the table and looked at it. It was already past eleven o'clock in the evening.
The wind seemed to have picked up outside, making the windows creak. He turned off the light and lay down, preparing to have an early rest because he would have to continue searching early tomorrow morning.
However, in the darkness, he was not sleepy at all.
He tossed and turned in bed, but couldn't fall asleep. He thought of his rough fate, thought of the person he loved most being tortured and ruined by the blind man, and thought that as a dignified man, he was not only unable to take revenge, but also unable to protect himself. This made him sad. The Feng Shui master felt as if he had knocked over the five-flavor bottle.
The most urgent problem is to find the headless chicken and save the corpse insects so that he will not be killed by the tall blind man.
But why can't we find the headless chicken? The Feng Shui master thought hard.
Just like this, the Feng Shui master sat up and lay down again. He didn't know how long he had been tossing in the dark. Suddenly, an idea suddenly appeared in the Feng Shui master's mind. This idea made his whole body feel like an electric shock, and he was excited. Incomparable.
Because he suddenly realized a very important piece of information. Huizhong discovered the headless chicken at night. Could it be that that kind of chicken only appeared at night? The reason why he had been looking for it during the day these days was I just feel that it is very unsafe to search at night. Not only will I encounter wild animals, but I am also more likely to fall into a deep puddle than during the day.
Not only that, but there is another point. If you go out late at night, you are more likely to be attacked by the blind man. This is why Feng Shui masters must bring bottle corpse insects with them every time they go out, because they are the only nemesis of the blind man.
Thinking of this, the Feng Shui master gritted his teeth and got up from the bed. He wanted to change his strategy and wanted to go out to look for it at night. The Feng Shui master brought a bottle of corpse worms, then a flashlight, a dagger on his waist, and Got a German-made revolver.
The wind outside was very strong. It was late summer and early autumn. In the middle of the night, there was already a slight chill in the night wind. A full moon hung high in the sky, and every plant and tree in the mountains was shrouded in the cold moonlight. .
A gust of cool wind blew by, and the Feng Shui master couldn't help but shiver, and his mind suddenly became clearer. Maybe in the dead of night, the human brain can generate more inspiration. In this kind of "calm night and mountain sky" In the environment, the Feng Shui master suddenly thought of something. He suddenly thought that there was a place within three or four miles of his residence that he had never been to.
In the past few days of searching, he always ignored that place intentionally or unintentionally.
For most people, the reason why they don’t want to go to that place is because it is too dirty and scary. For him, the reason why he doesn’t want to go to that place is because he is afraid that everything in that place will destroy the kind of people he has already healed. His "addiction" is brought back again, and that "addiction" is his "necrophilia".
This strange "hobby" seems to be innate to him, and the tragic and lonely fate of the Feng Shui master is also related to this "hobby", which prevents him from living an ordinary life. Otherwise, he might She will be his wife in Shanghai, get married and have children, and enjoy family happiness.
The Feng Shui master finally got rid of this "hobby", but in that place, it is very likely that this "hobby" will be brought back again.
So what exactly is that place?
It is a "Dead Baby Valley" that specializes in throwing dead babies, as the locals call it.
At that time, medical and health conditions were poor, so the infant mortality rate was very high. People often threw dead babies in a relatively fixed place, and the "Valley of Dead Babies" was the place where dead babies were thrown away in several villages down the mountain.
Although it is called a "valley", it is actually not very big. It is just a narrow strip of land more than ten meters long and seven or eight meters wide. But for ordinary people, this place is both scary and disgusting. There are often beasts in the mountains, or Wild dogs come to the valley to eat the bodies of dead babies. Therefore, if you accidentally enter this valley, you will often see extremely horrific scenes, with many broken human organs.
But for the Feng Shui master, because he once suffered from severe necrophilia, although he has basically been cured, his feelings about this kind of place are still very different from ordinary people.
Late at night in early autumn, when the Feng Shui master suddenly thought of this place, he suddenly vaguely felt that since other places had been searched and no abnormalities were found, could that kind of "headless chicken" be hiding in this valley? Woolen cloth.
He decided to go and have a look.
Under the bright moonlight, the Feng Shui master walked on the slippery mountain road with one foot deep and one foot shallow. He would stumble from time to time. Soon, the clean clothes he had just changed were full of mud and water.
In this way, after about dozens of minutes, the Feng Shui master finally arrived at the "Dead Child Valley". Before he entered, he could vaguely smell a stink. To ordinary people, this stink may be disgusting, but to ordinary people, To the Feng Shui master, this smell was so familiar and friendly that he took a few deep puffs, just like a heavy smoker smelling the smell of smoke.
Rationally, the Feng Shui master realized that this was very dangerous, because he was really afraid that his "necrophilia" would resurface, but in order to find the "headless chicken", he had no choice but to risk it all.
The Feng Shui master waded through the muddy water and slowly entered the narrow valley. Due to the terrain, the moonlight could not shine into the valley, so the Feng Shui master turned on his flashlight and slowly searched inside.
At this time, for some reason, the Feng Shui master could feel his heart beating very fast.
On the muddy ground in the valley, you can occasionally see small mattress packages, which are used to wrap dead babies. There are stains of blood on them, and there are also scattered bones and rotten meat. The Feng Shui master knows that these are wild dogs. Wolves and other beasts did it.
The Feng Shui master walked very slowly. He shined a flashlight and searched the ground in the valley carefully, inch by inch, for fear of missing something.
By this time, the wind had died down a lot, and the bright moonlight made the valley look even darker and more mysterious.
Suddenly, after walking a few meters inside, the Feng Shui master suddenly felt that in the darkness not far ahead, there were two faint green lights that were chilling. With his experience, he knew that those two green lights might be wolf eyes.
And Feng Shui masters know that this kind of wolf that has eaten human flesh is most likely to attack people.
The Feng Shui master suddenly pulled out the revolver from his waist, calmed himself down, and then shined his flashlight on it.
He guessed right. It was indeed a brown wolf. Under the flashlight, the two green lights in its eyes were even more sinister. Looking up at the direction of the flashlight, it was even more chilling. The wolf was screaming. His teeth were bared and there was some blood on his mouth, so he seemed to be eating a dead baby.
Without thinking much, the Feng Shui master raised his hand and fired a shot at the wolf. The shot did not hit, but in this long and narrow valley, the sound of the gunshot was particularly loud and violent, and the wolf seemed to have been shot. He jumped, first bowed his body and took a few steps back, then with a scrape, passed by the Feng Shui master, and fled out of the valley in a panic.
The Feng Shui master stood there, shocked. It took him a long time to recover, and then he continued to search inside.
But we had almost reached the innermost part of the valley and still found nothing.
Isn't the "headless chicken" here? This made the Feng Shui master feel a little frustrated, but he still searched patiently little by little.
Suddenly, when the Feng Shui master searched to the end of the valley, he seemed to hear a special noise, which was very much like the sound of a baby. Moreover, this sound was not the cry of a baby, but the sound of a baby babbling.
The Feng Shui master felt very strange: Are there any alive babies among the babies abandoned here? But maybe, they might be illegitimate children or something like that, who would be thrown here alive. This kind of thing has happened before. It is said that , an old herb farmer picked up a live baby in this valley the year before last.
The Feng Shui master followed the sound and slowly found it.
He carefully identified the direction from which the sound came, and found that the sound did not come from the ground, but from a hollow on the rock wall. It was likely that the still alive baby had been placed there.
This dimple on the rock wall was about one meter above the ground, so the Feng Shui master walked over and took a flashlight to shine inside. At the same time, he stretched his neck to look into the dimple.
