Chapter 562: Light in the Dark Night
Professor Shan went on to talk about the strange experience of the old man: "When the old man returned home, he saw that the two people who came were actually the hermit and the guide. They were the two people he met when he was trying to cure infertility, and the two-faced man was also
It was the hermit who asked him to take it back.
But the old man couldn't figure it out. Almost thirty years had passed, and the faces of these two people had not changed at all. Not only that, how could they suddenly come to the door again?
As the so-called 'night owl comes to the door', the old man knew that the appearance of these two people was definitely not a good thing, but seeing that his son, daughter-in-law, and precious grandson were all there, he couldn't ask anything in depth, so he could only brace himself and ask his son and daughter-in-law.
He reluctantly explained a few words and said that these two people were indeed good friends in the past and had not seen each other for more than 20 years. He asked his son and daughter-in-law to prepare meals quickly, taking the opportunity to put them away, and then brought the two people in.
In your own room.
The old man also noticed that when he entered the house, the guide carried a box in.
When there were only three people in the room, before the old man could speak, the hermit sneered, and then stared at the old man with a fierce look in his eyes. The old man was terrified by his stare, and the three people did not speak.
It was eerily quiet.
Seeing that the old man was suppressed by him, the hermit lowered his voice and said to the old man fiercely: 'How dare you violate your oath and sneak away, I will settle the score with you today.'
After finishing speaking, without waiting for the old man to defend himself, he winked at the guide, who nodded knowingly, and then opened the box. When he saw the contents of the box, the old man almost fainted with fright, because the box
Inside was the skeleton of the two-faced man. What shocked the old man even more was that the skeleton was still moving!
The hermit and the guide exchanged glances again, then closed the box and told the old man coldly that the skeleton was the double-faced one sealed in the cellar by the old man, and the reason why the two of them came to the old man was because
Just let the old man continue to raise this two-faced man who has turned into bones. If the old man doesn't raise him, their family will face disaster, and the old man's grandson will still be in danger.
The way to feed this white bone is that every once in a while, the old man must extend his arm to the white bone, and the white bone will use its tiny teeth to bite the old man's arm to suck blood, but what is incredible is that
, the blood-sucking scar on the old man's arm will completely disappear within a few hours, leaving no scars.
After saying this, the hermit and the guide left without even eating.
Since then, the old man's nightmare from decades ago has come back.
At that time, the old man's wife and the servant had passed away long ago. The old man, his son, his daughter-in-law, and his grandson were left at home. In order to keep this secret from his son and daughter-in-law, the old man put the box in
Under his own bed, and during normal times, he tried his best not to let his son and daughter-in-law come into his house.
But unexpected disaster still happened.
One time, the old man fell into a coma because of drinking too much and being depressed for a long time. His son sent him to the county hospital for treatment. However, while the old man was hospitalized, his daughter-in-law cleaned his room and left a bed under the bed.
I discovered the box, probably because the movement in the box aroused my daughter-in-law's curiosity, so my daughter-in-law opened the box and saw the white bones in the box.
Because the skeleton was so terrifying, the daughter-in-law was frightened crazy when she saw it. The daughter-in-law was so crazy that she jumped off a cliff and died that night. Fortunately, she did not jump off the cliff with her son in her arms. At that time
, the old man’s grandson is still in his infancy.
The next day, on the way back to the mountain, the son saw the body of his wife. Under this sudden and huge blow, he may have gone into a trance. He also lost his footing on the dangerous and rugged mountain road and fell to his death.
For the old man's family, it is true that misfortunes never come singly.
A happy family was completely destroyed in this way.
When the old man was in the hospital, perhaps because of his sixth sense, he always felt that something happened at home. So, despite the doctor's dissuasion, he was discharged from the hospital at noon the next day. When he rushed home, he
After seeing this most tragic scene, if it were not for his grandson, he would have died.
He hated the hermit, the guide, and the white bones, but for the sake of his grandson, he had to endure the humiliation and bear the burden to live. With amazing perseverance, the old man not only raised his grandson by himself, but also supported his grandson to go to college.
But only the old man himself knows the pain and suffering for so many years.
When he has nothing to do, the old man often takes out the book given to him by Dr. Wang and reads it. He hopes to find out what the two-faced man and the hermit are through his own research, so that he can find corresponding countermeasures and solve the problem.
The threat from the hermit could even destroy the hermit and the bones, but after so many years, the old man still couldn't figure out a way, so in order to protect his grandson, he had to do what the hermit said."
What everyone didn't expect was that the giant rat that suddenly appeared actually revealed so many secrets. Especially what Professor Shan said, combined with the snake that Crazy Six saw, the amount of information is really too much, and we need to carefully understand it.
It takes some thinking to digest, but we all know that these seemingly unrelated events have one thing in common, that is - these monsters are all transformed from another species, and behind this phenomenon, there are
What kind of secret is hidden?
The room fell into silence again.
I looked at my watch and saw that it was already midnight. The wind and rain outside seemed to have stopped completely. I walked to the window, gently opened a corner of the curtain and looked outside.
Through the glass, it was dark outside and nothing could be seen. Although the rain stopped, the sky was already overcast and there was not a single shining star in the sky. After looking at it for a while, I was about to lower the curtains.
, suddenly, there seemed to be a glimmer of light.
In the dark night, this kind of bright light seemed particularly conspicuous, but the bright light only flashed for a moment and then disappeared. I'm not sure if it was my imagination.
When I was wondering, the bright light flashed again, this time it lasted longer, and then it flashed a few more times. Now I was sure that this was definitely not an illusion, so I quickly turned to everyone.
Said: "Look, there is light outside."
Everyone was shocked when they heard what I said, and then they wanted to come over and have a look. But at this moment, for some reason, Xiao Lei lowered his voice and shouted hurriedly: "Don't go over there yet, Xiao Ming, you don't want to go there either."
Come back quickly."
Everyone was stunned, not knowing why Xiao Lei suddenly said this, but they all stopped and did not go to the window.
After listening to Xiaolei's words, I was a little confused, but then something unexpected happened:
The giant rat in the cage suddenly made an extremely sharp sound. The sound had a very high frequency. I estimated that it could be heard a mile or two away in this silent night. Before I could understand what was going on, I heard
Xiao Lei shouted: "Get down."
Almost at the same time, I was pressed to the ground by Xiao Lei. Immediately afterwards, I heard a crackling sound, as if several pieces of glass on the window were smashed, and the wind from outside blew in and blew out the candles in the room.
, suddenly, it was pitch black.
Everyone was lying on the ground, holding their breath and concentrating, motionless.
After a long while, when everything calmed down, Xiao Lei was the first to get up, then turned on a small flashlight, quickly looked into the room, and then whispered to me: "Xiao Ming, help me."
I'll move that bookcase over in a moment and block it here by the window."
We both hunched over and blocked the bookcase against the window.
At this time, Xiao Lei turned on a relatively large flashlight, and the room suddenly became brighter, and everyone got up from the ground one after another. Xiao Lei pointed at the wall and said, "Look, everyone, these crossbow arrows."
We looked along his fingers, and sure enough, there were four or five crossbow arrows embedded in the wall! The power of these crossbow arrows was quite strong.
In fact, we are no strangers to being attacked by crossbows, because those Japanese are the best at using crossbows. Do these crossbows also belong to the Japanese? Xiao Lei did not directly use his hands to use the crossbow arrows, but
He took out a thick towel, folded it in several layers, wrapped it around the arrow tail, and then pulled it out with all his strength. I knew that he did this to prevent the crossbow arrows from being hooked and poisoned.
Everyone carefully observed the crossbow arrows and found that they were very similar to the crossbow arrows used by the Japanese. Could it be that the Japanese attacked us this time?
Xiao Lei explained: "The bright light that appeared outside just now was probably to attract us to the window, and then attack us with a crossbow. You can see that they first smashed the window with stones, and then used the crossbow to shoot
Come in, fortunately, we are more vigilant, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous."
"Oh, look, the giant rat is gone," Tian Liwen suddenly exclaimed. After hearing what she said, we quickly looked over to the cage. Sure enough, the cage was empty, and the giant rat was long gone.
whereabouts.
It's really strange. We obviously locked the iron cage, so how could the giant rat get out of it?
My cousin walked over, shined his flashlight, and carefully observed the iron cage. We also quickly moved over to take a look.
After walking in, we were surprised to find that several of the finger-thick steel rods on the iron cage had been bitten off by the giant rats. It seemed that the teeth of the giant rats were too sharp and too hard.
The cousin looked at the empty cage and said thoughtfully: "Have you noticed that the giant rat's cry just now may be sending a signal to the outside world, asking the outside world to attack quickly, because it saw that we did not fall into the trap, and
Only Xiao Ming was alone in front of the window, so he sent a signal to the outside to attack immediately, otherwise he wouldn't even have a chance to shoot anyone."
