Chapter 205 Corpse Village (3)
"The lights are very far away from me. I walked for a whole hour before I got to the vicinity of the lights. It was not until this time that I could see clearly what the lights look like. The village... This is a village, a small village with more than 200 houses, all of which are made of stone and have no windows."
"Yes! The houses here have no windows. Even the structure and appearance are a bit strange. They are not like the houses in our village at the foot of the mountain. Their houses are long, narrow at the top and wide at the bottom. From a distance, they look like... one coffin after another."
"Coffin Room?"
"It's so weird. To be honest, I have lived under Banpi Mountain since I was a child, and I have never heard of it. There are villages on Banpi Mountain, and it's so weird to build a house like this."
"But I didn't care much at that time. Building the house like this may be a local custom. Then, I gritted my teeth and walked towards the village with the courage."
"Anyway, my luck finally turned a little bit today. When it was dark, I encountered a village. It was better to stay in the village for one night than staying on the mountain. You know, there are not only beasts, but also monsters on the mountain..."
"In other words, it will be safe only after entering the village. Wait until tomorrow morning, I will ask the people in the village to go down the mountain! This life will always be recovered."
"There is a huge archway at the entrance of this village, three or four meters high. It is made of stone. It is a bit simple. On the archway, there are two huge lanterns hanging for lighting, but the color of the lanterns... is white..."
"Yes! It's a white lantern... and the material of the lantern is very strange. It's not paper or cloth, like the skin of some kind of animal, very thin and transparent. The faint light comes out of the skin of the lantern, very transparent."
"This is a lantern made of skin? It's the first time I've seen it, but I don't know what animal skin it was made of. The skin is really thin..."
"I didn't stay on the lantern for too long, but looked at the words on the archway with the light of the lantern. These words should be the name of this village."
"The Corpse Village?"
"The few big words written on the archway are exactly the village of corpse!"
"Can't this village be called Cancio Village?"
"Corpsy? Why did you choose such a strange name? It is unheard of to use corpses as the village name. At this time, I was already a little scared and hesitated to go in. Just because this village is so weird... I was a little scared."
"I'm really afraid. I'm afraid of death... I'm just a coward. I'm not married yet, I don't have children yet, and my family's three generations of single-handed... I'm afraid... At that time, many thoughts came to my mind to not enter this village, because in my intuition, I always feel that something is wrong with this village."
"But... if I don't enter this village, where will I go? Stay in the mountain for a night? I'm afraid that I will be sucked into blood by the human-eating monster."
"Get in. No matter how weird it is, it's a village. What can I do? Go in, rest for a night, and ask for another way."
"In the end, I walked into the village."
"The village is not small, there is a main road, so I walked on the main road and walked into the village bit by bit. But it was a bit strange. There was no one on the road, empty."
"The most important thing is that every household has a closed door because there are no windows, so I can't see if they have fallen asleep or whether they have a light."
"But there is a lantern hanging at the gate of each household, a paper-paste lantern, and the color is white."
"Every household has white lanterns hanging? Why does it feel a little gloomy, like a funeral in the countryside..."
"When you are burying dead people in rural areas, you will use white lanterns to open the way to light them, and then follow the paper man, paper horse, and coffin to the end... Strange... It's really strange. The village is called Cancio Village. The houses in the village are like coffins. Even their doors are hung with white lanterns..."
"I guess as long as I am a living person, my scalp will explode when I encounter such a situation. My legs were a little weak at that time."
"No. It's still not safe here. I just want to find a family, knock on the door, and ask what's going on... After making up my mind, I walked towards a house. After all, it's not a big deal to go on like this. Because there was no real needle on the road in the village."
"When I came to a house, I reached out and knocked on the door..."
"Dongdongdongdong..."
"Nothing came from inside."
"Is it possible that there is no one in the house?"
"I reached out and knocked again!"
"Dongdongdongdong..."
"There is still no one coming to open the door, and the silence is terrible."
"I gritted my teeth and pushed the door...it actually opened, but the door was not closed at all. For some reason, my heart tightened and I always felt something was wrong."
"But I had already opened the door and didn't go in and take a look, and I was a little unwilling to accept it. So I could only make up my mind and walked in... The room was not big, and it was pitch black... But as I walked in, I gradually saw the things inside."
"There is no bed in the house and no furniture to be placed. It's just a bare house... Is this... an empty house?"
"There is nothing inside, empty, no one..."
"But no one, why is there a lantern hanging at the door?"
"Wait a minute... over there... over there seems to be something."
"Just when I was confused, with the light at the door, I vaguely saw that there seemed to be two long cabinets in one corner of the house... I didn't see clearly because the light in the house was too dim."
"I gritted my teeth and walked towards the long cabinet. But when I got closer, my scalp really exploded!! Two coffins...the two long cabinets were actually two coffins..."
"The black coffin... is neatly placed in the corner of the room, facing south and north..."
"In the house, there is a coffin? This village is so weird, right?"
"I gritted my teeth and strengthened my cowardly courage, and walked towards the coffin."
"I'm trying to see what's in the coffin. I've gotten in, so I just do it all the way to the end."
"When I walked to the coffin, I carefully pushed one of the coffin."
"The coffin lid was alive without nailing it with nails! OK! Then I pushed it open... So I pushed it open little by little... I only pushed open a gap ten centimeters wide, and didn't push it all away."
"The gap of ten centimeters is enough. I stopped, leaned my head and looked over... I saw a person lying in the coffin..."
"He looks... he looks..."
PS: This chapter makes me a little creepy.
