Chapter 1: Ten men in a ditch, leading to disaster
When I was small, my hometown has a famous place called "ten people ditch", outsiders may not know this place, but the hometown near the people are talking about it.
Ten people ditch, as early as before the liberation is a mass grave, fight the little devils have been here to drop a few thousand bodies, fill the soil, pad into a ditch, the eve of liberation, and shot ten vicious bandit leader, so named "ten people ditch".
Ten people ditch from the village where I live and not far, full counting only two miles, the village of old people often talk about the ten people ditch, said there feng shui is not right, ten scourge of the ground, and ten people ditch harmonic "dead people ditch", is greatly inauspicious, so ah, no matter what don't go there, especially at night, even if you have to Even if you have to take the long way around, you can't go through there.
Adults at home even warned us not to go there to play, saying that there are ghosts there, will eat small children, caught the boys as steamed bread, caught the girls as porridge, so we are these little children on the ten ditch are curious and afraid.
I'm going to say something related to the ten people ditch, and I also related, and can even be said to be life and death related! Because this thing changed my fate for the rest of my life!
I was only six years old when it happened.
My surname Wu, called with, yes, is the Liang Shanbo one hundred and eight good man in the wisdom of the star Wu with that Wu with. This is my grandfather who loves to read the water margaret gave me the name, it is also this name, to me led to a big trouble, almost can be regarded as a murder.
Six years old that fall, ten people ditch happened a shocked ten miles around the townships of the big event, a seven year old child because of gluttony, stole the money of the family adults to buy snacks to eat, came back to the father to give a brutal beating, on the resentment, in the middle of the night three nights away from home ...... Until the next day, some people only found this child in the ten people ditch there, but already a corpse, burned to death, and then the child was killed, and the child was killed. But it was already a corpse, burned to death, almost burned into a pile of black wood, next to a gasoline bottle thrown ......
The strange thing is that this child is almost burned all over the body, only the head is not burned, according to the people who saw him said his face in addition to some of the black ash, other than all good, if not, can not recognize him, just that a pair of eyes staring round and big and red, full of venom, looks almost scared to death!
Who does not know how he will go to the ten people ditch, gasoline bottles and from where to get, in the end is **** and died or was burned to death. Just his parents know, did not go to pick up his body, are sitting at home on the ground hysterical hysteria stupid stayed a day, to the night, a fire, three tiled rooms instantly burned into a white, husband and wife **** died ......
This thing in our place spread very open, make people panic, and even customs have changed, before the old man beat his son is how vicious how to start, broken shoes pumping big mouth, wooden stick whacking buttocks, a foot kicked a dog shit, a slap fan full of stars, not at all like the biological, can not wait to beat to death only to solve the hate. But after this incident, adults on the attitude of small children a hundred and eighty degree turn, are not much to beat small children, for fear that their children also run away from home, looking for death, that could be a tragedy.
In this way, it is to encourage these children of our mischievous arrogance, truancy, fights and brawls, up and down the water, climbed the house to uncover the tiles, stealing chickens and touching the dog pickpocket girls pants have let go of their hands and feet to do, it is simply a period of thinking up a reminiscent of the hootenanny years .......
On this day, a group of kids got together again, play to play feel the previous tricks are not much fun, to think of new and exciting to be good, so they nest together to come up with pussy ideas. We argued and argued, said a veto a, discussed half a day did not discuss a good idea.
Some people look at me and say: "Wu with, you are not a wise man? What do you think? Have to think of a we have not done, but also exciting!"
This talk to me up, I feel that if I can not think of a unique good ideas, then really sorry for their own names, a number of intestinal search, my mind flashed, said: "Go to the ten people ditch! I heard that the body of the kid who burned to death a few days ago is still thrown there, who of you dares to go and take a look?"
When this was said, everyone was silent, and as they looked at each other, none of them expressed their approval.
My pride and vanity received a slight blow when my good idea was not recognized, so I said sarcastically, "I knew you wouldn't dare even if I told you."
"Whoever dares not is a coward!"
A word stirred up a thousand waves, my words annoyed everyone, no one is willing to admit that he or she is afraid to go coward, so we will be in that evening, secretly run to the ten people ditch.
Ten people ditch is a not deep not shallow dirt ditch, very long, full of grass, we arrived, the sky is already very dark, there is no one around, very quiet very quiet, quiet creepy.
It was the time of the autumn tiger, the weather was very hot, we ran all sweating, but when we arrived at the Ten People's Ditch, we couldn't feel the heat at all.
The air was stuffy, yet eerie, and cool air bubbled up from the ground, seeping silky into my flesh and giving me goosebumps.
We then wandered around in the bushes to find the body of the burnt child, but we couldn't find it, and we didn't see any places that looked like they had been burnt by fire.
The sky is getting darker and darker, the ditch is getting colder and colder, and the surrounding area is getting deader and deader, the timid children can't stand it anymore, and they all want to leave, and gradually, there are only two children left, Erwa Zi and I. I'm the one who came up with the idea, of course.
I am the idea of the person, of course, can not go, two children older than me several years, has always been the head of the children, he is also embarrassed to go, the two of us will be there to consume, until we find the body until.
The moon climbed up, rose high and looked bright, but the ditch was still dark, as if the moonlight could not shine here.
"Oooh ......"
Suddenly, a burst of sob that makes my scalp numb came violently, I was scared and shivered, and hurriedly looked around, a shadow is not, but that cry is still intermittent, a strange wind blew steeply, the four sides of the grass rustling, as if someone is in the bushes drilling the same.
I quickly tugged the two wazi a hand, two wazi also scared face like dirt, trembling said: "as if someone is crying."
I swallowed a mouthful of spit, said: "I also heard, just do not see people."
Erwazi said, "What to do? Still looking or not?"
I said, "Not counting, they are all gone, only two of us left, even if we find it, we are the only two people to see, no fun."
Erwazi nodded his head and said, "I think so too, besides, it's dark and can't see well, why don't we wait until tomorrow."
Once scared, no matter what it is, you don't want to show off anymore.
I and two wazi scared like a dog, scrambling to climb out of the ditch, this time people's inferiority is manifested, once the start to escape, it depends on who runs fast. The second child is a few years older than me, big, nimble, fast, he first climbed the ditch to go, I saw in the back, more and more anxious, while shouting at him, while hands and feet, the second child is not righteous, climbed the ditch also do not care about me, run like a rabbit.
I was so anxious that I almost cried out, it was not easy to climb to the ditch bank, see to go out, but the ankle was violently tight, the body fell sharply, I screamed, can not help but turn my head to see, this time, the moonlight actually seems to shine into the ditch, all things can be seen clearly. And I suddenly realized that a pair of blood-red eyes were staring straight at me, and there was a charred black hand holding my ankle in a death grip!
It was a human being, burned!
The body and limbs were charred as black as charcoal, but the head was fine, especially those eyes, glaring round and wide, full of resentment!
"Ah! Erwa-chan! Help me!"
I screamed miserably again, my crotch had already gotten wet long ago, I shouted hysterically for Erwazi, but there was no echo, Erwazi had already run far away, perhaps he couldn't hear my screams at all, and even if he did, he wouldn't come back to save me.
I struggled to crawl far away, but I don't know whether it was because I couldn't use my strength, or I was gripped too tightly by that hand, I struggled to come and go and was still almost in the same place.
Instead, he slowly moved closer towards me, those eyes slowly coming towards my face, a hideous smile gradually squeezing out of the corners of his mouth.
"Come stay with me ......"
I heard a low sigh, and in an instant my heart went blank, my mind was foggy, and my body seemed to be picked up by the wind, lightly wanting to fly away ......
