According to modern science, the so-called ghost beating the wall means that when walking at night or in the suburbs, you can't distinguish the direction, your self perception is fuzzy, and you don't know where to go, so you always turn around in the same place.
It is difficult for others to understand such experience when telling others, so it is called ghost beating the wall. In fact, this is a hazy state of human consciousness.
However, Xiao Chen knows that some frightening things cannot be explained clearly from a scientific point of view.
It's like why there is a cemetery underground in the villa where Master Zhou's uncle Qin Yong lives. Why does it suddenly change to advanced lung cancer?
Now when they encounter this kind of thing, according to Dr. Wu and Dr. Liu, it is a normal phenomenon, so they will not be afraid.
However, brother Yang is afraid. For these Miao people, the most afraid thing is to encounter strange things, especially when it is still late at night.
"Dr. Xiao, I'm afraid. I dare not go." Yang Xiaoge said.
"What are you afraid of, a young man? Evil is more than right. What's more terrible? Aren't I here? "
What surprised Dr. Wu and Dr. Liu, and even brother Yang, was that Xiao Chen took it with him. In addition to the silver needles, one was sent by his master, the other was sent to protect himself, and there was also a stack of yellow paper he took with him.
These yellow papers are of no use to him.
However, Xiao Chen doesn't know when it will be used.
Now, Xiao Chen knows that it can be used.
Seeing that Xiao Chen took out the yellow paper he was carrying with him, brother Yang and Dr. Liu couldn't believe that Dr. Xiao was carrying these things.
"Dr. Xiao, what are you doing with this?" Dr. Wu asked strangely.
"Soon, you will know!"
Xiao Chen looked at young brother Yang and asked, "do you know the eight characters of the birthday of old Yang and his fellers?"
"I know two people."
After all, rural people's birthdays may not be as grand as those in big cities, and they don't eat cakes. However, there are still some people who kill chickens, ducks and invite people to dinner on their birthday. Therefore, brother Yang remembers two.
"Do you remember what they look like?"
"Know, know." I have lived in Yangjiazhai for more than 20 years. I often meet Yang Laowu. How can I not remember?
Younger brother Yang doesn't know what Xiao Chen is doing with these questions, but he always feels a little fresh.
"What do you think they look like?"
After brother Yang simply said the appearance and birth date of the two tree fellers, Xiao Chen took out the yellow paper and folded it directly according to what brother Yang said. After muttering a few words, he put it on the torch and burned it. Finally, the ashes were scattered.
Xiao Chen said, "don't be afraid of ghosts hitting the wall. Their souls will lead us over."
"Xiao, Dr. Xiao, how do I feel strange?" Dr. Wu said.
Xiao Chen smiled, but he didn't say anything.
Now Xiao Chen walks in front with a torch, while brother Yang is behind the crowd. Dr. Wu is in the middle. Now I don't know why brother Yang feels his hands trembling, his feet trembling and his whole body trembling. Does he feel that Xiao Chen won't be summoning souls just now?
Otherwise, how could Xiao Chen say those words?
However, he was afraid, but he continued to follow Xiao Chen.
As for Dr. Wu and Dr. Liu, they are deeply influenced by western culture and do not believe in ghosts. Moreover, it was common to dissect the dead in the past.
Don't be afraid of the dead.
Dr. Wu is curious about what Xiao Chen just did?
Now Xiao Chen is walking directly in front. Vaguely, others can't feel it, but Xiao Chen feels that something is showing them the way.
Xiao Chen and brother Yang walked for a long time. They felt that they had walked for about three or four hours, and it was almost more than one o'clock in the morning.
Finally, Xiao Chen found that he didn't feel the footsteps again. When Xiao Chen stopped, he found that he didn't encounter the situation of just hitting the wall, but came to a place where he didn't know where.
Here, Xiao Chen saw several big trees around him, all of which had been cut down. Now there were only wood and those branches.
These branches still look very new. This should be where Yang Laowu cut wood for the last time before they got sick.
"This is the last place where Yang Laowu cut trees before they died." Xiao Chen said faintly.
It's nothing to walk just now, but now stop. Except Xiao Chen, brother Yang, Dr. Wu, Dr. Zhang and Dr. Liu are all very tired. Moreover, they haven't felt fear just now. I don't know why. Now they feel a sense of unspeakable fear.
Why is that?
They don't know.
Maybe fear of the unknown!
"Xiao, Dr. Xiao, I'm afraid." Yang Xiaoge said.
At this time, he didn't look like a vigorous young man at all. Instead, he didn't know why he felt very scared.
"What are you afraid of? Yang Laowu's soul has already dispersed and won't come to you."
"Well, did you just?"
Xiao Chen ignored brother Yang. He first found a place nearby with a lot of fire. Then Xiao Chen found that all the old trees cut down here are camphor trees. These camphor trees have a history of at least two or three hundred years. If they have not been cut down, they must be towering trees.
Now it's all light around. Xiao Chen finds that there are many sawdust left by tree cutting chainsaws and a large area of activity on the ground. The crushed small trees and weeds have not recovered.
So many old trees were cut down. How much time did Yang Laowu spend before they died.
Seeing that brother Yang was still shivering, Xiao Chen asked, "how long did it take them to cut trees for the last time, that is, in this place?"
"It may take half a month." Yang Xiaoge said.
Xiao Chen learned from village head Yang last night that Yang Laowu didn't go back and forth several times a day to cut trees in the mountain, but went up the mountain with dry food. This shows that they worked in the mountain and then rested and ate. When the old trees were cut down and the dry food was finished, they went down the mountain to the village to get dry food, and then came back to move these cut old trees outside.
Xiao Chen guesses this is the case, but as for the specific process, Xiao Chen is not very clear for the time being.
Xiao Chensheng did a lot of work and asked brother Yang, Dr. Wu and Dr. Liu to sit there and rest, drink the water from the trees and vines, and then start working.
Of course, now Xiao Chen is looking for useful clues.
When Dr. Wu and Dr. Liu rested for more than half an hour, they finally recovered their strength. Soon, they also wanted to enter the working state like Xiao Chen and began to look for useful clues.
