Chapter 19 Who is Broken Throat?
"What?" General Xue was stunned for a moment, then listened carefully, only to find that there were only animals howling outside.
"Dad, what is this cry?" Xue Lei was also woken up.
At first glance, the scream sounded like it was outside their window, but if you listened carefully, it seemed to be far away.
"I don't know." General Xue couldn't tell what animal it was, but he always felt that the cry was very sad. "Long Baoer, go to sleep! Uncle, give me a pat."
General Xue patted the little girl on the back several times. Long Baoer became sleepy and fell asleep again.
But in the middle of the night, a miserable howl suddenly came from the village, and almost half of the village was awakened by the sound.
Long Baoer was startled and opened his eyes suddenly, "Uncle, what is this sound?"
General Xue held the little girl in his arms and whispered, "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid. My uncle is here, so there is no need to be afraid of Long Bao'er!"
"Yes!" The little girl responded with a milky voice, burying her head in General Xue's arms, and her breathing gradually became steady.
"Dad, let me go out and take a look." Xue Lei whispered.
Seeing his father nod slightly, Xue Lei put on his coat.
Long Baoer seemed to be talking in his sleep, "Brother, brother..."
"Well, Long Bao'er, brother is here."
Seeing the little girl stretch out her little hand to grab it, Xue Lei stretched out his fingers and shook her hand. The little girl was satisfied, and Xue Lei chuckled, slowly took out his fingers and turned around to leave the room.
As soon as he walked to the outer room, Xue Lei heard the door next door open. It was the old man of this family who opened the door and came out, "Brother, do you want to go out to see what's going on? No!"
"Old man, why is this? There is something wrong with this voice." Xue Lei said.
Although he was not very old, he had been on the battlefield with General Xue and had seen dead people.
So he could tell that even though the scream just now didn't sound like it was coming from a human being, it was indeed a human scream.
What kind of situation could make a person scream like this in the middle of the night?
"There is indeed something wrong with this sound. In fact, I was afraid that you would be scared, so I spoke with some reservations." The old man turned around and lit the oil lamp, "In our town, there will be sounds like this every once in a while."
"Then, who sent it?"
"I don't know, I don't know who called it. Anyway, if I ask when I wake up the next day, no one knows." The old man shook his head, "But people who go out to look for the sound will get into trouble."
"What happened?"
"Hey, they will all be unconscious under the willow tree at the entrance of the village, and then they will get seriously ill one after another." The old man shook his head, "Brother, you are just passing by, don't cause this trouble. Don't get you involved."
"Let's do this, old man." Xue Lei thought for a moment, "I'll go out and see the brothers living in the other two families, and tell them not to act rashly, they won't go far."
"Oh, that's good. You have to be careful. If you meet someone talking to you, don't look back." The old man told him again and again.
"Well, okay." Xue Lei didn't know what the other party meant, so he turned around and walked out through the yard.
After leaving the old man's house, he walked past one house, which was the two houses where other people lived.
As I was walking, I suddenly heard a woman's voice calling softly from behind me, "Brother! Brother!"
Xue Lei subconsciously wanted to look back.
But when he looked back, he suddenly remembered what the old man said to him when he went out.
Xue Lei immediately noticed something was wrong.
The old man would never tell him like this for no reason.
Also, there weren’t many people in this village, so how could a young woman be walking on the road in the middle of the night?
Could this be some kind of female ghost?
Thinking of this, Xue Lei shivered instantly. Not only did he not dare to look back, but he also walked faster and faster.
Unexpectedly, although Xue Lei walked quickly, the voice behind him caught up with him, with complaints in his voice.
"Brother, why are you ignoring people?"
"Brother, wait for me!"
"You little brother, why are you so ignorant of compassion?"
"It's pitiful that I, a weak woman, meet such a heartless young man like you."
Xue Lei, who had never been afraid of killing people on the battlefield, was already sweating profusely.
The pace went from fast to jogging, but now it was as if something was chasing and biting her behind, and she was running like crazy.
But he also noticed something was wrong.
He also walked back and forth between these houses for a few days today. Although the distance was not particularly close, it was not far.
At the speed and effort he is running at now, even if he has gone back and forth ten times, he hasn't arrived yet?
Could it be that this is the legendary ghost hitting the wall?
Wanting to fight here, Xue Lei suddenly lost his temper.
Panting, he slowed down and looked carefully ahead and to the left and right.
But today there is not even a moon in the sky, every household in the village is asleep, and there is no light around.
Xue Lei thought for a while, and pulled out a fire stick from the back of the boot. The fire lit up with a pop, and the surrounding area lit up instantly.
When the Huozhezi lights up, not only can the surrounding scenery be roughly seen, but even the surrounding air is invisibly warmed, as if something has been driven away.
It's just a pity that the light that could originally illuminate about one foot can only illuminate about three feet now.
The surroundings were still dark, like a thick fog that could not be broken away.
With the Huozhezi in hand, Xue Lei felt somewhat at ease.
Looking at the situation around him, he understood to some extent that he must have encountered something dirty.
I just don’t know where this place is and how he can get out.
After wandering around for a long time without any hope of getting out, and with the voice behind him still talking from time to time, Xue Lei finally couldn't help it anymore.
If he can't get out, the sound can always get out, right?
Xue Lei closed his eyes and turned around, not caring about his face, he pulled his neck and shouted, "Dad! Huzi! Sanshun! Who can hear my voice!"
Xue Lei shouted back and forth several times, and the voice behind him suddenly laughed.
"Hehehehe, brother, don't waste your energy."
"Even if you scream until your throat is broken, no one will come to save you."
Before he finished speaking, Xue Lei heard a milky voice saying, "Who is Broken Throat? Why did brother call him?"
Xue Lei was overjoyed when he heard the voice, "Long Baoer!"
But immediately, he realized something and shouted, "Long Bao'er, it's dangerous here, leave quickly!"
"Brother, don't worry!" After Long Baoer comforted Xue Lei, he shouted angrily at someone, "Go away!"
Then Xue Lei felt something tap his thigh.
In an instant, the black fog disappeared in front of his eyes.
Xue Lei saw General Xue standing in front of him and Long Baoer holding his thigh.
Behind General Xue, there were several people standing, including Mr. Ma Dao, Dr. Song, the soldiers he just called, and the old man from the house where they lived.
