The effect of the green snake's scales is not only to repel mosquitoes, but also to the crickets and weavers in the grass.

To be precise, there are not even these insects nearby, and there is silence in all directions, and if you deliberately listen, you will probably scare yourself into the creeps after a long time.

The left-behind elderly people went to bed early, before eight o'clock, and the lights in most of the inhabited houses were turned off one after another.

The old village chief looked at the tent in his yard for a while, and the light from the house reflected his shadow in the old man's shadow, and after a moment he turned back and closed the door, and the house fell into darkness inside and outside.

Lao Chen, who rubbed the turquoise snake scales in his hand, as if he was about to make out the pulp, proposed: "How about you?

Since you have come to this village where there are rumors of haunted houses, but you can't get accurate news, you can't sleep until dawn with your head covered.

After the sun goes down, the temperature difference between morning and evening in the mountains is large, and the cold gradually hits at this time, making people feel cool, but it is no longer the sultry heat of the day, but the cold will get deeper and deeper, and you have to add a blanket in the second half of the night.

The tent has long been padded with a large latex mat and straw mat, and there are air-conditioned quilts and blankets.

"Okay, you rest first, I'll keep an eye here. ”

Li Bai took out his laptop, set his mobile phone as a hotspot, and went online to read the news to pass the time.

He's still the same old machine, and the battery time is up to an hour and a half.

Fortunately, there are also portable outdoor power banks, which can not only charge laptops and mobile phones, but also power lamp poles and other devices, as long as you add an extra set of power strips, enough to supply a total of 800W of power output at the same time.

There is a higher-power external power supply and generator in the storage ring, and even the cabinet air conditioner can be dragged around.

Lao Chen pinched the snake scales and yawned as he got into the tent, and the space inside was spacious enough to lie down for four or five people.

Because there were no mosquitoes to disturb him, he didn't even put down the curtain at the door, and let the cool breeze blow in, feeling so uncomfortable, and soon fell asleep.

Li Bai was at the folding table outside the tent, pulling the keyboard of his laptop and flipping through the news.

The turmoil of Kunlun Demon Domain Company has come to an end for the time being, but the masterminds behind the scenes have not all been brought to justice, the domestic ones have to be pulled into a piece of skin, and most of the foreign ones are protracted lawsuits, when it can be over, even the lawyer team can't give it time.

Local protectionism is not a characteristic of China, and when placed abroad, it will only become more blatant, and there is a lofty saying called trade barriers, which is one of the means by which a strong country specifically bullies a weak country.

In the dead of night, close to the end of the day.

Li Bai was not tired at all, still staring at the laptop screen, not caring at all that the legendary haunted house was nearby.

During this period, a few daring beasts broke into the village, their eyes glowing faintly under the light of the street lamp, and they hesitated to look at the tent surrounded by four bright light poles and Li Bai, and suddenly shivered involuntarily, with a ghost crying wolf howl, and fled without looking back.

When the wild beasts entered the village, they didn't even have the courage to scream, they only wandered in the yard with their tails between their legs, and when they noticed that those uninvited guests had escaped from the village, they dared to bark twice weakly, and they didn't know if it was to intimidate those beasts, or to give themselves courage, and after a while, they went into their kennel and confessed again.

In order to protect the environment and wildlife, hunting in the mountains has long been banned, not to mention hunting rifles, and there is not even a hunter.

The young people in the village like to raise not arrogant and fierce mountain dogs, but all kinds of pet dogs, and over time, all the dog breeds in the village have become strings.

It's okay to be skewered by Erha or waste wood, if it is skewered by Corgi, then it is called a husky, the genes of the little short legs catch who is short, there is no false hair, it is simply a natural enemy with long legs, the offspring can not be washed off, and it is not surprising to give birth to a litter of cowardice, the good end of the mountain dog wolf clan bloodline no longer exists, reduced to the daily life playmates of the old man and the old lady, where is there any ability to take care of the home, did not abandon the master for the first time, and it is very rare to run away by yourself.

Under the cover of night, as if the mountain wind was blowing through the branches and leaves, the rustling sound came and went.

A cricket chirped, followed by the cooing of an owl on the other side.

Insects, night birds, and cats are intertwined, and from the middle of the night, the originally quiet village gradually becomes lively.

A faint light appeared in the darkness, slowly rising and expanding, and then disappearing again, drawing various outlines that are difficult to describe in words, like ghosts.

"What time is it?"

Old Chen Tou slept lightly, and as soon as there was something strange around him, he woke up.

"It's only twelve o'clock. ”

Li Bai slowly closed the browser window on the screen and prepared to shut down.

From a distance, it is clear that those lights that appear inexplicably are the legendary ghost fire, also known as phosphorus fire.

It is common in the area of the burial mound of the old bottom, where a small amount of white phosphorus through a complex chemical reaction penetrates the soil layer, emits from the ground, and slowly spontaneously combusts in the air, as well as fluorescent reactions.

This phenomenon is going on all the time, obscured by the sun during the day and imperceptible, and after sunset, it is particularly striking in the darkness where you can't see your fingers.

"What's going on!"

Old Chen Tou listened intently in the tent, and always felt that something was not quite right, and he felt panicked.

Li Bai said as a matter of course: "Haunted!"

With the snake scales of the Qingyao Demon Maiden as the center, how could there be insects and birds chirping within fifty steps, and cats screaming, this is obviously unscientific.

"Where, where?"

Old Chen poked his head out of the tent door, and he was still draped in a towel blanket.

But my eyes were wide open, and I still didn't see anything.

"Here, night vision. ”

Li Bai handed over a thing and snapped his fingers casually.

The four light poles surrounding the tent were extinguished in unison, and the two of them, along with the tent and the folding tables and chairs, disappeared into the darkness at the same time.

Lao Chen Tou took the monocular night vision device like the director's viewfinder and brought it in front of his eyes, and the originally black vision immediately lit up.

It's not as good as daylight, but it's better than not seeing anything.

Something seemed to shake at the entrance of the alley in the distance, and Old Chen Tou exclaimed excitedly.

"There's something!"

"It's a cat!"

Li Bai also has a binocular in his hand, which is more advanced, an infrared thermal imager.
