The team continued to march five or six miles, and Wang Han and the others, who were serving as outposts in front, finally saw two people coming on the road, all dressed in shabby clothes, who seemed to be local people.

Seeing the men coming, the two people hurriedly hid on the side of the road, bowing their heads, not daring to look at the procession.

Wang Hanchi immediately stepped forward and asked, "Are the two fellows from here?" ”

An older man raised his head and said, "Yes...... What do you command? ”

"Dare to ask, we are going to Zhongyizhuang, but we don't know which way to go, and I ask you for advice?" After Wang Han finished speaking, he actually arched his hand towards the two people.

I know that when the two people heard the word "Zhongyizhuang", they were shocked and changed color, and the younger person next to them had lost their voices: "You guys...... Are you going to Zhongyizhuang? ”

"Not bad." Wang Han smiled: "Please also ask the two of you to help show the way." ”

The old man had already waved his hand and said, "We...... We don't know......! He took the young man and turned to leave.

Seeing that the old man was leaving, he slapped his horse and stepped forward to block the way, and said angrily: "You old man, why are you so polite?" We are just asking for a way, why don't you answer? Pointing to the young man, he said, "He obviously knows where Zhongyizhuang is, why don't you let him say it?" ”

The young man hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Villain...... The villain doesn't know. ”

With a "choking" sound, Fat Liu pulled out his saber and shouted angrily: "Nonsense, you know it, but you dare to lie?" Do you know what crime you have committed by deceiving the government? ”

Yingren and his party had already approached behind, and Chu Huan saw Fat Liu draw his knife, clapped his horse and came up, and said in a deep voice: "Fat Liu, what are you doing?" Don't put the knife away yet. ”

Fat Liu didn't dare to disobey, put away the knife, Chu Huan had already smiled at the old man and asked, "Old man, we are just asking for directions, don't be afraid." We are going to Zhongyi Village, and we are not familiar with the people here, so we need two people to help guide the way. ”

The old man looked at Chu Huan twice, and finally said, "Do you really want to go to Zhongyi Village?" ”

"Yes."

The old man sighed: "Forgive the villain for talking too much, it's better not to go to Zhongyizhuang." To tell you the truth, as far as the villain knows, few of the guests who stayed in Zhongyizhuang were able to leave alive, and it was a cemetery, and there were ...... ghosts haunted! ”

Chu Huan frowned, he knew that these ordinary people believed in the words of ghosts and gods the most, but he was afraid that this old man would say even more ridiculous things and affect morale, so he interrupted and smiled: "The old man is serious." We went to Zhongyizhuang, but there was an emergency, and I asked the old man to show us the way. ”

The old man thought for a while, and finally said: "You go a few miles ahead, you will see an old locust tree, the old locust tree has been many years, you can recognize it at a glance, there is a dirt road next to the old locust tree, very narrow, you turn into it along the dirt road, keep going down, you can see Zhongyi Village......!" Shaking his head and sighing, "I advise you not to go......!" He said no more, and took the young man with him.

Yingren and the others had already followed, and the old man also heard the words and frowned, but he didn't say anything, just ordered: "Go to Zhongyi Village." ”

In fact, everyone is very strange in their hearts, Yingren came to Mao County, did not go to the county seat, but went to Zhongyizhuang, and did not know what Yingren was going to do.

The old man in the countryside was obviously very taboo about Zhongyizhuang, and even persuaded everyone not to go to Zhongyizhuang, although everyone did not show traces, but they still had a gloomy feeling in their hearts, and they only felt that they were panicked.

They are not afraid of strong and vicious enemies, but they are still somewhat fearful of gods and ghosts.

Everyone continued to move forward, but Yingren called Wang Han and asked, "Have you heard of Zhongyizhuang before?" ”

Wang Han knew that Yingren's status was noble, and said respectfully: "Yes, I heard someone say it a few years ago. ”

"What do you mean?"

Wang Han hesitated for a moment before he said softly: "It's also that they are boring and gossiping in private." It is said that once a dozen or so outsiders passed by Zhongyizhuang, it was very late, so they stayed in Zhongyizhuang, but the next day they all died inexplicably. When the government came to investigate, there were no scars on their bodies, no signs of poison in their internal organs, and everyone's expressions after death were ...... They all looked terrified, as if they had seen a very terrible scene before they died...... The cause of death could not be found afterwards, so the matter was not ....... ”

Yingren only felt a little chill on his body, so he tightened his clothes, and even reined in the horse and stopped moving forward.

At this time, the sunset had already set, and it was dark between heaven and earth, and there was no village in the Fang Yuan book, and the wind was blowing in the wilderness, and it was indeed gloomy and cold.

Yingren was silent for a moment, and finally gritted his teeth and said, "Let's go, move on." ”

Wang Han arched his hand, turned the horse's head, and went forward to lead the way.

Yingren turned his head to look at Chu Huan and asked softly, "Chu Huan, do you say that rumor is true or false?" ”

"There may be dead people, but they are definitely not the work of ghosts." Chu Huan was very sure.

Yingren smiled reluctantly and didn't say much.

Go forward a few miles, sure enough, I saw a tall old locust tree, as the old man said before, this old locust tree is really many years, tall and big, the trunk is extremely thick, the branches are scattered, and the branches also show a lot of new shoots, next to the old locust tree, but there are some dead vines thicker than the arm, the dead vines are wrapped around the trunk of the old locust tree, at the top of the locust tree, but there is a row of old crows resting on it, making a "quack" sound, quite ominous.

On the edge of the old locust tree, there is indeed a very narrow dirt road, which can accommodate a horse at a time, but on both sides there are thorns and withered vines, and it is difficult for passers-by.

Wang Han was the first to go up to the trail, followed one by one, Feng Wuma in front of Yingren, Li Maotu behind, and Chu Huan behind Li Maotu.

More than 20 people formed a line, wandering forward on the dirt road, under the dim sky, looking from a distance, it was really like a team of wandering spirits walking into the road of Yellow Springs, strange and bleak.

This dirt road turned out to be very long, and the sky became darker and darker, and Fat Liu followed behind Wang Han, and couldn't help muttering: "Old Wang, shouldn't those two guys lie to us?" Deliberately lead us to this place where dogs don't poop and birds don't lay eggs? ”

Wang Han shook his head and pointed to the side of the road: "Look there, there is a bubble of, but I don't know if it was pulled down by a wild dog." ”

Fat Liu said embarrassedly: "I'm serious with you." ”

"I'm serious, too." Wang Han said lightly and pointed ahead: "Maybe there is Zhongyi Village." ”

Fat Willow looked up, only to see a shadow in front of him, there was still some way away, but when he looked closely, he saw a heavy shadow in the distance, and it seemed that an ancient huge flood monster was crawling on the earth.

Gradually approaching the shadow, but slowly see clearly, there is indeed a house, high courtyard wall, quaint gate, in front of the door are mostly withered vines and old trees, and the high courtyard wall is covered with moss, it seems that it has not been taken care of for many years, the quaint gate black paint has fallen off most of the time, many places have exposed the rotten wood inside, on the head of the door, but there are three words carved in stone "Zhongyizhuang", it has been many years, and the handwriting is only barely recognizable.

When everyone came to the gate of this Zhongyi Village, there was a chill, that is, Chu Huan did not believe in ghosts and gods, but he was also cautious and panicked, and felt a little uncomfortable.

The old house in the desert is gloomy, desolate and depressed, and at night, it is even more weird, no matter who comes here, it will not feel very comfortable.

Even the horses that sat down seemed to be uneasy, snorting and kicking their hooves uneasily.

More than 20 people surrounded Yingren, but they didn't speak, Yingren looked at the old and quaint gate, and couldn't help but ask Chu Huan beside him: "Is this...... Are there any residents? Is it a deserted house? ”

Chu Huan was stunned, but was surprised.

Coming to Zhongyizhuang was Yingren's idea, although Chu Huan didn't know what Yingren wanted, but he only thought that Yingren must have a plan, but when he arrived here, Yingren suddenly asked such a sentence, and he seemed to know nothing about Zhongyizhuang, which made Chu Huan feel very surprised, and he didn't know why Yingren came here.

Chu Huan asked softly, "Your Highness, are we going in?" ”

Yingren hesitated for a moment and nodded, Chu Huan then signaled Wang Han to go up and knock on the door, Wang Han turned over and dismounted, but he was also a little nervous, one hand tightened the handle of the sword, slowly stepped forward, walked to the door, raised his hand and knocked on the door hard.

The death-like silence of the whole Zhongyi Zhuang was completely shrouded in the night, but it seemed that there was really no trace, Wang Han's knocking on the door was extremely loud, and the sound of "bang bang bang" diffused, which seemed extremely loud in this silent place.

After knocking more than ten times, but no one opened the door, Wang Han frowned, but Feng Wuma had already said in a deep voice: "Kick open the door!" ”

Wang Han nodded, raised his foot and wanted to kick, but at this moment, he heard a "crunch" sound, and the dilapidated but heavy door had slowly opened, revealing a gap.

Although Wang Han was not small, he was still taken aback, and couldn't help but take two steps back, almost pulling out his knife.

There was a fire through the crack of the door, and everyone first saw a white lantern visible through the crack of the door, and then by the light of the white lantern, everyone saw a face clearly.

Seeing that face, even Chu Huan gasped.

It was an inhuman-shaped face, from his left eyebrow bone to the lower right corner of his lip, which had obviously been slashed alive, and a clear and obvious knife mark was revealed.

His left eye was completely blind, and the scar on his face turned out, hideous and terrifying, maybe he had stayed in this strange place for too long, and his whole person also exuded a strange and gloomy aura, and the remaining eye, gloomy and gloomy, glanced at everyone outside, and then asked in a hoarse and low voice: "Who are you looking for?" ”

He didn't seem to have spoken in a long time, and even his pronunciation was a little jerky.

Wang Han glanced back, Yingren suppressed the horror in his heart, urged him to step forward, and asked, "Cai Shisan, but he lives here?" Root...... I'm here to find Cai Thirteen. ”

The Scar Man stared at Yingren with one eye, and asked in a hoarse voice, "Are you looking for Cai Thirteen?" Which Cai Thirteen? ”

Yingren turned over and dismounted, hesitated for a moment, and finally walked forward, Feng Wu and Ma Chuhuan followed left and right, and Li Maotu did not slack off, and followed closely.

A few steps away from the door, Yingren finally stopped, he reached out and took out something from his arms, and it lit up in front of the scarred man's eyes, the scarred man frowned, but he didn't speak, and closed the door.
