I mentioned Xiao Jing out of desperation, in order to test the authenticity of the Zhao Qi in front of me.

But as soon as the words came out, I regretted it.

Zhao Qi's body shook violently at first, and then looked at me with an indescribably complex gaze.

Seeing this look that combines a variety of emotions such as sadness, doubt and hope, I can be sure that he is indeed the Zhao Qi I am familiar with.

I squeezed his shoulder hard and said:

"There's no signal in the mountains at all, how did you call him?"

"I'm sorry, I had to confirm your identity first."

Zhao Qi took a deep breath, "I just sent Sang Lan and the others back to the village, and I was about to go to find you." ”

I looked up at the village in front of me, and I couldn't help but be suspicious again, looked at him and asked, "Don't you think something is wrong?" ”

"So they're doing it!"

Zhao Qi frowned and nodded, and said:

"There may be something wrong with the policeman surnamed Feng, I took Sang Lan and them down the hill, the motorcycle is gone, it should be the surname Feng who ran back and drove away. You said you wanted me to bring them back, but I had to walk them for a few hours to get back here. ”

"How many hours?" Ji Yayun looked at him in astonishment, and then turned to look at me.

Before the words fell, a strange cry of "wow" suddenly came from the top of his head.

Seeing her reaction, Zhao Qi was stunned for a moment and asked, "What's wrong?" ”

Seeing this look that combines a variety of emotions such as sadness, doubt and hope, I can be sure that he is indeed the Zhao Qi I am familiar with.

"Take me to Sang Lan and them!" I said something in a hurry, pulled Ji Yayun and walked briskly towards the village.

Zhao Qi frowned and nodded, and said:

When I came to the village full of doubts, I was stunned when I saw a jeep parked under a big tree.

It was the police car that Zhao Qi and I drove.

Sure enough, this is Niujiao Village!

But I couldn't figure it out, during the day, Zhao Qiming and I drove on a motorcycle for more than 40 minutes to reach the vicinity of Niuyangou; Zhao Qi also said just now that he took Sang Lan's family on foot for several hours before returning here; Ji Yayun and I just came out of the grave, and we didn't walk for long, why did we return to the village?

Zhao Qi said as he led the way to the village:

"I wanted to call the local police, but the phone couldn't get through, and Sang Lan's father said that he stayed at the village chief's house for one night because he was unfamiliar with him when he came last time, so I had to settle them in the village chief's house first."

I said that it would be convenient for me to go out, and just as I was about to go out, I saw the old village chief walking in with a plate of steamed buns.

As he spoke, he came to a courtyard.

Pushing open the courtyard door, I saw that the main house was lit with lights, and Sang Lan's family was sitting in the house talking to an old man.

"Lanlan!" Ji Yayun shouted in surprise.

"Auntie!"

Turned around and went back to the window.

"Yayun!" A family of three in the house got up at the same time.

As soon as she entered the house, Sang Lan took Ji Yayun's hand and cried:

"Auntie, where have you been? We've been looking for you for most of the day, but we haven't been able to find you. ”

I looked at Sang Lan and turned to the woman.

I was a little relieved to see the way she looked at me.

I would never be mistaken by the look in her eyes, and even when I first saw her, I felt a special sense of familiarity.

Zhao Qi introduced us and said that the old man's surname was Cao and he was the village chief of Niujiao Village.

At this point, I'm completely confused.

I nodded to the old village chief, sat down in a chair weakly, lit a cigarette, and smoked one puff after another.

Zhao Qi was obviously aroused by me just now, and he smoked on the side without saying a word.

Zhao Qi frowned and nodded, and said:

After listening to Ji Yayun's conversation, I learned that the family arrived at the house of Ye Langzhong in Niuyangou, and after being brought into the house by Ye Langzhong, they first greeted each other, and then Ye Langzhong said to prepare a meal, but not long after Ye Langzhong went out, they found that someone was missing.

The difference is that as soon as Ji Yayun turned around, he disappeared Sang Lan's family of three, and Sang Lan and the others found that Ji Yayun was gone.

"Xu Qiu, why are you here?" Sang Lan asked me.

I glanced at Ji Yayun, "It's your aunt who called me." ”

Sang Lan and her father glanced at each other, then turned to Ji Yayun and asked:

"There's no signal in the mountains at all, how did you call him?"

"I don't know...... Anyway, it got through. Ji Yayun said sneeringly.

Sang Lan's father walked up to me and nodded at me, "Thank you for coming." ”

"You're welcome."

I said absent-mindedly, looking around the house, still puzzled by the process of returning to the village.

"Gollum ......"

As soon as I looked at the sudden sound of 'drumming', I saw Sang Lan blushing and tilting her head to the side.

Her father turned to the old village chief and said politely:

"Uncle, we spent most of the day in the mountains, and we are all hungry, can you help us get some food?"

The old village chief may be old, and he has been squinting since just now and has not spoken much.

At this time, as soon as he heard him, he answered twice, "Oh oh", "I'll go and help you get steamed buns." ”

Zhao Qi frowned and nodded, and said:

When the old village chief went out, the more I thought about it, the more I felt that something was wrong.

No matter how evil it is, the distance between the two points will not change.

It can be seen that Zhao Qi and Sang Lan's family of three all looked exhausted, and they all said that they had walked for several hours to return here.

Thinking of the 'Zhao Qi' from before, I couldn't sit still anymore.

I said that it would be convenient for me to go out, and just as I was about to go out, I saw the old village chief walking in with a plate of steamed buns.

I looked at the plate of steamed buns, and somehow, the weird feeling became even stronger.

I said hello to the old village chief, went out of the hall, and walked around the courtyard, but found nothing unusual.

I thought about it, took out my mobile phone, and when I saw that there was a signal, I wanted to call the blind man.

"There's no signal in the mountains at all, how did you call him?"

Before the number was broadcast, I inadvertently heard a soft noise from a nearby room, as if something had been knocked over.

I glanced at the hall and saw that the old village chief had his back to this side, so I walked slowly to the outside of the room, turned on the flash and peeked through the window.

I glanced at the hall and saw that the old village chief had his back to this side, so I walked slowly to the outside of the room, turned on the flash and peeked through the window.

Before the words fell, a strange cry of "wow" suddenly came from the top of his head.

Just one glance, I was a little discouraged.

This is a kitchen.

"Xu Fu, come over and eat steamed buns too!" Sang Lan walked to the door and called me.

I said yes, turned around and took just two steps, and suddenly felt excited.

When I came to the village full of doubts, I was stunned when I saw a jeep parked under a big tree.

Turned around and went back to the window.

"What's wrong?" Seeing this, Sang Lan walked over.

I turned on the flash again and shone into the house.

Sang Lan followed and looked inside, and said:

"The old village chief has taken steamed buns, what are you doing in other people's kitchens?"

"I wonder why this house is so old, and why the stove looks like it's not been open in a long time."

"Huh?" Sang Lan was stunned.

I looked at the unstained stove for a while, and suddenly I had the feeling of being spied on.

When I came to the village full of doubts, I was stunned when I saw a jeep parked under a big tree.

I closed my eyes and felt it carefully, then suddenly opened my eyes and shone the flash on the roof of the kitchen!

The moment I saw the roof, half of the doubts in my heart were suddenly solved.

"So they're doing it!"

"Who?" Sang Lan asked, and also saw the situation on the roof, "Ah, that's Mr. Ye's umbrella!" ”

Indeed, on the beam of the kitchen, there is an open oil-paper umbrella floating impressively, which is the five-treasure umbrella that Ye Langzhong never leaves!

"So they're doing it!"

There was a "stab" sound, and a car door was pulled down by him.

"What now?" Zhao Qi asked reluctantly calmly.

When I came to the courtyard and looked back, everyone was dumbfounded.

Zhao Qi and I hurried out of the village with a panicked family of four, and there were no village houses along the way, except for the occasional broken walls in the barren grass.

Before the words fell, a strange cry of "wow" suddenly came from the top of his head.

If you look closely, this is a jeep, it is simply a paper car with colored paper paste!

The walls of the courtyard had already collapsed and crumbled, and the surrounding area was full of desolation, and even the house in front of us had half collapsed, except for a white candle, standing on a broken table covered with dust, flickering with firelight.

Without waiting for her to answer, I strode up to the old village chief and said sharply, "This is simply a steamed bun for ghosts!" You're not human, you're a ghost! ”

As he spoke, his figure quickly faded and soon disappeared.

"So I'm dead, no wonder...... No wonder......"

Zhao Qi frowned and nodded, and said:

Immediately followed by the strange screams, countless black crows rose into the air and flew in one direction all around.

As he spoke, his figure quickly faded and soon disappeared.

"Get out! Get out of here! This is not a Cow Horn Village at all! ”

Ji Yayun was frightened, "What's wrong?" ”

I brought the steamed bun to her, "Look at the red dot on it, does it feel a little familiar?" ”

I was shocked and angry, pulled Sang Lan and ran back to the main house, snatched the steamed bun that Ji Yayun was about to send into my mouth, and said loudly: "Don't eat it!" ”

As he spoke, his figure quickly faded and soon disappeared.

The old village chief was stunned for a moment, raised his eyes to look at me for a while, and then showed a relieved smile and muttered:

I was about to kick in the door when the five-treasure umbrella suddenly closed and flew out through the back window.

I shouted to the crowd to go out.

When he arrived at the entrance of the village, Zhao Qi instinctively ran towards the jeep, and when he arrived, he pulled the car door suddenly.
