Can you talk about it tonight? This sentence sounded very heavy, and I absentmindedly carried the water into the house with Ruyue, and I couldn't guess what terrible things would happen at night in the town? Zombies coming out for activities? Or is it a hundred ghosts walking at night? Yin soldiers borrow the way? No, no, no, the last one is almost impossible, there is no famine, there is no war era, there is no large number of dead souls, where will there be Yin soldiers to talk about it?

I can't even figure out what will happen this night. And the long years of experience, I have almost nothing to fear, even if Li Fengxian stands in front of me, I am numb, it is estimated that the old village chief can make me startled, but that's all, I will calm down quickly.

It was because I couldn't imagine what would happen at night in the village, and such speculation could give birth to a hint of fear in my numb heart, and it was not easy for me to touch this taste!

Out of my mind, I was interrupted by Brother Chengxin's howl: "Chengyi, tell the truth, don't you see that I am more handsome than you and more popular than you than women, so you want to burn me into a disabled person, and you have a bad anger in your heart?" ”

"Huh?" I didn't come back to my senses.

And Brother Chengxin's white face was already distorted, and he pointed at me and said, "Are you still down?" ”

I reacted at once, only to find that I thought about things very seriously, while thinking, while heating the water in the basin where we washed our feet, I forgot to stop, poor Chengxin brother wanted to 'take a advantage', first wash my feet, but the feet soaked in the basin were heated by me out of the water, and scalded red, like a dehaired pig's trotters, and it was boiling boiling water on it, and I didn't dare to take it out.

When I reacted, Ruyue had already hurried over and snatched the pot in my hand, and then laughed non-stop, I looked at Brother Chengxin who was grinning at me there, and said angrily: "I'm sorry, just let me take a breath of evil in my heart." ”

"I knew it." Brother Chengxin glared at me, and Ruyue smiled even more uncontrollably.

But just when the atmosphere was just relaxed, our hidden door was pushed open coldly, and the old man appeared in front of us again with a red face, which startled the three of us at the same time.

What's funny is his expression, obviously his own room, but he seems to be a little embarrassed to appear in front of us.

"You'd better go." The old man didn't give up, seeing that the three of us were silent, just staring at him inexplicably, he seemed to have a lot of effort before he said: "I came out of the yard to boil water, and I heard the three of you laughing happily in the house, your life is so good, I don't want to ruin you, you really go." ”

"You think we must have been ruined?" Brother Chengxin lifted his glasses, and his signature smile was hung on the corner of his mouth, gentle, unhurried, and his comfortable tone could not be refuted, of course, his movements were a little funny, and he was carefully wiping his feet that were burned into dehaired pig's trotters.

"Young people are always competitive, haven't they been here before? It can't be solved, it's not that there are people who died, and the reason hasn't even been found out, so it's over, this town is already a dead town, and the people who are alive here have no hope, and those who can go have already left, and the poor ones are just children. The old man's expression suddenly became sad, but the sadness was only fleeting, and it was replaced by a numb indifference.

"Things always have to be worked out." Brother Chengxin brewed his pair of pig's trotters, but the smile on his face was even gentler, and this smile seemed to give people infinite confidence.

"Forget it, I really can't persuade you. Then let me remind you, if something happens at night, don't resist, it's better not to know than to know! If something doesn't work, then don't be curious, don't be nosy, and save your life. I'm telling you all about it, you can't solve it, if you just want to come and see it, just go, many people who come here are still smart. With that, the old man turned and walked out of our room.

The three of us were left in great silence.

After a long time, Brother Chengxin said: "Do you say that there are really no strangers in this town, and you find any problems?" A town cannot be isolated. ”

This is also the question I just asked, but I don't want Ruyue to pout and say: "That's normal, people have always longed for prosperity, a town like this is usually not inflowed into the population, except for government agencies, basically many towns are aborigines, and there are few strangers who have no relationship at all, even if the scenery is beautiful, if it is remote, before it is developed, it is also like this." You are really lonely, in China, there are many small towns, and the villages are quite closed. ”

Ruyue's words made me want to catch something, but for a while, I couldn't react, I frowned and thought about it for a long time, I couldn't think of anything, so I had to give up, it seems that I can really only talk about it after tonight.

―――――――――――――――――――― dividing line―――――――――――――――――――――

The old man's room had been cleaned a lot, but there was always a musty smell lingering, and since there was nothing to make a bed, the kang under his body was also very hard.

Due to the geographical reasons, we will not burn the kang, in this late autumn night I slept with Brother Chengxin and clothes, covered with a damp thin quilt, the northwest wind outside the window blowing, the two big men were so strong that they had to curl up in the cold.

For all these reasons, I couldn't sleep at all, but Brother Chengxin didn't know why he fell asleep under such circumstances, and the slight snoring kept lingering in my ears.

The night was quiet, nothing out of the ordinary happened, and I kept my eyes open until Brother Chengxin sneezed in my ear, and then I remembered to rummage through a few pieces of clothing in our luggage and put them on my body to smoke a cigarette.

The thick quilt was given to Ruyue, but the old man's quilt always felt a little damp, and I don't know if Ruyue slept well? I stood at the window and smoked, always feeling a little worried about this and that, and I realized that it was actually warmer to stand than to lie down.

The wind outside the window is getting louder and louder, and I didn't feel anything abnormal when I got up to smoke at first, but when a cigarette burned halfway, I felt that the wind was a little unusual, and this kind of wind always made me have some bad associations, such as at that time in the night of the deserted village, the wind was also blowing like this, and the ghost cried wolf.

I squinted my eyes, my heart was still calm, watching the yellow sand flying in this town, gradually, I don't know where the fog came from, it turned out to be foggy.

It is normal for the night to fog in late autumn, but I am a Taoist priest, and I am a Taoist priest with a strong and sensitive spiritual sense, and I can see at a glance that where is the ordinary night fog, this gray fog is clearly the yin qi is gathering, and then spreading throughout the town.

The problem is a bit serious, I threw down the cigarette butt in my hand, and couldn't help but light another one, if this town is so gloomy at night, how do the people here survive? Because in this spreading yin qi, I clearly felt the ghost qi of Sensen, that is to say, there are ghosts in this yin qi.

Could it be that he is really a hundred ghosts walking in the night?

Brother Chengxin muttered and turned over, I looked up and saw that the fog was spreading very quickly, and the sky that was still over there soon spread towards our courtyard I suddenly felt that the weirdness of this town was not just as simple as gathering yin ghosts, there should be something else, if you want to know completely, let's pretend to be defenseless.

Thinking like this, I extinguished the cigarette in my hand, threw the cloth bag containing the magic weapon into the quilt, and the whole person shrank into the quilt, regardless of whether Brother Chengxin could hear it or not, and whispered in his ear: "Brother Chengxin, no matter what happens later, you will pretend to be stupid." ”

After that, I closed my eyes, although this affected my vision, it did not affect my spiritual sense, and closing my eyes allowed me to sense some things more clearly.

After doing all this, the fog finally spread to our yard, because I felt the whole yard suddenly cool down, and the sound of footsteps sounded in the small yard.
