"Have you seen them?" This time it was Liu Daneng's turn to look surprised.

"Yeah!" Li Le nodded: "When we came up, the child was playing in the mud in front of the house. I gave him a piece of bread, but it almost didn't cause a chaos."

"Well, speaking of it, this old lady is quite pitiful." Liu Daneng got down from the wooden frame and dusted himself off: "At such a young age and with such a burden, I don't even dare to die."

"I originally thought that only people in big cities would be overwhelmed by the pressure of life. Unexpectedly, when I came here, I discovered that there are thousands of kinds of suffering in the world, but none of them are easy. Yes, mom sells mahua."

Li Le sighed, he didn't expect that the old woman's eldest son's house would be this one.

"I even suspect that this old lady was anxious to sell the house to me just to leave some money for Mr. Tang. But with Mr. Tang's appearance, how can he keep the money?"

"Every man is not guilty of carrying a jade. As the saying goes, rural roads are slippery and people's hearts are more complicated."

Li Le nodded.

"Then do you know where the old lady's eldest son and daughter-in-law go to work?" Li Le deliberately brought the topic to this aspect.

Liu Daneng shook his head: "The old lady said she left without saying goodbye, leaving only a letter and never contacted her family. It can be said that there is no news."

"It can also be said that the world disappeared." Li Le added.

bang...

A plate fell to the ground and shattered into pieces.

Li Le and Liu Daneng followed the sound and saw Zhou Qing standing at the door of the kitchen with a pale face.

"What's wrong? Qing'er!" Liu Daneng stepped forward quickly and asked, "Did you cut anywhere?"

Li Le was also a little curious. Zhou Qing didn't look like he accidentally broke the plate.

Zhou Qing's expression was blank and he didn't speak, letting Liu Daneng look back and forth at his hands.

"Did it scare you?" Liu Daneng asked cautiously.

Li Le could feel Zhou Qing's nervousness, and her body was trembling slightly.

"It's okay! I wasn't paying attention..."

After a long time, Zhou Qing finally spoke.

"It's okay. You sit down first, take your time, and I'll sweep things up." Liu Daneng helped Zhou Qing sit down at the table, then brought a broom and dustpan to carefully clean up the porcelain bowl fragments.

"Brother Li Le, go to bed early today. Your sister-in-law and I are exhausted these days. This decoration work is really difficult." Liu Daneng put the broom and dustpan aside and helped Zhou Qing to go Walking upstairs: "I would also like to ask you to help me turn off the lights and lock the door."

"Tomorrow morning, we will prepare to clean the rooftop, and we may need your help then."

Liu Daneng's voice disappeared at the end of the stairs.

Li Le narrowed his eyes slightly, looked around, and suddenly felt a numb scalp.

This feeling is very strange, just like when you are walking in the wilderness and there is no one around you, but you always feel like there are a pair of eyes looking at you from all directions, as if something will suddenly jump out from some corner the next moment. Same.

At this time, only Li Le was left in the hall on the first floor. There was no sound when Liu Daneng and his wife arrived upstairs. Outside the door and in the yard, there was silence, no sound at all.

What you fear most is the sudden silence of the air, because maybe something behind you is holding its breath and watching you quietly.

Li Le sneered, but did not use the temporary beast transformation skill. Instead, he walked straight outside the house, crossed the yard, and came to the gate.

He turned on the flashlight of his mobile phone and approached the old locust tree at the door, because the source of the numbing feeling of being watched just now was from here.

rustle……

When Li Le walked towards the locust tree, the old locust tree moved without any wind. The branches and leaves at the top of the tree trembled and made a slight sound.

Li Le quickened his pace and walked quickly under the locust tree. He raised his head and the light illuminated the densely branched locust tree from bottom to top.

At first glance, there was nothing inside.

Li Le shined the light in his hand upwards.

Each branch in the locust tree reflects distorted shadows by the light.

These shadows were like tangled poisonous snakes, as if they were crawling among the branches and leaves, and as if they were about to fall from the sky and land on Li Le's head at the next moment.

Li Le was unmoved, his eyes swept through the dense forest, and finally settled on the top of the tree.

He kicked the locust tree hard.

clap la la...

The locust tree shook, and many locust tree flowers and leaves fell, including a plastic packaging bag.

The plastic bag fell lightly from the locust tree and just fell into Li Le's hand.

There was a cold feeling in the palm of my hand, even a little stinging. The plastic bag seemed to have just been taken out of the freezer, covered with a layer of white frost.

Li Le looked at the bag in his hand and his eyes narrowed. This was the bread bag he had left in front of his grandmother's house.

Li Le was sure that he would remember correctly.

rustle……

There was another sound of branches and leaves rubbing together from the top of the locust tree, and then suddenly, a figure soared into the sky from the dense forest of locust trees and flew towards the back mountain.

As the figure flew away, the sense of oppression that had been hanging over Li Le's heart suddenly relaxed, and the numbness in his scalp also disappeared.

"Brother Li Le, what's wrong?" Liu Daneng appeared on the balcony on the second floor and shouted.

"It's nothing. There was a bird slithering around here. I scared me and scared it away." Li Le said with a smile.

After saying that, he stuffed the bread bag into his pocket and closed the door.

"Oh, okay, the bathroom is on the right side of the yard. There are toiletries in your house."

"Remember to turn off the lights after taking a shower and go to bed early. I will need to trouble you brother tomorrow."

Liu Daneng said, collecting the clothes hanging on the balcony on the second floor.

……

When Li Le finished taking a shower, closed the light and door, and went upstairs to pass Liu Daneng and Zhou Qing's room, he could vaguely hear the two talking in the room, but Li Le couldn't hear the specific content clearly.

Lying on the bed, the bedroom was dark and silent.

There is no wind tonight, and the summer insects have become silent.

Li Le felt like he was the only one left on the mountain.

He closed his eyes and rested, thinking about the clues given by the game and what he learned after coming here.

squeak...

I don't know how long it took, but Li Le felt sleepy.

In a daze, he heard the wood door in the yard being gently pushed open, the door pivoting and making a squeaking sound.

Footsteps sounded in the yard. They passed through the yard, passed through the hall on the first floor, along the stairs, slowly climbed to the second floor, and stopped in front of Li Le's bedroom.

A cold wind blew in his face, and Li Le knew that the bedroom door had been pushed open.

Li Le wanted to get up, but suddenly found that he couldn't move, even open his eyelids.

da da... da da...

Footsteps approached slowly, from the bedroom door to his bedside.

But the owner of the footsteps did not directly attack Li Le and began to circle around the bed where Li Le was lying.

Circle after circle.

The footsteps beside Li Le's bed became more and more dense, and the sound of suonas, gongs, and the mournful cries of a dutiful son could be heard faintly. This posture was very similar to the way the dead in rural areas circled the coffin the night before they went up the mountain.

At this time, Li Le was the one lying in the coffin.

"Temporary animal transformation!" Li Le shouted in his heart.

A surge of momentum burst out from him, shattering all restrictions.

Li Le regained his freedom in an instant and regained control of his body.

When I opened my eyes, the surroundings were still dark, the door was closed, there were no people circling in the room, and there was no sound of suonas or gongs.
