This is everyone's first impression of Xialin Village in Shanwali.
At the time when the sun is rising, if it were an ordinary village, there would have been farmers working in the fields, but the doors of every household in Xialin Village were still closed. If it wasn't for the occasional smoke rising from the kitchen, Su Che and his party would definitely You'd think it was an abandoned ghost village.
"Mr. Su, your backpack is full of ghosts, let me out, help!" Yuan He hissed in his backpack.
No one paid attention to him, and the weird atmosphere emanating from Xialin Village in front of him made everyone calm down and show vigilance.
The surrounding area was terribly quiet, and the wind blowing from the mountains in the early morning carried the miasma from the mountains and forests deposited at night, making the smell a bit uncomfortable.
Xialin Village is close at hand, Su Che first stepped into Xialin Village, the moment he entered Xialin Village, the wooden door of an old earth-wood structure house shook, only heard a "squeak", shaking The wooden door suddenly opened.
The villagers of Xialin Village have opened the door!
Su Che stopped, and stared at the slowly opened wooden door together with everyone from the Ghost Story Association.
There was no light inside the wooden door, and it was very dark. Not long after, a short man in patched rags stepped out half of his body from the wooden door, raised his head and looked at Su Che and his group who entered Xialin Village.
After a few careful glances, everyone finally saw each other clearly.
This is an elderly lady with mixed black and white hair, a healthy look, and a ruddy complexion, but the whole face looks extremely old, covered with dense wrinkles, and there are bags under the eyes that have not slept well for a long time.
The old man seemed uneasy about the sudden intrusion of Su Che and other outsiders, but when she saw the two chickens and a big black dog beside Su Che and his group, she suddenly said, "Come in... ...."
The old man's voice showed a clearness that seriously didn't match his old appearance, and he didn't have the lifelessness that should have been in his twilight years.
"Enter the house?" Su Che glanced at the old man's gaze, and found that what the old man was looking at was the bald chicken, the little hen in the chicken coop, and the big black dog that was yawning all over the place. He pointed at the old man from afar nod.
"This old man has a problem, pay attention when I come into her house with me."
Su Che explained in a low voice to everyone in the Ghost Story Association.
The others nodded imperceptibly, followed Su Che into Xialin Village, and walked to the old man's wooden house.
The old man from Xialin Village who opened the door suddenly tore open the wooden door. He stood inside the door without taking a step outside. He even only took one look at Su Che and the others before putting all his attention on the two chickens and one dog.
This kind of behavior undoubtedly confirmed Su Che's previous remarks that the old man had problems, and everyone in the Ghost Story Association secretly began to prepare for it at any time.
"Old man, it's getting late. Haven't everyone in the village woke up yet?"
Su Che asked suddenly.
"Hmm..." The old man responded subconsciously, as if he had realized something, and added, "People in the mountains are like this, the humidity and miasma are heavy in the mountains in the morning, people are prone to get sick after staying for a long time. "
While answering, the old man waited for everyone to enter the house and hurriedly closed the door.
It was as if something terrifying was about to appear outside the house.
"That's right..." Su Che said thoughtfully.
"Young people, where are you from? People from outside the mountains are not common here in Xialin Village." The old man watched Su Che ask a question, and she seemed to see that the leader of this group of outsiders was Su Che.
As the old man said, he took out the match and slid it tremblingly, and lit the kerosene lamp suspended from the beam by wire. Suddenly, a pungent kerosene smell spread out. Only then did Su Che notice that the old man's house was very dark. It was scary, almost all the riveting positions of the wooden boards were covered with yellow mud, and even the wooden boards were nailed to the windows, which were also covered with yellow mud, preventing any light from entering the room.
"Xialin Village is near the highway, how could it be without electricity?" Su Che made a new discovery, and at the same time answered the old man's question aloud, "It's a long story, so let me make it short, we are all ghost stories in the middle of the night in Jiangcheng A member of the Fan Association, planning to drive to Shuangqing for group building! When passing through the Shanglinshan Tunnel, I don’t know which large truck was unethical and smoked and fell to the ground. The driver didn’t pay attention and ran over it. , and then the car blew out, we were stuck on the expressway, we couldn’t wait for rescue, and the time was tight, so we had to get off the expressway and find a nearby village for help!”
"Old man, is there a car that can carry people in the village? Just take us to the bus station in the city, and we will pay for the trip!"
This time the old man didn't answer.
She took down the kerosene lamp hanging on the wire, took a few steps to open the door curtain, and whispered to Su Che and the others all the way forward, "Since you're here, take a rest and follow me. Don't go out if there is nothing important. Also...speak softly."
When speaking in a quieter voice, she stared at Su Che. It seemed that this sentence was specially addressed to Su Che.
"The sun is shining in broad daylight and people are not allowed to go out. Do the villagers in Xialin Village dare to go out for activities at night?" Su Che was amazed at the various abnormal behaviors shown by the old man.
He just said that when his group passed through the Shanglinshan Tunnel, he obviously saw the old man's unnatural expression. It seems that the old man should be very aware of the haunting of the Shanglinshan Tunnel, but Su Che is not yet aware of the abnormal behavior of Xialin Village. Does it have anything to do with the ghost in Shanglinshan Tunnel?
The space behind the curtain is not small, it has two rooms and one living room. All the gaps are also covered with yellow mud, so that no light can come in. After lighting the kerosene lamp in the house, the old man glanced at Su Che again, "In the house You can do whatever you want, but remember, when people in the village come out for activities after a while, no matter what noise you hear, don’t speak or make any noise, and never open the door when someone knocks! When it’s dark, I’ll ask someone to send you out.”
"And..." She shifted her gaze to the two chickens and the big black dog, "These two chickens and the dog, leave them to me, you can't take them away."
The old man blurted out a series of words.
Su Che looked at the old man with a smile, "Old man, you have to give me a reason for wanting my dog and chicken, right?"
Holding the kerosene lamp, the old man walked out of the room, and when he heard Su Che's words, he turned around suddenly, and a strange smile appeared on his old face covered with dense wrinkles, "You will know when the time comes."
After saying this to Su Che, the old man put down the door curtain and walked away without looking back.
"This village is really strange. Outsiders are not allowed to go out after dawn, and they can only call for people to send us away when it is almost dark." Looking at the curtain covered by the old man, Su Che smiled kindly, "Wait a minute The people in the village come out for activities, everyone knows what to do, right?"
"President, what are we going to do?" Everyone in the Ghost Story Association asked in unison.
Su Che replied, "Of course I want to mingle with the villagers of Xialin Village!"
Everyone in the Ghost Story Association felt flustered, and complained silently, "There are at least dozens of families in the village, and they don't know whether these villagers are people or ghosts, so how dare they get along with the villagers? I think the president is afraid that he wants to set fire again. Burn the mountain!"
"Sit in prison!"
Opening the backpack, he took out Yuan He, who had turned pale and bloodless, and was still murmuring help unconsciously. Su Che took out the bright flashlight and turned it on, and the room was suddenly bright as day.
"Other people are going to catch you to make dog meat hot pot, are you still yawning?" He yawned and kicked the big black dog, who didn't know that the big black dog had no tendency to wake up, but instead used Su Che lay flat on his feet and began to sleep.
At this moment, H, whose presence has become extremely weak since being replaced by Su Che as the chairman of the Guild Story Association, appeared and suddenly rushed into the room at a fast pace, holding out two small photo frames.
"Look, everyone!" Mr. H put two photo frames in front of the eyes of others.
He followed the sound, and the things in the photo frame made him frown slightly.
These are two old yellowed black and white photos, and the people in the photos...
One was the old man who opened the door for them just now.
"Could the old man who opened the door be a ghost?" Everyone in the Ghost Story Association felt palpitated.
Chapter 510 Six We dove it without saying goodbye, isn't it a bit unreasonable?
Everyone was staring at the somewhat creepy black and white photo in the frame. The old man in the photo was indeed exactly the same as the old man who opened the door for them just now, even the shape of the dense wrinkles on his face was almost the same.
There was complete silence in front of and behind the house, except for the faintly discernible heartbeats of the members of the Guidan Association and Su Che, not even the two chickens in the chicken coop dared to make the slightest movement.
Su Che stroked his chin. In his opinion, there was no doubt that the old man who opened the door was a living person, otherwise he wouldn't have talked with the old man many times to make sidelines about Xia Lincun's situation.
Instead, a pig-killing knife had already been slashed towards the opponent's forehead.
"It's too quiet, there are no poultry, no dogs, or even people that are common in rural areas, and at the beginning the old man was very uneasy about the arrival of us outsiders, until she saw the big black dog and two chickens, her attitude immediately turned upside down He not only brought us back to his own home, but also offered to send us out of the village when it was getting dark." Seeing the big black dog sleeping soundly and the two chickens pretending to be dead, Su Che was a little bit Can't figure it out.
After discovering two black-and-white photos hidden in the room, the atmosphere in the room became weird.
Gradually, everyone in the Guitan Association turned around the room to find new clues, but apart from some obviously old daily necessities, they found no other evil things.
The sound of walking footsteps came from nowhere.
This voice was not made by Su Che and the members of the Guai Tan Association, but appeared outside the house.
"There are footsteps, there are people outside the house!" Su Che squinted his eyes and moved his gaze in a low voice to the wall covered with yellow mud blocking the light gap of the wooden house. , so it is unlikely to be the old man who opened the door just now.
It almost didn't take too much thinking to know that the people from Xialin Village that the old man said earlier started to come out to move around.
Tap... Tap...
Heavy footsteps echoed from outside the house.
At first, the footsteps sounded at a distance, and when they reached the ears of Su Che and his group, the sound was not too loud, but as time passed, the heavy footsteps sounded from far to near, getting louder and faster, louder and louder .
From this sound, it can be easily deduced that the person who caused the heavy footsteps or some other thing is approaching the house where Su Che and his party are located step by step.
What's even more evil is that the interval between the sound of the heavy footsteps falling and the sound resonating is exactly the same, which means that the pace of the thing outside the house has not changed at all from the beginning to the end.
"President, people outside are walking towards this house, and...the old man who opened the door for us just now...she is gone!"
Xiao Tiantian opened the door curtain, and the kerosene lamp that was supposed to be lit had been extinguished at some point, and it was dark outside the door curtain. The strong flashlight in Su Che's hand shone through, and the whole room was illuminated brightly. The old man was no longer outside the door curtain in the room.
Sudden.
The heavy footsteps outside the house stopped.
Su Che in the house and everyone in the Ghost Story Association also held their breath. The morning sun outside the house was bright, but the house was dark and gloomy. The most important thing was that the old man who opened the door and led them into the house also disappeared.At this moment, Su Che didn't care too much about whether the thing making heavy footsteps outside the house was a human or a ghost. He only cared about the old man who was inside the house a few minutes ago... where did he go.
Tap... Tap...
The dull footsteps sounded twice again, almost appearing close to the corner outside the house.
The things outside the house stopped again, as if they found Su Che and his party hiding inside the house.
At this time, there was a knock on the door suddenly.
boom!boom!
The sudden two knocks on the door made the faces of the members of the Guild of Ghost Story in the house change slightly, and the old man's previous advice not to open the door when someone knocked instinctively came to mind, but Su Che moved at this moment.
Everyone watched as Su Che walked out of the curtain opened by Xiao Tiantian holding the bright flashlight, and then stopped behind the wooden door opened by the old man earlier, as if eager to push the door open.
creak.
The wooden door opened.
But it was not Su Che who pushed open the wooden door in front of him, but a small door from the corner of the room illuminated by the strong flashlight was opened. Even a flashlight cannot illuminate it.
"Cough cough cough..."
A burst of rapid coughing came from the small dark door, and the sound seemed somewhat similar to that of the old man before.
Su Che felt someone staring at him in the small dark door, and after a while, just as he felt, the old man's wrinkled face appeared from the small dark door.
"Don't look for your own death, young man. I will find someone to take you out of the village when it is getting dark. I will not lie to you, old woman." The old man's appearance was even weirder than when he led Su Che and his party into the house at the beginning. The flashlight can't illuminate the dark space in the small door. In the eyes of Su Che and everyone in the Guitan Association, it seems that the old man now only has an extremely old face, and the rest is impenetrable darkness. .
Compared with the heavy footsteps stopped outside the house, the old man at this moment is undoubtedly more like a ghost.
boom!boom!
There were two more knocks on the door, louder than the one just now, and a lot of the yellow mud used to paste the gaps in the wooden door was shaken off.
"Is the thing knocking on the door a human or a ghost?" Su Che asked bluntly.
The old man did not expect that the young man who was about to open the door would ask this question. Her gaze was a little erratic, and she was gliding across the curtain opened by Xiao Tiantian. The crowded scene in the room made her pupils shrink .
She saw Yuan He with only one head left.
"I have been married to Xialin Village for more than ten years, and my surname is Tang." The old man seemed to be frightened by Yuan He, and quickly looked away from Yuan He, his pupils were a little out of focus.
and many more.
Married to Xialin Village for more than ten years?
From Su Che's point of view, this old lady who claims to be surnamed Tang is already in her twilight years, and people believe that she is now 90 or [-] years old... Then she married Xialin Village more than ten years ago, wouldn't it be her Already in their sixties?
