Lin Nuozhi didn't sleep well this time. When the original owner's own biological clock woke him up, he didn't feel refreshed at all, instead he felt drowsy and chest tight.He shook his head, last night he had been dreaming, there were too many messy pictures, and he didn't remember any of them when he woke up.

At this time, the sky was already bright, and faint rays of light came in through the gaps in the door panels and the screen windows.Lin Nuozhi glanced at it, and saw that the upside-down hot water bottle was still standing in place, and the oil thread on the kerosene lamp that was not extinguished last night had been burnt out and extinguished by itself.

As soon as he crawled out of the sleeping bag, his whole body was protesting against him, and the pain in his body seemed to be worse than before.

Lin Nuozhi packed his backpack before going out.The doors on the left and right sides were closed well, and he didn't know if the painter and the couple got up, after all, they were not familiar with each other, so he didn't call for anyone.The waterproof watch on his left wrist showed that it was 6:10, and the weather was still gray. He stood in the yard and looked. These houses looked neat and beautiful, and it was hard to imagine such a scene inside.

It seems that Tan Li is really in charge of this shrine alone, otherwise the sanitary conditions would not be so worrying.

Seeing large stretches of spider webs under several eaves, Lin Nuozhi thought so.

Just walked around to the front yard, and there was no one there. The rows of candles in the hall last night had been extinguished at this moment. Lin Nuozhi took a closer look, only to notice that the one on the altar was not a statue of Buddha or a god...

It was a very weird stone statue.A monster with blue-faced fangs holds a stone puppet in its mouth, and it can’t be dropped. The stone puppet looks like a boy, naked, with dull eyes and an upturned face. His body is covered with stripes of different colors painted horizontally. shape.The entire stone statue is only about 30 centimeters high, and the monster is half squatting and half lying on the altar, looking fiercely ahead.

Lin Nuozhi always felt that those eyes seemed to see his heart all at once, which made him very uncomfortable.

"Miss Li got up really early." A faint voice came from behind, goosebumps all over Lin Nuozhi scrambling to pop out, and when he turned around, he saw Tan Li standing behind him with lowered eyebrows and hands clasped. meter distance.

Her body took a step back instinctively, a smile appeared on the corner of Tan Li's mouth, and her eyes moved from the ground to his face: "This is the place where the shrine worships, if Miss Li has no special important matters, please don't stand here... …would offend the mountain god.”

I always feel that the last few words from the other party's mouth mean something special, Lin Nuozhi stepped aside, Tan Li walked to the altar, clasped her hands up to her chest, her head drooped slightly, her eyes were closed, and her lips moved slightly After more than ten seconds, he spoke to Lin Nuozhi calmly again.

"Grandma Meng's house will bring you breakfast later, you must be hungry too."

The corner of Lin Nuozhi's mouth twitched: "It's okay." He still had compressed biscuits in his bag, even though they were smashed into pieces, it didn't hinder the fullness of his stomach, and there was also a small thermos cup, which was of good quality, but he just rinsed it a little Rinse your mouth, there is no water now, Lin Nuozhi wants to get some water before leaving.

"Water...the only well nearby is Granny Meng's house, and if it's farther away, you can only go to the foot of Lingshan to get spring water," Tan Li said, "Linzi will send some water later, if it's not enough, you can go to his house to install it. "

Lin Nuozhi nodded silently. In such a backward village, there is no hope of electricity and running water.

"Miss Tan, may I ask who you enshrine...?" Lin Nuozhi couldn't help asking seeing that Tan Li was always thinking about worshiping the stone statue.

Tan Li finished a set of actions piously before answering: "This is the mountain god...we worship the...god of the mountain village." Her voice was a little vague, as if swallowing a few words, Lin Nuozhi asked again, Tan Li didn't speak.

Lin Nuozhi had no choice but to walk around by himself.The sky was getting brighter, and it was no longer that foggy feeling. As soon as he left the hospital, Lin Nuozhi saw a person, Li Jing.He is sitting in front of the left front of the gate at the moment, with an easel set up in front of him, he glances at the banyan tree in the middle from time to time, and draws a stroke on the painting from time to time.He has a serious expression at the moment, with high brows, it doesn't look like he is painting, but he looks like he is facing a big enemy.

The surrounding purple lanterns only have a purple outer skin, and even the banyan tree in the middle is not so scary to look at, I just think it is quite vulgar, a good banyan tree is wrapped in a purple silk cloth, maybe it is for art In the eyes of people, this is also called alternative beauty.

Lin Nuozhi looked at the densely packed wooden signs, and walked over to find out.

"What are you doing?!" Li Jing's angry voice rang out as soon as he walked in, "Didn't you see that I was painting?! Get lost!"

Lin Nuozhi glanced at him in surprise, and saw that Li Jing, who was already serious, became even more ferocious at the moment, as if he was going to rush over to fight if he didn't leave.Lin Nuozhi was unhappy, so he left here anyway. Before he left, he glanced at the other party's canvas, and only saw large patches of thick or light purple...

Compared with the village at night, the village during the day is still very quiet, but the vision brought by the eyes should make him feel at ease.The houses here are all bungalows, and there is a small yard at the door, but Lin Nuozhi can see the chicken pens and pig pens, but not the live animals, and most of the arranged vegetable fields are weeds, and the vegetables only occupy one space , are still listless.

The doors are tightly closed, as are the windows, which are basically screens and no glass windows.The walls were also painted with white powder, but they were all dirty, not only due to time, but also all kinds of graffiti, which were covered up by mud and water, making them indistinct and only appearing more dirty.

At this time, a burst of screams went straight into the sky, and Lin Nuozhi immediately recognized Jingyue's voice from the shrine. He was startled, did something happen?

When Lin Nuozhi ran all the way back, he saw Li Jing at the door packing up his things. He didn't know until he entered the shrine that Jing Yue was losing his mind again.

At this moment, the arrogant and beautiful woman was furious, and scolded at no one knows who she was: "God damn brat, you scared me once last night, and this time you came out to pretend to be a ghost again! Did you get caught by me? Why didn't you run away? Why don't you run away? Tell me, do you want to steal something? It's best to scare me to death and you will get what you want, right? Some mother gave birth to a poor child that no one raised!"

Lin Nuozhi watched for a while, only to realize that Jing Yue was facing Tan Li, but she was scolding the skinny child hiding behind Tan Li.

Lin Nuozhi was facing them sideways, so he could tell at a glance that this child was the one who surprised them last night.I saw him with his head down, short in stature, he looked like he was only eleven or twelve years old or younger, his messy and dry hair hung down on his forehead, his face could not be seen clearly, the clothes and pants he wore were obviously too big, Covering his hands and feet, even being scolded so badly by Jing Yue, he didn't say a word.

Shui Huakong stood aside in embarrassment, but did not stop Jing Yue.

Tan Li's face was full of anger, and a blush appeared on her exquisite and elegant face: "Miss Jing, I have already said that Lin Zi came to deliver breakfast, you said he scared you, now it is obvious that you also scared him Also, I don’t think you are qualified to criticize others for being uneducated based on your quality!”

"Where are the mad dogs barking!" Li Jing entered the door with a gloomy face, obviously not in a good mood, "The early morning inspiration was all barked away by the dogs!"

So Li Jing successfully attracted all of Jing Yue's firepower, and the farce was not terminated until Shui Huakong stopped Jing Yue.

Breakfast is served in the side hall of the hall. Tan Li asked the children to stay and eat together, but the children shook their heads and ran away.Jingyue still hummed beside her.Seriously, Lin Nuozhi doesn't even know where the other party's face is, so he takes himself too much as the master, right?She scolded someone for the food prepared by others before, but now she still sits down and prepares to eat, just eat, and she looks disgusted, as if taking a bite is a gift to others.

Although Shui Huakong didn't make it too obvious, he was obviously dissatisfied with the food.Lin Nuozhi's sense of the two fell to the bottom for a moment.

The two left after breakfast, Shui Huakong said thank you anyway, Jing Yue left without looking back, and said while walking: "Husband, this dilapidated place is poor, bad, and there are bad people, let's go quickly !"

Loudly, as if others might not hear you.

Tan Li looked calm and said nothing.Li Jing didn't know what he was thinking. After eating, he picked up his easel and went out.

Lin Nuo Zhicao ate a little, and the taste was okay, then sat on the side and waited for Tan Li to finish using it up, and helped clean it up.

A smile appeared on Tan Li's face: "I'll just do it myself."

"It's okay, I haven't thanked you for your hospitality yet." Lin Nuozhi took the opportunity to chat with her for a while, and found out the child's background.The child's name was Meng Lin, who was the grandson of Granny Meng that Tan Li said. Because their family was in charge of the shrine's food, they were not invited to the meeting.

"Lin Zi is a poor man." Tan Li sighed lightly, but said nothing more.

When Lin Nuozhi was about to leave, Tan Li said again: "Are you leaving our village?"

It was obvious that Lin Nuo looked at her without knowing why.

He only saw her smooth black hair and slender back: "Let's go like this... The mountain god will be angry, so let's stay for a few more days..."

Lin Nuozhi recalled the fear of her last night, and felt strange: "What did you say?"

But Tan Li just repeated asking him to stay for a few more days, and when Lin Nuozhi went out frowning, she heard her sigh again.

It is worthy of being a priestess priest, who is nagging.

Although the traction in his heart made him very curious about it, Lin Nuozhi didn't like to stay in such a weird place, so he decided to leave with Shui Huakong first, at least even if he came to take risks for the mission. Know where to retreat.

Although he didn't like the couple, Lin Nuozhi didn't show it. Tan Li didn't know if it was because he didn't follow his advice and didn't fill him with a water cup. Lin Nuozhi put the empty water cup in his backpack and carried it, followed After the husband and wife left the shrine, he seemed to feel a pair of eyes staring at him from behind. When he looked back, the eyes of the monster with blue face and fangs seemed to be shining brightly, and Tan Li was kneeling and praying.

He suppressed the ominous premonition in his heart, and silently closed the door.

Li Jing was still painting banyan trees there, without even looking at them.

After eating and drinking well, Jing Yue became more energetic. She scolded all the way from the village to the outside of the village. Shui Huakong couldn't take it anymore and started talking to Lin Nuozhi. Lin Nuozhi replied a few words, and Jing Yue said angrily again: "When Just look at me and want to have an affair!"

Lin Nuozhi lay on the gun innocently, he silently kept a distance of three meters away from the two of them.

The cars of Shui Huakong and Jingyue were parked on the road on the other side of the mountain, and they came here from the road.Lin Nuozhi saw from a distance that the slope was neither long nor steep, and the forest was dense, but it was much easier than when he went down the mountain, and he could vaguely see a horizontal concrete road.

They just went up the mountain, Jing Yue said something next to Shui Huakong, and then yelled at Lin Nuozhi: "Hey, do you want to go to WC?" It seems that this person is in a hurry to find a companion, Lin Nuozhi Although it is a female body now, he has a purely masculine psychology in his heart, and he has no voyeurism, so he naturally refused.

Jing Yue curled her lips, found a direction and ran over by herself.The mountain has dense vegetation and many trees, and she disappeared behind a big tree in a blink of an eye.

Lin Nuozhi looked around, and always felt that it was very quiet. There were very few sounds of birds, beasts and insects, and the most was the rustling of leaves blown by the wind.

"This place is really remote, and there is no signal when we get here." Shui Huakong probably felt too quiet, so he took out his mobile phone and said to Lin Nuozhi, "The road is just above, and I can call my friend." Phone, there is not even a signal here, and the government really...doesn’t support such a backward village.”

Lin Nuozhi smiled in agreement.

"I don't know if my friend has arrived. I can't answer the call, so don't think something happened to us." Shui Huakong fiddled with his mobile phone, and was about to continue talking, when Jing Yue's piercing scream rang out, Lin Nuo As soon as his scalp went numb, he wanted to go over, followed by another scream, accompanied by the cry of "Husband! Husband".

Instead, Lin Nuozhi slowed down, watching Shui Huakong run over, and then he heard his distraught voice: "If I'm with you, my long life will be tortured into a short life by you. It's just a spider. You can't trample it to death." ah?"

Lin Nuozhi held his forehead, and after a while, Shui Huakong came back, with an angry face, arranging his clothes while walking.

"Is Miss Jing okay?" Lin Nuozhi asked symbolically.

Shui Huakong shook his head: "There's nothing wrong with it, it's just that a spider hangs down from the tree, every time it's startled, it's really lost to her."

"Ah--!" The short scream came again, accompanied by the sound of grass and trees rustling.

"What's the matter?!" Shui Huakong stood on the spot and shouted impatiently, "Hurry up, come out when you're done!"

What responded to him was Jingyue's humming voice.

"Won't Mr. Shui take a look?" Lin Nuozhi asked.

"No need, no one pays attention to her, she will come out later." Shui Huakong frowned and said, looking at the big tree with his arms folded.Sure enough, after a while, Jing Yue became quiet, and Shui Huakong sneered, "Look, how old is he, and he's still the same as when he was a child, suffering from the problem of dying if he doesn't pay attention!"

Lin Nuozhi waited by him for another 5 minutes, Jingyue still didn't move at all, Shui Huakong also asked a few words, but she didn't say a word.

"I guess I'm losing my temper again. I'll go take a look." Shui Huakong walked over slowly with a sullen face. Lin Nuo's eyes swept around. Looking up from here, he couldn't see the road. He was obviously at the bottom of the mountain. , this slope does not look long.

"Ah!!" What's wrong with this couple?When a woman finishes calling a man?But before he could look, Shui Huakong had already stumbled towards him, the branches scratched his clothes, and he didn't care about it at all. He shouted as he ran, "Help! Killed, killed—!"

His hands were covered in blood, his expression was terrified, and he had no grace at all, Lin Nuo's heart shuddered.

Then he knew why the other party panicked.

Jing Yue died, under a big tree only ten meters away from them.
