strange neighbor

"You don't want to leave, what are you doing in a daze." After Ding Shijin finished speaking, he stepped out the door immediately, and Jiang Duo quickly followed.

The two walked along the path in the village to the hut at the entrance of the village. Even during the day, they left a person guarding them. It was a boy of sixteen or seventeen years old. It might be because of his diet and living habits. Ding Shijin was a little shorter, but stronger than him, and smiled shyly when he saw the two of them.

"Thank you for your hard work." Jiang Duo said.

The boy waved his hands again and again: "It's not hard work, it's an honor."

He feels that he has made contributions to the village, which is an honor to be recognized.

Jiang Duo took a look in the hut, then came out and asked if there was any other place to enter the village other than the entrance of the village, the boy shook his head without thinking, and definitely said no.

"What are you suspecting?" Ding Shijin asked as the two left the village entrance.

"Did you hear the sound of such a big monster running? Like an earthquake, did it really come in from the entrance of the village?"

Hearing this, Ding Shijin also began to think: Yes, if he came in from the entrance of the village, why didn't everyone hear him, and Zhuoma's house was not the first one guarding the entrance of the village. When he passed by just now, he took a look. People raise more cows and horses than Zhuoma's house, so why didn't it go to the nearby Zhuoma's house instead?Is it a coincidence or intentional?

"Is it provoking me?"

Ding Shijin was silent and didn't speak, thinking of something: "I seemed to hear singing that night, did you hear it?"

Jiang Duo nodded: "It left only after hearing the singing, there must be something manipulating it behind the scenes."

"It should be for you." Ding Shijin ruthlessly asserted.

"..."

Due to the calmness in the village a few days ago, the villagers gradually relaxed, and even the spirits of those guarding the entrance of the village were relaxed. As soon as the night fell, a few people secretly hid in the huts, playing poker and drinking, and the sound of lively laughter spread. far away.

After drinking for three rounds, it was very late, and almost all the lights in the village were turned off, and it was extremely cold outside.

"Wait a minute, I, I'm going to pee." A man stood up unsteadily, and as soon as he opened the door curtain, a gust of cold wind blew in with snow: "It's fucking snowing again, it's freezing to death Yo."

After speaking, he went out, found a place to carry people and started to release.

'Huh——' A gust of wind blew in through the collar from behind, and he shivered from the cold.

"It's so cold." He said, speeding up.

'Huh——' Another gust of wind blew into the neck, and he raised his pants: "What's the matter, this wind has eyes, and it blows people's necks specifically?"

As he spoke, he stretched out his hand to touch the back of his neck, but he felt a smooth and cold hand.

He didn't look back, thinking that it was a prank that the night watchman secretly followed him just now, thinking of him, he laughed silently, then continued to touch his hands upwards, and when they touched his shoulders, he unexpectedly fell over his shoulders, and he picked up the shoulders behind him. Arms, bent forward suddenly, but there was a sudden light behind him, and he, who had drunk a lot of wine, didn't stand still and fell to the shit. He looked up and saw that he was still holding those arms in his hands, and suddenly Frozen in place: This...why only two arms?

Suddenly there was a soft laughter from a woman behind him. He felt his hands and feet were cold and his whole body was stiff. He woke up from the wine he drank just now, and he saw a ghost.

Restraining his thoughts of turning back, he held his breath and forced himself to stand up, his legs felt limp: don't look back, don't look back, just walk back and you'll be fine.

He comforted himself, but just after taking two steps, he suddenly felt a chill in his stomach, and lowered his head in disbelief, just in time to see a white and slender hand protruding from his stomach, the fingertips were still dripping with blood.

Giggling laughter sounded from behind, and the tone was very cheerful.

Jiang Duo suddenly opened his eyes, turned over and sat up, staring straight out of the window with both eyes, Ding Shijin felt shallow, he woke up just as he moved: "What?"

Jiang Duo stretched out his index finger to his mouth and let out a 'hush', then quietly lifted a corner of the curtain and pulled Ding Shijin to look outside. A melodious singing came, and a woman appeared on the snow with snow-white hair, a snow-white skirt, and hands Holding an oil-paper umbrella in her hand, her figure was as light as if she was dancing. She seemed to have noticed that someone was peeking at her, she didn't stop, she just turned sideways and blew a kiss to their side.

Soon the figure disappeared, and Jiang Duo's knuckles holding the curtain turned white: "Did you see it?"

Ding Shijin nodded, the woman's raised hand was still dripping blood.

It really is provocative.

Jiang Duo quickly put on his clothes and walked out. Ding Shijin saw his cold expression and fell to the ground. He opened the door. There was indeed a small puddle of blood on the road in front of him, which had melted into the snow and turned red. of ice ballast.

He didn't say anything, he pursed his lips and walked towards the entrance of the village. There was no light at the door of the hut, and the two of them felt a little bit in their hearts. Normally, the lights at the entrance of the village cannot be extinguished at night. They didn't care too much, so they ran away Going to the hut, I wanted to see if it was what they thought, but the door was closed from the inside, and Jiang Duo couldn't open it after spending a long time.

After a while there was a rustling sound inside, Jiang Duo stopped: "There is a sound."

The sound was getting closer, Jiang Duo pulled Ding Shijin, pushed him behind him, and then made a defensive movement with his feet slightly wrong.

With a creak, the door opened, and a tall and strong man stood at the door: "Who is it?"

Full of energy, Jiang Duo felt relieved and let out a sigh of relief: "Are all the people on duty today?"

"Everything is here." The man was soundly asleep when he was woken up, his face full of displeasure.

"Then why don't you turn on the light? Is it broken?" Jiang Duo asked again.

"Why isn't the light on? It's not always on..." The man looked up while talking, only to realize that the light had been turned off at some point.

Then he walked into the hut, found the switch and dimmed it, and the light in the snow turned on immediately, and the man came out impatiently: "What else is there?"

"Are you sure everyone is there?" Jiang Duo asked again.

"It's all said, here you are, come in and see!" He said to move out of the way, motioning Jiang Duo to go in.

Jiang Duo smiled slightly and went in. Because it was a temporary small room, there was no time to set up a kang, so he made a simple bed with wooden boards. There were quilts for four people on the bed. Except for the person who opened the door for them, the rest The three of them were all on the bed, and the people inside had been woken up a long time ago, looking up at them with their sleepy eyes open.

"What's going on?" asked another person.

The man followed up: "This guy got nervous in the middle of the night and came to check the number of people."

After finishing speaking, he muttered in a low voice: "It's not too cold."

Jiang Duo pretended not to hear, and his eyes traveled among the people on the bed, always feeling that something was wrong.

"Is it alright? The number is right? We won't neglect our duties!"

Jiang Duo didn't explain, just smiled, then turned around and was about to tell Ding Shijin to leave.

"No!" Ding Shijin suddenly said.

"What's wrong?"

Ding Shijin didn't pay attention to that person, but walked forward quickly, and lifted the quilt of one of them. The rest of them looked over, and their scalps felt numb. There were three people lying on the bed, and two of them raised their heads when they came in. Looking at them, there was only this one person, no matter how loud their voices were just now, they never looked up.

Lying next to this man was a little boy named Toji. The situation in front of him was so horrible that he yelled and fell off the bed.

The man was facing Toji, but his body was lying face up, just like Zhuoma’s horse, the entire front belly and internal organs were gone, and the inside was stuffed with white snow, which didn’t even melt , the bright red blood soaked a large area of ​​the quilt, his eyes widened, and he met Toji's eyes.

"Hehe—" Everyone in the room heard the woman's chuckle at the same time, Jiang Duo turned around and chased after her, and then saw the woman disappear with a comatose person in her hand.

"It's Zhuoma." Ding Shijin's eyes were fixed on the direction where she disappeared.

There was a noisy sound getting closer, and Jiang Duo immediately recognized that it was Zhuoma's parents. Her father was still holding a hunting gun in his hand. The two ran out wearing only thin clothes, with anxious faces on their faces. , especially Dolma's mother, was so anxious that she was about to cry. When she saw Jiang Duo and Ding Shijin, she rushed up and held their hands, begging them to help Dolma.

Jiang Duo's expression was very serious, he stretched out his hand to support Dolma's mother and said a few words of comfort, then walked towards the direction where the woman disappeared, and Ding Shijin followed after thinking about it.

Hearing the sound of footsteps, Jiang Duo turned his head back, the murderous look in his eyes still persisted, he seemed to be surprised that Ding Shijin would follow, and then said word by word: "You go back, I will go by myself."

"Together."

"It's too dangerous, you go back." Jiang Duo insisted.

"I'm going to watch the excitement."

"..." Jiang Duo couldn't help laughing after hearing Ding Shijin's words, and his anger subsided a lot: "Okay, but don't move forward."

Ding Shijin let out a hum and a hum through his nose, and the two walked one after the other.

The snow continued to fall, but luckily it wasn't heavy, so they lowered their heads to carefully identify the shallow footprints on the ground and the traces of heavy objects being dragged.

Following this trace, the two went straight up the mountain, but after entering the mountain, the wind and snow started to increase without warning, and the temperature dropped all of a sudden.

Ding Shijin pursed his lips and followed behind Jiang Duo silently. The wind was blowing so hard that he couldn't open his eyes. He could only barely look at a figure in front of him. Then the figure stopped and stretched out his hand to him: "Give me your hand, don't go away!" scattered."

Ding Shijin looked at that hand and thought for a while before handing out his own.

Jiang Duo smiled and said, "Why are you like a big girl, what can you do if you hold hands."

"To shut up."

Opening his mouth to speak, he immediately filled his stomach with wind, and Jiang Duo simply shut his mouth obediently.

There was a vast expanse of whiteness before his eyes, and suddenly the sound of the wind mixed with the sound of singing floated into his ears again. Jiang Duo continued to walk forward for a while, and finally stopped, looking around vigilantly, and pushed Ding Shijin towards one direction: "There is a piece of wood there!" Stone, go and hide."

The singing sound surrounded the two of them all the time. Jiang Duo lifted his robe, took out something from the bag on the leg ring, and then it became bigger and became a sword visible to the naked eye. Ding Shijin took steps to the stone without hesitation. sat down.

The sound of wind, singing, and laughter surrounded them. Ding Shijin thought of the stereo surround sound inappropriately. He sat there idly with his back against the stone, blinked his eyes, and suddenly realized that Jiang Duo was gone.
