In the summer vacation of the freshman year, the seniors in the department invited Xie Zhiliu to participate in this summer extracurricular practice activity, and went to a mountain village surrounded by mountains to investigate.

I heard that this place was prosperous and prosperous in ancient times, but suddenly declined in modern times, with great ups and downs, and the destruction and protection of cultural relics are too late to respond, so the relics of the old times are scattered all over the mountains and plains. Bead.Such a place is very suitable for archeology students like them to go.

The senior had been to this mountain village last year, and he will go again this year, which shows that the charm of this place cannot be explained in a few words.

Xie Zhiliao asked who was in the same company. After listening to it, I didn’t want to participate, but I heard the senior said that there are subsidies for participation, and credits can be added. After thinking about it for a few minutes, I decided to go. , if you don't go, what can you do?

When she was filling out her volunteer application in her third year of high school, she didn't know what she thought. She filled out an archeology major that she didn't know much about at all, and she was admitted in the end.But when she went to university later, she realized that she was really not suitable for this major.

Most of the students in this major are boys. They are strong and strong. They can lift rocks and bricks without any problems. They can jump around for a whole day without eating at the excavation site, and her physique is better than that of ordinary girls. It's even worse, and if you join it again, you will cry to death, let alone digging a tomb, you can lie in the tomb directly.

And the work that a meticulous girl can do, she can't do it.

She is always in a daze and distracted. When sorting out the materials, she doesn't know where her thoughts have gone. When she regains her senses, if the time is short, she will be in a daze for 5 minutes. If the time is long, it will not be half a day. impossible.

A good-for-nothing like her might not be able to do anything well.

So she really needs to participate in this event. No matter what, she has to graduate after studying this major. Don't wait until the end of the day when she doesn't have enough credits and can't get her diploma.

There are seven people in this archaeological activity, three seniors, two male students in the same grade as Xie Zhiliao, and one female student who is the class flower in the class.

There is only one class in each grade in the Department of Archeology, and there are only three girls in the class, so it is not necessarily how beautiful this class girl is, anyway, she should have a pretty big face.

She is also one of the reasons why Xie Zhiliao does not want to go with her this time. Xie Zhiliao sees everyone the same, men and women, old and young, in her eyes, but this class flower always dislikes her. From the first day, it was always aimed at her (the mother author Xie Zhiliao's consistent setting for female supporting roles).

On the car to the destination, there were seven of us, chatting and chatting, and then we were too embarrassed to speak.

It just so happened that Xie Zhiliao was not the kind of person who was good at talking.It just so happens that everyone has nothing to say, and no one is talking, so let her sleep.

Xie Zhiliao closed her eyes, put on headphones, listened to soft music, and quickly fell into the darkness. Then, she had a dream, a dream that she always had.

One of the reasons why she chose to major in archaeology is because she has always had a dream since she was a child.

The dream is a rainy bamboo forest. This dream is so real, as if you can smell the smell of rain and soil. This fresh smell has haunted Xie Zhiliao for many years, both in dreams and in reality.

In the dream, a woman dressed in light gauze and white clothes, like a fairy, walks through the forest with an oil-paper umbrella, walks to a pavilion, and takes a jade pendant handed over by her predecessors.

The man who gave her the jade pendant was also dressed in white, with a fairy-like demeanor comparable to hers, but he never showed his face.

Xie Zhiliao had never seen what the man looked like, but he had seen what the jade pendant looked like time and time again.

So, for this jade pendant that always appeared in dreams, she chose to major in archeology by mistake.

Choosing a major that is not suitable for her is a kind of torture for her, but it is even more torture to have this dream for so many years.

Past and Present.

She felt that the man who gave her the jade pendant must have been her lover in the previous life. In the previous life, they must have had a love affair that moved heaven and earth.The reason why she still has the dream of having each other in this life for 18 years is because the fate between the two has not yet ended, and they will continue their relationship in this life.

So in these years, even after she went to college, she never fell in love with anyone.She has been waiting for this man.

However, for some reason, she felt that she had become more and more irritable and impatient recently.

But if her lover from the previous life still hasn't shown up for a long time, then she won't wait any longer.

But this time she fell asleep in the car, and she didn't have this dream.

Instead, she had another dream, another one she had often had.

This dream is a nightmare——

The perspective in the dream is myself, my childhood self.

She had a quarrel with the neighbor's little boy, who called her ghost-like, unlucky, and a broom star. She couldn't get angry and was very sad, so she went crazy and ran into the forest.

There is an unwritten rule in the village, unless it is an emergency, it is best not to go to the depths of the forest in the village at night, even adults should not have such thoughts.Because the ancestors of every family in the village have passed down a saying that the forest is haunted, and walking through the forest in the middle of the night will offend them.

In the dream, she was wearing cloth shoes, walking through the forest, and finally came to a broken house.

The grass growing on the eaves was one meter high, but I didn't notice it when I was a child, and walked in rashly.

Then, she saw a person hanging from above in the broken house.

The hanging person was wearing a white nightgown, and his body was shaking like a pendulum.

Xie Zhiliao watched, feeling that her own world was also following this person.

Then, the person stopped shaking, as if frozen, fixed in the center of the field of vision.The air in the whole dilapidated house also seemed to freeze, as if it weighed tens of thousands of catties, and it was so oppressive that people couldn't breathe.

Then, Xie Zhiliao seemed to hear the sound of bones breaking, and then the hanging man opened his bloody mouth and let out a piercing wail——Xie Zhiliao also screamed in fright!

Xie Zhiliao screamed and woke up from her dream, startling everyone in the car.

The senior sat beside her, comforting her, and stretched out his hand to her, ready to pat her on the shoulder, or hold her in his arms: "Zhi Liao, what's wrong with you?"

Xie Zhiliao hid aside: "It's nothing."

As he said that, Xie Zhiliu turned his head and looked out the window stubbornly.

The rural scenery is rough and rough, which cannot be compared with the exquisiteness of the city, but it makes her feel very comfortable.

She herself was born in this way, and now she can be regarded as returning to the basics.

Then, in the oil paint color that gradually transitioned from light green to dark green, she saw a woman in a white nightgown with disheveled hair standing under a tree beside the road.

——!

Xie Zhiliu was so frightened that she shrank back again, her whole heart was about to jump out.

The car moved forward slowly, and the ghost under the tree was quickly forgotten by the scenery.

Xie Zhiliao was inexplicably regretful, she shouldn't have gone out this way.

At this time, the senior beside Xie Zhiliao opened his mouth, took out a small box from his bag, and handed it to her: "Zhiliao, I have something to give you."

Without even thinking about it, Xie Zhiliao was ready to refuse.

But the senior immediately opened the box, and inside the box was a necklace of drop-shaped diamonds.

Seeing that necklace, Xie Zhiliao immediately thought of the woman who was always hanging in her dreams.

It seems that my heart is also suspended at this moment.

The blessing of dragging that nightmare, Xie Zhiliao never wears any necklaces, even bracelets, all things related to ropes and lines, she will not wear them on her body, and she will not wear shoes with shoelaces of.

Xie Zhiliu rebuffed: "No, thank you senior."

Ban Hua, who was sitting in the front row, muttered softly, "What are you pretending to be..."

The classmate next to her immediately pinched her arm, telling her to pay attention, her voice was so loud that everyone around could hear it.

Xie Zhiliao didn't respond.

She has always been very cold, from the beginning of her freshman year to the summer vacation of her current freshman year, she has always been that indifferent in spring, summer, autumn and winter, without any interest in everything around her.

She's a gregarious person who goes to everything in the department (for credits), but she's also a loner because she's always alone, even in a crowd.

The senior put away the necklace and didn't give the class flower.Maybe someone is still waiting for the senior to give the necklace, and that person will be the class flower later.

Xie Zhiliu finally calmed down, and looked out the window again.

But as the car drove past the surrounding trees, the shadows in between always reminded Xie Zhiliao of the ghost she saw just now.

Xie Zhiliao turned her gaze back again, and was silently in a daze. The cramped atmosphere in the car made her a million times more comfortable than everything unknown to the outside world.

At ten o'clock in the evening, two hours later than expected, the crowd arrived at their destination, Xiqiao Village.

The driver stopped the car at the entrance of the village, pointed to the front, and said that someone would pick them up after walking a few hundred meters along the road at the entrance of the village.

Everyone dragged their luggage and hurried forward. When they got to the big rock at the entrance of the village, they all saw three big red characters written on the big rock—Chiqiao Village.

Seeing these three words at night, even the boys in their group felt terrified.Because these three words are too red, as if blood is about to ooze out, very ominous.

Xie Zhiliao was stunned, isn't she going to Xiqiao Village, but what's going on with this Chiqiao Village!

Others have also had this question.

Senior: "Oh, this village was originally called Chiqiao Village, but it was renamed Xiqiao Village a few years ago!"

Probably because the village was short of funds, so the big rock at the entrance of the village was not replaced.

"Oh." Everyone understood.It also seemed to understand why the name was changed at this moment.

It's too red.Red is a festive color for everyone, but don't forget that human blood is also red.

But Xie Zhiliao's thoughts still couldn't calm down.

Going around and around, and finally came back.

When she was a child, she grew up in Chiqiao Village.

Xie Zhiliao grew up in Chiqiao Village when she was a child. When she was eight years old, the year her father died, she moved with her mother to a city far away from her hometown.

The mother said they would not go back.

But her mother never told her why.

Xie Zhiliao knew why.

When she was eight years old, she ran out at night and got lost in the forest.

The elder sister of the neighbor's family was named Chu Yao. In order to find her, she was possessed by an evil spirit in the forest and hanged to death on a tree with a crooked neck.

The next morning she fainted at the door of her own house, but the neighbors found Chu Yao's body deep in the woods, and the whole family wept uncontrollably.

Since then, people in the village have disliked her as a broom star.Throwing rotten eggs and rotten leaves at her house was considered very gentle, but then she poured black dog's blood on the gate of her house every day.

They also said that it was Xie Zhiliao who killed Chu Yao, and that Xie Zhiliao was very vicious at a young age.

Unable to bear such slander, Xie Zhiliao moved with her mother to live in a city far away.

Unexpectedly, this time she went back again.

If possible, Xie Zhiliao really wanted to leave now, immediately, immediately.

But she can't.

She drove with everyone for more than ten hours, trekking across mountains and rivers to come here, she couldn't just walk away, and with her own strength, she couldn't go back.

She had no choice but to live with everyone in the homestay in the village that the senior had booked before.

The homestay is a small second floor, and there are many such houses in the village.The seven of them all lived in the same house. There were many rooms. The senior suggested that two people share one room. The extra person could choose to live by himself or share a room with two people.

The senior volunteered and decided to live in a room by himself.

After everyone tidied up, it was eleven o'clock. Today is the first day. I came here hastily and didn't prepare too much. Everyone made a bowl of instant noodles, took them back to their own rooms to eat, and got ready to sleep up.

Xie Zhiliao had no choice but to live in the same house with Banhua.The only consolation is that there are two beds in the room, so I don't need to share a bed with her.

Banhua didn't want to pay attention to Xie Zhiliu, but looked at the price tag in the hotel and muttered to herself: "It costs 30 yuan for a bowl of instant noodles, this is crazy!...Is this a black shop?"

Xie Zhiliao took a few mouthfuls of instant noodles and fell asleep.

But the day is not over yet.

At night, she had nightmares again.

This time, the dream is still very real.
