Strange story player

The next day, it was dawn.

Qiao Zizai leaned against the car window and looked at the familiar scenery around him.

She has come back.

Returned to my hometown.

I took out my phone and looked at the time——

Six o'clock.

It was just six o'clock, and she was the only one on the early shuttle.

Qiao Ziru rubbed his eyes, sat up straight, and looked at the driver's seat.

She vaguely remembered that she rushed back anxiously to attend the funeral of someone...a very important person.

But who is it?

She found that her mind was blurry and she couldn't figure out who that person was.

My head... hurts so much.

Forget it, don’t think about it anymore.

When you arrive at Qiaojia Village, you will naturally know.

She looked out the window. Under the dim light on both sides of the road, the branches of the trees looked strange. There was not a single oncoming car on the narrow country road, and the surroundings were extremely quiet. There was only the sound of vehicles rolling forward.

Qiao Ziru shrank her neck, she suddenly felt a little cold.

The shadowy figures outside the car window made her feel familiar yet a little strange, just like the driver of a country bus in the driver's seat.

Although you can vaguely see his profile, you can't see it clearly.

Forget it, let’s take a rest...

She was a little tired and leaned her head against the car window and closed her eyes.

However, not long after the car drove, there was a sudden violent bump! Her head hit the car window glass hard.

The pain sobered her up a bit.

Opening his eyes and rubbing his head, Qiao Ziru took a look at what was going on, only to find that the sky was much brighter than before.

An orange-red hole has been opened in the sky, giving the distant mountains a glamorous red edge.

She felt a little strange... wasn't this morning?

Why doesn't it look like a sunrise, but the color is more like a sunset...

But before she could think about it, the red sunshine shone on the road in front of her, and the country bus didn't know when it stopped.

Suddenly, a miserable suona sounded suddenly.

Qiao Ziru's heart trembled. He followed the sound and saw two rows of people in white clothes and mourning on the road ahead, carrying a big red coffin and slowly passing by the car.

Time seemed to be slowed down at this moment. The funeral procession was obviously just crossing the road, but it took an extremely long time.

Step by step... step by step... She couldn't see everyone's face clearly, but everyone's movements were completely imprinted in her mind.

The strange suona sound was not noisy and harsh, but became more and more distant... and gradually became inaudible.

By the time Qiao Ziru came to his senses, the funeral procession had disappeared and the country bus had started again, slowly driving towards Qiaojia Village.

Which family did the deceased just now belong to? Has anyone else passed away in Qiaojia Village...

Qiao Ziru thought.

Her consciousness was hazy and chaotic. Not long after, a bright red sunlight shone on her face.

When he suddenly came to his senses, he was already standing at the door of the bus and was getting off.

Qiao subconsciously raised his hand to block the sun.

It was too red...sunshine, she remembered...the morning sun was obviously golden...why was it so red...

Moreover, it seemed as if it hit her specially.

Everything around her was still dimly hidden in the darkness. Only the place where she stood, the door of the bus... there happened to be a ray of red sunlight.

After getting off the bus, just as I was about to turn around and say thank you to the driver, the door closed on its own and the bus slowly walked away with the license plate unclear...

Qiao Ziru felt that he was too tired.

I was so tired that I felt dizzy and couldn't remember many things.

Fortunately, we have arrived at the entrance of the village.

The familiar road reminded her of the not-so-good memories from the past.

By the way, there was a family at the entrance of the village who had a dog. I used to be scared to death by the dog tied at the door.

There is obviously a chain tied to it, but it is always stretched straight by it, grinning ferociously, leaping up and barking...

Don't wake it... don't wake it...

Qiao Ziru murmured in his heart and walked quickly and lightly through the house.

Huh?

It was quite quiet this time.

Didn't it wake up?

Qiao Ziru looked back, but this look almost frightened her to the point of suffocating her breath!

That ferocious black dog was staring right at her!

It still grinned and stretched the chain straight.

But this time, it didn't scream...

It just looked at her quietly.

Strangely enough, its eyes were as vivid as a human's, which made her shudder.

Qiao Ziru quickly turned around and left.

After entering the village, the sky finally became much brighter.

Country people get up early, and Qiao Ziru has already seen three or five old people sitting in their courtyards, staring blankly ahead, as if they are still awake.

But maybe he really didn't get enough sleep. Whether it was people or the entire village, Qiao Ziru always felt that everyone... everything was cast in a layer of gray. Although it didn't look like a black and white movie, the colors were not vivid enough.

Gray and silent... I haven't returned to my hometown for a long time. Has the village become like this?

Qiao Ziru sighed a little. After the young people left, similar villages would indeed be left with dead silence.

She still raised her hands to cover half of the sunlight. The sad red light made her almost unable to open her eyes. After searching for several times, she still couldn't find the way to her home.

my home...

Where?

Qiao Ziru wandered around the village.

The roads around me are obviously familiar, but they don't feel like them.

This feeling made her particularly confused.

In the gray world, there was only a ray of red sunshine shining on Qiao Ziru.

She hesitated for a long time, and finally plucked up the courage to ask the villagers which direction Qiao Liang's house was.

There is an old man in the courtyard next to him. He is leaning on the door of the courtyard with his legs crossed. His face is wrinkled and cannot be seen clearly... He is like a sculpture.

"grandfather……"

Qiao Ziru thought about it, feeling a little ashamed that she couldn't recognize the old man from the same village and couldn't name him.

"Excuse me...which direction is Qiao Liang's house?"

The old man said nothing and didn't even move his expression. He was gray, both his face and clothes... were all gray.

The gray color overshadowed all his original appearance.

However, he still answered Qiao Ziru.

The old man slowly raised his hand and pointed in a direction.

Qiao Ziru looked in the direction of his finger, was that over there...

She quickly bowed her thanks and rushed over there.

The old man behind him was hidden in the gray color, slowly blending in with the surroundings, making it difficult to see clearly.

The miserable sunshine still hit her alone, illuminating Qiao Ziru all the way home.

This is the way...

It's becoming more and more familiar.

Getting more and more familiar!

Qiao Ziru was a little excited.

Finally, her feet stopped. Isn't the fenced yard in front of her her home?

However, she vaguely saw something that seemed to be placed in the yard?

ah……

correct.

I went home this time because someone in my family passed away...

Qiao Ziru suddenly understood.

Come to the front of the yard, open the door, and enter the yard...

A large red coffin was placed on four white benches.

The mouth of the coffin is covered, and it seems that he has been buried...

Who is the deceased...

Qiao subconsciously walked forward, stretched out his hand, and touched the coffin...

Qiaojia Village, and even the whole world, was in deathly silence.

The scarlet sunlight shone on her and the coffin without any heat.

The confusion in Qiao Ziru's eyes became more and more intense...

Who is inside?

————

Qiaojia Village.

Qin Manjiang saw that new strange stories appeared in [Tongjie].

Mei Sijun also found Qiao Ziru. She fell outside the fence and her eyes were closed.

After checking, she was found to be alive.

but……

[Tongjie] once again showed the scarlet text——

[Strange story: Return to the soul. 】

[Death of this life and life of the other, people go and their souls return]

(This time, the soul-returning and the wedding-clothes are alternately performed. This volume is very long...)
