Chapter 45: The fog rises
Lu Chuan walked slowly along the path into the village.
Ganwang Village is not big, about fifty or sixty households, and before entering the village, Lu Chuan felt that Ganwang Village was very different.
It was only five o'clock in the afternoon, the sun had not yet set, and the village was already fogging, and everything seemed to be indistinct.
From a distance, the sky in the village was gloomy, not cloudy like rain, but an oppressive gloomy day, with no sun in sight, as if someone had put a lid on top of the village.
Soon, Lu Chuan walked to the first building in the village, which seemed to be a house on the edge of the village, and the house revealed a sense of decay, which was indescribably weird.
"This house should be unoccupied for some days. ”
This is different from other villages, where houses have been uninhabited for a long time, have fallen into disrepair, and have collapsed, which is not unusual.
But the house in front of me is as if the owner has not been gone for a long time, neither looking dilapidated nor dilapidated, but there is a sense of decay in it, it feels like something has been in the refrigerator for a long time, shriveled and blackened, and the inside has rotted.
Lu Chuan is like looking through the crack in the door.
"Meow...... Meow ......"
Suddenly, a black cat rushed out of the ear room next to it, and Lu Chuan was so frightened that he slapped his chest again and again.
"Brute!"
"Dare to scare me, believe it or not, I'll catch a snake and make an old hen stew you into a pot of 'dragon, tiger and phoenix'!"
Lu Chuan picked up a stone on the ground and was about to throw it at the black cat, the cat's yellow eyes suddenly widened like a copper bell, and he raised his head like a tiger and roared, and there was a "rustle" sound around him, and suddenly more than a dozen black cats of the same color gathered behind the flying cat.
"Lie down, it actually knows how to call a helper!"
"It's not going to be a jing, is it?"
The more Lu Chuan thought about it, the more frightened he became, and the more frightened he was when he saw more than a dozen black cats dancing their teeth and claws at the "meow".
"Even if these things don't make sperm, they're wild stray cats, and they have to get vaccinated when they scratch me. ”
"Zhou Shuren is right, if a dog bites you, you can't bite it back. This principle also works well with cats. ”
"I'm a good man, I don't fight with cats!"
Lu Chuan threw the stone in his hand and trotted along the village path, but the black cats didn't chase after them, but the cats kept barking along the way, which made people panic!
The more he ran towards the village, the heavier the fog became, and the distance of two meters in front of him was already indistinguishable.
"There's light ahead!"
Lu Chuan walked towards the faint red light in front of him.
As the saying goes, Wangshan ran a dead horse, and when I saw that the red light was very close, I actually walked for more than 10 minutes to come to the light, but it turned out to be two lanterns hanging in front of an old-fashioned mansion.
"What is this place?"
By the candlelight, I saw a plaque on the top of the gate, on which were written "Wang Clan Ancestral Hall" three vermilion characters.
"It turned out to be an ancestral hall, no wonder lanterns were hung. ”
Lu Chuan wanted to push the door in, but when he saw the red light of the candle flame in the pair of lanterns on the door flashing back to him, the picture of those zombie Hong Kong movies that he had seen Lin Zhengying when he was a child flashed in his mind, and his body not only shuddered.
"Forget it, I'm here to dig up treasures, and I'm not here to take risks, so don't go in!"
Lu Chuan turned around to leave, but unexpectedly, at this time, he heard a 'squeak', which was the sound of the door opening.
When I looked back, the gate was empty.
Is the wind blowing?
"Anyone?"
Courageous, Lu Chuan shouted, but no one responded.
"Don't be afraid!"
"I am highly educated, a materialist. ”
"I don't believe in ghosts!"
Lu Chuan first set a tone in his heart, and walked in with courage, and what caught him was a porch wall.
The entrance wall is also known as the feng shui wall, and in the past, such a wall would be erected at the entrance of the house of a large family, which was built directly opposite the door to block the feng shui
, to prevent the outflow of good luck, but also to block the door rampage of all kinds of bad luck to people.
Look closely, this wall is actually made of large bluestone, and it is carved with a pattern of double dragons playing with pearls.
"It seems that this Wang Clan Ancestral Hall was also a wealthy family in the past. ”
Bypassing the entrance, there is a patio inside, paved with green bricks, but it is already overgrown with grass because it is too old at the end of the year and few people have cleaned it.
After the patio is the lobby, and the front door is locked.
"Anyone?"
Still no one responded.
"It's all here, it's important to go in and have a look!"
Lu Chuan had the courage to push open the door, but saw a terrifying scene that he would never forget in his life.
Two rows of candles are lit in the lobby, under the candlelight, there is an incense case in the hall, and the altar in front of the incense case enshrines steamed buns, roast chickens, pig heads and other tributes, and behind it are dozens of god cards.
It is the most normal thing to enshrine the god card in the ancestral hall, but in this environment, dozens of god cards are in the hearts of people who look at it under the shaking candle flame.
"Ladies and gentlemen, eat and drink well. ”
"The kid is ignorant and broke in by mistake, don't blame you, just leave!"
Lu Chuan clasped his hands together, muttered in his mouth, grabbed the door and ran, and before he took two steps, there seemed to be a person in the smoke who rushed to him and bumped into him, and fell to the ground together.
"Ahh
Both screamed.
"Jiang Xiaotuan, why are you here?"
Lu Chuan immediately recognized that the person who collided with him was Jiang Xiaotuan.
"I ...... I saw that you were sneaky, and I knew that you lied to me, and it was definitely not to look at any college classmates. ”
"I'll follow you all the way!"
"Lu Chuan, this village ...... I look so weird......"
“...... I'm a little scared!"
Lu Chuan said angrily and funny: "I know I'm afraid I'm still coming!"
"I didn't know this village was so terrifying when I came!"
Well, that doesn't seem like a problem!
"Lu Chuan, what are you doing here?"
"Let's go outside the village first. ”
To be honest, Lu Chuan was also a little panicked by the atmosphere in this village.
Out of the ancestral hall of the Lin family, Lu Chuan took Jiang Xiaotuan to leave the village along the original road, but the fog was too big, and he couldn't distinguish between east and west, north and south, and walked around the village for more than ten minutes.
“...... Lu Chuan, we seem to be lost?"
"Be confident, remove the word 'as if', we're really lost!"
“...... You're really lost! Then you still have the heart to joke!"
"What are you afraid of, the village is so big, we can go out when the fog clears. ”
“...... What if it doesn't go all night? ”
Lu Chuan really didn't think about this problem, and said dumbly: "Yes...... Probably not. ”
Jiang Xiaotuan rolled her eyes for a while, she found out, and Lu Chuan was also unreliable.
"Huh?"
Lu Chuan couldn't tell the difference between east and west, north and south, and he didn't know that there was a system prompt box that flickered slightly.
The treasure that had not been shown before lit up again.
Is it only when it gets dark that the treasure will be displayed?
“...... I remember that the treasure was shown to be on the west side of the village, and I followed the hint to walk over, and I must be able to get out of the village!"
