"This place, from the first day I came here, I felt that something was wrong. ”

The old man took a sip of tea and leisurely told everyone the story of the past.

It was a summer five years ago, because Chen Lao heard a friend mention that there was a Hongqing Mountain in the west of this spiritual world, full of clouds and mist, full of fairy energy, for a while, he couldn't hold back his excitement, and he came here alone.

When he first climbed this mountain, the scenery on both sides really attracted him - the mountains are layered, the distant mountains and near the mountains all present a variety of charming postures, the trees on both sides are thick, the water is murmuring, and it adds a bit of fairy atmosphere.

"It was because of this scenery that I was dazzled by this scenery that I landed in the field where I am now. ”

Chen Lao recalled the sadness, lowered his eyes, and said a little helplessly.

At that time, he was only interested in enjoying the scenery, but he didn't notice that the fog around him became thicker and thicker as the altitude increased.

When he felt it, he couldn't help but sigh, it is worthy of being an immortal mountain, and his friends are indeed true.

But it was this fog that made Chen Lao lose his direction all of a sudden, and finally slipped under his feet, and he fell directly from the mountain road into the village......

"The village is peaceful and the villagers are very welcoming. Chen Lao looked out of the door and said with some nostalgia, "At that time, I really thought this was the legendary paradise." ”

After Chen Lao came here, the villagers have always treated him as a distinguished guest, and invited him to their home every day, and the broken leg he broke after slipping down the mountain was also treated by the villagers to find a doctor.

Seeing that the villagers were so enthusiastic, Chen Lao was also very grateful, and after his leg injury was healed, he also did his best to help the villagers do some farm work.

"All this, since Na Ayan left, everything has changed. ”

Old Chen's words turned around, and he said with some fear on his face.

Ayan?

Didn't Ah Yan just leave today!

Hearing Old Chen's words, Ye Chen's heart shook violently - when he was at the village chief's house just now, he could see with his own eyes that Ah Yan's coffin was parked in the main room!

Looking at Ye Chen's somewhat surprised face, the old man was not surprised, knocked the water cup on the table, and said, "You should have already been to the village chief's house, and you should have seen the coffin." ”

"Yes. Ye Chen's heart was already in his throat at this time, and he didn't hide it, and directly told Chen Lao what he had seen and heard at the village chief's house.

"The strange place is here. Chen Laomeng paused, and then said slowly, "That Ayan, in the past five years, at this time every year, I will die again!"

Seeing Ye Chen's puzzled face, Old Chen told Ye Chen again.

When he first arrived here in the first year, there was a girl in the village who was very bright, with bright eyes and bright teeth, and a warm fragrance of nephrite, which made the whole village of men want to stop, and this old man was naturally no exception.

"I'm a lot older, and my mind is still so alive......"

Looking at the lust in Chen Lao's eyes, Dieyi couldn't help but scold in her heart, and her eyes when she looked at Chen Lao also carried a touch of disdain.

As if seeing that the eyes of several people were a little wrong, Chen Lao coughed twice in a hurry before continuing to speak.

It's just that the girl doesn't go out much on weekdays, and she is the granddaughter of the village chief, so most of the villagers just appreciate it from a distance and don't do anything out of the ordinary.

But there were always a few who were blinded by lust - one morning, the girl's body was found naked and dead in the square, and there were a few drops of dried blood faintly under her body......

That day, Chen Lao finally knew the girl's name - Ah Yan.

On the day of Ah Yan's death, everyone in the village was in danger, looking at the angry village chief, the male descendants in the village swore poisonously to promise that they would never do it themselves, and in the end, the suspicion fell on Old Man Chen.

Speaking of this, Chen Lao shook his head bitterly, and sighed: "I am a foreigner, a slight person, everyone said that it was me at that time, even if it was not done by me, in that case, it became the ...... I did."

"Fortunately, I happened to have a serious illness at that time, and it was a little difficult to walk, and after careful examination by the village chief, I didn't pursue it again. ”

"It was after Ah Yan's death that the village began to become wrong, the fog became thicker and thicker, and in the end, everyone seemed to be condensed into the fog!"

It was then that I began to get frightened, and hid in my house and did not dare to go out, but the people of the village ignored me because I was mad, and at last people began to stand guard in front of my door in turn, as if they were on guard against me. ”

"Since then, I didn't dare to talk nonsense, for fear of angering them again by saying the wrong thing, so I had to carefully manage my own business and barely make a living, barely making ends meet......

At the end, the remorse in the old man's eyes became stronger and stronger, and his voice gradually lowered.

"You kid is a clever boy, and I knew by day that you would go to the village chief's house, so I prepared the mouse for you in advance—and you know that I called you over. ”

After speaking, the old man looked at Ye Chen with some approval in his eyes - when the mouse was responding, coupled with the old man's hook hand, it was difficult for Ye Chen to understand.

"By the way, what's the matter with Ah Yan dying once a year?"

Ye Chen listened to it for a long time, but he didn't hear any useful information, and asked a little anxiously for a while.

"Because Ayan doesn't blink an eye. The old man glanced at Ye Chen with some deep meaning, and then said, "After Ah Yan died, she was pregnant in her womb, although she died, the child survived, and ten months later, she was born intact. ”

"You've seen that kid too, it's the baby spirit just now!"

Seeing Ye Chen's surprised face, Chen Lao paused, and then continued: "It is precisely because of the birth of the infant spirit, every time on his birthday, Ah Yan always has to be resurrected once, and after making out with the infant spirit, he dies again, and yesterday is the day when Ah Yan left......

Ayan!

Ye Chen silently wrote down this name in his heart - according to what Chen Lao said, everything that happened in this village was absolutely inseparable from this Ah Yan.

"By the way, boy, there are four places in this village that you must never go to - the well in the west village, the locust tree in the east village, the fish pond in the north village, and the wood farm in the south village. The old man stared at Ye Chen for a while, and then said in a serious manner, "Those four places are extremely yin, and if you go rashly, I'm afraid you will die there." ”

Seeing the old man's solemn face, Ye Chen muttered in his heart - he didn't fully trust this old man at the beginning, and when he saw the seriousness of what the old man said, the curiosity in his heart became heavier and heavier - no, those four places are the key to uncovering the secrets of this village......

"Alright, you guys go back quickly, it's time for the shadow mouse, don't let the village chief find out again!"

Looking at the sky that was a little lit up, the old man hurriedly urged.

Hearing this, Ye Chen hurriedly looked at his watch, indeed, it was already five o'clock - it was less than an hour before the shadow mouse expired.

Later, things will change, and Ye Chen is also worried that something will go wrong over there - if it is exposed at this time, then their next days will be difficult.

Thinking of this, he didn't waste time, he pulled up his clothes and hurriedly said goodbye to the old man, and rushed to the village chief's house.

Ah Yan, Ying Ling, Master Wang, the village chief, and this old man - there are too many weird places in this village......

Ye Chen was a little restless along the way, and the biggest problem now was not that he didn't know where to start, but that there were too many things that needed to be investigated, and coupled with the intricate relationships involved, it gave him a little headache for a while.

"Boy, it's all up to you. ”

Not long after Ye Chen left, Chen Lao walked to the door leisurely, the corners of his mouth slightly raised to look at the backs of a few people leaving, and with the old man, there were a few white lanterns fluttering on the eaves......
