Applejack drove into a village not far from the city, where the villagers were sticking couplets, and there were a few cannons in the distance, and the festive atmosphere was particularly strong. Applejack parked the car, looked around and told me to get out of the car.

"Brother Tianyu, this is the yard of one of my relatives' house, it is a little broken, but this village is all locals, and there are few outsiders, so it is relatively safe. Ah Liang said, and led me into a bedroom.

In the corner of the bedroom are several boxes of instant noodles and a box of liquor. There was nothing but a few plastic stools, a small low table, and all that was left was a bunk that could sleep about four or five people. The quilt was not folded, and there were two buckets of instant noodles on the small low table, and several empty wine bottles were placed next to the low table. The thing that warms the house is a small stove at the door, which is also cold at this time, and I don't know how they sleep at night.

Ajie saw that I was standing at the door and didn't go in, and scratched her head, "Brother Tianyu, I was wronged, now is a very moment." I hummed and asked them to bring in the souvenirs I had brought with them in the car. The so-called local specialties are some air-dried bacon and sausages, as well as dried fish and other foods.

As soon as I moved a small stool and sat down, an aunt walked in outside, "Xiao Liang, there are guests at home?" Xiao Liang accompanied the smiling face, "Second aunt, this is our boss." Auntie looked me up and down, and then looked at my large bags of souvenirs, "Are these the New Year's goods you are preparing for the New Year?" Applejack picked up a plastic bag and picked up a few, "Auntie, if you don't dislike it, just take it and eat it." Ah Liang's second aunt rubbed her hands and pushed twice, "How embarrassing is this, you see that I am Xiaoliang's second aunt, and he also gave me so much room money, how can I be embarrassed to take your things again?"

I tilted my head, "It's okay, you can just take it!" Applejack hurriedly said, "You see our boss has said it, you can take it!" The second aunt dragged the plastic bag, "Since your boss has said it, then I'm embarrassed." Xiao Liang! If there is anything missing in the future, I will go to my aunt's house to get it!" After speaking, he turned around and went out.

Applejack smiled and patted her second aunt, "Look at what you said, see the outside, see the outside." Auntie walks slowly, come over when you have time. ”

I sat down on a stool, Applejack reflexively walked over to me, and Liang leaned against the door. Suddenly, Ah Liang squatted on the ground, covered his face and cried. Ajie pulled Ah Liang in and closed the door, "What are you doing here?" Ah Liang wiped her tears, "It's nothing, don't worry about it, let's make something to eat! Brother Tianyu, after a day's journey, he must be hungry." After speaking, he wiped his face vigorously twice, got up and went out.

After a while, Ah Liang brought back a pile of dry firewood and lit the stove in the house. There is a hint of warmth in the house, and Applejack goes to borrow a pot and goes to the village shop to buy a pot of oil, soy sauce, and salt. Ah Liang picked up two large buckets of water from outside and poured them into the pot. I sat on a stool and didn't say a word.

The dish was placed on the low table, and Applejack opened a bottle of wine and poured it for me, Ah Liang and herself, "Brother Tianyu, I've caused you trouble this year, our brothers owe you a good year, next year, next year will definitely make up for you, and give you a lively Spring Festival." After saying that, he was bored, and Ah Liang also picked up the wine glass, "I'm not as good at talking as Brother Jie, it's all in the wine." After saying that, he was bored.

After they finished drinking, they ate two more mouthfuls of food, and they both looked at me, "Brother Tianyu, what's wrong with you?

I looked up at them and shook my head, "I don't know what's wrong, I always can't figure out some things, my brain is too stupid." Applejack took the chopsticks in front of me and handed them to me, "If you don't understand, don't think about it, let's eat something first! "I took the chopsticks and was just about to eat when my phone rang.

I took out my mobile phone, it was Jiahui's number, I pressed the answer button, "Where are you?" A cold voice, I couldn't hear the man or woman, "Who are you?" The other party was silent for three seconds, "You don't need to know, if you want this woman to live, before twelve o'clock, you will come to Majiazhuang in the south of the city alone." With that, the phone hung up.

Maybe the voice of the earpiece is loud, or maybe the other party is talking loudly, Ajie tugged on my arm, "Brother Tianyu, you must not go!" Ah Liang also nodded, I asked him why he couldn't go? Ajie glanced at Ah Liang, and then said to me: "Twelve years ago, Majiazhuang was washed away by a mudslide, and there was no survivor on the village. ”

Liang nodded, indicating that Applejack was telling the truth. Applejack continued, "The other party must not have a good heart when he chooses such a vicious place, Brother Tianyu, don't be fooled. ”

I looked at Applejack, "Applejack, we've known each other for a long time. Your conversation, your behavior, your mannerisms, you are not an ordinary person, people like you eat everywhere, why do you come to this place to hang out with these people?" Applejack lowered her head, "Brother Tianyu, can you not ask? I have a last resort, and there are some things I don't want to say, but don't worry, I have absolutely no ill will towards you, and I have never done anything to be sorry for others." After speaking, he raised the wine bottle in front of him, drank it all, and then stood up, "Isn't it Majiazhuang? Ah Liang also stood up, "I'll go too." ”

The three of us had eaten and drunk to our heart's content, and came out to get into the van. Because our village is in the north of the city, and Majiazhuang is in the south of the city, we have to go through the city. Applejack had drunk so much that she couldn't get enough foot on her feet and drove the van as fast as she could. was soon stopped by the traffic police, and after the alcohol test, he was ordered to drive drunk, was taken away, and the car was temporarily detained.

Ah Liang and I stood on the road, "Brother, why don't we take a taxi?" I nodded, stretched out my hand and stopped several cars, but when I heard that it was Majiazhuang, I didn't go. Ah Liang motioned for me not to speak, stopped the car, the master asked where to go, Ah Liang opened the co-pilot's door, motioned for me to get in the car first, and then sat in the back seat by himself, "Don't talk nonsense, drive forward." The driver nodded twice, quickly put the gear, and stepped on the accelerator.

"Two bosses, where are you going?" The master looked at the rearview mirror, Ah Liang took out five hundred yuan from his body and threw it into the cab, "Drive to the south of the city." ”

The master said "Okay!", the car sped all the way, and soon arrived at the area in the south of the city, and the driver glanced in the rearview mirror, "Where are the bosses going to the south of the city?"

As soon as I said Majiazhuang, the driver braked directly, "Don't go, don't go, don't pay any money." Ah Liang seemed to be prepared, and put a dagger on the driver's shoulder, "Can you go now?" The driver shook twice, "It's haunted! Ah Liang stretched out the dagger forward, hooked it back, and the blade of the dagger was close to the neck of the driver, "There are no ghosts in Majiazhuang, I don't know." But I'm telling you, if you don't go today, you'll be turned into a ghost immediately. The driver hurriedly re-ignited, "The hero spares his life, I'll go, I'll go." ”

The car soon entered the mountain road, and the more and more they went, they all knew that Majiazhuang was haunted, and the villages close to Majiazhuang were all moved, and those who could be detoured were also walked around, so the road to Majiazhuang was very difficult to walk. Ah Liang was afraid that the dagger would be stabbed into the bumpy mountain road, so he withdrew it. The driver turned on the lights and drove forward cautiously. Because I just bought my phone, I don't have much power and I haven't charged it, and now it's less than 30%.

The car stopped in front of a pile of rubble, "Boss, it's here." Ah Liang opened the window and looked out the window, "Are you kidding me?" Ah Liang got out of the car, I didn't get off, "Ah Liang, you come up." Ah Liang heard me call him, and he came up again, "Brother, you say." I motioned for him to wait for me, "If I don't come back, you can just go back and pick up Applejack, you two are far away from here, don't come back." "Ah Liang wanted to go with me, but I stopped him anyway.

The winter in the mountains is really cold, and as soon as I got out of the car, a cold wind blew through me, making me feel a little cool. Although I don't have Vajra's indestructible body, my night vision eyes are still there, so the darkness doesn't affect me much. As I was leaving, Liang handed me a short knife and pinned it to the belt of my waist.

Walking through the gravel beach, I saw a collapsed archway, and the plaque on the archway only had a Zhuang character left. When I entered the village, I looked at the village, very ordinary houses, scattered mountain roads, not at all like it was washed by a mudslide. Could it be that someone has repaired this place later? There are a few ghost fires in the darkness, which proves that there have indeed been people dead here, and there have been so many people for so many years, either that people have just died here, or that there are so many dead people that they will not be dispersed for a while.

I took out my mobile phone and dialed Jiahui's phone, and I actually got through, only to realize that something was wrong, the phone actually had a signal in this kind of village where no one lived. I didn't think much of it at first, but after getting on the phone, I hurriedly asked where you are? The other party was silent for a long time, and said in my ear, "Right here." I subconsciously jumped to the side, and a black figure disappeared in an instant. I looked around intently, "What the hell are you doing? You asked me to come and I'll come too, where is Jiahui?"

A black figure fell from the sky, "Want to know?" "I pulled out my short knife and cut the thin silver thread on the shadow's body, and the shadow lost control of the silver thread and collapsed on the ground like a puddle of mud. I crouched down and stabbed him with a knife, as if it wasn't a real person, but a puppet.

"Are you a puppeteer?" I asked him aloud, and the black puppet on the ground suddenly stood up again, "Yanshi, to be exact." I looked at the black puppet in front of me, "Where is your body?" the puppet stretched out his hand and waved, "I can't tell you this, but I can tell you where she is with Jiahui, who you've been thinking about?" I reached out and grabbed the puppet's hand, "What is the condition?" The puppet directly removed the part I was holding from the body, "The condition is that there is no condition." After saying that, the puppet's body emitted a huge black smoke and fell to the ground, and this time it couldn't get up again.

I had to keep going inside and see if I could find anything else.

Soon I found a house, and unlike other houses, this house looked like it was newly built, and it looked out of place in this kind of place, the main thing was that the yard was actually locked. I flew into the courtyard, which was overgrown with weeds, but it didn't affect the light from the house, and there were people living here. I tiptoed to the window, and there were a dozen people inside.
