The four of us were driven out of the car by the driver, and we didn't know why we didn't even do business because we heard the name of Gengjia Village.

"What's the name of this Gengjia Village?" I asked Fu Jiu.

Fu Jiu glanced at the moon in the sky, it was really a little sleepy to take the train for a day and a night, "Xiangxi has been called the holy land of corpse chasers since ancient times. There is thaumaturgy in this place, it can raise corpses, it can drive corpses, and the original purpose is actually so that those poor people who died in a foreign land can return to their hometown for burial. But then it was rumored to be a sorcery. It is said that Gengjia Village has spread the ancient art of raising corpses and driving corpses to this day. So the average person is afraid to go, especially this kind of night. ”

I looked around, and the driver shouted at the top of his voice just now, and he didn't dare to let us get into the car, and the doors were closed tightly. There are no hotels or restaurants around, so you don't have to sleep on the streets this night, do you? There are not even many street lights in this place, and the light bulbs are dim, so I wouldn't be surprised to say that this place can meet ghosts.

Not far from us there was the moo of an old ox, mingled with the sound of bells and whips, and the sound of creaking wheels against the sand on the ground, and an old man drove an ox cart from that side. The old man's swarthy skin was almost invisible in the dim light, and his white teeth and whites of his eyes were even more conspicuous. The old man stopped in front of us in an ox cart, "How many of you are going to Gengjia Village?"

"Who are you?" Fu Jiu frowned and looked the old man up and down.

Normally, I might think it's a pillow handed to me when I'm sleepy, but I've learned many times that there are nails under the pillow.

The old man smiled, "You guys are not small, you dare to go to Gengjia Village in the middle of the night." Those drivers didn't dare to go, and only me and this old cow dared to go at this time. ”

Fu Jiu turned over and got into the ox cart, saying that the ox cart was the ox pulling a board cart with nothing. "They all came up and hurried. ”

I lowered my voice and asked him, "Aren't you afraid of any accidents on this big night?"

Fu Jiu looked at me and pointed to the telephone pole, "I, Fu Jiu, what kind of identity do I have, you can't let me sleep on the streets at night, right?"

I couldn't be stubborn, Wang Jing and the third child also got into the car, and I had to follow.

"Sit tight!" the old man flicked his whip, and the old cow walked slowly down the path.

I was also tired, lying on the cart and looking at the stars in the sky. Fortunately, this cart is also big enough, and there is no problem with me, the third child and Fu Jiu are lying down, only Wang Jing is still sitting, with his eyes slightly closed.

"How many of them are outsiders, right? Are you looking for relatives or something in Gengjia Village?"

I listened to the old man who seemed to have something to say.

Fu Jiu took the stubble, "Fellow, are you also from Gengjia Village?"

"Yes, I am the village chief of Gengjia Village, Geng Dazhu. ”

"To tell you the truth, we went to Gengjia Village because we heard that Gengjia Village was a bit strange, so let's go and take a look. ”

"Oh, that's right. Geng Dazhu flicked his whip and slapped Lao Niu, "If you don't have a place to live, you can live in my house first, Lao Han and I are alone, and there is a vacant house before the wife and children leave at home, which is enough for you to live in." ”

Before we could reply, I heard the sound of bells in the woods beside the path. I asked, "Village Chief, is there anyone else else who is still on the road so late?"

"Huh?" Geng Dazhu was stunned by my question, "No, what's wrong?"

"Then how do I hear what seems to be another bell?" I listened carefully, trying to find out where it was coming from.

"Oh no, I forgot to tell you! Quickly cover your ears! Close your eyes!" Geng Dazhu finished speaking, then he grabbed the reins and let the old cow not move, covering his ears and closing his eyes.

When we saw him so flustered, we hurried to learn from him. What the hell is going on?

Curiosity made me want to see what was going on, I quietly narrowed my eyes, and could faintly see outside, but I didn't expect a hand to suddenly cover my eyes. The sound of the bell is getting closer and closer, and you can still hear it even if you cover your ears. Melodious shouts gradually entered my ears.

"Xiangxi drives out the corpses, and the living avoid them!"

It may be the scene of the corpse in front of me, but I can't see it. His face seemed to be covered in something floating over.

The voice became farther and farther away, and Geng Dazhu breathed a sigh of relief, "Okay, you can open your eyes." ”

I opened my eyes, and as soon as I grabbed my face, two or three copper coins were stuck on my face. I tossed the paper money aside like an electric shock.

"Don't be afraid, this is a corpse chaser, so that the dead can return to where he should go. Geng Dazhu continued to drive the ox cart forward.

It turns out that Fu Jiu said before that the corpse in Xiangxi has just experienced a live version. Fu Jiu glanced at me: "You kid is bold enough, you can do whatever people don't let you do, if I don't feel that your kid will peek and cover your eyes, maybe what will happen to you." ”

After a while, we could see a village in front of us by moonlight. There was no light in the village, after all, it was the middle of the night. Geng Dazhu didn't let us get out of the car, and drove us directly into a small yard.

"Come down, this is my house, the door is not locked, you go and sit for a while, I will go and tie the ox and find you a bedding." ”

The four of us got off the cart, Geng Dazhu led the cow out of the yard, and we waited in the first house. This house is really not small, and there are a few rooms, which also seem to be idle.

We didn't dare to make our own decisions, so we had to sit down at the table in this hall, and we were not polite, and poured a few glasses of water and drank it ourselves.

"Oh, I didn't talk much because of thirst all the way. The third child took a sip of water and felt like he had come back to life. I really didn't listen to his nonsense along the way, and I always felt that something was missing.

Wang Jing's expression was a little unnatural, "To tell you the truth, I have felt uncomfortable since I entered this village. ”

"That can't be helped. When we found what the second boss asked us to find, we hurried away. I don't feel right here. ”

Before we could talk for a while, Geng Dazhu pushed the door and came in, still holding the futon.

Where did he get it from?

Geng Dazhu put the futon into the other rooms in and out, and only then said to us, "It's okay, if you are hungry, I will go and make you something to eat, if you are sleepy, go to sleep directly, treat this as your own home, call me if there is anything, and I will be in front of you." ”

A few of us discussed in a whisper how to sleep in these two rooms, Fu Jiu said, "Forget it, don't divide it, let's sleep together." Anyway, I don't take off my clothes, I'm afraid of something. ”

I understand what he means, if something happens, we can get along together, and it's always good to be careful.

We picked the room closest to the door, and after talking to Geng Dazhu, we closed the door. After a careful inspection that there was nothing special, we began to lay out the mattresses. I lay on the kang and spread out the mattress, and I felt as if I had touched something slimy.
