Across the long ridges, the fields on both sides were covered with deep grass, even on the ridges, they were flooded by wild grass, and from time to time there were snakes swimming over here, which scared Li Hao, Bai Yujing used a stick to pick up the guy who was in the way before continuing to move forward.

Bai Yujing walked on the ridge, you can see the mountains in the distance, the mountains are continuous, a wide river converges from the top of the mountain, flows in the distance, surrounds the mountains, and moistens this world.

"Look ahead!" Li Hao pointed ahead, Bai Yujing immediately saw a deserted village appear in his eyes, the front was the archway at the entrance of the village, Bai Yujing walked over, the archway was already very old, less than five meters high, two of the three words on it had been completely wiped out, and only the source word in the middle could still be seen a little trace.

The archway is built of white, connecting the streets and houses, and there are several stairs in front of a half-meter-high shelf, all of which are built with half-meter-long irregular stones, and there is a mulberry tree at the entrance of the village, which grows very luxuriantly.

Bai Yujing nodded: "It seems that it should be here, let's go in and have a look." ”

The village still maintains its ancient style, the typical characteristic buildings of the southern water town, walking inside, the road is lined with brick and stone tile houses, the ground is paved with large stone slabs, all over the village, Bai Yujing pushed open the door of a house to see, the wooden door just stretched out his hand, pushed it halfway, and saw the upper part collapse, scattering a large amount of dust.

"Ahem, ahem!"

Bai Yujing and Li Hao went in to take a look, the tables and chairs in the room were complete, and the pots and pans were all there, but it was full of cobwebs, and thick dust was scattered everywhere.

The light just shone on a water tank, Bai Yujing opened the wooden lid of the water tank, the water tank was not filled with water, what was in it was grain, Bai Yujing took a look, there was a bag of blackened old rice and half a bag of flour.

Li Hao also walked in from outside: "I've seen everything, but there's nothing." ”

Bai Yujing said: "There is a problem here!"

Li Hao immediately walked over and looked at the water tank: "It's normal, what's the problem?"

Bai Yujing immediately said: "The things are too complete, you see, even the food is still in the water tank, which means that the people here are in a hurry when they leave, and they don't have time to take the things away, so they leave in a hurry." ”

Bai Yujing immediately walked out of the kitchen: "Let's go to other homes to have a look." ”

This village is connected to each other by small alleys, which makes people feel a little dizzy when walking, each of which is connected to each other, and is divided into large public areas, small doorways and alleys, which makes people feel like they have returned to the Jiangnan of the last century.

Bai Yujing and Li Hao entered a few more yards, and finally entered a relatively spacious courtyard facing the street and stopped, and found that almost all the houses were in such a situation, and all the things were still in the room, Bai Yujing could think that there must have been a big change in the village at that time, so these villagers left here in a hurry, and they didn't even come back.

Li Hao looked at so many places in a row, and he also felt that it was not normal: "That's right, why are all the things there, if you leave normally, you should always bring clothes and quilts." ”

Bai Yujing thought for a while, and felt that there were too many things that were wrong: "If they left in a hurry at that time, even if there was some critical situation at that time, why didn't they come back later and take the things away?"

Li Hao said: "It may be that there is danger in the village, and they dare not come back. ”

Bai Yujing nodded, thinking that what Li Hao said was right: "But it may also be another situation." ”

"What's the situation?"

"The villagers all died overnight. ”

After Bai Yujing finished speaking, the conversation between the two came to an abrupt end, in such a remote deserted village, suddenly talking about this kind of topic, no matter who it was, it felt a little infiltrating, Li Hao was a little panicked in his heart, and said with a dry mouth: "No!"

"I'm talking nonsense, how is it possible, if that's the case, we will find the body, it's obvious here, basically no one has been here since the villagers left, so my latter statement is not valid. Bai Yujing laughed.

Li Hao looked at Bai Yujing a little speechlessly, at this time the phone rang, Li Hao looked at the phone number, his expression was solemn, and said to Bai Yujing: "You wait for me, I'll go out and answer the phone." ”

Bai Yujing turned to the backyard, and was suddenly stunned, a well appeared in his eyes, and the strange creature hunter system in his mind was sounding an alarm, Bai Yujing immediately remembered what Professor Qiu Shanqin Qiu had said to him before.

"Isn't this the symbol of the original water source village, where every well is dug very deep, and every house has an old well, and the ancient well is engraved with this kind of sign. ”

Bai Yujing immediately walked over and squatted down, and saw that the side of the well really had an imprint exactly the same as on Li Hao's ankle, Bai Yujing groped along the well, and found nothing other than this imprint.

Bai Yujing took a look at the well, the water level in it was very high, less than two or three meters away from the well, he saw the water, the well water was clear, and two blisters appeared from time to time, but Bai Yujing had a question: "How does Professor Qiu know that the well here is dug very deep, and this can't be seen at all? Could it be that the villagers told him? The water resources here are abundant, and the water can be drilled down ten or twenty meters, right, how deep is it necessary?"

At this time, Li Hao also walked in, gradually approached and squatted in front of Bai Yujing, Bai Yujing didn't look back, and looked down at the well: "Confirmed?"

Li Hao nodded, and breathed a long sigh of relief: "Forget it, it's a big deal not to be a person, I suddenly found out that I am the protagonist, aren't the protagonists in TV all people with magical blood and life experience like me? But I don't want to die young yet, the people I found told me that this kind of genetic problem is fundamentally unsolvable, and now I can only rely on you." ”

Bai Yujing turned around and said: "I said that I would help to the end, but my words still count, you see this mark." ”

Li Hao turned his head and looked at it: "Isn't this the same as the one on my feet?"

Bai Yujing stood up and patted the dust on his hands: "Let's go to other places to take a look, if there is an underwater detector in the back, let's put it down and take a look, I suspect there is something under the well!"

The two of them turned around in this village again, the village is not big, but there are many buildings, and every household is connected together, so the sense of space is particularly large, and it feels like this continuous small alley is not finished, when walking, Bai Yujing found that the ring imprint can be seen in many places in the village, and there are new discoveries from time to time.

I walked to the center of the village, which was the common ground of the whole village, a large square, in the center of which there was a very large well, and on the other side was a large banyan tree, but it was dead at the moment.

Bai Yujing immediately recognized it after taking a look, the photo frame found in Lin Ruoqiao's room before, isn't the scene of the photo in it here, I thought it was a courtyard before, but I didn't expect it to be the square in the center of the village.

The woman in the photo is standing under the dead banyan tree to take a photo, but that was more than ten years ago, Bai Yujing looked at the dead tree, when Bai Yujing approached the tree, the alarm sounded loudly, it seems that there is a problem here.

Bai Yujing's palm rubbed around the dead tree, knocking and beating from time to time, and then there was a fist-sized hole in the top of the tree below.

Bai Yujing immediately called Li Hao over: "You sit on my shoulder, stuff your hands into that tree hole, and see if there is anything." ”

Li Hao immediately shrank his body: "Why should I go to explore there, what if there are insects or snakes in it?"

"Your snake lives in a tree!"

"I don't do it anyway!"

Bai Yujing had no choice: "Then you squat down, I'll go up!"

Bai Yujing sat on Li Hao's shoulder, just level with this tree hole, Bai Yujing took a look, the tree hole was very deep, just enough to accommodate one hand to reach in, it was pitch black inside, and it was impossible to see the situation inside with a mobile phone light.

Bai Yujing put a stick in, probed a few times, and dug it for a long time, and found that there was nothing in it, there was no way, so he could only slowly put his hand in, Li Hao watched Bai Yujing's movements below, and his mood was also nervous.

After Bai Yujing put his hand in, he kept groping along the cave wall, and finally reached the deepest part and touched something, Bai Yujing was overjoyed, and then let out a scream.

"Ahhh!!!h

Li Hao was taken aback, "What's the matter, Lao Bai, Lao Bai, are you okay!"

Li Hao immediately grabbed Bai Yujing's legs and pushed them back, brought Bai Yujing out, and immediately carried Bai Yujing's body crookedly, "Don't don't, steady, I'll scare you!"

It was already late when he said this, Li Hao hurriedly retreated, and the two of them fell to the ground together, falling firmly, especially Bai Yujing, who stood tall and fell hard, feeling that his whole body was falling apart.

Li Hao sat up and watched Bai Yujing struggling on the ground angrily: "There's something wrong, I thought you had fallen into some trap." ”

Bai Yujing sat up after a long time: "Just kidding, who told you not to explore that tree hole, I took the risk, I just want to scare you!"

"Stop talking, what do you have in your hand?"
