The red iron gate is easy to find in Heishui Village, because Wu Hao has walked all the way, and most of the villagers' houses are still earthen houses in the 80s.

Only at the east end of the village, near the location of the village monument, there is a tiled house courtyard, and the bright red gate is very conspicuous.

Wu Hao knocked on the door.

There was a shout from the courtyard, and the gate creaked open.

"Who?" The one who opened the door was a slightly chubby and slightly black woman, who should be Chen Dagang's wife. She saw a young man standing at the door, who looked cleanly dressed and not from the village, and the woman asked, "Who are you looking for?" ”

"Hello, is Village Chief Chen at home? I talked to him about the land contract. Wu Hao asked.

When the woman heard this, her eyes lit up, and she could tell from the words that the young man in front of her might be a local tyrant.

"Lao Chen, someone is looking for you." The woman shouted into the courtyard, and then beckoned to Wu Hao and said, "Come, enter the courtyard and say." ”

Chen Dagang is in his forties, with a lot of hair, black and thin.

Seeing Wu Hao enter the house, and hearing his daughter-in-law say that he wanted to contract land, he immediately greeted him with a smile. Because Heishui Village is located in the vertical and horizontal mountains, the transportation is particularly inconvenient, and the economy is backward, so someone can come here to contract land, which is equivalent to increasing the income of Heishui Village, and Chen Dagang is of course happy.

"Hello, I'm the village chief Chen Dagang!" Chen Dagang and Wu Hao shook hands and spoke standard Mandarin.

"Hello!" Wu Hao and Chen Dagang shook hands.

Wu Hao briefly explained the intention, and then, drinking Liangbai Kai and waiting for Village Chief Chen to speak.

Chen Dagang gave Wu Hao a cigarette, lit one for himself, took a puff, frowned and began to think about it.

His black and fat daughter-in-law sat on the wooden bench at the door, glared at Chen Dagang, and urged: "If the island in the middle of the lake is useless, you can contract it to others!" ”

"Why do you talk so much!" Chen Dagang frowned and reprimanded.

The black fat daughter-in-law glanced at each other, got up and walked away.

Chen Dagang finished smoking a cigarette, then frowned, and said to Wu Hao seriously: "You can rent another place, but that island in the middle of the lake ...... I advise you not to rent. ”

"Why?" Wu Hao was stunned, what does this mean? Listening to Chen Dagang's daughter-in-law, isn't the island in the middle of the lake useless? Finally, there is one who wants to contract, why should the village chief refuse?

"Alas, I am speaking according to my conscience, for your own good!" Chen Dagang sighed, his brows furrowed directly into a Sichuan character.

Wu Hao stroked his forehead and said seriously: "Village Chief Chen, I came this time just to contract that island in the middle of the lake, and other places do not meet my requirements." ”

"Brother Wu, when did you enter the village?" Chen Dagang seemed to suddenly think of something, and hurriedly asked.

Wu Hao grinned, this village chief Chen Dagang didn't answer his words, why did he ask such an inexplicable sentence instead?

"I arrived here at eight or nine o'clock last night and spent the night at an uncle's house in the west of the village." Wu Hao replied.

"That must be Old Chen's family." Chen Dagang looked at Wu Hao in surprise, and then said, "You should have heard about the haunting of our Heishui Village, right?" ”

Wu Hao's heart moved, and he stroked his forehead: "I heard about it." ”

Chen Dagang glanced at Wu Hao again in surprise and asked, "Then you still have to contract land in Heishui Village?" Aren't you afraid? ”

Wu Hao grinned, simply from these few words, he had roughly understood Chen Dagang.

It stands to reason that as the head of a village like Heishui Village, there can be a person who comes from outside to contract land, and he will definitely be able to close his mouth happily. However, Chen Dagang explained the haunting of the village at the beginning, obviously following his conscience and not wanting to regret it after Wu Hao contracted the land.

"It's a good village chief...... Wu Hao said in his heart, he smiled lightly and said to Chen Dagang: "I'm a big guy, what are you afraid of?" Besides, I never believed in this weird thing. ”

"That's right." Chen Dagang lit another cigarette and said, "Believe it or not, the island in the middle of the lake is the most haunted place, and you will really regret contracting that island." ”

Wu Hao smiled faintly, listening to Chen Dagang's meaning, this village is really haunted. It's a pity that if someone else had come to contract the land today, they might have really given up the plan to contract. However, it was Wu Hao who came today, and what he was most afraid of was the haunting.

"Village Chief Chen, you have to believe in science!" Wu Hao flickered seriously while planning, he really contracted the island in the middle of the lake! There is such a thing as a haunting, and most of the villagers in this village dare not approach the island in the middle of the lake, and his farm plans are much more secretive.

Chen Dagang shook his head, and he had the feeling of playing the piano to the cow. If he really contracted the haunted island in the middle of the lake to someone like this, although he made money for the village, he couldn't get over it in his heart.

So, he thought about it for a while and began to tell Wu Hao about the haunting of Heishui Village.

So it's a morning.

After listening to the village chief Chen Dagang, Wu Hao was more confident.

In fact, there was nothing unusual in Blackwater Village ten years ago. Although the village is poor, the villagers can grow vegetables and fish in the lake, but they can also support themselves.

However, one night ten years ago, a heavy rainstorm caused a huge mudslide to crash down the vertical and horizontal mountains to the west of the village, and finally piled up all of them into the thousand-acre lake.

At first, the incident did not cause any trouble, after all, the mudslide washed into the lake and did not affect the villagers.

However, on the fifteenth of that month, the sun had just set, and the wind suddenly rose in Heishui Village, and the chickens, ducks, and dogs in the whole village were all barking and running wildly. The villagers didn't think much of it until the next day they found out that most of the chickens, ducks, and dogs in the village were dead! Even, a bachelor old man in the village was crazy, and he didn't say that he had seen a ghost.

The people in the village were only skeptical, but the next day, all the chickens, ducks, and dogs in the village died! Moreover, all of them were incontinent before they died. From then on, the bachelor old man began to become silent, and no matter who spoke to him, he didn't care, like he had become a mute.

In the next few days, strange things happened in the village one after another.

For example, whose child suddenly screams and wakes up crying in the middle of the night, or who sees a white shadow when he goes to the toilet at night......

Another day, a villager because he had not caught fish for a day, in a hurry, after the sun went down, he was still fishing in Qianmu Lake, and finally he saw a scene that he will never forget - a black shadow flew out from the position of the island in the middle of the lake, and the wind swept the waves away with the black shadow.

Since then, all the villagers of Blackwater Village have believed in haunted things.

Moreover, for unknown reasons, all the children in the village who were less than 18 years old were getting weaker day by day, but the cause could not be found. However, as long as you leave Blackwater Village and go to other places for a while, your body will recover quickly.

As a result, the villagers were terrified all day long, the village became more and more declining, and the young people all left Heishui Village, and there were fewer and fewer people.
