Relatives' house.

The elders had drunk a lot, and now they were all drunk and unable to fall asleep.

Entertaining them was the groom's sister, Jiaojiao.

The house built by relatives for the groom is behind this house, and the younger generation has gone to the cave house, and the old house is much cleaner with only this sister at home.

"Where did you pick up the handsome guy?"

After Xinyi took Jiayu into the door, this Jiaojiao looked at it with interest.

"Uh...... He's my boyfriend. ”

"Hey, you're dressed so formally, but isn't it a little too late to come?"

"He didn't worry that I would drive home alone tomorrow morning, so he rushed over as soon as he got off work."

There is no need to mention Xinyi's car crash to these relatives, so as not to cause trouble.

"Phew! Really thoughtful. So when are you two going to do something? ”

"I'll do it in a moment." Jiayu said angrily.

Xinyi hurriedly poked him with her elbow. …… Can you not talk about such inappropriate things in front of her relatives!

Jiayu's visit was too sudden, there were no extra rooms at the relatives' house, and there were no hotels in the countryside, but the delicate people were really good, she was very happy to let Xinyi squeeze a room with her, and the room originally prepared for Xinyi was given to Jiayu to live.

After borrowing the bathroom, Xinyi came to Jiaojiao's room, where Jiaojiao was lying on the bed and lifting her legs, listening to the ghost stories playing on her mobile phone.

"I say Jiaojiao...... Your brother is happy today, but you listen to ghost stories with this...... Not very lucky, right? ”

"It's okay, when my dad was building that house, he put a lot of thought into feng shui, and ghosts couldn't go to him." Jiaojiao said heartlessly.

…… What a good sister.

Xinyi sat on the edge of the bed and listened along. After a while, Jiaojiao turned her head and said, "You're not afraid?" ”

"Okay."

She often deals with ghosts, can see and communicate, and is more immune. Besides, there is really a ghost, and there is Jiayu in the room next to it.

"Oh." Jiaojiao turned off the ghost story, turned over, and leaned next to Xinyi, "Then I'll tell you a horror story." ”

Look at her mysterious face.

"To the northeast of this village, there is a small hill. If you take the national highway, there is a small fork in the road that leads to that side. At the bottom of the hill, there is an abandoned house, which has been uninhabited for more than ten years, if not decades. ”

Is that the rumor that the house haunted next? Xinyi thought.

"Rumor has it that the owner of the house died suddenly, and they had no relatives or friends, and they never interacted with the nearby villages, so no one came to bury the owner's body. But in this era when every inch of land is at a premium, it is too wasteful to have abandoned houses that have been unused for many years -- so a big boss came up with the idea of that house, and he took a lot of workers to the house to see whether it was better to rebuild it or tear it down and rebuild it.

"More than ten years have passed, even if the owner's body is still there, it is still a white bone. In order not to incur the resentment of the owner's undead, those people were also looking for the master's body when tidying up the house, thinking about burying the master.

"But...... They turned the house upside down, but they couldn't find the owner's body. ”

Jiaojiao doesn't know how many times she has told this story, but she still can't suppress her excitement as if it was the first time she told it to others.

Xinyi was also very cooperative with her, and asked nervously, "And then?" ”

Jiaojiao was very satisfied with the enthusiasm of the audience, and continued: "Just when everyone was wondering, on the hill behind the house, suddenly there was an exclamation from a worker!

"They rushed to the small hill, and the little hill was full of graves! The towering tombstones resemble the eyes of the devil and give them the creeps. When a worker saw the words on the tombstone, he was even more frightened! The name of the master is engraved on the stele, but what scares the workers is the carved knife worker. The marks were exactly like they were scratched with their claws!

Then a strange wind blew on the hill, and they were so frightened that they ran away one by one. However...... However, no one was able to leave the ruined house. Shortly after their disappearance, some villagers looked through the hill with binoculars, and the number of graves on it increased. ”

Jiaojiao deliberately darkened her expression and approached Xinyi's face to create a terrifying effect.

"That abandoned house became a murderous house. And the people who go to that house are ~will~die~"

“…… It doesn't seem to be too scary. ”

Jiaojiao "cut", "But the dead man's thing is true." ”

"Didn't call the police?"

"The people here don't do anything superfluous! What if you incur the resentment of the undead? ”

...... of the Undead Resentment......

This night, Xinyi didn't sleep well. She kept thinking about the story Jiaojiao told. And also...... The ghost who saved her.

Early the next morning, pulling a basket of vegetables, Jiayu and Xinyi drove on the way home.

The elders are still hungover, and only Jiaojiao comes to see them off. Jiaojiao, who couldn't help it, brought a basket of vegetables that her family cultivated and was ready to sell at the market and put them in the trunk of the car as a thank you gift for Xinyi's wedding from afar.

Jiaojiao herself said that they only have the advantage of fertile water and soil, and many things are suitable for growing here, and the crops grown are fresher than those in other places.

Xinyi was silent all the way. Jiayu couldn't stand the quiet atmosphere, so he asked, "Why don't you speak?" "Do you think he's still angry with her, so he doesn't dare to speak?

"I'm thinking about things, Jiaojiao told me a story yesterday, and I'm very concerned."

"What's the story?"

Xinyi retold the content of the horror story to Jiayu.

"Do you think it's an evil spirit?"

"Not necessarily." Jiayu said, "There are still some places that don't make sense. First of all, if no one who entered the abandoned house could come back alive, then how did this story come about? Secondly, even if it is an evil spirit, it has caused so many lives, and the underworld will not let it sit idly by for so many years, and it will definitely offer a reward for wanted. But I have never seen such a wanted warrant in the book of life and death. ”

Xinyi stopped talking again, her eyes fell blankly outside the window, and she looked at the scenery passing by outside. Jiayu, who was in charge of driving, glanced at Xinyi beside him from time to time, and her condition made him a little worried.

After moving forward for a while, Xinyi, who was stunned by the neck pillow, suddenly sat up straight, leaned on the window with her hands, and shouted: "Stop!" ”

Jiayu quickly stopped to the right. "What's wrong?"

Xinyi pointed out the window, "That's the hill!" The hill that Jiaojiao said! ”

Next to the national highway was a small dirt road that stretched horizontally, and she was convinced that this was the hill that Jiaojiao was talking about. The road was just wide enough for their cars to pass through.

"Why do you care so much about this story?"

"I always felt like something was really going on there, and that's a woman's instinct."

A woman's intuition, although it doesn't make sense, is sometimes quite accurate. My aunt said the same thing.

Jiayu drove to the vicinity of the hill, found an open grass to turn off the car, and then walked to find the rumored abandoned house.

Lady Luck didn't leave them, and it wasn't long before they found the ruined mansion at the bottom of the hill.

It is a small, modestly designed villa, only two storeys high, with a striking red brick wall. The courtyard is barren and grassy, and they are the only living beings in this dead house.

The iron fences and gates surrounding the courtyard have long been corroded by time, and are more fragile than crisps. As soon as Xinyi's hand touched lightly, the iron door fell, breaking the dead silence.

"Xinyi, don't mess around."

Jiayu hurriedly grabbed her. From the moment I started, I smelled a strange fragrance. Jiayu's gaze fell on these lush weeds, a species that had never been seen before, with small pale yellow flowers blooming on them.

There was no sign of the grass being trampled on, and the closed doors of the villa showed no signs of being opened.

This does not match the situation of the story told by Jiaojiao. If you are carrying out renovation or demolition with workers, even if you have awe for the owner's home, there will be at least some traces of movement.

For some reason, Jiayu always had a sense of foreboding.

Jiayu ...... How about we go in and see? ”

Faced with such a house, the curiosity in Xinyi's heart was completely aroused, as if she was full of excitement to explore the unknown, and she was about to forget that this was the place where the murder was rumored to have occurred.

She took Jiayu's hand with one hand, and walked to the gate with the other. The door was unlocked, it opened outward, and she didn't have much effort to pull it open.

A musty smell came to their noses, and the two covered their noses and slowly groped into the room.

The room was covered in cobwebs, and the wooden floor was covered with a thick layer of dust. Old and broken furniture is scattered across the small space, with obvious scratches on the sides. The incandescent light bulb on the roof also shattered a hole, and the horn-shaped lampshade was crooked on the side, apparently caused by a blunt object.

Although Xinyi is not claustrophobic, she still has some rejection of such an environment.

The power supply to the house had long been cut off, and when they went to a darker place, they could only use their mobile phones to bring their own flashlights to illuminate them.

Then, in the room, they found old blood stains, frozen on the floor, furniture, and long since turned dark black.

Xinyi stopped, frozen in place, her body trembling.

“…… Excellent...... Jiayu, blood ......! That said, the story ......! ”

"I'm here, don't be afraid."

With the warmth of encouragement coming from her palm, Xinyi endured the fear and wavering in her heart, took Jiayu's hand back, and followed him to investigate this strange room.

Jiayu found a black notebook in the corner, patted off the dust on it, and wrote "Edible Herbal Medicine Research and Observation Diary" in a pen on the title page, the contents of which were recorded in pencil, scribbled and altered, and there were some notes, and there were obvious traces of repeated reading. Unfortunately, most of the handwriting inside is now unlegible.

Jiayu temporarily let go of Xinyi's hand for the convenience of flipping through, and Xinyi immediately hugged Jiayu from behind and buried her head on his back, "Jiayu, don't let go of your hand, I'm afraid of ......"

Jiayu had no choice but to put the notes on the table next to her, take her hand, and start investigating other places.

They found bloodstained blunt objects in the kitchen, neatly placed on the cupboards. While all the rooms are messy by fighting, only this kitchen is relatively tidy, but there is no sign of being used.

It's kind of weird.

Jiayu tried to twist the faucet, but the inside was rusty and could not be twisted at all.

"Jiayu, it's better not to leave your fingerprints......"

The only thing that can still have a trace of calmness in the chaotic brain is out of a sense of protection for Jiayu.

She felt that if the police came here to investigate and took Jiayu's fingerprints in the future, it would only make Jiayu fall into an embarrassing situation of unclearness.

Jiayu threw a warm smile and said to her, "Do you have the courage to follow me to the hills?" ”

On the hill, there are neatly arranged tombs.

Only the first few graves have tombstones standing on them, and the inscriptions have long been corroded by the rain and cannot be seen realistically.

Jiayu crouched down, checking the traces of the dirt.

Xinyi's legs are trembling, the acid water in her stomach is tumbling, and she can vomit it at any time!

When Jiayu examined the second tombstone, she finally fell to the side and threw up.

All she spit out was sour water, and this retching made her even more uncomfortable.

Jiayu gently stroked her back, "Are you okay?" ”

At this time, Jiayu didn't say the words "you have to come".

He has always been tolerant and gentle towards her.

They didn't bring handkerchiefs or tissues, and he wiped the acid from her mouth with the sleeve of his expensive suit.

“…… You check...... What did you find......"

"The methods of the graves are all from the same person. …… It's even growing here. ”

The whole hill has the same grass as the courtyard, and it is larger than the branches and leaves in the courtyard. The pale yellow stamens are quietly open.

Xinyi's face became more and more pale. Jiayu asked her to stand on the ventilated hill, and then went to inspect the grave herself.

A sense of vertigo eroded her.

There is a strange fragrance in the wind.

The field of vision becomes more and more blurry.

“…… Excellent...... Jiayu ......"

It's also becoming more and more difficult to make sounds.

"Xinyi?"

She squeezed out a smile to reassure him, and Jiayu turned her head. But at this moment, her smile also froze on her face.

Soon, the smile was replaced by fear.

"Ahh

Turned around Jiayu...... His head...... It's a skeleton......

From the grave, a lot of white bones crawled out, and they were constantly approaching her.

"Xinyi!"

"Don't come here!!" Xinyi screamed.

Xinyi's steps were a little staggering, and the scene in front of her had a big impact on both her body and her spirit. Xinyi broke free from her grip in horror and kept backing away.

"Danger, Xinyi—!"

There was a cold touch behind her, and something held her back. Immediately after, a calm and clear voice sounded behind the ear:

"Stun her."
