Story 26: The Ghost Village (5)
Liu Gang finally weighed the pros and cons, and finally chose to stay in this nameless village for the time being tonight, to see what the situation would be tomorrow, and then decide on everyone's going to stay, maybe the people in the village just went out because of everything, and they might come back tomorrow morning.
Since they chose to stay in this village for the night, the question arises again, do you live in your own tents? Or do you live in a villager's house?
Ah Wait's personality was a bit arrogant, and he felt that since everyone had arrived in the village, he should live in the house, and when the master returned, he would give them some money.
But Zhiming felt that it was inappropriate, and it was definitely not okay to live in it without asking if people agreed, Liu Gang and Chunjiao also agreed with Zhiming's words, so three to one, the last four people were still the same as last night, in the open space in the village, that is, next to the truck, set up tents, ready to rest.
Liu Gang looked at this village where there was no one, and felt a little uneasy in his heart, this time, for safety, in addition to Chunjiao, he arranged for the other two to take turns on duty at night to prevent anything from happening in the middle of the night.
Anything happened in the first half of the night, the tent was very quiet all around, Ah waited in the tent and snored, crying ghosts and gods, Chunjiao also fell asleep, this time was Liu Gang vigil outside, but Zhiming in the tent couldn't sleep, he vaguely had a bad premonition.
Suddenly, the small village that was as quiet as death just now, it would suddenly become lively, and in a trance, Zhiming felt that there were many people walking outside the tent, but when he thought of Liu Gang guarding outside, if there was something, he would definitely call everyone, so Zhiming still didn't hold on and fell asleep.
Suddenly, Zhiming woke up from his dream suddenly, his head hurt a little, maybe he slept too late last night, he glanced outside the tent, it was dawn, Zhiming should be the third vigil, he had been waiting for Liu Gang to call himself, and he was waiting to fall asleep.
But now that it's dawn, why didn't Liu Gang wake himself up?
Zhiming saw that Chunjiao was still sleeping, so he didn't alarm her, but he crawled out of the tent slowly, and then called in a low voice: "Gangzi? Gangzi? ”
I don't know when the fire outside the tent was extinguished, Zhiming saw that Liu Gang's shadow was not seen outside the tent at all, could it be that he went back to the tent to sleep, but why didn't he wake himself up?
Forget it, Zhiming still lit the fire first, and after everyone got up after a while, they could bake the fire first to keep warm.
After a while, Ah Wait climbed out of the tent where he was sleeping, and when Zhiming saw Ah Wait come out, he asked him, "Gangzi is still sleeping?" ”
Ah Wait glanced at Zhiming suspiciously and said, "I just looked at Gangzi's sleeping bag, he shouldn't have gone back to sleep in the tent all night, so I climbed out to take a look." ”
"What?" Zhiming was anxious when he heard it, Gangzi didn't go back to the tent to sleep, but there was no one outside the tent!
They hurriedly woke up Chunjiao, who was still sleeping, and the three of them searched nearby for a long time, but there was no shadow of Liu Gang at all.
"Is it possible that Gangzi went to the villagers' houses to find food?" Chunjiao calmly analyzed.
When Zhiming and Ah Wait heard this, they both felt that this was very likely, so the three of them went door to door to look for people together, but they found the end of the village from the head of the village, and they didn't see Liu Gang's figure.
There is a little bit of hair in the hearts of the three people, yesterday when they came, every household was cooking, but there was no one in the house, just now when they were looking for Liu Gang, they walked through all the houses, and found that the fire was still rising in the stove, and the rice was still cooking in the pot, just like when they first came, exactly the same, it was terrifying.
The three of them shouted Liu Gang's name and searched for a long time in the village, and finally all three of them were a little tired, so they sat on a big bluestone to rest.
"What to do? The most experienced Gangzi is gone, just the three of us, we will definitely not be able to find him! Ah said anxiously.
Zhiming was still calm, "I don't believe that Gangzi will disappear for no reason, we must find him, along the way, he is taking care of us, and now that he has an accident, we can't ignore him!" ”
Chunjiao glanced at her phone, but there was still no signal, "If only I could call for help." ”
Suddenly, Zhiming remembered that last night, he seemed to feel a lot of people walking outside the tent, at that time he thought it was a dream, but now he thinks that maybe there were really people outside at that time.
The three of them quickly returned to the front of the tent, and looked carefully at the ground around the tent, and there were many, many footprints near the tent......
Zhiming found that these footprints were all going in the same direction, maybe Liu Gang also went in that direction? So the three of them followed the footprints all the way up the hill behind the village.
Looking at the shape of this mountain, it should be the Mantou Mountain they have been looking for, and along the footprints that have been moving forward, they actually walked to the front of a cave.
The cave is a bit like it was dug by hand, and the entrance is very neat, and the wind blows out from time to time inside.
The three of them hesitated to go in, looking at the darkness inside, it was a little scary, but thinking that Liu Gang might be inside, they couldn't care so much, anyway, everyone had flashlights with them, so they pulled one by one, and walked in.
As soon as they walked into the cave, the three of them were stunned, thinking that they must not be able to see their fingers inside, but as soon as they entered, they found that there was a light inside.
"It could be Liu Gang!" Ah Wait looked at the light and said.
"It's possible, everyone be careful, see the road clearly before leaving." Zhiming instructed them.
The three of them walked towards the light with one foot deep and one foot shallow, but as they walked, Zhiming found that something was not quite right! Because there were more lights in front of them, there was only one before, but now there are many out of thin air.
Taking advantage of those lights, Zhiming and the others finally saw the scene in front of them, those lights that kept shaking, were not Liu Gang at all, but villagers with flashlights.
These people didn't know whether they were asleep or awake, anyway, they were all standing one by one, swaying back and forth, the three of them couldn't see the faces of the villagers, and they didn't dare to speak rashly, so they followed behind in fear.
At this time, suddenly Chunjiao felt that her feet slipped and almost fell, so she screamed, but as soon as she spoke, she felt that someone covered her mouth from the side, she knew that Ah and Zhiming were in front of her, so who was the person next to her?
"Don't make a sound, I'm Liu Gang." A familiar voice sounded in Chunjiao's ears.
As soon as Chunjiao heard Liu Gang's voice, the horror just now ran away. She gently pushed Zhiming and Ah Wait in front of her, signaling them to keep quiet, and then pointed behind her.
At this time, Zhiming and Ah waited to see Liu Gang beside Chunjiao clearly, and they were overjoyed, and they just wanted to say that they had finally found you, but as soon as they saw Liu Gang make a silent hand gesture, they immediately swallowed back the words that were close to their mouths.
Then Liu Gang gently pulled the three of them out of the cave.
