Song Jian pursed his lips and said, "That's also a stingy big man." ”

Orchid chuckled.

After Song Jian's commotion, the atmosphere in the car became warm again, and those ethnic minorities who were riding in the car kept muttering, Song Jian didn't understand it anyway, he simply didn't listen, he looked out the window, thinking about the task of this trip.

I don't know if Zhou Tong is in danger now, and I don't know where Ling Su and Scud went, when they arrived in this Xiangxi land, Song Jian suddenly felt like he was back in the Great Song Dynasty, there was no network and no communication, but fortunately, the current car is faster than the original horse.

For more than an hour, the minibus slowly stopped.

Song Jian and Orchid got out of the car.

There are a few lights in the distance, there is Luxi Town, and beyond Luxi Town, there are thirteen mountain villages, which together form the scope of Luxi Town. Being here is like traveling back in time to 20 years ago.

Orchid's left hand gently tugged at Song Jian's sleeve, which made her feel very safe, looking ahead, Orchid took a long breath, and said: "Ximei Village over there is where our hometown is located, but it's late now, let's stay in the town for the night, and let's go again tomorrow." ”

Song Jian thought for a while and said, "Let's go today, maybe I can meet Zhou Tong and them at night." ”

Song Jian was unwilling to wait any longer, although Zhou Tong had taken the pill he had refined, and he was already a martial artist of the Inner Qi Realm, but Zhou Tong's experience was far behind, in this kind of remote mountain village, if he encountered a treacherous person, it was easy to fall behind.

Orchid looked at the black-lit mountain village in the distance, and couldn't help but be a little timid. Whispered: "Night...... It's dangerous at night. ”

Song Jian smiled at the orchid and said, "Have you forgotten, I'm a big man." ”

Orchid also laughed, she was already in college, what else was there to be afraid of walking at night, besides, although there were such and such terrifying legends circulating here before, but those were just legends after all, could there really be any zombies and ghosts.

Thinking of this, Orchid nodded and smiled: "Okay, let's go at night." Go to my hometown. ”

Song Jian snorted. The two of them felt the darkness and walked in the direction of Ximei Village.

The mountain trail is difficult, but fortunately the moonlight is abundant.

An hour later, the two of them had arrived outside Ximei Village, and they didn't meet anyone along the way. Don't say it's human. Not even the dog touched. There was no barking from the dogs.

After entering Ximei Village, Orchid looked left and right, and then arrived at the east end of the village. Pointing to a brick building, he said, "This is it, this is my uncle's house." ”

Song Jian looked at the entire village and said, "Is your uncle's family a landlord?" The whole village is the best in his house. ”

Orchid just smiled and said: "Actually, it's not, you know, after our family moved to Phoenix, we did some small business, and the family conditions were not bad, so we funded the uncle with some money, oh, the uncle's family built the second best home in the village, in the middle of the village, there is a big ancestral hall, which is the best building in the whole village, every festival, our entire village Tujia people have to go there to worship their ancestors, and there are some other ceremonies." ”

Orchid said as she reached the gate and banged on the door.

However, the people in the house did not immediately come out and open the door.

Orchid knew that Uncle was scared, and shouted, "Uncle, it's me, Orchid, who has come to see you." ”

After the orchid shouted this, there was a sound of footsteps inside the door, and then there was a creak, and the door opened a crack, and an old man inside looked at the orchid for a while, then opened the door and said, "Orchid? Is it really you? Oh, you said you, why did you come here in the middle of the night, hurry, hurry up and come into the house. ”

Orchid and Song Jian entered the gate together.

The old man quickly locked the door, then asked his daughter-in-law to light a candle, and enthusiastically pulled the orchid into the hall.

There are only two old people in this family, and their children have gone out to work, and generally not many young people are willing to stay in this kind of place, after all, they are used to seeing the colorful world outside, and few people can endure the hardships of life in this place.

On the candle lighting, Orchid introduced Song Jian, and then talked to his uncle.

"Ouch, I haven't seen you for seven years, you have become such a beautiful big girl," the old man grinned.

After Orchid chatted with the old man about the past, Orchid asked, "Uncle, what's wrong with us here?" Why didn't you open the door after I knocked on it for so long? By the way, I'm here this time to imagine you asking a few people. ”

The old man glanced at Song Jian and said in a low voice, "I was about to tell you about this, do you know that now the corpse chaser has appeared again!" It's very dangerous for you to walk on the mountain road at night like this, in case you encounter a corpse team, how can I explain to your parents. After dark, you can't run around, who are you going to ask? ”

Orchid was puzzled for a moment, and said: "It's a group of Han people, they should be a film crew, a few days ago, they came to us to look for materials for Xiangxi to drive corpses." ”

Hearing this, the old man's mouth opened in surprise, and he said, "Ouch, these Han people, they are really evil, can those Miao corpse teams also be interviewed?" Hey......"

"What the hell is going on? Uncle, there really is ...... Zombies? Orchid was also a little suspicious.

The old man waved his hand and said, "Sleep, sleep, I'll talk about it tomorrow, by the way, have you two eaten?" ”

Orchid patted her stomach, "Not yet, I've been hungry all night." ”

The old man smiled and asked his wife to prepare food.

Zhang Feng couldn't understand what the two of them were talking about, he just sat silently, and not long after, a few dishes were served, all of which were wild vegetables that the Tujia family usually eats, as well as pickled fish sauce, but the fish sauce was already stinky, more stinky than stinky tofu, Song Jian cried with a sad face, and didn't know how to refuse.

Seeing Song Jian's embarrassment, Orchid chuckled and said, "Didn't you say you were a big shot?" Are you also scared of eating some stinky fish sauce? ”

Song Jian said helplessly: "This ...... It seems to really stink. ”

"Actually, it's delicious," said Orchid, eating a little herself, "you can taste it, it's not delicious and vomit." ”

Song Jian raised his chopsticks, dipped them a little, and put them in his mouth.

Orchid's uncle laughed when he saw Song Jian's embarrassed look.

Song Jian ate a little, and suddenly found that this stinky fish sauce really has a unique flavor, just like Gusu's stinky tofu, it smells disgusting, but it tastes like saliva is wild, this stinky fish sauce tastes good, the aftertaste is very long, fragrant, spicy, numb, and all kinds of flavors.

"Well, it's really good," Song Jian's eyes lit up and he said.

The old man saw that Song Jian liked it, and said: "If you like it, eat more, when you go back, bring a little, we are pickled at home, clean." ”

Orchid on the side translated his uncle's words to Song Jian, Song Jian hurriedly thanked him, and then said to Orchid with a smile: "Why is your uncle so good to me?" I don't think we're a young couple. ”

"And, you," Orchid ate, no longer answering.

After eating a little full, there was a sudden sound of slight footsteps outside, and the footsteps were occasionally mixed with a faint gong.

Uncle Orchid's face changed drastically, and he whispered, "Don't speak," and then he popped and blew out the candle.

Song Jian stood up abruptly and said to Orchid, "I'll go and see, this should be the corpse team." ”

"I'll go too," Orchid didn't know where the courage came from, stood up and grabbed Song Jian's hand, although she has lived here since she was a child, she has also heard a lot of legends about Xiangxi's corpses, and after arriving at university, she has watched a lot of ghost movies about Xiangxi's corpses, but the more this is the case, the more Orchid wants to figure it all out.

However, if there was no Song Jian, Orchid must have been very scared, and she would definitely not dare to run out to "see ghosts" in the middle of the night.

But holding Song Jian's hand at this moment, Orchid felt that in fact, all this was not terrible, but very romantic, maybe it could really reveal the secret of Xiangxi's corpse.

"You two little cubs don't want to live anymore!" The old man pulled Song Jian and the orchid.

Song Jian glanced at the orchid and said, "Why don't you stay." ”

Orchid was very stubborn this time, "No, I must go and see, aren't you a big man?" Follow you, I'm not afraid. ”

The old man couldn't stop it, so he could only let Song Jian and Orchid leave.

Song Jian and Orchid walked out of the gate, slowed their steps, and walked quickly towards the outside of the village.

It is said that the reason why the corpse can only appear in the area of Xiangxi has a lot to do with the folk customs of Xiangxi, in this place of Xiangxi, there are mountain roads outside, and at night, these mountain roads will be walked by the people who drive the corpses. The caravan will not enter the village, as it is unlucky. Moreover, in Xiangxi, at night, dogs are not allowed to bark, because they will disturb the corpse and cause the corpse to change. Of course, there are other reasons, such as these corpse chasers want to stay in the hotel to rest, so they can only live in the Dead Corpse Inn, and the Dead Corpse Inn is only available in Xiangxi.

In any case, this legend is becoming more and more mysterious, coupled with the circulation of Lin Zhengying's zombie series of movies, countless people are fascinated by this industry.

Song Jian and Orchid followed the sound and groped their way.

About 700 meters out of the village, there is a mountain road, and there are trees on both sides of the mountain road.

Orchid's fingers tightened suddenly, and she grabbed Song Jian's arm with both hands, never letting go.

Song Jian patted Orchid's back and whispered a sigh, and then he looked intently towards the mountain road.

At the top of the mountain path was a man carrying a gong, wearing a blue robe and a strip of cloth around his waist, and behind the man were three corpses dressed in black linen, with high hats with yellow rune paper pressed under the hats, and zigzag symbols painted on their bodies.

These three are indeed corpses.

Song Jian was stunned for a moment, he could almost ask about the smell of corpses coming from these three corpses, he frowned, but since it was a corpse, how did it walk the aisle? These three corpses are not like in the movie, jumping and jumping, these three corpses walk with their legs apart, but their legs are not bent, and they walk like wood.

The more Orchid looked at it, the more frightened she became, and in the end, her whole body was attached to Song Jian's body, gritting her teeth and not letting herself make a sound.

Song Jian quietly observed and thought for a while, until the team walked away, Song Jian said, "Let's go, go to the Dead Corpse Inn and have a look." (To be continued.) )
