Chapter 18: Night in the Graveyard

Before Qin Ge talked about the Sleeping Mountain Villa in Jiangnan, he had already seen the Sleeping Mountain Villa from afar.

The members of the self-guided tour group came to Sleepy Valley for different purposes, but Qin Ge was the only one, like a professional tourist, and he toured around with a camera every day. He made a detailed investigation of the history and current situation of the town. The history of the town can be traced back to the Qianlong period, the prosperous era of Qianlong, but not all the world is singing and dancing. The Beijing official Chen family, because of the offense, became a court official, and his family was assigned to the southwest wilderness. On the way to the official distribution of Jing, surnamed Chen, passing through the area where the Sleepy Valley is located, he suddenly felt a lot of emotion in his heart, and he was disheartened about the career of the world, and he had the idea of being a guest of Mr. Jingjie, so he built a house and opened up a field in the Sleepy Valley area, and was a field scatterer until he died of old age.

The original name of Sleeping Valley was called Wumi Village, and I think it was the meaning of the Chen surname Jingguan taking Tao Yuanming's Wudoumi County Order.

The buildings in the town are mostly made of local materials, using large blocks of stone and wood, so the houses are particularly sturdy and can last for hundreds of years. Usually the dwellings are two-storey structures, the bottom of the floor is made of stone, and the second floor is made of wood, the wide eaves protrude, and the eaves are densely covered with gray tiles. Some people's wooden houses on the second floor also protrude from the wall on the ground floor and are supported by several wooden pillars to form a unique stilted room. The eaves and the protruding stilted houses are far above the streets and alleys, and they are within reach.

On both sides of the town, there is a relatively soothing mountainous area, in addition to a large area of grapes, there are also rice and vegetables, rice and vegetables are not planted in a large area, but enough for the town people to eat for a year. The most distinctive feature of the mountain is the vineyards, which are densely lined up all over the mountain, and the height is staggered, and it is lush and green at a glance. If the sun sets like blood, the whole vineyard will be shrouded in a layer of golden light, like a rainbow of clouds.

The mountain west of the river is slightly lower, and when you climb over a hillside, you can see a round building covering an area of about 10 hectares in the low depression of the slope, which looks like an alien flying saucer when viewed from a high place. The round building wall is more than 10 meters high, all of which are made of large stones, and there are ring-shaped eaves on the top. Standing on a high place, you can see that there is another inner ring in the building, and there is an open space in the middle, and a few people walk around in that open space.

That was the Sleeping Mountain Villa that Jiangnan later talked about.

Before Qin Ge heard Jiang Nan talk about the Sleeping Mountain Villa, he seemed to be quite afraid of it, so for several days in a row, he observed it from a distance, and never approached it within a radius of 100 meters. At the height of the mountain, you can see that the mountain villa is unusually deserted, and there are only a few people walking in a hurry on the huge open space in the village.

There was only one gate in the villa, and for several days, the gate was closed, and no one seemed to enter or leave at all. Qin Ge came to a conclusion from this, the people in this mountain villa were self-sufficient in everything, and they were completely an independent kingdom.

Later, Jiang Nan told everyone about the history and current situation of the Sleeping Mountain Villa, and Qin Ge silently remembered it in his heart. But he deliberately concealed that he had secretly observed the Sleeping Villa from a high place.

——Is there some unknown secret hidden in Qin Ge's heart?

Tang Wan woke up, opened her eyes, and as usual, she was looking for Tan Dong first. Tan Dong and Yi were lying on the edge of the bed, still sleeping soundly. Tang Wan didn't wake him up, and stared at him quietly. Tan Dong's appearance when he was asleep was completely different from when he woke up, with the childishness of an underage child. This morning, Tan Dong slept peacefully, his usually frowning brows were stretched, his face was flushed, his mouth was slightly open, and some saliva slipped out of the corners of his mouth.

Tang Wan smiled, but there was some sourness in her heart.

She remembered that it had been a long time since she had woken up in the morning and seen Tan Dong asleep. Every time he opened his eyes, Tan Dong always sat on the edge of the bed with his eyes open, and his sleepless night made him look sluggish and haggard. He was guarding her, and he wouldn't allow anyone to hurt her. It touched her and her heart ached. She knew that she couldn't do without this man for the rest of her life. This is also the reason why she can put aside all the prosperity in the city and follow Tan Dong to a foreign town, where she can start a new life.

Tan Dong turned over and turned into a body lying on the bed. Tang Wan looked at him with pity and couldn't help but gently caress his cheek. There were some newborn whiskers on it, rubbing hard against her palms.

It's rare to have such a morning when you can quietly watch Tan Dong sleeping soundly. Tang Wan's heart was warm, wrapped in some love. She thought that Tan Dong was really too tired, he had never slept at night since he left the city, and now, he needed to rest well.

The sun was already rising outside, but the sunlight fell on the patio and could not reach the house, but through the window lattice, the shadow of the sun in the patio could be faintly seen. Although the house has been repainted, there is still some old and decaying atmosphere, which can actually make Tang Wan so fascinated now. She breathed greedily and deeply, the smell of which silenced her heart.

Suddenly, there was a sound outside, first some noisy footsteps, and then someone talking.

There seemed to be a lot of people in the patio.

Tang Wan immediately became nervous, she listened attentively, but she couldn't hear what those people said. At this time, she couldn't care about the idea of letting Tan Dong rest well, and hurriedly pushed Tan Dong next to the bed. Tan Dong remained alert in his sleep, he suddenly turned over and sat up, his eyes had been opened, and he lowered his head to listen carefully to the sounds outside.

He couldn't hear what the people outside were saying.

So, he patted Tang Wan's hand, got up and got out of bed, listened to the door for a while, and then turned around and motioned for Tang Wan to dress, and he opened the door and walked out.

Tang Wan hurriedly got dressed and got up as fast as she could, and then sat on the edge of the bed restlessly and waited.

It didn't take long for Tan Dong to come back, and his expression when he entered the door was very strange, as if his nervous mood had been relieved, and he still seemed to be full of doubts. Tang Wan stared at him blankly, as if she was afraid of hearing some ominous news from his mouth.

"There are dead people in the town, on the chain bridge." Tan Dong said.

"What are so many people doing here?" Tan Dong pondered for a moment and said, "The person who died is He Qing, who lives next door to us. Tang Wan's eyes immediately appeared in front of a depressed woman, with long hair hanging down her shoulders. The woman's face was as white as if it were transparent, and there was an ominous aura on her body at a glance.

He Qing is not the daughter of the landlord and his wife, she was kicked out of the house by her husband many years ago, and the landlord and his wife saw that she was helpless, so they took her in. Over the years, she has had a good relationship with the landlord and his wife, who have regarded her as their daughter. Now that something has happened to her, people from the town have come to inform the landlord and his wife. Tang Wan let out an "oh", with a sympathetic look on her face.

"Now He Qing's body is still on the chain bridge, waiting for the people from the town police station to inspect it, and now everyone is about to bring the landlord and his wife over." Tang Wan let out another "oh", a little distracted.

Tan Dong was silent for a moment before he said, "Could this matter have anything to do with that thin man in black?" Tang Wan was stunned, and her eyes had become a little sad.

"Who the hell is that thin man, he has followed us all the way here, like a soul who will not be dispersed. What the hell is he trying to do? Tan Dong muttered to himself.

Tang Wan's face turned pale, and when the thin man appeared at yesterday's wedding, Tang Wan had already sensed the dangerous aura in the air. She could already conclude by this time that it was no accident that she met the thin man again, and that he must have some intentions, but she racked her brains and couldn't think of anywhere else she had seen him except for meeting him in the elevator once, let alone having anything to do with him before.

What does the thin man in black have to do with He Qing's death?

Could it be that he wanted to use this to deter Tan Dong and Tang Wan?

Tang Wan suddenly stood up, and she said, "Let's go too." "Where?" Tan Dong asked.

"Go to the chain bridge." Tang Wan paused for a moment, and then said, "Go see He Qing." He Qing's body was still hanging on the bridge, and she was dressed in white in the sun, which made her feel even more terrifying. Many people had gathered on the shore on both sides of the bridge, and everyone stared at the corpses hanging on the bridge from a distance, most of them did not say a word, their faces were calm, as if they had been robbed of their souls by the corpses.

He Qing's head was above the bridge deck, her body was under the bridge deck, standing in the position east of the river, her face could not be seen clearly, but she could see a long hair scattered on the bridge deck.

Tang Wan stood on the shore, she stared at the corpses floating in the wind between the two banks, her face turned pale, her eyes were dull, and her mouth seemed to be muttering something, but she was silent. Tan Dong hugged her shoulders tightly, and his face was calm at the moment, but his eyes were wandering around. From the crowd of onlookers, he found Sha Bo, Qin Ge, Yang Xing and Xiao Fei. And the thin man, also standing a little farther away from the crowd, silently staring in the direction of the bridge.

The thin man was still dressed in black, and he was standing under the eaves of a house, and his whole face was hidden in the shadows.

Tan Dong felt the impulse in his heart again at this moment, grabbed the thin man, and tore it apart, so that he and Tang Wan could live peacefully.

The couple was about to go up to the bridge with tears on their faces, but they were stopped from doing so. The old man and the old lady had a very sad and indignant look on their faces, but they were not like old people of this age in other regions, crying bitterly. Is this because He Qing is not their real daughter, or are they suppressing their grief in their hearts?

Living in the real world, whenever and wherever we are, we have to follow certain rules, which are sometimes not limited to legal ethics and various rules and regulations, but are more directly reflected in a certain force.

When that power is strong enough to threaten your existence and your life, then it becomes the rule for you.

If there are rules for even grief, what kind of deeper grief is it?

At this time, two middle-aged men in police uniforms crossed the crowd and walked onto the bridge. The old-fashioned police uniforms had apparently been worn for some years, and the yellow was coarsely white, and the two policemen didn't even wear hats, and wore the blue coarse cloth pants that local men loved to wear on their legs. The crotch of the pants was fat, and the two of them walked with figure-eight steps, looking from behind, like two ducks with faltering steps.

Tan Dong snorted lightly, his face showing some disdain. He would not have believed that such a police officer could solve the case.

"Do you really believe that the madwoman was killed by the Yakshas?" Shabo asked Jiangnan.

By this time they had returned to the Nightsleep Inn, and everyone except the thin man was sitting around and talking about the murder that had happened last night.

"I don't even believe in the person Yaksha, how can I believe that he kills." Jiang Nan smiled bitterly, "Don't ask me about this matter, I really can't figure it out." "But now there's a murderer in town, and he's in everyone's interest." This time it was Qin Ge who spoke, he stared at Jiang Nan, and said with some concern, "We will go back in a short time, you still have to continue living in this town, if you don't catch that murderer, I don't think everyone in this town will have a good time." "What can be done?" Jiang Nan said helplessly, "The people in this town will definitely simply attribute the matter to the Yaksha again." Everyone hated and feared the Yakshas. As long as the matter does not fall on him, no one will bother to ask about it. Everyone was a little silent, and after a while, Xiao Fei said to herself: "Could it be that there is really a Yaksha in this town?" "It's the ghost!" Yang Xing corrected her, "If the legend is true, then Yaksha must be at least a hundred years old, and besides, he has died at least twice. Qin Ge thought for a moment and asked again: "You said last night that a year ago, the Yaksha appeared in the town again. How did this spread exactly? Jiang Nan hesitated, as if Qin Ge was asking about something he didn't want to think about. But he ended up talking about what had happened in town a year ago.

"The death of the man, which has happened several times in the town in more than a year, is the fifth victim. The first two times the Yaksha came out to kill people, although it was also in the middle of the night, but he was unexpectedly seen. "The Yaksha kills people, and it comes from eyewitnesses?" Qin Ge asked again.

Jiang Nan was stunned for a moment, and then said: "The first to meet the Yaksha murder were two young people, they fell in love and talked about late at night, and the boy was on the way to send the girl home, and he ran into the Yaksha murder. The Yaksha killed a middle-aged man, and the two young men saw a strange man with a long beard, who was two meters tall and dressed in a short animal skin coat, with a long beard, lifting a large rock high and smashing it on the middle-aged man. Every time he smashed down, the middle-aged man let out a scream. And Yaksha lifted the stone again and again and smashed the middle-aged man to pieces. When everyone heard this, they felt a chill on their bodies.

The young couple did not know at the time that the man in the animal skin coat was the Yaksha, but after listening to their account, many of the old people in the town looked at each other and could not say a word. A month later, another able-bodied man in the village, this time witnessed the events by a middle-aged woman who had gone out late at night to find her son, who had not returned from an Internet café. The next day, when the body of the sturdy man was discovered, it was discovered that the woman was also insane, and she was running around the streets, shouting the name of the Yaksha, and soon after, she stumbled and fell off the cliff. Jiang Nan sighed: "When these two things are combined, the people in the town no longer have any doubts, and they all say that the legendary Yaksha has appeared again." Everyone looked at each other, and although they felt that the claim about the Yaksha killing was not credible, no one knew what to say for a while.

For a while, everyone was depressed and sat speechless.

On this morning, because of the murder of the madwoman, no one was interested in going out, and even Qin Ge made an exception to stay in the room and sort out the information collected these days. Sha Bo and Qin Ge were in the same room, and when Qin Ge was busy with his work, he leaned on the bed and thought about his thoughts. At this time, Yang Xing knocked on the door with Xiaofei and came in, Xiaofei was quick to talk, and when she entered the door, she talked about the question of when to leave the Sleeping Valley.

"This sleeping valley is full of evil spirits, I think, we better go back early." Yang Xing has been able to eat and drink for the past two days, and he is full of energy, and he obviously discussed it with Xiaofei before he came, and he also echoed it.

Sha Bo and Qin Ge glanced at each other, but they were silent.

Lying on the bed, Saab thought most about the thick cross on the invitation. He had seen that pattern three times, once in the station of the small town of the Yi family, in the sudden dizziness, after some psychedelic scenes, this pattern appeared on a flattened mountain rock. The second time was in his e-mail address, in an email sent to him by Forget Worry Grass without any words, and the pattern reappeared. By the third time the pattern appeared, Shabo would be certain that the Forgetfulness Grass must be in the Sleeping Valley. But why didn't she come out to meet her? Could it be that in her heart, there is something unknown about it?

In Sabo's eyes, the simple life of the people in this town, working at sunrise and resting at sunset, is really a typical way of life in a remote town, but this feeling has been completely changed by the death of the madwoman and the legend of the Yaksha. He wondered if the disappearance of the Forget-Worry Grass, or the inability to meet him, would it have something to do with the changes that had happened in the town these days?

The thought of how such an innocent girl would have anything to do with the long-haired, long-bearded, and short-clothed Yaksha, Shabo shuddered in his heart.

Forgetfulness must have wanted to tell him something, and maybe, hoping that he could save her from danger, how could he leave the Sleeping Valley at this time?

But Yang Xing and Xiaofei proposed to leave at this time, and he couldn't refute it, the two of them were still children, and if they suffered any damage because of this, it would make him feel guilty for the rest of his life.

Sha Bo didn't speak, but Qin Ge had to say because he was the initiator of this self-help tour group.

"As far as I know, early the day after tomorrow, there will be a bus back to that small Yi town, and a few of you will take that bus back. There are indeed some evil sects in this town, so it's safer to go back. "Then you're not going back with us?" Xiaofei said.

These days, although she has not had much contact with Qin Ge, she has traveled all the way, and she was born in the same city, and in this exotic town, she still has some intimate feelings.

Qin Ge smiled: "Don't forget, I'm in the news, something like this happened in Sleeping Valley, do you think I can miss it?" He saw that Xiaofei had a look of disbelief in his eyes, and added: "If I can figure out these things, I can do a special topic when I go back, and maybe I can win an award." Then my good future will be given an extra weight. So, I thought about it and decided to stay here. "I think it's better for you two to go back, and I won't leave." Shabo said.

Xiaofei rolled her eyes at him: "What's the matter with you here, you are also coaxing." "That's it, Lao Sha, don't get into the water, other Qin reporters have articles to write, what can you do here except to watch the excitement." Yang Xing also came to fight Shabo.

Shabo hesitated, not knowing whether to tell them about Forget-me-Grass.

"If it's okay, go back. The legend of the Yaksha may not be true, but the town does hide dangerous people who are a threat to everyone. Qin Ge also persuaded Sha Bo.

Sha Bo is still groaning, if Yang Xing Xiaofei knows that he came to Sleepy Valley to meet netizens, it will definitely become a laughing stock, and these two hairy children may not have to ridicule him.

His hesitant appearance made Yang Xing and Xiaofei smile dumbly. Yang Xing said: "Lao Sha, you still recruit it, why did you come to this sleeping valley from afar?" Xiaofei and I have been muttering in private for several days, you are not the kind of impulsive person, since you have come to this place, there must be a reason for you, or you are evil. Xiaofei patted Yang Xing's head: "Whoever is evil can't be evil to our Lao Sha, don't talk nonsense, let's listen to Lao Sha's confession." The two sang and harmonized like this, Sha Bo couldn't cry or laugh, seeing that he couldn't pass the test if he didn't tell the truth, at the moment, he had to tell the matter between him and the forgetful grass. When talking about the thick cross pattern, he was afraid that everyone would not believe it, and he especially listed some things about seeing the test questions in dizziness before the college entrance examination. When he finally finished seeing the thick cross again on the invitation, several people in the room looked at each other and were speechless for a moment.

"Don't look at me like that." Shabo blushed, "I didn't tell you a lie. Yang Xing and Xiaofei knew that Sha Bo was not the kind of person who joked around, and at such a time, it was even more impossible for him to make up stories to deceive everyone. The two of them quickly went through the matter in their minds, and came to the same conclusion that if there was a girl named Forgetweed, then she must be in the Sleeping Valley by now.

The thick cross must have been painted after Yang Xing put the invitation on the Sabo bed. Following this line of thought, during this time, there will not be many people who can enter the Nightsleep Inn, as long as you ask the innkeeper Jiang Nan, you can know who has entered Shabo's room during that time.

After Yang Xing's words were finished, it was Qin Ge who shook his head first: "Let's assume that the pattern on the invitation is really left by the little girl named Forget-me-Forget Grass, she obviously wants to hint at something from Shabo, and since Shabo came, she has been hiding in the shadows, which shows that she has a last resort, and this hardship may be related to the secret of the Sleeping Valley." So, we can't rely on the power of anyone in the Sleeping Valley until we figure things out. Sha Bo originally felt that it was a little inappropriate to ask Jiang Nan about this matter, but he didn't think so deeply about it as Qin Ge. He seemed to understand something, and said, "You mean, you can't trust anyone here?" Qin Ge pondered for a moment: "I hope the matter is not as serious as I thought." He said to Yang Xing and Xiaofei with a calm face: "The day after tomorrow, you two will go back to that Yi family town first to wait for our news, and staying here, I feel more and more that it is a dangerous thing." "Yang Xing and Xiaofei already know about Sha Bo, where are they willing to go, and they also want to see what kind of girl can lead Sha Bo from thousands of miles away to this remote town." Since we came together, we must go back together, and if Lao Sha doesn't leave, we won't leave either. Yang Xing said.

Yang Xing and Xiaofei were resolute, Qin Ge and Sha Bo glanced at each other, and they both shook their heads and smiled bitterly.

"Stay in the Valley of Sleep, what should we do, we can't just wait." Xiaofei said.

"Yes, we'll have to wait." Qin Ge said, "Since that girl has already left a hinting pattern, she will definitely not stop there, she will definitely leave a new clue again." All we have to do now is wait, and, I'm sure, she's more anxious than we are. Seeing that everyone nodded in agreement, Qin Ge said, "The murder that happened in the Sleeping Valley may not have anything to do with the girl named Forget-me-Forget Grass, but this possibility cannot be ruled out. And the legendary Yaksha, does it really exist? The most important point is, what kind of person is the mysterious owner of the Sleeping Mountain Villa? I suspect that all of this happened in Sleepy Hollow had something to do with him. If that were the case, it would be much more complicated. And we don't know much about it right now, so we're going to have to wait until more happens to figure out these issues. "You're saying there's going to be something else going on here, and there's going to be another death?" Yang Xing asked.

Qin Ge was silent, but nodded.

As they spoke, it was obvious that they had taken the search for the Forget-Worry Grass as their own business. Sha Bo was moved in his heart and wanted to say something, but everyone saw through his heart, Qin Ge smiled and waved his hand: "You don't have to be polite to us, here, only a few of us can trust each other, no matter who of us has something, I think everyone will be the same as now." These words made everyone's hearts warm.

Qin Ge finally said: "It's waiting, but we can't really sit down and do nothing, we have to give that girl called Forget-me-noiss." Yang Xing was the first to understand, and he nodded: "Lao Sha usually goes out alone when he has nothing to do, especially in the dead of night, so that he can help the girl avoid others." Xiaofei showed a miserable expression on her face: "It's just a matter of walking around alone, and in the dead of night, if our Lao Sha is touched by that yaksha, and his body hangs on the chain bridge and dangles like this......" She originally wanted to make a joke, but when she said this, she suddenly couldn't go on, and everyone's faces became heavy. Xiaofei's words are not impossible, so Shabo's safety has become the most critical issue.

Qin Ge pondered again, and then said, "From tomorrow onwards, a few of us will have to cooperate with Sha Bo's actions. In this way, during the day, Sha Bo will go out, Yang Xing Xiaofei and the two of you will follow him, and at night, I will take over. Anyway, no matter what time it is, you can't let your old sand be left alone. Yang Xing and Xiaofei said yes together, and immediately had a feeling of eagerness to try. Yang Xing looked at Qin Ge and smiled: "How do I think you don't look like a reporter." "What does that look like?" Qin Ge asked rhetorically.

"Like an underground worker." Yang Xing said, and then corrected, "It's more like a policeman, or a criminal policeman." "The skinny man walks alone in the town. He walked slowly, because he had time to pass the time.

That evening, he found a product he was interested in in a grocery store on a small street in Hexi. It was an earth-gray telescope, scratched on the surface, but it looked very new. The thin man held the telescope in his hand and played with it, the four lenses in front and back of the telescope were spotless, shimmering with a faint blue halo in the setting sun. He walked out into the side street and held up his binoculars to look at the end of the street.

He saw a child walking and eating a jujube cake with two dates left on it.

He was so satisfied that he bought the telescope for a hundred dollars.

The telescope has a small pouch of artificial leather with a strap that can be carried over the shoulder, or hung on the chest. The thin man now hung his binoculars on his chest, and he strode toward the end of the street.

At the end of the street, he walked up the steps to the river.

He looked through his binoculars at the chain bridge, especially where the woman he had seen in the morning hanging. Of course, the woman's body was gone, but he still saw that there was one piece missing, not all, but a bridge that had been broken in the middle, and one at each end was attached to the iron cable.

He was even happier with the telescope.

He turned around and looked at the sunset still hanging on the top of the mountain, and he had a lot of longing for the night that was coming.

Night is coming. The moon is already in the west, and it is late at night.

Shabo came out of the Internet café and walked along the side streets west of the river to the river as usual. As he stepped up the first step of the river, he suddenly gasped, and his whole back ridge became even colder.

Song. He heard the singing again.

The song came clearly in the moonlight, and he was sure it wasn't his hallucination. In his mind, a long-haired woman in white stood on a bridge, her face was fair, as if it were transparent. Tears kept falling from her eyes, and in her arms, she was still holding a disemboweled, and the cotton wool in the doll's belly was dragged out, and it was stained with blood.

And the woman, just this morning, was found hanging from the chain bridge.

Shabo's heart beat faster, and he only felt that the steps in front of him were as high as the mountain, and at this moment, his legs were weak, and it was difficult to take a step.

The song was still drifting faintly, and this time he was sure it was really singing, not crying.

The song is so ethereal that it does not come from the mortal world, it flows between heaven and earth lighter than moonlight, but it is colder than moonlight.

Who else but the madwoman with long hair and white clothes would sing on the bridge late at night?

And the mad woman, still hanging on the bridge this morning. Her head was on the bridge, and her body was fluttering in the wind under the bridge. She was forced to slip between the bridges.

Sabo sat down on the steps with his ass down, and he didn't even have the strength to retreat.

He looked helplessly at the side street he had just walked, empty and lonely, as quiet as a ghost street.

Shabo's whole body had become cold.

Suddenly, a dark shadow moved forward on the ghost street, and Shabo's hairs stood on end in an instant. The shadow moved silently, but swiftly, and soon came very close to Shabo.

Shabo let out a sigh of relief, his head covered with sweat.

At this time, he saw clearly that the moving black shadow turned out to be Qin Ge, they said during the day, and Qin Ge would follow him at night, and he didn't see Qin Ge's shadow at all this night, and when he was frightened just now, he didn't even think of him.

Qin Ge had already rushed to Sha Bo, what did Sha Bo want to say, Qin Ge made a silent gesture, and he obviously heard the singing sound from the direction of the bridge.

Qin Ge was much calmer than Sha Bo, although his face was also calm, he didn't have a frightened look. As he listened, the singing suddenly disappeared. Qin Ge showed a slight disappointment on his face, but fortunately, at this time, the singing voice suddenly came again. Qin Ge didn't hesitate anymore, waved his hand at Sha Bo, and made a gesture to the past. Sha Bo hesitated, although with Qin Ge at this moment, his fear was much less, but he still lacked courage to let him face the song on the bridge alone.

Qin Ge sighed softly, leaned over, and said in a low voice, "I will follow you without landing a single step." Sabo smiled sheepishly, took a deep breath, and without further hesitation, stood up and stepped up the steps.

There were about a dozen flights of steps, and soon he was on the top of the riverbank. The wide river ripples, and the crumpled moonlight sparkles on the water. The chain bridge flew through the air, and the other side of the river was hidden in the darkness, and at a glance, it seemed as if the chain bridge was the passage to the netherworld.

At this moment, on the bridge, there was a woman in white with long hair standing with her back to the west bank, with a plump body, long hair hanging down her shoulders, and the whole person was vaguely immersed in a cloud of white light. The ethereal singing voice floated clearly from where she stood.

Sha Bo's scalp was numb, and he glanced back at Qin Ge. Qin Ge made a gesture in the past, Sha Bo gritted his teeth, and finally stopped hesitating and strode towards the bridge.

If it was really a female ghost, he also wanted to see what the female ghost looked like.

Chain bridges belong to the soft bridge category, and there will be a slight shaking sensation when stepping on it. Shabo took a breath of relief, and her steps were heavier, and the woman in white with long hair would not hear it, but she never turned her head, and when Shabo was still more than ten meters away from her, she suddenly walked down to the other side of the bridge.

Sha Bo was puzzled in his heart, and when he looked back and saw that Qin Ge had already appeared on the river embankment, he was a little more bold in his heart, so he didn't stop and followed the woman to the east of the bridge.

The woman walked as if she were floating on the clouds, fluttering without a sound. In the blink of an eye, she had reached the east bank of the bridge, stepped on the steps leading to the side street, and then, as soon as her body sank, she disappeared from Sabo's sight.

Shabo hastened his steps, and by the time he reached the top of the steps, the woman had disappeared into the side street.

Sha Bo was at a loss, so he waited for Qin Ge behind him to catch up. The two of them stood on the steps and waited for a while, but they still couldn't see the woman in white.

"What now?" Shabo's tone was somewhat lighthearted, as if the woman's disappearance was something to be thankful for.

Qin Ge didn't speak, his gaze still fell on the straight side street in front of him.

A white shadow flashed ahead, and the woman reappeared, already in the middle of the side street.

Qin Ge didn't have time to speak, he only pulled Sha Bo and ran down quickly. Shabo followed, and there was a vague feeling in his heart that the woman seemed to be taking them somewhere. If so, then at least she has no ill will.

The woman was still slowly drifting forward, but Qin Ge and Sha Bo had to trot all the way to keep up. The woman never looked back, so Qin Ge simply stopped hiding and ran forward side by side with Sha Bo.

The side street soon came to an end. The woman in white disappeared from sight again, but soon after, she appeared at the mouth of another alley. Qin Ge and Sha Bo followed quickly.

The alleys are intricate, but fortunately, the woman always reappears when Qin Ge and Sha Bo are lost. The walls on both sides of the alley were more than a foot high, and the wide eaves protruded, so that the moonlight could barely shine here, but the figure of the woman in front of her was still shrouded in a layer of hazy white light.

At this time, Sha Bo still couldn't tell if she was the crazy woman He Qing, but Qin Ge concluded that she must be someone else. Qin Ge whispered in Shabo's ear: "The madwoman has died on the chain bridge, and the dead will not come out to move again." Sha Bo also believed that Qin Ge's words were correct, there were no ghosts in this world, but the woman in the sight of the woman in a layer of white light, apart from ghosts, what else could it be?

The woman in white turned onto a mountain road and quickly led Shabo Qin Ge out of the town's house. At the beginning, the mountain road was more than one person wide, and then it became narrower and narrower, and later, there was only a shallow trace left, if there was no woman to lead, in the dark night, even if Qin Ge Shabo saw it, he would not treat it as a road.

There are tall trees and craggy and steep rocks on the mountain, and the moonlight can sometimes fall through the shadows of the trees, and sometimes it is completely hidden behind the tall rocks.

I don't know how long I walked, but after crossing several large and small hills, the woman disappeared from sight again. At this time, Qin Ge and Sha Bo were not in a hurry, knowing that she would soon appear again. But this time they waited a long time before the woman in white appeared on a raised rock a few feet away from them. She was standing high with the moon hanging over her head. She stood still, and the moonlight reflected behind her. She turned slowly, her body shrouded in a white moonlight, but her face was still dark. Qin Ge and Sha Bo, who were hurrying here, felt a coldness on their faces at the same time, as if they were caught by the woman's gaze.

Qin Ge Shabo subconsciously lowered his head, as if he wanted to avoid something, and when they raised their heads again, the woman had already disappeared from the mountain rock.

Qin Ge and Sha Bo looked around as they ran, thinking that the woman would appear somewhere else, but this time, she had really disappeared.

Under that mountain rock, Qin Ge and Sha Bo stopped. Sha Bo looked around blankly, a little at a loss, but Qin Ge did not hesitate, pointed to the raised mountain rock and whispered, "Let's go up." "On the rock, the view suddenly widens, and behind it, there is a gentle clearing, about hundreds of square meters. At this moment, the moonlight was reflected in the open space at a glance, and the undulating mounds were extremely clearly presented in Qin Ge and Sha Bo's sight.

Qin Ge and Sha Bo stiffened all over, and a chill rose in their hearts at the same time.

Those semi-circular mounds, they could see at a glance that they were tombs. These tombs are densely packed and occupy the entire open space. Some of the tombs have monuments in front of them, and some have a bamboo pole with a white paper banner on it. When the wind blows, the paper banner floats leisurely in the wind.

The woman in white actually took Qin Ge and Sha Bo to the cemetery.

Qin Ge and Sha Bo looked at each other, and no one was speechless for a while.
