The village is deserted at night.

Occasionally, a few strange villagers who were uncertain and anxious to go home also hurried forward as if they hadn't seen Shen Fei.

It seems that a moment of crisis that has not been seen in a century is about to be encountered

At the moment, everyone is only looking out for themselves.

At this moment, the dim street lamps and people became like people, and the faint yellow lights flickered, as if they would be completely extinguished in the next moment, and then the village fell into endless darkness.

Shen Fei stayed in the shadows, and if anyone observed him, they would feel that he was not a living person. He sat in the back seat of the car, motionless like a dead man.

Panic can freeze people. The intermittent sound of wind chimes and the storm-like sound of drumming were faintly heard.

In this piece of wind chimes and noisy voices, the alarm on Shen Fei's mobile phone rang, solemnly and soothingly telling that it was eleven o'clock at the moment, the alarm clock was the voice of a person, and the clock was Shen Fei's voice. Shen Fei didn't feel the passage of time, he sat still. At this time, the wind chimes from the village became louder and closer, and then more wind chimes came, more violent than the first time, which was probably the best tribute to the dead that Sun Jun had heard and seen before. The continuous wind chimes, which occurred in the dead night, were particularly violent.

Shen Fei took off the headphones hanging in his ear, he slowly opened the car door, walked out, faced the direction of the sound, and then leaned back on the car, crossed his arms, and slowly lowered his head to his chest.

At this moment, the wind chimes in the village, as if they had received some kind of signal, suddenly all stopped abruptly.

Shen Fei: He walked into the village!

......

At this moment, all the houses in the village are closed, and the windows and curtains are closed.

But something strange happened

There are no wind chimes at the door of the village, and there is no wind or the sound of wind chimes.

Shen Fei didn't stop there

Instead, keep walking

His eyes wandered around, and his domineering aura covered a radius of 500 meters

It didn't take long

Shen Fei stopped in front of a courtyard and focused his eyes on the courtyard gate.

A hand appeared on the doorknob.

Knock knock!

The knock on the door echoed in this environment.

No one answered.

The hand tried to push the door, but it was unlocked, and the courtyard and house behind it were also dark.

The door of the house was locked, and Shen Fei moved to the window, and even the window was locked.

Shen Fei frowned and muttered to himself

"Could it be somewhere else?"

There was silence in the village, the village committee and the factory, all as silent as the village, no one and no sound.

Shen Fei stayed away from the family just now

At this moment, the village is darkly lit and blinded.

But if you have extraordinary ears, you may hear a small muttering sound coming from some house, as small as a mosquito.

It was already late at night.

Shen Fei walked through the village on two long legs, walked out of the gate with many houses, and came to the back mountain.

A few steps ahead, there is an empty place in Xiaomiao Village.

At this point, there are no more people there, only a few dim oil lamps, shining on the empty land.

Shen Fei looked around, paying attention in his heart

"This is the place where the people of Xiaomiao Village are buried when they die"

At this moment, Shen Fei seemed extremely calm, and now all that was left was the surrounding empty fields, the villages behind him, and he was walking alone on the desolate land.

and a worn-out map in his hand

"The cemetery boundary is not marked on the map."

Shen Fei's brows tightened

There can only be some aimlessly searching near the village, walking through the farmland.

The night was vast and foggy.

Shen Fei groped his way through the forest with steady steps, and walked towards the center of the cemetery.

Now someone has discovered Shen Fei. It's just right, it's just right for him. He climbed a small hill and stumbled along the barren hillside, seemingly lost in the darkness.

It's annoying. Where's what he's looking for?

In his messy steps, there seemed to be a hint of regularity, and he kept walking forward until he found a way. Then he walked through another forest.

Shen Fei's mind was pitch black, and he walked like this without knowing why.

Feeling nothing, he staggered into the glade, unable to find a way out, and groped his way along the hedge until a small hill appeared

"This is it!" Shen Fei shouted in his heart

With a roll of his eyes, he looked at the hill.

It's a bit of a distance from the village, but you can see the fire on the mountain.

Shen Fei ran there quickly, and at this moment, there was no staggering like just now

In a few moments, a rugged mountain road appeared.

In the circular light cluster of the flashlight, uneven stones form a climbing staircase. Above, there is an abrupt flat land on the hill, with no grass growing and some historical remnants of ruins on the ground.

There was no fire, but there was smoke curling up from the center of the ruins ahead.

After turning a section of the fence, I photographed an old lady with silver hair. The old lady knelt on the ground, staring at the black ash on the ground. The flashlight glowed through her body.

She didn't turn her head, just squinted her eyes and looked in Shen Fei's direction.

"You're here. That little grandson's son, called you? The old lady's voice was hoarse, but her tone was steady.

"Grandma, you're really capable." Shen Fei walked towards him slowly, then squatted down beside the old lady and held her wrist, "There was no reaction at all." Why didn't those people want to take revenge on you? ”

The old lady laughed, not gloomy, but like an ordinary kind old lady.

"I am guarding this place, and the life in this place is still death, how can you blame me. It is the land that wants them to die, not that I want them to die. The old lady said.

Shen Fei saw the black ash on the ground.

Shen Fei asked, "Those are the wind chimes in the village?" ”

"Hmm." The old lady responded indifferently, "Okay, this matter is over, and I will leave the old woman." Go back, you kid. ”

"Meow—"

A cat meow interjected.

The nimble cat walked around the broken walls and rubble, and slowly moved to the old lady's side.

With some difficulty, the old lady picked up the black cat, carried it to her shoulders, and stood up. She rubbed the black cat's neck and pulled out a string of wooden wind chimes from the soft fur.

"Well, I'll leave you a souvenir." The old lady handed the wind chime forward, "The wind chime can attract demons, if one day, you are in need, I hope it can help you." ”

Shen Fei stretched out his hand to take the wind chime, and asked the fox: "Didn't you lure the ghosts and demons to us?" I'm not afraid of that, Grandma. ”

"Hehehe......" The old lady laughed with the cat on her shoulder, and the fat cat trembled with it.

She walked past Shen Fei, slowly descended the mountain, her movements were old, and when she went down the steps, she leaned sideways, went down one level, stood firm, and then went down one level.

Shen Fei didn't speak, nor did he move.

In the picture, you can see the sky above the old lady, and the dark sky is changing. The heavy clouds in the sky sank, thinned and became mist, wisps of wisps that burrowed into the old lady's body.

"Meow—" The black cat squealed, moving its paws.

The old hand patted the black cat on the back.

The old lady went down the mountain, her figure became small, and her straight figure became rickety.

She continued on her way, faltering. The black mist moved with her, and the sky became a gradient, part dark blue, part from light gray to jet black. It's as if this old lady has brushed away the ink from the sky.

Shen Fei looked at the sky

Those black clouds and black fog were finally taken away, and the color of the sky also underwent a new round of changes, and the light of the morning sun appeared in the sky. It wasn't until the sky was bright that the picture became natural, and there was no such supernatural color.

The next day, Shen Fei received a call

It was confirmed that Sun Jun and his family were dead, and the cause of death was a fall, and the police found traces of a fight in his home, and the case is not known for the time being.

Shen Fei's investment plan was investigated. According to Shen Fei's plan, his company will negotiate with the ancestral village government to build a chemical plant in this area. Shen Fei's company had received a rectification opinion from the Environmental Protection Bureau and was fined.

Shen Fei came to the old woman's house

Seeing her daughter-in-law Ma Juan.

"What are you asking? My mother-in-law is gone......"

"I want to ask about your mother-in-law and this village. Now, you should be able to accept our inquiry, right? ”

"Suck ...... That's it. ”

"Can you elaborate on that?"

"My mother-in-law is the old man in the village, the oldest one, and everyone in the village believes her. is like the kind of respectable old man on TV, who has no official or position, but everyone has to listen to what she says. ”

"Hmm."

"She'll count. She said it was the land that told her what to do. From her mother's point onwards, the family knew what to tell them. In the earliest days, when they were planting, they had to ask their family to see when to plant, what to plant, as well as water and fertilizer, and when to harvest, and they had to ask them, and they were also in charge of weddings and funerals. ”

"There was a big landlord here in history, right? There is also the ancestral hall of his family built here. ”

"It's up the hill over there. But it's all gone. ”

"Granny Wang is the servant of the big landlord?"

"What a servant! Not really! The Sun family is the later, it was my mother-in-law and her family who lived here first, and their ancestors lived here for generations. The Sun family came, but then left again. This is not the first of its kind, either. They have nothing to do with us. ”

"So, what about a family surnamed Sun in the village?"

"That family is not a thing. After my mother-in-law opened a factory here from his house, she said that she couldn't feel the ground. She felt that there was something wrong with the factory, but after the factory was built, the situation in the village was really better, and every household could eat meat, and there was electricity or something. It's just that the conditions are good. When some of the things in the village were also demolished, my mother-in-law said that maybe it was time. This is the case in many other places besides us. People don't live on a piece of land as long as they used to, and they don't live by farming anymore, so there is no sound from the land. But the family died, and after the death, my mother-in-law realized that something was wrong. ”

Shen Fei hurriedly asked

"What's wrong?"

.......
