The person who sang was an old man.

An old man who was blind in one left eye.

He looked to be at least eighty-five or sixteen years old.

I saw that there was no clean place on the old man's body, a navy blue coat had been washed and some white, and the only remaining right eye was not much better than the left eye, and there was no anger in the cloudy eyes, and large pieces of eye feces were pasted on it, and he looked very sloppy.

The old man sat on a wooden bench in front of the broken tile house, holding a broken wooden stick that he had picked up from nowhere, drawing circles on the ground while throwing lit paper money into the circle, and muttering from time to time two small songs that he didn't know where he had learned.

The song is not good, but the "Biluo Village" mentioned in it makes me feel shocked.

I coughed lightly twice, then stepped forward and asked, "This old man, I want to ask you something." ”

The old man was not surprised by my sudden appearance, he just turned his head, looked at me with his cloudy right eye, and then murmured, "Young man, if there is anything you want to inquire, just say it, there is no need to be so polite." ”

I looked at the old man, deliberately dragged out my voice for a long time, and then said word by word: "I want to ask the old man, do you know that there is a place called ...... near here Biluo Village? ”

When the old man heard me say "Biluo Village", he was stunned for a moment, then turned his head and looked at me suspiciously, and asked, "What are you doing in Biluo Village?" ”

I deliberately lowered my tone very lightly, and then said: "Don't hide it from the old man, my surname is Hu, and our family has an old house in Biluo Village." Something happened at home recently, and the older generation asked me to go back to the old house of the Hu family in Biluo Village to get something. According to the old man's words, it is not far from Huai County to Biluo Village, but you see that we have been driving out for nearly an hour, and we haven't found it yet, so I came to inquire with you about the way. ”

After listening to what I said, the one-eyed old man nodded slightly, and said softly: "Since you can't find it, it's the will of heaven." You'd better go back! The kind of place in Biluo Village is not something you can go to! ”

After saying that, the one-eyed old man turned his head and continued to add paper money to the fire, still babbling the song without a tune.

I saw that the old man heard that I was going to look for Biluo Village, and I actually reacted like this, and the question mark of Dou Da couldn't help but pop up from the bottom of my heart.

I coughed lightly and asked in surprise, "What do you mean by that, old man?" ”

The old man didn't even look at me this time, and said coldly, "What do you mean?" It's literal, how? Am I not talking about human words? Or do you not understand human speech at all? ”

I saw that the old man began to become a little unreasonable, and my heart began to be a little unhappy, and I said loudly: "I said old man, I am here to talk to you politely and ask for directions, if you don't tell me, you won't tell, there's no need to hurt me here, right?" ”

The old man seemed to hear the anger in my words, and snorted coldly and said, "Hmph, scolding you is for your own good, and I said that Biluo Village is not a place you can go." Young people like you, I've seen a lot of old men. If you don't dislike your long life, you can hurry up and go back to where you came from. ”

I asked aloud, "What do you mean people like us have seen a lot?" Why do you see too much? I said, old man, you have the ability to make it clear, why is Biluo Village not a place we can go to? ”

The old man heard that my tone had changed unkindly, and he was not angry, nor annoyed, but he first filled the fire with two handfuls of paper money, and then slowly put aside the broken wooden stick that was a little burned and blackened. Then he unhurriedly took out a slightly wrinkled cigarette case from his jacket pocket, and slowly lit it from it.

After the old man was busy with this series of actions, he turned his head to look at me, and said slowly, "Don't think I don't know, young man. Young people like you casually read a little news on the Internet, or casually listen to a little legend, and then take the girl to explore, find excitement, and prove how capable you are, but what you don't know is what kind of place Biluo Village is, and how many people have gone and never returned...... cough cough cough ...... cough cough cough ......"

The one-eyed old man seemed to choke on the smoke, and suddenly coughed incessantly. After a while, he patted his chest and slowly continued: "Young man, it's just a matter of deceiving others with what you just said, and I won't be able to deceive the old man." What else...... Why is there your old house in Biluo Village...... What else is the old house of the Hu family......"

When the old man said this, he raised his cloudy eyes and looked at me, and then said, "Do you know how many families there are in Biluo Village? ”

The old man was asking me this, but before I could say anything, he hurriedly replied, "There are eight families in Biluo Village. The village is a little smaller, and the population is indeed a little less, starting from Dongtou, the first family is Li Fatzi who fishes, the second family is Liu Erzhuzi who chops wood, the third family is Liu Widow who picks mountain goods, the fourth family is Zhao Heimian who sells pancakes, the fifth family is Huang Sandao who sells meat, the sixth family is Aunt Li who weaves straw frames, and the seventh family plays with horse hemp seeds, and the eighth household ......"

Hearing this, I couldn't help but rush to ask, "Who is the eighth family?" What is his last name? ”

The one-eyed old man didn't look at me this time, his eyes kept staring at the fire in front of him that was almost extinguished, his eyes were stunned, and his thoughts seemed to return to a moment in his youth.

After a long while, he sighed and said leisurely: "In short, this eighth household is not surnamed Hu." Among the eight households in Biluo Village, there is no one surnamed Hu, so let alone the old house of the Hu family that you are talking about. ”

I was shocked and hurriedly asked, "How is this possible?" It's impossible for the older generation of our family to lie to me! ”

The one-eyed old man said disdainfully: "Then you'd better go back and ask clearly, and by the way, ask if this Biluo Village is a place where you little cubs can come." ”

After speaking, the one-eyed old man picked up the broken wooden stick on the ground, used it to pick up the paper money that had been extinguished on the ground, and sang leisurely in his mouth: "The little ghost in the underworld takes the money, the rules of the underworld are not afraid, the world seems to be ruthless, and the ghost has to have money to spend, all the relatives and friends are here, and I am not afraid of loneliness in the world......"

I looked at the chattering old man in front of me, and then turned my head to look at Hua Muling on the side, Hua Muling had not spoken before, but frowned as if thinking about something, and when she saw me looking at her, she tilted her head at me, and said softly: "Since people don't want to tell us where Biluo Village is, then I don't have to be bored with myself, let's go!" ”

I could only sigh helplessly and say, "Hmm! You're right, we'll have to go back first. ”

After saying that, I turned around and walked towards the road with Hua Muling. However, after just a few steps, Hua Muling suddenly stopped, turned his head and asked the one-eyed old man, and said, "Old man, can I ask you a word?" ”

The one-eyed old man tilted his head and glanced at Hua Muling, and after a while he said leisurely, "Little girl, what do you want to ask?" ”

Hua Muling thought for a while, and then said word by word: "Excuse me, how do you know so much about Biluo Village?" Are you the eighth family in Nabiluo Village? ”

The one-eyed old man listened to Hua Muling's words, and the whole person couldn't help but be stunned at first, and then his eyes showed an extremely complicated and very strange look, he didn't speak, he just stared at Hua Muling, like a wounded beast staring at the enemy.

Seeing the old man's reaction, Hua Muling didn't ask anything, but bowed slightly to the one-eyed old man and said, "You don't have to answer, I think I already know the answer, thank you!" ”

After saying that, I turned around and walked towards the car in a daze.

But we had barely taken two steps when the one-eyed old man suddenly stopped the two of us, "Wait a minute! ”

I looked back at the one-eyed old man and asked, "What?" Elderly, are you okay? ”

The one-eyed old man looked at me, then at Hua Muling, and then said, "Do you know who I'm burning paper money for?" ”

I shook my head and said, "I don't know! Is it your relative, old man? ”

The one-eyed old man shook his head, then nodded again, his cloudy right eye was full of complicated emotions, and after a while he said slowly: "These paper money in my hand are burned to the villagers of Biluo Village. ”

I asked in surprise, "The villagers of Biluo Village?" You mean, the villagers of Biluo Village are all dead? ”

The one-eyed old man didn't even look at me, just nodded slightly, and said slowly, "That's right, all dead!" Not a single live mouth was left! Although Biluo Village is not big, with only eight households, although it is not a paradise, it is an extremely peaceful place. ”

When the one-eyed old man said this, there was a faint glimmer of light in his cloudy right eye, as if the whole person had fallen into the memories of the past, but the glimmer of light only existed for a moment, and then it became extremely dim.

The one-eyed old man took a puff of his cigarette and sighed, "Hey...... Originally, everything was fine, but who would have thought that sixty years ago today, a greed that should not have taken the life of the whole village. Overnight...... Overnight...... 32 people up and down Biluo Village, all of them died in Huangquan, and there was not a single ...... left alive."

When I heard the one-eyed old man's words, I hurriedly asked, "What? Not a single person is alive? What really happened? How did they die? ”

But the old man didn't seem to hear what I said at all, he just said to himself, "Biluo Village can't go...... There are ghosts in Biluo Village...... After the group came...... brought disaster to the village...... Everything has changed...... It became full of terrible disasters...... Biluo Village can't go to ...... There are ghost ...... in Biluo Village"

Later, the one-eyed old man suddenly became very crazy, and he began to wave the broken log in his hand incessantly, as if he was fighting an invisible enemy in front of him.

The one-eyed old man kept gasping and shouting, "Get out! Get out! Get out of here, y'all! Biluo Village is not a place for you to go! Get out! Roll ......"
