"It's even more strange because I haven't slept all night! The coffins were also torn down and covered with broken wood...... You, what the hell have you done? ”

Stammered and continued to ask me.

"So, that's more of a business to us. When the hell do you have to ask, the money for you to lead the way has also been paid, why, do you want to repay the debt? ”

"No, it's not, it's just ......"

"If you really feel that there is a problem, you can report it to you. Why don't we help? ”

My words made my stammering face more and more gloomy, and I finally had to give up. For the rest of the way, he said very little, which made me suspect more and more that the mysterious person who sent the corpse in his mouth was simply made up. But it doesn't matter, the point is that Shunshan Village is getting closer and closer to me.

When I was about two kilometers away from the village, I stopped and said, "That's it." ”

He stammered and looked at me inexplicably, "Ah...... Yes? ”

"I said you could go back."

"For ...... Why? It's not there yet, and it's close. ”

"I know, just leave the rest to the two of us."

Although he felt puzzled, when he saw that I insisted, he didn't continue to ask, turned around and prepared to leave, but after walking a few steps and turning around, he finally asked me, "That...... That corpse, really, really didn't you take it? ”

"It's not."

"......" He was stunned, didn't speak, and didn't understand.

I looked at him curiously and asked, "Didn't you say that you are not afraid of the dead?" ”

"But, but I'm afraid it will, a dead man who can move."

"Heh, you've been together for so long, it will move, and you're scared? Let's go back. ”

He stammered and returned the same way, but his steps were a little messy.

After he left, Yao Qianwen asked me, "Uncle, what corpse?" This guy asked you all the way? ”

"It's just an ordinary corpse."

"You took it?"

"What do you say?"

"Then tell him. Oh, you're afraid he's going to take money again? Oh, what are you afraid of, anyway, Sister Lan is paying all the way, and you don't have any money......" Yao Qianwen looked at me shyly.

"Heh......" I smiled helplessly, "I don't actually tell him the truth, I just want to scare him." As for the reason, I'm bored. ”

"So what's next, what are we going to do? Keep going? ”

I shook my head, sat down directly, and took out water and food for Yao Qianwen, "Rest, wait until six o'clock, Du Youlan and I will enter the village." ”

"Oh......" Yao Qianwen nodded thoughtfully, "Oh, it seems that it is dangerous there." ”

"Not necessarily, but it's better to be careful." As I spoke, I threw her another knife and a sealed bag, "and after a little pain, I cut off a piece of my own flesh." ”

Yao Qianwen, who has experienced many things, doesn't need me to explain too much, and immediately understands what I mean, "It's not dangerous!" You have made plans for Sister Lan and me to be reborn! ”

"I said, be careful."

……

At six o'clock in the evening, Du Youlan and Yao Qianwen switched bodies, and we continued to rush towards the village, not too fast, all the way I was carefully searching for the smell of the neighborhood. There was indeed Mina's scent here, but it was only a remnant, and she wasn't there. Other than that, I didn't smell the rest of the insect venom.

It was close to seven o'clock when Du Youlan and I arrived at the entrance of the village.

Under a stout old locust tree, several old men were playing chess.

Seeing us appear and prepare to enter the village, their attention has indeed shifted to us. But he just glanced at it a few more times with the normal eyes of outsiders, and did not say hello, let alone deliberately talk to us.

Everything is normal. The egg hurts

Then we entered the village, because it was already evening, the sky was a little dark, and on both sides of the path, among the occasional house or two, you could see the lights.

"It looks like a small village in the most ordinary way." This is Du Youlan's evaluation.

So far, my impression is the same.

Just continuing to walk for a while, I gradually noticed some anomalies.

"Do you smell it?" I asked.

"What?"

"The smell of the food." I smiled at Du Youlan, and then turned my gaze to a house next to me.

"It smells, but it's not strange."

"Strange."

"Huh?"

"Because I just smelled it."

"Also to ......"

We continued walking, found a suitable home, I walked into the yard, and knocked on the door. There was the sound of stir-frying in the room, which was the sizzling sound of the food just entering the oil pan.

A man opened the door, and when he saw us, he was stunned for a moment, and then asked, "...... are you?" ”

"We came here for a trip, but unfortunately got lost in the mountains during the day. In the evening, I found that there was a village nearby, so I was going to spend the night. Don't know if it's convenient? ”

The man's expression was hesitant, as if he was ready to refuse, but before he could speak, I immediately mentioned: "Don't worry, we'll pay, by the standards of the nearest city hotel, how about it?" Or rather, you set the price yourself. ”

At this moment, the two children poked their heads out of the house, their eyes curious, and they were smiling, like ordinary children.

I smiled at them, then crouched down and took some candy out of my backpack, "Kid, uncle has something delicious here." ”

They immediately came over, looked at me expectantly, and then took the candy from my hand.

Everything looks like there is nothing wrong with it.

The man showed an embarrassed expression, and hurriedly said to the child: "Quick, thank you uncle." Then, opening the door to me, "It's fine, but we have limited conditions, and we can make a bed, but we have to share a room with us." Or ......"

"It's fine." I nodded and smiled, and walked inside.

The house is very simple, the door is directly facing the kitchen, and then it is divided into two rooms, the left and right rooms, and the area is about less than 30 square meters. A woman in her thirties in the kitchen was stir-frying, and she noticed us as well, but because she was a little muddy, she immediately started stir-frying.

"Dude, we haven't had dinner yet, do you mind eating together? But don't worry, the money will be paid too. ”

The man readily agreed to my request, and I began to have dinner with the strange family. After dinner, Du Youlan and I left the house for a while under the pretext of going out for a walk.

"They're not people." This was the first thing I said to Du Youlan after leaving.

"Huh?" Du Youlan's eyes were a little complicated, as if she was expected, and she seemed to be a little curious, so she asked me, "How did you find out?" I thought it was strange, but I didn't know what it was. ”

"They cook food, it's hard enough."

"That's it?"

"No, there's ......" I shook my head, then raised my hand, my fingers covered in dust. It was left by touching the wall when I was helping to serve food in the kitchen, "The kitchen is too clean." ”

Du Youlan seemed to be recalling, she also saw the appearance of the kitchen at that time, "Are you blind?" ”

"I'm not talking dirty, I'm talking about the fact that there is no trace of oil smoke on the walls. When we entered the village, it was dinner time, but there was no smell of food. When we walked for a while, the smell of vegetables suddenly wafted again, as if the whole village was eating at the same time. So, what do you think is the problem? ”

"They...... Never cooked? ”

"Not only that, but they also have the means to get the whole village to receive the signal of outsiders entering. But it must not be a mobile phone, after all, this hellish place, navigation is not used. ”

"Understood."
