The old man left, and a few of us stayed where we were, stunned for a while, before Sister Yang looked at us with a wry smile and said, "There are still seven rooms left, let's discuss it and see what the distribution method is." ”

As soon as Sister Yang's words fell, Wang Xi, Dong Qian and the middle-aged couple took the lead in standing up and saying that they wanted to live together. We weren't surprised by this, and then the fat man and Xiao Li also wanted one. In the end, there were eight of us left, and Longhair had a holiday with me, and the doctor and I were in the same group, and he was worried about reprisals against the doctor or me, so he took the initiative to partner with the driver.

Ling Rou and Xia He are best friends, so naturally they want to live together, so there are only the three of us and the tour guide Sister Yang left in the group. Sister Yang looked at me and Luo Yi with some embarrassment, and then looked at the doctor, her face a little embarrassed. In her opinion, Luo Yi and I must be a couple, otherwise it would be impossible to be so close along the way, and when the little couple comes out, they naturally want to live together, but if I live with Luo Yi, then wouldn't she have to live with the doctor?

Naturally, I couldn't live with Loy, not to mention that we weren't the kind of relationship she imagined, and even if it was, I couldn't leave the doctor alone! So he hurriedly said: "Sister Yang, I live with the doctor, and Luo Yi will live with you!" ”

"Ahh How does this work? Sister Yang's face was a little red, very embarrassed, and looked at Luo Yi, as if she wanted to ask for her opinion.

Luo Yi stuck out his tongue, looked at me sadly, and said, "You have said so, is it possible that people still have the cheekiness to rely on you?" ”

After speaking, she grabbed Sister Yang's arm, took a bite of Sister Yang, her mouth was so sweet, and she pulled Sister Yang upstairs.

I looked at the figures of the two of them disappearing at the corner of the stairs, a little stunned, the doctor patted me, with a helpless face, "It seems that I have ruined your good deeds, and the girl seems to be looking forward to living with you!" ”

I rolled my eyes, ignored him, and went upstairs with the key. The room is not the same as I imagined, it is black and rumbling, I haven't found the switch of the light for a long time, the doctor shines on the ceiling, and helplessly tells me that there is no electric light inside, I look up, it's really like that, and suddenly I think about what the innkeeper just said, the candle must be extinguished, I damn it, there should be no electricity here, right?

The space of the guest room is larger than that of a typical hotel room, except for the carved and hollowed out black wood bed, there is a round table in the middle, a screen in the opposite corner, and a large bathtub in the back.

The environment here is generally quite good, antique, the only regret is that there is no electricity, some are not very convenient, it seems necessary to plan the use of mobile phones and cameras for power.

By the time we had cleaned up our room, it was already completely dark, and I opened the openwork window of my room to look out, only to see that the whole ancient town was hidden in the night, and only the light came out of the scattered wooden buildings. I felt a little strange and said what happened to those people who didn't have the lights on? Could it be that everyone here goes to bed so early?

The desertion of the town makes me feel a little abnormal, but when I think of the remoteness of the ancient town, I am immediately relieved, all I saw on the street just now are old people, and there are no young people, I think it should be out to beg for a living, no wonder the town is so deserted.

There was the street under the window, but there was no one on the street at the moment, I looked at the time, it was only half past seven, and I was a little depressed, I still wanted to go out and see if I could find a shop that sold food, after all, I had not eaten anything since the morning. But looking at the current situation, it is estimated that it is useless to go out.

Thanks to my foresight, I also bought some dry food when I was shopping, otherwise I wouldn't have starved tonight! I took some compressed biscuits out of my bag, shared them with the doctor, ate some with water, and felt less hungry. Since the backpack was carried by me and the doctor, all the purchases were with us, and just as I was thinking about whether to bring some dry food to Roy, there was a knock on our door.

"Oh, why did you two choose such a corner room, so that I can find it!"

It was Luo Yi who knocked on the door, I just opened the door, she complained to me, I spread my hands helplessly, saying that the key is the last one you choose, and I can't help it!

With that, I welcomed her in, and after she entered the room, she looked around, muttering how it was the same as their room, and I was speechless for a while, and my heart said Isn't it the same, is it possible to arrange a room for each style?

Luo Yi came to us not just to see the room, she told us that tomorrow morning Sister Yang organized a tour of several attractions in the ancient town and asked us if we would go. I looked at the doctor, and he gave me a casual look, realizing that he would go with me. So I hurriedly asked Luo Yi if she was going, and the little girl's big eyes were spinning, and she said with a shrewd look: "I'm not going, I'm here to explore the secret, how boring it is to follow them!" I'm going to go out on my own, yes, say, do you want to go? ”

I laughed and half-jokingly said why are you not going to go to me? Luo Yi smiled, her big eyes narrowed into crescents, and patted me on the shoulder with great satisfaction. The matter was finalized, I took some dry food for Luo Yi to take back, and gave her a flashlight, after all, there is no electricity here, and it is really inconvenient at night.

Soon after Roy left, there was another knock at our door, this time it was the innkeeper who had come to deliver food. I didn't expect the inn to have food delivered so late, I was a little surprised, but I still took it. The old man was also a strange man, and he was not cold to us, and did not talk to us, as if he knocked on the door just to complete the task of delivering food, came with a blank face, and left with a blank face.

I complained in my heart, and said that it was no wonder that even the guy was not invited, with his attitude, it was a miracle that the store was not closed.

The doctor asked me what I was sending, I opened the oilcloth bag and looked at it, and found that it was half a roast chicken and rice, and immediately smiled bitterly, if it was just now, I would have been unable to help but move, but now we have eaten compressed biscuits, and I didn't feel anything when I first ate it, but after soaking it in my stomach with water, I immediately stood up, and now I am holding it up so hard that I can't eat anything.

The doctor was in a similar situation to me, so I rewrapped my things and threw them on the table, intending to eat them when I was hungry.

We were all very tired from the bumpy day, and there was no electric light here, so we went to bed early. The lights go out, this is the innkeeper's advice, but the range of the time is very long, between seven and nine o'clock in the evening, I don't know if he refers to seven o'clock, or nine o'clock, but it doesn't matter to us anymore, at half past eight, the doctor blew out the paper lamp, and the room fell into a deep darkness, and I soon fell asleep.

……

I don't know how long I slept, but I woke up with a biting chill and found that the wind was blowing on me, and I didn't know when the quilt was kicked off. I rubbed my eyes and looked at it, and found that there was night in the room, and the window was open, and the cold wind was blowing in through the window.

The wind in late autumn was cold and inexplicable, I shivered, got up from the bed with my body in my arms, and went to the window to close the window, but suddenly heard movement outside, as if it was footsteps, one by one, very rhythmic, some like the sound of walking in college military training, neat and powerful, and the sound is very long, not one or two people can make it.

I wondered, looking at the night outside the window, it must be early before dawn, how could there be such footsteps on the street?

Thinking about it, I put my head out the window to see what was going on on the street. At first glance, I thought I was mistaken, but I saw that the bluestone-paved open streets were dotted with countless people, dressed very similarly to those of the townsfolk we had seen in the evening, all dressed in the same way as they were not earthy, all standing erect in an irregular manner, with their hands raised flat, all the way from the depths of the street, towards the direction from which we came. What creeps me out is that these people move forward in a very strange way, jumping and jumping, their movements are extremely stiff, and they all have a piece of paper on their foreheads, a piece of paper that I am very familiar with, which is the yellow charm often used by Taoist priests!

I was immediately frightened, and a thought flashed through my mind: zombies.

Jingle bells, jingle bells......

Just when I was so frightened that the three souls lost two souls, a crisp copper bell came from the front of the corpse group, I resisted the fear in my heart, turned my head to look in the direction of the bell, and suddenly saw a thin figure covered in sackcloth standing in front of the corpse group. Unlike the others, he was covered in sackcloth and could not see anything from behind him, but he was the only one of the countless figures who walked normally.

The thin figure held a white cloth spirit banner in his left hand, and a bronze lamp was tied to the top of the soul sail, and the light jumped, emitting a faint but bright yellow flame. And on his right hand, a palm-sized copper bell shook very rhythmically, emitting a crisp light sound, and with each ringing of the bell, the group of corpses behind would jump forward.

This strange scene instantly reminded me of a word: chasing corpses.
