"Where is this, why is it so strange. In a quiet town, Meng Wuxian and his party walked on the streets. It was obviously daytime, but all the doors and windows of the surrounding residents were closed, and there was no one on the road, and the whole town was unusually quiet.

"The town seems to be uninhabited anymore. ”

"No, there are still people living here. Lin Qingqing shook his head and denied. "You see, the houses are a little dilapidated, but the doors and windows are all locked from the inside. And there is not much dust on the door of the window, it should be cleaned. ”

"Here... There won't be ghosts, right?" said a female student in the crowd with a little fear, as soon as these words came out, the faces of the female students who were quite timid around them changed instantly, and they looked around with fear, for fear that something strange would suddenly jump out.

"Hugh is talking nonsense, where the hell is it? Don't scare yourself. Lin Qingqing glared at the female classmate and said.

"What the hell? I'd love to see it. Meng Wuxian looked very interested, and he always had great fun with these unknown things.

"Your preferences are truly unique. Yue Ling'er glanced at him a little speechlessly, this guy actually wanted to see the hell, what was he thinking about in his head.

"You..."

"Ahh suddenly appeared behind the crowd, and frightened everyone, and even those who were timid were so frightened that they screamed.

"What is it called, beware of being kicked out. The rickety old man tapped the ground with the cane in his hand, and there was a hint of anger in his voice.

"What are you shouting, all the fuss. Lin Qingqing scolded, and then said to the old man with a slight apology: "I'm really sorry, these students of mine haven't seen anything in the world." ”

"This is secondary, old man, I know what I look like, and I should be afraid. ”

"Uh..." Meng Wuxian was speechless at the moment, this old man didn't scare him, but the sudden screaming of this group of people startled him.

"You're from outside. The old man glanced at the crowd and said.

"Yes, we passed through here to find a place to stay, but..." Lin Qingqing didn't say anything more halfway through his words, but glanced at the closed doors around him a little strangely.

"Come with me, and I'll show you a place to stay. With that, the old man took the lead in stepping forward.

"Teacher, should we follow? ”

"Don't do it, it's so scary here, let's get out of here. A rather timid student said.

"yes, let's go somewhere else. Several other students chimed in.

"If you go, I'm going to stay here. Despised this group of cowardly rats in his heart, Meng Wutearfully followed.

Seeing Meng Wuxian drifting away, Lin Qingqing frowned, and then decided: "There are no other villages or towns around here, and it's getting dark, so I have no choice but to rest here for the night." ”

"Isn't it?"

"Teacher..."

"Don't even say it, if you don't want to be left alone, hurry up and keep up. Ignoring the students' complaints, Lin Qingqing took the lead in following. As for the group of students, the teachers are gone, where else can they go? No matter how reluctant they are, they have to stay.

"This uncle, why do all the people here stay in the house. On the way, Meng Wuxian walked side by side with the old man without mind, asking this and that along the way, the old man was also very interested, and answered Meng Wuxian's questions one by one.

"It's not that they want to stay in the house, it's that they don't dare to come out. ”

"Don't dare?"

"Actually, it used to be as lively as any other town, but three months ago there was an incident that no one dared to step out of the house since. ”

"But if you don't leave the room, how did they survive until now?" Meng Wuxian was puzzled, it couldn't be that this group of people were all powerful people who didn't need to eat and drink.

"Of course it's up to me. The old man straightened his chest and said with a little pride.

"You?"

"That's right, that's me. They hide in the house all day, where is the source of food? That's where this comes in handy, every day I have people go door to door to deliver water and food. Then charge a high price. ”

"By the way, I don't know what you do. Meng Wuxian suddenly had an expression of remembering something important.

"The old man is just a restaurant owner, and no one has come to my restaurant to eat since that incident. In order to make a living, I came up with such a way to make money. ”

"But they are all scared and don't dare to go out, aren't you afraid?" asked Lin Qingqing, who was walking behind.

"I have something to be afraid of, the big deal is death, Lao Tzu doesn't care. ”

"Since they're so scared, why don't they move out?" Yue Ling'er frowned and wondered slightly, since she was so scared, wouldn't it be good to leave directly?

"If they could, how could they have been huddled in the house. The old man sighed a little wistfully, shook his head and continued to walk forward.

"What does he mean by this?" Meng Wuxian felt a little strange, there was definitely something strange in this.

"Here, this is my restaurant. The old man pointed to the slightly dilapidated corridor in front of him.

"This is also a restaurant, it's too broken, isn't it? Looking at the ruined restaurant in front of him, Huang Yi's mouth opened wide. This is also a restaurant? Normally, he won't live in this kind of house.

"If you don't want to stay, you can leave. With a cold snort, the old man pushed open the door and walked in.

"Boss, do you have anyone to live here?" Yue Ling'er looked at the emptiness in the house, except for a guy who was sweeping the floor, and there was no second figure at all.

"No, you are the first guests in these three months. The old man replied truthfully.

After arranging a place to stay, Meng Wuxian came to the hall, and at this moment it was already dark, and there was no second person in the hall except for the boss sitting there reading the account book.

"Boss, if you have anything to eat, I'm starving. Walking up to the old man, Meng Wu asked while rubbing his stomach with tears.

"The man went to deliver food, and when he came back, he would make you something to eat. ”

"Oh. After answering, Meng Wuxian was about to leave.

"By the way, don't go out and walk around if it's okay, be careful of something unclean. ”

Unclean things? Meng Wuxian's eyes lit up, and he turned around and asked, "You mean, there are really ghosts here?"

"There are no ghosts, but they are much scarier than ghosts. The boss slowly raised his head and said in a strange manner.

"Really, can you tell me what that thing is?"

"You still don't have to know too much, go back to your room and rest. ”

Seeing that the other party was unwilling to answer, Meng Wutear's eyes rolled and he found a place to sit down. "I'll wait here for a while, when that guy of yours comes back and cooks for me. ”

Late at night, Meng Wuxian was sleeping soundly on the table, but he was suddenly woken up, and the person who woke him up was the shopkeeper.

"Hey, how did I fall asleep. Rubbing his sleepy eyes, Meng Wuxian said with a little doubt. "Is the guy back, can you cook for me?"

"Not yet. Seeing that Meng Wuxian woke up, the boss turned around and walked towards his room.

"Why, it's so late, why hasn't he come back yet. ”

"I don't think you have to wait. The boss, who was going upstairs, suddenly stopped. "He probably won't be able to come back. ”

"Can't come back?" Meng Wuxian felt that he had something to say, how could he not come back for no reason?

"That's right, it's better that he doesn't come back. The old man's tone was full of helplessness, and he sighed and prepared to go back to his room to rest.

"What do you mean by that?" Meng Wuxian was about to break the casserole and ask to the end, when he heard a strange cry from outside the house.

"Giggle...... Uh......h Woo......"

It was accompanied by the sound of a person walking slowly.

"What is this?" Meng Wuxian asked suspiciously.

"Shhhh The boss motioned to Meng Wuxian not to speak, and the whole person looked extremely nervous, as if something terrible had happened.

"Woo... Woo... Uhhhh

"Did you hear any strange noises from her?" asked Yue Ling'er, who didn't know when she came out of the room, timidly.

After a while, the people in the room came out one after another.

"It's just the sound of the strange beasts running to the town, what's strange. "The boss looks like he's making a fuss.

"Alien beasts, this voice doesn't sound like it came from alien beasts..."Lin Qingqing asked suspiciously.

"Boss, what are you still hiding at this time?"

"That's right, tell us that there won't be a piece of meat missing. ”

No matter what you say, the old man remained silent, and for a while, everyone looked at me and I looked at you, and fell into silence.

"Listen, there is no strange sound. One of the students said with a little surprise, a hint of joy welling up on her face, she didn't want to meet anything strange.

Everyone pricked up their ears and listened carefully, and found that they really couldn't hear any strange sounds.

"You'd better act tonight as if it never happened. The boss said something inexplicable and went back to the room, leaving everyone looking at each other, full of doubts and unable to find an answer.

"Alright, let's go back to our rooms and rest. Lin Qingqing pointed out. When everyone saw the teacher speak, they went back to their rooms.

"What happened?" After everyone left, Lin Qingqing asked Meng Wuxian in tears. He was the first to come out, so he might know something.

Shrugged his shoulders and spread his hands, Meng Wuxian had an expression that I also wanted to know.

I don't know exactly what happened, but the voice was definitely not the voice of a strange beast. Sounds like... Dead... Cry.

Something strange is definitely going on in this town, but what is it? The boss has been hiding it, why is he reluctant to tell the truth? What is that voice?

A series of doubts filled his heart, making Meng Wuxian feel no sleep at all.

"Forget it, let's cultivate. I really couldn't sleep, so Meng sat cross-legged and began to cultivate without tears.
