"Third uncle, why are you ......?"

At this time, the third uncle was wearing a white dress and a thick hemp rope tied around his waist. He held a brass bell in his left hand and a mourning stick in his right hand. The moment I recognized him, the fear in my heart vanished.

But when I saw the man walking behind him, the fear in my heart spread again.

The man had the exact same face as me, and there was not a trace of blood on his pale face. When he walked up to me, I was stunned for a second, but I saw the "I" behind him with his eyes closed and walking quietly forward.

"Third Uncle ......"

The third uncle ignored me, and continued to walk forward with the copper bell in his hand. I stood there stunned for a moment, and then suddenly I felt a chill in my palms.

"Brother Cui Qi."

I looked down at my feet, and suddenly I couldn't help but be stunned again, the child had appeared next to me at some point.

His eyes were white and lackluster, but for some reason I didn't have the fear I had in my heart when I looked at him.

"Let's go, the third uncle has been waiting for you."

"Third Uncle...... You mean him? ”

The little boy nodded very seriously and continued, "Let's go, don't make the third uncle angry, if he wants to be angry, he should scold me again." ”

It could be seen that the boy was very afraid of the third uncle, and he pursed his lips and looked at the third uncle who was about to return to the inn with a face full of grievances.

So I was dragged and dragged back to the inn by the little boy. When I returned to the inn, I saw a man in his thirties sitting in the inn, lying on the ground as if he had fainted.

The third uncle sat on a chair in the middle of the lobby, and he looked at the proprietress beside her while drinking tea.

"Where did he come from?"

"The first few days here."

"You scared him?"

"We don't dare to let him out if you're not here these days."

The third uncle nodded, he looked at me and continued, "Since he has discovered the secret of our Liulin Town, he can't get out alive anymore, and I have brought his body back, find a place to bury it." ”

Corpses?

When I heard these two words, I thought of the two people who had just walked in my mind again. Corpses...... Do you mean I'm dead too? But if I'm dead, what am I now?

After the third uncle finished speaking, a strange smile suddenly appeared on the little boy's face.

He let go of my hand, and then leaned down beside the man and feasted on it. I couldn't help but swallow as I watched the boy gnaw on the man's arm with a face full of enjoyment.

I didn't dare to look any further, so I turned my head to look at the third uncle and asked, "Third uncle, you have been gone for more than 20 years, and you have ...... in the past 20 years."

The third uncle looked at me, and his eyes couldn't help but flash a little tear.

He stood up, walked to me, patted me lightly on the shoulder, and sighed in a low voice, "I pushed you even to come, this is the life of our Cui family." ”

I looked at the third uncle in front of me with a puzzled face, he paused and continued, "You are also frightened tonight, come with me, since the matter has come to this, there is no other way out." ”

The third uncle walked out of the inn, and I followed closely behind the third uncle. At night, the village is quiet, with a village road winding up the hill.

"Third uncle, what kind of place is this?"

"You know, Willow Grove."

"Oh, after you sent me to an orphanage...... Are you living here all the time? ”

When I said this, I felt a little uncomfortable in my heart.

I haven't seen my parents since I was a child, and my only relative is my third uncle. But on the day of my seventh birthday, my third uncle sent me to an orphanage, and my only relative has been gone ever since.

The world is unpredictable, I really didn't expect that my third uncle and I would meet again with such a wonderful experience more than 20 years later.

Follow the third uncle all the way up the mountain, and the village houses around him have disappeared, replaced by rows of large and small graves.

Tombstones stand on the barren hills on both sides of the road, looking particularly desolate and desolate.

"Third uncle, do we still have to move forward?"

The third uncle nodded slightly, he tore off the hemp rope tied around his waist, and said with a smile, "After I leave, this place should be handed over to you, so while I am still conscious, I will take you around this town." ”

"Third uncle, are you going to leave again?"

"Yes, since you're back, it's time for me to step aside."

"Give way?"

After walking for nearly two hours, my third uncle and I finally came to the top of the mountain.

When we came to the top of the mountain, we found that there were three thatched huts on top of the hill, and the surrounding area of these three thatched huts was still full of large and small graves.

The third uncle pushed open the door of the house, and the room was clean without a trace of dust, but when he stepped on the top of the mountain, he could always smell a faint smell of burning.

The things in the room were simple, a table of eight immortals and two chairs, and a bed in the back room.

My third uncle and I sat on the chair, and when we opened the door, we could see the whole of Liulin Town, and except for a few houses at the foot of the mountain, there were all large and small desolate graves.

"Look, sitting on this chair you can see the whole picture of this willow forest town."

"Third uncle, you are ......"

The third uncle looked at everything outside the house and said in a low voice, "Child, do you hate the third uncle?" ”

"I ...... I ......"

"Alas, if it wasn't for the third uncle saying goodbye at the beginning, I had no choice. This is the fate of the Cui family, and the Cui family is destined to not be able to get out of this town. ”

"What do you mean by that?"

"Let me tell you a story, when your grandfather was young, this town of Willow Forest was not what it is now. At that time, Liulin Town was very wealthy, and most of the people living in this town were surnamed Cui, so there was also a nickname Cuijiazhai in Liulin Town. ”

"Cui Jiazhai?"

The third uncle nodded and continued, "Liulin Town is rich, there are fertile fields and rivers here, and the Cui family, who should be happy for their self-sufficiency, lives in fear all day long. ”

"Why is that?"

"The people who live in this town have been instilled with the idea that they should not take a step out of this town, and as long as someone leaves this willow forest town without permission, the whole town will face a disaster."

"That'...... And then what? ”

"The Cui family has been instilled with such thoughts since childhood, so no one has dared to cross this red line since ancient times, but because of the existence of this rumor, everyone in the whole town is in danger, for fear that someone will sneak out and endanger themselves."

"Would anyone really believe such a ridiculous thing?"

"Ridiculous? Maybe that's what your grandfather thought back then. ”
