Chapter 187: No Man's Land

Although I am very grateful to Peng Zhe, I ...... I have to say that even if the two of us came together, I felt very scared, not to mention that I decided to come by myself......

Just thinking about it makes my scalp tingle.

Although it is in City B, we didn't find out where it was after looking around, and we couldn't find such a place on the map.

It seemed like I had a hard time going out, and I didn't even know where it was, and the boy didn't make it clear......

"Are you sure you've seen that boy before? Why haven't I seen it? Peng Zhe looked at me suspiciously.

I nodded, "You're playing games in an Internet café, of course you don't know......"

It was only written on the Internet that it was in the suburbs of City B, but the suburbs were ...... Now that they have basically become the site of new buildings, where are there so many villages?

When I got off the bus, it was already evening, and it was desolate and scary, except for the construction site.

"Look over there, is there a house?" Peng Zhe pointed to the distance where the lights were lit up in the distance.

I squinted and looked at it as if ...... There are indeed people, but visually we are at least a few kilometers away from there.

"Are you sure you want to walk over there? Is there a hotel or anything here...... "Even if it's the kind of hotel that Meiling has before, I can accept it now, and I can't stay at someone's house all the time......

"If you can find me, count you as a winner." Peng Zhe gave me a blank look.

As a result, we could only follow the starry lights, and I don't know how long we walked, and my phone suddenly rang......

I was taken aback by the fact that it was ...... in the middle of the night. I quickly took out my phone, the light was dazzling, and I finally got used to the brightness, but I saw a ...... Weird news.

[Keep going ......]

This text message ...... I quickly glanced at the message above, this is ...... That boy!? The boy whose name he doesn't know!?

Why did he suddenly get a text message!?

My hands suddenly trembled, and my hands holding the phone were a little unsteady......

"What's wrong with you? It's ......" Peng Zhe glanced at my phone.

"It's ...... This is the nameless boy. I swallowed hard and explained, but ...... I don't even know his name.

"He's ...... Tell us to keep going? After listening to my explanation, Peng Zhe's tone became a little strange......

I nodded, and suddenly I felt as if I was ...... There was a sight around us that was watching us, but we didn't know where it was......

But it's ten o'clock now, and we're still far from the light......

……

I found a place where I could shelter from the wind, and we just made do with it all night, but I really didn't sleep all night, one was cold, and the other was ...... Afraid.

The wind whistled in my ears, and I didn't feel sleepy at all.

The next day, we could see exactly where it was, but ...... Except for that one person...... It seems that there is no one living in the barren forest all around.

If I hadn't seen the lights yesterday, I even wondered if it would have been deserted......

After walking forward for a while, I could gradually see the house clearly, the small two-story building stood there lonely, the mottled wall skin on it had all fallen off, and it looked like an antique.

I slowly approached, only to see that the window was open......

Curiosity made me look cautiously in—

But before I could get closer, a voice suddenly came from behind me! I was so scared that my whole body stiffened!

"What are you doing!?" That angry rebuke appeared behind me out of thin air, and I immediately turned around and saw an old man-like man standing behind us in displeasure!

I glanced at Peng Zhe, and he seemed to be taken aback.

"I'm sorry we were just passing by......," I explained, but the old man kept looking at us as if he could see something in them.

"Who are you?" As he finished looking, his tone gradually slowed down, but he still looked at him scrutinically.

I was uncomfortable with the sharp eyes that didn't match his age, but I explained it to him anyway.

"You mean, you're looking for an uninhabited village?" After listening to my explanation, his expression became even more strange.

I nodded quickly, but Peng Zhe grabbed me and shook my head invisibly.

I was stunned, I always told things without thinking about it...... I don't know if this old man knows......

"That...... Uncle is fine, let's go first, we have to hurry......" I smiled at him, Peng Zhe pulled me and wanted to slip away.

But when I passed by him, I heard him say something suddenly.

"Stop." Although there were only two words, it made the two of us stunned in place, and the voice ...... It makes people want to be obedient......

Turn your head...... But he still maintained his previous position, standing there quietly.

"Are you okay?" I had the courage to ask, I don't know if it's because I'm peeking at other people's homes because my heart is weak, I just don't feel confident......

"If you want to know about the uninhabited village, there will be no such shop after this village." He gave us both a cold look, and there was ...... in his eyes It's a light of unknown meaning that I can't understand.

But...... If he really knew about the uninhabited village, wouldn't it be ...... Effortless?

I glanced at Peng Zhe, and he also looked at me with some confusion.

But...... Almost the next second, we nodded to each other, it's not the same thing to go any further now, there is an endless wasteland in front of us, who knows what year and month we will go.

It's better to ask a little bit about it here.

If you can't do it, you can still go, and there is nothing to lose anyway.

Although his house was a small two-story building, it looked a little dilapidated, and there was a small side house next to it, and the door was locked.

"You can't go in the side room over there." As if he had seen my eyes, the old man said warningly.

I nodded quickly, I was just curious, but the room that looked so weird...... I didn't dare go in.

"The two on the left hand side of the second stairs are your rooms, one for each person." He pointed to the top of the stairs and said.

The staircase that had fallen into disrepair would make a 'squeak' sound when you stepped on it, and goosebumps rose all over my body when I listened to it.

When I went upstairs, there were three rooms on the left hand side of the stairs, and I was about to go inside, when the old man's voice came from underground.

"Two rooms at the top of the staircase."

When I opened the room at the door, there was immediately a smell of dust in my face, and I don't know how long no one had lived here.

The room looked old, messy and littered with messy things, except for a spot on the bed that looked cleaner.

After cleaning up for a long time, I thought that this room could be occupied, and I went next door to take a look at Peng Zhe's room and found that it was a similar situation.

But...... Why did he insist that it was the two rooms at the door? The innermost room......

I couldn't help but look inside, it was a different door from ours, it looked more retro, with intricate patterns on it.

"It's mysterious—" I whispered to Peng Zhe as I turned around, but I wasn't finished yet......

When I turned around, I suddenly found an old man standing in front of me!

I was startled and took a few steps back before I could recover......

He walks without a sound...... He stood behind us and looked at us coldly, glancing at the door of the room inside.

"Don't go to that room or the side room downstairs, and say it one last time, or ......" He didn't finish his words, but his eyes were enough to warn us.

I nodded wryly, for some reason I always felt like I was ...... in front of him There is a feeling of lack of confidence.

"Come down and eat." After he said this, he went down, and I was secretly relieved.

"This old man is really interesting...... Peng Zhe shrugged helplessly with me.

……

I thought dinner would be the simplest bun or something, but ...... When I went downstairs, I was stunned!

In addition to the four dishes and one soup, there are even things that look like desserts......

This is......

"You did it?" I looked at the old man in disbelief, he definitely didn't look like someone who would prepare a meal with such fanfare, especially from the attitude he had just given us......

He nodded, sat there and started smoking.

I was so hungry that I ate deliciously.

But after eating halfway, I realized that it was me and Peng Zhe who were eating until now, and the old man didn't move his chopsticks.

"Aren't you going to eat it?" I gave him a strange look, and he seemed to be watching us both eat......

"I'm not in the habit of eating dinner, you eat." He shook his head, lit another cigarette, and smoked it himself.

If you don't eat it, don't eat it...... I'm going to have to fill my stomach anyway, at least for the next day or two.

……

"Do you think this old man is a little strange?" Peng Zhe glanced around and asked in a whisper in my ear.

We were in his room, and the old man seemed to have gone to bed.

"I think, but...... It doesn't seem to be much other than that his personality is a little weird...... "Looking back, I didn't notice any strange behavior from him, huh?"

"That's what I'm talking about, it's really ......" Peng Zhe shrugged his shoulders.

I sighed helplessly, I had just mentioned the matter of the uninhabited village to the old man, but he said that he would naturally tell us when the time was right, and he didn't say what day it was.

Didn't you tell us to stay here forever?

I was also a little anxious, and I could only ask for a week of leave with the instructor, and I couldn't do anything more!

But now we've been out for two days, and we haven't come here yet.

I'm even more worried, how should I explain when I go back?

"Don't think about it, if you urge it tomorrow, maybe he'll tell us?" Peng Zhe yawned and said, "Go back to sleep first, I'm sleepy." ”

Then he lay down in bed and fell asleep......

I had no choice but to go back to my room, but when I just went out, I seemed to feel a gaze watching me, and I subconsciously glanced at the door inside.

But there's nothing there, is that my delusion? I did feel like there was a sight there the moment I just came out......

After one last curtling look, I hurried back to my room and locked the door.

But...... I always felt like there was something different in the room, but I couldn't tell where it was......

I just think it's a little strange to look at.

Lying on the bed, I closed my eyes but I didn't feel sleepy at all, I don't know if I ate too much at night, and now I still feel a little panicked.

I had no choice but to roll out of bed and wander around the room, where the floor looked better than the outside, at least without the strange 'squeak' sound.

After strolling around for a while, I was about to go to bed when I heard a strange 'stab' sound outside!

I was immediately frightened, and the voice ...... It seems to be coming from the direction of downstairs, but ......

But I didn't dare to go downstairs, it was already midnight, and there was not even a single light in the room except for the moonlight.

But the strange sound disappeared after that once, and I quickly lay down.

Maybe the old man came out and bumped into any furniture...... I'm still here to scare myself.

Shaking my head helplessly, I closed my eyes and prepared to sleep, but ......
