Chapter 183: A Strange Village
The shopkeeper didn't know what he was thinking, but suddenly his face changed greatly, and he pulled me out, and then there were words in his mouth, and I couldn't hear what he was reading, but he looked frightened, as if he was afraid of something.
I don't understand, could it be that there are really ghosts living in the room? And it's a very powerful kind, otherwise the shopkeeper wouldn't be like this, right?
"You don't see anything, do you?"
I returned to my room, and was about to close the door to sleep, when the shopkeeper suddenly appeared in front of me, with a look of obvious displeasure, as if he wanted to blame me.
"No, I didn't see anything."
I wanted to tell him everything I had just seen, but after thinking about it, I still didn't say it.
"That's right, if you see something, how can you still be so alive, I'm afraid that you will have lost your life for a long time."
The shopkeeper scratched his head, said a word to himself, and then explained a few words to me, telling me not to go out again, not to open the door of other rooms, otherwise he would not care if something happened.
When he was done, he turned and went back.
I lay back on the bed, remembering the shopkeeper's frightened expression just now, as if I was afraid of something.
But what was it that could make him so scared?
Could it be that there is a demon living in that room that the shopkeeper can't even mess with?
Now that things have developed, I can be sure that this is indeed a ghost shop, and this is the place for ghosts to stay.
But why did I survive? Was the foot that stepped on me a dream or was it real?
I don't understand, it's so weird how strange all this happened, what do so many mounds of graves, which mausoleum look like a palace, are portending to me?
I was tired of thinking about it, so I fell asleep in a blur.
When I woke up the next day, Grimace woke me up, and as soon as I woke up, Grimace threw me a bronze mirror and told me to find myself.
I'm weird, why did you give me a bronze mirror?
And this guy with grimace looks very energetic, it seems to be getting better, and there is no such situation as yesterday.
I picked up the bronze mirror and looked at him suspiciously, and then I looked at me in the bronze mirror!
"Ah~~~"
When I saw me inside the bronze mirror, I was so frightened that I threw the bronze mirror out at once, and the bronze mirror fell to the ground, although it was a wooden floor, but it still made a screeching sound, and I felt uncomfortable listening to it.
As for why I screamed all of a sudden, it was because there were dark circles around my eyes, and it wasn't the kind that turned black after staying up all night, and I can't say what it was.
In addition to the dark circles under my eyes, my entire lips became dark purple, and even my complexion did not look bloody, dark and dark, which was very abnormal.
I wondered, how did it suddenly become like this? Could it be that the essence was absorbed by a ghost last night?
But I can't, I didn't do anything with the ghost, but I almost lost my life, so it can't be like this, right?
I feel like we're kind of dramatic, yesterday the grimace was like me, today he's better, but I'm the same as he was yesterday.
"How's it going, do you want to leave today?"
Grimace asked me with a smile, looking a little smug. This is the first time I've ever seen a grimace smiling, and if I hadn't become like this, I'm afraid I wouldn't have seen him smile, right?
"Let's go, of course you have to go, this is a ghost shop, you can stay here for one more night if you're not afraid."
With that, I got up and put on my shoes.
"Guest, you have to pay attention!"
After eating, we checked out and left, and before I could step out the door, the shopkeeper said a word to me.
"Shopkeeper, can you explain a little bit more?"
I turned around suspiciously and looked at the shopkeeper, who was about to say something, but before he could say anything, it was as if he had seen something, and his eyes were full of horror.
Then he shook his head, and did not want to say a word, I wondered what he had just seen, and he looked around, but there was nothing.
I also knew that the shopkeeper would not talk to me anymore, so I thanked him and left the inn.
Later, when I remembered his frightened expression at that time, I felt that this matter, I was afraid that the hidden danger was still to come.
With a sense of foreboding, I looked around, and there was nothing around, but I always felt like somewhere, a pair of eyes were staring at me.
Such thoughts can never linger anywhere.
Since one of me and Grimace looked like no one or a ghost, and the other looked obviously abnormal, we made a lot of jokes when we went to buy some steamed buns, cakes, and beef to eat on the way.
Especially when the shop that sells steamed buns saw the two of us, he was so frightened that he barely got into his steamer, and finally we shouted for a long time, and then he shrank his head and came out.
We also bought a lot of his buns, but this guy not only did not have the slightest excitement, but kept a bitter face, as if the two of us were dead stars, which affected his business and was unlucky.
The rest of the day I lay in the carriage, and when I knew that he was hungry and wanted to eat something and rest for a while, I came out to eat two buns and some beef with him, and drank a few sips of wine when he was done.
"Childe, are you from Rugao or do you have something to do with Rugao?"
I don't know why, Grimace asked me this sentence all of a sudden, we've been walking for so long, Grimace has never asked me this question, and today he asked me this question out of the blue, and I think it's a little weird.
I looked at him deadly, didn't say a word, he seemed to be looked at by me like this, a little uncomfortable, and said again after a long time: "I just asked casually, there is no other meaning, only two hundred miles ahead is Rugao County." ”
I casually agreed to him, and I didn't say much, to be honest, this place in Rugao is still what Wang Jie told me is my home's address, and it is Maoxiang's address.
When the time comes to Rugao, how will I go back to Mao Xiang's home, how to find Mao Xiang's family, I really don't know what to do.
Now I'm a presumptuousman, but I don't know his old memories, and that's what gives me the most headache.
"Today we can't catch up with Rugao, I'm afraid we have to stay for another night, let's take a walk again, see if there is any place to stay or have an inn to stay, we can go to Rugao tomorrow."
Grimace, let's get in the car. This time he was catching the car faster, I don't know if he wanted to send me to Rugao as soon as possible, he could finish the errand as soon as possible, or if he wanted to find a place to stay earlier.
We didn't encounter anything strange along the way, but we didn't find a place to stay, and Grimace was still there muttering to himself, and it seemed that we would have to spend the night in the carriage today.
But as he spoke, we happened to cross a mountain pass, and at this moment a large village appeared in front of us, and it seemed that there were no less than a hundred or so families, and this was a large village.
And when I look at it, the lights are reasonably bright, and I feel like I'm back in the night of a modern city.
Seeing that the big mistake was in front of him, the grimace's eyes lit up, and he scolded, and the horse galloped towards the village.
Entering the village, a strange scene appeared, although every household here was lit up and lanterns were lit, but there was no one in the family.
Walking on the road, Grimace knocked on the doors of several families one after another, but there was no response.
"We're not going to be hit by ghosts again, are we?"
It's so deserted here, it's so quiet, and it gives people a strong chill.
What happened during this time also gave me a shadow, as long as something was wrong, I would think of the word ghost hitting the wall, and I felt that I had encountered a ghost again.
"No, where are so many ghosts hitting the wall, there should be something going on in this village."
Although Grimace said so, I felt that he was also weak-hearted, and I watched him drive the carriage on, but the hand holding the reins was constantly trembling.
"Why are all the people there?"
Just when we were all about to come to an end, in front of us, there were many people gathered, densely packed, and there was a feeling that there was no end in sight.
Grimace was also wary at this time, and told me to be careful for a while, this place doesn't seem so simple.
The horses slowly pounded, and the wooden wheels under the cart made a gurgling sound. I usually feel normal when I hear such a silhouette sound, but at this moment, this situation and this scene makes my heart rise to my throat.
I was so nervous, so nervous that I could hear the grimace's breathing, let alone my own breathing, and it was quiet, with no sound except the grunt of wheels and the sound of horses' hooves.
The names of the villages standing did not seem to be able to hear the sound of horses' hooves or wheels on our side, and none of them looked back at us.
As we got closer, we heard a slight voice, like a cry, the cry of an old woman and an old woman.
It seems that she is crying about how her woman has such a bad life, why she went at a young age.
Hearing these voices, the general situation can also be judged, this is a dead person, and it is no wonder that there are so many village names gathered there.
It's just that I wonder why all the people in this village go when they die? And what's even more strange is that every house has a light on.
Is this their custom, or is it something to worship?
