Huo Jingchuan and Song Liancheng walked in the direction of the black smoke, and the further they went, the wider their field of vision became.

Song Liancheng looked at the thatched house in front of him, and the big lantern, the things here were completely different from those in the city.

Very few houses are made of bricks, and this looks like a village, with an iron cage outside the door of each house with a big rooster inside.

Song Liancheng looked at the new things in front of him and was very curious, and pulled Huo Jingchuan to the red brick house.

Song Liancheng looked at the wooden door in front of him and was stunned, the doorknob of his door was in the shape of an iron ring, and Song Liancheng didn't know how to open it.

The pedestrians on the road had not seen these two guys yet, and they stopped on the side of the road to take a look.

An aunt happened to pass by and saw so many people gathered there.

"Hey, guys, what's wrong?"

An uncle took a pipe and took a sharp puff, and the smoke came out of his nostrils, causing the people around him to choke on the smoke and cough.

"I don't know where these two guys came from, so they stayed at the door of the village chief's house for a while."

Song Liancheng is not afraid of life, he is self-cooked, and it is better to ask the locals than to explore by himself.

He walked up to the uncle with a smile and asked, "Uncle, my friend and I just arrived in this unfamiliar place, and we wanted to come to find someone, but we don't know where they are." ”

The uncle patted Song Liancheng on the shoulder, smiled and said, "Then you can ask the right person, I have lived in this village for most of my life, there is no one I don't know, you ask." ”

The people around him sighed one day after what Uncle Tian said: "Uncle Zhang, you are really good at bragging~ Who doesn't know that you have only been on this street for most of your life and have never seen you go out of this street, what you said is inevitably too long, right?" ”

Uncle Zhang didn't care, he still looked at Song Liancheng with a smile, and Song Liancheng didn't hide his address from him.

After the uncle heard this, the smile on his face gradually disappeared, and everyone saw that there was nothing to see, so they all went to do their own work.

Huo Jingchuan saw that the uncle's face had become so pale, it seemed that the uncle knew.

"Uncle, do you know where this address is?"

The uncle raised his head in horror and looked at Huo Jingchuan.

"I... I know, this... This is the address of Aunt Liu's house at the end of the village... But but..."

Song Liancheng was not in a hurry, and said unhurriedly: "Uncle, you say slowly, we are not in a hurry." ”

The uncle glanced at him and walked to the other way, "Come with me, let's talk as we go." ”

Huo Jingchuan and Song Liancheng were like two children in front of the uncle, and they each stood aside with the uncle.

The smoke and costumes of the city look out of place here.

"Young man, don't hide it, this place you are looking for is very weird, not long after Aunt Liu came back from the city, people were crazy, her husband was nowhere to be found, and her son didn't know where to go, that room was dark and sloppy from morning to night, and at night there would be a sound of gongs, and it was accompanied by women crying, very weird, almost no one passed by there at night, and they all said that it was not clean."

Huo Jingchuan didn't believe that there were ghosts in this world, and he didn't believe that anyone in this world would go crazy for no reason.

"Uncle, what did that Aunt Liu do before?"

"Hmm~ I heard her talk about this a few years ago, at that time she was not crazy, she was kind, very easy to get along with, the people in the village liked her very much, she would tell everyone interesting things in the city every year when she came back, I remember once she received a letter, saying that it was sent from the city, and hired her to work in the Huo family, with a monthly salary of six thousand, at that time everyone was happy for her for a while, but the good times did not last long, she resigned after working in the Huo family for less than two years, and she was in a very bad mood the night she came back, and no one saw her, so she put herself in the house and couldn't come out."

"Did she tell me why?"

The uncle shook his head and said: "She didn't say it, we all thought she regretted resigning and didn't think much about it, and she would take care of it when she saw it as usual, and then a few days later, she received another letter, but this time she didn't tell everyone anything, she left overnight, and we don't know why she went, until she came back once and she looked crazy, it's really pitiful." ”

Huo Jingchuan listened to his uncle's words and fell into deep thought, there are too many doubts about what happened to this Aunt Liu, but now Aunt Liu, the only one who knows the truth, has also become crazy, and this person can't be testified.

The farther and farther I went, there were more and more houses around me, but they were all thatched huts and no tiles.

Song Liancheng walked around to the uncle and said, "Uncle, where are we going now?" ”

"Go to my house, it's almost dark now, wait until six or seven o'clock, and the voice of Aunt Liu's house will come out again..."

"Uncle, why are there all thatched huts in this area without tiles?"

The uncle smiled after hearing this, "What? Do you dislike my house? Also, it's normal for you kids from the city to look down on thatched huts. ”

"No, uncle, I'm just curious."

"That house is where our village chief lives, and the village chief has a son, and the village chief still expects his son to get ahead, but we don't like his son very much, he has a bad temper, and often steals our chickens, and I also heard that he smokes K. powder, and he is a complete gangster in the city."

The uncle brought them to the house, and he was not afraid of being a bad person, the furnishings in the house were very shabby, Song Liancheng would make a sizzling sound when he sat on the chair, the floor was made of sand and stone, the furniture was made of trees outside, and even the cups were polished by stone.

Huo Jingchuan was afraid that he would eat stones when he drank water.

The uncle asked them to sit and fetch the water by himself.

Song Liancheng also followed out of curiosity, and only Huo Jingchuan was left in the house.

The uncle walked outside with a bucket of water, tied the bucket with a rope, threw it into the well, was silent for a moment, and as soon as the cold and clear water was pulled up by the uncle, he put it on the burden very skillfully, and walked towards Song Liancheng.

"Well, young man, haven't seen it? This water is so sweet that it tastes hundreds of times better than the water in your city! ”

Song Liancheng was very supportive, and wanted to take over the burden but was rejected by the uncle.

"You can't do that, young man."

Song Liancheng scratched his head and smiled, "Yes, yes, yes." ”

The uncle entered the house and poured the water from the bucket into the tank, and the sound of the water was refreshing.

I saw the uncle scoop a spoonful of water with a spoon, pour it into the cup, and hand it to Song Liancheng.

Song Liancheng took it, not daring to speak.

The uncle saw his thoughts, scooped himself a glass of water, and drank it in front of him.

"Look, young man, this water is very clean and drinkable, so you can taste it."
