Chapter 4: Living with Ghosts

I never dreamed that this old man in front of me would be a corpse! No wonder he hasn't moved! No wonder the expressions of those people just now were so weird! No wonder I felt something was wrong!

Now that I think about it, I feel the dead breath on the old man's body!

Seeing that I was nervous, the second uncle poured me a bowl of wine and said, "Don't worry! This village is weird though. However, the people in the village will not hurt you! ”

"How do you know? Have you been here before? ”

For my question, the second uncle did not answer. Still drinking on his own.

Seeing him like this, I stopped talking, picked up the wine bowl in front of me and drank it.

I have to say, the alcohol in this village is too great! When I first started, I didn't feel anything. After a while, I felt like the world was spinning. In the end, I fell asleep directly on the table......

By the time I woke up again, it was completely dark!

I was lying on a clay kang and felt a parchment of my mouth. Rubbing my head in excruciating pain, I sat up from the clay kang.

The moonlight shone into the room through the window, hazy. Make everything around you look not so clear!

I saw a man lying next to me. I thought it was the second uncle, so I didn't think much about it. just shouted: "Second uncle, you tell me the truth." Why are you so interested in this village? ”

The second uncle didn't answer my question, and still lay there quietly.

However, from what I know about the second uncle, the second uncle is definitely a cat counter! At the slightest movement, he would wake up instantly.

So, I asked again, "Is there any secret in this village that I don't know?" ”

The second uncle still didn't speak.

This makes me wonder! Could it be that the second uncle also drank too much? However, this is not in line with his cautious character!

While thinking, I stretched out my hand to shake the second uncle awake.

However, just as my hand touched his skin, my head couldn't help but "buzz". Because, I feel the coldness of the tentacles! This kind of coldness is definitely not the body temperature that a normal person, or a living person, should have!

Don't...... Could it be that the second uncle is dead?

I sat stupidly on the kang with a mess in my head. With the second uncle's ability, it is impossible for something to happen here. No matter how powerful the other party's means are, it is impossible.

I forced myself to calm down and decided to see if the person in front of me was the second uncle first.

So, I pulled out my phone and lit up the display. Prepare to use the cold light of the mobile phone to see the second uncle's face.

I don't turn on the lights for two reasons. For one thing, I don't know where the light switch is here. Second, since the other party has already done something to the second uncle, it will soon be my turn. If I turn on the lights now, I'm likely to be scared.

As the mobile phone display screen was lit up, the faint cold light also emitted out, making the whole room even more weird and terrifying!

Just after I shone the cold light of my mobile phone on my second uncle's face, I couldn't help but exclaim. Then, the whole body quickly went backwards, and the phone also fell out of his hand. With a "pop", it fell on the earthen kang.

This is not the second uncle at all! It's clearly the old man who sat in the high hall before!

Why? Why am I lying here with him? Why do people in this village put a body in their home instead of burying it? Since this person is not the second uncle. So, where is the second uncle?

At this moment, I was going crazy!

Although the mobile phone fell on the earthen kang. However, through the faint cold light, I could still see the old man's body lying there so quietly. A pair of eyes staring at me blankly! I can see a chill in my back!

As time passed, I gradually calmed down. Wrong! Since the second uncle is not here, it means that he is fine. And he didn't leave me here because he ran away alone. It's because it's relatively safer. In this way, he will feel at ease to do things.

As soon as I thought of this, I looked at the old man's corpse again. Sure enough, from the beginning to the present, this corpse has been lying here motionless, without any appearance of a corpse.

Since it was just an ordinary corpse, my heart relaxed a lot. Then, slowly crawling over, little by little, he stretched out his hand, ready to pick up the phone back.

My movements are slow and light! Because I'm afraid that if I make any noise, I'll wake up this corpse in front of me!

Slowly, my hand finally grabbed the phone. Then, he jumped up from the kang and jumped directly to the ground, turned around and was about to open the door and leave. Who knew that the door was actually locked. No matter how hard I tried, I just couldn't open it.

This time, my head started to sweat! I looked at the corpse lying quietly on the kang and couldn't help but start thinking about it in my head.

It was at this moment that I saw a glass window on the side. I can't help but be inspired! That's right! Since the door can't get out, then I can jump out of the window. Thinking of this, I did not hesitate to climb onto the kang again. I opened the window and jumped out of it.

Just as I had just climbed out of the window, there was a sudden moan behind me. It's like the sound that a person makes when he just wakes up and stretches his back.

I was so frightened that my legs went limp, and I fell straight off the windowsill. Then, without looking back, he pulled his legs and ran out of the house.

I chose a dirt path and started running. Now I can be described as panicking! Because I didn't know the roads in the village. Plus, it's night again, and I can't even discern the direction now.

It's so quiet around! Only my footsteps could be heard. This makes me feel the weirdness of the atmosphere here! In general, almost every family in the countryside will have a dog in their yard to take care of the home. However, I have been running for so long, and I have not heard a single dog bark. Is it that there is no one in this village who has dogs at all? Or is it that the dogs in the village are all dead for some reason!

In this deathly quiet atmosphere, all I could do was keep running. It seems that at this time, only non-stop running can give me a sense of security. Or that is the only way to prove that I am still alive.

I'm going crazy at this point! All that came to mind was the old man's sloppy gaze and the image of the bride with a black veil on her head. Even when I pass by an alley, I wonder if something terrible will suddenly pounce out there.

I don't know if it's my mental effect, but I always feel like someone is running after me all the way. I can even hear two very different footsteps!

One is mine, and the other is ......

I don't dare to think about it anymore! I just kept telling myself in my heart that this was just an echo. It's normal to have some echoes running on a stone road in the countryside on such a quiet night.

I ran for a while, and suddenly, I didn't know what was tripping under my feet, and the whole person stumbled. It was not easy to stabilize his body and not fall.

Before I had time to rejoice, I immediately discovered something that almost caused me to have a cardiac arrest!

Behind me, the footsteps continued! And faster and faster, closer and closer to me! It's almost behind me!

I suddenly felt all the hairs on my body stand upside down! The scalp also exploded with a "buzz"! Then, I don't know where the strength came from, so I threw off my legs and ran forward without looking back.

It's not that I don't want to look back, but I don't dare to be scared to death when I see the thing behind me clearly!

That's it, I don't know how long I ran, and that footstep behind me disappeared! And I made a detour to the back of the village.

Suddenly, I noticed a little bit of light flickering in front of me. The sudden sight of light in the darkness is beyond words!

I ran over desperately. However, as I got closer and closer to the light, I was stunned by the scene in front of me!

I saw a large crowd standing in front of me. I've seen all of these people. It's the people in that village. It makes me wonder what they're trying to do in the middle of the night.

And the light I saw before was the torch in their hands!

In front of them lay two black coffins side by side. At this moment, a dozen young and strong young men were digging a pit with shovels on the other side of the coffin. Looks like they're planning to bury the coffin!

At that moment, I suddenly saw through the flickering light of the fire that there were pictures of two people on top of each coffin. The two people in the photo are the bride and groom who got married today!

What's even more weird is that these two people are in the middle of the crowd at this moment.

What do they want to do? Why did a good person bury the coffin in the earth as two living people?

No, it's incredible! I must find my second uncle and tell him what happened here.

Thinking of this, I was ready to leave. However, the moment I turned around, suddenly, I saw a miserable white face appear in front of my eyes! Close to my face!

Faced with this sudden suddenness, I immediately exclaimed! The whole person also "pounced" and fell to the ground. Rolled down a small dirt slope!

When the villagers heard what was going on from my side, they immediately ran over and surrounded me.

After seeing that it was me, the old man at the head couldn't help but ask me, "Why did you get here?" Didn't we lock you in the house? ”
