Chapter 512: The Old Man of the Deserted Village

Looking at the dilapidated threshold covered with green moss in front of me, I tried my best to recall the relevant details, a familiar picture would never appear in people's minds for no reason, and this familiar feeling was very close, as if it happened yesterday, but I just couldn't remember.

"Shall we go in?" Wang Chuyi asked.

I hurriedly waved my hand and said, "Don't worry, I always feel that something is wrong, this village is weird, and it still makes me think about where I have seen this place." ”

I wasn't in a hurry to play the first year, so I just sat on the steps on the side, holding a dog's tail grass in my hand and swaying back and forth.

I turned around again, looked up and looked at the three words of Lin Yincun carefully, and suddenly a scene of Hell Rakshasa appeared in my mind, which made me tremble.

"I remember!"

"Remember?" Wang Chuyi turned his head to look at me and asked.

At the moment when Wang Chuyi turned his head, I suddenly seemed to see that her face had turned into a skeleton without flesh.

The sight flashed by for not even a second, and it didn't even give me any time to fear.

"What's wrong? What are you talking about? Wang Chuyi stretched out his hand and shook it in front of my eyes.

I calmed down a little, reassuring myself that I might have had a delusion, and then said, "This village, I have seen in a book, it is a very old book, I can't remember the title, but I remember the illustration in the book very clearly, it is exactly the same as the gate of the village in front of me, inside is the purgatory on earth, people are suffering great pain and torture, skinning, soldering iron, beheading, and stumps and broken arms everywhere, when I was looking at it, I felt uncomfortable, the scene was terrible. ”

Wang Chuyi frowned, turned his head to look at the gate of the village, and said, "In the book? Why is there an illustration in the book that is exactly the same as here? Could it be that the author has been here? ”

I shook my head and said, "I didn't finish reading that book, maybe I was too young at the time to be impressed by the content of this book, but this picture is deeply imprinted in my mind." ”

At this time, Wang Chuyi's expression became a little nervous, and he asked, "If Huzi really went to this village, then ......?"

It's already eleven o'clock in the evening, and the surrounding environment is dark and scary, plus when we came before, we met a group of barefoot children, I am still a little scared in my heart, and if I want to return the same way at this time, it is estimated that I will have to walk until dawn to reach the place where there are people.

I looked up at the village in front of me, as if it was the only place where we could stay, whether it was true or not, since I had arrived in this place, I decided that I had to go in and have a look, if the real tiger was to settle here, I am afraid the situation would not be too optimistic.

As soon as we entered the gate of Lin Yin Village, we felt a gust of wind blowing towards us, and the wind here was cooler than the mountain wind outside, and I couldn't help but shiver.

The village built a main road to the outermost part, paved with bluestone bricks, covered with green ferns, and further on, yellow leaves began to appear on the ground, covering almost the entire ground.

Seeing this, I couldn't help frowning, it's early summer, when everything is recovering, and the mountains are green, why are there so many withered dead leaves covering the ground here?

Could it be that the leaves fell in winter and the villagers did not clean them up in time?

I looked up and saw that there was not too much vegetation here, and the tallest willow tree was only a little more than two meters, and there were so few of them that it could not form such a large leaf litter.

When I saw this, my heart was shocked, Willow!

I immediately turned around to look in other directions, and sure enough, in the northwest of the village, there was a huge mulberry tree, and in the middle of the village, under a poplar tree, there was half a collapsed house, and the whole village looked very desolate, and always gave people an inexplicable sense of fear.

"It's broken! It's a yin village! This is the land of extreme yin! I exclaimed.

As the saying goes, don't plant mulberry in the front, don't plant willows in the back, and don't plant ghosts in the middle to clap their hands.

"Lao Bai, how do I feel that something is wrong, we could still see a little light when we came here before, but it was still so dark after we arrived in this village? Nothing at all? Wang Chu suddenly approached me consciously, and his hands were already holding my arms.

I had realized that something was wrong, and I immediately decided to leave, and when I turned to walk out of the village, I realized that something was wrong with the gate we had entered! It seems that the position has changed, and I remember that there was a stone more than a person high on the left side of the gate, but now the stone appeared more than three meters to the right of the gate.

At this moment, the vague whisper sounded again, and I raised my flashlight vigilantly to shine around, and suddenly found that there was a rickety old man standing in the southeast corner of the village.

The old man's beard was white, his right hand was on crutches, and the other hand was behind him, just standing quietly, because his hair was too long, I couldn't see the old man's face clearly, but instinctively felt dangerous, in this dark environment, what normal person would stand so silently in a dark corner?

Wang Chuyi desperately tugged at my arm, urging me to leave quickly.

But the old man raised his hand at this moment and motioned for me to come over.

The old man's movements are slow, but there is always a feeling that one cannot refuse.

"Come on."

The old man spoke, a very hoarse and deep voice.

With this 'come', the faint whispering voices that had been lingering in my ears suddenly became sharp.

The shrill voices began to become harsh, and judging by my senses, they seemed to be in a hurry to get angry, perhaps because of the word that the old man had spoken.

"Lao Bai, don't go over." Wang Chuyi grabbed me.

"It's okay, I'll go and see the situation, you follow me, if the situation is not right, you can ......" As I spoke, I said that Wang Chuyi felt out of a May Fourth pistol in his backpack and stuffed it in her hand.

I began to slowly approach the old man, the steps were very small, I was very careful with each step, completely regarded this village as an ancient tomb, every piece of green brick on the ground, I would gently guess when I landed, and after making sure that there was no problem, I would completely step on it.

In this way, when I walked up to the old man, it took almost ten minutes, and during this time, the old man did not make any movement, and the gust of wind that blew in the village did not even blow the old man's white hair.

"Old man, you called me?" I asked.

At this time, the old man slowly raised his head, I looked at it, trembled with fright, and hurriedly took two or three steps back, just because the old man's face had no nose, the whole face was distorted and deformed, the two lips were no longer there, the white teeth were exposed, and the skin around a pair of eyes seemed to have been burned by fire, leaving only two small holes the size of mung beans.

"Don't be afraid, kid, I'm not a bad person."

The old man's voice was still hoarse, as if there was something in his throat, and I stared at him intently, lest I would come out of his mouth and grab me by the collar as in a horror novel.

After keeping a safe distance from the old man, I asked, "Sir, why are you here alone?" ”

"Your time is running out, come in with me, if it's too late, I'm afraid you'll have to stay in this village forever." As he spoke, the old man turned slowly, and right in front of us, stretched out his hand and opened a door in the air, and as soon as the door was opened, the light inside shone out.

Seeing this situation, Wang Chuyi and I were stunned, instinctively nervous, and carefully guarded everything around us.

"Hurry up." The old man urged.

As the door in front of the old man opened, the whole village seemed to light up in an instant.

I hurriedly turned around to look, only to see that every house in the village was lit up, and looking through the window, I could vaguely see the swaying figures, as if every household was busy, ready to clean up the bed and rest.

Seeing this scene, Wang Chuyi's face turned pale with fright, and he hurriedly said, "Thank you, sir, let's go to another house!" ”

As soon as the words fell, Wang Chuyi grabbed my arm and ran in the opposite direction of the old man, until he ran to the door of a private house before stopping.

Just as we turned to run, the old gentleman's voice came from behind him, "Don't go over, come to me." ”

Of course, the two of us ignored the old man's words and knocked on the door of the house in front of us without hesitation.

The figure printed on the window swayed, but no one came to open the door, as if they had not heard the knock at all.

Wang Chuyi knocked on the door again, this time she increased her strength, only knocked twice, and the door opened stubbornly.

This private house is not big, and the door opened a gap the thickness of an arm, and Wang Chuyi was about to push the door in, but I pulled him back.

"Something is wrong, look!" I pointed to the crack in the door.

Looking through the crack in the door, this house is not very large, and you can see the whole house at a glance, the furnishings in this house are very old, if I look at it well, there is a thick layer of ash on the table in front of the bed, and just now we saw a figure shaking in the window, and now when I look through the crack in the door, I can't see anyone.

I couldn't help but turn my head and look at the window again.

Sure enough, you can still see the reflection in the window, but there is no one in the crack of the door!
