The topography of Xiazhuang is very unique, Zhuangzi faces southeast and sits on a cliff more than ten meters high, and behind it is a knife-like cliff, and the two wings spread out to encircle Xiazhuang. I don't know what feng shui is, but I also feel very comfortable when I look at this terrain, but in the middle of the gray and white rock face, there is another black mark, wide at the top and narrow at the bottom, just like a long sword hanging upside down, adding some sadness to the comfort.

But in any case, the cliffs behind it blocked the cold wind from the northwest, and also left the moist and warm sea breeze from the southeast. It must be very comfortable to live in this small village, and it is really incomprehensible that such a good place will be abandoned.

The road to Xiazhuang is accumulated little by little by the people of Xiazhuang over the years, and it is difficult to describe the cramped and difficult places, and they have to stop several times to clean the dirt in the huge wheels of the off-road vehicle to get more grip. It took less than four hours to drive from the unit to the bottom of the mountain, and when the car gasped and climbed up to the last hill and stopped in front of the village, it was almost five o'clock.

Stand next to the off-road vehicle that seems to be still panting and look at this mysterious ancient village. As the sun set, the shadow of the mountain behind the village devoured the countless black broken eaves remnants in this ancient village like some kind of spreading life. We stood there, and when the shadow reached my feet, I couldn't help but shrink back.

There was still a golden afterglow below the mountain, and we were already immersed in a shadow. I felt a chill all over me, and the village, which had no sign of life in front of me, became horrible and terrifying.

Liu Shixin turned on the headlights, stuck his head out of the window and shouted, "Brother An, let's not go in after this order, let's just rest here!" ”

It would be better to kill me if I wanted to enter this village at night, although we are pressed for time now, it is definitely not a good choice to go in at night, if nothing else, the incident at the gun depot many years ago shows that this village is definitely strange. Take a good rest first, and when you go in at dawn, you will definitely get twice the result with half the effort. With this idea in mind, I agreed, and a group of people gathered firewood to make a fire and boiled some canned food or something. After eating, a group of people chatted for a while, and gradually felt bored, leaving Liu Dongxi on duty, and each found a place to sleep.

I choose to sleep in the car, no matter how many times I have slept in the wilderness, I still can't get used to sleeping by the fire, giving my back and the top of my head to a space full of unknowns, or I like to curl up in a small space and feel the solid security around me to sleep.

My mind was completely quiet with all kinds of thoughts, and after a while of tossing and turning in the back seat, I was really uncomfortable, so I simply got up and put on my shoes and got out of the car.

Lu Yan sat by the fire with a blanket and the short spear in his arms, while Liu Dongxi and Ge Haoran slept on the ground. I walked over and pushed Lu Yan and whispered, "I'm on duty, you go to sleep!" ”

Lu Yan looked at me and suddenly said, "Sit here, don't leave!" ”

I saw that he was solemn, and although I didn't know what it meant, I nodded and agreed.

Lu Yan pinched my shoulder, sat down with his back against the tire and facing the fire, and covered the blanket over his head......

The night amplified all the sounds, and I watched the flames beating in the pyre, my mind churning, but I didn't know what I was thinking. At this time, in the beating of the flames, the surroundings suddenly became extremely quiet.

The space suddenly became empty and far-reaching beyond imagination, and the flame seemed to have an infinite attraction, drawing me closer and closer. The feeling was all too familiar, and I tried to hold my mind steady and dragged myself out of this demonic streak. When I opened my eyes to face this world outside of the devil, I was suddenly shocked!

The Xia Zhuang in front of him suddenly became a clear contrast, and countless gray shadows were pouring out from the Xia Village!

What is this! My eyes widened in horror, but I couldn't see the gray as it really was, and I wanted to warn myself, but I couldn't make a sound, and my whole body couldn't move.

Seeing that this gray will soon engulf us, and Liu Dongxi and others are still asleep, they will not know the arrival of the crisis. This stuff has an ominous smell that is sure to be bad for it.

The firelight began to dim, and countless red dots rose on the opposite side. I suddenly realized what this gray was.

It's a mouse! Thousands of rats. These rats are not yellow-brown like the rats of the mountains, but are very light gray, and their eyes are red, and they are coming at us with a speed that is characteristic of their species.

My scalp suddenly felt a little numb, children like me who grew up in the city probably have few of those experiences of catching small animals to play, but more of the fear and fear of these strange small animals, at this moment to see so many strange mice viciously attacking me, I only feel numb and itchy all over my body, I want to immediately rip off the clothes on my body and run for my life.

But at this time, the body does not listen to the command at all, and only asks these rats to be afraid of the fire and not rush to our side. At this time, I remembered what Lu Yan said before, and I had time to wonder if Lu Yan knew something would happen in my busy schedule.

These rats were not afraid of a roaring fire, and I watched as they rushed straight through the flames and bared their teeth. Looking at their reddened eyes and half-bared teeth, I thought to myself, I often heard stories of rats crossing the border without any grass, and I didn't expect that I was about to become a dry skeleton in the story.

I tensed all over, waiting for the first pain to be the hardest, only to see the rat in front of me pass through my body and go backwards. The body also regained its mobility all at once. I quickly jumped up and turned my head to see that everyone was sleeping soundly on the ground, and countless rats were running under my feet, passing through our bodies like ghosts.

This sight is completely beyond my comprehension, what is going on, the image and even the smell of these rats are so real, absolutely real. Since they're all real, aren't we all ghosts?

A ridiculous thought suddenly occurred in my head, could it be that we had all died in the mountain of blood and bones in that workshop, and everything after that was my unrealistic imagination?

I was frightened by this thought, and I only felt like I had completely fallen into this strange fear. Standing in the midst of this endless stream of evil rats, I don't know if I or the people around me really exist, or even when I started not existing. All kinds of thoughts collided in my head, and I felt a splitting headache that almost exploded!

At this moment, I suddenly saw that the swarm of rats that had been running in a very orderly manner suddenly became chaotic, and something hit me on my calf, and my brain suddenly became chaotic, and I lost my center of gravity in the rotation of heaven and earth, and fell to the ground.
