Beijing in August is still so hot, the noon sun is like a fireball, the sun on the skin is even hotter and painful, and there are obviously fewer old people in the alley who move out of the rattan chairs to enjoy the coolness.

There were only a few people standing in the old train station, all of them elderly people, either holding newspapers or carrying a black leather suitcase.

Xu Yuanyang sat on the bench next to the platform, still wearing the elegant and white blue and white cheongsam, and the hairpin loosely pulled up her long hair, she didn't need to dress up carefully, just stayed there quietly, it was a quiet look.

In the past hundred years since the mother Gu of the Seven Birth Gu was planted, some changes have slowly taken place in her body that she can't ignore, first the body that stopped growing, not only the appearance has not changed, but even the length of the hair has not changed in the slightest, as if all the body functions have stopped at that moment.

And now, she gradually found that she didn't seem to feel the temperature anymore, even though it was such a scorching sun, and the people around her were wiping the sweat beads on her forehead with tissues, but she didn't have any sense of heat, even if she went to grab ice with her bare hands, knowing that her hands were frostbitten, she felt pain.

Xu Yuanyang narrowed his eyes slightly, so that he could barely see the red ticket in his hand. The accident in the underground more than ten years ago made her eyesight obviously start to deteriorate year by year, and the scar from the center of her eyebrows to her left eyelid was only a light pink color, and if you didn't look closely, you would definitely not notice it.

She reached out and stroked the scar, looking at the sky with wide eyes and only pixels, her heart was full of sorrow, could he not see his appearance before he fell in love with him.

It wasn't until the steam train from a distance began to whistle that her thoughts were interrupted, and the black-green tin train slowly drove into the platform, and the moment it stopped, a large amount of smoke spewed out drifted into the air and scattered shadows.

The conductor leaned out from the front of the car and asked loudly if there were any passengers who wanted to get on the train, until he shouted for the third time, Xu Yuanyang put on the sunglasses placed on the square box, lifted the small box that didn't put much stuff, and stepped on the train that had been staying for a while.

With the sound of the "rumbling" of the train, the big wheel slowly rotated one after the other and the small wheel, and the train slowly disappeared into the mountains in the distance.

Xu Yuanyang checked the seat number on the ticket and walked unhurriedly in the too narrow aisle. There were all kinds of people sitting on the train, including big men with their feet crossed and their heads snoring, and some men and women staring at Xu Yuanyang's outstanding appearance and the swaying long legs of men, women and children who walked past him.

Although she was used to such stares, it really didn't feel so good to be stared at all the time like this.

Fortunately, her position is not particularly far away, and the only empty row in the entire carriage is where Xu Yuanyang wants to sit. After placing the small suitcase horizontally on the table, she leaned directly back in her chair and closed her eyes to recuperate.

The sound of the train clattering forward, mixed with the dialects spoken throughout the train, made her a little irritable.

Luckily, her destination wasn't very far away, and the minute hand on her pocket watch had only turned five times before the train had already reached the platform she was going.

The sun is still as dazzling, but it's not as hot as noon.

Xu Yuanyang took out his pocket watch and looked at the time, it was already five o'clock and ten o'clock, "I have to find that place before it gets completely dark!" ”

"Girl, are you going?" A kind truck driver pulled over and poked his head out the window. From a distance, he had already seen this young girl who had just left the train station and had a little confusion on her face, and he couldn't help but want to talk to her with that weak appearance.

"Ah, do you know where Chujia Village should go?" Xu Yuanyang took off his sunglasses and squinted his eyes, so that he could see the appearance of the truck driver who was talking to him - this was a middle-aged man who looked honest and honest.

"Chujia Village? Is it the Chujia village that is rumored to be haunted at night? ”

"This ...... I don't know, are there any other Chujia villages here? ”

"It should ...... Probably not. ”

"Then can you please take me to Chujia Village?"

"This ......," the man had a look of embarrassment on his face.

"Is that enough?" Xu Yuanyang opened the box, took out a wad of banknotes from it, and handed it to the driver.

"Enough! Enough! Definitely enough! You can rest assured that you can get on the bus. The driver took the money with trembling hands, this girl is really generous! He counted with his eyes shining, one, two, three...... That's got to be a few thousand dollars! He happily stuffed the money into the small bag around his waist, hurriedly opened the car door and got out of the car, carried the box in his hand for Xu Yuanyang, and helped her to the co-pilot's position.

"Sit down, girl, and let's go."

"Thank you."

The sun has set, and the wind blowing from the fields has brought some coolness, this truck driver is a person who can't bear to be quiet, and he has been driving for a while, and finally can't help but want to chat with Xu Yuanyang.

"Girl, why did you go to a haunted place like Chujia Village?"

"To find an old man."

"It is said that in the past few years, many villagers have moved out of the village out of fear, and now there are not many people left who live there, girl, are you sure that the person you are looking for is still in the village."

"I don't know, but I'm going to look for it anyway, in case he's still here."

"Girl, didn't you ask him where he was before you came?"

"I can't contact him, and I can't say if he dies, after all, he's lived for so many years."

The driver looked at Xu Yuanyang with some surprise and looked out of the window, is this girl's deceased actually an elderly person.

"Girl, I can only take you to the gate of the village, where the roads are not easy to drive."

"Thank you, just go outside the village, and I'll walk the rest of the way myself."

Through the window, the truck driver looked at Xu Yuanyang, who was already standing on the ground, bowed to him, and then walked into the village without looking back.

"Alas, what a good girl, it's a pity." The driver looked at the sky that had darkened a little, and Xu Yuanyang, who could no longer see his back clearly, and shook his head regretfully, "This kind of place, most of them have gone and never returned." ”

The driver ignited the fire, turned the steering wheel, and drove the car away from Chujia Village before it was completely dark.
