"This is Chujia Village?"

The car was parked steadily in a vacant lot on the edge of the field, and the front of the car was facing the destination of several people's trip - Chujia Village.

Xia Yuan held the back of the driver's seat and the co-pilot's seat, poked his head out of the gap between him, and looked at the down-and-out small village in front of him that seemed out of place with the outside world, feeling that it looked even more miserable than in the news.

"If the location on the map is not wrong, this should be Chujia Village."

Wen Lan unbuckled his seat belt, opened the car door and got out of the car first, Xia Yuan hurriedly opened the car door and stood beside Wen Lan, but a gust of wind blew, causing him to shrink his neck and shiver.

"Why is this place so gloomy, weirdly cold."

Wen Mu turned his head sideways and looked at Xia Yuan's outfit with short sleeves and shorts: "I told you, you have to wear more, this place will cool down at night, and you don't want to listen to it." ”

"I didn't know it would be so cold!"

Xia Yuan hugged himself tightly in short-sleeved shorts, and just standing alone was already in stark contrast to the warmth of the long-sleeved and long-sleeved pants beside him.

"Young master, please put this on." The butler took out a wide denim jacket from the luggage in the trunk and draped it over Xia Yuan's shoulders.

"Ah, thank you, saved." Xia Yuan put on his coat and instantly felt much warmer than just now, although his bare calves were blowing in the wind, there was still some cold swishing, but compared to just now, it was indeed much better, "Who would have thought that the temperature difference between day and night could be so large." ”

Wen Mu looked around quietly, and finally locked her eyes on a pile of leaves under a large tree not far away, she walked quickly to the pile of leaves, picked up a thick branch from the side, and tinkered with something in the pile of leaves: "Xiao Yuan, there is a sign here." ”

"Brand? What brand? Xia Yuan walked to Wen Mu's side, bent down, and looked along the branch in her hand.

She pulled out a wooden sign as high as her calf from the pile of leaves, "I don't know who buried this thing in the ground." ”

"Chujia Village?" Xia Yuan touched his chin, looked at the three big red characters written crookedly on the sign, and was a little puzzled, "Is it any use for you to dig this thing out?" ”

"It's useless, probably to prove that we're not in the wrong place, right?" Wen Lan flipped over the sign, except for the three words "Chujia Village", there was nothing special, so he threw it on the concrete floor on the side, and the arrow on the sign just pointed to the village.

"If you want to wear self-defense, you can do that."

"Who would want to carry something like that!" Ah Lan is really more and more fond of making jokes about himself now......

Wen Mu stood up, dusted off his hands, took out a tissue from his small bag, and wiped his hands, "Then let's go in?" ”

"But it's getting dark this day, and this village looks weird and scary, why don't we rest outside tonight and go in after dawn?"

"Xiao Yuan, are you sleeping stupid? Of course, this kind of thing is done at night, who have you ever seen digging a thief hole during the day? Wen Mu, who had already walked away, stopped and looked at Xia Yuan, who was still standing in place, not quite understanding why he retreated from the battle, which was not at all like what he usually did.

"Didn't the news say that this place is haunted at night, and that there is no one living in the village anymore?" Xia Yuan avoided Wen Mu's gaze and looked at the already golden sky not far away, "And look, it's so dark inside, I'm not worried about any danger." ”

"Oh? Could it be ...... Xiao Yuan, are you afraid of ghosts? I can't imagine that you are still afraid of ghosts? Wen Mu hooked the corners of his mouth, put his hands behind his back, and approached Xia Yuan step by step, "No wonder when I wanted to find you to go to the haunted house before, you prevaricated it with various reasons, it turned out that it was not because I was busy with various things, but because I was afraid of ghosts." ”

"You...... What are you talking about? I...... I'm a big man, how can I be afraid of ghosts? Xia Yuan looked at Wen Muan, who was getting closer, and couldn't help but take a step back, "Don't talk nonsense. ”

Wen Mu approached Xia Yuan's face, trying to find evidence of concealment in his eyes: "Oh? Are you sure? ”

"Okay, let's go, let's go, let's go, or it'll be really dark." Xia Yuan avoided Wen Mu's gaze, grabbed Wen Mu's shoulders, and turned her around, just pushing her towards the village.

The butler, who had just taken out a large bag and a small bag from the trunk of the car, saw that the two had already walked away from the fight, lifted the bag on his back, and quickly trotted to follow the two.

"This village is really deserted." Wen Mu walked along the only avenue that ran through the entire village, looking around at the houses on both sides that looked like they hadn't been inhabited for a long time, "It's really like the haunted house on TV." ”

Xia Yuan tugged at Wen Mu's sleeve and said, "Ah Lan, when it gets completely dark later, you can remember to pull me up." ”

"What? Are you still afraid of ghosts? Wen Mu narrowed his eyes slightly, looking in a particularly good mood.

"That...... Ah, I may not have told you that when I get to a place where there is no light, I will not be able to see clearly. ”

"That's what you're talking about...... Nyctalopia? ”

"Well, sort of, that's the main reason why I've been reluctant to accompany you to the haunted house." Xia Yuan had always been a little embarrassed to look at Wen Mu's face.

But Wen Mu didn't have the ridicule that Xia Yuan imagined this time, and his face was more worried about Xia Yuan: "Why didn't you tell me earlier, I thought you were afraid of ghosts, and I laughed at you, I'm sorry." ”

"No, Ah Nan, don't apologize, I'm mainly afraid that you will be worried, so I haven't told you, Ah Lan, don't take it to heart." Looking at Wen Muan's expression at the moment, Xia Yuan instantly panicked.

"By the way, I have a flashlight in the housekeeper's bag, I'll go get it now."

After speaking, Wen Mu turned around, and after seeing the scenery in front of him, he was stunned, "Hey, Xiao Yuan, speaking of which, I haven't heard Steward Qin's voice since just now, did he tell you where he went?" ”

"How do I know that I haven't been with you all the time? Didn't he follow us? Xia Yuan also turned around, but there was only an empty street in front of him, and Steward Qin, who had been following them, disappeared without a trace at some point.

"When did Steward Qin disappear?"

"I remember looking back shortly after we walked in, and he was still following us."

"He's so close to us that we don't even feel it when we're gone."

After a gust of wind, the sky completely darkened, and the dark clouds also obscured the only moonlight, completely enveloping the two of them in darkness.
