"Old Qian, what did you do before?" Zou Lianwen asked as he walked closely behind Lao Qian.

"I used to be a soldier, and after I was discharged from the army, I was assigned here."

"Thirty years?"

"No, if you count it carefully, it's been thirty-two years."

"Oh, then you're ...... this year"

"Fifty-four, twenty-two years ago, I haven't left since."

"Never left?" Zou Lianwen asked

"Hmm...... Well, never left. Lao Qian hesitated for a while and continued to reply, "I haven't gotten married, I haven't returned to my hometown, I've been staying here." ”

"Then you must be lonely! How do you usually spend your time? Zou Lianwen lowered his head and quietly raised his eyes to quietly look at Lao Qian's expression, but Lao Qian, who was walking in front of him, didn't look back at him at all.

"I'm used to it, haven't I been alone for so many years!" Saying this, Lao Qian suddenly raised his head and looked at the sky, as if he remembered his past, his family and friends.

Zhai Yong opened his mouth to interrupt Lao Qian's thoughts, and he asked expressionlessly, "Then you don't have any family?" Don't you miss them? ”

Lao Qian looked back at Zhai Yong, and suddenly cracked his mouth, he smiled, laughing like a cracked shriveled watermelon, and like a scarecrow, laughing so weirdly, it was terrifying, in fact, he didn't know that in the eyes of everyone, his mouth had cracked to the root of his ears. It wasn't until he saw everyone's eyes that he realized his gaffe, so he immediately put away his weird smile, said with a gloomy face: "I only have a younger brother...... and then turned around and walked forward, no matter how everyone asked, he didn't answer anymore and walked forward in a muffled voice. Just when everyone couldn't stand the speed of Lao Qian's movement and complained bitterly, Lao Qian suddenly stopped - he took everyone to a wooden house. Although it was nearly ten o'clock, the hut was leaning against a large tree, sheltered by the shade of the tree, and there was no other plant around the hut except the one that had been there, and the two of them stood there coldly with each other in their arms.

Without saying a word, Old Qian walked into the wooden house and left everyone outside. Everyone looked at the wooden house, but no one dared to step forward to find out. Although the wooden house in front of me was small, it did not affect the eerie aura it exuded, and even the moss on the stone steps at the entrance seemed to remind visitors to be careful and not to approach easily. The black, empty door seemed to be a black hole, silently devouring the sunlight around it. At this moment, four thin fingers stretched out from the inside of the door frame and slowly put it on the door frame, and then a withered, wrinkled face slowly poked out from the other side of the wall, a pair of round eyes, and a strange smile on the face, and saliva had come out of the mouth and fell to the ground drop by drop.

What happened to Old Qian at this time? Everyone was stunned by the strange behavior of the mountain patrolman, and no one spoke for a long time. Finally, Zou Lianwen stepped forward and shouted, "Old Qian, what are you doing here?" ”

Before Zou Lianwen could finish speaking, he saw Lao Qian's head retract into the dark wooden house with a swish, and then there was a sound from the cabin, as if someone was rummaging around in the house. Everyone was shocked by the strange aura exuded by the small wooden house and the strange behavior of Lao Qian, and they were all stunned in place, and no one dared to approach the wooden house anymore. Zou Lianwen, who was closest to the wooden house, had no idea for a while, he didn't know what was going on in the house, and he didn't know why Lao Qian would make such a strange move. Then he immediately remembered the ghost story that Erxi had told him in the car when he came, and didn't the village child just see his head poking out from the tree in the forest? What is the connection between the two? Or is there a problem with old money itself? He couldn't help but feel a little excited at the thought of this, but he didn't go any further—it was pitch black in the room, and it would be dangerous to go in like that now.

Syllable! A hand suddenly slapped on Zou Lianwen's shoulder, which scared Zou Lianwen, and when he looked back, he saw that it was Zhai Yong who patted him, at this time he was still expressionless, but although he was facing himself, his eyes kept staring at the wooden house, and it seemed that he was also a little nervous.

"I'll go in, you wait outside, and if you hear me shout, rush in and save me, understand?"

Before Zou Lianwen could answer, Zhai Yong walked past Zou Lianwen, bent down and picked up a stick-shaped item and prepared to enter the house. At this moment, a man slowly walked out of the wooden house. This person is none other than the ranger old money, he wiped the sweat from his forehead, smiled at everyone and said, "I've taken all the things, let's keep going!" ”

"Damn, what happened to you just now, old money?" Chen Erxi asked excitedly.

"Huh? What's wrong? Did I just do something? Old Qian looked puzzled.

"You just poked your head out of the hut and smiled at us, leaving a lot of saliva!" Li Jing's face was pale, and she stared straight at the door frame and said word by word.

He glanced at the city-dwellers in front of him, smiled contemptuously, and said, "I thought it was something going on, I scared you." As he spoke, he turned around and closed the door, locking it, "It's not far from the deserted village." Is this strange or unusual? ”

"That'...... Didn't you just poke your head out of the door and smile at us? Wang Leilei grabbed Li Jing's arm tightly and asked in a trembling voice.

"That's not me! Don't talk nonsense! Lao Qian walked past everyone as he spoke, "I'm alone, I didn't come out just now, I've been looking for something in the house!" ”

"Could it be us...... Wrong, right?! Chen Erxi said with some embarrassment.

"Either you're mistaken, or else! It's just that you're getting dirty! After Lao Qian finished speaking, he looked at everyone mockingly, and then continued, "It's still an adventure, I'm afraid of this little situation, and it's really ...... to dare to come to the deserted village." After speaking, he walked up the path next to the wooden house without looking back, and continued to walk deeper into the mountain. He didn't go far before he turned around and shouted, "Don't follow the cowardly, go back quickly!" ”。

Everyone Zou Lianwen didn't say a word, and strode after him, Wang Leilei hugged Li Jing's arm tightly and followed behind Zou Lianwen, Zhai Yong saw that there was no danger at the moment, so he threw away the rags he had just picked up and followed behind the two girls. Only Chen Erxi still stared at the wooden house blankly, he seemed to remember something, and felt that this scene seemed to be particularly familiar somewhere, but he couldn't tell when or where it was. When he came back to his senses, Lao Qian had already taken everyone out of a long distance, Erxi suddenly felt a little scared, so he ran over to everyone, but after a few steps, he stepped on something and fell, it was exactly what Zhai Yong picked up when he was about to break into the wooden house, it seemed to be a glass bottle.

Erxi picked it up curiously and looked at the label on it, which looked very new, and it was also printed with "Rye whisky" in English. Chen Erxi couldn't help but feel a little angry and a little funny: although this group of people who came to the deserted village to explore, although they looked decent and understood life, they always threw their troubles to others, did not know how to understand the hardships of others, drank all the wine in the bottle, but left the garbage in the woods. Thinking of this, he stuffed the empty wine bottle into his backpack, stood up, patted the dirt on his clothes, and ran briskly towards everyone.
