Chapter 279: Entering the Deserted Village
I looked at Mu Xi looking at the village not far away, and I couldn't help but feel a little weird. Turning his head to look at Xiao Wu beside him, he just looked at me and shook his head slightly.
For a while, I didn't understand what was going on, and just wanted to ask Ouyang Ze, but when I saw that he seemed to be a little excited, he whistled and ran out thinking about the village in front of him.
I couldn't help but shudder, not knowing what he was going to do. However, there didn't seem to be any danger, and although I was a little apprehensive, I tried to calm myself down.
The car soon arrived in the village, but it was already dusk, and there was almost no activity outside. Occasionally, someone heard the sound of a car, but they just looked out and quickly retracted it.
I've started to think that maybe the people here are more afraid of life, but gradually I feel that they are not afraid of life, but more like they are afraid of us.
Under the guidance of Mu Xi, we drove all the way into the village from the east side of the village, and passed through the whole village until we reached the northernmost part of the village.
It is close to the foot of the mountain, and there are almost no houses. At this time, it was almost dark at the bottom of the mountain, but fortunately, the headlights of the car illuminated the distance as if it were day.
Mu Xi commanded Ouyang Ze to turn a corner, and a small courtyard appeared in front of the headlights. There are a few dilapidated grass huts inside, which are already scattered.
As soon as Ouyang Ze stopped, Mu Xi got out of the car. Although he was old, his waist and legs looked very good, he straightened his waist slightly, and as soon as he stretched out his hand, he asked Ouyang Ze for the rest of the money.
I couldn't help but be stunned when I looked at it, but it was inconvenient to shout directly, so I looked coldly at what Ouyang Ze did.
Unexpectedly, Ouyang Ze also jumped out of the car, stood beside Mu Xi, looked around, and suddenly said with a smile: "You haven't told us where this is?" I remember that before we came, we said that we could pay the money, but you should take us to the deserted village, right?! ”
Mu Xi looked up at Ouyang Ze and couldn't see any expression on his face, but just as he was about to speak, a person came out of the hut in front of him.
"Dad!"
It was a young man, his voice was very loud, and he spoke in Chinese. Although it has a strong flavor of local dialects, I still understand this word.
He took a flashlight in his hand and shone it on us and walked over to us. Mu Xi looked back at the man, his brows furrowed slightly, but he didn't speak, as if waiting for him to come.
It wasn't far away, and the man seemed a little anxious, so he walked fast. When he got closer, he turned off the flashlight, and I could see his appearance clearly, a middle-aged man with some dark skin.
He and Mu Xi muttered that they didn't know what to say, and I couldn't understand a word. Looking at Xiao Wu, he didn't seem to pay attention to them at all, while Ouyang Ze looked at the old and young with interest.
They talked for almost ten minutes before stopping, not like they were arguing, but like they were explaining something. Mu Xi kept talking, and the man said a few words once in a while, and the rest of the time it was basically a monosyllabic yes and nodded.
Mu Xi pressed down on his son's big withered hand in the air like a withered vine, and said slowly: "The deserted village here is already very close, if you plan to spend the night in it tonight, you can bring something to eat." ”
I looked at Xiao Wu, but we didn't bring any food, Ouyang Ze turned his head to look at me, and then looked at Mu Xi and asked, "What do you have here?" ”
Mu Xi turned his head and waved his hand at the man, who turned his head and ran into the room. After a while, he walked out, carrying a large bag in one hand and an iron pot in the other.
Ouyang Ze opened it, looked at it, nodded and asked, "How much?" ”
Mu Xi stretched out a finger and gestured and said, "A thousand." ”
I couldn't help but be stunned when I looked at it, this is much more powerful than those black-hearted tour guides reported in the news. And this iron pot is not new at a glance, and I don't know how many people he has sold it to.
And it is estimated that no one will deliberately take away such an iron pot when leaving, so it is convenient for them to recycle.
It's just that I can only buy it here, otherwise I can't go hungry all night. Besides, I don't know how long I'm going to be in it now, and I guess I'll take the pot with me when no one arrives.
"Okay."
Ouyang Ze smiled and reached for his wallet.
Mu Xi looked at him and said, "A total of two thousand yuan, you gave it to my son, and I will send you into the village." ”
Ouyang Ze raised his eyes to look at the man, only to see the man's eyes glaring at Ouyang Ze as if we were going to kidnap his father.
"Give."
Ouyang Ze handed the money to the man and beckoned Mu Xi to get into the car. Following Mu Xi's instructions, I looked back at the hut behind me.
The man was still standing and watching us until he disappeared. It's getting dark early now, and it doesn't seem like the moon is coming out much today.
Before seven o'clock in the evening, the night was a little thick, and the car walked around a bumpy dirt road at the bottom of the mountain for nearly half an hour.
After walking less than five kilometers, a pat on the gloomy house finally appeared in our sight.
Under the illumination of the headlights, there are earthen houses lined up on a flat ground not far in front, full of stumps and broken walls.
And from a distance, even the wild grass on the road is more than a foot high. Even if you sit in the car, you can already feel the desolation here, and the night breeze blows the wild grass back and forth.
Constant whimpering sounds, as if there were none. If it weren't for Xiao Wu and Ouyang Ze, I guess I would have retreated a long time ago.
It's just that when he came here, Mu Xi refused to go any further, he shouted that if Ouyang Ze didn't stop and put him down, he would jump out of the car.
We had to find the water source in the village and a place to stay overnight. As he spoke, he had already opened the car door and was about to jump down, but Ouyang Ze grabbed his clothes and dragged him back.
It's just that what we didn't expect was that this wooden tree looked like a candle in its old age. But not only was his movements flexible, but his strength was not small, and he actually broke free from Ouyang Ze's hands and really jumped out of the car.
Ouyang Ze hurriedly stepped on the brakes, and at this time, he was less than ten meters away from the entrance of the village.
"I'll go."
Xiao Wu looked back at me and Ouyang Ze, and said coldly that he had gotten out of the car. I don't understand until now why he was wearing only black all the time, because he disappeared as soon as he got out of the car.
It was so quiet that I could barely hold my breath and look out the window. Although I know that no matter how powerful Mu Xi is, he is not Xiao Wu's opponent, but after all, people are more familiar with this place.
And Xiao Wu didn't know anything about the topography here, so I couldn't help but be a little worried. And seeing that Mu Xi was in such a hurry to leave, it seemed that he was reluctant to enter the deserted village.
That kind of fear definitely didn't look like a pretense, thinking of the kind of look in Mu Xi's eyes when he first saw him. And his son looked at us as he left, and for a moment I turned my head to look at the deserted village in front of me and couldn't help but shudder.
If it's just some dried corpses, how can people like Mu Xi be scared like this, and don't you say that those dried corpses have already been disposed of?!
So what else could there be other than a dry corpse that made Mu Xi and his son scared like this, I stared at the outline of the whole village and watched my heart become more and more bottomless.
And the village is right next to the mountain, almost at the foot of the mountain. Part of the village was hidden in the shadows below the mountain, and I couldn't see the innermost situation here.
"An'an, if you come, you will be safe. Don't worry, no matter what happens, I'm here with my little five! ”
Ouyang Ze said, turned his head to look at me, smiled slightly, stretched out his hand in mid-air, and seemed to want to reach over, but in the end, he heard it in mid-air and reluctantly smiled back.
At this time, there was a sudden sound of knocking on the glass. I was taken aback, and my whole body couldn't help but reflexively bounce on the seat.
When I turned my head to see a strange figure standing outside the car window, I immediately shuddered. I thought to myself, I haven't entered the village yet, why hell am I going to see it.
But I heard Ouyang Ze suddenly scold: "Damn! You want to scare people to death! ”
As soon as he finished speaking, Xiao Wu's face appeared behind the glass. I saw that he was holding a wooden stick in his hand, so it was a figure of two people sticking together just now.
I thought it was a person, so I jumped off. I saw Xiao Wu and Ouyang Ze outside, and I didn't know what was going on when I looked at the fog.
Suddenly, Ouyang Ze looked at me and said, "An An, you come to the front." ”
After he finished speaking, he looked at me with a solemn expression, and I didn't react for a while, looking at him blankly.
Ouyang Ze looked at me and pointed to the seat next to him, and I realized that it seemed that Mu Xi didn't plan to send us in, so he could only let Xiao Wu move.
And after getting in the car, Xiao Wu also needs to look at him, Ouyang Ze is inconvenient to drive. I can only sit in the front and leave the space in the back to Xiao Wu and Mu Xi, although the space in the car is relatively large, but Ouyang Ze still doesn't want me to be too close to Mu Xi.
After all, I was the only one in the whole car, and I looked like the weakest one, and if I was threatened by Muxi, it would be worth the loss.
After I reacted, I hurriedly opened the car door and prepared to get out of the car and go to the front, but Ouyang Ze grabbed the car door. I looked at him a little blankly, not understanding what he meant.
"Don't get out of the car, just step over."
Ouyang Ze looked at me and said as he opened his arms and prepared to pick me up, I looked outside, hesitated, but reached out and grabbed his arm.
Fortunately, there was a lot of space in the car, and I didn't lose too much time when I stepped over. After I sat down, Xiao Wu drove the door and sat in with the wooden tree.
Originally, although Mu Xi was old and thin, he looked quite tall. When he straightened up, his head seemed to be a little more fierce than Ouyang Ze, but now he was carried by Xiao Wu and thrown into the car, and the whole person shrank into a ball.
It's like a chicken, and it instantly feels like it's a lot smaller. I turned my head to look at him, and there was blood on his nose and mouth, but fortunately it was no longer bleeding.
It's just that his gaze became more fierce, and he glared at Xiao Wu without giving in and said viciously: "I said, I'll let me go after bringing you here!" ”
"I remember what we said was, you sent us to a deserted village. But I haven't gone in yet. ”
Ouyang Ze smiled and glanced at Mu Xi stepped on the accelerator, but the car did not go, and asked, "Say, where is the water source and a safer place to live!" ”
