The old man's voice was simply hoarse.

"Uncle! We're not bad people, just tell us where our grandson lives! ”

"I'll say it again, there's no one you're looking for in this village, so go back quickly! Otherwise......"

Before the old man finished speaking, he sighed.

"Uncle, I'm from Laomiao Village, and I'm Xiao Li, a pontoon toll collector...... Brother Xiao Li introduced it. ”

I originally wanted to be close to this strange old man, Laomiao Village and Xiaohe Village are only a dozen miles apart, although they do not belong to the same township, but after all, the villagers are the villagers, and Xiao Li is working as a toll collector on the pontoon bridge at the entrance of their village, everyone should be very familiar.

But what I didn't expect was that when I said this, it would be self-defeating.

"You ...... Let's go! Otherwise, it's too late to regret it! Time is running out! ”

The old man's voice became hoarse and hoarse, as if he might lose his breath at any moment.

Chen Laosan whispered behind the two of us: "Two of you! I think this is a crazy old man, ignore him! If you look further, you might be able to bump into other people. ”

Zhang Kailong nodded, and we left a sentence of "Let's go, uncle", and turned around and continued to walk towards the village.

"You ...... If you don't listen to my advice, will you ...... Will regret it! ”

As soon as I turned around, I heard the old man shout.

After walking a few steps, I heard the old man shouting behind me again: "Hey! Let me tell you the truth! The old lady you are talking about died half a year ago, little ...... Xiao Li also drowned last night......"

We all chuckled at his last words, but when we turned back, the old man was gone, and only a dilapidated Maza was left by the wall.

"What just happened? What about the old man? ”

Chen Laosan hurriedly asked.

Zhang Kailong looked around and explained: This happens to be a crossroads, and there are broken houses and walls on both sides, maybe this old man is playing tricks!

I don't think this explanation makes sense, let's not talk about the strange behavior of the old lady at the entrance of the village, just say that this old man, and we don't know him, why do you want to play a prank and trick on us? Looking at his physical state and expression, it doesn't look like he's pretending.

But thinking about it the other way, it makes even more sense, if Xiao Li and the old lady are dead, then who are we in contact with? Could it be that there are really ghosts in broad daylight?

In short, this matter was very evil, and under the circumstances at that time, none of the three of them mentioned it anymore, and unconsciously accelerated their pace to the village.

Xiaohe Village has a small population, and the houses are naturally very sparse, and I saw a big banyan tree in front of me, with two swings hanging down its trunk, and two boys of seven or eight years old were playing to their heart's content.

Finally see normal people! I thought to myself and walked over.

"Hello, kids!"

Zhang Kailong kept tense and squeezed out a smile that was more ugly than bitter melon on his face, and asked the two children.

"Who are you looking for?"

One of the tall boys asked.

"I'm a policeman from the District Public Security Bureau, and I'm looking for an old man surnamed Sun, do you know how to get to his house?"

Zhang Kailong replied.

"Grandpa Sun? Is it an old grandfather who can tell fortunes? The other boy immediately preemptively asked.

"Yes! It's him, do you know where he lives? ”

"We know, we don't know!"

The tall boy replied.

This sounds incomprehensible, knowing is knowing, not knowing is not knowing, how can you still "know and don't know"!

The boy smiled, reached out and took out a note from his trouser pocket and handed it to Zhang Kailong, saying, "It was Grandpa Sun who asked us to wait for you here, let us give you this note." ”

Handing over the note, the two boys continued to play on the swings.

Zhang Kailong took the note suspiciously, opened it and saw that there was only one line written on it: "See you in the middle of the Yellow River pontoon bridge at eleven o'clock tonight." ”

When I saw this note, I was trembling! First of all, the content of this sentence, it is now noon, and the good time is gone, why do you have to wait until eleven o'clock in the evening to go to the center of the pontoon?

What made my heart tremble was that the word was red, and it should have been written with a wooden stick or something dipped in blood.

Zhang Kailong was also stunned for a long time, and was silent for a minute before putting away the note, bending down, and pretending to be calm and asked the two children: "You two know this old ...... Where does Grandpa Sun's house live? ”

When the two children heard this, they laughed.

I hurriedly asked, "What are you two laughing at?" ”

"We laughed at what the police uncle asked."

Zhang Kailong also accompanied: "Is there anything wrong with what I said?"

"There's a problem! You ask Grandpa Sun where he lives, but he doesn't have a home!"

"No home?" The three of us shouted almost at the same time.

"Yes! He lived in our village for two months, fishing in the river during the day and sleeping in the village mill at night. ”

"Ahh The three of us let out another exclamation.

Zhang Kailong continued to ask: "Can you two lead us to the mill to have a look?" Maybe...... Maybe he's sleeping there right now! ”

The two children laughed again, and replied, "This mill does not exist during the day, and will only appear when the sun goes down." When I heard this, my heart was filled with a sigh, how is this possible? Could it be that the mill in Xiaohe Village is a castle where vampires live!

Zhang Kailong was also full of doubts, probably thinking that he couldn't find the answer to this question if he asked it again, so he changed the topic.

"Children, just now my uncle met a grandfather with a cigarette bag and pot at the first intersection of the village, do you know him?"

"You're talking about old cigarette pouches! Acquaintance! But his parents didn't let him get close, and said...... Say he's a madman, babbling gibberish all day long, often saying that he sees dirty things! ”

Another child immediately asked, "Uncle, you are a policeman, the policeman should know everything, can you tell us what dirty stuff is?" Isn't it stinky—we can see it too! ”

Zhang Kailong smiled bitterly and did not answer the child's words.

He thought for a moment and asked, "Then is the distribution at the entrance of your village still open?" ”

"Distribution? Where is there a distribution at the entrance of the village! It's been closed for a long time, and I've heard from my dad that their family has died, and the ones who are alive have moved away. Last summer, we took our bottles to exchange for popsicles......"

I can't listen to the rest of the words, if some of the family is dead, and the living ones have moved away, then who is the old lady we saw just now? Looking back now, the more I think about it, the more wrong it is, what kind of clothes is the old lady wearing, it's obviously a shroud! And her pale and bloodless face, which is clearly not a normal person's face.

Thinking about it like this, I was suddenly a little afraid.

Zhang Kailong and Chen Laosan's faces also changed, probably similar to what I thought!

After thinking for a while, Zhang Kailong continued to ask, "What about the adults in your village?" Why is there not a single one on the street? ”

The tall boy smiled again and whispered to Zhang Kailong, "The adults are sleeping!" You don't know! The adults in our village have become owls these days! ”

"Owls? What owl? Chen Laosan seemed to be very taboo about this kind of bird, and hurriedly asked.

"They don't sleep at night, they either work in the fields or go out to the river to fish, but they hide at home and sleep during the day, isn't that very much like owls?"

"Kids? Don't sleep during the day? ”

Zhang Kailong asked.

"Except for the two of us, the other children also sleep with the adults in the family during the day."

The words of the two children, I became more and more incomprehensible, it was like talking about heavenly books, more like talking nonsense.

Zhang Kailong wanted to ask something more, but suddenly heard a bell in the distance, the voice was extremely low, but it was also very harsh, and it sounded like it was coming from the Yellow River.

As soon as the two children heard the bell, they jumped off the swing, grimaced at us, ran to the alley behind the banyan tree, ran a few steps and turned around, and shouted at us, "Don't tell anyone else that you've seen us!" ”

By the time we reacted and tried to stop them, they had already disappeared into the alley.

"Xiao Zhen, this village is too evil, don't you think there is a contradiction between the words of the old man and these two children? Who should we believe? ”

Chen Laosan sneered twice, and replied in a low voice: "Who do you believe?" I don't think anyone can believe it! Didn't you notice? Although these two children look normal, there is not the slightest blood on their faces! ”

My scalp is tingling when I hear it, isn't it! It's not the same thing that a white face is not the same thing as a bloodless face, these two children are not normal! It wasn't white, it was bloodless.

Chen Laosan continued: "The old man is not normal, I was afraid that you were afraid just now, but he was wearing a woman's embroidered shoes!" It's still pink, do you think a normal old man would wear shoes like this? ”

Chen Laosan was stunned when he said it, and cold sweat came out.

We trotted out of the village, and as I passed the junction, I glanced at it consciously and saw an old mazaar still under the wall, and a pair of red embroidered shoes behind the mazaar.

Soon came to the entrance of the village, and Zhang Kailong suddenly stopped.

"Could it be that this old man and the kid are ganging up to trick us into scaring us out?"

Zhang Kailong is a policeman, and at this time the occupational disease was committed again.

In the past, he had several such experiences, a certain village or a certain place, doing illegal things, in order not to reveal it, always pretending to be suspicious, so that others did not dare to approach this place.

Two years ago, they caught a group of people who were secretly refining oil in a small workshop, and there was a rumor that the neighborhood was haunted......

Four years ago, there was a group of tomb robbers who pretended to be ghosts in the cemetery, so that people did not dare to approach the cemetery......

Chen Laosan said: "Whether it's true or not, you will know it after a test, let's go to the house just now again, if there is a ghost, isn't there still Xiaozhen?" If the old lady is deliberately pretending, then we have been deceived! ”

The three of them approached the room next to the supermarket again, from the outside, these houses were very old, considered to be in disrepair, and the doors and windows were also ventilated, which really did not look like they were inhabited.

But the more this is the case, the more suspicious Zhang Kailong feels.

I took the mahogany sword, secretly transported the heat flow on my body, everything was ready, and I leaned over with Zhang Kailong.

With a "squeak", the door was pushed open, and I was ready to swing my sword to ward off the ghosts, but what I saw made me stunned.

Where there was a small bed and an old lady in the house, I saw a black coffin in the center of the room, which was already covered with large and small cobwebs, and it seemed that it was definitely not a suspicion that someone had laid it.

As soon as he saw the coffin, Zhang Kailong stepped back again and again, and suddenly stepped on my feet.

The door slammed shut, and at the same time a dark wind blew past our ears, and the wind seemed to be mixed with the shrill laughter of women!

"What the hell are we doing!"

Zhang Kailong said tremblingly.
