Chapter 13: The Strange Affair of the East City

The old shipwreck followed me thoughtfully without saying a word. Everything seems so unreal.

What about my home? What about the home I've lived in for sixteen years? Where did it go? And Daddy. The things that were so deeply imprinted in my blood disappeared in one fell swoop.

I crouched down, buried my head in my knees, slapped the back of my head one at a time, and clutched my hair tightly, almost collapsing. A-Niang fell in a pool of blood in front of me, A-Dad was nowhere to be found, and all my familiar places became barren grass. It looks like a barren mountain that has been abandoned for hundreds of years, and it doesn't look like anyone once lived here.

"This is what you call Qingming Village?" The old boatman sat down next to me at some point.

"Hmm."

"Does it really exist?" The old boatman's voice suddenly became much more vicissitudes, overlooking the entire valley, and the meaning in his eyes was unclear.

At this time, I remembered that my father had told me more than once like a storyteller: There is one of the oldest Sanyang towns in Sichuan, and there is an isolated village called Qingming Village 800 miles away from Sanyang Town, with a single wall on three sides, a mountain in front and a mountain in the back, a mountain on the left, a mountain on the right, and a mountain on the right, and you can only look up at the sky.

With the right time and place, it is like a natural fortress, where people inside can go out, but people outside can't easily get in.

Does it exist? I think it exists, and if it doesn't exist, can it be that I have been living in a phantom for the past sixteen years? It's ridiculous, it's ridiculous, but I don't know what to explain what I'm seeing. Maybe Daddy never told me the truth, for example, who he was, I didn't think there was anything before, but now in retrospect, it seems to be all loopholes and lies.

The stories that A-Niang told me before she died may have been processed, but I was kept in the dark and didn't know it.

"Let's go to Dongcheng, Dongcheng Strange Country Street." The old boatman's words were very pertinent, and he did not argue with me as he did at his house, but patted me on the back of the shoulder comfortingly.

"Where is that? Why? ”

"There is a foreign street in Dongcheng, and this foreign street hides a soul pavilion called Tilt I, wait for one person, the people in it can know the fate of all the living people in the world, whether it is the past life or this life, whether it is marriage or illness, etc., they can answer you one by one."

"Really?" And such a place? Aren't those cited by the old boat family known only to the legendary immortals?

"I've been."

"That ......"

Before I could finish speaking, he took the lead and said, "I know what you want to ask, but there is a rule that you must abide by when you go there, I can't say it, there is a sentence that you should have heard-------- the secret of heaven must not be leaked, so I can't tell you." If you really want to know what's behind these weird and inexplicable things, you can go there and find out. ”

Eventually, I followed the old boatman's advice and went to the East Side, and I didn't know where I was going anyway.

Before leaving, he also gave me a token, saying that he had severe asthma and heart disease and couldn't go far, so I asked him to go to Dongcheng and his wife who hadn't returned home for almost half a month, and then told him that his wife had eight words: as long as you can come back.

I got into the car in such a hurry that the car went far, far away before I realized in a trance that I didn't even know what his wife looked like, so the question was, how did I transfer what the old boat family gave me to her wife? Who did you say that if only you could come back?

Probably because the distance is relatively long, there are few people taking the bus in the direction of Dongcheng, so I chose a seat at the front.

It didn't take long for the car to get on the highway, and I heard that it was about to pass the last checkpoint and arrive at the bus terminal.

During this period, there are occasional cars passing by, and the smell of exhaust fumes and dust is wrapped together, which is particularly unpleasant.

Just then, a hoarse voice suddenly stopped me. I was shocked and immediately turned around, but I didn't see a figure.

Just when I thought I was hallucinating, a voice came from the back of my car: "You shouldn't have come." ”

I couldn't help but jerk my head back and look back. It was a man wearing a black mask and three rows of red stud earrings in his left and right ears. A pair of eyes that are surprisingly seductive. Coupled with his black clothes, there is an indescribable sense of solemnity.

But when I got in the car, I remembered that there was no one sitting in the back seat at all. Also, what do I mean I shouldn't come? I don't even know him, okay!

Before I could ask, he yelled at me: "Get out of the car! ”

Why? The people who got off the barren mountains and mountains told me that getting off the bus was not death! He seemed to see my doubts, and no matter what I thought, he shouted at me again, "Get out of the car!" ”

Hearing him yell at me inexplicably, I really want to be so angry, this man is simply inexplicable! The first time I sat in the car, my head was dizzy and stuffy, and I wanted to vomit but couldn't vomit.

I really didn't have the energy to argue with him, so I just turned my head and squinted, which would reduce the feeling of dizziness.

At this time, a little girl who looked like a seven or eight-year-old next to me saw me turn my head sideways and speak to the seat in the back row, and couldn't help but turn her head to look at me curiously.

Blinking at the big eyes of the watery spirit, she asked me curiously, "Big sister, who are you talking about just now?" ”

"It's the nasty guy in the back row who pretends to sleep with his eyes closed." I squinted at him, and the man sneered at me disapprovingly.

I don't know why, but the little girl glanced back at the place I pointed, and no longer smiled sweetly at me, but sat back in her seat as if she had seen something frightened, and leaned back in her seat like the man, with her eyes closed and not saying a word.

Suddenly it felt like something was wrong. Except for the little girl, the rest of the passengers in the car fell asleep. There is another question, isn't her parents worried about the fact that the girl doll who is only seven or eight years old goes to such a far place south of Dongcheng alone?

I turned my head and didn't look calm on the surface, but in fact it was already turbulent inside. I wondered why he had suddenly appeared on the bus. Because, before that, I can be sure and sure that I definitely didn't see him before I got in the car.

There is another thing that I can't figure out, why did he suddenly tell me to get out of the car with a nervous expression?

Before I could figure it out, the bus shook violently, like a diver plunging headlong into a swimming pool, and quickly drove into a brightly lit tunnel.

In a short time, I could always hear the cannon fire in front of the tunnel, and the thundering of war drums. It was as if there were thousands of troops galloping forward.

I turned my head and asked the little girl beside me who had been closing her eyes, "Did you hear any strange sounds?" ”

"Shhhh Big sister, don't talk, lie back and close your eyes. The little girl changed her previous cute posture and whispered to me with an extremely serious expression.

As she spoke, she never opened her eyes. I started to get nervous, but I didn't dare close my eyes.

I have a habit of sleeping with my eyes half-open or anything. Because with the eyes closed, the senses of the person will be more sensitive than with the eyes open. I'm really afraid of the kind of evil that my father taught me when I was a child!

As he spoke, the bus slowly stopped. I reflexively looked at the driver's seat, only to find that the driver, like the rest of the passengers, was asleep, lying on the steering wheel without moving. Oh, my God!! This is absolutely not true!

The highway is no more than those other sections, the slightest carelessness can kill you, now who will tell me how bold this bus driver is, dare to fall asleep while driving? And still in the process of passing through the tunnel......

From time to time, there was a whining wail or two, mixed with a palpitating, ghostly gasp. The surroundings seemed to be quiet and unsettling. It's as quiet as everything sleeps in the fear of death.

The surrounding area is filled with an erratic mist, which is even more eerie!

Immediately after that, there was a lingering black and purple streamer in front of me, enveloping me, and I vaguely saw a white figure in a plain robe walking towards me, that figure was so familiar that I was almost certain that the demon man who called himself Long Qianye!

Before he could get closer, I immediately reflexively shrank into the car, for fear of being bumped into by him.

Did he find it anyway?

"You try to hide again!"

The voice was really thick enough, and my heart was about to jump to my throat.

In an instant, he teleported to the seat where I was, stared at me for a long time, and suddenly sneered: "Hide!" Why don't you hide? ”
