This trip to Skull Grove was on my own.

The car that had already entered the mountain road began to jolt, and he told me that the time was twelve o'clock in the afternoon, but I hesitated for a long time, because he said that if I did not come today, he would come to me tonight.

Almost winter, I saw the sunset hanging in the air through the car window, the light had faded, leaving only a dark red, slightly hazy, like an egg yolk in a bowl, hidden behind the dense branches of the dry forest.

The brown-black branches, the dark round sun, are full of otherworldly serenity.

Along the way, I kept thinking about how to face him, although Aunt Jiang and my mother have a good relationship, but I and Fang Yi... It seems that there has never been any crossing, and I have only heard my mother mention his name, which is actually no different from a stranger.

My uneasy appearance was seen by the driver in front of me, and the driver began to chatter: "You little girl shouldn't come to this kind of place alone, you should find a companion to ......"

I twitched the corners of my mouth and didn't respond.

After getting out of the car, the driver rolled down the window and called me, "Hey, little girl, do you need me to wait here for you for a while?" ”

I shook my head, "No thanks." ”

The driver looked at me speechlessly, probably saying that I was stupid.

In this deep mountain forest, the winter is particularly quiet, the air is thin, the temperature here is very low, and the dirt road has become significantly harder.

I wrapped up my clothes, put on my hat, and walked step by step, but I couldn't help but take a few steps and then look behind me.

This kind of place where there are not even insects and birds, what is the difference between me walking alone and walking in the wilderness, it is a very strange picture to think about.

After a long walk, I was a little tired, and finally I was almost there, I pushed the brim of my hat on my forehead, and my mouth was still panting, it was the first time in my life that I came to this kind of ghost place alone.

The pit without wooden planks connects to the outside world, as if blocking the connection between the outside world and the white building, and everything here seems to be another world.

I walked to the pit and stopped, the dry weeds in the pit still had traces of being crushed, the last time Wu Jing fell down, the grass was pressed.

I looked up at the place, it seemed to be as quiet as water, but in fact, every second was changing.

This pit is not wide, but if it hadn't pulled me, I wouldn't have been able to jump over.

I frowned, and looked at the white building in front of me again, wondering if he was inside? Or is it watching me out of sight?

In the end, I chose to squat, my feet slowly slid down, my feet stepped in the weeds, my face was tense, for fear that one would step on the air, walked a few steps, and climbed up from the edge of the dirt pit on the other side.

But unfortunately, the soil in the pit is very empty, and it is okay to slide down, but when I go up, I step on it, and the mound of soil is scattered into lumps, and I can't kick up on my legs for a long time, and the pit just doesn't pass my head, and when I look up, the loess scum pounces into my eyes.

"My eyes ......"

I rubbed my eyes, and suddenly I couldn't see clearly, only to hear a voice above my head, "What are you doing?" ”

I froze, but my eyes still couldn't see clearly, the scum in my eyes hadn't been rubbed out, it was very uncomfortable, I looked at him very vaguely, and he was looking at me with a dark and cold color.

"Can you give me a hand? I can't go up ......."

I rubbed my eyes, but he didn't speak, as if he hesitated for a long time, before he stretched out his hand to me, "Hold on." ”

I didn't want to grab his arm with both hands, he seemed to be displeased, "Don't use your hands..."

“……”

When I finally came up from the pit, my white cotton clothes were dirty, and my face, hands, and even my hair were covered with dirt, and I looked a little embarrassed.

I patted the dirt on my body, and he didn't dodge it, but looked at me with a strange look, this was the second time he looked at me with such inexplicable eyes.

On the other hand, I looked at his whole body carefully, there was no stain on his shirt and pants, there was no wrinkle, compared to last night, it was like two people, and I finally saw his appearance clearly, his facial features were upright, and his eyebrows and eyes were somewhat similar to Aunt Jiang, if you ignore the indifference and alienation revealed in him, his appearance is very outstanding.

"You can stay here tonight."

I was stunned and looked up, "Huh? Live together? No... No, I have to go home at night, otherwise my mom will do. ”

How could he have such an idea that I would stay in such a spooky place at night, I would go crazy.

Fang Di's eyes were complicated, "This is just the beginning, you have to stay here for a week, you can go out during the day, but you must stay at night, after a week, my body is better, I can go out with you to live..."

“……”

How did this sound weird, and before I could ask, he spoke directly, "I need a lot of yang energy now. ”

"Did you say you should cooperate with me if you said you would help me, or did you want me to come to you every night?"

Fang Qi's voice was suffocating, and I looked at him with bated breath to see that he wasn't joking.

My thoughts were confused at the moment, he saw my hesitation, and his tone was a little soft and hard, "We live in this building tonight, and the ghosts of the mountains and forests can't enter......"
