【011】A village of one man
Under the woods, a straight mechanized road of yellow soil leads to the village. And next to the machine plow road, a pond is rippling with water. Stone houses are lined up one after another, and emerald green kudzu vines cling to the stone walls, forming a unique landscape. Zhiqing whispered: "I'll go, it's similar to the layout of the original Menling Village" It's just that I didn't see anyone walking, and I felt very awkward......
"Well, it's really evil." He Pengfei said with a surprised look on his face. But he didn't dare to go forward without permission, and he seemed to be afraid of something.
"Shall we go and see it?" Jiang Rong was a little worried and a little hesitant. The environment here is closely related to her biological father, and she wants to see it.
"Go and see ......" Zhiqing couldn't pay attention, in case there was anything bad in the village, wouldn't the three of them fall into the net? But if you don't look at it, it's not a way to speculate like this. In the end, he resolutely decided to go and see, but only if the two of them had to follow his arrangement, and retreat when it was time to retreat, without nostalgia.
The village was so silent that it was frightening, and even Zhiqing, who was traveling from south to north, couldn't help but slow down. The biggest difference between Menling Village here and Menling Village in Tongchuan County is that its roads are very clean, and it is not an exaggeration to describe it as dusty. The more this is the case, the more it gives them an inexplicable sense of fear.
If there is no one in the village, how can the road be so clean? It's like someone sweeping the road every day, leaving no dust behind, not even a single leaf.
Standing in the middle of the village road, looking at the white building on the left, it gives the village an incompatible frame and structure. But it also gives people a kind of mutual restraint connection. It's as if this village exists for the sake of white buildings.
Zhiqing always looks forward and backward, what to see? He didn't know. Anyway, there was a strange feeling that something was watching the three of them.
Uncle Chen is the leader of the three and the central figure. His every move is impactful and can also cause panic among the two children. Jiang Rong has been paying attention to him, and when she sees him looking left and right, she is suspicious.
"Uncle Chen, what are you looking at?" Because every time he looked behind him, they both subconsciously glanced back. This is the inertia of human beings, and what a person does can affect the thinking and judgment of others.
Zhiqing smiled bitterly and said, "It's nothing, you guys be careful." ”
Suddenly, Jiang Rong turned around sharply...... This time, it was not Uncle Chen who affected her, but she personally felt a sense of gaze from behind. And when she turned around, she really caught a glimpse of a shadow at the mouth of the cave where they had stood, and it seemed to be waving at her, and it seemed to be standing there motionless.
"Ghost girl......" Jiang Rong shouted in a lost voice.
"What?" Zhiqing reacted quickly, and hurriedly turned around to look, there was nothing! The lush woods, the caves, and the empty "What are you talking about?" He suspected that his ear had misheard, and hurriedly asked.
"She's deliberately scaring people, a person nervously chattering about ghosts or something." He Pengfei grabbed the white road.
"I didn't, I really saw her, she seemed to be waving her hand to me......" Jiang Rong explained anxiously.
"Waving your hand? What is implied? Zhiqing was nervous. Could it be that she is suggesting that we should not come into this living fossil village?
"Well, Uncle Chen, you just believe her?" He Pengfei insisted on giving Jiang Rong a closer look, she said it was good, but he wanted to say it badly. Anyway, he wanted to oppose her, and she said that she couldn't go into the village, so he stubbornly wanted to go and see, and his purpose was to make her angry. I especially want to see her pouting and angry, at this time he is quite balanced and very happy.
The reason why Jiqing is nervous is not that there is no reason, but that he really feels that there is something wrong with this village. When they came down the mountain and out of the woods, they felt as if they were surrounded by an invisible and strange feeling from all sides. This sensation is called gaze, and in the past, he had observed his wife looking at him from behind, and suddenly turning around, his gaze and hers, looking at each other.
The evil thing is that this strange feeling does not come from gazing. Because there is no one here, let alone anyone, there are not even ghosts. Who's going to have an idle egg ache to watch you? It is also impossible to look down from above, look from the side, peek from behind. Where does a person have this ability to look at you from all angles? If he has this ability, then he is not human!
Zhiqing couldn't say what he felt in his heart, but he wondered if the ghost girl mentioned by Jiang Rong was implying that they were in danger here? He hesitated to retreat to safety, or at least to a position where he could not feel the strange sensation.
At this moment, He Pengfei, who deliberately wanted to go against Jiang Rong, suddenly exclaimed: "Look. ”
Every time, he was shocked. Jiang Rong turned her head unhappily to look in the direction where his finger was pointing......
Zhiqing also looked at it......
At the end of the straight plough road, a lonely, rickety, plain black man stood facing them. From a distance, the wind stirred his gray hair, he couldn't see his face clearly, and a person suddenly appeared in a huge village, which was enough to surprise him!
The three of them were all subconsciously cold, and they all felt inexplicably worried...... The leg bar is soft, and he can't take a step, hesitating whether to go back or move forward.
He Pengfei, who didn't know the height of the sky, rushed to that person out of control, and shouted: "Wow, I finally saw someone, does the uncle have anything to eat?" ”
Zhiqing and Jiang Rong, who didn't have time to hold him, looked white! Especially the former, a black line suddenly appeared on his face, and he wanted to curse! He wanted to scold this kid.
You can't retreat, this kid He Pengfei is already close to that person. Jiang Rong and Zhiqing had to go hard, their steps were heavy, and they couldn't hide all kinds of speculation and hesitation, and their hearts were heavy and panicked!
He Pengfei ran to this person and saw the true face of this person clearly. He was like a dried piece of firewood, his face wrinkled, his eyes sunken, and his atrophied muscles could not contain the gums that protruded from the flesh-red teeth. The wide black clothes seemed to be a little redundantly wrapped, and his body was as stiff as a wooden stick.
He Pengfei secretly scolded himself; What a scary old man.
When the old man saw He Pengfei, his sunken eyes suddenly came to his senses, opened his toothless mouth, and said with a smile: "Welcome, welcome." "He actually speaks a Tongchuan dialect!
Zhiqing and Jiang Rong, who came later, unnaturally relaxed their vigilance when they saw this old man in his old age.
The old man said that he was alone in the village, and he did not know why. As he spoke, Zhiqing kept observing him. This old man gave him a sense of déjà vu, who is this strange old man?
