It was the hour of the sun, but the sky over the village seemed to be covered with a layer of gray fog, and even the houses and roads at the entrance of the village were dyed with a very light gray-brown color.

Seeing this scene, I suddenly had a feeling of confusion.

It's like being stuffed in a cramped secret room at the hottest time of summer, and the intense stuffiness makes people feel light-headed and can't lift their spirits at all.

But in fact, the temperature in this area is not too high.

I shook my head, shook off the sleepiness that had been building up all night, and then calmed down again, and then slowly came to my senses.

Lu Shengcai is also drowsy now, and I don't know if he is affected by this dull breath, or if he is simply sleepy.

Yunshang didn't seem to be affected, she looked at the road connecting the village, but kept pouting.

I asked her, "What do you see?" ”

Yunshang shook her head: "I just think this place is very strange, not to mention dull, at noon, there is not a single pedestrian on the road." ”

Lu Shengcai rubbed his eyes: "Isn't it because it's noon, everyone in the village has gone home for dinner, and there is no one on the road." Stop grinding, find a place to stay, I'm so sleepy right now that my eyelids are fighting...... Hah-"

As he spoke, he started to laugh, and his mouth opened wider than the dung pit.

I thought to myself, too, I haven't slept all night, and now is the time when everyone is sleepy, so it's best to find a place to settle down first, whether there are ghosts in this place or not, and then explore him when you have enough energy.

This village is far away from the town, and deep in the mountains, I thought that we would have to find a farmhouse to take us in today, but unexpectedly, in the depths of the village, we really found a small inn.

I heard the owner of the shop say that this piece of land was originally beautiful, and there are often people who come to visit, but it was more than 30 years ago, since the beginning of 30 years ago, there are few outsiders in this area, but after all, the store was left by his father, anyway, such a big house, it is also drying, he simply returned to his ancestors and started the business of retaining customers.

In addition, the owner of the shop also revealed that there are not many people in this place, but at the end of April every year, there will be a financier who comes here to stay overnight, and every time that person comes here, he will give 20 times the house money, he does not accept it, and people are not happy.

I have long forgotten what the shopkeeper looked like, but I remember that when I saw him, he was in a state of grogginess, except for his very slippery mouth, and the elder did not say a word without ventilation.

Strangely, he didn't ask us about our identities because we were young, and hastily packed up two rooms and let us stay.

My main memory of the village is not the village itself, but now I only remember that the small inn is quite dilapidated, what it looks like, and I have almost forgotten that the only impression is that the wooden door of the guest room is quite old, the door shaft is rusty, and when the owner closes the door and goes out, the noise on the door shaft startles me goosebumps.

After a night of chasing the mountain road, Lu Shengcai and I didn't care about thirty-seven twenty-one, fell asleep on the bed, it was really on the pillow, and we didn't know anything as soon as we closed our eyes.

I don't know how long it took for us to wake up again by the sound of a frightening door opening.

At that time, I was in a daze, and I thought that an evil spirit had rushed in, so I stabbed myself up, only to find that the person who pushed the door in was Yunsheng.

Yunshang came in with a thick bamboo lunch box, and as soon as she walked to the center of the house, she quickly blocked her nose with her cuffs: "Why is it so stinky?" ”

I shrugged my nose and sniffed, really, there was a salty smell wafting through the room, it was quite strong, and I only sniffed it hard, and I felt that my nose was about to fail.

This made me wonder: "Who threw the rotten salted fish under our bed, so big?" ”

Lu Shengcai's voice floated faintly: "It's my feet." ”

I was shocked: "Why do your feet stink like an atomic bomb, wash your feet!" ”

"I've been sweaty since I was a child, and I walked so much yesterday, can I not stink. Look at you one by one, you can't discriminate against me because I'm sweaty. ”

Lu Shengcai muttered as he took clean socks from his backpack and went outside to wash his feet.

In the past, Lu Shengcai washed his feet very frequently, and I really didn't know that he was sweating heavily.

Yun Sheng fanned her hand in front of her nose: "No, the smell in your house is too disgusting, let's go to my house to eat." ”

I really can't stay in this house, and I have no other choice but to eat in the Yunshang House.

During the meal, Yunshang told me that she took advantage of the time when Lu Shengcai and I were sleeping to go around the village a few times, and found that there were not many people living in the whole village, and the farmland outside the village had long been bad, and the owner of the inn was not normal.

When I heard her say this, I wondered: "The people in the village don't farm, what are these dishes you call made of?" Hey, didn't you sleep? ”

"I don't usually sleep much," Yunshang said, putting a piece of chicken wings into my bowl, "I think these dishes may have been brought from another village." ”

"Are there any other villages around here?"

"I found a boundary monument behind the farmland with the words 'Baishui Village' written on it, but I didn't dare to go too far, and when I saw the boundary monument, I came back."

"You just said the shopkeeper is abnormal?"

"Yes, don't look at the aura on his body that seems to be quite normal, in fact, the three souls are all empty, as if they have been hollowed out by something. His broken mouth should also be because of the unstable human soul. ”

I put down the chopsticks in my hand and pondered for a moment before I spoke: "Isn't it normal for no one to come to this village, and the situation in the village is so weird, isn't it noticed?" ”

I heard Yunshang say: "I don't know if outsiders can enter the village, but in the evening, I saw a few villagers walking along the road towards the entrance of the village, as if they wanted to get out of the village, but when they arrived at the entrance of the village, they were like spinning tops, and they turned back with a twist, and then walked straight towards the depths of the village, until they crossed the field barrier, and did not stop until they reached the boundary monument of Baishui Village." They stood motionless in front of the monument, as if they had lost their souls, and then it was a long time before they left the monument and returned to their homes in a daze. ”

Yunsheng didn't get to the point, but I understood what she meant, she was trying to say that the villagers' minds should have been affected in some way, and whenever they wanted to leave the village, they would walk to the boundary monument in a distracted manner.

It just so happened that Lu Shengcai also washed his feet and came in to eat, so I beckoned him and Yunshang to hurry up and fill their stomachs, and when they finished eating, everyone set off together and went to the boundary monument to feel the situation.

It was already midnight after eating, and except for me who brought all the dry magic weapons with me, Lu Shengcai and Yunshang didn't take their luggage.

This area is gray during the day, and at night it is even darker and scary, even the moonlight can't shine in, I can only light a ghost lantern to illuminate, the candle flame is not too bright, can only flickering to illuminate a small piece of the road, I really regret not bringing a flashlight, relying on such a light, walking at night is a problem.

Along the way, I always felt that something was wrong, and it wasn't until I walked up the ridge that I reacted, and the village was surrounded by a large area of mountains and forests, but why couldn't I even hear the movement of the mountain wind? Looking around, there was only dead silence and dullness in the darkness, and even the air seemed to be holding a thick breath of death.
