After walking for more than half an hour, we came to a village where almost every house was built one by one with stones, and I guessed that it might be the village of Zephyr.

There is a large millstone at the entrance of the village, and there is a well of unknown age next to it, and there is still a little cooking smoke from the chimneys of a few houses.

Originally, I saw a few hairy children playing on the street, probably because they saw us, but before I could go up and talk to someone, they had disappeared without a trace.

At this moment, a middle-aged woman dressed plainly, with a blue headkerchief wrapped around her head, a patched apron around her lower body, a flat pole on her shoulder, and two iron buckets hanging, walked over with a "squeak".

When he arrived at the ancient well, he skillfully and laboriously lifted two buckets of water and poured them into his iron bucket, hung up his flat shoulder, straightened his waist and wanted to leave. I chased after him and asked, "Sister, is this Xifeng Village?" ”

The middle-aged woman glanced at us, said yes lukewarmly, and then walked away hurriedly.

As we continued our walk down the street towards the village, we found that many of the houses were locked, and only a few of them were occupied.

I knocked on a house nearby, and it was an old lady in her seventies or eighties who opened the door, and I said that we were here to stay overnight, and the old lady muttered something and said let's wait a minute.

Then the old lady called out an old man in his fifties, who was wearing an army green coat and a ** hat, and walked out with a dry tobacco pole in his hand.

The old man's name was the old lady's mother, and he claimed to be the village party secretary here, surnamed Jin. Jin Zhishu beckoned us into the house, poured us water and asked, "What are you doing here?" ”

I said that we were here for an outing, and I heard about it so I came here to stay for a few days to feel the life, and then I took out 200 yuan and hoped that he could find us a place to live.

Jin Zhishu collected the money, and was also a lot more enthusiastic, saying that we would stay in his brigade courtyard later, which contained bedding and beds that he specially used to greet strangers.

I took out the newspaper and asked, "Have any of these people ever lived with you?" ”

Jin Zhishu's face changed slightly when he saw the newspaper, and said, "I lived here, but they left the next day and never came back." ”

"And where did they go?" Zhang Jun asked.

Jin Zhishu looked at us, shook his head and said, "I don't know, why are you asking this?" ”

I explained curious, what I saw on the road so I wanted to ask.

Jin Zhishu closed the door and said, "Don't talk about these things in the future, it is said that they went to a place where they should not go and offended the resentful spirits before they disappeared." ”

I asked him where he shouldn't be and what the ghosts were, and the secretary said.

He said that their village had always been very comfortable, and there had never been a major incident of robbery and robbery, but many years ago, there was a sudden big car accident in the village, and a car of more than 20 men, women and children were all carried into the bottomless ditch.

Since then, their village has become famous, first of all, the city allocated donations, and later people from all walks of life came to fund, in line with the principle of building roads before getting rich, the men, women and children in the village went into battle together, and jointly built a small oil road.

That road pinned the hopes of the whole village, so it was named Fortune Road. But the road is only halfway through and it's not repaired, do you know why? Jin Zhishu's eyes were shining as he spoke, as if he saw the enthusiastic masses at that time filling in the roadbed with a shovel and shovel.

I asked, "Why?" ”

Jin Zhishu said fearfully: "Later, the master who drove a large mechanic there suddenly seemed to be under a spell, and he entered the bottom of the ditch with a bang on the accelerator, and several road repair workers were killed on the spot.

I said, "Could it be that the driver has some kind of illness himself?" ”

Jin Zhishu said that the police were also suspicious at the time, and the matter passed, and later the road repair boss invited a master to continue driving the excavator at a high price, and this time the excavator did not fall. But the master said that he didn't open anything, he said that he saw someone digging under the shovel of the excavator, so he urgently avoided it.

Later, he couldn't invite the feng shui master of the village, and he said that the road could not be repaired, because the noise was too loud and alarmed the souls who died last time.

I gave Jin Zhishu a cigarette, and Jin Zhishu took a few puffs and said, "Later, I asked him to do it, and it is strange that strange things have not happened since then." It was only later that another section of the road was repaired, and then it rained for more than ten days, and the landslide covered the section of the road that was repaired.

Later, the geological bureau said that this place was not suitable for road construction, and that another site must be selected to build the road, but in view of the large amount of construction and the shortage of funds in hand, the city decided to move the residents of this village out, so the road was so deserted. ”

I asked, "Why are there still residents in the village who have not left?" ”

Jin Zhishu sighed and said: "First, there is no money, and secondly, it is not good to move out of the family here." ”

Zhang Jun asked: "Jin Zhishu, your child should have moved out, right?" ”

After hearing this, Jin Zhishu touched his tears again and again and said: "No, this matter started from a later accident." ”

Jin Zhishu said that his son originally planned to move out, but it had just rained that day, and his son and daughter-in-law went to the city to see the house, but when they came back, a large mudslide crushed a cart of people inside.

Zhang Qian pinched my palm, and I followed her gaze to see a black-and-white photo sandwiched in a palm-sized old photo frame on the table. The woman in that picture is holding a child, much like the woman in a padded jacket I saw on the road today.

Jin Zhishu also found our sight, pointed to the photo and said that it was his daughter-in-law, who remembered that it was early spring when she died, and the weather was still very cold, and she was wearing a cotton jacket with flowers on a blue background.

Later, Jin Zhishu said that his mother was also mentally stimulated because of that incident, and her consciousness was no longer clear, and the happy family was so fragmented and went into decline. So he didn't want to go out anymore, so he stayed in Zephyr Village.

I sighed and asked what happened to the missing people?

Jin Zhishui wiped a few handfuls of tears before saying: "Later, these two things made the little-known Xifeng Village become a famous village in the city, and many rumors became more and more fierce, saying that they heard ghost screams in the middle of the night in Xifeng Village, and saw dead people on the road, etc.,

So it attracts a lot of explorers and thrill-seeking young people. However, many young people have disappeared here again, so that the news of the ghost village of Xifeng Village has spread, and since then no girl has been willing to marry to Xifeng Village, and the guys in Xifeng Village have to move out, so it has achieved the current appearance of Xifeng Village. ”

I asked the feng shui master where he lived, and the secretary told him, "Don't worry, he'll come to you in a moment." ”
