Wang Dahe stood on the ground with one foot, and the other foot was still straddled on the bicycle, and he had been standing on the side of the road for a long time.

He went to his brother-in-law's house in the city today, and because he drank a bottle of wine with his brother-in-law, he lay down at his brother-in-law's house for a while, and when he came back, he was afraid that he would not be able to get home in the dark, so he left the road halfway and forked into a small dirt road.

It was a road he had long been accustomed to, and he would often take this little dirt road when he came back from the city.

In fact, not only him, but the whole village will choose this small dirt road, which is not easy to walk, but is much closer.

But today I don't know what's going on, he's standing at a fork in the road, and he doesn't know whether to go left or right.

"Haven't I woken up yet? I remember that there was no fork in the road. ”

He pondered in his heart, glanced left and right, and saw that there was a large paddy field in front of him, but there were houses in front of him on the left, and there was a figure walking forward a few hundred meters away from him.

The figure looked like a woman, dressed in colorful clothes, and walked slowly and slowly.

So Wang Dahe turned onto the path on the left.

After another journey, Wang Dahe couldn't help muttering in his heart, wondering if he would go the wrong way? It stands to reason that you should have seen the village you live in a long time ago, right?

Thinking so in his heart, he raised his face and looked forward, and suddenly found that in front of him, there was still a figure slowly walking forward.

And the figure, which looked like a woman, was dressed in colorful clothes.

It was the figure he had seen at the fork in the road earlier.

But he had been walking here for at least half an hour from the fork in the road, how could it be that this slow and leisurely figure had always been in front of him?

Wang Dahe's heart became more and more uneasy.

However, he had never believed in ghosts and gods, and he thought that this figure was definitely not the one before him, but it just so happened that the two figures were women, and they were both wearing colorful dresses.

So he still had the courage to shout: "Eldest sister in front, can you go forward to Wangjiatan Village?" ”

He shouted loudly enough, but maybe the woman was still a little far away, and she didn't even look back at him, still walking slowly and leisurely.

Wang Dahe was stubborn, thinking that I still don't believe it, I ride a bicycle and you walk, can I still catch up with you?

Last time, he only looked at the scenery on both sides, and didn't pay much attention to the figure in front of him, but this time he stared at the figure with both eyes, pedaled the bicycle with both feet, and chased forward for more than ten minutes in one breath, but the figure still swayed and walked in front.

Wang Dahe was really a little scared, and when he looked to the west, the sun had set, and only a touch of red glow was left in the sky.

Wang Dahe thought to himself that I would simply go back to the highway, even if it was dark, at least I would not make a mistake by following the highway.

He beat the big drum in his heart, and he didn't dare to raise his face to look at the colorful figure again, so he jumped off the bicycle directly, turned the bicycle around, and rushed back along the path.

More than half an hour passed in this rush, and a fork in the road appeared again in front of him, vaguely as if it was the three-way intersection he had passed before.

He thought that he had turned on the left road before, and now that he wanted to return to the road, he naturally had to take the right road.

So he turned onto the right side.

At this moment, the sky is already dark, but fortunately today is the thirteenth day of the lunar calendar, and the moon is hanging in the sky early.

Wang Dahe continued to move forward by the moonlight, and walked for about half an hour, when two more forks appeared in front of his eyes.

Wang Dahe was stunned, thinking that when he rode from the highway before, he didn't see so many forks in the road? Could it be that he was thinking about his heart all the way and didn't notice that there was a fork in the road?

He didn't dare to turn left and right immediately, but stood at the fork in the road and looked into the distance.

According to his thoughts, the place must not be far from the highway, and there must be cars on the highway, so he just had to look at the side where the car lights were on, and go that way.

It's a pity that his eyes hurt, and he didn't see the light of a moving car, but under the shadow of the moon, faintly, there seemed to be a figure walking in front of him.

And in front of the figure, there were dots like house lights.

So Wang Dahe got back on his bike and turned onto the road on the left.

Moving forward a little further, the light of the stars was still far away, and the figure he had seen before was still flickering in front of him.

Wang Dahe's heart was furious, thinking to himself, could this person also ride a bicycle?

So he shouted with all his might: "Is it the eldest brother or the eldest sister walking in front, can you walk slower and let me ask you for directions?" ”

His voice was heard far away, and in the empty and silent field, it was so clear that it was a little harsh.

But the figure in front of him was still swaying forward, without the slightest intention of stopping and waiting for him.

Wang Dahe gradually began to panic, thinking to himself, didn't I meet the legendary "Lu Chuangzi"?

The so-called "Lu Chuangzi" is a legend that has existed in their hometown since ancient times.

Legend has it that when a person is walking on the road, if the surroundings are empty and he is alone, then it is easy to meet the "road breaker".

And once he encounters a "road breaker", this person will go around in the wilderness and never find his way home.

The only way to get rid of the trouble is for someone who knows him to pass by and shout at him, so that he can get rid of the confusion of "Lu Chuangzi" and go home with the people who know him.

As for whether "Lu Chuangzi" is a ghost or a demon, a spirit or a demon, it can't be examined, in short, it is a very scary thing that will be ecstatic.

Therefore, in the past, the adults in the family did not let the children go out as soon as it was dark, so as not to meet the "road breaker" and never come back.

It's just that with the rapid development of the economy, remote villages like theirs have become richer, and every household has a television computer, and the more information they receive, the less belief in ghosts and gods they have.

It was not until the last few years that there were suddenly more incidents of "road breakers", and in their neighboring village, there were three cases of "road breakers" harming people last year.

But Wang Dahe has never believed in evil, he always feels that he is sitting upright, and he is in the right blood, even if there is really a "road breaker", he will not find him.

The more Wang Dahe thought about it, the more frightened he became, and he didn't dare to continue walking, so he could only turn his bicycle head and go back again.

After another half hour, there was another fork in the road.

He had taken the left side of the road before, but if he turned right this time, it would be a turning back.

So he turned the road on the left.

It felt dark in front of him, without any lights at all, but at least he didn't see the vague figure that had been hovering in front of him.
