Liang Zhan walked in front, and Ah Ci followed behind Liang Zhan, it was like a deserted village that had not been inhabited for a long time, and the grass was half a person high, connected one by one.

The man hid in a half-man-high haystack and could not be found at all.

It's just that there are a lot of insect ashes in the grass in summer, and it is numb and itchy when it falls on the body, Liang Zhan looked at the red bag on Ah Ci's neck, took off his thin sunscreen coat, wrapped Ah Ci, and whispered: "Wrap this, otherwise you will have to grow prickly heat and red envelopes when you go back." ”

Ah Ci was surprised, looked up at Liang Zhan, Liang Zhan smiled at her brightly, Ah Ci actually felt a little handsome.

Silently retracting his gaze, Ah Ci eavesdropped on the movement inside next to the corner of the wall, Liang Zhan walked a few steps around the main entrance, Ah Ci wanted to stop him, but it was too late.

The girl was very fast, and at once he went around to the main entrance, and he squatted at the main entrance and looked in, and the room was full of cobwebs and thick dust.

After Liang Zhan was sure that there was no one, he beckoned to Ah Ci, who got up and strode towards him.

Liang Zhan advised: "You go behind me, and I will lead the way." ”

So Liang Zhan took the lead and walked in, Ah Ci followed closely behind him, the little girl probably left, just look at the footprints on the floor.

The house is very simple, the building belongs to the 60s, and it is all made of wood.

There is a stilted building above. There are no handrails on the stilted staircase, and there are a pair of straw sandals and a pair of liberation shoes. The heels of the liberation shoes were worn out.

Liang Zhan took the lead and walked up the stairs, but the stairs were not very strong, and they creaked when they stepped on them. Liang Zhan was afraid that he would collapse if he was not careful.

"Ah Ci, don't come up, I'll go see what's up there."

Ah Ci watched Liang Zhan go up, answered softly, and walked around the room on the first floor. The house is very airy and breathable, but this kind of breath without living people is inevitably a little creepy.

Suddenly, there was a loud bang from upstairs. Ah Ci was startled, didn't think much about it, and ran up the stilted building, only to see Liang Zhan fall to the ground and didn't stand up for a long time.

"What's wrong?" Ah Ci ran over to pull him, and Liang Zhan gasped for breath in embarrassment.

"No, it's nothing, I saw two big mice, how can there be rats in this kind of place, those who want to eat but don't eat, gnaw wood?"

Ah Ci furrowed her eyebrows. "I looked at the rice bowl below, and there was indeed not a grain of rice. And along the way, their land was all barren. ”

In other words, there are more than 30 households in a village, and they basically have no food or drink, so what do they live on?

Liang Zhan patted the dust on his body, and saw a few bath barrels on the stilted building, all of which were cut down fine wood at that time, although they were old, they were also very strong.

Liang Zhan touched the wooden bathtub and sighed, "Good thing, this is all antique." ”

Suddenly, Ah Ci noticed that there seemed to be something in the depths of the bath bucket, and Ah Ci opened the lid of the bath bucket, and the lid fell on the wooden floor, raising a thick layer of dust, which was almost so fascinated that people couldn't open their eyes.

The two closed their eyes and covered their mouths for a long time, and when the dust settled, Ah Ci leaned on the bathtub and looked inside.

I saw Ah Ci take out a backpack from the bathtub, which looked like a style from more than 20 years ago, and was wearing a portrait of Chairman Mao.

Ah Ci and Liang Zhan glanced at each other, squatted down, and poured out all the contents of the backpack.

There was a diary, an old fountain pen, an old-fashioned tape recorder, and a tape tape in the tape recorder. A purse that looks like it's made of sheepskin.

Twenty years ago, Liang Zhan opened his wallet, which was a stack of old banknotes at that time, and a black and white ID card.

Liang Zhan took out his ID card, and the photo was a young woman in her twenties, who looked quite temperamental.

"People from City B, why are they here?" Liang Zhan looked back and forth at the ID card information, and handed it to Ah Ci after reading it.

Ah Ci just glanced at the photo lightly and continued to flip through the diary in his hand.

Liang Zhan smiled and put the photo back in his wallet, "What did you find?" In the diary. ”

Ah Ci turned another page and said, "She is Yu Xiaochun, a suspense writer. Because of her unhappy marriage with her husband, she came out to relax, and she once heard a rumor that there was a village called Changshou Village, and almost everyone in this village could live for more than a hundred years or more. But one day, it was discovered that the village had suddenly disappeared from this world. In order to find the village, the woman came to the neighborhood to inquire, and finally met a kind uncle, took her up the mountain, and found the village. ”

"But when she arrived at the village, she found that the people here didn't seem to be the same as the people from the outside world, and she stayed here for ......," Ah Ci said after flipping through her diary, "After about ten days, she disappeared." ”

"Gone?" Liang Zhan wrinkled his eyebrows and asked, "What else is written in the diary?" ”

Ah Ci: "I wrote some very unbelievable things, they said that the villagers here should not eat, and when they are hungry, they will gnaw some loess and tree bark to satisfy their hunger, although they are alive, they are like walking corpses." They have a ritual every night and will prostrate themselves to a cave. There are also work and rest that are different from normal people. There is nothing else. ”

Liang Zhan took the diary in Ah Ci's hand and looked at it, each diary was relatively short, and he had recorded some things that had nothing to do with it before, but it was only recorded here for ten days.

Liang Zhan thought about it and stuffed everything back into his bag: "Let's take this bag back." ”

Ah Ci nodded, and was about to leave, when she suddenly saw the little girl's family coming back from not far from the stilted building.

Liang Zhan pulled Ah Ci over: "Quickly find a place to hide." ”

At this time, they didn't have time to go down, so they went around to a dead corner of the stilted building, and hid themselves.

Suddenly, Ah Ci pulled him, Liang Zhan looked back, and saw Ah Ci pointing to a small hole under his feet, and from the small hole, he could see the situation below.

The expressions of the two became extremely grim and looked at the situation downstairs, only to see the three people sniffing around the house, and suddenly a mouse came out of the corner.

Liang Zhan was so frightened that his body trembled, Ah Ci glanced at him, and Liang Zhan smiled embarrassedly.

I saw that the little girl quickly fluttered in the direction of the mouse, and when she opened her mouth, a black thing suddenly stretched out from her mouth, and it entangled the mouse very quickly, but in two or three seconds, the mouse bit in the mouth.

Liang Zhan and Ah Ci's eyes were about to fall out, they didn't see what happened just now.

Then I was even more surprised, I saw that the two people were gathered together, not by biting, but by nibbling, and the mouse visible to the naked eye gradually revealed the white bones, and then the white bones were quickly eaten away.

Liang Zhan had a psychological reaction. I almost threw up on the spot when I covered my mouth, and I hurriedly turned my face away and didn't dare to look at it again.

But Ah Ci looked at it for a long time, and after they had eaten the rats, they left the house like walking corpses, not knowing where to go.

Ah Ci got up and pulled Liang Zhan up: "Keep up!" ”

Liang Zhan vomited all the bile out, and waved his hand forcefully, "No, no, you let me slow down first." Gott~"

Ah Ci looked at Liang Zhan with disgust, and his eyes were full of contempt: "Tong Yan will not be afraid of mice." ”

Liang Zhan was weak and paralyzed on the ground, raised his head and asked, "Who is Tong Yan?" ”

"My brother." Speaking of children's words, Ah Ci was quite proud.

Liang Zhan: "It's really nothing to be afraid of mice, seven out of ten people may be afraid of mice." But don't you see that? They're eating rats! Eat it alive!! ”

Ah Ci: "Yanyan and I have also eaten it, but it was peeled and cooked. ”

"Gross!" Liang Zhan collapsed again, lying on the ground and vomiting.

Ah Ci glanced at him helplessly, took the backpack on Liang Zhan's body, and said, "I'll wait for you below." ”

Liang Zhan's eyes were red, and he turned his head to see Ah Ci's background away, full of exclamation, this girl is really very human.

Ah Ci waited downstairs for a long time before Liang Zhan came down with his stomach propped up, his face pale.

Seeing him like this, it was estimated that he couldn't investigate anything more today, so he said, "Let's go back first." ”

"Hmm." Liang Zhan took the backpack in Ah Ci's hand, "I'll carry it." ”

"It's not heavy." Ah Ci said, but still gave the bag to Liang Zhan.

Back at the village chief's house, there were only four or five people left in the house, taking pictures or sitting there.

Liang Zhan asked curiously, "Eh, what about the others?" ”

"They were bored and said they would go around the neighborhood and come back."

Tian Youzhen: "What's better?" It's all barren mountains and mountains, and I haven't even seen a mouse. ”

At the mention of mice, Liang Zhan had a physiological reaction that wanted to vomit, and said, "Don't say it, I really saw a mouse here." ”

Tian Youzhen looked at his pale face, it must not be fake, and he left a little affection under his mouth, and did not sneer again.

Ah Ci took off Liang Zhan's coat, there were still a few red envelopes on her body, she rummaged through her luggage, and took out the flower water prepared by Yu Fengmian. Sprayed at the red envelope.

He threw the flower water to Liang Zhan again, Liang Zhan sprayed a few times, and looked at the delicate small bottle in his hand in surprise: "Where did you buy this?" It's cool and cool when sprayed, and the smell is pretty good, so it doesn't itch all of a sudden. ”

As he spoke, he sprayed into the air again, and Ah Ci wrinkled his eyebrows and snatched it back.

Liang Zhan pursed his lips: "Stingy." ”

Ah Ci didn't pay attention to him, half leaned on the luggage, half of his eyes rested, he didn't sleep well at all last night. She needed to catch up on her sleep.

Liang Zhan glanced at her and covered her with his coat again, it was very cool in the mountains in the afternoon.

The village chief did not come back, and everyone was discussing whether to go down the mountain at night?

Four of the people who went out came back, and four didn't come back, and those four were Brother Feng, who went out in the morning until now.

When they returned, the four men told what they had seen and heard.

"I walked around and the house was empty. There was nothing, and it looked like it hadn't been inhabited for a long time. ”

"We're at the top of the mountain, aren't we? I didn't know how much I had to walk if I wanted to go down the mountain, and the road was really steep when I came, and I looked at the cliffs. ”

"But how long can we stay without food, without water, without staying here? Do you rely on our snacks? ”

"There is water, there is a large reservoir on the top of this mountain, clear water, I will take you there tomorrow."

"Eh, Brother Feng, why haven't they come back yet? It's almost twelve o'clock. Didn't you get hooked by the mountain ghosts, right? ”

Mai Xiaojie scolded angrily: "Don't talk about this here, it's weird, and there are girls." ”

So there was silence for a while, and the more they stayed in the mountains, the more cold they felt, and they kept looking outside, and the village chief had not come back yet.

Suddenly, someone said, "The moon is so round tonight." ”

Mai Xiaojie: "In two days, it will be fifteen, of course it will be round." ”

"Really? I'm almost out of the picture. ”

……

A few people were in an unfamiliar environment, not sleepy, chatting about their previous lives, and someone looked for firewood to come back. When the fire is raised, it is not so cold.

"Why is it so cool in the mountains? It's summer, and it's so cold. ”

"Of course, this altitude is quite high, I only know that the mountain road has been winding for a long time, and this is all in the nest on the top of the mountain."

At four o'clock in the morning, Ah Ci got up, in fact she didn't sleep much, and the group of people was noisy.

Seeing that she was awake, Liang Zhan unscrewed the lid and handed her water: "Drink saliva." Hungry? ”

"Hmm." Ah Ci took the water handed by Liang Zhan and took a sip, only to see him rummaging in his backpack looking for food again.

A few girls with good things came over, "Handsome guy, what do you have to eat?" Also take it out and share it with everyone? ”

Who knows, Liang Zhan hugged him in his arms very stingyly: "There's nothing to eat, don't you all bring it?" ”

A few people glanced at him in disgust, "Aren't you just some snacks?" It's so stingy, we're just kidding you, you're really funny. ”

Liang Zhan sighed. Just as he was about to retort, Ah Ci pulled him and motioned him not to argue.

Liang Zhan took out a sandwich bread, tore open the packaging tape and handed it to Ah Ci, and said with a smile: "Eat it." ”

Several girls looked at his meticulous care of Ah Ci, and their eyes were a little red, although Liang Zhan was handsome, but they didn't look down on his stingy temperament, so they opened their mouths to mock.

"Ouch, your little girlfriend is quite expensive, but you're too stingy to be good. Little sister, you can look for a boyfriend with wide eyes, like this, you can't even be stingy with snacks for others. ”

Liang Zhan glanced at the girl: "Just your mouth." ”

Ah Ci commanded softly: "Ignore them. ”

Liang Zhan then fell silent again, and seeing him like this, those people were even more ridiculous.

"I guess it's a soft rice eater, little sister, what benefits did you give this guy? Let him listen to you like that? ”

"Little sister is also a person who can't stand the jokes, let's stop teasing them."

"The forest is big, and there are really all kinds of birds."

……

Ah Ci quietly asked Liang Zhan: "How much dry food do we have?" ”

Liang Zhan said softly: "If you save something." It can last for five days. There is not much water, they say there is a reservoir here. ”

Ah Ci shook his head: "Don't drink the water here for the time being, find a way to get out of here first." ”

Liang Zhan: "Wait until dawn to leave?" ”

Tzu: "Hmm. ”

Liang Zhan leaned against Ah Ci's side: "Then let's sleep a little longer." ”

Ah Ci: "You sleep, I'll keep it." ”

Liang Zhan: "It should be fine. ”

Ah Ci shook his head, very insistent, Liang Zhan yawned, "Okay, if there's anything wrong with that, you can call me." ”

At last they survived until dawn, and when the scorching sun shone into the abandoned cabin, everyone woke up in the blinding light, and the extinguished bonfire had been reduced to a pile of ashes.

Everyone felt very tired, and Mai Xiaojie suddenly said, "Brother Feng, why haven't they come back yet?" ”

Linnaeus got up and patted the ashes on his body: "Shall we go find them?" What if there is any danger? ”

Tian Youzhen: "What danger do you really have to encounter, what's the use of relying on a few of us?" ”

Linnaeus wrinkled his eyebrows and looked at Tian Youzhen: "Then you can't sit back and ignore it like this, right?" ”

Liang Zhan got up and said, "In this way, you girls stay here, and I will go to the reservoir with these buddies to look for it?" If we can't find them in an hour, we'll be back. ”

Ah Ci looked up at Liang Zhan and reminded, "Be careful." ”

Liang Zhan pursed his lips, "Give me your precious flower water." ”

Ah Ci took out the toilet water and handed it to Liang Zhan, Liang Zhan seemed to like this flower water very much, and sprayed himself from head to toe. I sprayed them again.

"There are a lot of insects in the mountains, and this one is really useful. I sprayed a little one night last night and didn't even bite me! ”

Ah Ci stared at Liang Zhan hatefully, this loser, but she felt sorry for her!

A buddy didn't like to spray this fragrant thing on his body, so he refused very harshly: "I don't spray!" Little brother, I really don't want to spray, you spray more. ”

Liang Zhan smiled awkwardly, sprayed himself a little more, and then returned it to Ah Ci.

Before leaving, he rubbed Ah Ci's hair: "Obediently wait here for Brother Zhan to come back." ”

Ah Ci gave him a blank look and reprimanded in a low voice: "Get out." ”

Liang Zhan's face was hurt: "Ah Ci is really not gentle. ”

Saying that, I went to the reservoir with these buddies. They walked for about twenty minutes.

Someone complained, "How long is this going to take?" Is there a mistake? The reservoir is not here at all? ”

Liang Zhan turned around and said: "Go further, maybe it's in front, buddy work hard, the so-called rely on brothers at home, and rely on friends when you go out?" ”

Suddenly, a fat guy walking in front of him tripped over something, "Ouch, what the hell is this......"

Looking down, it turned out to be Brother Feng's SLR camera, this thing is quite valuable, and Brother Feng is very precious along the way. How did you leave this thing here?

The fat brother picked up the SLR camera and played: "Isn't this Brother Feng's?" Why don't you see others? ”

"Take it, see what's taken?" Someone took the camera and looked at it, Liang Zhan was a little speechless, a trace of unhappiness flashed in his eyes, and suddenly he seemed to have changed person, and said coldly: "Are you still looking for someone?" ”

"What's the hurry? Doesn't it take an hour to go back? ”

The irritability in Liang Zhan's eyes seemed to burst out, and he pouted and walked to the side and squatted down and smoked a cigarette.

After only two puffs of cigarettes, someone shouted in horror: "This, what is this?!" What is this shooting!! ”

Liang Zhan threw away the cigarette and stepped on it. Turning around and rushing forward, he snatched the camera in their hands, only to see that it was an upside-down video, and the angle of view was oblique, probably accidentally taken when the camera fell.

It was a pile of jet-black insects, the size of a grain of rice, the appearance was like a layer of hard shell, shiny, the number of insects was very amazing, almost able to swallow the entire area of the person, constantly wriggling on the ground.

There are only a few photos, but everyone feels their scalps tingle. This is exactly the same as the worms that Liang Zhan spit out of his mouth when he saw the little girl's family eating rats on the stilted building.

Liang Zhan put away his camera and staggered a few steps back: "You can't go any further, it's too dangerous here, go!" Walk!! ”

Several people heard Liang Zhan's shout, and ran back without their lives.

Halfway through the run, someone suddenly fell hard, and Liang Zhan stepped forward to help him up: "Dude, are you okay?" ”

"No, it's fine." Liang Zhan had just lifted him up when the man fell back again.

"Is it going to work?" Liang Zhan asked.

The buddy shook his head: "My legs, my legs don't know why, they are out of my control." It seems like...... Something seems to be drilling into it? ”

Several people were frightened, and their faces turned pale.

"You, don't be scary."

Liang Zhan squatted down and asked, "Which leg?" ”

"Left, left leg."

Liang Zhan lifted his trouser leg and sat on the ground in fright, moving a meter away.

I saw that the man's legs were crawling with the black insects, which were still digging into the flesh and skin, and some of them had already burrowed under the skin, leaving dense blood holes the size of rice grains.

A few of the big men were so frightened that they screamed like little bies at that time. My feet are all weak.

The guy was dumbfounded and wailing on the ground, stroking the bugs on his legs with his hands, and screaming frantically: "Quick, get rid of them, ahh......hhh They're burrowing into my skin and eating my flesh! ”

Where else would anyone dare to lean into the past now? I could only watch the guy cramp and crawl on the ground, "Help me, you save me!" Help me......"

Liang Zhan looked around and ripped off the vine man, which was extremely thin and quite flexible. Liang Zhan took a deep breath and leaned over. shouted: "Come a few people, hold him down!" ”

"This ...... We don't dare! ”

", isn't it a man?!" Liang Zhan scolded.

Only then did a few people cower and walked over and pressed the man to the ground, the man was still howling, in fact, he didn't feel much pain, but the psychological horror was more harmful than the physical one.

Liang Zhan didn't dare to touch his calves that were eaten by insects, so he had to pull his pants up, and then use the rattan man, and tie a knot at the thigh.

The man shouted, "Hold on! Be sure to tie it tight! Don't let them get into me, huh——! ”

The vine man had already strangled blood marks on his thighs, and Liang Zhan let go. Then he picked up the buddy and walked forward with difficulty.

Those few were so scared that they didn't dare to take a second look, of course Liang Zhan was also afraid, but there was no way now.

That buddy's leg that was tied by the vine man was already bleeding and purple, and it is estimated that this leg is useless. But it's better than dying.

After walking for more than thirty minutes on the way back, Liang Zhan didn't take the buddy into the house, but just put him on the grass ten meters away.

The buddy was now devastated, and when he saw Liang Zhan leave him alone, he hugged his legs: "Little brother, you can't leave me, you can't leave me." ”
