Chapter 33: Fushimura: Strange Advice
In order not to disturb the people in the village, the school bus was parked in an open field not far away.
The driver was the first to go down to find them a place to stay, while the others sat in the car and waited.
After a while, the driver walked back with a depressed face, and the head teacher saw this and hurriedly asked, "Master, how is it?" ”
The driver shook his head helplessly, "I don't know why the people here are so cautious, it seems that we can only find another place." ”
People here are cautious?
Chen Ling looked into the village, and his heart was even more convinced of his conjecture. There's a problem here.
"But we walked for half a day before we finally came across a village, what if we just left like this, what if there was no more?" The head teacher still refuses to give up, "It's so dark now, and it's very desolate here, what if there is any danger?" ”
The driver looked at a carload of students and hesitated.
"Teacher, in fact, we can sleep in the car." Chu Heng spoke at this time, his face was a bright smile that would never change, "Let's sleep at the entrance of the village for one night, and then ask for directions in the village the next day." ”
Chen Ling frowned, thinking uneasily, "This place is too weird, I'm afraid something will happen if you stay here all the time." ”
"It's only eight o'clock, and it's not time to go to bed yet, but everyone here is closed, and I always feel that something is wrong, so let's go first." Seeing that the driver and the head teacher seemed to agree with Chu Heng's meaning, Chen Ling hurriedly said.
After all, the head teacher was a woman who was only twenty-five or sixteen, and she was also a little scared when she heard Chen Ling say this, but Chu Heng obviously wouldn't.
"Oops, what's there to be afraid of. There are so many of us, and we just don't go out at night, what can happen? Chu Heng hooked Chen Ling's shoulder and looked at him with a smile, "You can't be scared, right?" ”
Chen Ling shook his head and said seriously: "I really think it's wrong here, let's leave quickly for the sake of safety." ”
"Chen Ling, if you're scared, you can go by yourself." A person in the car spoke, looking at Chen Ling with a sneer, "You want to be a coward yourself!" Don't pull us up. ”
"Hey! What are you talking about! Without waiting for Chen Ling to speak, Chu Heng immediately stopped, "Zero said this for the sake of our safety, otherwise, he wouldn't have spoken!" ”
"Humph! You obviously think he's cowardly, so why do you have to pretend to speak for him? ”
"You don't talk nonsense!" Chu Heng glared at that classmate.
The thick smell of gunpowder spread in the carriage, and seeing that the two were about to start fighting, Chen Ling hurriedly grabbed Chu Heng and persuaded him softly.
"What do we do now?" The head teacher looked helplessly at Mr. Driver.
The "......" driver rubbed the bridge of his nose in distress, and now in this situation, it is not possible to walk, and it is really embarrassing not to go.
"You can live in my yard."
An old, unwarm voice suddenly sounded.
It's not the voice of the people here!
The people in the car were taken aback, and they hurriedly looked around for the source of the sound.
The driver found that the car door was not closed, but there was no one at all in the car door that could be illuminated by the light, Chu Heng mustered up the courage and walked over cautiously.
As soon as he passed, he screamed as if he was frightened, and fell backwards to the ground.
"What's wrong with you?" Chen Ling ran over to help Chu Heng up worriedly.
When his eyes looked at the door, his heart "chuckled", and his face turned white.
"If you don't want to live, I won't mind."
The old voice came clearly from the doorway, and an old man with a hunched back, a wrinkled face, and gray hair stepped out of the shadows.
The old man's face was sickly pale, and his forehead was marked with many distinct, messy scars. The eye sockets were sunken, and the whites of the eyes were bloodshot, as if they hadn't rested for a long time.
The most frightening thing is not these, in everyone's eyes, there are many black spots on the old man's skin, and there is almost no skin color visible in the denseness.
A few people who took advantage of the poor ability to spit out directly.
The old man didn't care about their attitude, but threw out the sentence "You can choose whether to come or not" and walked slowly towards the village with his hands behind his back.
The people in the car looked at the old man's back and hesitated.
Chen Ling looked at the old man's back suspiciously, and finally he slowly got out of the car as if he had made a decision.
"Zero, what do you do?" Chu Heng stopped Chen Ling.
"That old man is not a bad person." Chen Ling turned around.
"But...... He looked terrifying. Thinking of the old man's appearance, Chu Heng felt sick.
"Look at people, don't look at appearance, I think he is kind."
"Chen Ling is right, we ......" Although the appearance of that person is indeed terrifying, we can't help but deny that he should come to them out of kindness, "Let's go, the old man is raining, and we can't live up to the kindness of others." ”
The head teacher spoke, and even if the others were reluctant, they had no choice but to follow.
The village was dark, the road was quiet except for the sound of rain, there was not even the sound of dogs barking, the gates on both sides were closed, as if there was no one here, everyone held umbrellas and walked tremblingly behind the old man five meters away.
The driver walked at the back of the line, and the head teacher, Chen Ling, and Chu Heng walked in the front.
Looking at the two people on both sides who were like rats crossing the street, Chen Ling was a little helpless, looking at the scared looks of the two, why didn't he feel it at all.
But Chen Ling didn't dare to take it lightly, after all, the identity charm in his pocket kept reminding him that this place was probably more terrifying than it seemed.
"You live in the backyard." Following the old man to his yard, the old man turned his head and looked at them expressionlessly, "Don't go out of the house at night, especially when it's almost early in the morning, and don't be too curious, if something happens, I'm not responsible." Tomorrow at dawn, you will hurry away. ”
After speaking, he didn't give them time to ask questions, turned around and walked to his room, "Bang! The door slammed shut.
"I'll go! That's a bad attitude, isn't it? If it weren't for the fact that he was an old man and took us in, I would have taught him a good lesson! Chu Heng waved his fist at the door of the old man's house.
"He's an old man after all, forget it." Chen Ling patted Chu Heng's shoulder helplessly, but his eyes looked at the room meaninglessly.
What did the old man mean by those words of warning?
What exactly happens in the wee hours of the morning?
And, why deliberately warn us not to go out?
What happens if you go out?
A few questions revolved around Chen Ling, and he silently touched the place where the talisman paper was placed in his backpack, and he had already thought about all the possible situations in his mind.
It seems that this night is destined to be unsettled.
