After speaking, she shook her head, and said, "This place is full of weirdness, I think it's better to find your family first." ”

I nodded, and cast my gaze into the distance, where the plains of this canyon had a wide visual area. Suddenly, I shuddered. Her whole body was trembling, and she pulled Lin Zhiyan's shoulder with her hand, motioning her to look into the distance. She also suddenly shivered all over her body.

As the road extended, many emerald green colors were scattered in the fields and open yards ahead. Some even propped up wooden houses. These emerald green objects are round and massive, and they are like huge watermelons that we have just discovered. Although their numbers are scattered, at a glance, they are definitely quite a lot.

Under each watermelon vine lay the corpse of a person from the night village, no wonder, there was no one to see along the way. Could it be that the Night Village has been wiped out because of the spread of this strange watermelon? It's strange, Lijia Village and Zhangjia Village, which are not far away, have no rumors, and the same thing has not fallen on their heads. Even the people in those two villages didn't know about it.

Here, what's going on?

Suddenly, we heard a strange 'poof' sound, and to our surprise, the broken watermelon vine actually rotted quickly. A pungent stench suddenly emanated, and the large watermelon with a diameter of one meter seven shy was yellowed from the inside to the outside from its verdant color, and then cracked into countless petals with a 'crackle'.

The stench radiated outward from the watermelon pulp, and we subconsciously retreated several meters back. As the stench overflowed, the whole watermelon began to decay at an accelerated pace from the place where it had been pulled out of the corpse's navel, and finally turned into a pile of yellow-brown dust.

The pile of dust was disgusting, like thin mud, and the stench persisted.

Looking at this strange scene, my heart is full of bitterness. Night-Clan, it seems that the danger is great!

Watermelon is also known as summer melon, cold melon, family and genus classification: angiosperm subphylum, dicots, cucurbitidae, cucurbitaceae, watermelon. The suitable temperature for growth is 25 to 30 C. Open field cultivation is only feasible in areas with an average monthly temperature of more than 3 months in the year when the average monthly temperature is 19C. It is a long-day plant that likes strong light.

From this point of view, the night village is not suitable for watermelon cultivation at all. Although it is located at a high altitude, the climate is very low, with an average annual temperature of around 12C, and the hottest time in summer is no more than 23C. What's more, the land in Yecun is not a dry and hot, drought-tolerant, well-drained, and deep sandy loam soil. Even if watermelons are grown, they should be malnourished.

What caused it to mutate and begin to use humans as soil or even nutrients to begin to multiply? Is there a connection between their mutation and the mutation of the German cockroach? There are two species in a row in one place, even an idiot can clearly guess with his knees, there must be some invisible black hand behind the scenes.

Who is that man? What is the purpose?

With doubts, we moved on. I saw a lot of strange watermelons all the way green, and their leaves fluttered in the wind, and they grew happily. But when I think of what is under the watermelon, I can't help but feel sick.

Lin Zhiyan followed closely behind me, her eyes full of serious vigilance. Even the beautiful scenery of the small bridge, the flowing water, the ancient road, and the thin horses has become a kind of eerie scenery with an aggressive posture.

It is more than an hour away from the entrance of the night village to the old house of the main family. But it was measured with small feet ten years ago, and now that I am twenty years old, my feet are longer, and my pace is faster, and I should be able to walk in forty minutes.

The whole village began to darken, and the sun sank deep into the mountains, and even the fiery clouds disappeared. Only the afterglow still shines on the earth. Although there was still plenty of light, the distant scenery had begun to fade.

Along the way, except for those horrible watermelons, I never encountered anything weird. But when we crossed a small bridge, we were startled by a loud 'pop' sound.

I looked around, but I didn't see any living creatures falling into the water, so I had to explain to myself, "It's a frog!" ”

Lin Zhiyan didn't believe it very much, "Lie to me, people in the city don't understand, how can there be a frog diving so loudly." If you look at the range of the water droplets, the creatures who fell into the water were at least the size of an adult. ”

"Then see for yourself how someone might be diving nearby." I pointed to the crystal clear ditch beside me. The ditch is more than five meters wide, but it is very shallow, and the depth is no more than one and a half meters at most. And the water flow is gentle. If an adult had jumped into the water, it would have been clear at a glance, not to mention that the place where the splash was made was only a few meters away from us.

"And what do you say it is?" Her heart suddenly tightened: "It can't be a cockroach again, right?" ”

"What kind of cockroach weighs the same as an adult? If it really exists, it would have become the overlord of the earth long ago, and there would be no human beings. You're a dead woman, you're obsessive-compulsively phobic. I scolded her angrily, thought about it, and suddenly remembered a certain story from the past" Speaking of which, I remember listening to the story of this creek from my second uncle. ”

"Tell me about it." Lin Zhiyan suddenly became interested.

"This stream is called Qiaonu Creek, and it is said that there was once a woman who couldn't stand the stimulation because of the death of her child, so she committed suicide by jumping into the river on a dark and windy night. It is said that since then, when the villagers walk by the bridge at night, they will often hear a 'poof' sound. At first, people thought it was a frog diving, but that sound can be heard by chance in winter. Gradually, the villagers felt that something was wrong. Until one day, a villager clearly saw a woman in red, holding the body of her son, standing quietly on the bridge by the faint light of the lantern. Then in the blink of an eye, he jumped into the water. The figure of the woman in red suddenly disappeared as soon as it touched the stream. At this time, people realized that the sound of 'poof' was a frog jumping into the river. It's the woman's ghost that keeps committing suicide! It is said that it was all because she was wearing red clothes when she was dying, so she turned into a ghost and was looking for a stand-in. "I glanced at the old woman with my eyes," and legend has it that the spot where you are standing is exactly where the female ghost in red dived. ”

"Cut, the old lady is not scared, such an idiot ghost story ghost will be afraid." Lin Zhiyan's face didn't change for a moment, this guy, except for cockroaches, is really not afraid of anything.

I smiled awkwardly, and was about to get back into the field, when suddenly my eyes straightened. The whole face turned pale, pointing at her back, her throat 'gurgling', and a chill filled her body.

"Poof", the voice sounded again. This time I could clearly see the inexplicable splash of water, as if something invisible had crawled out of the water.

A few seconds later, a pair of pale hands groped from the soles of Lin Zhiyan's feet to climb to their shoulders, those hands seemed to have been soaked in water for a long time, and their arms and palms were already swollen, and even a large number of places were ulcerating, and yellow pus flowed out. Drops of filthy pus trickled down her clothes, staining her blue hiking outfit a burnt yellow and then a black color.

The old woman saw my frightened look and pursed her lips, "You think you can scare me by making this face, what hasn't the old lady seen?" ”

"Idiot!" I finally reacted and shouted, "Mengyue,! ”

The Guardian looked at me blankly, not understanding what I told her to do.

"What, you can't see?" I frowned.

"Look, what?" Li Mengyue asked in confusion.

My brow furrowed even tighter. The hands were still climbing, and they had already climbed to the top of Lin Zhiyan's head. The swollen hand touched the dead woman's hair, and the festering and charred pus kept dripping on the dead woman's head and sliding down her forehead. She didn't even feel anything. And the Guardian didn't see anything. Could it be that all of this is just a hallucination of my own?

I rubbed my eyes with my hand and opened them again, breathing a sigh of relief. Those festering hands are gone! Sure enough, it was just an illusion. There must have been so much going on today that my head was already overwhelmed.

Turning his head with a sense of relief, his heart, which had just calmed down, suddenly beat wildly again, this time with a big upheaval and a chest cavity almost bursting due to the massive amount of blood pouring in.

The pale and puffy hands were under my nose, with long, curly nails sharp like claws. It was struggling to crawl out of the river on my right.

I was so frightened that I took a few steps back, and the guardian girl and Lin Zhiyan looked at me strangely as if they had seen a ghost, and then looked at the position where I was staring at it, but found nothing.

"Xiaoye, you, what's wrong with you?" The old woman seemed to sense that I was not joking, and asked cautiously.

The Guardian Girl moved faster, and although she didn't see anything, she resolutely dodged and stood in front of me. Cut off my vision with my body. Then he looked at the place where there was nothing out of the ordinary.

Her body was slender and graceful, and naturally she couldn't block all my vision. On either side of her body I could clearly see a woman in red climbing the bridge from the river at a slow pace, she raised her sticky head, and I finally saw her face clearly.

It was Shen Hongyi, and the female ghost turned out to be Shen Hongyi.

"You broke your oath." The female ghost looked at me with dark pupilless eyes, and her slender limbs crawled to the ground like a spider.

"I'm going to eat you!" It opened its mouth, full of small, sharp teeth, and lunged at me.

Did I really break my oath, even if her bones had already been burned, and she had crawled from the depths of hell to tear me apart and eat me?
