Chapter 38: The Strange Taoyuan Village
Yi Yang looked at Liu Bin's yin expression and frowned, as long as Liu Bin, who seemed to have a cowardly personality, talked about Taoyuan Village, he would become weird and abnormal at any time, and his emotional personality would change dramatically.
Liu Bin snuffed out the cigarette butt in his hand and continued: "At that time, I had no other choice but to agree. The fortune teller gave me an address and a business card, and I got it and set off straight away. ”
Liu Bin looked up at Yu Xin's expression on the other side, and slowly waved his hand: "That business card has long been lost." It's just an ordinary fortune teller business card. The address can tell you that it is on the border between Shengjing and Liaoyang, a village near the Hazelnut Ridge Reservoir. ”
Yi Yang saw that Liu Bin's demeanor gradually returned to normal, thought for a while, and then asked, "What have you experienced in that village?" ”
After listening to Yi Yang's inquiry, Liu Bin lit a cigarette again, but only pinched it in his fingers and burned, his eyes stared directly at the table, and after a long time, Liu Bin sighed, and said in a somewhat hoarse and cautious tone: "I thought I would never recall this incident again, but in fact, I don't remember it very clearly, but I feel very uncomfortable." Or rather, it scares me. ”
Liu Bin tilted his head to the side, his eyes became very confused, and he began to mumble to himself as if he was caught in the environment: "I arrived at that village and took that business card to find the village party secretary explained by the fortune teller. The village party secretary was very enthusiastic, and after arranging for me to stay, he also entertained me very lavistly for dinner. ”
Speaking of this, Liu Bin's tone became slow: "I saw that he didn't mean to mention the test, so I took the initiative to ask him." He smiled and told me that I was not in a hurry, and also reassured me that he would help me solve my troubles. Money and my criminal record are not a problem, and he took the initiative to transfer 50,000 yuan to me to give me peace of mind. Although I became more and more uneasy about this futile practice, I chose to stay there first, but after two or three days, I seemed to have discovered a terrible truth. ”
Liu Bin shivered as if he had suddenly chilled, and kept rubbing his shoulders with his two hands. He lowered his head and looked at the desktop as if he didn't dare to look around, and then slowly raised his eyelids to look at Yi Yang.
Just when Yu Xin felt a little chilly and unconsciously leaned towards Yi Yang, Liu Bin's voice sounded again: "For several days in a row, the people there entertained me to eat and drink at night, and I drank a lot of wine every time, and during the day I was very drunk and had been sleeping. Until that day......"
Liu Bin's tone paused, took a deep breath, and continued with a trembling voice: "At noon that day, I was woken up by urine, and I got up and went to the toilet to continue sleeping, and suddenly felt that something seemed wrong. I pushed open the door and walked out of the house, and then out of the yard to find that there was no one in the whole village. ”
Liu Bin's voice became a little gloomy, and there was a faint smile on his face, and he looked at Yu Xin lightly and said: "Not only is there no one, but there is not even the sound of chickens, ducks, geese, and other poultry, and the silence is terrible, like a dead man's village." ”
Liu Bin grabbed his hair with both hands and continued: "I didn't dare to continue thinking about it, I went back to the house and forced myself to continue sleeping, but I couldn't sleep at all, so I just lay on the bed." In the evening, the village party secretary continued to take the villagers to entertain me to eat and drink. This time I was careful and didn't dare to drink too much. The next morning, I slipped out of the house and went to someone else's house, and when I opened the door, I found that the villagers were sleeping, really sleeping, breathing, snoring. ”
Liu Bin took a puff of cigarette, looked directly into Yi Yang's eyes and said, "For a few days, I found that the whole village went down to sleep in the house during the day, and would never step out of the door. Only walk around the village at night. It's definitely not normal, they don't have to work, they don't seem to have any contact with the outside world. This makes me particularly uneasy......"
Yi Yang touched his forehead with his hand and asked, "How long have you lived there and how did you get out?" ”
Liu Bin froze for a moment with Yi Yang's question, and thought for a while before slowly saying, "I don't know." ”
Yi Yang and Yu Xin glanced at each other, and when they were judging whether Liu Bin in front of him had fallen into insanity again, Liu Bin's voice rang out again: "I lived there for several days, and gradually became familiar with those villagers, and then I discovered a strange thing. Many of the villagers were in a particularly confused state of mind, obviously a woman in her twenties, but she behaved like an old man in her seventies or eighties, and a strong man in her forties usually behaved like a girl in her twenties and thirties. However, I don't know why ......"
Liu Bin's eyes widened, and his voice also raised: "I found that I seemed to accept these things, but I should have been afraid of them, but I seemed to think that things should be like this." I felt that something was wrong, but it seemed like I was dependent on everything here. I knew I couldn't go on like this, something had to go wrong. I finally mustered up the courage to find the village party secretary and tell him that I wanted to leave. ”
Liu Bin raised his head and glanced at the two people listening intently on the other side, his left hand that did not hold a cigarette was tightly clenched, and he said in a somewhat sad voice: "I didn't expect that to become my last memory." ”
The village party secretary didn't ask why, just stared at my eyes for a long time, and suddenly asked me, who are you. I can't remember who I was talking about, but I knew it wasn't my own. I was stunned, and I saw the village party secretary on the other side laughing at me, laughing so happily, and then I didn't know anything. Liu Bin's voice gradually lowered, and then whimpered.
Yi Yang didn't know what to say for a while, and just when he was hesitating whether to speak, Liu Bin raised his head and looked at him and said, "When I am conscious again, I am no longer in that village, I have returned to Shengjing." I live in a strange house and I have a lot of money in my account and ......"
Liu Bin's voice became trembling: "It's been two years, I don't know what's going on in the past two years, the people who call me every day are strangers, they all know that I am Liu Bin, as if I am my friend, but I don't know anything, it's like ......"
Liu Bin looked at the front blankly and said, "There is a person who has lived in my body for two years. ”
"I didn't dare to talk to anyone, and I didn't dare to find my former friends, I explored my life in the past two years, as if there was nothing special, just a step-by-step life, but the more this happened, the more scared I became." Liu Bin said in a trance.
"Even if you don't have a wife and girlfriend, but what about your parents? Didn't notice any difference? Yu Xin asked.
Liu Bin shook his head: "They are in the field, they don't have much contact, they didn't find out, I look at the bank records, usually I, no, it's him, I also sent money to them." ”
"And you don't have any impression during this time?" Yi Yang was afraid of irritating Liu Bin, so he asked cautiously in a slow tone.
"Yes, looking back now, it was as if I was locked up in a room, unable to move, with simple thoughts drifting out of my mind and falling asleep right away." Speaking of this, Liu Bin suddenly trembled again: "The more this is the case, the more scared I am now, I don't know if I have passed the test now, but I don't dare to go to them again, I am afraid that I will become like that again." ”
Yi Yang nodded and said comfortingly: "It's all over, don't worry." Yi Yang hesitated for a moment and asked, "When they were in the village, did they tell them where they came from or any other information?" ”
Liu Bin shook his head blankly, and suddenly remembered something, and said, "Only when I first went there was the village party secretary who told me, welcome to Taoyuan Village." ”
