I closed my eyes and went through the information in my mind to make sure I hadn't missed a single detail before slowly opening my eyes.

I took a deep breath and thought it seemed strange about this purposeful task. I've never heard the name Hallym Apartments, so I don't know what kind of place it is.

But after all, the apartment is a place for living people, and the inhabitants have lived in it for so long, can't I stay there for three days?

I was left in an apartment for three nights, and I don't know why...

But one thing is for sure, it's definitely a dangerous place.

There was a slight sound of crickets singing in the corner, and it was pitch black outside the window.

It's been busy for most of the night, and my head is a little dazed.

I put the glass cup in my backpack, retracted my thoughts, thought about what to do tomorrow, and then took off my dirty clothes and went back to bed.

After waking up naturally, I opened my eyes and looked at my watch, and it was already eight o'clock in the morning.

I got up, grabbed clean clothes from the cupboard, put them on, and put on my backpack to get ready to go.

When I got to the living room, my mother was sitting at the dining table eating. My sister and father were gone.

At this point, my sister should have gone to school, and as for my father, if he hadn't gone to find his grandfather, he would probably have gone to work.

I stopped and asked, "Mom, has my grandfather's body been found?" ”

My mother raised her head and was stunned for a moment, then looked at me and said, "This morning, your uncle came and said that your grandfather's grave had been buried. What a strange thing! Are we in trouble with some kind of enemy?"

"Just get it back." I whispered, "Where's my dad?"

The mother glanced out the door: "I went to work, I just left on a motorcycle." ”

I straightened my backpack and smiled, "Then it's time for me to go." ”

Mother hurriedly put down her chopsticks and stood up, "So anxious? Let's go after eating. ”

When I saw that my mother was coming to see me off, I quickly waved my hand, "No need, I'll eat on the way." ”

"That's good... Be careful on your way. ”

"Remember to say hello to my dad and grandpa for me. I just saw my grandfather sleeping, so I didn't wake him up. ”

With that, I walked out with my bag on my back.

"Alas, remember to wear thick clothes when it's cold! Don't eat anything unclean...", my mother sent me to the door with concern, and kept telling me in my ear.

As soon as I walked into the yard, my mother suddenly remembered something and grabbed my arm, "Wait a minute, you bring this thing." ”

"What's that?"

The mother reached into the pocket of her jacket and fumbled for a long time, and took out a small dark red wooden plaque with a series of ghost drawings engraved on it.

I took the wooden sign from my mother's hand and asked curiously, "What is this?"

"Oh, that's a good thing to keep you safe!" The mother stretched out her hand and pointed at it, and said seriously: "Didn't that Wang Immortal the day before yesterday say that you have a great omen, I can't rest assured of you, so I asked him for a way to crack it - it is this wooden card." You take it with you, and it will keep you safe!"

"Mom." I frowned a little annoyed, "How much did you give him?"

The mother rubbed her apron uneasily as if she had done something wrong, "He said that this mahogany brand works very well, as long as nine hundred..."

"Nine hundred?!" I was shocked, that old liar really dared to ask for it! What is the difference between this and robbery.

The mother hurriedly said: "Child, Mom knows that you don't believe in this, no matter whether it is spiritual or not, you listen to Mom's words and take it with you, Mom can rest assured." ”

Although I had some resentment in my heart, I knew that my mother was doing it for my good, so I reluctantly smiled and said, "Okay, then since I have already bought it, I will take it." ”

The mother's face was overjoyed, and she continued, "That immortal said that you must take it with you and pray to it sincerely. You can't even take it off when you sleep, so that it can help you to ward off the calamity. ”

"Alright, alright. Got it. I walked out of the courtyard gate with the wooden sign in my hand.

To be honest, that so-called Wang Immortal gave me a very strange feeling... It was obviously redundant for me to carry a wooden sign with me at all times.

And it seems that it was only after he calculated a hexagram for me that I encountered a series of strange things.

Although the fortune teller I met on the bus during my last mission was very clever and saved my life with a note.

But I don't think all the fortune tellers in the world are so effective. Generally speaking, their profession is to fool people, say that one of your relatives has a catastrophe, and then guide you step by step to buy the life-saving things they sell, play some lip service, make you flustered and just agree to him, then he will ask for a price and knock you hard.

That guy named Wang Xianren actually cost 900 yuan for a wooden brand, this price can simply kill the poor family, it can be seen that he is definitely not a living bodhisattva who helps people resolve disasters, he is completely a brazen warlock!

Of course, I wouldn't say that to my mother, and if a peachwood card would make her worry about me too much, then I would be dumb.

I put the wooden sign in my pocket, said goodbye to my mother, and turned to the side of the road.

Yangtian City is more than 100 kilometers away from here, and how to get there is a problem.

I stood next to a big willow tree and waited for a taxi, and when I was bored, I took out the wooden sign and played with it.

This small wooden plaque is the size of a thumb and is vermilion all over. The fortune teller said it was made of peach wood, and I don't know if it's true or not.

The back of the wooden sign is carved with strange patterns, which seem to be an eyeball, but there are thin slits in the middle of the pupil, which looks a little crazy. The front of the wooden plaque is engraved with an unknown red charm, and the strokes are made in one go, as if they are connected into a long twisted snake, as if they were drawn casually.

Other than that, there is nothing special about the wooden sign.

I weighed the wooden sign in my hand a few times and slipped it into my pocket with a chuckle.

This is completely perfunctory by the fortune teller, and it is not worth 900 yuan no matter how you look at it.

I waited on the side of the road for about ten minutes, saw a taxi coming from the west, and hurriedly stretched out my hand to stop.

The taxi slowly stopped beside me, and the driver turned his head and asked me, "Where are you going?"

"The train station." I told him where to go, opened the car door, and sat sideways into the car.

Now, the best situation for me is to have a direct train to get me to Yangtian City at once, which is the most time-saving and doesn't cause more trouble on the way.

After more than 30 minutes in the taxi, I checked out and got off at Tongxin City Railway Station.

By asking the conductor in the ticket office, I learned that there was indeed a direct train to Yangtian City. Luckily, it departed at 11 a.m. this morning, and I was just in time.

I immediately bought a hard-seat train ticket to Yangtian City and checked my belongings at the door of the waiting hall of the train station.

I thought things were going well, but I ran into problems as soon as I came up.

According to the relevant regulations of the railway station, controlled knives such as knives and daggers are contraband and cannot be brought on the train, so the dagger that I carried with me from the moment I walked out of Muyang Village was confiscated by the staff on the spot.

You know, for me, a novice fighter, the dagger is an indispensable weapon of choice, easy to hide, easy to carry, and lethal, which can make up for my lack of hand-to-hand combat.

Although I was reluctant, there was no other way but to give up the dagger for the time being, and find a place to buy a new one when I got to the station.

I arrived in the waiting hall with my backpack and sat on a chair for more than an hour for the train to finally start.

After checking in and boarding the train, I sat down according to my seat number.

According to the itinerary of the train, you will be able to reach Yangtian City this evening.

Over the next few minutes, passengers poured into the carriage one after another.

I sat near the window of the car, and not long before a middle-aged man dressed in plain clothes walked by, wearing a straw hat and carrying a blue and red woven bag, lifted it up and put it on the luggage rack above, and then took off his hat and sat on my right.

"Where's the guy?" Uncle raised his chin at me and asked in a friendly manner. His face was dark and rough, and he looked very resolute, a characteristic image of a farmer toiling in the sun.

"It's a little far, I'm going to Yangtian City." I turned my head to look at him and smiled politely.

As I spoke, I smelled a faint smell of wheat straw on his body, and judged that he should be a farmer who farmed the land.

"Yangtian is actually not far from here, I will get off at Lijiakou and sit until tomorrow."

I nodded and said, "I went to Lijiakou when I was in college, and the scenery of Mingying Lake there is beautiful, and the rice noodles on the street are also delicious. ”

The uncle couldn't help laughing and said: "Haha, you cultural people go to a place to enjoy the scenery and eat delicious food, and we in the countryside only care about where the crops grow well and where the price of grain is high." ”

I thought he had some point, and I laughed along.

The uncle raised his head and yawned, leaned back on the chair relaxedly, and his face was a little gloomy, "I came here to visit my son, and I brought a bag of sweet potatoes and a bucket of small grinding oil, but my daughter-in-law thought the sweet potatoes were too dirty, and my son didn't want them, so I had to bring things back." That kid has changed his skin and is a city man!"

The uncle raised his voice as he spoke, "They don't know that the food they eat every day is grown by rural people!" But we are looked down upon!"

I listened carefully and couldn't help but sympathize with his situation, so I comforted: "You are right, the peasants are the foundation of society. Without your hard work, society would not have functioned at all. ”

"Haha, it's still the words of those of you who have ink in their stomachs!"

Uncle was very talkative, and he chatted with me all over the world.

After a while, a pair of middle-aged men and women talking and laughing came up to them.

A well-dressed man sat down across from the woman beside him. The woman was richly dressed and behaved elegantly.

At first glance, these two people are rich families in the city.

I looked around and saw that the carriage was already full of passengers.

A hoarse radio sounded, and the train began to start.

The crowd outside waved goodbye to their loved ones in the car window, and the scenery outside the window followed in backwards.

Little did I know at this point that my nightmare had begun......
