All the way over the mountains and mountains, chopping through thorns and thorns, several people are tired enough, because there is no road here at all, we are walking through this primeval forest, so it is particularly difficult to walk. Originally, the branch secretary told us that we would almost arrive after walking another forty or fifty miles, but when we got to the dark, we didn't see the so-called village.

At this time, Lao Tang began to complain, saying that he hadn't seen the village for a day in this ghost place, could it be that he had gone in the wrong direction? Or is it that the village has long been a forest, and even if you get there, you can't see it?

Xu Xiaolin thought for a while and said, "The direction is not wrong, we are going in the direction that the branch secretary said, maybe we can go further." ”

In this way, we continued to rush forward, and walked about a few miles of mountain roads, and then one of the people brought by Xu Xiaolin suddenly pointed ahead and shouted, "Look, you have found the village." ”

We looked in the direction he pointed, and at the bottom of the forest, we saw that it was brightly lit, and there were many people living there, and it was really a village.

We were all a little excited, and Lao Tang said, "There must be a village there, maybe it's the Taiping Village we're looking for." ”

Saying this, I was about to rush to the village in front of me, but at this moment, Xu Xiaolin was stunned and didn't leave, so I asked her, "What's wrong with you?" Why stand still? ”

Xu Xiaolin's expression was very strange, and she frowned and said leisurely: "Didn't the branch secretary say that there was no one in Taiping Village for a long time, and the whole village died two or three hundred years ago, how could the lights still be on?" ”

As soon as we heard this, we were all shocked, and Lao Tang's steps to rush forward immediately stopped, turned around, and exclaimed in surprise: ", how did I forget this." Don't...... Isn't that the Taiping Village we're looking for, or are we seeing a ghost? ”

Yes, the lights are obviously bright ahead, and at a glance you know that it is a village where many people live, but the Taiping Village we are looking for, according to the branch secretary, has long been empty, how can there be lights? Is it haunted there, all we see are ghost fires, or is it not Taiping Village at all, but another village?

All of us, you look at me, I look at you, and we are all stunned. For a moment, the atmosphere was a little tense and a little weird.

After a while, Xu Xiaolin said: "You are Mr. Yin and Yang, can you tell whether there is a ghost fire in front of you or a real light?" ”

Lao Tang and I both shook our heads, who can tell if it's too far away?

Lao Tang said: "Don't scare yourself, maybe the Taiping Village we are looking for is not the Taiping Village we are looking for at all, but another village." ”

I thought about it, but shook my head: "The branch secretary said before that Taiping Village is in this mountain, and Taiping Village is haunted, and no one came, which means that there can't be other villages here, otherwise no one would dare to come." Let alone...... There's not even a road here, so you can't say that in this era, there are isolated paradises, right? ”

Xu Xiaolin also agreed with my opinion very much, nodded and said: "Ergou is right, there must be a problem with the village in front, if it is a village where people live, there will definitely be a road leading to the outside, and it is impossible for the branch secretary to take us over the mountains and mountains." ”

Lao Tang was stunned: "If there is only one village in Taiping Village in this mountain, and the people in the village have long since died, then the lights are bright at night, isn't it haunted." ”

Xu Xiaolin said: "Of course, there may also be a possibility, that is, the people who guard the tomb of the Taiping Tomb voluntarily isolate themselves from the world, in order to keep it a secret, after all, there are treasures in the Taiping Tomb that they have guarded for generations." ”

Lao Tang and I both nodded, thinking that what she said also made some sense.

At this time, one of Xu Xiaolin's subordinates asked, "Then what should we do now?" Will it go straight to the past, or how? ”

We all looked at each other, and Lao Tang said, "Regardless of whether there are people or ghosts living in front of us, we won't know in the past, anyway, they don't know why we came." What do you think? ”

I nodded and said to Xu Xiaolin, "If we don't enter the village, we won't be able to figure out if this is the Taiping Village we are looking for." Now that a village is in front of us, it is impossible to bypass it and continue to walk, in case it is really the Taiping Village we are looking for. ”

Xu Xiaolin said: "Although this thing is very strange, but so far, what you said is right, if we want to know the truth, we have to go into the village to understand." ”

Seeing that Xu Xiaolin agreed, we walked towards the brightly lit village below the mountain.

Although we saw that the village was at the foot of the mountain, it was a long way to walk there, so we walked down the mountain, down the mountain, and through a barren meadow more than half a man high, and finally came to the outside of the village.

Now standing outside the village, the lights at the head of the village are already faintly visible, and in the moonlight, the outlines of the dark houses appear in the night, and it is clear that this is indeed a village. According to visual inspection, this village has about a few dozen households, which can only be regarded as a small village.

At this time, Xu Xiaolin asked me if I could tell if there were people or ghosts living in this village.

I opened my eyes and looked at it, and my brow furrowed, because I saw that the lights in the village did not look like ghost fires, but real lights.

When I told them what I had seen, they were all stunned. Yes, nowadays we are actually more willing to believe that everything in front of us is the work of ghosts, after all, the branch secretary once said that there is no one in this mountain for a long time. It is all the more strange that there is not only a village in front of us, but also a village that is most likely inhabited by people.

I said, "Don't you even know that there are people living in this mountain?" ”

Xu Xiaolin said: "It's impossible, the branch secretary is a local, and there is no way out here, it doesn't look like a place where people live." ”

At this time, Lao Tang said: "Such a strange thing Lao Tang has encountered for the first time, I think we should not be suspicious and suspicious, go directly to the village, don't you understand everything." ”

I nodded, the village was in sight, we had to go into the village and figure it out. I turned around and told everyone that they should not wander around when they entered the village, nor should they answer people's words casually, and that everything should be done according to my will.

Everyone nodded their heads to indicate that they understood, and then I led everyone to the village.

The road into the village is a small bluestone road in the wasteland that allows one person to pass, the bluestone path is overgrown with weeds on both sides, more than half a person is high, it is very desolate, and there are weeds growing on the road, just like a deserted road that no one has walked on for a long time, which makes me feel inexplicably a bad feeling in my heart.

As soon as I arrived at the entrance of the village, I stopped, only to see that there was a stone tablet on the side of the bluestone road at the entrance of the village, the stone tablet was covered with moss, I called Lao Tang to use a flashlight to shine in front of it, and found that the stone tablet was written on the three big characters of "Taiping Village".

Seeing this, I couldn't help but be stunned: "Taiping Village? It turned out that this was the vanished village we were looking for. ”

Lao Tang said: "It seems that we have found the right place and are not going in the wrong direction." It's just that this Taiping Village has not disappeared, not only is the village still there, but even the lights are bright at night. ”

I said, "It's even more strange how a village that has been rumored to have disappeared for two or three hundred years is still brightly lit." If this is not Taiping Village, it is reasonable, but this is the Taiping Village in the mouth of the branch secretary, don't you think it is strange? ”

Xu Xiaolin also said: "Ergou is right, we have to be careful, I always feel that this village is abnormal, weird, I believe that the branch secretary will not lie to us, he said that this village has long been empty, it will not be groundless, nonsense." ”

There was a slight pause at the entrance of the village, and then we entered the village. Although the village is lit up, it is very quiet and there is no barking of dogs. We walked all the way over, only to see that the houses here are all houses from a long time ago, all the same color wooden structure, at a glance there are some years, to give us the feeling that this is an ancient village, without a little bit of modern elements, as far as the eye can see, everywhere is antique, very simple.

After walking a few hundred meters, there is a shop in front of you, the door of the store is open, and the lights are on inside. Lao Tang said: "The shop is lit up, there must be someone, why don't we go in and inquire about the situation?" ”

I nodded, and walked over to the shop.

As soon as I entered the store, a pungent smell of Chinese medicine came to my face, and this was actually a pharmacy. The pharmacy is not very large, it is full of two tall medicine cabinets, and on the counter of the medicine shop, there is a kerosene lamp, and a small flame is flickering.

Yes, the village is obviously not electrified, and people still use old kerosene lamps for lighting, which is very rare in this day and age.

We looked at the pharmacy and saw no one, so we shouted, "Excuse me, is anyone there?" ”
