8. Maze Town-1

I felt Fu Shaolou wake up, and then got up and came to me, but all the sounds were distant soundproofing in my mind at this time, like an unreal existence, I only felt that he was patting my face, I could hear him calling my name in music, I kept looking at him, wanted to say something, but couldn't say a word, wanted to move, but found that the body was not my own at all, and I couldn't move at all.

This state lasted for a long time, until finally I gradually came to my senses, Fu Shaolou has been sitting next to me, and when I can sit up on my own, he looked at me and said, "What's wrong with you, when I woke up, I saw the door open, who did you see?" ”

I shook my head, trying to stay awake, and I said, "I don't know who he is, but obviously he wants to tell me something, but I can't understand it." ”

Fu Shaolou asked, "Why can't you understand?" ”

I said, "He told me – I'm early, why did he say that, why did I come early?" ”

Fu Shaolou fell silent when he heard this, and I looked at him and asked him, "Did you think of something?" ”

Fu Shaolou shook his head, I looked at him and said, "I feel that you are a little different from before. ”

When he heard me say this, he looked up at me and asked me, "What's the difference?" ”

I said, "I have the impression that you are not someone who asks and doesn't know anything. ”

I looked at him, he knew what I was talking about, but he didn't speak, he said, "There are some things that can't be said, so you can only say that you don't know, this kind of helplessness you can't understand now, but when you can understand, you won't be obsessed with the level of saying and not saying." ”

I couldn't quite understand what he was saying, so I still asked him, "Why can't you say it?" ”

He looked at me, but laughed and said, "You don't get it yet." ”

I looked at him, and he said, "Sleep for a while, and it'll be almost dawn." ”

I felt that the effect of the medicine was still there, dizzy, I fell asleep very quickly, I felt very sleepy, obviously lying on the dirty ground, but it was as comfortable as lying on the most comfortable bed, until I woke up, I was pulled back to reality, and when I opened my eyes, it was already very bright outside, the sun was rising very high, I slept for a long time, and I also found that Fu Shaolou was gone.

Yes, gone, not in the house, not nearby, and no message left.

It's the same as Zhang Ziang, this is my first reaction after realizing this problem, and I'm thinking, where will he go?

When I came out of Cao Guang's house and outside, the whole town of Mapo was completely silent, and it was surrounded by mountains, and few people would come, which made me feel like I was in the ruins.

But soon I remembered a place, yesterday Fu Shaolou told me that Mapo Town has been completely deserted since 20 years ago, but at this time of year there will be such a group of inexplicable people in the name of burying the bald leprosy, so the strangest thing in the whole village and town should not be the tomb of the bald leprosy?

If these are true, then there must have been twenty graves of the bald leper from twenty years ago to the present, and on the night we came, we knew from the bald leper that his daughter-in-law was buried in a wasteland not far from the village.

I don't know why, when I think of this, I think of the West Hutong community, I remember that next to the West Hutong community, there is also a cemetery, I also saw this cemetery at that time, the dead people in the West Hutong community will be buried in this cemetery, the two places think about it, there is such a trace of imagination.

I wondered, whether it was Zhang Ziang or Fu Shaolou, would they all go to the cemetery?

So I went to the place of the cemetery according to the address I knew, and I walked all the way, but nothing happened, and I didn't meet anything, but when I got to the cemetery, I found that the car that I had lost last night was parked on the edge of the cemetery, and I saw that there were many graves standing here, and I counted them, but there were twenty-one graves, and one more grave.

There is a mound is the latest, it is obvious that it is the mound that was buried a few days ago, I have been walking over, the grave is photographed in two rows, the latest mound is closest to me, I walked along, only to see that the name of "bald leprosy" is written on it, but the inscription is very simple, there is no year and year of death, and there is no life.

I kept walking over and found that the words on the tombstone were the same, except for the old and new tombstones, there was no difference, I kept seeing the last tomb, and then I found the problem, that is, the last tomb, that is, the extra one, the tablet was empty.

That is, it was not buried under the name of a bald leper, so who would it be? I further speculate that if the first grave of the bald leper was built twenty years ago, then this grave is further ahead, does it mean that it existed before that?

I don't want to be okay, but when I think about it, I want to find out what kind of ulterior secrets seem to be hidden in it, why do you have to bury the "bald leprosy" once a year and build an identical tomb?

I looked at the graves, except for the latest one, I suspect that all of them have been dug up once, and since the investigation team had already discovered this place, it was impossible that they would not have been dug up to see, and as for why they were still so intact, I thought it might be the same as the corpses in the basement.

So I began to wonder, what is in the grave?

I remember when we came in, Zhang Ziang said that the coffin was empty, because the weight was wrong, that is, there was indeed a coffin in the tomb, so what was in the coffin or was there really nothing?

I then came up with the idea of digging up the grave to take a look, but when I looked at the other graves, I hesitated for a moment, and I thought of a question, since the investigation team had also dug up the grave, why they did not damage the appearance of the grave, there must be a reason for this, this thought made me not act rashly, but turned back to the car.

There was water and food in the car, and after I opened the door, these things were still there, to be exact, the things in the car were still there, and they were not moved, but I soon found that it was not untouched, and there was something different inside, because I saw that there was one more thing in the passenger seat of the car.

It was a stone, and it was still stained with mud, as if it had accidentally fallen into it, but the glass of the car had not been damaged, and there were no other traces of dirt around the seat, and the stone was out of place with the seat, more like someone had deliberately placed this thing here.

I wondered why a rock was placed here, and who put it, and I even began to wonder if it was Zhang Ziang who moved the car, but why didn't he show up, as if it didn't make sense.

I didn't move the stone when I saw it, but ate something and drank some water to replenish my strength, I checked the performance of the car, and looked at the fuel gauge, there was no problem with the car, if I drove away now, it would be enough to go back to the city, but I didn't do it, now I have only one question in my heart, where did Zhang Ziang and Fu Shaolou go, but the two big living people disappeared into the village and town out of thin air, I think there seems to be a deeper secret here.

And at that time, Zhang Ziang was reluctant to tell Fan Zhen, nor was he willing to leave here, did he imply that he had actually been prepared, and knew what was here, and even what would happen?

I originally wanted to call Fan Zhen for help, but in the end it didn't, I suddenly felt that maybe I made this call, and some things changed completely, as for where it changed, I don't know.

When I couldn't sort out these messy thoughts and clues myself, I received a phone call, and to my surprise, this call turned out to be from Jin Muxi, I thought it would be someone from the investigation team, but I didn't expect it to be him. Since the last kidnapping, I have always thought that he was not alive or dead, and even suspected that the body hanging from the tree was his, but now it seems that it is not him.

That is, he did not die.
