Chapter 5: People carry ghosts, don't look back

"He Mingrui!"

The man had taken a few more steps, and I finally saw who he was, one of the five men of the eight men we had come with.

When I finally saw my acquaintance, I couldn't help but feel a little ecstatic in my heart, and I hurriedly ran over in three steps and two steps.

However, He Mingrui looks a little bad, not only is his face a little pale, but he is slightly arched, and he looks a little heavy, which is why I didn't see it at first glance.

Actually, in fact, He Mingrui and I are not familiar at all, although we play the same game, but neither in the game nor outside the game have dealt with each other, but, in such a strange village, at such a midnight, I am still a little excited to see him, so I quickly ran over.

"Who, where are you going? Are you okay? ”

Hearing my words, He Mingrui raised his head, he looked at me with an ambiguous expression and said with a smile.

"Me, I still have a lot of favorite concubines to be lucky with!"

As he spoke, he shook the tokens in his hand, there are indeed several, although this Halloween event lasts for three days, but the sooner you avoid ghosts, the better, so, I guess everyone else should have received a lot of tokens except me.

Then he looked at me and said.

"You came just in time, I just felt so heavy on my shoulders, I don't know if it's too crazy, you help me see what's going on, I don't seem to have any problem with it myself."

I nodded, then dragged him underneath the moonlight and pulled the collar of his coat open, and I gasped.

Because, I saw two black footprints near his neck that seemed to be incomplete, and because the footprints were not very large, and they were very close to his neck, it was difficult for him to see even if he turned his head, no wonder he felt heavy, no wonder he walked with a clump of words.

"Really, there are ghosts in Nyima!"

I muttered in fear to myself.

Although we have encountered all kinds of strange things before, but, after all, those ghosts, or anything, did not provoke us, but this time it is different, it has climbed to He Mingrui's shoulders, will this be far from the black hand? After seeing these footprints, I also subconsciously touched my shoulder, I didn't have any special feeling on my body, I should be fine.

But should you tell him the truth?

I'm muttering about that.

There is a saying called "I'd rather a ghost carry a person, don't want a person to carry a ghost", anyway, no matter who carries whom, I feel that this ghost should be on He Mingrui's body, I'm afraid it's staring at me at the moment, so, I feel, I still don't say anything, of course, the most important thing is that I don't use fart if I say it, and I won't catch ghosts, so I thought about it and said.

"It doesn't seem like a big deal, did you encounter anything special?"

He Mingrui shook his head and said.

"No, by the way, it seems that someone called my name before, but when I turned around, I didn't see anyone."

I nodded and didn't say anything, because the second taboo that Biluo told us was not to call the other party's name, and it didn't say that the other party couldn't call his own name, so I think He Mingrui's ghost betrayal should not be caused by violating this taboo.

Then, He Mingrui smiled obscenely and said.

"Hehe, I guess the posture was useless just now, okay, then I'm going to be busy, you should hurry up and get busy, the spring night is short!"

With that, he waved his hand at me.

Seeing that he was leaving, I hurriedly asked him.

"Who's that, what about your phone? Is there still electricity? ”

He Mingrui said without looking back.

"I lost it just now, and I didn't find it after looking for a long time, but it's not expensive anyway, so I'll buy a new one when I go back."

With that, he walked into the darkness and disappeared.

I muttered to myself.

"It's easy to buy a new one, if we can go back!"

I realized that except for me and Situ Xiaozhu, everyone else should not have realized the danger of this village, and they were enjoying it.

However, the two black footprints on He Mingrui's shoulders made me understand that I had to leave, and quickly.

At that moment, I was suddenly tapped on the shoulder, and I was about to turn back, but my head was held down, and I saw an old wrinkled face and a cloudy one-eye.

"Wow......"

I subconsciously wanted to shout, but my mouth was covered by a dry hand.

"Don't shout, are you afraid that others won't know?"

The one-eyed old man, who looked a little scary, said in a deep voice.

Of course I know that I can't shout, he must be very secretive about asking me, otherwise he wouldn't have gone to such great lengths to pass the note, and shouting is also one of the taboos of Biluo's words, but, I'm just an ordinary person, and his sudden appearance behind me is too scary, I really can't help it.

"You...... You...... Can you really help me leave? ”

After the old man let go of his hand, I also lowered my voice and asked hopefully.

However, the one-eyed old man did not answer my question, but said with a serious expression.

"From this moment on, no matter who you hear calling your name behind you or tapping you on the shoulder, don't look back suddenly, remember."

Seeing my puzzled expression, the old man said again.

"There are three fires in the living person, one on the head and one on the shoulders, at night, the three fires will be lit to help people resist evil spirits, and if you suddenly turn back, the fire on your shoulders will be extinguished, so that evil spirits may invade, especially when the ghost gate opens the night walk of the hundred ghosts, it will be more dangerous."

After he finished speaking, I realized one thing, the reason why He Mingrui had that situation just now was mostly related to turning back, so I quickly nodded, because my grandmother had also told me about the three fires when she was alive before, but there are still too many mysteries in my head about this village, so I glanced at the big locust tree and said.

"Is this tree flesh and blood? I just felt a pulse on it. ”

The old man didn't seem to want to mention this topic, he said lightly.

"It's not something you should worry about, it's not good for you to know something, your purpose is to get out of here, not to do scientific research here, right?"

After he finished speaking, I nodded immediately, he was right, all I have to do now is to get out of here, as for whether this tree is alive or dead, who is a human being, who is a ghost, it has nothing to do with me.

So, I looked at the old man and asked again.

"Can you really help me out?"

This time the old man nodded.

Then, he looked at me and whispered.

"However, I can only show you the way in this matter, and the person who can really save you is yourself."

I nodded.

"Okay, though, what I want to know is, why are you helping me? I guess it's risky for you to sit like this. ”

I never felt that I had any terrible aura, men wanted to help me when they saw me, and women wanted to push me down when they saw me, so although this old man said that it was a surprise to help me out, but who knows if it would be a trap, I have never met him, and I have just been told by another note that I should be especially wary of the elderly and children.

Unless this old man can give me a reasonable reason.

As a result, the one-eyed old man in his last years sighed and said.

"Of course I did this for a purpose, I'm just like you, and I've been trapped in this village since I came, for too long, for too long......"

At this point, he raised his head, and his eyes lit up into the distant night sky, as if he was about to fly out, but his eyes dimmed immediately after him, and then he sighed again.

"Hey! It's a pity that I never have a chance to leave here again, but you have, so I hope you can help me bring my news and some things to my relatives when you leave, and it is of course the best to save me, if you can't save me, you can also leave something for the children, and one mistake will become a thousand years of hatred! ”

The more he spoke, the more gloomy his expression became, and I thought for a moment and asked.

"You mean, no one has left the village since you came here, have you?"

The old man nodded again.

This made me nervous inexplicably, it seemed that it was not easy to leave here, and sure enough, immediately after, the old man said with a solemn expression.

"Therefore, you must do exactly what I say, and be extremely careful in everything, for the slightest mistake will be doomed."

I quickly nodded my head to indicate that everything was up to him.

The old man continued.

"There's a well in the backyard of the house where you live, and there's a guy in suspended animation in the well, and you go back and fish him out."

Hearing his words, I was stunned on the spot, because Biluo clearly told me, the third taboo, don't go to the well, what does this one-eyed old man mean? Do you want to hurt me?

So, I looked at him and said.

"I was told not to go into the well."

As a result, the old man said with a disdainful smile.

"Don't listen to Biluo, that is a ghost."
