"Please, haven't you seen the eagle? Can my sister be lighter? I've got your arm swollen. "The wind grinned like a sore tooth.

"So the old owl's cry is so intoxicating? When will we meet that village? Why is there no road under your feet now? "Don't look at Ruan Xingqi, she usually has the character of a female man, but when it comes to this time, she immediately becomes a timid and obedient girl.

"According to your grandfather's description, we should have approached that village, but ...... The nearby mountains are getting steeper and steeper, the roads are rugged and overgrown with weeds, and I am afraid that no one has passed here for many years. You'd better be prepared in advance, even if we find that village, there will definitely be no living people living there. Rufeng took pity on the jade, hugged her tightly in his arms and said.

"Huh? There are no living people...... That...... That ......"

"These old villages in the mountains, once there is no yang energy for many years, they will become the home of lonely souls and wild ghosts." Rufeng deliberately scared her.

"You...... You're necrotic! Stop it! Stop it! Ruan Xingqi buried his head in his chest, and he couldn't wait to jump up directly and let him carry him away.

Jokes are jokes, in fact, Rufeng is also a little scared, people are flower thieves, not grave diggers. This barren mountain is quiet in the dead of night, and if he really encounters something dirty, it is estimated that his courage is not much greater than that of Ruan Xingqi.

Not to mention, there is no endless road, the two of them are trembling forward, suddenly, in front of them faintly saw a bright light appeared on the mountainside, as if there was a family.

"It seems that we don't have to endure hunger and cold in the mountains at night, it's here!" Like the wind, she took her little hand, brushed aside the wild grass, and found the row of moss-covered stone steps.

After walking a distance halfway up the mountain, the ancient village hidden by the shadows of the trees finally showed the true face of Lushan.

The village is built halfway up the mountain, and there is a curved stream on the hill that flows right on the outskirts of the ancient village. Halfway up the mountain, there is a single-plank bridge in front of you, and the ancient village is on the other side of the bridge.

The water of the stream is clear and cold, without a trace of impurities. Rufeng took a sip of it, then looked up, ouch......

The dim light that appeared in this ancient village halfway up the mountain just now was actually extinguished!

"It seems that this ancient village is not very hospitable! Obviously, we are not welcome, and we blow the lamp directly when we hear the footsteps? ”

"It's okay, I've got the money." This Miss Ruan thought that there was no money in the world that could not be settled.

If there are really people living in this ancient village, they are reluctant to move out of the ancient village for so many years, and they definitely don't care about the temptation of money outside. You see, there are no telephone poles in this ancient village, and the people here must live very simply, and it is not certain whether we can eat meat tonight.

I don't know how many years the single-plank bridge is, every year there is more rain, the stream will overflow the small bridge, and after a long time, the single-plank bridge will be soaked in some rot, and people will squeak and sink. Fortunately, the two of them did not weigh much, and even if they fell into the water, the stream was only more than half a meter deep, so as not to drown.

The two of them held hands one after the other, carefully crossing the single-plank bridge. At the other end of the bridge is a row of bamboo fences, which should be equivalent to the outer wall of this ancient village, but the bamboo grows wildly, one short and the other drains the nutrients of their companions, and the bamboo in the middle has dried up, only the outermost layer is still emerald green.

In the middle of the bamboo wall is a wooden door that is hidden, which looks like a closed cottage, and has the feeling of a Miao village in Xiangxi. Mrs. Ruan said that he rested here for a night, and there were still thirty or forty people in the village at that time, and the people in this ancient village were dressed very old, like Qing Dynasty dress, and they didn't even know what year it was. However, they were very hospitable, and not only gave him food and drink, but also advised him that he should not go further in the secret realm, and that it would not be peaceful to go any further.

Almost all of these old houses built on the mountain are made of wood, and due to the humidity in the mountains, mushroom flowers have grown on the houses, and some of the old houses have been swallowed up by creepers. No matter how you look at it, it doesn't look like there are still living people.

"Huh? Anyone? Pick-up!! Hua Rufeng shouted mischievously. The only thing that answered him was the wind whirring in the mountains.

"Like the wind...... Why is it so quiet? Or...... Otherwise, let's not rest here, I think I'm too cautious. ”

"Well, I didn't stop you if you wanted to sleep in the wilderness. But...... When I was going up the mountain just now, I seemed to see a grave halfway up the mountain, and there was a figure standing in front of the grave......"

"Oops!! Don't talk about it!!! ”

Like the wind, he flashed the flashlight in front of him, and as he walked, he looked in the direction of the light he had just seen.

This ancient village is not big, there are only more than 20 households, and more than 20 old houses are all suspected of collapsing at any time, and the whole village is filled with a pungent musty smell. The rats, wild cats, and small animals in the mountains squeaked out from time to time, and the atmosphere became even more eerie.

Hua Rufeng took Ruan Xingqi around the ancient village first, and checked almost every old house. In the end, it was found that an old house on the east side was relatively less humid and more suitable for living.

He stood in front of the door of the old house and listened attentively, but there was no sound in the room. He reached out and touched it lightly, and the rotten wooden door creaked open as he pushed it open.

At the moment when the door panel was opened, facing the moonlight overhead, I saw that there was a miserable white human face in front of the door, it was an old lady, the old lady's face was pale, and a messy silver thread covered half of her face, just staring at each other and looking at Rufeng.

"Hell!!!! The two shouted in unison. He didn't care about joking anymore, he reflexively picked up Ruan Xingqi's waist, and jumped back four or five meters away with his toes.

At this time, men are still better than women, Ruan Xingqi was so frightened that he was lying in his arms and trembling and didn't dare to raise his head. Hua Rufeng ran a few steps, and thought about it carefully, whether that thing was a human or a ghost, why didn't he chase them? He turned around boldly and looked towards the door of the old house.

I saw that the old lady was still standing there, but the old lady was bowing her head and lighting the lantern, and the lantern was lit up, and the old lady's face was not so pale.

"Who's in the middle of the night?" The old lady was too old and a little dazzled, squinting and poking her head forward.

"You...... You...... Are you a human or a ghost? Rufeng stammered and asked.

"Humph! Today's young people are too impolite, don't they curse the old body? The old lady turned around with the lantern and went back into the house again.
