It was a deep male voice that came from a short distance beside me.

I immediately turned around and saw the wooden door of a room open, and a fat man with a dark figure was standing in the doorway, watching me cautiously.

"You are?"

"I'm a villager here, I haven't seen you!" The fat man's eyes seemed slightly hostile.

Are there really people living here? It's weird!

"I'm sorry, I got lost, I accidentally walked here, and I forgot how to get back!" For the sake of caution, I still didn't say what I meant.

"That's it!" The man didn't question my statement, so he let his guard down and beckoned, "Come in!" ”

I subconsciously looked at the dilapidated house, crossed the threshold and entered the house, and nothing was out of the ordinary.

It seems that this big brother is indeed just an ordinary villager.

It's just that the room is too dark, and this big brother has a dark complexion, and after entering the house, he actually blends in with the environment, and I almost didn't see where he was for a while.

"What do you call big brother?" I'm still a little polite.

"My surname is Huo, and my name is Huo Xingtan." The eldest brother briefly introduced himself.

Huo Xingtan? Activated carbon? I'm anthracite! Anyone else with that name?

Look at the big brother's dark complexion, eh, this is too human.

"By the way, why haven't I seen a few people here for so long! Many houses have been completely deserted! "I asked the question I was most curious about.

"They've all moved away!" Activated Charcoal shook his head, "Everyone has moved away!" We are already the poorest village, but a few years ago there was a big flood, and many houses collapsed, and the people in the village moved en masse. Now there are only a few families on the mountain, and my father and son! ”

"Why didn't you leave?"

"Where can I go! I can only do the craft of farming, and I can't even support my son if I leave here! Activated Charcoal shook his head, "If I stay here, I can still make a living by farming." ”

This eldest brother sounds quite difficult, and he and his son depend on each other in this old village.

"Where's your wife?" This eldest brother has a son, so naturally he took his daughter-in-law!

"I ran away with someone!" When the eldest brother said this, his face was sad, "My daughter-in-law's name is Wu Yanmei, she was originally very beautiful, and she gave birth to a baby son for me, but unfortunately I was too poor, and she ran away because she couldn't get along with me." ”

Wu Yanmei? Is there really someone who calls it anthracite? According to the urine nature of the author's name, the eldest brother's daughter-in-law is probably not in vain.

These two people, one activated carbon and one anthracite, are also a match made in heaven, and it is a pity that they can be divided.

The eldest brother continues to indulge in the sad past: "Who made me the most depressed in the village? In the past, when everyone was there, my life basically couldn't go on, and I relied on Brother Wang next door to help me often! Later, Brother Wang moved away, and my family's life was even more difficult, and my daughter-in-law abandoned our grandfather and ran away without a squeak! ”

As it sees, this kind of thing is not uncommon in poor areas.

Slow, something is wrong!

Activated carbon does not mean that Brother Wang next door often helps his family, Brother Wang moved away, and his daughter-in-law of activated carbon also ran away. Don't......

I seem to see the activated carbon overhead, a Hulunbuir grassland!

"Brother, don't be sad! When a man encounters this kind of thing, just look away, you can't get over this hurdle in your heart, and you still have to choose to forgive her in the end! "Seeing my eldest brother almost fall into grief, I could only comfort him with my pale language.

"Uh-huh!" Activated charcoal finally calmed down the sad mood and changed the topic, "By the way, little brother, how did you get lost!" Where are you from? ”

"I came from the woods at the entrance of the village, and somehow I got here."

I didn't get lost, but followed the dark shadow all the way. It's just that it's inconvenient to tell the activated carbon about it, so I made up the story of getting lost.

"That's not right! Did you come along the road? There is no fork in the woods! "Activated charcoal saw a flaw in my words.

"Well! I'm a road idiot! "That's all I can do is try to cope.

Activated charcoal did not continue to doubt my statement: "No wonder! Little brother, did you come from that old house across the woods? ”

An old house? It's where Aunt Zheng lives!

I was looking for information about the house, and it seems that the activated charcoal brother knows something about it, so it seems like a good opportunity to ask.

"That's right, that's right! There it is. I nodded immediately.

"How did you get there when you're fine? It's a haunted house, you didn't go in, did you? ”

Wait, what does he say? Haunted house?

How could it be a haunted house? How does activated charcoal know? What's going on here?

I couldn't help but say all my questions: "What's so unusual about that house?" What do you really know? ”

When confronted with my question, Activated Carbon did not answer me directly, but instead asked me: "Why are you so interested there?" Have you ever been there? ”

Activated charcoal stared at me, clearly concerned about my answer.

"Of course not! I wouldn't dare go into that kind of eerie place! In order not to arouse his vigilance, I naturally had to answer like this.

"That's good!" Activated Charcoal seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, "I'll tell you the truth, you're lucky not to go in, it's this murderer there!" ”

Murderer?

"What the hell is going on? How do you know? ”

"Not only do I know, but our whole village knows it!" Activated Carbon took a deep breath, "Because that murderer was originally from our village." ”

"Tell me what's going on!" Curiosity makes me can't wait to find out.

"That murderer was originally a woman from our village, thirty or forty years old, she was already married, married to an honest man in the village, and had a child." Activated carbon introduced in a gloomy tone, "Everything was normal, but suddenly one day, the woman's man and child suddenly died mysteriously at home. ”

The more activated charcoal spoke, the more devotion he became: "No one knows what happened that day, only that the man and the child, whose necks were cut by a sharp blade, died a miserable death." From that day on, the woman's appearance was very strange, and she often roamed around the village with a knife. She was always muttering something and couldn't hear anyone else at all, and gradually began to attack people frequently. Later, several people were injured because of her. The villagers gradually suspected that perhaps she had gone mad and killed her man and child. ”

"And then?"

"Later, the villagers discussed that they would get rid of the woman together, and on the day we were ready to get rid of him, she suddenly disappeared mysteriously. It didn't reappear for a whole year. Speaking of this, the activated charcoal's tone trembled a little, "Until someone later discovered that that woman actually appeared in the old mansion that had been abandoned for many years." ”

Is there really a murderer in that house? Could it be a mistake? Did he mean somewhere else?

"By the way, what's that woman's name?"

"I've long forgotten the name! By the way, she seems to be surnamed Zheng! ”
