Inside the locker was a crimson spider, and it was unclear what material it was carved from. The spider's eight legs were spread out, the size of a man's palm. What makes people feel strange is that the eyes on the spider's head seem to have been deliberately enlarged, and they are surprisingly large. The spider was carved so lifelike that even though I was mentally prepared, I was taken aback.

There was a letter pressed under the spider, and Fei Yunfan reached out to get the letter. As soon as my hand touched the spider, I felt like my hand had been pricked by a needle as thin as a cow's hair.

He retracted his hand violently, and saw a neat row of small red rashes on the thumb and index finger that had just touched the spider, and the burning pain crawled from the fingertips to the rest of the body. For a moment, his sensory system suddenly became much more sensitive, and even the blood flow in his body could be felt clearly, and the blood vessels in his hands were abnormally protruding, like an old tree root wrapped around his arm.

Fei Yunfan's first reaction was that he was poisoned, and he tried his best to calm himself down, recalling what he had learned in the wilderness self-rescue class.

The first thing you do when you encounter a poisonous snake bite is to stop the blood flow, and find a way to eliminate the poisonous blood. He took off his coat and tied a knot in his arm, then squeezed his index finger hard, and after squeezing for a long time, he found that the epidermis of his finger was not broken.

"Sir, do you need help?" The waiter saw that Fei Yunfan had been in the locker for a long time, and came over to see the situation.

Fei Yunfan waved his hand at him, then grabbed the letter and spider and stuffed it into his backpack, and stumbled out of the arena.

After walking for a while, the pain in my body slowly subsided a lot. Fei Yunfan sat on the flower platform on the side of the road, most of his clothes were wet with sweat.

When I regained a little strength, I found a nearby café and sat down. I ordered a cup of hot coffee, drank it, and when I stabilized, I took out the letter and read it. There was only a sticky note paper with a dozen words scrawled on it.

No. 78, No. 3, Fenglin Road, Rongwan Town, remember to come alone.

This should be the address that Xie Wei left to contact him, Xie Wei knows very well that although he came to Changsha to study for a long time, he is basically an otaku type, and almost all of them are around the school.

The universities in Changsha are planned to be located in the university town, which belongs to the suburbs of Changsha on the map, and Rongwan Town is the place where the university must pass through to Changsha. So it's the only place he's familiar with.

Judging from the degree of sloppy handwriting, Xie Wei wrote it in a panic. It is almost a day since he disappeared, and he must be found as soon as possible, and perhaps only by finding him can explain what has happened in the past few days.

Fei Yunfan asked the waiter to pay, then lost a fifty bill and hurriedly left the café, and immediately called a taxi and went straight to Rongwan Town.

In the car, Fei Yunfan's mind kept replaying the scenes of Liu Hui and Zhang Xian's deaths, as well as Xiang Gu Hao's weird smile at him when he left.

Finally, the car arrived at No. 78, No. 3, Fenglin Road, Rongwan Town, No. 78, No. 3, Fenglin Road, Rongwan Town, was actually a very old rental book.

In the past, the book rental house was very popular, and students had no money to buy books to read, so they would go to such a book rental house to rent and read, usually for a book to read for a day. But now, with the development of the Internet, there is no room for book rental shops for a long time, but I didn't expect there to be one here.

Fei Yunfan quietly walked into the rental bookstore, the store is not big, about 100 square meters. The room was very dark and gloomy, and the rows of shelves were densely packed with old books, most of them novels. The room is partially separated into a guest lounge area with several tables and sofas.

There was no one in the room, Fei Yunfan saw Xie Wei sitting on the sofa in the corner at a glance, his face was very haggard after not seeing him for a few days, when he saw Fei Yunfan, he looked behind Fei Yunfan in a panic a few times, and was sure that it was a person, and then said with a stable mood: "You are finally here." ”

The owner of the bookstore came over and asked what he wanted to drink, and Fei Yunfan symbolically ordered a cup of green tea.

Smell, and the familiar smell of the dead.

Now that there are fewer people who come to rent books to read, this rental book house has also made a proper transformation, half of it has been changed to the appearance of a café, to be honest, this seems nondescript, not Chinese or foreign, and the business looks so bleak, but it has left them with a clean place to talk.

"Why are you here?" Fei Yunfan had thousands of questions to ask him on the way here, and the first question after meeting him was that he hadn't even thought about it.

Xie Wei didn't seem to hear the question, and continued, "Are they okay?" ”

Xie Wei's question made Fei Yunfan very surprised, didn't he know that Zhang Xian was dead and Xiang Guhao had gone crazy? Tentatively asked: "Don't you know that Zhang Xian is dead?" ”

Xie Wei's emotions immediately became excited, and he muttered alone, "Dead, dead." Sure enough, they are going to die! I said he wouldn't let us go. ”

The owner of the bookstore also heard their movements, and stuck his head at the bar to see what was going on.

Fei Yunfan calmed Xie Wei's emotions and said, "What the hell is going on? You slowly tell me that I will help you, we are brothers. ”

Xie Wei trembled and took his cup of tea and drank it in a big gulp, and it didn't take a few sips of tea to see the bottom, Fei Yunfan helped him add some hot water, and accompanied him without saying anything, and Xie Wei's mood stabilized after a long time. "I went to a place some time ago for a tour, remember."

Fei Yunfan nodded and said, "Well, you also came to tell me." Does this have anything to do with tourism? ”

Xie Wei sighed and said, "It's said to be a tour, but it's actually an adventure. If it hadn't been for that expedition, we might have been fine. ”

It was twenty days ago, Xie Wei accidentally saw a novel on the Internet, which was the quiet and quiet landlord. At night, Xie Wei actually had a dream, dreaming that he actually appeared in some passages in the novel, and did some things that he had never experienced before.

When he woke up the next day, those things were as if they had really happened, and he was very puzzled, thinking that he was just reading novels and being fascinated, so he would think about them day and dream at night. When he clicked on the novel again, he found that the update part was actually something he had experienced in his dream last night.

The plot of the novel and the dream will be exactly the same, and he really wants to know what will happen to him in the dream. What direction will the story go. Every day after that, he would read the novel as soon as it was updated.

After a long time, Xie Wei found in the message area that he was not the only one who dreamed at night. For this reason, Xie Wei also set up a QQ group, which was quickly filled. Xie Wei discovered a very strange thing from this, not everyone has the same dreams. Everyone's dreams branch off after the big story.

Xie Wei paused, and wanted to use some language to explain the situation, but Fei Yunfan said it for him: "Do you want to say that the book of the Quiet Mansion Lord is like a huge tree, and the dreams of each of you are the branches and leaves on this tree." ”

Xie Wei nodded, took a sip of the tea in the cup, and continued.

In the group, I quickly chatted with a few fanatics of the book. In the end, everyone decided to meet at the next place online. When we met, everyone was very surprised, except for Yun Bingning, the other three were actually classmates in our dormitory.

He didn't say the name, Fei Yunfan had already guessed, he was talking about Liu Hui, Zhang Xian, and Xiang Guhao.

In the afternoon, the five of them didn't talk anything other than novels. They felt that there was a special magic to the book. Suddenly, Zhang Xian proposed to us to go to the quiet ancient building to have a look. Because he felt that the quiet ancient building must be real, otherwise the dream would not be so real, maybe this is the place where they lived in their previous life.

Except for Yun Bingning, everyone knows that Zhang Xian is a Tibetan, and reincarnation is a deep-rooted thing in their thoughts. We have a strong interest in Zhang Xian's story. In the end, everyone unanimously decided to find the quiet ancient building.

Fei Yunfan knew that the Jingyou Ancient Mansion was just a fictional thing in one of his dreams, how could it be real, and asked, "You have found the Jingyou Ancient Building?" ”

"In Zhang Xian's dream, there was a place name like Jingxi Town. That's what we used to look down on. ”

In the days that followed, Xie Wei searched for place names from all over China on his computer, and finally found the name of Jingxi in a town in Sichuan.

On the same day, Xie Wei and his party got on the train to Sichuan, and this is the day Xie Wei came to tell me that he was going to travel, they got off the bus in Chongqing and transferred to the bus to Jingxi. By the time they arrived at Jingxi Town, it was already dark. But Jingxi Town and what they imagined were completely two different situations. After the reform and opening up, Jingxi Town served as the three traffic passes of City A, City B and City C. The economy is quite prosperous. There is no such cold and terrifying atmosphere as in the novel. However, they still have a glimmer of hope for the mystery of the quiet ancient mansion.

Xie Wei and the others found a small hotel in Jingxi Town to stay, and by the way, they inquired about the location of the quiet ancient building. But what is unexpected is that the people here do not seem to know that there is such an ancient building, and finally learned from an old man that the current Jingxi Town is not the original site of Jingxi Town before, but such a town that emerged in the reform and opening up, most of the people in the town are from other places to build here, and there are very few real original residents. The old man was moved here from the former village by the original inhabitants who were previously here. There is an old mansion that has been abandoned for a long time, and I wonder if it is the one we are looking for. According to the old man's grandfather, the people in the old mansion suddenly fell ill with a plague and all died overnight. No one has been in the house since.

Xie Wei and the others inquired about the specific location of the ancient mansion from the old man and decided to set off the next morning.
