Chapter 21: The Outside World
Time passed quickly, in a blink of an eye, the next day arrived, and when Huang Jun woke up, he found that something was wrong, the sky was not bright, or rather, it was still dark, I don't know when it started, and the sun never came out again. After discovering this fact, Huang Jun remembered the scenes described by Xiaoli's parents in the letter, and now, it was finally their turn, and they also encountered the same situation, but they had no choice but to look at it slowly.
Fang Li's mood is not stable, firstly, she has a little impression here, which evokes sad memories from before, and secondly, she doesn't know why, she always feels that she has a little connection here, but she can't say what this connection is. And Huang Jun, Shu Yao and Old Man Zhu also had their own thoughts, but no matter what, they didn't expect that they waited for a day the next day, but they didn't wait for Zheng Hua.
Huang Jun really couldn't wait, he didn't wait for Zheng Hua to come, so he took the initiative to start looking for Zheng Hua, but the strange thing was that the whole village was so big, no matter how he looked for it, he couldn't find Zheng Hua's location, let alone the people who saw Zheng Hua. In desperation, several people worked together to light torches in all the places that could be lit in the entire village, and the whole village could be seen clearly. Looking outside through the village, they still couldn't see any roads around, and those things outside were still surrounding them, looking at them from afar, although they couldn't see the face of the place, they could feel a cold gaze, Huang Jun didn't know what these damn things were, and they didn't know what they wanted to do, but they had no way out. Where is Zheng Hua? Originally, they would meet together the next day, but now they can't find anyone.
Just when Huang Jun and the others were depressed, Old Man Zhu came with the news, saying that he had found Zheng Hua, Huang Jun heard it, and hurried over, but before he could start to get excited, he saw a scene that made him extremely cold, at that moment, it was like a basin of cold water, pouring him from beginning to end, under the leadership of Old Man Zhu, they came to a house, this family has long been empty, but the layout and facilities inside are still intact, on the bed, they found that someone was lying alone, from the side, No matter how you look at that person's body shape and clothes, they are Zheng Hua, but when they take a closer look, they find that it is nothing more than a skull inside, and the person has been dead for a long time.
Huang Jun frowned, he couldn't think of why, how could the people who were talking together yesterday become like this today, then Shu Yao said: "How is it possible, is this really Zheng Hua?" But why don't I look like it? ”
Old man Zhu said: "That's right, he is Zheng Hua, I have confirmed, although the corpse can no longer be seen, I still recognize some marks on his body, there should be nothing wrong"
Huang Jun also nodded and said, "That's right, this is Zheng Hua, look at his body, what is it?" ”
Shu Yao and the others followed Huang Jun's fingers and found that there was still an ornament hanging on Zheng Hua's body, but this ornament felt familiar no matter how he looked at it, Huang Jun said: "Don't guess, this ornament is mine, I originally gave it to him yesterday, for fear that I wouldn't find it, through this ornament, he can contact us, but I can't imagine that he didn't contact us, but he has always been here."
Shu Yao: "But, how is this possible, you mean, you mean that this skeleton is the one who talked to us yesterday?" Moreover, he also took away our ornaments and tokens, is this really a ghost? But I don't think it's like there's a ghost? ”
Huang Jun shook his head and said, "I can't see what happened, the person who came to us yesterday, I can't see what is dirty, but now the evidence is here, this is Zheng Hua." And that's the only way to explain a lot of things, otherwise we wouldn't be able to explain what happened."
Shu Yao said: "For example? ”
Huang Jun said: "For example, why Zheng Hua has lived here alone for so many years, but he has not died, for example, what he eats and drinks, we have no way to explain it before, but now there is a way to explain it, the answer is that he died a long time ago, before we came"
Shu Yao said: "So what did we see yesterday?" I'm sure it's not a Yin Spirit? ”
Huang Jun thought for a while and said: "Actually, I didn't understand it at first, but then I figured it out, in fact, the person who came to us yesterday, or that thing, is not a person, but it is definitely not a yin spirit."
Shu Yao said: "It's not a yin spirit, so what is it?" ”
Huang Jun said: "To be precise, it's just an obsession, but this kind of thing is very rare, it is rare for ordinary people, and not everyone will encounter it, our luck is really good."
Shu Yao said: "Obsession? What do you mean? How come I've never heard the word? ”
Huang Jundao: "To be precise, that person is Zheng Hua, not Zheng Hua, he represents a wish of Zheng Hua, good luck is to go out, it is conceivable that Zheng Hua has been thinking before he died is to be able to go out, to go out from here, and we came here, it triggered this obsession, the situation is like this, but we didn't realize anything in that situation yesterday"
Shu Yao said: "Then, what he said yesterday, can we still believe it?" ”
Huang Jun said: "Those words should be correct, and, depending on the situation, Zheng Hua did not die at the hands of those things, he was trapped alive and trapped in this village"
Shu Yao said: "That is to say, Zheng Hua always wanted to go out, but he didn't go out, and then he was trapped to death"
Huang Jun nodded and said: "Actually, the whole thing is not difficult to guess, judging from this corpse, Zheng Hua is likely to have died more than ten years ago, and may have died shortly after saving Fang Li, but he has always had an obsession and wants to get out, so this is why this situation will occur."
Old man Zhu said dejectedly: "In other words, we basically can't count on him now, right?" ”
Huang Jun said: "Look at the current situation, can you still count on it?" However, the situation that Zheng Hua said is still very helpful to us, and we don't need to be too discouraged. At least we can be sure that no one can hurt us in this place, just a bit of a hassle to get out"
Shu Yao said: "Let's bury Zheng Hua first, put him here, we can't bear it" Everyone listened and nodded, especially Fang Li, who was also rescued by Zheng Hua, and now seeing Zheng Hua like this, I can't help but feel sad. The group dug a pit and buried Zheng Hua, but they felt a loss that they had never felt before.
That night, they didn't go back to the original camp, they slept in that old house, because the conditions here were not bad, of course, there were dead people, but it was nothing to everyone, and I don't know how many times they had seen this situation, and if Zheng Hua really had a ghost, it was still Huang Jun's desire to come out, because then, at least he could know more things, but obviously, it was impossible.
After a night of silence, they fell asleep, and they didn't know how long they slept, Huang Jun was woken up slowly. He remembered that it was Old Man Zhu who was on guard before falling asleep, and in this barren mountain and wilderness, Huang Jun and the others had to have a vigil for each person when they slept, otherwise they would not be at ease to sleep. And this time, it was the turn of Old Man Zhu to get old, Huang Jun was woken up by Old Man Zhu, and at this time everyone else was also woken up by Old Man Zhu, everyone woke up from their sleep, I don't know what happened, Huang Jun was about to ask, but as soon as he saw Old Man Zhu's face, he knew that something was not good, Old Man Zhu's face turned white at this time, Huang Jun knew that since he came in, Old Man Zhu has always seemed very calm, first, he has had a lot of adventures before, and secondly, he is older and has a strong psychological quality, but now he sees Old Man Zhu like this, Huang Jun knew that something big must have happened, and secretly said bad in his heart.
"What's wrong?" Huang Jun asked in a deep voice, it could be seen that he was not in a relaxed mood now.
Old man Zhu just looked at them and said with a wry smile: "You look around, you will understand"
Huang Jun only then turned his head to look around, and suddenly felt awkward. Originally, the Zhengjia Village where they lived was dilapidated everywhere, it was a building of the Republic of China, it seemed that no one had been active for decades, and there was a rotten atmosphere everywhere, but now they looked around again and found that the room they were sleeping in now was magnificent and beautifully decorated, Huang Jun was shocked and said, "What's the matter?" ”
Old man Zhu smiled bitterly: "I don't know what's going on, just now I was fine, I didn't sleep at all, but just now I took a nap, I estimate that it will only be a few minutes at most, and then everything changed, I don't know what happened"
Huang Jundao; "Where are we now, where is this?" After Huang Jun finished speaking, he ran outside, and then everyone also went outside, it doesn't matter if they don't look at it, they were startled when they saw it, Huang Jun found out at this time that what they saw in front of them was beyond their imagination, not because of anything else, but because the village they saw in front of them was still that village, and the house was still that room, to be precise, they didn't change places, but the architectural style has all changed, it is a modern architectural style, which completely shows the old Republic of China style. But Huang Jun carefully observed the layout outside and found that this was still Zhengjia Village, but, obviously, it was no longer the original Zhengjia Village.
"There's something weird about this house," Huang Jun said at the first glance.
Shu Yao also nodded and said, "That's right, we, we seem to have changed places?" ”
Huang Jun nodded and said: "If my guess is correct, we are not safe now, this should also be Zhengjia Village, but, this Zhengjia Village, maybe it is the projection that Zheng Hua said, there must be that thing in it"
Old man Zhu said: "It turns out that we are in that place, although it is a little dilapidated, but the safety is still guaranteed, but now we can't even guarantee safety, no, we must find a way"
Huang Jun smiled bitterly: "It's that room is weird, we have been ignoring a question before, ignoring why Zheng Hua died in that room"
Fang Li said at this time: "Why did my uncle die in that house?" It looks horrible here."
