Chapter 14: Xiao Fang's Letter
Huang Jun said: "You found the letter that Xiao Fang wrote to you?" What the hell is going on? ”
Old man Zhu said: "I'm still confused, I don't know why Xiao Fang sent me a message when he died, did he already know that I was coming?" But then I saw the letter, and I knew that Xiao Fang was really dead, and he couldn't die anymore."
Huang Jun said: "So, what does Xiao Fang's letter say?" ”
Old man Zhu said: "This matter is very complicated, if you have to say it, I don't know where to start, but I can let you see his letter" Old man Zhu said, carefully took out a paper bag from his body, and took out a small envelope from the paper bag, the envelope looks very shabby, as if it was still a long time ago, from the top of the envelope, the format is also according to the previous format. Huang Jun carefully opened the envelope and saw a yellowed piece of paper, on which a string of very elegant brush words appeared.
"They also like to write with a brush?" Huang Jun said in surprise.
Old man Zhu said: "You know, we are adventurous, we always like some ancient things, we are often like this, just the content inside, you can take a look at it."
Huang Jun nodded and began to read the contents of the paper seriously. Below, is what Huang Jun saw.
"I don't know if you will receive this letter, and I don't know when you will receive this letter, if you can, I hope you will never receive this letter, but since you have received this letter, it means that you have also chased it, then, the first thing I want to tell you is: do not enter Zhengjia Village, the first time you see this letter, hurry up, if you don't leave, it will be too late."
If you read this letter, it means that I am probably gone, and I think they must have killed me at that time, but you don't have to avenge me. Take good care of Lil, we only have one daughter for her, help us take care of her. I know that according to your character, if you don't make things clear to you, you won't give up.
On that day, we had agreed to go together, but you were gone, so we had to leave first. But luckily it is, otherwise, I really don't know what to do. We had walked a long way that day along the route we had set before, and finally we came to the mountain forest, and at that time, it was not yet dark. We didn't want to go in so quickly, our initial idea was to rest outside for a night, but that night, we met a strange group of people, a group of peasants in tattered clothes.
You know, I wondered how there could be such a strange group of people in this place, when there were no people at all. But at that time, we didn't suspect it, but asked them on the road and asked how to get to Zhengjia Village. At that time, a group of them heard that we were going to Zhengjia Village, looked at us very strangely, and then said something to us in a voice that we did not understand, and pushed us forward. It means that we are not allowed to come near.
I was very angry, but there were so many of them, and I didn't want to be too careful, so I dealt with them on the surface, and when they were far away, we quietly approached the mountain again. This time, we didn't see anyone, so the two of us discussed it and decided to go deep into the forest to have a look. And by then, it was already dark.
It was cold and dark at that time, we were lost, in the mountains and forests, we were confident enough not to get lost, but this time we miscalculated, we really got lost, we walked for a long time, we were all in the same place, and we couldn't see the end, and the forest was dark in the distance. We didn't know where we were running at the time, we just found it hard to get out.
But the more terrible thing is that it is not this, and what is even more terrifying is that we can't wait for dawn. You may find it strange, but that's what we're having. I estimated that more than ten hours had passed since we got lost, and it was still not dawning, it was still so dark, as if it would never be bright, and then we realized that we must have encountered something that should not have happened to us. But we still haven't found our goal.
In this way, we were not reconciled, and walked through the mountains and forests over and over again, but still could not see anything, and finally we were tired, and fortunately, in the process, we did not encounter any danger, and we never met those strange people again, and then we decided to rest first before continuing to set off. So we set up camp, in the middle of the forest. We were both tired and thirsty, but we couldn't do anything about it. We lit a fire in front of the tent to drive away the wild beasts, and we fell asleep in the tent.
We don't know how much time we slept this time, it seems that we slept for a long, long time, and slept for several days, right? Or slept for a while? I didn't know, but when I woke up, I looked at my watch and saw that it was already the fifth day we had entered the forest, but it was still not dawn. We don't know exactly what's going on.
We woke up and ate a little bit, and we didn't wait for dawn, but the weather was getting colder and colder, and we realized that if we didn't go on like this, we would definitely starve to death here, and even if we didn't starve to death, we would definitely freeze to death. We struggled to move forward, but this time we didn't go far, we saw a light in front of us, we were happy at that time, and we went in the direction of the light, and after a while, we rushed out and saw a village in front of us, looking at the buildings, it seemed to be the kind of rural people in the fifties and sixties, very ordinary, at that time we realized that this village might be a little weird, but tired and hungry and frozen, we couldn't care so much, so we had to go into the village.
Thus began the most horrific nightmare. But at the time, we thought that entering that village would make our situation a little better, but now we think about it wrong. When we went in, we found that there was no one inside, and although every house had lights, even on the road, there was no one in sight. The atmosphere was very eerie. We didn't care so much at the time, we knocked on the door one by one, but no one answered, and finally we found that almost all the doors were unlocked, so we found a family and went straight in.
The first thing we did after we went in was to boil a pot of boiling water and cook a meal, not to mention how hungry we were, but fortunately there was still food and vegetables in it, and we thought it must be heaven saving us. But what happened next wasn't so rosy.
At first we were tired and hungry and didn't feel it, but when we regained our energy, we had a bad feeling, we felt stared at, yes, we were stared at, not alone, it seemed to be stared at by many, many people, that feeling was very strange, we couldn't see anything, but we just felt stared at. Sometimes we were walking in the village and we heard footsteps behind us and looked back and found nothing, and sometimes we stayed in the house and heard people chatting outside, but when we rushed out, we found nothing.
People like us must have seen a lot of things, and I thought that we must have encountered something unclean, and then we began to search, trying to search for the secrets of this village, and we saw a line of words on a stone tablet at the east end of the village, which read: Zhengjia Village. That's where we end up.
After finding out that the place we arrived at was Zhengjia Village, I had mixed feelings, indeed, we arrived at the place we were looking for, but that was not our original intention, we didn't want to come in, I just had the idea of going around outside, taking pictures, and seeing what was inside, I mean looking at it from a long distance, but we never thought we would come in. Someone had come in before, but none of them had gone out.
After realizing our situation, we started to get anxious, and then I made a decision: that is, to run, no matter what, to get out of this place. But at that time, it wasn't dawn yet, it was more than a week, we never saw the sun, and I don't know what happened.
Our escape plan was carried out the next day, and that night we ignored the gibble of the noise, slept soundly, and when we woke up, we ate something casually, and set out for the forest. We're going to escape from this place, and while nothing is happening now, who can guarantee that nothing will happen? I don't dare, we can only escape. But with this escape, something even weirder happened.
At first, everything was normal, we left Zhengjia Village, headed towards the mountains and forests, and we didn't encounter anything, we were so happy that we thought there was hope for escape, and then we continued to walk forward, and there were still dense trees in front of us. It was hard work, but we were happy, but as we walked, we realized that something was wrong, and we always felt that something was following us, but when we looked back, we couldn't see anything.
At first I thought it was a delusion, but then, when I turned around, I saw a figure walking away quickly, and I was startled and hurried after it, but I saw nothing. You know what I'm capable of, at such a close distance, I can't chase people away, but at that time I just lost them. My wife, A-Yuan, was scared at the time, and to be honest, I was scared too, but what could we do? You can only move forward, hoping to go out. But this time it didn't seem to be the same at all, I felt like a lot of people were watching us, but when we turned around to find them, we didn't see anything. In this way, we walked for a long time, for a long time, and it was still not dawn, and just as we were about to despair, a village appeared in front of us again.
