Chapter 4 The Village Once Upon Us
In the next few days, Qin Cang continued to learn a lot about ginseng fishing with his father, before leaving, Qin Cang felt that his father was getting old, and it was really very bad to live alone in this ruined temple in this barren mountain and mountains, and he hoped that his father could go down the mountain and let him take care of him. www.biquge.info But Qin Yulin had already thought about his fate when he was old many years ago, and when he came to this Huazi Mountain to catch ginseng, he took a fancy to this broken temple at a glance. So he will never go down the mountain. Then, before parting, Qin Yulin sent Qin Cang to the entrance to the bottom of the mountain and instructed him.
"Child, this road is destined to be difficult and difficult to walk, when you get my mantle, I have nothing to help you, my father is already a lonely old man, there may not be much time left, you don't have to worry about me, I won't leave here, if you have spare time, you can still come here to see me, I hope you are all well."
Seeing his father's tears rolling in his eyes, Qin Cang felt very sad in his heart, in his impression, his father had always been a very strong person, he had never left a single tear, even when he was in danger and was hurt, he gritted his teeth and stood up by himself. Pity the hearts of parents all over the world, now Qin Cang completely understands his father's helplessness, otherwise, how could he let himself experience the sadness of the curse of fate?
Qin Cang turned around, saved Qin Yulin, and then said.
"Dad, you must take care of your body, I will fulfill your wish, and then I will be able to take you down the mountain to enjoy your old age, you must wait for me."
Parting is painful, but it will always come, so Qin Cang returned the same way, the sun was setting, and Qin Cang inadvertently turned around and found that his father was still standing there looking at him, presumably he was also very painful. Qin Cang knows his father's character very well, and no one can change what he decides, and he really doesn't know when he will see him again, or if he can see him again. Qin Cang also strengthened his confidence at this moment, and he must work hard to complete the task assigned to him by his father.
The so-called easy to go up the mountain, difficult to go down the mountain, Qin Cang has a deep understanding of this sentence at this time, however, he is not in a hurry to leave, his father said that he has an ability similar to psychic, which can perceive the existence of all spirits around him, Qin Cang knows that his father will not lie, so he tried to sense everything around him while going down the mountain. After calming down, he really found that Qin Cang slowly closed his eyes, and behind the tree on his left, he could clearly feel that there was a person standing there. Qin Cang hurriedly opened his eyes, but there was no figure behind the tree at all. Thinking about it, my father said that he could only sense it, but he couldn't see it with his own eyes.
Sometimes that's how it goes, once you find some kind of power in yourself, the next thing is like a river bursting its banks. Qin Cang's speed down the mountain was very slow, he kept sensing the surroundings, trying to adapt to his new ability, but suddenly he stopped, because at this time on the muddy road, there were many strange-shaped trees, and even some trees still shared a root, but these were not the key to Qin Cang's fear, he could clearly feel that there were many pairs of eyes peeping at him all around, and the most terrible thing was that he couldn't see those existing spirits at all, this feeling of being monitored, It creeps him more and more. At this time, in such a strange environment, Qin Cang stood in place for a while, never moving.
The surroundings became very quiet, there was not even the sound of the wind blowing the leaves, Qin Cang clearly heard the sound of his heartbeat, he knew that if he went on like this, he might not know what would happen, so he took a deep breath and hurriedly walked away. Fortunately, however, those who peeked into their eyes stayed on the side of the strange woods, and after they moved, they did not follow, probably because they had inadvertently intruded into the territory of some ghosts. Qin Cang comforted himself like this in his heart.
A few hours later, the sky gradually darkened, Qin Cang walked down the mountain completely, looked back at the somewhat dim mountain, and secretly rejoiced, fortunately, he came down before dark, the lonely mountain at night was very terrifying, which his father had told him before.
Huazi Mountain is located deep in the woods on the left side of a highway, so if Qin Cang wants to leave here completely, he still needs to walk through this dense forest. However, the problem remained, the forest was not safe, and Qin Cang's ability to perceive spirits seemed to become stronger after he accepted this fact. There were also many wandering ghosts in this inconspicuous forest, but the feeling they gave Qin Cang was completely different from that on the mountain, these ghosts seemed to be full of sadness, but it was none of his business, Qin Cang still accelerated the pace of leaving.
When the surroundings were completely shrouded in darkness, Qin Cang walked out of the forest and came to the highway, according to the agreement, the car would come to pick him up early tomorrow morning, so where should he go to spend the night at night? Qin Cang thought about it carefully, and suddenly, he remembered the village where he had lived with his father more than ten years ago, according to the picture in his memory, the village should be not far ahead, thinking of this, Qin Cang decided to go over there, first, it was getting late, and he couldn't sleep in the wilderness, and secondly, he really hadn't been back for a long time, to see if the village still maintained its original appearance.
In this way, he walked along the road for a long time, and a name sign appeared in front of him, which said 'Xiangning Town', Qin Cang looked at it and thought, the village should no longer exist, when did it become Xiangning Town? However, when Qin Cang came to town, he realized what had really happened. The town was covered in black ash, apparently burned by fire. Qin Cang was walking in the abandoned town, and suddenly he remembered something. When he was fifteen years old, his father told me that the reason why he chose to live in this village was because he had used means to protect the safety of the villagers, and I remember that not far behind, there was a deep pit, and my father said that he had gathered all his uneasiness in that pit, and if the town was destroyed, would the pit still exist? Qin Cang couldn't help but speed up his pace and walked towards the location of the pit.
However, when he found the original site of the pit according to his memory, he found that there was no anomaly at all outside of a burned down hotel, and he did not feel the presence of spirits, and all kinds of speculations appeared in his mind for a moment.
