The next day, when I opened my eyes and got out of bed, I felt that the world was a little unreal.

Originally, I was just a small white-collar worker working in Beijing. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 Although the boss appreciates it, I know that I don't have superhuman abilities, and I am no different from the crowd.

And when a letter from my dead grandmother brought me back to the old village in southern Yunnan where I was raised, my world seemed to be different.

First of all, my childhood friend told me that the people in the village had died a long time ago, and that the villagers were all living corpses! And then last night, I even witnessed a suicide instigation, and the person who died was a schoolgirl who had just met the other day.

"Can anyone tell me that I was dreaming yesterday?"

At this time, Dashan walked in with two bowls of sweet potato porridge, "Eh, cousin, you're awake, I'm going to wake you up for breakfast." ”

"Mountain! Didn't ...... last night?"

Dashan stopped with one hand, and said with a solemn face: "Cousin, don't say more!" Don't tell anyone about last night! ”

"Alright! So now I'm going to ask me about personal things. I took out my grandmother's letter from the inside pocket of my clothes and handed it to Dashan, "Look at this! ”

Dashan took the letter and read it, and after a while, he raised his head with a strange face and said, "Cousin, Grandma's handwriting is correct!" But I can't believe what this letter says! ”

"Don't talk about you, I just think it's weird!" I spread my hands and said, "Otherwise, I wouldn't have thought about coming back all of a sudden." ”

Dashan frowned and said, "I don't know anything else, but cousin, listening to my grandfather, it seems that Grandpa Yi and your father really can't celebrate their thirtieth birthday!" ”

Suddenly, as if I remembered something, I asked, "Big mountain!" How the hell did my grandfather and my dad die? Have you heard Grandpa Li say that? When I was a child, I remember my grandmother being sad when I asked, and I didn't dare to ask for a long time. ”

"I don't know!" Dashan shook his head and said, "Please, I'm about the same size as you, where will I inquire about the elders?" Besides, my grandfather is stuffy at home, and he doesn't bother to open his mouth except teaching me to practice, and I just can't stand eating stuffy farts alone at home when I was a child. ”

I was a little speechless when I said this, Grandpa Li was silent and the whole village knew about it, but I didn't expect it to be more serious at home. Dashan, this kid grew up in this environment and didn't become autistic, which can be regarded as a strong psychological quality.

"The letter said that if you don't come back to the village, you won't be thirty years old, but it doesn't say that you'll be fine if you return to the village! Could it be ......" Dashan thought of a terrible truth. "Does anyone know the secrets of this village?"

I wondered, "Wouldn't it?" Doesn't it mean that the people here are already inseparable? The mountain road is closed, who will know the secrets here? ”

Dashan's face turned bitter, "Could it be someone from the village?" ”

"Since it's not clear, then we have to figure it out!" I sat up and drank the sweet potato porridge in one gulp, "Since the snake pill that Grandpa Li let you swallow back then can save you from the poison of the spring water, it means that this spring water is definitely not unsolvable, figure out what's going on, rescue everyone, wouldn't it be better for you and my brother to go out together!" ”

"This ......"

Seeing that the mountain was a little moved, I hurriedly hit the railway while it was hot: "What else is this, that, according to me, let's go together to study what is going on with the tree demon, find a way to solve the poison of your black snake, and then go out together, the world is so big, let's go around to see, it's better than dying in this barren mountain for the rest of your life!" ”

Young people always yearn for the sea and the sky, and when I said this, Dashan's face gradually became firm, and he said in a deep voice: "Hey! The big deal is death! It's better than being trapped here half dead forever! Cousin! This thing...... I did it! ”

"Good brother!" I patted Dashan on the shoulder and smiled, "With your help, I won't be bumping around like a headless fly." ”

Dashan said, "Cousin! The most important thing now is that no matter what happens, we can't let the people in the village find out, we already know their secrets. Otherwise, we don't want to go near the danger hole! ”

"It's easy to say, but I'm afraid that there will be trouble with other things......"

Thinking of what I saw last night, I suddenly felt a headache, in this barren mountain and wilderness, let alone the police, it is difficult to find an official person. Isolation is no joke here. Now that there are deaths, I can't imagine the reaction of the villagers when they find the bodies.

"This makes me even stranger, cousin!" Dashan scratched his head and said, "This morning, when I went to cook, I saw that group of people talking and laughing all the way, as if they were going to go on a trip. Didn't they notice that one of their companions was missing? Are all the people in the city so cold? ”

No way! A big living person has disappeared around him, and no matter how stupid he is, he will find out, right? If it really seems to be nothing, there are only two explanations, first, someone, or to put it bluntly, Yu Wen temporarily concealed the truth of the matter. Second, they didn't care about the fact that a companion had died!

"Dashan, come with me to have a look."

After breakfast, Oyama and I pretended that nothing had happened and calmly went out.

Not long after we went out, the two of us met two villagers from two villages, carrying pheasants and hares at the door.

"Second uncle, fifth brother!"

After recognizing the identities of the two, Oyama and I took the initiative to greet them. But in the blink of an eye, I remembered the horror of last night, when the two of them drank blood in the forbidden cave like hungry dogs robbing. The smile is a little unnatural at the moment.

The fifth brother smiled heartily and asked, "Tangzi, Dashan." What do you think? Did you sleep well yesterday? ”

I pretended to be a little embarrassed and smiled, and said, "I've been used to the outside schedule in the past few years, and it's really a little uncomfortable to come back suddenly." Usually I don't go to bed until eleven or twelve. But I couldn't see it at nine o'clock, so I had to toss and turn in bed, not knowing when I would fall asleep! ”

The second uncle laughed and said, "Haha, all of you are the same from the city, and that fat man slept with me yesterday, and I didn't know what I was doing when I tossed over and over, so I went out early in the morning with a pair of panda eyes!" I see, you're not used to life here! ”

I smiled and waved my hand, "What did the second uncle say...... I've lived here for more than ten years, will I still not get used to it, stay a few more days and get used to it! ”

Hearing that I would have to stay for a few more days, the expressions of the second uncle and the fifth brother moved slightly, and then they left with a few polite words.

"It's good to stabilize them with words, otherwise I don't know if they will be entangled." I secretly breathed a sigh of relief, looked at Dashan and said, "You're right, they really haven't worried about us all along, hey! The second uncle and fifth brother's family lives at the other end of the village, and early in the morning, even if they want to hunt, they won't come here in such a big circle! I just want to come and check it out! ”

"Cousin, it's not a big mistake to be careful, let's be careful in everything, don't make a noise until you understand the matter of the dryad." The mountains are alive and well at night, and they are a little too cautious during the day.

"I know, but let's go and see the college students first, I feel that there are some problems with that group of people."

When I left his house with Oyama and entered the village, I felt that the atmosphere in the village was noticeably different from yesterday. I don't know if I'm too sensitive after what happened last night, or if it's just the way it is.

"Now think about it carefully, it's been a few years, no matter how good it is, people will always change, but except for you, the people in the entire village haven't changed at all, which is suspicious enough!" I looked around as I walked, and from time to time I sighed, "Sometimes things are not even a derogatory term, alas! ”

Dashan shook his head and sighed: "Cousin, there is no time for you to sigh now, let's go and have a look." ”

After searching the village for a while, there was no sign of the university students, and I found out from the village that they had gone out early in the morning and had not returned yet. Not only them, but even the fat dun man was strong, and he didn't see anyone early in the morning.

"Is it to destroy the corpses?" Oyama guessed.

"Wouldn't it? If she really wanted to destroy the corpse, Yu Wen wouldn't have let the corpse be exposed last night, wasn't she afraid of being discovered by the villagers who got up early? I pondered, "Go and see and you'll know everything!" ”

And when the two of us came to the place where the female college student committed suicide last night, we found that the body was missing! Not even the slightest trace was left!

Dashan squatted on the ground and carefully surveyed the side, then scratched his head and said in distress: "Impossible! Not to mention the trail of dragging! There wasn't even the blood that should have been, cousin, do you remember what you saw last night? The woman's blood spurted like a small fountain, and it was impossible for such a large area not to leave even a trace of blood, and it was only one night! ”

It really can't be! No matter how you look at it, from four or five o'clock in the middle of the night to more than seven o'clock in the morning, three hours is not enough time for a person to completely erase the traces left by a corpse. But now, no matter how much we search, we can't find a single clue about what the body left behind.

"Could it be that what I saw last night was a hallucination? Or is that Yu Wen and his classmates playing magic? ”

Just as I was talking to myself, Dashan's face changed, and suddenly, like a tiger descending from the mountain, he flew towards a bush not far behind! "What people!"

"Stop, stop! Stop it! It hurts, it hurts! ”

was pressed to the ground by a flying pounce of the mountain and struggled, and it turned out to be a fat dun man who had disappeared since the morning!
