There was an unusual sound of footsteps in the deserted woods, rustling on the fallen leaves on the ground, but the strange sound was rhythmic, like the melody of death gradually echoing in his ears. The figure was a little pale at this time, and forced himself to stay in place motionless, "It's okay, maybe it's just the sound of the wind," looking in the direction of the hill, the path composed of countless tree trunks was like a passage for evil spirits, entangled together, but it also blocked the sight of the figure.

He got up quietly, took a deep breath, and took a few steps back to leave the place, the strange sound shuttled through the forest with the sound of the gentle wind, and he couldn't tell whether it was left or right, he looked around in a panic, and a few drops of cold sweat oozed from his forehead unconsciously.

The sound seemed to be getting closer and closer, he quickly extinguished the fire on the ground, and then squatted in a corner quietly waiting for the source of the sound, a figure appeared in the woods, the figure walked slowly towards the cemetery of the second dog, at this time the figure squatting on the side saw this situation, the body has begun to tremble violently, the teeth keep chattering, the strange figure has gradually approached.

Because he couldn't see the appearance of the figure clearly when he leaned over, his clothes all over his body seemed to have been tattered, and his hair was messy, and he suddenly saw that his side face had already rotted. Seeing this, the figure's tense whole body saw this, and his throat couldn't stop jamming a little sound, he quickly covered his mouth and prayed that the ghost figure did not realize his existence, and the ghostly figure seemed to be aware of it, and turned towards the grass where he was crouching to find the sound.

At the moment when the ghost turned around, he saw clearly that the man's face had begun to fester, and the miserable white face had been gnawed by many insects, and there were no black eyeballs in his eyes, only a piece of whites in the bleak eyes, and the outline of his face was vaguely familiar, and then towards the clothes worn by the ghost, yes, the person who came was the long-dead Ergou himself.

The figure squatting on the grass instinctively let out a terrible scream, and then ran desperately towards the path down the mountain like crazy, and the ghost figure who turned around didn't seem to see the screaming figure, and continued to turn around and slowly move towards the direction of the hill, and the screaming figure didn't dare to look back to see if the second dog had caught up, and only felt the hair on his body stand up.

He kept shouting as he ran, "Ghost ......" on the path not far away, with the force of impact, the figure was knocked to the ground, and then met me and Han Dong.

Uncle Ergou's mood gradually calmed down at this time, "Since Xixiu said that I saw Ah Sheng turn into a ghost and have been pestering her, my heart has been uneasy, until Xixiu died unexpectedly in her own home a few months ago, I have always felt guilty that it was Ah Sheng's ghost who was harmed, so I went to Ah Sheng's cemetery from time to time at night to secretly burn some paper money, hoping that Ah Sheng could go to reincarnate and find a good family, but I didn't expect this rebel to still refuse to leave the village," Speaking of this, Uncle Ergou couldn't help but shed tears.

"Uncle Ergou, don't be sad, things may not be what you think, it may really be just an accident," Seeing the elderly uncle crying in front of the juniors, my heart was also inexplicably sad, I patted Uncle Ergou on the shoulder and comforted.

"It's all my fault that I'm not good, I didn't educate Ah Sheng well, so that he would drink and smoke heavily, and finally die suddenly at the edge of the village in the middle of the night, I didn't expect him to turn into a ghost soon after his death, what a sin!" As he spoke, he became more and more agitated, and began to beat his chest with his hand incessantly, venting his irrepressible pain.

"Uncle Ergou, don't be sad, I believe that things will pass, you better have a good rest, we will definitely find out the matter," I immediately stepped forward to hold his hands and kept saying comforting words. It was getting late and late, and it was already more than ten o'clock in the evening, Han Dong patted my hand, "Let's go, it's not too early, let Uncle Ergou have a good rest alone, and we'll figure out a way tomorrow." ”

"Well, Uncle Ergou, you have a good rest, Dongzi and I will go home first, and I'll come to see you when I'm free," After closing the door with his hand, he walked out of Ergou's house with Dongzi, leaving Ergou's house, my heart was full of questions? After the ghost of the second dog was bumped into by the mother of the strong son, there was no news of the ghost of the second dog, but I didn't expect it to reappear a few months later, is it really a ghost who came to ask for his life?

But why did it be his father who was found this time, was it a coincidence? "What do you think about Dongzi's affairs tonight," mixed thoughts kept echoing in my mind, making it impossible for me to sort it out seriously, I looked at Han Dong who was pondering on the side, and seemed to have made a discovery.

"I believe Uncle Ergou is not lying tonight, it seems that the matter of Ergou's ghost that was once circulated in the village may be true, Guoyuan This is no longer within our reach, I think it is better to find the old man in the village to invite someone to do a ritual," Han Dong gritted his teeth and said his thoughts, but at this time I didn't feel ridiculous, I looked at Han Dong silently, and then looked towards the back mountain, the pitch-black mountain tomb looked so eerie and terrifying at night.

Although I didn't refute it, I didn't agree with Han Dong's statement, and there was a voice in my heart telling me that things were far more than that, I stood quietly in place, the dark wind blew my sleeves up, and the feeling of being like the wind all over my body didn't appear for a long time, and I relaxed the tense state all night.

The village was not called Xingguo Village before, it was called Sunjia Village as early as when the village was built, since the Sun family was arrested and put in prison, in order to respond to the call of **, the village was renamed Xingguo Village, and even the names of the people in the village at that time were changed to Jianguo, Guobang and other names, so that later I was born for a long time, my grandfather named me Guoyuan. Thinking back to everything in the village, the original peaceful village, the water flows quietly, schools of small fish play freely in the water, the birds in the air chirp and sing, the grass shimmers with crystal dewdrops, and the whole mountain village is full of beautiful scenery.

"Let's go, it's not too early for Guoyuan," looking at me in a daze on the side, Han Dong gently pushed me, I came back to my senses after being intoxicated with memories for a while, and thought about the situation just now, "Hehe, whether it's a ghost or not, I can't let others ruin the peace of the village," I have already made up my mind, even if it is a ghost, I will correct him.

With this firm thought, I seem to have regained the pride and ambition I had when I joined the army, looking at me who was so determined, Han Dong just sighed, and then Han Dong and I went home separately.

On the way home, a gust of wind blew, blowing chills, I pulled the placket of my clothes and walked home with my hands around it, the dark road was no longer able to distinguish the things around me, only with the memory of the village slowly walked, under the night light, everything around was extremely quiet. For some reason, the dog in the village suddenly began to bark again, "Wang...... Woof...... Woof. "I heard a slight breathing sound from a short distance in the darkness, and I stopped, feeling a cold sweat oozing from under my skin.

I vaguely felt that a pair of eyes were staring at me in the darkness not far behind me, my stiff body could not follow my feelings, I looked back at the strangeness of the darkness, time passed bit by bit, the dogs in the village barked more and more violently, my hands obviously began to shake due to tension, I clenched my fists hard, and my steps gradually became able to move, I subconsciously looked back at the corner of the dark place, and just a few moments, I stared at the corner where I couldn't see my fingers.

My instinct told me there was something unusual, and I struggled to lift my legs and take the first step forward, what was hidden in the darkness seemed unusually calm, even the sound of my breathing disappeared without a trace, and there was a suffocating feeling in the air. I tried to take a second step again, and just as I was slowly approaching the dark corner, a screeching sound of a door opening pierced the otherwise quiet space.

"Guoyuan, are you standing there?" It was my mother who opened the door not far away, looking at the figure standing outside the door, and asked tentatively, I turned my head to look at my mother in front of me and replied, "It's me, Mother," and when I turned back to look at the place, the feeling was gone, and I walked quickly forward to find that there was nothing in this dark corner, and I turned and walked home with doubt.
