Qu Nan was also panicked, and he didn't know whether to go to the village to ask first, or simply walk forward and look for it again.

He shouted, "Fat Monkey, where are you?" You come out, I won't kill you! ”

Qu Nan's voice trembled and joked, emboldening himself.

In the silence of the village, the shout was bleak and high-pitched, echoing in the snow.

In a dilapidated courtyard not far away, the gate creaked open, and a thin, withered old woman with small feet, her wrinkled face was covered with black old age spots, and her skin was as withered as a dried corpse, wearing a blue satin robe and a pair of blue brocade shoes on her feet, bowed her waist, and walked out tremblingly.

Qu Nan was almost frightened unconscious, because he saw ......

This old woman is wearing a shroud!

Local customs, the coffins of the elderly and the clothes to be worn when they die, that is, shrouds, are prepared in advance, and some coffins are repainted every year.

But shouldn't the shroud be put on when the person has just died and the body is not yet hard? Why did this old woman come out to walk in a shroud?

Is she a human or a ghost?

The gloomy wind blew the corners of her robe, revealing a white, withered foot with no socks on it, with a black-gray snake-like texture...

The sun shone on the old woman's body, and the shadow behind her moved with her movements.

Qu Nan breathed a sigh of relief, although his back was still numb and his scalp was tight, but after all, he was relieved - there was a shadow behind the old woman, and it must be a person.

Since it was a human being, Qu Nan immediately put his mind at ease, he took a step forward and hugged the old woman diligently: "Auntie, the snow road is slippery, why did you come out alone?" Beware of falling. ”

The old woman struggled to raise her drooping slack eyelids and looked at Qu Nan: "There is no one at home anymore...... I heard a monkey trick just now, I came out to see the excitement, and I was alone at home and panicked...... Where are the monkeys? ”

“…… There's nothing monkey-like about it. ”

"Didn't play monkeys? Then you can talk to me for a while, right? This place is getting deserted......"

Out of the corner of his eye, Qu Nan glanced at the open courtyard gate, which was deserted and covered with snow, and a path was cleared from the door of the house to the courtyard gate. Old newspapers were pasted on the dilapidated doors, and the wind rustled in the ears. On the snow near the entrance of the courtyard, a pair of small green cloth shoes were thrown.

"Where's the monkey?" The old woman's hoarse voice rang out again.

Qu Nan was speechless, this old woman's brain is really choking, she just said that she didn't play monkey, why is her old man over?

If it weren't for the fat monkey being lost, Qu Nan might really have a chat with her, after all, older old people have a belly full of strange stories, which can also be used as material for creation.

But now, the fat monkey doesn't know where it is, how can Qu Nan have the heart to chat with her.

Worried that the old woman would slip and fall, Qu Nan kindly helped her: "Auntie, there is nothing to play monkeys here, I'll help you go back, the road outside is slippery, don't fall." By the way, have you seen a chubby young man, about the same age as me? ”

The old woman shook off his hand and turned around and walked into the courtyard: "If you don't play monkey, you can leave quickly?" What's the point of staying in this place? The young man you're talking about? She showed a thoughtful expression, and when Qu Nangang felt a little hopeful and looked at her with a happy face, she shook her head and said, "Well, I haven't seen it." ”

With a "squeak", the old woman closed the courtyard door and disappeared from Qu Nan's sight.

Qu Nan didn't see a trace of pity in the old woman's squinted eyes in the courtyard.

Qu Nan looked around again: there was still no trace of the fat monkey.

He didn't dare to shout anymore, if he shouted out an old man in a shroud again, his fragile heart would really be broken by them.

Maybe the fat monkey was cold and went back to the car?

Qu Nan was overjoyed, maybe this was really the case!

He trotted back to the west end of the village, but fell because of the slippery snowy road.

Qu Nan crawled up and was stunned.

The fat monkey's broken used car is also gone.

The ruts on the ground were clear, but the car was gone.

By the way, you can call him on his mobile phone!

Qu Nan patted his head, he was really confused, why did he forget to call?

Qu Nan took out his mobile phone.

On the phone, the signal part is a bright red X......

How so? It's not a deep mountain and old forest, how can there be no signal?

Qu Nan looked back at the tower with the four blue characters of China Mobile hanging in the distance, and was completely speechless.

What to do with fat monkeys? Should I call the police? Or do you rely on yourself to look for him like a fly without a head? Can you find it this way?

"Gah!"

A hoarse and unpleasant cry was heard, and not far north of the village, several black crows landed on a fruit tree and screamed at the ground. Not far from them, a black cat crouched down, its yellow eyes fixed on the crow, ready to pounce.

Qu Nan was startled by these animals, picked up a stone from the ground and threw it at them: "Broken crow, what are you shouting!" ”

The raven screamed, flapped its wings and flew away.

The black cat did not move, and its golden eyes turned into a thin slit in the strong sunlight.

It was larger than an ordinary domestic cat, its black fur was shiny and shiny, without any other variegation, and its tail was swinging leisurely and squinting at Qu Nan.

Qu Nan felt that the cat's eyes were evil.

After staring at the two evil cat's eyes for a moment, he felt that his eyes would not turn, and he tried to turn his head, but his neck was so stiff that it seemed like a steel bar was pinned to the back, and he couldn't move.

The black cat stared at Qu Nan......

Qu Nan was sweating......

"Huh"! With a scream, Qu Nan and the black cat were startled, and both looked away at the same time, and the crows landed on the tree again, barking at the black cat, no, at the bottom of the tree.

"Gaga...... Ga ......"

The black cat no longer paid attention to the crow, but shook his snowflake-stained beard and shouted at Qu Nan: "Wow! ”

Qu Nan's scalp exploded - this cat's bark is too ugly! Is there something wrong with it?

He hesitated, but tentatively walked in the direction of the black cat. Anyway, it's too embarrassing for a dignified man to be frightened by a cat in broad daylight, and spread it!

The black cat didn't move, and its golden eyes stared at Qu Nan without fear.

Getting closer and closer to the black cat, Qu Nan noticed that the cat's eyes were a little strange, one eye was golden, and the other was a strange amber color, crystal clear.

Qu Nan's heart fluttered, and all his spiritual power was concentrated on this cat's eye. This cat's eye makes people look at it while ignoring the other eye of the black cat, as if it is the only amber eye in the whole world.
