7. Ask ghosts

The old man on the donkey came to us from a distance, this time perhaps at a different angle, but in the light of the headlights we could clearly see that half of his face was almost rotten flesh shrunk into the bones, and the black cheekbones were faintly visible, and a few small insects were burrowing in the bones. And it's not just him, even his donkey, half of the black donkey's head is hollow, not even flesh and skin, it's just a skeleton.

The fat man and I were in the car and shivering, "This is a den of thieves!" ”

From half past two o'clock when all of our time stopped, indicating that we must have experienced something at that time, if what the fat man said is true, then it seems that we really entered this ghost village, this village disappeared a few years ago, then what exists must not be something of this world, I venture to guess that we entered another space through a "key".

This space is just separated by something on Earth. That's why our time will stop. "There is no cell phone signal! Can't make phone calls. At this time, Alexander was a little panicked, holding his mobile phone at a loss.

"This place is a ghost village! I think that old man is the key to the ghost village. I hid in the car and looked at the old man outside.

"Drive." The fat man said, "Keep driving and don't stop." ”

"What if I run out of gas? How do you get out of this place? Alexander cried a little sadly.

"Let's get out of this place first, let's wait until dawn." The fat man's words suddenly choked, and I don't know if it was because he knew that time in this place would not flow or because of the old man in front of the car.

"Run over?" Alexander asked tremblingly.

"No, this place is not something we can understand normally, this person seems to be dead, it is useless for us to run over it, and I don't think he has any ill will."

Suddenly, I heard the old man standing in front of the car speak, and he spoke a long list of very quaint and jerky language, and he spoke very quickly, like a firecracker.

"What do you mean?"

"It's the language of the minority, isn't it?" The fat man frowned, "It's not good now, this ghost thing really has its own consciousness." ”

"Why do distant friends come and go?" Suddenly, the old man began to speak Chinese again after saying a lot of things that he couldn't hear.

At this time, the fat man decisively stabbed Alexander, and whispered to him: "Answer him in your half-baked Chinese." ”

"We're on the wrong track. That's why I'm here. Alexander adjusted his emotions and said slowly.

"Why do distant friends come and go?" At this time, his voice sounded again, but strangely enough, his voice became as twisted as Alexander's.

"We are travelers to Xiaotang, and we ask the old man to show us the way." I thought about it for a moment and replied.

But after I finished saying this, the man kept repeating the first sentence: "Why do distant friends come and go?" ”

"Me!" I was about to say it, but at this time, the fat man covered my mouth. "What's wrong?" I asked in a whisper.

"There are ghosts in it! You can't answer like that, and if you're wrong, we'll never want to get out of here. Look," he said, pointing to us and looking over there, only to see that under the light, the old man was no longer what he was before, but getting older and older, no, his flesh and skin had fallen more. It's like the paint on the wall is crusting and falling down.

"What then?"

"I guess this old man is the key to our entry into the ghost village, no wonder we stopped when we heard the sound of the donkey, and at that time we had actually entered a space, and I guess our car would have driven to this place no matter how we drove at that time. It's a cycle, a cycle of death. ”

"Think of a way! I'm most afraid of ghosts. Alexander suddenly shouted, "I don't want to be unable to get out!" ”

"Don't make a noise, there is a way, but the only thing we have to get rid of now is this old man."

I thought about it, and since this old man was the key to get here, he asked us why we came and left because we didn't serve the purpose he had let us come. Then I told the fat man what I thought, and the fat man praised it as a good idea, and immediately replied, "We're going to a place." ”

Sure enough, the man asked again, "Where are you going?" ”

"Go."

"Don't talk nonsense." I hurriedly stopped the fat man, "He is the key here, so it must be the house that let us go to the ghost village, if you say that we want to go back, then we will die." ”

"I'm not as idiotic as you." The fat man shook off my hand and said to the outside of the car, "We are going to the village, can the old man show me the way?" ”

"Come with me!" After the old man finished speaking, suddenly our car door was opened inexplicably, and a force took the three of us out of the car, and then walked towards the previous house step by step. At the same time, there was a light in the house. The light was surprisingly conspicuous in the darkness, but it made us feel terrified, and soon the door was opened, and I saw a man dressed in animal skin, and the whole body of the man was wrapped in such clothes, and everywhere I saw was basically black soft leather in the shape of a reptile hanging one by one on the clothes, and there was a horse coat on the outside of the clothes, and in front of the clothes were six snakes, turtles, frogs, four-legged snakes, and two short-tailed four-legged snakes; There are two less short-tailed quadruped snakes in the back than in the front. There are four small belts at the bottom of the two sleeves.

When we walked into the house, the feeling of restraint on our bodies slowly disappeared, and we breathed a sigh of relief, after all, what we saw in front of us was still people. It wasn't a skeletal goblin, but the man wore a strangely shaped antler hat on his head in addition to his strange clothes.

"You may be seated." The man said to us without looking up.

I looked at the fat man and Alexander and sat down at once, the house was very peculiar, except for a blanket and chairs, all but drumsticks and very large bronze mirrors, and staffs and knives. Looks like it's a normal place! There was nothing unusual except for the dress, and the old man on the donkey had already walked out of the door, and soon the door was closed, and the wind and darkness were eliminated with a bang. I was a little amused by the sight in front of me, and I wondered how I could have seen it wrong. This is obviously a person!

"Excuse me."

"Excuse me?" Alexander was a little puzzled, "We don't know. ”

Seeing that Alexander was about to say something, the fat man and I immediately pressed him to death on the chair with one hand.

"Excuse me." The man said again. And at this time, we also noticed that the person's tone was a little wrong, but it was not possible to say anything, and it always felt as if he was slurring his speech.

"Xiao Du, pay attention to his feet." At this time, the fat man said to me tremblingly.

I followed the fat man's gaze to the soles of the man's feet, and was surprised to find that the man's feet were actually a pair of white bones exposed in the long culottes. At this point, I screamed and fell from my chair to the ground, but I soon realized that I had been rude. I hurriedly got up from the ground, but when I did, I saw the most terrible thing that had ever happened to me in my life, for the man's entire face had turned to bones. No wonder how I felt as if I was talking to a toothless person when I spoke before. This person has no flesh and skin!

But the situation did not allow me to escape, and the skeleton kept asking us, and the fat man and I listened to the sound and our whole scalps went numb. But the voice still didn't stop, and it continued to question us, knowing that if we didn't answer, we would probably encounter something, but at this time, our throats seemed to be blocked, and we couldn't say anything.

"Where is the city of the Enlightenment Kingdom?" At this time, the fat man asked a sentence like a savior.

"Keep going north." As he spoke, he stretched out a withered palm and pointed to the ground with his fingers.

"I know, thank you, gods, we're done." The fat man hurriedly said tremblingly.

"Hmm!" Not a word of nonsense, the skeleton quickly stood up, and at this point we only smelled a pungent ask, and then lost consciousness.

When we woke up again, we were already in the Gobi, and it was daylight. The car was right next to us, and the wind and sand were overflowing, rolling up gray tornadoes, and the sun's rays were blocked out like the shade of the woods. "Where is this?" I was the first to get up and touch my head, "It's like a dream." ”

"It's not a dream." Alexander stood up a little confused. I also grabbed a half-rotted wooden stake from the sand, and I watched as he climbed up, and the wind on the Gobi Desert tossed through the sand like waves, and the foundations of some houses were all scattered and exposed. It's just that it doesn't have the prosperity of the past.

"Let's go." The fat man hammered his head: "The desert highway is just to the south, we go there, we can't stay here for long." ”

I looked at my phone, and it was half past 12 noon. If we faint in the scorching sun any longer, we will definitely be sunburned to death for a while and a half. But it's not bad, we also escaped from that horrible ghost village, but we unknowingly walked such a long way.

When we finally returned to the hotel in the evening, Xie Chenhui saw us running over from afar. "What's wrong? How do you guys. ”

"Don't mention it, I'm lost." The fat man lied and was deceived.

"Lost? You're all driving all night? Xie Chenhui asked as he handed us tea.

"No, how can there be so much oil!" The fat man walked into the hotel and went into the elevator, ignoring no one and going upstairs alone.

At this time, there were only three people left in the entire hotel hall: me, Xie Chenhui and Alexander. In fact, I don't quite understand why the fat man hid this matter from Xie Chenhui, but since the fat man has started, then I naturally have to keep the matter secret for him. But as soon as I turned my head and saw his suspicious eyes, I was a little uncomfortable, so I said, "Look at what! I said I was lost. Let's go find it. ”

"You're looking for ghosts?" Xie Chenhui said coldly. (To be continued......)
