We didn't hesitate to see the village on the ground, and flew straight to the top of the village, and looked down together, because of the proximity, we could see very clearly again, and saw that the houses in the village were built for some years, but they were not dilapidated, and the courtyard walls around each house were intact, and the pigsty and chicken coop built with mountain stones in the courtyard were also hung under the eaves, and there were strings of corn cobs hanging under the eaves, bright red dried peppers, and dogs curled up in the leeward wall to sleep, etc., Explaining to us that this village in the mountains was indeed a human village, and not something that had been tricked into confusing us, we landed on a dirt road in the middle of the village, which was no wider than a horse-drawn carriage.

When we were in the air, we didn't speak, and Dunjia didn't make a sound when it flew, so although we were a lot of people, we entered the village silently, and after putting away Dunjia, we had to walk, but also talk, making a sound was inevitable, so we were in the yard on the side of the road a big black dog barked and pounced to the gate, from the gap in the fence gate made of firewood stretched out half of the dog's head, grinning at us, a dog barked, attracting the whole village of dogs to follow "Wangwang" Called into a piece.

The dog barked, and the hearts of several of us were more settled, but Hongyun was so frightened that she lost her face, and pulled Lu Keqin and Lin Xian'er tightly with one hand, trembling all over her and couldn't walk, we knew that weasels, foxes and other things were afraid of dogs, but we didn't expect that the monsters with cultivation were also afraid of dogs, and when they saw this scene, they protected Hongyun in the middle, and she was better, but they never dared to let go of Lu Keqin and Lin Xian'er's hands.

Seeing that Hongyun was frightened like this, I bent down to pick up a piece of dirt on the side of the road, and smashed the dog's head that stuck its head out of the crack in the door and barked at us.

"Call the killer to eat you again." I grew up in the countryside, and I knew that as long as we made a noise, all the dogs in this small mountain village could bark for most of the night without stopping, so I scolded the dog, turned to look at Lu Dachuan and said, "What should I do now, go to the house where the Buddha light fell." ”

Lu Dachuan turned his head to look around and said, "The dogs in the whole village barked so fiercely, no one came out." ”

"In the middle of the night, it's so cold, the dog barks twice, who wants to get up, and besides, this village is protected by the masters with a formation, and they won't come out." As I spoke, I turned my head to look around, looking for the location of the house where the Buddha light had fallen.

"Oh." Lu Dachuan and Liu Changleg got together and lit a cigarette, and said while smoking, "Then let's go quickly, find that house and see what the situation is, this stomach is rumbling with hunger." ”

"Let's go." This village is not large, it is estimated that there are about forty or fifty families, although they live on a big hill full of ditches and bumps, relatively speaking, the houses are relatively concentrated, and the place where we landed is in the westernmost part of the village, I remember that the house that Foguang fell into was in the center of the east side of the village, so I took everyone along the dirt road under our feet to the east.

As you know, the mountain village is not like the village on the plain, there is an overall planning, the size of the house and homestead is generally a unified standard, we walked into this unknown small mountain village is the same, the house is not neatly repaired, the road in the village is naturally not straight, from the west of the village to the east of the village straight line distance is not far, but because of the road under the foot of the curve, walked for almost ten minutes and did not reach the end, and I only know that the direction of the walk is good, the specific location of the courtyard to find is not clear, The whole village of dogs kept barking to make people upset, I just wanted to ask everyone to take out the Dunjia, simply fly into the air, and then fall to the courtyard road, not far in front of a fork in the road suddenly there is a bright light, the light flickered like someone with a lamp is going out, as for the person who is going out but because of a wall blocked the invisible, we can see things in the dark, so the flashlight what lighting tools left in the dark river did not bring out, at this time the black rumbling, we were afraid of suddenly walking over to scare the people who came out, so they all stopped, I also deliberately coughed loudly to alert the person holding the lamp that there was someone on this side of the road.

Then I saw the light on the other side of the road flickering faster, and at the same time I heard a cough from the other side as if it were a code to me, and the cough was so strong that I could hear it coming from a sturdy man.

There was a response, apparently aware of our presence, and I walked towards the intersection, and the rest followed.

Lu Dachuan hurriedly walked side by side with me and said, "Zheng Shuang, all the dogs in this village will stop barking when you hear it." ”

"Eh, it's not called." The man who came out of the fork in the road with the lamp must be from the village, he coughed, and the dogs in the two yards next to him probably heard his voice, and knew that the acquaintances outside stopped barking, and they could talk about it, but just now the dogs in the whole village were barking together, and now it was quiet, and I also thought it was very strange.

However, compared with whether the dog barks or not, what makes us more strange is still in front of us, we are not a few steps away from the fork in the road blocked by the courtyard wall, and the man on the other side of the wall who is going out is not far from the light he is holding and the sound of his coughing, I and Lu Dachuan said these two words, we came to the intersection, the person also happened to walk out from behind the wall at the intersection, and we were startled when we looked at each other, to be precise, we were startled by the lamp that gave off the light we first saw, and the thing that held the lamp.

What should I say, at this time, new lighting equipment like flashlights may not be too rare in big cities, but there are certainly no villages in this mountain, so I see a bright light, and according to the characteristics of the bright light, I judge that this is someone carrying a lantern, or a horse lantern walking, but when I met and saw that it was a lantern, it was not false, but it was a lantern made of paper pasted with pasted windows, and there were three large characters cut out of red paper on it, although these three words were not a stroke of regular script, But I still recognized the three words at a glance as "Hades Village".

As we all know, seeing the word "underworld" really makes people think of something pleasant, how could the ancestors of this village use such a word to name the village, I couldn't help but be stunned after seeing it, and then I saw that the person holding the lamp was not a living person, but a kind of paper figure used to make a skeleton of sorghum stalks for the funeral of the deceased, pinch the head with the face, and paint two large pieces of blush on the face.

Fortunately, the moment we saw the paper figure with the lantern, we saw a big living person following behind, otherwise we would have thought we had entered the village of the underworld.

The man who walked out after the paper man should have been the one we heard coughing, but he was not a strong man as I judged from the cough, but an old man, because the name of the village and the paper man carrying the lamp were too weird, I saw the old man and looked him up and down carefully, this old man had a clear face, bright eyes, a dogskin hat on his head, a snow-white goatee on his chin, quite tall, wearing a coarse cotton jacket on his upper body, and cotton pants on his lower body, and the two trouser legs were tied tightly. On his feet he wore a pair of cotton shoes with mille-feuille soles.

I looked at the old man, and the old man looked at us as well.

I thought in my heart that the old man would be as shocked as we were when he saw that he had seen a few men who had broken into his village, dressed in fashionable fashion, but with long hair that could be braided, carrying backpacks that should not have appeared in this era, and holding submachine guns in their hands, and a few women dressed in fancy clothes, would be as shocked as we were when we saw him let the paper figures illuminate him, but after he showed us, he suddenly showed surprise, pulled out of his sleeves and hugged his fists at us, and said, "It's really you, go into the house, go into the house quickly." ”

When the old man had finished speaking, he did not allow us to say anything, but turned and walked on the road from which he had just come out, and when he turned around, the paper man floated in front of him with a lantern.

This old man appeared strangely, and his words were also strange, which made us wonder, and wanted to ask what was going on, he walked very fast, and he didn't mean to talk to us at all, and in front of others, we didn't talk to each other about anything, so we had to look at each other, and then followed.

The road inside the fork is half as wide and narrow as the outside, and the direction is towards the top of the mountain, so it is all the way uphill, and there is a section of steps made of stone in the middle, and the old man went up to the top of the steps in one breath, and then turned his head around, and saw that we were all following, and said in the enthusiastic tone just now: "Seeing that I am old and confused, I have patronized myself and left, and I have forgotten that the mountain road is not easy to walk and give you a light." ”

I could see that this old man was not old and confused, he saw "it's really us", and he was happy and confused, so he said, "Old man, we don't need to be illuminated, we can see it." ”

"Yes, yes, look at my brain, how can you not see it." The old man didn't wait for me to say anything more, but turned around and walked briskly forward.

After going up the steps, less than a hundred meters ahead, there was a courtyard on the east side of the road, and in the distance you could see that the courtyard gate was open, I thought that this courtyard was the old man's home, and before I reached the gate, the old man shouted loudly through the courtyard wall: "Baby, have you cooked, they are really here." ”

Lu Dachuan asked me in a low voice, "Is it that yard?" ”

I knew in my heart that Lu Dachuan asked the old man's house if it was the courtyard that Buddha Light had fallen into, so I quickly swept into the air and looked at it, then fell down and said, "Yes." ”

Lu Dachuan said: "It's strange, there is still a baby here, it is obviously a family, what did Buddha Guang bring us to do at someone's house." ”

"This meal is made for us, and it will be clear after asking......"
