Because Xiangxi belongs to Hunan Province and is located in the remote northwest, mainly in the Yuanjiang River Basin, most of them are lofty mountains and mountains, and the roads are rugged in the meantime.

I and Hai Fat Man directly chose a bus to take to Xiangxi in Hunan Province, but this more than ten hours of journey, I and Hai Fat Man both had weak legs and stomachs, and we were listless for a while. In the end, I had no choice but to find a small hotel nearby to rest for a day, and prepare to go again the next day.

However, the next day, the two of us looked for a lot of cars in Xiangxi City to Suining County, but no one was willing to take us to Stone Town in Suining County, saying that it was no longer open to traffic, and we had to pass through a ghost forest, and we would not leave.

In the end, the fat man had no choice but to spend money to hire someone to find a local old man, who was about fifty years old, and he was very energetic, and he looked like an old oilman. I saw that he brought a dilapidated ox cart, and was gesturing with the fat man about the price, obviously not very happy to pull it.

I stood far away, and I didn't hear what the two of them were talking about. But from the expression on the face of the fat man, it is not difficult to see that he is in pain, and it is obvious that the old man is asking for a very high price.

When I was a little impatient to wait, I saw the old man who negotiated the price and smiled, beckoned to me, and signaled that I could get on the bus.

After getting on the ox cart, the old man also began to whip the oxen pulling the cart, and the big black cow began to move forward after mooing a few times. In the car, I asked the fat man, how about the price? How much money did it cost?

When the fat man saw me mention this, he first glared at the old man driving the ox cart in front of him viciously, and then stretched out five fingers at me, which means that it took five hundred oceans.

"Five hundred?" I screamed in shock, my eyes almost bulged out, and I said that this old man is too dark, you must know that this price can make my two of us take several planes back and forth, and it is very comfortable, where is the use of suffering from this crime.

The old man who was driving the car seemed to understand what the two of us were saying, and said in a not very standard Mandarin: "Hehe, don't blame me for the old man, to be honest, most people in that stone town don't dare to go, and I'm bold enough to go for these stinky money." ”

"Oh," I sighed softly, feeling that the old man still thought that he had suffered a loss, but after thinking about it, it was true, after all, he had found a lot of people before, and they only had to hear that Stone Town's faces changed color. Thinking of this, I couldn't help but turn to him and asked, "Uncle, why do you say that ordinary people don't dare to go to that stone city?" Isn't there a ghost there? ”

When the fat man heard this, he also became energetic, forgot about the five hundred yuan car money, turned his head to look at the old man, and urged: "Yes, uncle, this is the first time we have been there, if you know something, tell us about it." ”

Seeing that the two of us insisted on listening, the old man took two puffs of the big cigarette pouch, and then put it on the back of the cow, and then said: "If the old man and I are not mistaken, you two should be going to the corpse fighting meeting, right?" ”

Seeing that the two of us didn't speak, he vaguely guessed something, and said again: "Oh, if you talk about that stone town, you can be regarded as finding the right person, old man, I am very familiar with it, I used to live there, but then it was not open to traffic, so I moved to the city..."

Seeing that the old man was saying something that was not nutritious, he hurriedly waved his hand and interrupted: "Uncle, can you pick some key points." ”

"Oh, that's the point?" When the old man heard this, he raised his head and pondered for a while, and after a long time, he smashed his mouth and said: "Stone Town is also known as the corpse city, where every household is a corpse city, I believe you also know, if there are more such evil things, it will definitely not be peaceful after a long time, so there are often zombies in the village to attack people, especially the ghost forest outside the city is even more evil, and from there at night is equivalent to walking the palace of the king of Hades." ”

"Hiss," the fat man and I both gasped violently when they heard this, if it was really as the old man said, wouldn't there be no return to the ghost forest tonight. Thinking of this, I couldn't help but shudder, and discussed where I would sleep overnight, and walk through the ghost forest the next day.

The fat man felt that my opinion was very good, but the old man was not happy, saying that he did not have the time to accompany us to spend a night in this barren mountain and wilderness, and gave us two choices, either to go home now, or to walk in the ghost forest at night, but he could not resist the three of us in the big night to drive the ox cart into the ghost forest.

Speaking of the ghost forest, it is a dense bamboo forest, which is overgrown with weeds and left no one to take care of it, and it is a place used by the older generation of local people to bury the corpse of the ownerless.

Seeing that our ox cart was getting farther and farther, and getting closer and closer to the ghost forest, I felt that my whole body was cold and swishing, and I shivered unnaturally, and even the hairy moon hanging in the sky became a lot darker.

After marching again, our ox cart had already entered the gloomy ghost forest, and I grabbed the handrail of the ox cart with my hand, and my body did not dare to move in the slightest, staring straight at the end of the light of the ghost forest. The fat man on the side of the sea is rolling his eyes, alert to the special situation that may arise at any time around him.

However, the caution and vigilance of the two of us were instantly messed up by the old man's humming sound in the next moment, and I saw him babbling in his mouth and didn't know what little song he was humming, so scared that the fat man almost didn't step forward to pinch his neck, and hurriedly stepped forward to interrupt: "Old man, you are blind... What are you singing? It's hard to hear dead, hurry... Shut up. ”

I could clearly hear that there was a slight trilling in the fat man's voice, and his teeth were chattering. Originally, I was going to criticize the old man harshly, saying that you have a fucking broken cow, whether you pay the toll or have a pass, you are not afraid that a female ghost will suck you dry.

The next moment, the old man turned his neck and grinned at the two of us, and said with a smile: "Hehe, the two young masters are in a hurry, since the old man and I dare to pull you through the ghost forest at night, I am not afraid to fold here, otherwise even if you pay more money, the old man and I will not dare to take this job." ”

I saw that the old man didn't seem to finish his words, the latter was the point, and he didn't talk, and the fat man on the side also closed his mouth.

The old man saw that neither of us had any intention of talking, so he couldn't help but smile again: "You don't know, this ghost forest is indeed very evil, and ghosts often come out to eat people. But a few years ago, I met a Taoist master who taught me an exorcism, and since then I have often walked this night road, and the passage is unimpeded. ”

"Whew," the fat man and I heard this, and we knew from the confident expression of the old man that he didn't seem to be lying, and they both sighed, and the feelings of the five hundred oceans were quite worthwhile.

The studious sea fat man on the side had to learn noisily, and forced the old man to keep his mouth shut.
