We hurriedly asked what was going on.

Chen Nuan said that she has been in extreme grief recently, and she is working with Wang Kai's family to handle the funeral. Slept late every day. Just the other night, when she was lying in bed and sleeping in a daze, she felt that someone had come into the house.

It seems to be a woman, Chen Nuan felt that something was wrong and remembered it, she couldn't get up no matter how she got up, obviously her consciousness was very clear, but she couldn't move. In a trance, she felt the woman standing by the bed. Just stared at her stunned. Not to mention what this woman looks like. Just staring at it without blinking. It's already very uncomfortable.

Chen Nuan didn't believe in these things before, but since she almost had a strange car accident last time, she has been suspicious.

She knew something was wrong at the time, and tried to remember it several times, but she couldn't get up. I don't know how long it took, but the woman was finally gone, her whole body was under a sharp light, and her limbs were full of consciousness. When I sat up from the bed, my head was cold and sweaty.

And that's not all. The closer he approached Wang Kai's funeral, the more uncomfortable Chen Nuan felt. Last night, she had another nightmare about Wang Kai. She was asleep when she suddenly heard a sound in the living room, so she put on a coat and got out of bed and walked into the living room.

The room was lit up, and she saw an old lady who was described as rickety sitting on a chair. The old lady couldn't see her face clearly, her hair was gray, and she was wearing a tight padded jacket. On a big night, such a strange old woman suddenly appeared in the house, which was really scary.

That's when it happened. Chen Nuan saw Wang Kai. Wang Kai actually turned into a dog. This is a big yellow dog, and the head is Wang Kai's face. He has all the facial features, all born on the face of a dog, but he doesn't seem to have any sense of disobedience.

The big yellow dog looked at Chen Nuan sideways, the expression was indescribable, as if he was dazed and relieved, and his eyes looked straight at her.

Chen Nuan's soul was scattered, and he was extremely frightened. Instead of feeling fear, she had the feeling of looking at the black abyss. Chen Nuan told us that the feeling of suppressing the gloom and feeling like ashes at that moment simply destroyed her.

She finally shouted, sat up with a scream, and realized that she had had had a strange dream.

The most bizarre thing is that she raised her head and suddenly saw the light in the living room on, this scene was exactly the same as the dream just now. She remembers very well that before she went to bed, she had turned off all the lights.

At that time, she was very scared, afraid that a qiē in her dream would really happen in reality.

When she walked to the living room and saw that there was nothing unusual about Yiqiē, she immediately sat on the sofa with her butt and was paralyzed.

Tongsuo and I listened quietly, and Chen Nuan said: "After listening to your story just now, and thinking of these strange things I encountered, I have a very strong feeling that Wang Kai is dead, but his soul seems to be suffering somewhere. ”

Copper lock spread his hands: "Even so, we can't save it if we want to, who knows where he is." ”

Chen Nuan opened the bag, took out a large leather notebook from it, turned a page and handed it to us. On the paper is a painting, the lines are very simple, and the drawing is of a person.

The man sat upright in a chair, hunched over and with a stick in his hand, looking like an old man. Strangely, this person's face is blank and his facial features are not outlined, which makes him look a little weird.

"This is the old man I saw in my dreams." Chen Nuan said.

I looked at Copperlock.

Looking at this strange painting, my throat tightened and I felt uncomfortable.

"You mean, if you want to find Wang Kai, you have to find this old man?" Copperlock tried to ask.

"Yes." Chen Nuan said: "I always feel that Wang Kai is trapped by this old man, and he is waiting for me to save him." I remember the look in his eyes in the dream, he was begging me. ”

"Even so." The copper lock said: "There are not 5,000 but 10,000 such old people in the city, where can I find them." ”

Chen Nuan flipped to the next page of the cowhide note, which was a newspaper clipping about a tofu block. I took a closer look, and it said that there is a village called Shekoutun in the jurisdiction outside the city, and there are several elderly people over 100 years old in the village, which is known as a longevity village. Experts have investigated what minerals are found in the groundwater for local drinking.

There have been many reports in the media about similar longevity villages, but I don't see anything unusual.

Chen Nuan said that this longevity village is one of the episodes of the documentary program that her column group has recently done. planned to do three interviews, and now the column team has been there once, and Chen Nuan did not accompany him at that time. When the shooting materials are brought back, the initial cut is to be made, and Chen Nuan is regarded as the producer, and the film is cut along with the editing.

Just as she was cutting the film, she saw an image of a reporter interviewing a centenarian woman in the village. When this old woman appeared on the screen, she was stunned and speechless.

This old woman is the mysterious old lady who appeared in her dream.

I lit a cigarette, scratched my eyebrows, and said, "But the old lady you saw in your dream has no face, how can you be sure that this is the same person?" ”

"Feeling." Chen Nuan said: "I recognized her as soon as I saw her. Wang Kai must be at her house, which is a very strong feeling for me. ”

I looked at each other with the copper lock, and the whole thing was unbelievable, and I couldn't figure out the context at all. I smoked desperately, thought for a moment and asked, "What do you want?" ”

"I want to go. Whether it's or not, it's safe to go and see me. ”

"Okay." I said, "Lay down your life to accompany the gentleman, and let me know when you plan to leave." ”

Copper Lock said: "And me." ”

We're going to be together this weekend.

Wang Kai's ashes have been buried, and the three of us will go to the grave together the next day. Wang Kai's grave is located in the largest cemetery in the city, and the environment is very good, and the grave is full of plastic flowers and burning paper. We sprinkled wine on his grave and muttered a few more words.

The weather was nice, but I couldn't get rid of my feelings. I asked Chen Nuan, even if you can find Wang Kai's soul, his body has been cremated, what do you want to do?

Chen Nuan smiled bitterly: "I don't know, it's just that my mind is empty, and if I can look at him, I'll be content." ”

On the weekend, Tongsuo drove us to Shekoutun. The place was far away, and I walked for most of the day, and I arrived at the village in the afternoon. The village is located on the mountainside, and although it has access to roads, it is still quite poor, and there are dilapidated brick houses everywhere. Now it's cold, no one is doing farm work in the fields, and the surrounding mountains are bare, which looks a little bleak.

What is more strange is that we walked through a few village streets and saw no one, and finally met a child and asked him about the residence of the hundred-year-old woman. The child pointed to the smoke not far away and said, "That's it, everyone in the village has gone there, and so have my parents." ”

"What are they doing?" I wondered. Island Boomi.

The child couldn't tell clearly, so he said that the family asked him to watch the house, and the others didn't know. The three of us looked at each other, felt that something was wrong, and hurried over.

Smoke came out of the courtyard of the house, and the black smoke rose straight to the heights. At first glance, it is clear that this is not caused by a fire, but by burning an incense burner. This kind of straight smoke is most common in temples, how can such a thing appear in ordinary village households?

We came to the gate of the courtyard, and there were villagers standing inside. It was cold, everyone was wearing cotton jackets, and some of them even inserted their hands into their sleeves, and they were all frozen to the point of red and white. In the middle of the courtyard there is a large round-bellied incense burner, which is more than one person tall, and looks very new, it should be newly built. The incense burner was filled with incense ashes, and it was filled with long incense sticks of different sizes, and the incense burned, wafting out green smoke, and condensing together, which was exactly the smoke-shaped trajectory we saw outside the courtyard.

The villagers looked at us with neither hostility nor welcome. The brass lock winked, and we entered the courtyard.

The three of us briefly discussed whether to go into the house and visit directly. At that moment, the door of the main house opened, and a peasant woman came out of it. This woman wore an inferior red silk scarf around her neck, and a dot dotted with red paint between her eyebrows, which looked very funny. She came out of the house, went to the yard, knelt on the ground, kowtowed three times to the house, and then went into the firewood room, and came out with three sticks of incense in her hand. She put the incense in the incense burner, knelt on the futon and kowtowed three more times, and then went away satisfied.

As soon as she left, a villager entered the house.

We watched for a while to see what kind of ritual was taking place in the house, and the villagers were lining up outside, entering one by one. Anyone who comes out will have an extra tattered red silk scarf, dot a dot on their head, and then burn incense and kowtow.

"What should I do?" Copper Lock asked.

"Go in and take a look." I say.

"Yes," Chen Nuan said, "Since you are here, it is impossible to leave without understanding." When I went in, I said that we were reporters from the city TV station to interview, and I had a work permit anyway. ”

Copper Lock nodded: "Then do it." ”

We squeezed through the crowd and walked down the steps to the front of the main house. The room was very large and bright, full of flowers, ethereal fragrance, full of people, all respectful.

When we walked in, a middle-aged woman stopped us at the door and politely asked, "How many are you?" ”

Chen Nuan said: "We are from the 'most news' column group of the city TV station, and we have come to our village to shoot before, and this time the group sent us to play a front station." As he spoke, he handed over his work card.

The middle-aged woman smiled happily and shouted at the people in the room: "Everyone in the city knows the mother and grandmother of our village, and the ancestor will go to the city to see the affairs of the officials in the future." ”

She pointed with her hand, and we saw that in the innermost part of the room, there was a huge altar against the wall, with layers of offerings on it, resembling a staircase, and on each floor there were offerings, incense, lanterns, and other things. Under this altar, there is a futon, and on the top of the futon sits an old man.

The old man really couldn't tell how old he was, he was like a withered tree, he had no hair, his head was bare, and he had no eyebrows, and his eyelids were large and drooping. The teeth in his mouth are gone, his upper and lower lips are pursed together, and his whole face is like a meat bun shrunken into a ball.

When this person is a certain age, he can't tell whether he is a man or a woman, and he is completely neutral. Looking at her like this, I can't assess how old she is at all, and some people believe that she is two hundred years old.

Don't look so old, it is supposed that the bones of the body should be weak, but it is so cold, and the door is still open, but she is only wrapped in a white robe, which looks very much like a monk in the old days.

"Ahh Chen Nuan exclaimed.

We saw a big yellow dog crawling next to the old man.
