Yellow Springs Corpse Fight (5)
The road where the driver took us was very secluded. Shanxi is also known for its coal production, and it is not without good mountains and rivers, but most places have traces of mining.
Although there is not much green to be seen around, the peaks are not high, and there are more hills. However, the scene in front of me makes people feel desolate and majestic. Every hill seems to be a sergeant standing majestically with a sharp blade in his hand, and the car shuttles through it, as if passing in front of countless cold and arrogant faces, which is intimidating and inexplicably makes people feel a trace of respect.
It is true that there is overexploitation in many parts of the country. But it is undeniable that these places have made great contributions to the rapid development of the country.
The coal was dug up, and the people were scattered, but the hills and mountains still stood there, like the soul of this earth. The desolation and desolation in front of me not only added a different kind of vitality to my reverie.
Yao Hui leaned on me and smiled at me all the time. I asked her what she was laughing at, and she just shook her head.
Although the summer night came relatively late, it was already sunset.
"Master, how long is it going to arrive?" I couldn't help but ask.
"Right now, just go around this hill." The driver smiled, and seemed ready to collect the money.
But before he could laugh, he suddenly "clicked" a few visions, and then the car slowly stopped.
I immediately saw that the driver's face changed. He immediately got out of the car and opened the hood, and as soon as I thought this fucking must have broken down, I got out of the car.
After checking for more than ten minutes, the young driver said to me, "Boss, I'm sorry, the engine of this car is broken, I." I'll have to send you here. ”
As soon as I heard this, my head was big, and I was about to get angry, but the driver said: "It's okay for you to give less money, and Wenxing Village is almost here, you can bypass these mountains and bags and walk for about ten minutes." ”
I looked at the broken car, then at the driver's broken face, and then sighed.
There were a few rows of houses in the distance, and I thought it should be about the same. So after stuffing the money to the driver, he led Yao Hui out of the car.
Yao Hui didn't care much about this. And told me not to be angry, and to hold the big umbrella above my head.
I suddenly thought she was quite cute, and my mood was much better.
But it was getting late, and the wind was strong on all sides, and it was going around the hills. We still feel terrified. Unconsciously, the two of them held hands together.
When you get around those hills. In fact, it was already dark. We walked forward for a while. Vaguely, I could see some fires shining in the cols.
The driver didn't lie to us, it was not particularly far. But because of the high heels that Yao Hui was wearing, we walked very slowly. It was half an hour away, but by the time we approached the village, it was already dark.
I inquired about Wenxing Village on the way, and I knew that it was a very famous tourist attraction in Jincheng. There are many ancient dwellings in the village. It's usually more lively.
But as soon as we reached the entrance of the village, we found that it was unusually secluded. After listening carefully for a while, it seemed that there was only the sound of wind whining around.
Yao Hui was a little scared and grabbed me tighter. My heart is also empty. But look at the firelight, and I think I'll meet someone later.
We turned on the lighting function of our mobile phones, and after walking a few steps forward, we saw the stone monument at the entrance of the village.
The stele is very dilapidated, and we only see the word "village" at the bottom, and what is written on it has already been smoothed.
There was only a small path in front of me, and I walked ahead and touched it little by little.
"Yuan Jie, will we go wrong, isn't Wenxing Village a tourist attraction?" Yao Hui stopped and tugged at me uneasily.
I feel the same way, but at this time, I can only talk to her in a good place, otherwise it will not be good to scare her.
"Maybe it's because of the traffic jam on the road, those tourists didn't come, don't worry, I'm here." Although I said it easily, Yao Hui still nervously grabbed my arm with both hands.
After walking for a while, we saw a row of houses.
I looked at the wooden eaves, and said that this house is really some years old, and the house is full of the atmosphere of a small courtyard in the Ming and Qing dynasties. If that's the case, then we shouldn't be wrong. Maybe it's something going on in the village, and everyone is getting together.
There were two roads in front of this row of houses, east and west, so I was hesitant to go either way.
"Yuan Jie, there's light over there." Yao Hui tugged at me.
When I turned my head, there was a fire dangling on the road to the west, which felt like a lantern on the side of the road. When there is no way, people go to places where there is light. So, Yao Hui and I also moved somewhere.
When I got close to the fire, I realized that it seemed to be a kerosene lamp on the ground, and there was a figure beside it, and it seemed that the person was digging something in the ground.
It's dark, what is he digging?
Thinking about it, I went over and asked, "Hello, fellow, we are here for tourism, and I want to ask where the hotel here is?" "I enthusiastically pulled out my cigarette.
But after I finished speaking, the fellow didn't react at all. By the light of the fire and the light in our hands, I saw that it was a thin old man, with a very light white beard around his mouth, and he was so thin that he felt that he was not as strong as the hoe in his hand.
I thought he was an old man's ear, so I screamed twice. However, the old man did not react.
I thought to myself, even if I'm deaf, I should see our lighting. Just as he was about to go further, suddenly there was a "click" in the field, and the little old man put down the hoe.
When he looked at it again, there was a wooden box-like thing in the field he had dug.
The box had been hoeed by the old man, revealing a large hole, and then the light in my hand showed that there were two big eyes staring at me.
I was startled, took two steps back, and quickly protected Yao Hui behind me.
The little old man finally turned his head, grinned and giggled at us, and then reached into the wooden box and grabbed a dead cat whose body had begun to swell.
Yao Hui exclaimed and immediately covered her eyes. Then, the old man took out a dozen dead cats from the box in succession.
I was so frightened that I began to tremble, and then I saw the old man grab the oil lamp from the ground, put it next to his head, and smiled in a low voice, "Go back."
When he had finished speaking, he wrapped the dead cats in a piece of cloth and walked slowly down the road.
Yao Hui and I were both frightened, and at this time I thought it was best to take Yao Hui back. But how do you go back? There is no spark at all except this village, and I heard that there are wolves in these places. I'm fine alone, but Yao Hui can't go.
So I forced myself to calm down and said to Yao Hui, "Let's go another way." ”
Yao Hui didn't know where to go at this time, she nodded, and the whole person was so frightened that she almost climbed on top of me.
After taking a few steps back, suddenly, there was a long, piercing "creak" sound from the old houses beside him, and the sound of the door opening.
Turning our heads, we saw that the wooden door next to us had opened.
There was a black hole at the door, and there was no one. On both sides of the door hung a pair of tattered couplets, and when the wind passed, the paper of the couplets rattled, and we were so frightened that we did not dare to move for a long time.
"It's okay, then, it's the wind." I wanted to comfort Yao Hui, but as soon as I spoke, I found that I was also trembling badly.
"Yuan Jie, let's go back to the driver, he must still be there to repair the car." Yao Hui was almost always crying.
I couldn't think of a better way, so I was ready to step back. At this moment, inside the open wooden door, an electric light was lit.
We were first surprised, and then we were all delighted.
Electric light, damn, there must be someone.
Sure enough, a middle-aged woman in a white lab coat walked out of the house. She carried a basin and poured out the water from it when she went out. I was stunned for a moment, and then I saw Yao Hui and me again.
"You" middle-aged women were also surprised.
I was relieved, and hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Sister, we are here to travel to Wenxing Village, here, is this Wenxing Village?" ”
When she heard that we were here for a tour, the eldest sister seemed very happy.
"That's right, this is Wenxing Village, why are you here at night, come in, come in." She hurriedly came in from the house and welcomed us inside.
I know that in general, there is competition between such attractions, and there is competition between any farmhouse. As soon as she saw us, the eldest sister would definitely hurry up and take the business into the house, so as not to rob it from others.
Of course, Yao Hui and I would not refuse, and immediately followed into the house. After beckoning us to sit down in the lobby, the eldest lady immediately got busy. Serving tea and pouring water, and then cooking over the fire, I didn't even have a chance to speak.
"You wait a minute, I'll bring the food right away." As she spoke, the eldest lady was already in the kitchen.
I was about to say something to Yao Hui, when I turned my head, and suddenly I saw Yao Hui quietly staring at a door on the right side of the hall. Only then did we realize that a child wearing only a pair of shorts was squatting inside the door, looking straight at us. (To be continued......)
