Chapter 57: Dead Village?
According to the QQ group, everyone agreed to gather at the foot of Zhougong Mountain at five o'clock this afternoon, set up a tent to rest for a night, and climb the mountain early tomorrow morning. Zhou Gongshan is on the outskirts of this city, passing through the village of the fat man's house, we got up early in the morning, wanting to pass by the fat man's house, visit Uncle Wang, and worship the fat man by the way.
Speaking of fat people, our mood is a little depressed, and I don't know if God knows that we are going to visit the fat man, so we are also sad, gloomy, as if it will rain at any time.
"I'm afraid this weather is not suitable for mountain climbing." Xiao Hang complained as he drove the car.
Indeed, if it rains, it is estimated that the mountaineering plan of the class party will be ruined, and we should make plans again when the time comes, and the three of us are not here to climb the mountain, but for Meng Dan.
"The hell knows what's going on, it's a good time to choose this time for the class party, is everyone so idle? Coming to this city from all over the country, don't you have to go to class? "The more I talked, the more upset I felt.
"That's not that exaggerated." The car drove into a tunnel, Xiao Hang turned on the headlights, and continued: "This city is very close to everyone's home, at that time, most of the students chose a university in this city, and the rest, Xiao Lu and a few others went to Xihai City, and the points were not very scattered. ”
It turns out that this is the case, I know that Zhou Gongshan is not far from the original high school, so after the college entrance examination, everyone chose such a mountain to climb, but as for where everyone went to apply for the exam, I don't know, because I have amnesia, I no longer speak, and I am still very uncomfortable.
I took out my mobile phone and dialed Meng Dan's phone, the phone was still expected to be turned off, I threw the phone aside, Meng Dan asked me to go to Zhou Gongshan to lift the curse, nothing else said, the ghost knows how to lift the curse, the sky was gray, which made me feel even more uncomfortable.
"Hehe, Ye boy, if you come, you will be safe." The strange old man looked like a man of the world, stroked his half-length beard, and said.
"Old man, why didn't the beautiful teacher come?" I asked the strange old man, and the old man called the beautiful teacher, but without saying a few words, he said that she was not going, and he did not say why.
"She didn't dare to strike again." The old man squinted, "The big black dog warned her. ”
"Okay." I don't dwell on this problem anymore, it's thankful that the beautiful teacher can make a shot once, but it is obviously difficult for a strong person to risk her life and make another shot.
"Old man, do you know how to lift the curse on Meng Dan's corpse?" I asked.
The strange old man nodded, "Just remove the power that binds her elements from her corpse, and leave everything to me." ”
I hummed, closed my eyes, and stopped talking to them, Meng Dan should know that I had gone to Zhou Gongshan.
The car got off the highway and entered the mountain road, the road was very narrow, and it was a little crutches, so I wanted to vomit, and finally stayed up for three or four hours, the car finally stopped, got out of the car, and the breathing became smoother all of a sudden, the air in the countryside is really much better than in the city, the air smells of earth, it is not a peculiar smell, but it makes people feel very good, I can't help but take a few more breaths of air exclusive to this village.
"Huh?" The strange old man snorted, frowned, and looked around.
"Master, what's wrong?" Xiao Hang and I both stared at the strange old man.
"It's a little weird." The old man muttered, "I can't tell you what it feels like, but it feels strange." ”
Xiao Hang and I glanced at each other, nodded to each other, and took out a few purple lazuli stones from my bag, I touched the zero point five tied around my waist, ready to take it out at any time, since the old man felt strange, we better be careful.
We watched for a long time, and nothing strange happened, but instead of letting our guard down, we were more careful.
"The fat man's house is in the village, and the car can't drive in, so let's go in." Xiao Hang said, I nodded, and the group of us walked to the village.
The village is very small, there are only about a dozen households, there is farmland everywhere, occasionally a few local dogs run by, it is already past eleven o'clock at noon, and the farmers should have gone home to cook, so on the path in the field, we did not see a single person. I was also inexplicably strange in my heart, and the further I walked into the village, the stronger my feelings became, but I couldn't say what I felt.
After walking for a few minutes, we finally walked to the door of the fat man's house, the door was closed, there was a big yellow dog outside the door, barking at us a few times, Xiao Hang stomped his feet on the ground a few times to drink, and the big yellow dog ran away in fright.
"Uncle Wang?!" I shouted in front of the door.
No one answered, so I shouted again, but after a long time, no one answered.
"Could it be that Uncle Wang is out?" Xiao Hang wondered.
"I don't know." I replied, and was about to go up and knock on the door, but I knocked lightly on the wooden door, and it opened, and the door was unlocked.
"Uncle Wang?!" I shouted again, but still no one answered.
"It's strange, Uncle Wang's door is not locked, why is he not there?" Xiao Hang said strangely, "Let's go in first, Uncle Wang won't blame us, let's go see the fat man first, Uncle Wang should be back in a while." ”
I nodded with the strange old man, raised my feet and crossed the threshold, Xiao Hang gently closed the door, the old house was not well lit, and it was suddenly dark, Xiao Hang went to the mobile phone screen to find the switch of the light, and suddenly, Xiao Hang exclaimed "ah".
"What's wrong!" The strange old man immediately asked anxiously.
"That'...... There's something there. Xiao Hang pointed to a corner in shock, at this time, the strange old man had already found the switch of the light, turned on the light, we looked in the direction that Xiao Hang pointed to, and there was nothing.
"Xiao Hang, don't make a fuss." I quipped, "Even if there are ghosts, they are also the ghosts of fat people, what are you afraid of." ”
Xiao Hang took a deep breath and nodded.
The lamp was an old-fashioned bulb, not very bright, and the whole room was shrouded in a dusk, and we went into the inner hall, turned on the lamp, and at a glance saw the portrait of the fat man hanging on the wall, and his tablet.
We stepped forward, lit a stick of incense, and bowed.
"Fatty, Brother Ye is sorry for you, if there is an afterlife, we will be brothers again." I looked at the photo of the fat man, and my heart was sour, and my eyes were hot.
"Fatty, you have to eat well over there, don't lose weight." Xiao Hang sighed and said.
We sighed with emotion, and then we were a little reluctant to put the incense stick in our hands into the incense burner, looked at our watch, it was only twelve o'clock, and it was only an hour from here to Zhougong Mountain, so we decided to sit here and rest for a while, hoping to wait until Uncle Wang came back.
After sitting for about a quarter of an hour, Uncle Wang still didn't come back, I couldn't sit still, the room was full of the smell of burning incense, and it was a little stuffy.
"Where did Uncle Wang go, why hasn't he come back yet?" I stood up and said, "I'm going to get some air outside the door." ”
The strange old man also stood up, stretched his waist, and said a little lazily: "I'll accompany you, the air in this village is so good, it reminds me of when I was young and cultivated. ”
So I came out with the strange old man, and Xiao Hang continued to sit inside, and his feelings for the fat man were much deeper than mine, so I didn't want to disturb him.
I sat on the threshold with the strange old man, looking at the farmland in the village.
"Old man, just now you said that you practiced when you were young, how was your cultivation?" Out of boredom, I asked the strange old man.
"Hey, hey." The strange old man suddenly came to his senses, "I left home to practice when I was young, and my current skills are from that time, my practice at that time is much harder than the training of those three-legged cats you do at home, and I practice in the mountains every day, and I don't know how much stronger the intensity is than you, alas, it's a pity that I'm old......"
"Old man, where is your family?" I asked casually, I didn't know anything about the strange old man.
"Ugh." The strange old man sighed, his face a little lonely, "My wife died a long time ago, and after I raised my son, I went out to cultivate. ”
I was a little surprised, "What about your son?" ”
The loneliness on the old man's face disappeared again, and he said a little proudly: "That kid is much more powerful than me, and he married an amazing wife." ”
"So does he leave you alone now? If you're not at home all day, won't he care about you? ”
The strange old man waved his hand and said, "No, he has been in that organization all day ......" Speaking of this, the strange old man immediately stopped talking and stopped talking, I know that the old man said that he leaked his mouth.
The old man's words made me even more curious, so I asked, "Old man, what kind of organization is that organization you are talking about?" Is your son in that organization too? ”
The old man shook his head and refused to tell me, I was in a hurry, and some scoundrels grabbed the old man's beard and threatened: "Old man, you have to tell me today, otherwise I will tear your beard naked." As I spoke, I really pulled the old man's beard, and the strange old man screamed in pain and surrendered helplessly.
"Okay, okay, I say, you let go of your hands first." I looked at the old man's appearance, laughed secretly, let go of my hand, the old man stroked his beard, and then slowly opened his mouth and continued: "Okay, you are also half of my apprentice, then I will tell you half of it, but you can't tell others." ”
I nodded.
The old man smiled with satisfaction, "This organization is composed of some people who are different from ordinary people, some of them have outstanding achievements in some aspects, some have high achievements in scientific research, and our organization is also in a deserted place, just like this village......"
Suddenly, the strange old man's eyes widened and he stood up, "I know what's wrong with this place!" ”
I looked at the strange old man in confusion.
"This is a dead village, and there is no element of a living person......"
