It's already more than 9 o'clock, Yang Yi's mood has been very irritable, can't calm down, at this time there is a rumbling hunger sound in his stomach, thinking that he hasn't eaten dinner yet, so he decided to go downstairs to eat something, and when he came, he remembered that there were two restaurants open on the side of the road.

Yang Yi took the umbrella and went downstairs in the dim light, the woman at the front desk was still watching TV, and when she saw Yang Yi coming down from downstairs, she glanced at it and asked, "Why are you going?"

"Dinner, what time do you close?" Yang Yi replied casually.

"I'm not closing the door here," the woman replied lazily.

Not closing the door means that it is open 24 hours a day, and it is estimated that she sleeps on this door panel every night, and it is really hard to do such a business.

Yang Yi walked outside with an umbrella, glanced along the street, and walked towards the brightest place with the lights, the streets were full of potholes and small puddles, Yang Yi jumped around like a monkey, and finally found a restaurant, and there were still guests inside, it was actually Lao Zhao, a beekeeper. met three times a day, and Yang Yi had to say that this was a great fate.

The boss, a middle-aged man, came out of the back kitchen and asked, "What do you want to eat?"

Yang Yi looked at the recipe on the wall, "Let's have a tomato scrambled egg bowl!"

"The tomatoes are gone. “

"Then a rice bowl with minced meat and eggplant. ”

"I'm sorry, but the eggplant is gone. ”

Yang Yi was full of black lines, how is this today, I can't eat smoothly, "Then what else do you have here?"

"That's all that's left for the fried noodles. ”

"......" Yang Yi was speechless, then you asked me what I was eating before, and I just said no, "Okay, then let's have one." ”

"Okay, you sit down first, wait a minute, and you'll be fine right away. ”

Soon, there was the sound of pots and pans clanging in the back kitchen, and within a few minutes, a steaming fried noodles was ready, Yang Yi asked for another cup of hot water, and looked at the old man in front of him while eating.

He doesn't seem to be very old, but his face is very old, his face is full of wrinkles, his skin is dark, his clothes are very old, and he has a little mud, he is wearing a pair of black rubber shoes, the edges of his shoes are full of yellow mud, there are no dishes on the table, a bowl of braised noodles, a plate of cold dishes, and a bottle of two pots.

Lao Zhao should be quite familiar with the boss, and after entertaining Yang Yi, he continued the previous chat with Lao Zhao.

"I said that this thing is very evil, the bee is in the cold, it will not run out of the philosopher every day, you said that if you go to poke the bellows, and you are sold, it is deserved, Malegobi, people across the road, the bee also ran to the philosopher's house, ....... ”

Lao Zhao was obviously very unhappy, scolded and nagged, and took another big sip of the wine bottle after speaking.

The boss also sat down, pulled his throat and asked the wife in the back kitchen to bring a plate of peanuts, and took out a bottle of Erguotou from the refrigerator next to him, and sat down with Lao Zhao and drank, "Don't you get angry, didn't the expert say, there is a lot of rain this year, so I ......." ”

"Don't mention those broken experts to me, I've been beekeeping for more than 30 years, and they have ...... I know. ”

"Look, this temper has come up again, isn't it...... , come and drink ....... ”

Yang Yi listened from the sidelines, and his heart became more and more curious, the small animals in Baiyun Mountain began to become more and more weird, and the same was true of Mingao Town, forty kilometers away, and it seemed that the situation was even more serious.

Yang Yi wanted to take a look, but he didn't know if he could see the doorway, so he immediately interjected: "Uncle, you are a beekeeper, right?"

"Huh?" the old man was depressed, and when he heard the words, he looked up and saw that it was Yang Yi who asked, burped and said, "Are you local? I don't seem to have seen you." ”

"I'm from Yixian, I'm here to do some errands, I heard that you are a beekeeper, so I want to take some honey with me. Yang Yi replied with a smile.

"Oh...... , I still have a few catties there, you have to buy it sincerely, I will give you forty-one catties. ”

"Uh, can I take a look first?"

"People in the city are troublesome, I am all good honey, other people's families harvest once a day, and give you sugar, but I harvest it every seven days, and there is no ambiguity at all!"

The old man shouted, but he didn't refuse, "I can't see it today, tomorrow, I'll have breakfast here every day, you can come to me early tomorrow morning." ”

"Okay, I'm sorry for you," Yang Yi said with a smile.

Unconsciously, after sitting for a long time, a fried noodle was also eaten clean by Yang Yi, and he was sure to go to see the bees tomorrow, so he was about to get up and leave, and the old man also muttered: "Okay, if you don't drink it, you can't go back if you drink it." ”

Yang Yi looked at the old man's appearance, he was already slightly drunk, and he was a little staggered when he stood up.

The two of them settled the account, the old man was in front, Yang Yi was behind, and they walked out together, when they opened the door, the old man was a little unsteady, and he staggered, Yang Yi hurriedly stretched out his hand to hold on, "Uncle, are you okay?"

"It's okay, it's okay, this person, if you have something to worry about, this amount of alcohol will not work, as usual, I can drink half a catty of it if I have nothing to do." ”

The light was on at the door of the hotel, dispelling a small piece of darkness, and the old man happened to stand at the junction of light and dark, and the light and darkness blended together on the old man's rough face, forming a strange face.

At this moment, the old man suddenly twisted his neck back, as if there were no bones in his neck, and forced the meat tendons around, and then, the corners of the old man's mouth cracked, revealing a strange and gloomy smile: "Young man, the road is slippery on rainy days, you have to be careful." ”

"Shhh

When Yang Yi saw this face, he only felt a chill, starting from his tail vertebrae, crackling and exploding directly to the back of his head, Yang Yi instinctively wanted to pull his legs and run, but the old man returned to a dark and old ordinary face.

Yang Yi was stunned for a moment, not sure if it was his hallucination just now or if the light was too dim and he didn't see clearly.

The old man leaned over, coughed hoarsely twice, and said like a normal person: "Young man, then I'll go first, remember to come tomorrow, I'll wait for you", after speaking, he picked up the hat on the side and put it on, shook his body and slowly disappeared into the rain.

The rain is still falling, but it's going to be a little lighter. Yang Yi forgot to open the umbrella while carrying it, and watched the old man's back disappear into the night, only then did he suddenly wake up and run away.

The street was dark and rumbling, there were no street lights, only a faint light from the windows on both sides, Yang Yi ran all the way back to the hotel, already covered with water vapor.

The proprietress was still watching TV, and Er Kang's heart-rending roar happened to be heard on the TV: "Ziwei, don't go ......." ”

The proprietress glanced at Yang Yi and didn't say anything, but Yang Yi calmed down, and after seeing the breath of a living person, she didn't have the fear she had just now.

Yang Yi wanted to go upstairs, but he stopped again and asked, "Eldest sister, I want to ask you something." ”

"What's the matter?"

"You have an old beekeeper here, do you know?"

"Know, what's the matter, he died a few days ago, what are you asking him for?" The proprietress seemed a little surprised Yang Yi asked Lao Zhao, raised her head and glanced at Yang Yi again.

"Dead?" Yang Yi was shocked.

"Yes, the mourning has been sent. The proprietress said with certainty.

Almost instantly, Yang Yi felt a hot dry pain in his throat, and at the same time, an inexplicable fear emerged, and Yang Yi shivered unconsciously, as if the season had suddenly changed from early summer to cold winter.

Yang Yi gasped rapidly, like a drowning person, his mouth was wide open but he couldn't breathe a trace of air, Yang Yi's face turned pale, "Big ...... Eldest sister, can you help me contact the car, any car will do, I want to go back to Yixian. ”

"Now?" the proprietress was a little incredulous, turning her head to look at the wall clock, "It's past 10 o'clock." ”

"Yes, now, right now!"

"It's hard to find a car on this big night!"

Yang Yi trembled and touched the pocket on his body, took out the cash in his pocket one by one, there were thousands of pieces, and slapped it on the counter, "Are these enough?"

The proprietress glanced at the cash on the counter, obviously a little moved, "I'll try, you go up and pack your things first." ”

"Good. Yang Yi ran upstairs, came to his room, hurriedly began to sort out the backpack, the room was quiet and drowsy, no different from before, downstairs came the sound of a motorcycle engine, the light swept through the window, and suddenly illuminated the room some, and then disappeared, and the surroundings seemed to be even darker.

"The proprietress said that Lao Zhao is dead, so what do I see?

"Even if it's a ghost, how can it appear in the daytime?"

Yang Yi thought nonsense, the more he thought about it, the more panicked he became, he had never experienced this kind of thing when he was so big, he was really at a loss for a while, Yang Yi had just finished packing his backpack, and suddenly heard a sound of slow and heavy footsteps coming from the silent corridor, squeaking on the floor, and every time he raised his feet, it seemed sticky and laborious.

Yang Yi turned around violently, as the footsteps got closer and closer, Yang Yi clearly smelled a strange breath, his nose has always been very sensitive since eating red fruits, but at this moment, this sensitivity made his fear swell more and more, because that breath contained a trace of the fishy smell of rotten flesh.

"Plop," Yang Yi's heart beat wildly, and he hurriedly looked around, only to find that there was not even anything that could be used as a weapon, not even a chair.

"Bang, bang", the footsteps got closer and closer, and finally Yang Yi clearly felt that he stopped at the door of his room, and a hoarse laughter sounded: "Young man, don't you want to see honey?

"You, what the hell are you?" Yang Yiqiang calmed down, trembling all over his body, and slowly approached the window.

"I'm Lao Zhao, we met in the hotel just now, I heard that you want to go back, so I brought you honey, my honey is good, others are harvested once a day, but I harvest it every seven days. ”

The voice said unhurriedly outside the door, as if Yang Yi was already in the bag, Yang Yi didn't say a word, and slowly moved to the window.

"Young man, do you want to come out and have a look?"

......

"Well, since you don't open the door, I'll take it in and show you. ”

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard a tooth-aching sound, as if he was squeezing something, and the door panel was squeezed and creaked.

Tightly, through the cracks in the door and the bottom, a viscous liquid, red, white, and yellow, slowly poured in, with a strong fishy smell.

Yang Yi only felt that his stomach was tumbling after seeing it, and he hurriedly covered his mouth, and the thing in front of him was clearly that a person was thrown into the meat grinder, and then the bones, minced meat, and internal organs mixed with blood all flowed out in one go.

Yang Yi was now completely occupied by fear, and his current experience was completely beyond his own cognition, and immediately, he stepped on the table with his feet raised, and stood on the balcony with one step.

The house is on the second floor, whether it is high or not, and the bottom is not low, Yang Yi glanced down, it was black, and he couldn't see the road conditions clearly, and now he couldn't take care of this, it was important to escape, and he gritted his teeth and jumped down.

The moment he landed, Yang Yi's body bent slightly, leaned forward, and then took advantage of the momentum to roll, and immediately stood up again.

There was actually a sound of a TV series on the first floor, and Yang Yi couldn't care about the proprietress anymore, so he ran to the street without looking back.

"Anyone? Anyone?"

Yang Yi kept shouting at the top of his throat, which seemed particularly clear in the dark night, and there were still a few lights on the street, but at the moment it was exceptionally quiet and silent.

After running for a while, Yang Yi saw that the small shop he had just eaten in front of him sped up, and couldn't help but feel a little hopeful.

When he arrived at the door, Yang Yi looked inside anxiously, and found that the shopkeeper and his wife were sitting side by side behind the counter, and after seeing Yang Yi, they waved to him neatly, and suddenly, the corners of their mouths cracked at the same time, with a smile on their faces, the same as the old man just now.

"Ah......h

Yang Yi shouted, his whole body seemed a little weak because of extreme fear, and he stumbled a few steps, Yang Yi couldn't help but yell, if he didn't guess wrong, he was the only living person in this town now.

Can anyone tell me, what's going on, how did a good town become a ghost town, Yang Yi kept thinking in his heart, what should I do now? I can't fight it, and I may not have beaten it, I can't escape, I can't escape, I can't run, I can't run away.

In an instant, all kinds of emotions filled Yang Yi's head, he didn't know the road, so he ran along the street in front of him, and he didn't dare to relax for a moment, at this moment, Yang Yi had already smelled the fishy smell again, as well as the hoarse laughter: "Hey, hey, hey...... , young man, you run slowly, the old man is old, his legs and feet are not good, and he can't catch up with you young people. ”

The voice was like a cat teasing a mouse, falling behind Yang Yi, full of banter and teasing, "Young man, you slow down, you will come to my house in front, don't be too anxious." ”

As this voice fell, Yang Yi felt that the street began to slowly narrow under his feet, and the buildings on both sides suddenly disappeared, and a hill appeared inexplicably in front of him.

The rain was still falling, Yang Yi felt that his body was getting colder and colder, and finally, his feet slipped, and Yang Yi fell to the ground.

"Grandma is a bear, fight. Yang Yi, who fell to the ground, did not give up, not only did he not despair, but he was ruthless, he pressed his hands on the ground, quickly stood up, looked around, and found that there were muddy dirt roads everywhere, and not far from him was the hill, the hill was overgrown with bushes and rustling, at this moment, he really hesitated like hell.

"I'm looking for something to use as a weapon," Yang Yi kept walking around, but he didn't find anything, he couldn't see anything, and unconsciously took out his mobile phone, wanting to use the light of the mobile phone to see if there was anything suitable on the road as a weapon.

When Yang Yi subconsciously saw the screen of the mobile phone, he couldn't help but froze for a moment, there was a small green sign at the top of the mobile phone, that was a reminder of unread information, habitually clicking on the unread message, the sender was Xiao Nan, but the content was empty, and the above was the chat record of the two just now.

The message was sent at 9:25 a.m., and it was already 11 p.m. sharp.

Suddenly, as if he thought of something, Yang Yi's whole body was shocked, he finished chatting with Xiao Nan, just looked at the time, it was nine o'clock, and then he meditated and entered, felt the restlessness of the aura, and heard the strange sound of the tide, and then felt hungry, and then ran to the hotel, and then met Lao Zhao.

From the end of the chat to the time he entered the meditation, Yang Yi estimated that it was about more than 10 minutes, that is to say, Xiao Nan's message was sent after he entered the meditation, but why was it blank?

"Hehe, young man, why don't you run, are you tired, come to my house to rest when you are tired, don't worry, you will also become a good honey ......" The hoarse voice continued to say, and it got closer and closer, and it was in front of Yang Yi's eyes in a blink of an eye.

When he saw this thing in front of him, Yang Yi couldn't help but spit it out again, he couldn't tell that it was a human at all, just like a candle to the end, with wax mixed with wax and oil, completely kneaded and solidified together.

There was no mouth, but a clear voice: "Young man, you ......." ”

As soon as he was halfway through speaking, he was suddenly interrupted by Yang Yi, "I know what you are." ”

"Oh?" the lump said in a different tone for the first time, as if there was a hint of surprise, and even forgot to squirm on the ground and stopped in place.

"You're not Lao Zhao, you're not a ghost, this isn't a mountain, and you're not your home," Yang Yi paused, then said, "This is still Mingao Town, I'm still me, and you're nothing ......." ”

Yang Yi's eyes became brighter and brighter, and he suddenly smiled: "I'm still in the room." ”

Boom, as soon as Yang Yi's words fell, the surrounding space began to distort and blur, and the last little bit disappeared......
