In a huge village, suddenly there were only two big living people, me and Zhang Qianqian.

The whole village was dead and silent, like a huge tomb.

I stood on the main street in the village, and one foot was so painful that I couldn't even stand on my feet, so I could only jump to a stone on the side of the road and sit down, trying to empty my messy head, trying to figure out what was going on in the village now.

Now there are two questions: First, will the people of the village become like this in the second half of the night? Second, they are alive with flesh and blood and warmth during the day, but at night they become stiff and cold...... What the hell are they?

Also, will they wake up again tomorrow?

I thought about it for a moment, then endured the pain, twisted a few times, and then tried to slam the board with my hand hard, and I heard a crisp sound, and then there was a piercing pain in my foot, and I gritted my teeth and waited for the pain to slowly subside, and then I felt that my foot was much better.

I stood up and tried it, except for the pain in my feet and neck, it was indeed much better, and it basically didn't affect my walking except for a slight stinging pain when I walked.

After I was able to walk on my feet, I went to the village entrance again to see if there was any change in the village entrance in the second half of the night.

What disappointed me was that the entrance to the village was still the same as what I saw before, and I couldn't get out at all! The glimmer of hope that had risen was once again dispelled!

After the hope that had just been raised was dispelled, the feeling of powerlessness came back to me, and I returned to my house exhausted. As soon as I walked to my door, I saw that the door of our house was actually open!

"Damn, who's coming!" I distinctly remember that I deliberately closed the door when I left, how did it open now?

With the scythe still in my hand, I paused in the doorway for a moment, then turned sideways and cautiously walked down the hallway. I walked very slowly, lest someone lurk in the shadows and suddenly attack me—I don't have the slightest skill to be distracted.

I walked all the way to my yard, and there was still no abnormality around me.

Suddenly I had the courage to restrain myself to my own room, checked the kitchen, and then cautiously walked towards my mother's room.

Before leaving, I also turned off the light in my mother's room, and now my mother's room is also dark and empty, and I can't see the situation inside, so I can only act carefully.

My heart was beating fast, my throat was dry, my mouth felt dry, my hand holding the handle of the sickle was covered with sweat, and several times I felt like I couldn't hold the sickle and almost slipped out of my hand.

It took me a long time to move from the door to my mother's house.

"What are you doing?" I had just stepped into my mother's house with one foot when a voice rang out.

This sudden sound suddenly sounded, I trembled with fright, and the sickle in my hand almost fell to the ground, I forcibly grabbed the sickle, swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and then trembled and slowly turned my head to look at the bed. As soon as I turned my head, I suddenly saw a figure sitting upright on the bed, looking straight at me.

"Mom......" I swallowed and screamed with difficulty.

"What are you doing, I ask?" My mother's voice was cold and her tone was stiff, like someone who hadn't spoken for a long time suddenly spoke, "You haven't answered my question yet." ”

My body shook again, and I quickly put the scythe in my hand on the table near the bed—if my mother turned on the light and saw the scythe in my hand later, she would be suspicious.

I must not let her find out!

"I, I'm going to find Sissi." I tried to keep my voice steady, and then I found the best reason to fight back against them, "She, she said she wanted to see me. ”

I'd like to see what she says.

Strangely, my mom didn't even think to turn on the lights, and just looked at me in the dark.

After watching it for a long time, just when my nervous scalp was numb, my mother suddenly changed the tone of voice that spoke to me during the day, and said in a serious tone: "You guys are going to do things soon, and you are not in a hurry for this day or two, how bad it is to go to see someone bumped into in the middle of the night." Okay, you go back to sleep. ”

My tense nerves suddenly relaxed!

"Mom, you, don't be angry, I won't be in the future. Then I'll go back to sleep......" After relaxing, my voice was not so nervous, and after saying hello, I took the sickle that had just been placed on the table, and hurried out of my mother's room.

After coming out of my mother's house, I rushed to my own room and threw myself directly on the bed, my heart still pounding with nervousness!

Tonight's scene was like a movie, frame by frame flashing through my mind, and the more I thought about it, the more nervous I felt breathless: when I went out, my mother was still cold, but when I came back, she actually returned to normal.

"Woo Woo ......" There was a sudden sound of a dog barking outside.

I instantly understood that the village, which had just been dead and silent, had "come to life" again.

Moreover, the whole village has come to life!

This shows that the process of their "death" is only a few hours - a few days ago, I usually slept at about 12 o'clock at night, and today when I got up to drink water, it was 3 o'clock, and now it is 4:30, that is to say, the process of their "death" is about five hours!

After this period of time, the whole village will come back to life and return to the conditions it had had during the day.

This speculation is entirely based on my initial guess, and if this is the case, then tomorrow night, the whole village will "die" at some time at the same time, and then "live" together!

If I can find out what pattern they have, or how to control it, maybe I'll be able to get out of the village!

It's just that tomorrow is the fourth day, and if I still can't do anything on the fourth day, then I won't be able to control the day after tomorrow.

So, there has to be a breakthrough tomorrow.

After thinking about it for hours, it was dawning soon.

In the morning, before I got up, my mother came in, no longer the cold feeling of last night, and returned to the gentleness and kindness that I had only found during the day. Just when I saw her come in, I thought of what I looked like when I saw her last night, and my nerves instantly tensed.

"Fengzi, you have to go to Zhang's house today to send a dowry, you hurry up and dress up, let's go over." My mother said to me with a smile on her face: "Your uncle and three uncles are all gone, and you can behave well and worry about your affairs." ”

I was slightly flustered, but I still pretended to be puzzled on the surface, "Mom, didn't you get married tomorrow, why did you go to give the bride price today?" ”

"You kid...... That's right, you've been going to school outside, so naturally you don't know our customs. The bride price should indeed be given tomorrow, but tomorrow to get married, there are a lot of things, you can only send the money first, and wait for tomorrow to use red paper instead of money to put it in the gift plate. My mom snorted and explained, "Okay, I'll wait for you, hurry up." ”

I scratched my head in embarrassment and agreed.

When my mom walked to the door, she turned to look at me again, "Fengzi, did you really go to Sissi last night?" Where did you meet? ”

My heart thumped, knowing she was tempting me.

"At about twelve o'clock in the evening, she was waiting for me at the stage in our village, and I went straight to ...... Mom, we're getting married, so even if we meet in the evening, it'll be fine. Besides, at that time the people in the village were asleep, and no one would see it. I forcibly feigned composure, and after some explanation, I made a fuss about you.

I don't know if it's my delusion, but after listening to my explanation, my mother seemed to be slightly relieved, and then said that it was okay, and asked me to pack up quickly and go out.

Watching her back leave, I suddenly sat down on the bed, and then I felt my heart pounding so badly, as if it could jump out of my chest at any moment.

But another thought suddenly flashed through my mind: If my mother was so nervous, did I know about their situation last night, does that mean that they are the most vulnerable during this time, and they are the least able for me to detect the abnormality?

If this were the case, then the weaknesses and flaws of the village would only be apparent at that time!

What I'm going to do today is to find the flaws in the entire village during this time period, and then find a way to get out of here, quickly find the cold man, and see what happened.

Thinking of this, I suddenly had a lot of strength all over my body, quickly cleaned up and dressed up, and followed my mother to Lao Zhang's house.

There are many people in Lao Zhang's family, including mine's, Lao Zhang's, and other neighbors, who are all busy, and everyone has a smile on their faces.

I was pushed around and joking like a puppet, but I nervously observed everyone's situation, searching for Zhang Qianqian's figure with my eyes.
