Jiang Jun swallowed his saliva, and the voice was heard clearly in the quiet night. There were still a few things in the pit that were slowly wriggling, Jiang Jun took a deep breath, and after letting us step aside, he used a branch to pull out all the snake bodies that had been cut into sections.

There were a few snakes that were intact, they weren't dead yet, they were wriggling. Jiang Jun tossed aside a few snakes that were still alive. After careful counting, there were dozens of snakes' bodies here, and the pit was also dug to the bottom, which was as deep as one of a person's legs.

"I just stepped on something like this?" Jiang Jun looked at the snake body on the ground and snorted.

Women are naturally more afraid of this animal than men, and Xu Yi has hid behind me and is afraid to look, she is clutching my arm, her fingertips are as cold as ice cubes. In the end, Jiang Jun buried all these things back in the pit at my suggestion, because I thought it was probably some kind of custom in the village.

The fact that so many snakes died unnaturally and were buried in a large pit in the middle of the road is indeed a custom in the village. After restoring the scene, we continued to walk towards the village, but we were more cautious than before. Perhaps because there was a shadow in his heart, Jiang Jun had been carefully staring at the road for the rest of the journey, afraid of stepping into some pit again.

We finally walked to the place where there were more houses in the village, I looked at my watch, it was past eight o'clock in the evening, but since we entered the village, none of the houses have lights on.

"The people in this village are sleeping too early, aren't they?" Jiang Jun asked with a frown, the beam in his hand was very weak.

I didn't answer Jiang Jun, this village is indeed very strange, whether it is the snake pit on the road, or every house is not lit. It was not early, we continued to walk towards the innermost part of the village, there are more houses in this area, the layout of the houses in the village is not fixed, we walked for a while, and felt a little winding.

Finally, we reached the innermost part of the village, which was special compared to the other houses, as it seemed to be the only three-story house in the village. There was a faint glow in the cracks in the wooden doors of the house. We stared intimately at the light in the crack in the door on the ground, and it flickered, getting brighter and brighter.

Suddenly, the yellowing glimmer went out, and at the same time, the wooden door creaked open.

Xu Yi was frightened and took a step back, Jiang Jun and I watched vigilantly at the crack in the door that was getting bigger and bigger, and finally, a black shadow appeared behind the door. Jiang Jun immediately shone the flashlight on the man's face, and the corners of his mouth were raised, as if he was smiling, staring at us directly.

"Are you Sun Xiang?" Jiang Jun asked as he looked him up and down.

The man was dressed in loose black clothes, and he was holding a candlestick in his hand, and the light that had just come from under the crack in the door was coming from the candlestick in his hand. He nodded, said nothing, turned and walked in the door, he didn't close it, he didn't ask who we were.

We followed, and he stopped abruptly and told us to close the door, and he spoke very slowly, with phlegm in his throat. After saying that, he continued to walk inside, Jiang Jun closed the door, the house was very dark, and as soon as we entered, the strong smell of burning came to our faces. During this time, I often smelled this smell, and I subconsciously looked for an incense altar to burn incense.

The man had already sat down on a wooden chair, and he stopped again when he saw the flashlight in my hand dangling.

"Don't look around, what you see, I'm not responsible......" he said to me quietly.

"Pretending to be a ghost." Jiang Jun muttered.

Out of politeness, I fixed the flashlight in my hand in one spot, and he pointed to a few wooden chairs across from him and asked us to sit down. After that, before we could say anything, he said that he had known that someone was going to come to him, but he couldn't tell who it was. There was a wooden table between us and him, and he reached out and lifted the bowl on the table, and saw a few copper coins in the bowl.

Jiang Jun was stunned and asked rhetorically: "Are you a fortune teller?" ”

He nodded and asked who we were.

Me: "Are you Mr. Sun Xiang?" ”

Him: "I can hear your voice, you are the policeman who called me the other day. ”

Sure enough, he was Sun Xiang. He stood up when he heard my voice, he was not very happy, and pushed the bowl aside, and the copper coins in the bowl knocked on the wall of the bowl, and the crisp sound rang in the room for a long time. I thought Sun Xiang would drive us away, but he told us to sleep in the room on the right side of the second floor. With that, he himself went upstairs first.

Jiang Jun called Sun Xiang's name a few times, but Sun Xiang ignored him completely, and his figure disappeared into the gloomy staircase. After a long time, his faint voice came from the dark place again: Don't run around at night......

After Sun Xiang left, Jiang Jun said that Sun Xiang was too strange, pretending to be a ghost, and in the middle of the night, it made people's scalp a little numb.

Jiang Jun and Xu Yi asked me what to do, and I told them to be careful, it was so late that we couldn't go back if we wanted to. Since Sun Xiang let us sleep here, we will stay here, as long as we are vigilant, nothing will happen.

We went up to the second floor with flashlights and entered the room that Sun Xiang had mentioned, only to find that the small room was separated by a wall with bricks. This wall forcibly divided the room into two, and Jiang Jun said that he was resting outside without thinking about it, and let us in.

Thinking that Xu Yi was also there, I didn't refuse, but we all discussed it and tried not to fall asleep.

Unlike what I expected, the room was not particularly dirty, and there was no strange smell, and the bedding on the bed and everything else looked like brand new. After Xu Yi lay down, I asked her to go to sleep quickly, Xu Yi's face was very unsightly, and she needed to rest. Soon, Xu Yi fell asleep.

I took a flashlight and shone it on the ceiling, but I didn't see any lights at all, and there didn't seem to be any lights in this room.

I don't know how long it took, but the beam of the flashlight slowly weakened and finally went out, and before the light was all gone, I looked at my watch, and it was already past three o'clock in the morning. I've been thinking about Sun Xiang's appearance, and after seeing him, I feel that Sun Xiang is even more eccentric.

It was very irrational to live in a stranger's house, so I didn't dare to sleep at all, lest something happen to me, and just as I was thinking about it, I seemed to hear some strange noise, as if someone was walking outside. I immediately rolled out of bed and cautiously walked to the outside room.

The door was closed, and the flashlight left for Jiang Jun had been extinguished, so I called Jiang Jun softly, and Jiang Jun also rolled out of bed.

"Do you hear that?" I asked Jiang Jun softly.

Jiang Jun and I were both standing behind the door at the moment, and the voice was on the other side of the door, as if there was a person pacing in front of the door of this room.

Jiang Jun suppressed his voice: "Professor Li, is that Sun Xiang doing ghosts?" ”

After Jiang Jun asked this, the voice suddenly disappeared, Jiang Jun and I hesitated for a while, but still opened the door. It was dark outside the door, and when I looked down at the entrance of the building, it was even darker. Finding nothing, we closed the door again, and I discussed it with Jiang Jun and decided to be more careful.

But then, until dawn the next day, we didn't hear the strange sound anymore, Xu Yi didn't recognize the bed, she slept very peacefully, and when she woke up, her face looked much better. We opened the door and walked out of the room, and when we went downstairs, we saw the layout of the first floor that we hadn't seen clearly last night.

There were several tables on the first floor, and on the table there was a large altar of incense, and a freshly lit incense stick was smoking. There were several bowls on the table, and I recognized them, and they were the bowls that Sun Xiang said he used to tell fortunes.

Jiang Jun looked around and found no shadow of Sun Xiang. Jiang Jun scratched his head and said that he never thought that Sun Zaiyun's brother would be a fortune teller, and he didn't understand how this kind of person would work in the same factory with Sun Zaiyun before. However, Jiang Jun joked with a smile that the two Sun brothers, one cheated money, and the other pretended to be a ghost to tell fortunes, both of them were liars.

But as soon as he finished speaking, Sun Xiang came back from outside the door.

His movements were fast, and he was like the slow and leisurely man he had done last night. He stood at the door, told us to say something quickly, and leave the village as soon as we were done.

This time, most of my visit was based on intuition. Xu Yi and I both thought the abandoned factory was weird, so we wanted to find out. Sun Zaiyun refused to say, others didn't know, maybe we could only find Sun Xiang to understand the situation.

"I'd like to know, I'd like to inquire about the factory where you two used to work together."

When I mentioned the factory, Sun Xiang's face instantly turned pale......
