Big Banyan Village. This is the closest location to Chang'an in Foping County. Across a ridge is the provincial capital Chang'an. According to Jiang Xian, the big banyan tree is two kilometers away from the village.

This mountain range that crosses the two major urban areas of Xingyuan and Chang'an is the famous Qinling Mountains. The Qinling Mountains in Darong Village, Foping County, are the highest altitude, and the locals call it Chaotianmen.

In the Jingnan area at the end of September and summer, the mountains and fields are dyed green with layers of mountains. Tender green, fresh green, dark green, dark green...... Layers of foliage render a variety of different colors. Forms a natural gradient brocade. Plus the wild flowers dotted with it, the abundant fruits. Let this picture of nature be stunning.

Get off from Foping County, drive to Darong Village, and there are dozens of kilometers of mountain roads. Rugged and steep. It's not a highway that can be described at all, it's a real loess road. Climbing between the major branches of the Qinling Mountains, but seeing a mountain fall and a mountain rises again, the colorful natural colors fill the heaven and earth, which makes people can't help but give birth to a kind of mountain with the plains, and the feeling of turbulence between the mountains.

"Oooooooooo——!oo In the convoy ahead, the sound of people shouting heroically at the top of their voices was already sounding. From time to time, mobile phones stick out of the car window and snap pictures of the beautiful scenery along the way. As more and more people enter the unmanned development zone, the natural brush is becoming more and more magical. The mountains are undulating on the back of the dragon, the flowers and plants are like colorful ink paintings, and the streams are like silver dragons lying on the ground. The sky is high and the earth is far away, and the heart flies with the wind.

"You didn't tell them what they were doing in this business?" In the middle car, Jiang Xian asked without raising his head while looking at the map.

Before the words fell, the car shook suddenly. Everyone moved an inch away from their seats, and then slammed down. But no one wailed, after all, they were used to it along the way.

"A bunch of recruits, eggs, sons." Chu Ziyi was beside him, closing his eyes and recuperating: "Facing the magic of nature, or the wisdom of ancient ancestors." You have to fill it with your life. It's better that they still don't know anything. After all...... Ignorance is fearless. ”

At this moment, the car finally stopped. Jiang Xian closed the map, and just in front of him, an extremely remote village had already appeared. The houses built of loess are stacked in twos and threes, and there will be no more than ten in the count. On the dirt road into the village, there were already people waiting there.

It's Director Ma.

Seeing Jiang Xian jump out of the car, Director Ma walked up in three steps and two steps. Hurriedly held Jiang Xian's hand: "It's hard work, how is it?" Have faith? ”

"Of course there is faith." Jiang Xian patted him on the shoulder soothingly: "But if it doesn't work, you have to give it a try." That's the best I've been able to do in the shortest amount of time. How is it in the prefecture? ”

mentioned the county, Director Ma smiled bitterly: "You don't know...... The second daring son's mother-in-law and his brothers and brothers almost surrounded the county government. We still have to eat and live...... Originally, the county magistrate looked at me horizontally and vertically, and was about to take the opportunity to masturbate me. Results ......"

He cautiously glanced at the convoy and said in a low voice, "The person you are looking for this time has a lot of energy." ”

Jiang Xian raised his eyebrows: "What do you say?" ”

"The county originally ordered me to continue the search immediately, but a call from Yanjing never mentioned it again."

Jiang Xian nodded knowingly. Shenzhou said that all the difficulties they solve, it is indeed not a joke.

"Don't worry, Uncle Ma. If you don't go back, there's no place to live. I'll let you know as soon as there's news. ”

Director Ma left worriedly. Jiang Xian looked at this isolated village with interest, watching the people in the team carry boxes of equipment and build wire beds. He walked around the village.

The village is not large, covering an area of about three or four hundred meters. The trees are shady, the stream is murmuring next to the village, and there is a dry ancient well in the village. If you don't have something to do, this is indeed a good place for self-cultivation. But...... The more he walked, the slower Jiang Xian's pace became.

He turned his head abruptly and looked at the house dozens of meters away. Then he turned his head to look at another house not far in front of him, and his brow furrowed deeply.

Three meters in front of him was the fence of a farmer's house. There are no dogs, and there are no animals. The door was closed, clinging to the faded New Year's paintings. Even...... Even the windows were shut. There is a layer of white paper on it.

He walked straight up.

The fence was not closed, and he walked over to the gate and tried it gently, and the gate had already fallen from the inside. He knocked lightly on the door and said in a deep voice, "Is there anyone?" ”

No response.

"Excuse me, anyone?" He knocked it down hard for more than ten seconds in a row. Then, he immediately stuck to the door and listened carefully.

Still no sound.

No dog barking, no vocals. Just as he was about to leave, he suddenly heard a ...... Heh, heh, weird sounds.

It's heavy.

It was as if a terminally ill man was about to die, in his final struggle. The sound grew louder and louder, like a cow panting. After more than ten seconds, the voice and his ...... Only one door away!

Whoosh...... Whoosh...... The sound of death sounded in my ears. In the excessively silent village, on a sunny afternoon, the sound is not calm, but rather eerie.

"We're from a foreign land." Jiang Xian said as he moved towards the crack in the door: "I want to ask a friend about something......

In the next second, his voice stopped abruptly!

Then, like an electric shock, he slammed back a few meters!

He saw it......

He saw it clearly...... Right in the crack of the door, a bloodshot dusk eye was staring at him condescendingly!

Very high...... Very high, I'm afraid two meters, in the crack of the pitch-black door, like the Eye of Death overlooking the earth. And not much light input for him to see...... Strands of snow-white hair are falling on each other's faces! The mouth, which could only be seen as a trace, was full of jagged yellow teeth, covered in bloodshot!

Is this still human?

At that moment, Jiang Xian's heart stopped beating. After reacting, it was a move to retreat a few meters. He stared at the crack in the door, his whole body on alert, and still asked in a deep voice, "Do I need to call a doctor for you?" ”

Bang Dang!! Before he could finish speaking, there was a loud bang behind the door, as if something had hit it, and then rolled to the ground. Then, there was the sound of crazy hammering!

"Huh...... Hehe...... Hehehe!! The heavy and terrifying gasps did not stop at all, and the dust on the entire door frame was falling wildly. It's as if it were not a man at all, but a beast!

Knock knock!! After two minutes of continuous hammering, the voice finally faded.

Immediately after that, there is a ...... A heart-wrenching "rustle" sound.

It was light, mixed with the sound of the summer wind blowing through the woods. But it is like scratching down on people's skin, and layers of chicken skin are rising.

"Dead ......" a trembling voice sounded softly from behind the door in a twisted way: "You guys...... Want...... Dead ......"

"The people here...... All...... Die...... ...... to death"

Jiang Xian watched quietly for five minutes, then turned to leave.

As he walked, he dialed the phone: "Old Ma, how does Da Rong Village usually live?" ”

"Huh?" Director Ma was in the car, and he was a little puzzled when he heard this question, but he still instinctively said: "There is a poverty alleviation fund." Occasionally, they will ask someone to come out and sell some cattle and sheep or something......"

Before he could finish speaking, Jiang Xian immediately interrupted him: "Have any of you seen the appearance of the villagers of Darong Village?" ”

"There may be...... Right? Director Ma also said uncertainly: "Xiaojiang, the geography of Darong Village is very complicated. He does not belong to either Xingyuan City or Chang'an City, and is just in the middle of the junction of the two. To say that it is the village are exaggerating it. The village cadres are not rightly named, and they usually don't come here at all. I want to think about it...... The last time I came to Da Banyan Village was ...... Ay...... That's right! ”

He slapped his thigh suddenly: "I remember!" ”

"Four years ago, when I was a junior. A college student from poverty alleviation has been here. It is to be a teacher in a few villages such as stuffy cows. You also know that these villages are too far away from the county seat, there are about three or four...... We also deliberately allocated a piece of land for him in the sixth group of Qingshan Village. And guess what? ”

"Uncle Ma." Jiang Xian rolled his eyes: "Now is not the time to sell Guanzi. This village ...... I'm afraid there is a problem. ”

Director Ma coughed lightly: "I'm sorry, that's the case." At that time, all the villages signed up. But there was no sign up for this big banyan village. ”

Then, this volunteer teacher came directly to Darong Village. His original intention was to educate the villagers about the importance of knowledge. It turned out ......" he took a deep breath and said in a deep voice, "He's crazy." ”

"Crazy?" Jiang Xian frowned.

"Yes." Director Ma's voice was a little heavy: "There are few people who volunteer to teach, and every volunteer teacher is very precious. So, we borrowed a car from him and asked him to come to Darong Village. The driver did not get out of the car at that time. It is said that the volunteer teacher went to knock on the door one by one......"

"Wait." Jiang Xian interrupted again: "Knock on the door, that is, the villagers of Darong Village still haven't appeared?" ”

Director Ma also felt that something was wrong, and in the car, he finally sat up straight and said solemnly: "That's right...... It seems like...... It seems that for more than ten years, it is not ...... No one has seen them for decades! Because of the special terrain, no one wants to take up the task of being well-off in this village. But...... They also never communicate with the county and town! ”

"Yes, they even ask someone to sell vegetables, cattle and sheep! Never catch the market! No wonder...... No wonder you said at the time that there was a village here when I was taking aerial photographs, and I didn't remember it. The county government asked all over the country and said no, and it wasn't until I looked for the county chronicle that I remembered this big banyan village. ”

Jiang Xian nodded: "Go on, how is that volunteer teacher crazy?" ”

Director Ma recalled, organized the language, and said in a deep voice: "It's not crazy. Coming out of the big banyan village, there are some gods and gods. But he didn't say anything at the time, just looked out the window. It wasn't until I returned to the county seat that I suddenly went crazy that night. ”

"I remember that it was written in the information that while tearing his clothes, he screamed and said, 'Immortal Fuding', what 'immortal', and ran around the county party committee. The next day the doctor came and said he was crazy. ”

The immortals stroked my top and gave me immortality!

These two sentences flashed in Jiang Xian's mind like lightning. He closed his eyes and let out a long sigh of relief: "I see." ”

He hung up the phone and pondered. And he had already reached the middle of the village unconsciously. At that moment, there was a gentle tap on the shoulder.

"Master Jiang." Hong Siniang was standing behind him, and the other party couldn't hear any sound when he walked, like a feather floating on the ground.

He gently pinched his fingertips with vermilion nail polish and smiled softly: "This village, it's a little interesting?" ”

"It's very interesting." Jiang Xian looked up at the sparse earthen house: "You also found it?" ”

The corners of Hong Siniang's mouth hooked: "People are not blind, and the tricks are bright." Walk? Hachi and Ling are waiting for us over there. ”

Jiang Xian's mouth was crooked, so, what the hell are Xiaoba and Xiaoling!
