It was pitch black outside, and I could only tell where the old woman was by her voice. Although she moved slowly, it was always eerie, as if she was changing direction with each step, changing every time.

"Click......

"What the hell is she doing?" Even I started to get a little nervous.

"Rushed out and tied her up, the first trial will not be over." The fat man was talking nonsense on the side.

"Be quiet!" I turned my head and glared at him, "What if the grass startles the snake!" ”

At this time, the old woman happened to pass by the window, she was holding a posthumous portrait, the black and white posthumous portrait under the miserable white lantern, the face looked very strange and gloomy, a face of resentment and evil, and her eyes were covered with a dead black shadow.

And something on her body slammed into my eyes.

It was a pair of red embroidered shoes.

Then she returned to the main hall.

There was also the black pot and four pairs of chopsticks on the table, and she sewed the black cotton jacket stitch by stitch, and there were words in her mouth. It didn't take long for her to come out, she had already changed into a black silk embroidered longevity dress, tied a willow green Fu'an longevity belt around her waist, and stroked the portrait and said: "Old man, you are here, I will sew a jacket for you, and it will not be cold to wear." The old grave is shady, and it won't be cold when you put on your jacket. ”

"Good girl, is she doing a death day?" The fat man peeked through the crack in the door.

"Let's take a look." The fat man and I sneaked out and came under her window.

But I didn't want to, because our movements were too big, or the old woman's ears were amazing, we had just lifted the window slightly, and the old woman actually raised her head and looked out of the window with dark eyes.

I pulled down the fat man and hid under the window.

Hold your breath and feel your heart beating like a drum.

"Let's go!" I whispered in my ear.

The two of them hunched over and tiptoed along.

"Stop!" The old lady drank in a gloomy voice, leaned over, stared at us coldly, and shouted, "Don't come out!" I told you not to come out. ”

The old woman roared fiercely, frantically fiddling her paws, as if to strangle us.

"Damn, this old woman looks lame and crutches, why are her ears so good!" The fat man complained secretly.

"Who's to say it isn't!" I knew that I could only admit it this time, and I hurriedly thought about how to fulfill the lie.

"Old man, I heard a voice in your room, so, so come out and see if you need help......" I forced my composure.

The old woman turned into the house in despair, and no longer bothered us, muttering, "The damned are all dead, why aren't the damned still dead......

The wind was still raging in the village, and a few crows fluttered across the courtyard.

I went back to the house with Fat Fruit, and everyone was silent.

"This is incredible, how can this old woman's ears really shine?" The fat man wondered.

"It's not this that I care about, I wonder who the pock-faced boy I saw when I entered the hospital?"

"Delusion?" Huo Xinlan said.

The sound of the old woman's crutches on the ground was very clear in the silent night, "click, click, click...", every sound seemed to be on a person's heart, and the whole body was covered with hairy sweat.

"The old woman seemed to be pacing back and forth in the living room."

"Is she sick on the death day this big night?"

"She's not sick."

The old woman muttered in a gloomy voice: "Old man, you are here, I have been waiting for you for ten years, ouch, Sun Wazi, you are also here, and my mother-in-law still keeps the cotton clothes for you...... Yes? What did you say? I can't hear clearly? Oh, I see, you want a daughter-in-law. In a few days, my mother-in-law will give you a female medium, and see which girl's girl died, so that I can tell you a female medium. ”

"It's a yin marriage again, and Dolma was almost killed by this feudal superstition at that time." My heart went up and down.

The old woman hummed a strange old tune from the mountain village: "Little mother-in-law, play sharp, red rope, knot...... My aunt wears a cotton jacket at home, what a cotton jacket, a black cotton jacket ......"

After struggling until the early morning, we hurriedly left the hospital.

Yesterday, it was stormy, and I didn't see the whole picture of the village when I broke into the village. The village is a bit old, with dozens of homes scattered on the hillside. Not far away, an old man squatted in front of the door and smoked a dry cigarette.

The old man was haggard and sallow, and he smoked without raising his head.

"You said this wouldn't be a ghost village, would you?" Huo Xinlan on the side was already a little nervous after a night of torture.

"Then you haven't been in Mawanggou, the situation here is much better than Mawanggou, the people in Mawanggou are all perverted and cruel, you may even have nightmares when you sleep!"

Huo Xinlan glared at me, eager to tear me apart, "You don't bluff me." ”

After a while, the old man sat up and walked in, when the wooden doors of several houses next to him creaked open, and five or six strong men came out.

Those men looked ugly, had strange figures, their clothes seemed to have not been washed for decades, their faces were dirty, they were either hunchback or crappy, their eyes were staring at us, and after a few glances, they stared at Cheng Yiyun and Huo Xinlan, their eyes were shining, as if they had never seen a woman.

"What's the situation with these people, why are they so obscene!" The fat man came in and said.

I deliberately blocked the obscene gazes of those people, but those men had strange eyes and whispered.

"This place is similar to Mawanggou, the young women have fled, and the rest are men, and there will not be a woman in this place for a few years, and these men naturally look straight."

The village is muddy and watery, the sky is still overcast, and the rolling plateau hills in the distance, the snow peaks and mist are surrounded by clouds.

"Could it be another Mawanggou here?" Although the situation here is very similar to that of Mawanggou, I still have a faint feeling that something is wrong.

"Is it terrain? Mawanggou is in the middle of a dense forest, inaccessible and easy to hide, and this village is by the lake, surrounded by mountains, the terrain is narrow and cramped, but it has not been completely isolated from the outside world. I muttered to myself, "However, the people here are very strange, the village is full of old and sick people, these men are also disabled, and the grandson who is already dead, what is the problem?" ”

Those men peeped at Cheng Yiyun and Huo Xinlan from time to time. One of the men took out his nose, stared at Cheng Yiyun with squinted eyes, and laughed obscenely.

Cheng Yiyun naturally didn't look at them, in my opinion, if I hadn't stopped them, these people might have been a few dead people at this time.

Or, in her eyes, he is already dead.

However, Huo Xinlan was really a little scared, but the more she was afraid, the more satisfied these people seemed to be.

Although the fat man does not deal with Huo Xinlan, he is also a hot-blooded man, and his heart to protect flowers will naturally not be less, and he is not angry when he sees these mountain men so vulgar. Then they posted it, and when those men saw the burly fat man, they were naturally jealous, but the people in this poor land were not frightened, and they each pulled out a sharp knife from their waists.

Several men glared at the fat man.

The fat man said disdainfully: "You guys, don't you want to live!" Dare to play with the fat man, who gave you the guts? Where does the confidence come from? Tired of being crooked, isn't it? ”

As soon as he opened his voice like this, those men became interested, perhaps because they saw that there were many of us and didn't dare to take risks, they glared at him angrily, reluctantly glanced at Cheng Yiyun and Huo Xinlan a few times, and left gloomily.

We walked all the way and left the village.

Along the way, the lake is blue and clean, like a magnificent gem inlaid on the mysterious plateau, the distant mountain snow peaks are undulating, like a ring of white Hada, and herds of Tibetan antelopes, yellow sheep, yaks, and wild asses enjoy the fat water and grass to the fullest.

The eagle hovers between the clouds and the sky, like a guardian spirit in the highland sky.

After walking for a while, sparse houses appeared in front of me, as if I had arrived in a town.

But as we approached the town, we were all amazed at the sight of everything that seemed familiar: scattered old cottages scattered at the foot of barren hills, and the whole village of disabled and elderly people......

"We're back again?!" I felt dizzy, "How can this be?" ”

"We're going all the way north, how can we come back around?"

I stood at the head of the village in a state of confusion, and saw that it was about to get dark.

"How could it be wrong? Could it be that the compass is broken? Huo Xinlan was stunned.

"I've taken out my compass to look at it when I'm on my way, unless even my compass is broken." I took the compass in my hand and frowned.

At this time, a lame middle-aged man popped out of the village, his hair was as long as a chicken nest, dressed in tattered cotton clothes, barefoot, and his feet were covered with mud. The man limped over, his face was full of wrinkles, he looked very old, the wrinkles were stuffed with dirt, a mouthful of yellow teeth, and his dirty eyes were staring at Cheng Yiyun.

"Enter the village! The girl is in the village! The girl married to the village! The man suddenly screamed excitedly, rushed all the way into the village, and shouted, "Girl, enter the village!" The girl married to the village! The girl went into the village......"

"This place doesn't seem that simple." Cheng Yiyun said with a cold expression, "There must be a magnetic mine nearby, and the reserves are not small, otherwise our compass will not fail." ”

"You mean the location of this village was deliberate?" I turned my head to look at Cheng Yiyun, and I read a message from her eyes.

In the nearest courtyard, the wooden door was open, and several people came out of it, carrying stretchers, and a long piece of black cloth covered with something.

The old man who smoked dry cigarettes, and the lewd men who had just peeked at Cheng Yiyun and Huo Xinlan...... They all stood in front of the old courtyard, muttering to each other.

Look closely, that courtyard is the place where you rested last night, and the person lying on the stretcher should be the old woman. The black cloth covered the stretcher, revealing a withered and stiff white hand, which held a green belt, which was the longevity belt of the shroud that the old woman wore before she died.

Also, last night's pair of red embroidered shoes.

It's like being dyed red by blood donations.

She ...... He's dead? The fat man was surprised.

I didn't say a word.

The situation changed so fast that I was a little confused.

The onlookers were full of discussions: "Why did you hang yourself?" ”

"Alas, Mrs. Li has been guarding her spirit for most of her life, why can't she think about hanging herself?"

"O ...... of iniquity"

Huo Xinlan pulled the corner of my clothes and said, "What's wrong with you, but you are talking." ”

"We may have chosen the wrong direction!"

"What? In what direction? ”
