But the old man didn't seem to hear it, he still looked at us quietly, and Qian Xiaozhen and I had to wait patiently here

After a while, the old man finally walked towards us tremblingly with a broom in his hand

He opened the wooden door with his big rough hand, in fact, I could have climbed over it, but after all, this is the territory of other people, and I can't make trouble

The old man first opened the door a little bit, looked at us, and then slowly opened the door

That's when I really saw the whole face of the old man

He may be older than my second uncle, and his white hair is almost as long as a woman's hair, and the whole person is also skinny, without any energy, and even his eyes have become cloudy

It may be that the old man didn't look like the two of us were bad people, so he sighed, pointed to the courtyard, and motioned for us to go in

When Qian Xiaozhen and I entered the courtyard, the old man carefully closed the door

We followed the old man into his little mud house

It's not as dirty as I imagined, but it's very simple, and even has a strong antique smell

The entrance was a hall, and there was very little except a wooden table and wooden chairs with unlit oil lamps on the table

The old man asked us to sit down, and then he took a pen and began to write on his own

I didn't expect this old man to write in Chinese, and the handwriting is very beautiful

Although I don't know the meaning of the word, I should be able to translate it with my high school education

After a while, the old man handed me the paper

I looked at it for a while, and then said to Qian Xiaozhen, who had not spoken

"This old man may be asking us what we are doing here, asking what our names are."

Seeing that the old man nodded after I finished translating, it should mean that I translated correctly

"Tell me the truth" Qian Xiaozhen stared at the old man for a long time, probably because he couldn't understand it

"My name is Lin Yao, and his name is Qian Xiaozhen"

"We're here to find the secret that you don't speak."

Unexpectedly, this old man seemed to have great doubts and anger about the purpose of our coming, but it was also in a blink of an eye

Then he held the pen and thought for a moment before writing down a line

I took the paper, read it and said

"He seems to mean that you can stay here for a few days, but don't ask about anything else."

I believe that Qian Xiaozhen understands, and the implication of this is to tell us not to ask around

Then I said "OK" to the old man

The old man seemed very pleased with the answer, and pointed to a room behind me, and then wrote on a piece of paper in ancient Chinese

"You can live in that room."

After reading the words, I just wanted to thank the old man, but I found that the old man had returned to his room and locked the door

I had no choice but to go into the house with Qian Xiaozhen to prepare for a rest

As soon as I walked into the room, I asked about the pungent smell of herbs, but it didn't take long for me to get used to it

There was only one kettle full of water, a table, and two chairs

"The people in this village really don't speak," I said as I took off my coat

"Let's take a look tomorrow, don't worry"

In this way, Qian Xiaozhen and I spent the first night in this mysterious village at the old man's house where he was staying

The next day, I woke up early when I heard the rooster crowing, and when I saw that Qian Xiaozhen hadn't woken up yet, I didn't bother him, so I decided to go out for a walk first

When I walked out of the room, I found that two bowls of white rice porridge and a small plate of radish pickles had already been placed on the table, and the old man had left a piece of paper

It reads, "Let's leave after breakfast."

I was a little puzzled and thought, "This old man didn't let us stay here yesterday, why did he drive us away today?"

I took out my phone and looked at it, it was 3:30 in the morning, and I just wanted to turn it off, but I found that my phone had lost the slightest signal

No wonder it's isolated from the world, and it's not isolated from the world

The reason for the isolation is that there is no signal, there seems to be no electricity, and few people come

Not isolated from the rest of the world because it's not far from the city and it's not very hidden

I was thinking that Qian Xiaozhen was already up

He said to me sleepily, and I called him over, showed him the handwriting, and explained it to him

"There must be something wrong with this village!"

Qian Xiaozhen said with certainty, I am the same, from the moment I entered the village, I found that this place was shrouded in darkness

Qian Xiaozhen saw that the old man left a simple breakfast, and he was not polite, so he picked up the bowl and drank it slowly

I'm also a little hungry, and I can't care if there is a problem in the meal, anyway, I'll fill my stomach first

After eating, we packed our things and prepared to go out for a walk

When I got to the street, it was still the same as last night, there was no one, could it be that it was still early?

The sun had risen as usual, and there was an inexplicable feeling of comfort on my face with a gentle breeze

Qian Xiaozhen and I walked aimlessly on the street, and after a short walk, we found that this village is not big, there are more than 100 households, and this village is surrounded by mountains on three sides

As I walked, I suddenly heard the sound of gongs and drums in front of me, and Qian Xiaozhen followed my gaze to a hillside

Qian Xiaozhen and I looked at each other, and both of us walked up the hill in unison

Halfway through, I got a glimpse of the scene ahead

A group of people knelt on the ground, two large drums on either side, and four young men were beating the drums vigorously

I walked further on, and finally I saw the whole scene, and it turned out that the gang was kneeling in front of a ruined temple

There was also a large stove in front of the group with three incense sticks on it

I looked inside the temple, and it was empty, except for a huge ding

"They bow down to this?"

Qian Xiaozhen raised his question, and it was difficult for me to understand why this group of villagers worshiped in front of an empty ding, and they all looked very promising

I looked at the young people beating the drums on either side, and they saw me too

They fixed the sticks they were waving, and took out their knives from behind their backs

"Damn, what's going on?"

I was suddenly stunned and woke up suddenly, turned around and pulled Qian Xiaozhen to run

I turned my head again to see if a group of young men were chasing after me with firewood knives

"I just looked at the Buddha statue, and suddenly I wanted to enter nothingness, and I was controlled by death..."

It turns out that this is the case, no wonder Qian Xiaozhen was stunned for a long time just now

"So now, do you want to fight" As soon as I finished asking, I was stopped by several men in front of me

Now it's not okay if you don't fight!

I also watched Qian Xiaozhen take out a weapon for the first time, it turned out to be two short swords, Cheng Silver, which were very dazzling in the sun

"Breakthrough, don't fall in love"

After Qian Xiaozhen finished speaking, he took the lead in going forward, and I also took out a dagger to keep up with him
