The village is located at the foot of a hill and is not very large, and you can see the whole picture from the slope.

Under the dark sky, Ji Que walked down the hillside, and along the way, only the sound of footsteps stepping on the ground was extremely deserted.

On both sides of the road are half-human-tall grass trees, which sway from side to side when the wind blows, and looks like ghosts.

These days, Ji Que has taken too many similar paths.

He had always been interested in the long-growing filthy thing he encountered in the deserted temple that night, but unfortunately he couldn't leave the other party to study it.

He really didn't think about chasing and killing the other party.

People are naturally afraid of the unknown, and Ji Que is no exception.

He is different from ordinary people, he has suffered too much bad luck, and his nerves are much bigger than ordinary people.

But even so, he was still a little afraid of the dirty thing with his arms like pythons.

Curious and afraid, this is the same mentality as when I was a child, but I couldn't help but want to watch ghost movies.

I saw that under the dim sky, the village was almost there.

There were a few average-growing fruit trees outside the village, with some fruits hanging on them, and Ji Que didn't dare to try them easily.

Along the way, it's not that he hasn't eaten wild fruits, but almost every bite has worms, can you believe it?

I can only say that the luck is really "good".

It can be seen that this village is relatively poor, and even if it is dark, there are still no people who hold the lamp.

As soon as Ji Que walked to the entrance of the village, he was surprised to find that there were dead people in the village.

The big tree in the middle of the village is only two or three hundred steps away, and there are four families hanging white banners in front of their homes, and the dim environment looks ghostly.

At this time, everything was quiet, and every house was dark, and there was not even a dog barking.

The whole village looks like a huge tomb.

Ji Que carried a book on his back, looked at the ground full of mud puddles, and wanted to find a family to spend the night, but he really didn't know where to start for a while.

The village doesn't look very hospitable.

At this time, a little fire lit up in the village.

Someone lights up?

Lighting the lamp means that someone hasn't slept.

Ji Que raised his steps and walked towards the lamp.

He soon discovered that although the house was old, it was neatly repaired, and it should be a big family here.

Ji Que thought about it, but still knocked on the old wooden door.

After a while, a woman's voice came from inside the door - "Who?" ”。

Ji Que immediately said: "I'm sorry, I'm a passing scholar who got lost in the mountains and wanted to spend the night in your place." ”

"Really a serious scholar?"

"Seriously, sure." Ji Que replied seriously.

For some reason, he always felt that the women in the room seemed to be quite nervous.

After a while, a crack appeared in the wooden door, and the woman inside looked carefully for a while, presumably after making sure that he looked handsome and serious, and then squeaked open the door.

This was a woman about thirty years old.

The woman glanced at Ji Que cautiously and said, "This son, I really forgive me, there are few outsiders in our Linjia Village, and it's a big night, so we have to be cautious." ”

"It's a nuisance." Ji Que was very grateful.

After a few brief exchanges, Ji Que knew that he was really good at finding a place.

This turned out to be the village chief's house, no wonder it looked richer.

During this period, the woman, who called herself "Third Sister Lin", would glance at the inner room from time to time, her eyes were worried, and she didn't know why.

After that, the woman lent Ji Que an empty room and closed the door.

This tiled house is said to be the guest room of the village chief Lin's house, but it is actually half a firewood room, in addition to a bed, there is also a lot of firewood in the house.

However, it would be nice to have a house sheltered from the wind in this poor place, and there is a stove and an iron pot under the eaves outside, which can cook and eat, which is a great plus in this cold day.

Ji Que quickly lit the fire and cooked the salted meat.

The salted meat is dried with salt, which can be stored for a long time without deterioration, and can be boiled to eat soup, which is very suitable for carrying out.

As the water in the pot boiled, a burst of meaty aroma wafted out.

Ji Que tore the salted meat apart, put some dried seaweed in the pot, and a pot of seaweed broth was formed.

Ji Que ate and drank a pot of hot seaweed broth, and in this cold weather, he only felt that his body was warm and very useful.

Now that the true qi in his body is becoming more and more condensed, it stands to reason that it is not much of a problem not to eat for ten days, but this person is just greedy.

Don't eat and panic.

In addition, he has walked a lot today, and he has long been hungry on a psychological level, so this simple bowl of salted meat soup only feels delicious.

On the way to the soup, the lights in the village chief's house had been extinguished.

In this world, most people follow the sunrise and sunset routine, and rarely stay up late.

The so-called "full of warm thoughts**", after drinking two bowls of soup and eating a few pieces of meat, Ji Que began to think about sleeping.

He cleaned up and lay down on the plank bed.

This hard wooden bed is lying like this, and he can't help but miss Li Sankai's coffin.

Ji Que couldn't sleep a little, so he simply took out Tang Yi's recliner and lay down.

Lying down, the previous discomfort disappeared.

Every time he lies on this recliner in the shape of a Tang Yi, Ji Que can't help but think of this friend.

I remembered how he looked when he was snickering, lazy, and falling asleep after drinking.

Thinking about it, Ji Que smiled, and when he smiled, he became vigilant.

I'm not right!

.......

.......

Ji Que lay down for a while, and soon his eyelids fought.

Thinking that he was more unlucky, he endured sleepiness and closed the door of the house, and then lay down on the chair and fell asleep.

The night was deeper, and at this time, Lin Sanjie, who had already turned off the oil lamp, did not fall asleep, because her mother got up.

Lin Sanjie's mother doesn't look at a female stream, but her prestige in the village is very high.

Since the death of her wife, she has taken over the position of her wife's village head, which has been more than ten years.

At this time, Village Chief Lin got up from the bed and came to the hall.

Under the miserable white moonlight, her whole person looked a little fat, especially the position of her chin, where layers of fat were piled together, forming a lot of fat folds, which looked a little disgusting.

Of course, the most striking thing is the shoes on her feet.

Such a plainly dressed old woman, but on her feet was wearing a pair of embroidered shoes that were as bright as blood.

The embroidered shoes are so new that they never seem to get dusty, so they are particularly eye-catching.

Such a beautiful pair of shoes is an extremely terrifying existence in the eyes of Lin Sanjie.

Yes, since my mother picked up the shoes, her temperament has begun to change very strangely.

The change was not only in the growing grease in her chin, but also in the way she looked at night.

The kind of appearance that wears embroidered shoes and has terrifyingly empty eyes doesn't look like a human being.

Third Sister Lin covered her mouth and nested in the quilt, tears streaming down her face.

She knew that her mother was sick, but she didn't know when it would get better.

She wanted to throw away her mother's shoes, but she didn't dare.

Because in recent times, the mother has become more and more strange.

At this time, Village Chief Lin wore brightly embroidered shoes and went to the kitchen.

There was a kitchen knife in the kitchen which was sharp.

Third Sister Lin obviously hid the knife in a very secret location, but her mother still found it.

At this time, Ji Que was lying on the recliner and snoring, sleeping soundly.

He seems to have dreamed of Tang Yi.

The other party seems to have fried beef tenderloin and egg fried rice again......

It smells so good!
