Chapter Twenty-Seven: A Way Out Is Hard to Find

The words of a middle-aged woman are tantamount to a bolt from the blue for me and Li Hai, and they are the kind of heavenly spirit cover that is in the middle of the sky.

Just when my scalp was like an ant gnawing, Li Hai's face had turned as pale as his face, as if someone had drained all the blood from his body.

He stood there trembling, and beads of sweat oozed from his forehead.

The previous look of not being afraid of heaven and earth had long since disappeared, and only a pair of extremely frightened eyes looked at the middle-aged woman in disbelief.

As the old saying goes, hearing is false, seeing is believing, even Li Hai, who no longer believes in ghosts and gods, is still frightened when he hears the words of the middle-aged woman, because what we just experienced is really impossible to explain with common sense.

The old lady carrying the vegetable basket entered the courtyard under our noses, but now the middle-aged woman tells us that the courtyard has been abandoned for more than ten years.

In this way, the old lady we saw just now should be the ghost of the owner who died more than ten years ago, this is not a dirty thing, what else can it be?

"Now it's dark, you should leave quickly, the residents in this alley will close as long as it gets dark, and you will ...... then."

Before the middle-aged woman finished speaking, a man's shout suddenly came from the courtyard: "You old lady threw garbage so ink, don't you see that it's dark, hurry up and close the door and go home!" ”

In the face of the man's shouting, the middle-aged woman did not continue, turned around and returned to the courtyard and closed the door of the house.

As the courtyard door closed, a noisy closing sound began to be heard in the alley behind him.

When I heard the sound and looked back, the narrow alley had become extremely dark at the moment, and there was no light at all.

The dark and narrow alley is like a monster's abyssal mouth, waiting for me and Li Hai to enter it.

I stood there for a moment, a little overwhelmed, and then Li Hai asked in a trembling voice, "You...... Do you think there is anything unclean in this world? ”

"Didn't you see it just now, and now you're asking me what I'm doing, don't stand stupidly, run away!"

A shout made Li Hai, who had no master of the six gods, suddenly come back to his senses, and then followed me and ran quickly towards the mouth of the alley.

Li Hai was fat, and after running for about five or six minutes, he couldn't run at all.

Seeing him standing in place with his hands pinching his waist and panting, I hurriedly retreated to his side and supported him, panting and saying, "Don't ...... Don't stop, that'...... The old lady's basket must have ...... It must be human flesh, hurry up...... Hurry up and run, or ...... Otherwise, the two of us will ...... It's ruined here! ”

After speaking, I put my arm around Li Hai's waist with one hand and grabbed his arm with the other hand and walked briskly towards the mouth of the alley, about ten minutes later, Li Hai had completely lost his strength, he sat on the ground and waved his hand at me, panting and said: "No...... If you don't run, it's really ...... I really can't run, this ...... Why is this alley so ......? It's been so long, we haven't been walking for more than ten minutes...... Haven't walked out yet......"

I didn't notice this problem before, but now Li Hai mentions this matter, I think it's really a little weird, I remember that when we entered this alley in the afternoon, it only took us ten minutes to reach the end, but now it's been nearly twenty minutes to run and walk faster, but the alley in front of me is still dark, and I can't see where the entrance is.

Looking at the dark alley in front of him, a cold feeling enveloped his whole body, according to common sense, we should have run out of the alley for so long, how could we not even see the entrance.

Surprised, I took out my mobile phone from my pocket and turned on the flashlight, and immediately shone it in the direction of the courtyard door.

It's good not to look at it, but I was almost scared to pee when I saw it, and the aluminum door number on the top of the courtyard gate was actually printed with the words 360.

There are only 364 courtyards in this alley, and it is impossible for us to be in the same place after running for 20 minutes!

"Ahh

Just when my heart was trembling, I suddenly heard Li Hai's exclamation, and I turned my head to look at Li Hai and asked him what was wrong.

Li Hai raised his trembling arm and pointed back, and said with a panicked face: "Let's ...... We've been running for so long...... How can this wall be restored...... Still here! ”

When I heard this, I immediately looked back, and sure enough, the wall at the end of the alley was behind us, only five or six meters away from us!

This sudden change made me completely confused, why are we still here after running for so long, could it be that we are trapped?

"It looks like we've really encountered something unclean, I'll call the police now, don't worry, we'll be fine."

Although I was terrified in my heart, I could only pretend to be calm at this time, and people like Li Hai who said that they did not believe in ghosts and gods were often the most afraid, because this had subverted his worldview.

So what I'm going to do now is try to calm him down, because if he goes on like this, he's going to do something drastic, and then he's going to be in trouble.

As I spoke, I took out my phone from my pocket and called the police, but what I didn't expect was that the phone couldn't get through, and it was always busy.

I've been like this all the time after a few hits, and it makes me wonder.

How could there be a busy sound on the police call, I glanced at the phone screen in confusion, and suddenly found that the signal grid in the upper right corner of the phone was empty, and there was no signal in this alley!

"Lao Li, my mobile phone has no signal, you hurry up and look at your mobile phone!" I looked at Li Hai, who was slumped on the ground, and urged.

Li Hai immediately took out his mobile phone when he heard this, but his mobile phone had no signal.

"How can this be, I used my mobile phone to check the news not long ago, why is there no signal now?" Li Hai tapped his phone as he spoke.

"Don't waste your efforts, it must be the old lady who did it, she doesn't want us to get out of here." I looked at Li Hai and said.

"What? What the hell is the old lady doing? We have no grievances with her, why doesn't she let us leave here? Li Hai put away his phone and stood up and asked.

"I'm not a fairy, how can I know what she wants to do, but if we want to get out of here now, I'm afraid that the only one who can help us is that old lady, I think we need to meet her, otherwise we'll probably have to stay here tonight."

Although I don't dare or be unwilling, I have no other way, the predicament that Li Hai and I encounter now must be caused by that old lady, if I don't figure this matter out, Li Hai and I are likely to be trapped in the hat brim alley for the rest of our lives.

Tonight is my deadline, and I may die after twelve o'clock, but Li Hai is different, he shouldn't have been involved, and the reason why he came here with me was because of brotherly righteousness.

Now that I am implicated and trapped in it, if I don't help him find a way to get out, am I still a person?

"You're going to find the old lady again? Are you scared silly! That old lady is a dirty thing, aren't you looking for her now, you can't go! ”

After resting for a while, Li Hai regained some strength and stopped me in front of me to prevent me from going to the old lady.

"If you look for her, maybe there is still a glimmer of life, but if you don't look for the two of us, you may be trapped and die here, let me tell you the truth, I won't live long, if I can't find Qin Wenhua, maybe I'll die tonight, but you're different, you're still young, and there are still a lot of things to do for you, so you can't die, I've already thought about it, I'll go see the old lady myself in a while, if I can come out alive, it means that we can still be saved, if I can't get out......"

Speaking of this, I was already a little choked, I raised my hand and patted Li Hai's shoulder, endured the grief in my heart and continued: "If I can't get out, you can find a way to survive by yourself, if you can survive, help me take care of my parents more, they are old, you can help me do my filial piety, I beg you here." ”

Li Hai was stunned by what I said, he looked at me with wide eyes, and wondered: "What the hell are you talking about, why can you only live until tonight, is your kid suffering from any terminal illness, I can tell you, your own parents are filial piety, I don't have to worry about this, so you have to give me a good life!" ”

Seeing that Li Hai was puzzled, I didn't continue to explain, so I pushed him away while he wasn't paying attention, and then quickly rushed to the old lady's courtyard gate, raised his fist and smashed it down towards the courtyard door.

After a few bangs, the courtyard door opened by itself, and the moment the courtyard door opened, a yin wind came from it, which made me shudder.

I looked into the courtyard by the moonlight overhead, and it was pitch black, and the wind rustled the weeds, but there was not a single figure in sight.

"Grandma, my name is Chen Mo, I don't know where I offended you today, I hope you will be magnanimous and let the two of us live, and the two of us promise never to come here to disturb you again in the future!" I shouted at the dark courtyard.

The sound fell to the ground like a stone sinking into the sea, and there was no response.

At this time, Li Hai behind me was so frightened that he retreated to the base of the wall, and he kept waving his hand at me, telling me to hurry back and not die here.

I was just about to respond when something hit my foot, and I looked down at the surface of my foot to see a white ball rolling to my side.

I had time to pick it up when I saw the ball rolling down, when I heard a childish voice in front of me: "Uncle, my ball has fallen, can you help me pick it up?" ”

I subconsciously looked up, but I collapsed to the ground in fright, and a headless corpse was standing in front of me, reaching out his hands to ask me for the ball.

"Head! Head ......"

Before I could come back to my senses, Li Hai's voice suddenly exploded in my ears, and when I looked back, Li Hai had already fainted with fright.

"Lao Li! Lao Li, wake up! ”

Seeing Li Hai faint, I was shocked, and I didn't have time to get up directly to get up and help.

But what I didn't expect was that as soon as I turned around, my arm was grabbed by two hands, and I looked back to see that it was the headless corpse that grabbed my hand!

"Uncle, don't go yet, help me pick up the head."
