"Let's go."

Lou Zhi's suppressed emotions interrupted me.

His bony hand was taken out of his trouser pocket and grasped my right hand with precision, and it also froze my last trembling.

"So scared?" He lowered his head, his eyes blinked slightly, and his fingers scraped in my palm, "It's all sweat." ”

"I-"

I opened my mouth, but finally just pursed my lips and nodded.

met the weird and wrong Jiang Si'er, and then met the person who had died a long time ago, and still saw a black shadow similar to a monster in the dark and narrow alley.

Can you not be afraid?

But fortunately, he was the last person to meet.

All fear, knowing that it was him, disappeared.

"Let's go."

He looked at me deeply, didn't say anything more, his right hand suddenly raised in the dark night, and with a bang, a red umbrella appeared in his hand and opened.

He held the umbrella, held my hand, raised his eyebrows, and motioned for Lin Yu to leave.

Lin Yu carried Jiang Si'er on his shoulders, carried the lotus lantern in one hand, and led us in front.

In that dark night, the original depth and coldness seemed to be diluted a lot at that moment.

I had always been aware of something around me, but at the moment, they didn't dare to come closer, and they were all crowded in the alley behind me.

I turned my head back to see what it was, but the red umbrella suddenly lowered and obscured my vision.

"Look back less."

Lou Zhi's voice was always emotionless, but his deliberate movements were preventing me from discovering something.

I didn't look back, but I still whispered, "I saw Mrs. Wang and her son, and other people who had died long ago in that alley. Lou Zhi, can you tell me, what is this place, what the hell is it? Why is it so strange tonight? ”

"No return." His lips moved slightly, "Don't return, don't return, it's for the sake of death." ”

After a pause, as if afraid that I didn't understand, he added, "That's the Huangquan Road of the deceased." ”

I frowned.

Sure enough, it is no coincidence that I met someone from the Wang family here.

The dead will go to hell, and the first thing they have to cross is Huangquan Road.

I looked down at the ground, looked at the ground behind my feet, and found that the original stone brick floor, at some point, was covered with red flowers one after another.

Flowers on the other side.

Manju Sahua.

They swayed in the darkness of the night and spread all over the place.

But it always falls one step behind our feet.

It's like a ghost catching up, resisted by something unseen, unable to get close.

But I could feel that there were countless eyes staring at us all the time.

Until we crossed that little bridge.

The uncomfortable feeling is gone.

Lou Zhi and Lin Yu didn't speak, the two of them walked one after the other, and I don't know how long I walked in the dark, I saw the dazzling street lights in front of me.

"Here we are."

Lin Yu stood at the door of the hotel, hung the lotus lantern on the side of the door, pushed the door open and entered.

He put Jiang Si'er in the room, said that she was fine, she would wake up after sleeping, and told me to take a bath.

"What the hell is wrong with Silky?"

I couldn't help but ask.

"Because—"

"Lost."

Lou Zhi's undulating voice interrupted Lin Yu's explanation.

I was even more confused, "What lost?" ”

Lou Zhi pursed his lips, as if he didn't want to answer.

Lin Yu kindly explained, "You can wait for her to wake up and ask her what bets she made." ”

He didn't pick it out, but I vaguely noticed that it might have something to do with Jiang Si'er and that kid's trap last night.

"Isn't that the kid?"

"Rest early, when the day is dawn, you take the lotus lantern at the door, go out and walk east, don't look back, leave this place as soon as possible."

Lin Yu didn't give me a definite answer, and when it came to this, I could only agree.

"Thank you very much tonight."

"You're welcome."

The two left back and forth, and I didn't dare to go too far away from Jiang Si'er, so I went back to the room to pack my things and slept in Jiang Si'er's room.

As soon as it was dawn the next day, I followed what Lin Yu said last night, pulling Jiang Si'er to leave.

Out of the door of the inn, the lotus lamp was still lit, and the wind was blowing, but it was not extinguished.

I took it off and walked out of the hotel door.

It was bright outside, the sun was a little dazzling, but I didn't feel the heat.

"Xiao Tan, do you need to leave in such a hurry? I haven't eaten breakfast yet! ”

Jiang Si'er yawned, she didn't know anything about last night, she only said that she was a little tired.

I said firmly, "Go to the car and eat again, go." ”

"What the hell is wrong with you! Suddenly in a hurry to leave, could it be the one who called Lou Zhi who wants to do you badly? As soon as she talked about gossip, her spirit came up, "I see that there seems to be something wrong with the way he looks at you today." Did you take advantage of what happened last night when I wasn't looking? ”

"You're thinking too much."

"Then why are you in such a hurry to leave?" Jiang Si'er pouted, her face full of reluctance, the heels of her leather shoes stepped on the ground, and she made a crisp sound, "I haven't played enough!" Why don't we stay for a few more days? Anyway, it's okay to go back! ”

"You have to like the ancient town, we can come again next time, but not today, we have to go."

"Do you have to give a reason?"

When she mentioned this, I slowed down a bit, frowned and asked, "What bet did you make with that little boy that night and lost?" ”

At that time, I left for a trip, and when I came back, I didn't see the little boy, I only heard Jiang Si'er say that she was defeated, this kind of thing, I don't think it's strange, if it weren't for Lin Yu's reminder last night, I wouldn't have asked.

"It's nothing! He said, I want to play again, and if I still lose, I will agree to his request. ”

"Didn't say what the specific requirements were?"

"Nope."

When she said this, I was also half relieved, after all, they hadn't played again, so that bet shouldn't have existed.

But before he could say the words of comfort, he saw Jiang Si'er scratching her face and said unhurriedly, "Last night, we played again, and I lost again, but before I could ask him what he wanted, he was gone." ”

"Last night?"

I stopped and looked back at her in amazement.

"That's right. We were ringing together again last night, aren't you too? ”

Jiang Si'er said yes.

I frowned and didn't speak.

She behaved strangely last night, it was Lou Zhi who brought her back, if it weren't for Lou Zhi, she might have really walked the path called the Road of No Return.

Even though I didn't see the boy again, I could guess that he was probably not human.

He wants to take Jiang Si'er away, so this place can't be kept.

"Let's go, get out of here at once. You stop talking nonsense, go! ”

Seeing that my attitude suddenly cooled down, Jiang Si'er also softened, did not protest again, and took the initiative to carry my suitcase for me, saying something else, wanting to ease my mood.

And all my attention, is ahead.

I just want to get out of here.

The entrance, as it was when we entered, was empty.

But my heart was beating faster.

The closer to the exit, the fainter the candle flame on the lotus lantern became.

There was no wind, but it was blown as if it was going out.

I couldn't see it, but I felt it very clearly.

Something is approaching around.

Same as last night.

"Sisi, let's go."

I gritted my teeth and almost half-walked to the gate.

Behind him was the sound of Jiang Si'er pushing the wheels of the suitcase, but the sound suddenly stopped with Jiang Si'er's words.

"Xiao Tan, is this the name of the place we came from?"

She stretched out her hand and pointed to the big name of the town at the entrance.

I followed the finger and looked, and on the left side of the two words, a soil, an anti-dog and a word suddenly appeared.

Scattered above the stone wall, and the original word "dog" forms a new font.
