Su Liu's hometown lives in a remote village, because the people there live by buying and selling medicinal materials in the mountains all the year round, so it is also called the elixir village, saying that it is an elixir, in fact, most of the medicinal materials in the mountains are some extremely common Chinese medicinal materials, although these medicines can not buy much money, but for people living in remote villages, it is enough for them to live.

Sitting on the shuttle, Su Liu asked intentionally or unintentionally, "Grandma, are they still unwilling to move out?" ”

At this question, my father began to sigh uncontrollably, "Hey, I have also asked the two elders many times, and they said that they are not used to life in the city and they are unwilling to move out. ”

Like the vast majority of elderly people in the countryside, Su Liu's grandparents have been accustomed to the life of sunrise and sunset in the countryside, and if they live in the city, they should be idle and unaccustomed to it. Why are you not used to it? But after coming into contact with Wang Lao, he realized that maybe some old people will only be idle when they lose interest in life, but this leisure will be idle until the end of their lives......

The road to grandma's house is extraordinarily long, along the way Su Liu has been watching the plains become hills, and the hills have become mountains, after nearly ten hours of driving, the family finally came to Bianyang County, because the shuttle bus can only reach here at the farthest, so the family got off in Bianyang County.

Walking towards the street, Su Liu looked around with nostalgia, not much has changed, although this small county town located on the border is not big, it is filled with most of Su Liu's childhood memories, Su Liu's childhood memories are composed of two parts, half is Bianyang County, and the other half is Elixir Village.

He still remembers that when he lived with his grandparents in Elixir Village when he was a child, his biggest wish was to go to Bianyang County to play, for his childhood self, Bianyang County was like a candy house in a fairy tale, interesting and charming.

At that time, my favorite was those kiosks, which were always full of delicious snacks and fun toys, and my grandparents always rarely went to Bianyang County, but every time I went, I would bring myself and buy delicious snacks for myself, so going to Bianyang County became the biggest fun for me when I was a child.

"It really hasn't changed at all." This is how Su Liu and his parents felt after walking around Bianyang County.

The father also looked into the distance unconsciously, "Yes, it hasn't changed at all." ”

"Hey! Where are you going? If you don't leave, you won't have a car! ”

The three of them thought the voice was calling someone else, until the voice rang out again, "Hey! Where are you going? If you don't leave, you won't have a car! ”

The three of them turned around and saw a van parked behind them, and a middle-aged man with a scruffy beard in the car was sticking out his head to greet him.

"To the Elixir Village?" Dad asked.

But when the driver heard the three words of Elixir Village, he was shocked, put his head back into the car window, stepped on the accelerator and was about to leave, and his father hurriedly chased after him and shouted, "Hey! Don't leave! We add money! ”

The car stopped suddenly, and the driver poked his head out of the window again, "Plus a hundred." ”

"Plus a hundred? Why don't you go and eat people! Let's go, we're not going! ”

At this time, my mother stepped forward and patted my father's shoulder, "I see that there are no cars around, add 100 to 100, every day is our mother's 80th birthday, we can't be absent." ”

In fact, the father could only nod helplessly, and then shouted again at the driver who was about to leave: "Add a hundred!" Let's add a hundred! Stop it! ”

The car stopped after hearing his father's words, and as soon as he got into the car, the driver asked his father for money.

"Ten dollars for one person, plus one hundred dollars, is a total of one hundred and thirty dollars."

After all, the car belongs to someone else, and when someone else gives the money, others have the final say, and his father can only give him the money.

After driving for a while, the driver chatted with the three of them familiarly.

"There are few drivers who dare to pick up these guests in the Elixir Village now, if I dare to take you there, even if I change to another driver, even if I add five hundred yuan to him, I may not take you there."

Su Wei felt that he was making excuses for his price increase, so he asked, "Why don't the drivers dare to pick up customers from the Elixir Village?" ”

The driver turned his head and looked at the three of them as if admonishing, "You're from out of town, aren't you?" This elixir village has been haunted lately! ”

Su Wei looked disdainful, "Haunted? Don't fool me. ”

"Believe it or not, there was another child missing in the elixir village yesterday, and I heard that those who disappeared were all taken away by the greedy Buddha."

It's greedy Buddha again! This is the second time Su Liu has heard of the Greedy Buddha, and Su Liu has almost begun to unconsciously think about what will happen next.

The mountain road leading to the elixir village is very steep, Su Liu is in a state of shaking up and down all the way, he who will not get motion sickness is almost shaken and vomited, at the moment when he vacated from the seat, Su Liu saw an old lady suddenly appear in front of the road, but the driver did not have the slightest intention of slowing down, and saw that he was about to hit the old man Su Liu hurriedly shook the driver's shoulder, "Master, stop quickly!" There's an old lady in front! ”

The driver impatiently pushed Su Liu's hand away, "Where is there an old lady?" I think you're blind. ”

Su Liu anxiously shook his parents on the side, but his parents also told him that there was nothing in front of him.

In this way, Su Liu watched the vehicle run over the old lady's body, but the strange thing was that the vehicle did not make the sound and feeling when it collided with an object, and looked behind him and still did not see any corpse, Su Liu couldn't help but wonder if he was hallucinating.

"Could it really be that I'm hallucinating?"

The vehicle drove for more than an hour and finally stopped in front of the entrance of the Elixir Village.

"The front is the elixir village, I won't go in to avoid causing some bad things, I advise you to be careful, don't provoke some unclean things at that time, then it's too late to regret it."

Su Wei agreed a few times as if he could, and snorted disdainfully after the driver left, "Isn't it just trying to cheat us out of our money, and make up a story to scary." ”

It was already past ten o'clock in the evening when they arrived at the Elixir Village, and from a distance, there was only one house with the lights still on, and that family was Grandma.

After walking for about ten minutes in the dark country lane, the group finally came to the gate of grandma's house.

Knocking on the door, grandma's voice came from inside.

"It's coming!"

As soon as she opened the door, Su Liu saw her grandmother's familiar face, which was very different from the grandmother in her childhood memory, the original sporadic white hair had covered the top of her head, the wrinkles on her face were full of traces of time, and even the original straight waist board did not know when to bend down.

"Grandma!"

Seeing Grandma Su Liu's hands trembling excitedly, "Ouch, it turned out to be my good grandson, come in." ”

Walking into the house, the family saw the grandfather who was also waiting for their family to give it to the aunt's family, and after saying hello one by one, the aunt began to be angry again.

"You said that your family doesn't buy a car, how can you let your parents stay up all night waiting for you? You must know that every day is my mother's 80th birthday. ”

Su Wei hurriedly apologized, "I'm sorry, our problem is that we are late." ”

"It's good to know." Su Qin turned around and walked to her grandparents and said, "Dad, Mom, go to sleep, don't hurt your body." ”

"Okay, okay, then Su Wei and your family should rest early, and we will go to sleep first."

After that, the grandparents went to the room to sleep, and after seeing the two of them leave, Su Qin didn't even look at it, and the family walked straight out of the living room, "There are two empty rooms on the second floor, you can look at it yourself." ”

"Su Qin!" Su Wei was about to find her, but Yang Xiaoli grabbed him and shook her head at her.

Su Liu had to swallow this breath and dragged his luggage and took the two of them to the second floor, there were a total of four rooms on the second floor, the first two were lived in by his aunt's family, and the family had to choose the last two, Su Wei and Yang Xiaoli lived in the penultimate room, and Su Liu lived in the last room.

Walking into the house, a stream of childhood memories instantly came to my heart, because this room was the room where I was a child, I didn't expect this house to have changed at all after more than ten years, and even the graffiti I had when I was a child were kept intact on the table, and after recalling the past of my childhood, Su Liu shook the ashes on the bed and went to bed and lay down.

After a long day's journey, he was physically and mentally exhausted, and he fell asleep in bed for less than five minutes, and soon fell asleep.

In the dream, it is still the elixir village, but the sky of the elixir village here is blood-red, just as he was walking in the country road, there was an old woman who had just appeared in the middle of the road, and when she just stepped forward and patted her on the shoulder and asked her if she was okay, she suddenly turned her head.

She doesn't have any facial features on her face!
