Chapter Ninety-Nine: A Deserted Village
Time flies!
Two days later!
Chen Yinjun drove a car borrowed from the Strange Bureau, driving on a road with few people, and the navigation on his mobile phone directly navigated to the destination of the supernatural event to be dealt with this time, the deserted village!
Chen Yinjun has checked the information on the Internet before, but because the distance is relatively remote and people often disappear in that area in recent years, there is not a lot of information on the Internet, only that it is a small village that is a little old.
As for the supernatural events there, before leaving, Chen Yinjun specially asked Gan Wei, and Gan Wei just replied that he would know when he got there, and he sent it away.
To be honest, Chen Yinjun didn't believe that the supernatural events and strange situation in this deserted village really didn't have any intelligence information at all, probably because of the assessment considerations, so he didn't give it to him directly.
However, Chen Yinjun didn't care, because of the domain, even if this supernatural event was unusual, he would always be able to run if he couldn't beat it.
As the car turned from the highway into a small road, and after driving for more than ten minutes, a somewhat desolate village appeared in front of Chen Yinjun's eyes.
Chen Yinjun looked down at the mobile phone navigation, and the mobile phone navigation showed that there were still a few hundred meters away from the real destination, but Chen Yinjun felt that there seemed to be something wrong with this location. So in front of the intersection of Linjin Village, Chen Yinjun stopped the car with one foot. Pulled the car over.
After Chen Yinjun got out of the car, he opened the trunk and took out a slightly larger backpack from it, which contained some emergency food and a few sets of change of clothes, in addition, there was an empty detention container specially equipped for Chen Yinjun by the Strange Bureau. The last one is a little different, it's the container box where the puppeteers were held.
Chen Yinjun didn't know why, he took it out when he went back to Yijing Huayuan to pack his clothes last night.
Chen Yinjun carefully checked it, especially for the box where the puppet ghost was held, and he didn't let go of the front and back, left and right, and after making sure that there were no gaps in the box, Chen Yinjun put on his backpack with peace of mind and walked towards the direction of the village entrance.
"It's a bit desolate and remote, but it looks normal!" Chen Yinjun walked all the way in the direction of the entrance of the village, frowning slightly.
There seem to be vegetable fields and farmland in front of the intersection, but it seems to be uncared for and looks a little barren.
Chen Yinjun walked to the entrance of the village, there is a small stone tablet here, the dust and sand on the stone tablet are very serious, but he can still see that there are two big black characters engraved on it-deserted village.
Chen Yinjun half-squatted down and gently wiped the stone tablet, and then slowly walked into the village.
As soon as he walked into the village, Chen Yinjun immediately took out an early warning lighter, lit the fire and took a look at the nearby situation first.
Chen Yinjun didn't put away the early warning lighter, so he held it in his hand.
This deserted village is not big, maybe the village is a little big, in fact, there are only seven mud tile houses, three or three aligned, and then the largest one is in the front, the position opposite the gate is aligned with six mud houses isolated out of a walkway, it can be said that the environment is very simple, Chen Yinjun just glanced at it casually, the largest mud house is as big as two or three other houses.
These mud houses look like old houses in the 80s and 90s, because of the age, exude a rotten atmosphere, and because the deserted village is above the mountains, backlighting, lighting restrictions make these old houses give people a dim, uncomfortable depression.
Chen Yinjun walked to a mud-tiled house closest to the entrance of the village, and looked through the transparent window with a green frame, which seemed to be a bedroom, with only a simple straw mat on the bed, an oil lamp on a wooden square table, and a study table near the window, on which there was an exercise book and a pencil that was only half broken.
"Are there any children living here?" Because Chen Yinjun saw that the workbook was marked on the top of the third grade mathematics {Volume II} exercise book.
The door of this kind of mud tile house is a solid wood door, there is a key jack on the side, and the doorknob is a copper ring.
Chen Yinjun pushed the door hard, but did not open it, but raised a lot of dust that had accumulated for an unknown amount of time, and Chen Yinjun hurriedly dodged it.
"Ahem, cough~!" There seemed to be some wood chips in the falling dust, and there was still some dampness, and Chen Yinjun could still smell a smell that was not thick or shallow.
Chen Yinjun covered his mouth and nose, swept away the dust and wood chips that fell on his head, and continued to walk forward.
After a walk around the house on the left and the house on the right, Chen Yinjun found that there seemed to be nothing unusual here except for the dilapidated houses and the quiet, which looked like a depressed and deserted village.
But judging from the situation of the first house, it seems that there are people living here, but Chen Yinjun didn't see anyone when he drove over all the way, and there is only one way to enter and exit here, and it is now broad daylight, where can people go?
Chen Yinjun set his eyes on the largest mud house in the center, if there were still people here, it could only be there.
Chen Yinjun raised the early warning lighter in his hand and faced the door far away, and then slowly approached the past, during which Chen Yinjun's eyes had been paying attention to the changes in the early warning lighter, and Chen Yinjun would immediately launch the field to avoid his own risks.
As he got closer and closer, Chen Yinjun found that this mud tile house looked much more magnificent and solemn than the six houses in front, not only in front of the door, but also placed two stone lions in front of the door, and there was also a plaque hanging above the main entrance, which read the word "Yang Ancestral Hall", which was written from right to left, but because of the long-term problem, the hot gold font has faded a lot.
"There is still an ancestral hall in such a small village?" This was a bit unexpected by Chen Yinjun.
Chen Yinjun stood outside the gate, glanced at the warning lighter and put it away after finding that there was no change, and then grabbed the copper ring on the door and knocked it hard.
"Bang bang bang~!"
The copper ring knocked on the door and made a sound similar to metal, Chen Yinjun was a little surprised, the inside of the door of this Yang Temple was still metal.
"Is anyone there?" Chen Yinjun shouted a few words loudly, and the voice immediately echoed in this empty land, startling the birds on the mountain.
No one responded, Chen Yinjun muttered: "No one? It shouldn't be. So he went up and knocked on the door again, and shouted again.
"Ahem, cough~!"
At this time, Chen Yinjun vaguely heard a coughing sound coming from inside the door, Chen Yinjun took a few steps back, and then heard a sound from behind the door when carrying things.
The door slowly opened a crack, and an old man emerged from it. The old man wore a broken straw hat on his head, and his hair was gray on the brim. The upper body is not clothed, but a towel that has been black and has not slipped on his shoulder. The whole back, black and shiny, sparkled as if it had been coated with a layer of oil. The lower trouser legs rolled up to the knees, and the hairy calves were covered with countless tendons, large and small, connected by high bulging blood vessels.
"I'll go, this old man, you can be in shape!" If you don't look at the face, it's hard to imagine that this is the body of an old man.
"Child, who are you!" The old man only reached Chen Yinjun's chin, tilted his head and asked Chen Yinjun.
Chen Yinjun came back to his senses and pretended to be lost: "Grandpa, hello, it's like this, I came out to travel alone, just now the car broke down when passing by the entrance of the village, the person from the tow truck company said that there was a landslide at the foot of the mountain a few days ago that is being cleaned up, and it will take a few days to get in, I want to ask if I can live here for a few days?" If you don't live in vain, I can give money. With that, he took out a few red heads from his wallet.
After listening to Chen Yinjun's words, the old man saw Chen Yinjun handing him the money, and hurriedly shook his hand and said: "No, no, we have a few mud tile houses here, if you don't feel troublesome, you can live casually, there is no one in the six houses in front, you see which one you want to live in, I'll go find the key." ”
The old man's cloudy eyes seemed to be a little glazed, but he didn't expect them to speak clearly.
"Isn't there anybody?" Chen Yinjun remembered the children's workbook when he saw the first house he saw.
"Grandpa, is it okay for me to live in the first room on the right hand side of the village entrance? That's it. Chen Yinjun pointed to the room with the children's exercise book, and then stuffed the money in his hand into the old man's hand, and said, "Grandpa, you should still take this money, just treat it as my accommodation fee for the past few days." ”
The old man couldn't refuse, and finally had to accept it, looked in the direction of Chen Yinjun's finger, and said, "That room?" Okay, I'll go get the keys. After speaking, he turned around and went back to the Yang Temple.
It's just strange that the old man closed the door when he entered, and at the same time, something fell on the door with a "click" sound, which sounded like it was locked.
Chen Yinjun didn't think so, he just thought that this was where someone's ancestral hall was located, and it was normal to guard against himself as an outsider.
Soon. The sound of moving things sounded in the door again, and then the door opened, and the old man came out with a key strung with wire, turned around and closed the door again and said to Chen Yinjun: "Child, come with me." ”
"Okay!" Chen Yinjun answered, and then followed the old man in the direction of the village.
"Grandpa, are you the only one living here?" Chen Yinjun took the initiative to bring up the topic.
"Yes, a few years ago, there were still people farming in the village, and then they all went out to work outside to make money, and I was the only one who still lives here, which can be regarded as guarding the ancestral hall here, and now young people rarely care about this, haha!" The old man looked quite old, but he still spoke vigorously and vigorously.
"Is it just the Yang Temple in the back?" Chen Yinjun pointed to the house behind.
"Yes, when I was young, I heard the older generation say that we used to have more than just such a place here, saying that it was a big family, but then it declined, and only this ancestral hall was retained, anyway, I can't tell if it's true or fake, haha! It's here, isn't it? As they spoke, the two of them had already walked to the location of the first house at the entrance of the village.
Chen Yinjun nodded, and the old man took out a key from the keychain in his hand, inserted it into the keyhole, twisted it a few times, and then pushed it hard, and the door opened.
