We rushed out of the tower, the courtyard was empty, the grass in the courtyard here is so high, if this person hides in the dark, no one can find out, now we are in the light, he is in the dark, this place should not stay for a long time, go quickly.

We ran out of the yard without looking back, at this time I didn't care if there were snakes in the grass, just strode wildly, Lao Lu was out of breath, I dragged him to the corner of the wall, turned over and jumped over the wall, I couldn't tell the way back to the base, only with the memory of watching the scenery on the tower just now, ran in the direction of the village.

Wangshan ran a dead horse. I saw it very close from the tower, but it took almost an hour to walk, and along the way, Lao Lu kept asking me what I had just seen, and I just shook my head. That's right that the water was placed at the top of the stairs just now, and when we went downstairs, we deliberately crossed over from above, and there was no reason why I would be gone, could there be someone at the top of the tower?

"Maybe the wind blew the water and the bottle rolled off the bed!" Lao Lu tried his best to explain it from a scientific point of view.

"We stayed on it for a long time, there was not a trace of wind, and the slope of the ground was very high, if the water bottle was blown over, then it would have to roll in the direction of the stairs, how could it be rolled under the bed? And I clearly remember that the bottle of mineral water is square, how can it roll? ”

As I was talking, I suddenly remembered that after the two of us went up to the tower, we didn't look at it under the bed.

Lao Lu waved his hand and said, "Don't think about it, what's the matter, even if there are people, he didn't dare to appear on the tower, that is, he was afraid of the two of us, he didn't dare to do anything to us, the one who ran into the yard, whether it was a person or a ghost, didn't he dare to show his face?" Lao Lu has a rough temperament and doesn't care about anything.

The two of us walked for an hour before entering the village, and in front of us was a dirt road, lined with bungalows on both sides, all of which were old houses from the eighties and nineties. In recent years, most of the people in Erlong Mountain have gone to develop tourism, and these aborigines are old people, guarding a few acres of land for self-sufficiency. The old people in the village are a little strange to see us coming in, maybe our clothes are full of dust, Lao Lu's leather shoes are still glued when jumping the door, and now one leg has to be dragged to the ground when walking, otherwise the feet have to stick out of the soles, and my pants were scraped open by the wire A few holes, our current image is indeed a little embarrassed.

The old people around us stopped what they were doing and turned their heads to look at us. Lao Lu coughed a few times, and saw a small shop on the side of the road, Lao Lu walked in to buy cigarettes, and I took a bottle of water and poured it down. Although it was summer, the cold feeling in the villa just now made my heart chill, and I only saw the sunshine when I arrived in the small village, which finally made Dongdong's heartbeat slow down.

The houses in the village are all old-fashioned bungalows from the 80s, and a few old ladies sit in front of their homes, chatting while doing their work. Lao Lu leaned against the door and smoked, and the owner of the store looked outside in a daze.

"What are the two abandoned villas in front of this for?"

The boss said, "Oh? You two went? It's been a ruined place for years, and no one usually goes there, so you two are not small. ”

I didn't answer his words: "It's a good villa, why don't you want it?" ”

"It was developed by the Japanese, and it took a lot of effort to build it, but it didn't take long to turn yellow, do you think that place looks like a place where people live? The Japanese devils are stupid, they deserve to lose money, and they can't sell their villas, so they have been thrown there all these years and scrapped. "The owner was a little bit of a chadenfreude.

I said that the little devils are all very treacherous, how can they be so ignorant?

The boss said, "You don't believe me? When I built these two villas, I was only 10 years old, and I saw with my own eyes that the place was built for several years before it was completed. ”

The boss is about 40 years old, according to him, when he was 10 years old, it was at least 30 years ago, 30 years ago, built two villas in this mountain, developed tourism? It sounds like a fantasy, but at that time, it seemed that the common people still didn't have enough to eat.

"That's a pity, it looks very beautiful, even if you don't want it, why don't the people in the village go to live? Just throw it there and let it rot like that? I asked, puzzled.

"When the place was just abandoned, the people in the village went there to see, and the village wanted to use the house as an activity room, but the place was too far away, and the house was cloudy and damp, so there was no one to live in at all, and then no one went, but a lot of doors, windows, and parts were removed. The boss said.

I had always been obsessed with the tower, and I asked what the tower was for.

The boss said he didn't know, he was still young, and he was abandoned anyway, and he went up to play when he was a child, and it was too dirty, and there were piles of rats, and it became a rat nest. The boss shook his head.

Lao Lu smiled and squeezed his eyes at me, meaning don't worry, the water must have been knocked down by a mouse. I don't think so, how do you explain those five finger prints? The rat can't grow a human hand, and the sound of going downstairs is so clear, it can't be the sound of the rat running out.

Lao Lu asked the boss how to go to the Erlongshan training base, the boss said that it was far away, nearly a dozen miles, he drew a sketch on the cigarette paper for us, and I asked him if there was a shoemaker nearby who repaired shoes, after all, Lao Lu could not be dragged all the time. The boss smiled and pointed the way, and we thanked us and left.

Lao Lu and I mended our shoes, and when we were about to go back, Lao Lu's lighter ran out of gas, and he saw an old man in front of him sorting out the stack of firewood in front of his yard, with cigarettes and matches on the side, so he went over to borrow a fire from him.

Lao Lu lit a cigarette and handed it to the old man, the old man stopped what he was doing and took it with his hand, I don't smoke, I stood alone on the side frowning and thinking about things.

"I don't believe that the bottle of water was knocked over by a rat, how do you explain those five fingerprints? And you heard the sound of running downstairs, so it can't be my auditory hallucination. This villa looks eerie, what kind of monster is there in Baoqi. "I'm still talking to Lao Lu about my doubts.

"You've been to that villa?" The old man listened to a few words from the side, and asked me with a glaring voice, and his voice startled me.

"What's wrong? Go, no, that's where the soles were lost. I pointed to Lao Lu's shoes.

"Something? Haunted? Lao Lu asked with a frown.

The old man asked rhetorically, "What do you think that villa looks like?" ”

"Isn't it a tourist attraction developed by the Japanese, but then the location is wrong and yellow." I say.

"Phew, can little Japan do such a stupid thing?" The old man was excited, spit out yellow phlegm, and Lao Lu took the opportunity to hand over a cigarette again: "What's the matter, tell me?" ”

The old man looked up at the two of us, sat cross-legged on the stack of wood, and took a deep breath of his cigarette.

"The place where the house was built is a dead land, what is called a dead land, that is, there is no wind, sheltered from the sun, back to the water, loss of momentum, you two have been there, it is the shade of the mountain, the crops can't grow, not even mushrooms grow, to put it mildly, the older generation doesn't even bury the dead there, building a house is pure."

The old man continued, "About 30 years ago, a group of Japanese and county leaders accompanied me to inspect here, saying that we have beautiful mountains and rivers, and we want to engage in tourism development, build tourist resorts, and hire us locals to work. We have been facing the loess with our backs to the sky all our lives, and the resort is a novelty to hear. When I was in my 30s, I took the initiative to sign up to work, and the salary was quite high, 5 yuan a day, which was not a small amount in those days. We followed the Japanese in the mountains for several days, they telescopes, road maps everything, it seems that there was this GPS we use now, it is strange to say, we took them to a place with good scenery they can't look at, went straight to this broken place, and finally gave the county a large sum of money, rented this land, the Japanese chose a good site, they gave us a drawing, let us build a house according to the drawing, then the strange thing came. ”
