The pouring rain was like a hole in the sky, pouring down overhead. A group of four people, walking in the bare mountains, couldn't even find a place to shelter from the rain.

This is the intersection of Longwei County and Yuyang County, and there is not a single grass growing on the Magnetic Mountain, and even the stones are bare and extremely hard. Legend has it that when the gods were fighting, a divine weapon was broken and fell here, and the magnetic mountain was a part of the divine soldier and transformed into a mountain, waiting for his master to come and find it.

"When is this damn rain a head, this is the clothes that Lao Zhang personally cut for me... Ghost weather..."

"I'm annoyed, Zhang Xiaobai, can you shut up."

Zhang Xiaobai, who was poured into a soup chicken, shut up directly, and Sun Yu, who was walking in front of him, was also soaked, and he was originally dressed relatively lightly, but now it can be described as a curve, and the girl's elastic and wonderful carcass loomed.

A day earlier, they had arrived at the town of Magnet at the foot of Magnetic Mountain. The town is not big, and there are only a few people in the town.

There is no way, with his back to the magnetic mountain, he even has to climb over the mountain to get water, and it is all up to donkeys and people to carry the water. So in Magnet Town, water is the most expensive. The young people in the town have all left the town and gone out, and most of the old people in the town are left in the town. Later, it became even more unpopular.

Four people led the carriage and rode to the town.

I finally found an inn to live in, but it turned out that drinking water is more expensive than drinking, and even horses eating grass are more expensive than people eating. It was not good to make Zhang Xiaobai feel distressed, but he had been sleeping in the open for several days, so he could only endure the pain and stay comfortably in the inn for one night.

Who would have thought that in the middle of the night, Zhang Xiaobai suddenly heard the sound of horses, and the four of them got up to see that someone had stolen the carriage and their horses, and the four of them hurriedly got up and chased after them.

This chase is good, and it chased directly into Magnetic Mountain. After chasing until dawn, the carriage and the horse did not catch up, but they found that they were already in the magnetic mountain, and they didn't even know how to go back.

There was no food or drink, and the four people who were hungry and cold had a leak in their houses, and it rained overnight, and it really rained heavily.

"Ahead, there seems to be a house?"

Because the rain was really heavy, my vision was already blurred. And tired and hungry, if you go on like this, not to mention that Heiya's small body can't stand it, even the three of them may not be able to bear it.

Zhang Xiaobai wiped his eyes, and almost cried out with excitement.

"Yes, yes. There is indeed a house in front of it! Come on, come on! ”

I don't know where the strength came from, Zhang Xiaobai rushed to Sun Yu's side, directly picked up the black girl, and took the lead in running towards the house.

When he got closer, Zhang Xiaobai stopped. The house in front of me feels strange no matter how you look at it, and it has a bit of a weird atmosphere. After Liu Wenchuan and Sun Yu arrived, the four of them stood at the gate and looked at them in a daze.

To be honest, it's a bit empty-hearted.

The whole house is built on a flat hillside, surrounded by cyan walls more than one person high, which seem to have been built with local materials and gray soil of Cishan. When you look at it from a distance, there is a small house in the courtyard.

But when I got closer, I found that the yard was actually very large, at least it was a two-entry yard.

The walls are spotless, so clean that it makes people panic. Looking left and right, the courtyard wall seems to have no end in sight. But in my mind, I can recall the scene I just saw, the square courtyard, the blue walls, the blue lacquer doors, and the blue tiles.

Standing in the rain, Zhang Xiaobai shuddered, turned his head to Liu Wenchuan and asked, "Young master... We..."

Before he finished speaking, the door in front of the four of them suddenly made a tooth-aching creak, and it actually opened like this. Facing the unknown courtyard, the four of them subconsciously took a step back, and Zhang Xiaobai even touched the scissors on his waist.

However, what caught my eye was a woman holding a paper umbrella.

The middle-aged woman's face was a little blue, as if she had just recovered from a serious illness, and she had no energy. A pair of eyes were even more dull, the lips were white, and the hand holding the umbrella was thin as if there was only a layer of skin wrapped around the bones.

"How many people, do you want to take shelter from the rain?" The woman's voice was quiet and light, and there was no emotion in the inquiry.

Sun Yu and Zhang Xiaobai swallowed their saliva almost subconsciously at the same time, and their eyes involuntarily drifted to Liu Wenchuan. It seems that at this time, Liu Wenchuan is the backbone of everyone.

After the woman's gaze swept over the faces of the three of them, she froze on the black girl's body. The little girl dressed in black did not seem to be afraid of her appearance, but stared at her curiously.

The woman spoke faintly again: "Come in, the mountain rain is the coldest, don't hurt the child's body." ”

However, without looking back, he turned around and walked back.

The three of them looked at each other, and their eyes subconsciously stayed on the black girl's body. Liu Wenchuan nodded, took the lead in stepping forward and grabbed the black girl's hand, and casually said to the woman's back: "I'm bothered." ”

The four of them had just stepped into the threshold with their front feet when the door behind them suddenly slammed shut.

"Ahh Zhang Xiaobai was taken aback, and goosebumps rose on his whole body.

The woman slowly turned her head and looked at Zhang Xiaobai suspiciously.

"Yes, there is wind..."Zhang Xiaobai swallowed his saliva again, he had an idea now, he would rather be drenched in the rain outside, he didn't want to go forward, and looked at Lin Yi with a sad face.

"If you come, you will be safe."

Uncle Anzhi, this is a place for normal people.

"Come in, several. The husband went out to shop, but he was afraid that he would be separated from the town by the heavy rain. The rain in this magnetic mountain is very cold, and there is nowhere to avoid it. There was a brazier in the house, and a few people came in to warm up. ”

The woman's voice came faintly, ethereal not as if it came from her mouth, but as if it came directly from her stomach.

As he spoke, the man did not look back, but pushed open the door and walked in first.

Liu Wenchuan fell and followed into the room, but when he walked into the house, he was stunned. It's a big house, but it's only an empty room. In the center of the room was a brazier, and next to the brazier were four small benches.

Seeing this scene, the four people were so frightened that their teeth chattered.

Why does it feel as if the small benches and braziers in this room are specially prepared for the four of them?

"Remember to close the door, it's cold outside."

Zhang Xiaobai was the last to come in, and he was still stunned at the door, when he heard the woman's voice coming again.

The whole courtyard is full of strangeness.

The front door had just been closed, and the woman had already pushed open the back door, and the umbrella in her hand had never been put away. Walked out directly, "I'll go and prepare some food for you, the four of you can bake the fire first and warm up." ”

As she was about to close the door, a creepy smile suddenly appeared on the woman's face.

There seemed to be a little bit of glint in his eyes, like... The cat in the dark shadow, with its green eyes flashing, finally found that its prey had taken the bait.

Sit on a small bench, even though the brazier in front of you is hot. But the four of them were cold from head to toe. In this large room, the temperature of a brazier cannot expel the cold air from the entire empty room.

"Young master, let's go... I'm scared. Zhang Xiaobai was about to cry, but his hands were not idle at all, so he almost didn't stick them directly into the brazier.

Sun Yu also echoed: "It's indeed a bit scary, let's hide for a while and leave." ”

But Liu Wenchuan seemed to have made up his mind, and said with a cold face: "It's all in, and it's going to be dark soon." Where can we go? ”

Unexpectedly, the black girl who didn't speak from beginning to end agreed with Liu Wenchuan's statement, she nodded: "Yes, yes." Would you like to take care of me a little more, I'm all over my body, I'm determined not to leave. ”

Zhang Xiaobai, who was crying and mourning, didn't know whether his lips were purple from the cold, or he was frightened. Anyway, now his expression is as scared as he wants, he has never been afraid of anything else in his life, he is afraid of ghosts.

"My little aunt, I'll put all the clothes on you in a moment. I've been in this place for a quarter of an hour..."

Before he finished speaking, the back door of the room was opened quietly, and Zhang Xiaobai happened to be facing the back door, he only felt the cold wind swishing in his neck, and subconsciously looked back.

I saw that the woman was still holding an umbrella in one hand, and in the other hand was holding a huge square plate from below, on which were placed a plate of white-flour steamed buns, two plates of side dishes, steaming soup, and four pairs of dishes and chopsticks.

She brought in so many things so smoothly, and it seemed that she hadn't even splashed the slightest rain.

"A few people, the humble house is relatively leaky, and there are no tables and chairs available..."

Liu Wenchuan had already gotten up and took the square plate, "It's okay, it's okay, let's just put it on the ground and eat it, thank you, madam." ”

After putting her things down, the woman left again.

The four of them began to eat, and after the hot soup went down to their stomachs, their whole bodies warmed up. With food in my stomach, my body began to recover gradually. The temperature of the room seemed to have warmed up at this point.

Liu Wenchuan looked around and found that the main door of the room was out, and when the four of them came in, they didn't notice that there was a wooden frame behind the door.

"Xiaobai, you go and bring that one over, bake the clothes in the package first, and we'll change them when they're dry."

"Young master, you're all full of food and drink, otherwise let's go, don't bother others, right?"

"It's okay, it's still raining outside, it's getting dark, and it's easy to get lost in the mountains."

Zhang Xiaobai was so frightened that he almost screamed out loud, why did this woman come out of nowhere, when did she come in again?

The woman was holding two oil lamps in her hands and stood behind Zhang Xiaobai. After glancing back at the oil lamp, Zhang Xiaobai found that the room seemed to have become dark all of a sudden. It seems that the woman does not say that it is dark, and the room before is not dark at all.

The picture in the room seemed to freeze at this moment, except for the five people in the empty room, only the brazier in the middle emitted a faint light and heat, and there were two oil lamps lit alone, like two ghost fires floating in the air.

"With them, doesn't the room feel a lot brighter?" The corners of the woman's mouth were slightly raised, and the expression on the originally lifeless face finally became richer.

I don't know if it was the two oil lamps that lit her, or the heat of the room that finally warmed her. Her lifeless face finally reflected two smears of red.

Liu Wenchuan, Zhang Xiaobai, and Sun Yu stared at the flames of the two oil lamps with stupid eyes, and in their eyes, there were only two flames reflected. The whole world has turned into darkness.

"Giggles... Behold, because of your coming, its flame is more vigorous..."
