"Hmm... Miss Song? ”

In the dark, Song Siyuan didn't speak, but her breathing was very short, obviously flustered.

Something must have happened, he sank, and out of the corner of his eye, he looked out of the corner of his eye at the window.

At this time, it was already the second half of the night, the thunder outside the house was like a hammer drum, the lightning crackled and jumped, and the light inside was flickering and flickering, the wind outside the window was strong, and there seemed to be human voices faintly whimpering, and many black shadows were floating around on the window!

Strangely, once you look at it with your eyes, only the shadows of the trees in front of the window are swept by the wind, swaggering outside like ghosts.

Lu Fengjian was awakened by this movement, and said faintly in the dark: "Do you feel that something is staring at us?" ”

His words suddenly made Yue Guanchao sober up, making him feel like he was being spied on.

"Light a candle."

Yue Guanchao turned out the fire fold, as the candle was lit, the swaying tree shadows outside the window stopped abruptly, and soon after the pouring rain came, he got up and wanted to open the window, Lu Fengjian hurriedly stopped him: "Don't get excited, when we came up just now, didn't Lao Lu say that you can't open the window if there is any movement outside the window." ”

Song Siyuan froze and recalled the words of the post guard Lao Lu: "I thought Lao Lu was referring to beasts, but now it seems that there are more evil things." ”

Lu Fengjian glanced at his pocket watch and nodded at them: "There are still a few hours before sunrise, let's not sleep too hard, wait until tomorrow we will ask, see if Old Lu knows the inside story, I always feel that this village is weird." ”

The three of them were afraid of another strange thing, so they could only light the candles, sometimes awake and sometimes sleepy, and wait for the rooster to sing the next day, so that they could rest assured that they could make up for sleep.

Waking up at noon, Yue Guanchao went down the stairs, Lao Lu was already cleaning the counter, he remembered the strange thing last night, leaned on the counter, and asked mysteriously: "Lao Lu, do you know that the shadow will come, so you specially warn us?" ”

The old man was polishing the wine jar with his head down, and suddenly stopped in place: "I mean let you sleep with your heads covered, but you have experienced a lot, and you can guess it." ”

"Experienced a lot?"

Yue Guanchao pondered the meaning of his words, stepped into the counter, and pressed the old man's rag: "Have you seen it too?" Do you know what they are? Aren't you afraid! ”

Lao Lu glanced at him meaningfully: "Let's not do bad things, I'm not afraid of ghosts calling the door, I look up and do things and bow my head to be a man, no one owes anything, I'm afraid of what they do." ”

"Still." Lao Lu turned around, and his tone became mysterious: "Don't dig into it, it's only bad for you, no good." ”

"But what the hell is this?" Yue Guanchao wanted to ask, but this old Lu didn't leak anything, and he refused to reveal a trace of news.

He knew that he couldn't ask anything, so he simply helped Lao Lu pull out the door shield and open the pergola.

In the afternoon, the warm sun soon shone into the verandah of the post station, and the stone bricks reflected the bright spots of light, after a night of wind and rain, the sky was already clear, the sky was blue, and there were a few soft clouds, he looked up from the ground, the distant river beach and hillside were verdant, and the forest spread fresh air.

Yue Guanchao's body was warmed by the sun, and his mood suddenly improved, he stretched his waist and looked back at the window on the second floor, but in the blink of an eye, his smile suddenly froze.

He found that in front of the post station was a rare bluestone wide field in the town, not to mention trees, there was no grass, and some masonry was dry and dusty, and there was no trace of being washed by the rain.

However, last night's torrential rain and swaying tree shadows were not hallucinations!

……

Nokawa Station, the second floor, guest rooms

Yue Guanchao and the three of them opened the window, there was nothing outside, seeing this scene, everyone was afraid, if the window was opened last night, what would be waiting for them.

"I asked just now, Lao Lu is a saw-mouthed gourd, he can't ask anything at all, we want to know what this is, it seems that we have to do it ourselves."

Before Yue Guanchao finished speaking, Song Siyuan's eyes became extremely weird, and he unconsciously asked, "What kind of eyes are you, scared?" ”

"It's not!" Song Siyuan walked back to the table and took out a bag of things, and the tools fell to the ground with a bang, all of which were Luoyang shovels, shovels, corpse ropes, and even candles used for tomb robbing.

"These things, I found them in the cabinet just now, the bag is quite sturdy, and there is only a layer of dust on the surface, which means that this thing has not been here for a long time, and there is a map."

Yue Guanchao took a cursory look, it was a rough map sketched with a brush, and it was vaguely recognizable as Yehe Town by looking at the outline, and there was a route marked with a red line, which led directly to the exit of Yehe Town, and he smiled crookedly:

"If the thing has not been taken away here, it means that its owner is missing, and Lao Lu has hidden a lot of things from us!"

He paused, and his tone became sly: "You can't ask Lao Lu, it's better to do it yourself." ”

"Let's go!"

The three of them took the map and walked into the hillside forest according to the red line.

Far away from the dwellings in Yehe Town, the noisy voices gradually fell silent, leaving only the boundless primeval trees, and the chirping of birds from far and near.

They followed the mark for an unknown amount of time, and faintly heard the sound of rushing water, and hurried out of the bushes.

In the distance, a mysterious river crosses the end.
