Chapter 4: You're Not Welcome Here
Bidding farewell to the small restaurant owner in Dong'an County, we continued to Dong'an Village.
The owner of the small restaurant persuaded us to stay in the county seat for one night and wait until dawn before entering the village, saying that the road was dangerous and there were traps. I thought it was just a rhetoric used by the owner of the small restaurant to keep us, but I soon regretted it.
This road is really as he said, there are no people along the way, there is not a single light, the road surface is uneven, and it is bumpy and bumpy along the way. And the road is much longer than we imagined, with no end in sight. Although I slowed down to be on the safe side, I had been driving the road for ten minutes and I hadn't seen a single turn.
It can't be a ghost hitting the wall, right?!
This is not superstition, the ghost hitting the wall is actually a hazy state of human consciousness, when walking at night or in the suburbs, unable to distinguish the direction, self-perception is blurred.
In order to relieve my nervous state of consciousness, I talked to Li Meng about the traps on the road, originally just to joke and scare her, but after listening to it, Li Meng suddenly pointed out the window and asked in a panic: "What is that?" ”
She's not going to scare me in turn, is she?
But soon, I dismissed this idea, because I also saw something strange at the end of the road.
I just put the brakes on the brakes and pulled over to the side of the road.
"Is that a person?" Li Meng asked weakly.
I squinted my eyes and tried to look towards the end of the road, where there was indeed a figure as far as the high beams could reach.
"It seems like a person...... But what is he doing here at such a late hour? I was confused and muttered.
"Waiting on the side of the road?" Li Meng also frowned, very puzzled.
"There is no shop in front of the village here, how did he get here? Besides, at this time period, how could it be waiting for the bus? I shook my head, I didn't know what the other person meant, but I definitely wasn't waiting for the bus here.
After listening to me, Li Meng looked at me with some panic: "It can't be a roadblock robbery, right?" ”
Hearing Li Meng's speculation, I suddenly felt an inexplicable funny, I wasn't laughing at Li Meng, but laughing at the robber.
Imagine how comical it would be for a man to stand on the side of the road and stop a car and rob only to rob two police officers.
With that, we parked on the side of the road and watched the figure from a distance.
After a full three minutes, the man stood there, motionless.
"It can't be a dummy, right? A scarecrow? "I pulled the lever and the high beam flashed twice, but the man was still motionless.
"It's autumn harvest season, but who would put a scarecrow on the side of the road?" Li Meng shook his head, the more he thought about it, the more wrong it became.
When people are afraid, their minds will be very active, and they will uncontrollably go to the places they are afraid to think. The so-called terrible things are just scaring yourself.
"Forget it, it doesn't matter, it doesn't matter if he's a human or a ghost, go over and take a look." I restarted the car and drove forward.
The figure was getting closer and closer to us, and Li Meng and I didn't speak, and our hearts were a little hairy.
In this kind of wilderness environment, it is very scary to see a figure on the side of the road, especially at 10 a.m., even if it is a dummy, it still makes people feel numb in the scalp.
The distance is getting closer, and we finally see his true colors.
It is indeed a scarecrow, the main trunk of the body is a cross made of wooden strips, the figure is dressed in shabby clothes, and several plastic bags are hung, and the breeze blows, fluttering.
Judging from the traces of the scarecrow stuck into the ground, it was not discarded here at random, but deliberately.
"It's scary to stand on the side of the road with this kind of thing, what a pervert the person who does it!" Li Meng cursed fiercely.
I agree with her, because it really scared the hell out of us.
No wonder the boss said don't walk at night, who would have thought that you would encounter such a thing that people are not ghosts, if you accidentally scare passing vehicles, it is very dangerous.
Not only that, but I also saw a sign on the scarecrow that said: You are not welcome in Dong'an Village.
Seeing the words on the sign, I was really angry and funny, other people's villages are written "welcome", this Dong'an village is too upright, even if you hate outsiders, you won't set up a sign to write it.
I looked at the strange scarecrow in front of me and snorted coldly. "How the people of Dong'an Village don't want outsiders to enter the village?! Before he reached the entrance of the village, he came to get off the horse. ”
"Phew! Do you think we're willing to come? It's too much to hang a sign. Li Meng said angrily, and immediately prepared to get out of the car and dismantle this obscure thing.
I grabbed her and winked at her: "Forget it, let's go to the village." ”
Li Meng shook off my hand and said angrily: "No, I have to dismantle this thing today!" ”
After she finished speaking, she opened the car door and came to the scarecrow, and flew up directly.
The scarecrow shook under the strong impact, but quickly returned to its original position, and it seemed that the scarecrow was still deep in the ground.
Li Meng lucked his luck, held his breath, and kicked again.
There was only a crisp sound, and the scarecrow was kicked off by the waist and flew far away.
Seeing this scene, I couldn't help but shiver and subconsciously rubbed my calves.
"Let's go! Enter the village! Li Meng sat back in the car, and it seemed that she had not lost her breath.
I restarted the car and continued on the country road, which was dark and dark in pine forest. I don't know if it's psychological, but I always feel that there is something terrible hidden in the pine forest.
Quickly lock all the car doors, close all the windows tightly, and continue to drive towards Dong'an Village.
Soon, I saw a blue street sign on the side of the road that said Dong'an Village.
After driving for about 20 minutes, I finally saw the lights, and in front of me was the village committee of Dong'an Village, it was already midnight, and it seemed that the members of the village committee were still waiting for us.
It wasn't until the car stopped in front of the village committee that I finally breathed a long sigh of relief, and there were no traps along the way, except for an obscure scarecrow.
When I opened the car door and got out of the car, a chill hit me, and the air was very clear, especially the air mixed with the scent of grass, which could only be smelled in the village.
Three men walked out of the house, all members of the village committee, and the one at the front was the village party secretary of Dong'an Village.
"Hello, welcome to Dong'an Village."
After I shook hands with them one by one, I suddenly noticed that the village party secretary's hands were very delicate, without any roughness, and by the light, the village party secretary looked very young, estimated to be only in his twenties.
