......

......

Harsh, noisy.

This was Su Hongxin's first feeling after returning to his senses, as if he had just woken up, his body trembled uncontrollably, his eyes were blank, but he immediately turned his head like an electric shock, frowned, and then squinted his eyes through his fingers to look at the place where the light came from.

As my eyesight gradually adjusted, I saw that outside the swaying car window, there were mountains and rivers that kept retreating, and on the distant mountains, there was a round of golden sun, and the light and heat it emitted made it difficult to look directly.

Su Hongxin didn't seem to react for a moment, he looked around blankly, his ears were full of noisy shouting mixed with scolding and complaining, and his brain was about to explode.

"Trains?"

He had seen his surroundings somewhat clearly.

Good guy, black oppressive, at a glance, the aisle is full of people who can't see the end, people crowded, people oppressed, turned into a crowded and noisy torrent, squeezed to the back, this feels like when he was five or six years old, his parents took the green train to catch the Spring Festival, no, more crowded than that.

The cries of children, the scolding of women, and the shouts of men were as noisy as boiling a pot of hot water, and the crowded carriages were almost breathless, and all kinds of strange and pungent smells mixed together, as if they had fallen into a stinking ditch.

But what made Su Hongxin really dumbfounded was the clothes these people were wearing.

Most of the men are wearing small coats, some with melon skin hats on their heads, some are simply shirtless and breastless, and some can find a few robes, horse coats, and tunics, while the women are wearing cheongsams and skirts, and the colors are monotonous like old faded photos of their homes.

Not only people, but even the train seemed to have lost a layer of color, the peeling paint, the rusty windows, and the dirty clothes of all colors seemed to be driven by the mud, and even the air seemed to be mixed with countless dust and coal smells, filled with a sense of decadence of the old times.

Listening to the roar outside the window and the sound of the train running over the tracks, Su Hongxin's heart sank a little bit.

Suddenly, he saw that someone still had braids, a piece of blue and black stubble scraped in front of his head, a big black and shiny thick braid coiled on the top of his head, the man was wearing a green cloth coat, carrying a gray bag, and on his dark and strong chest, there was a thick and dark chest hair.

And he himself was crowded in the corner of the carriage, and then with the surging flow of people at a loss to move forward, along the way he never stopped a pair of eyes, curious to look around, really a fresh; this is not as bright and clean as in the movie and television, the roar in the ears does not disperse, the carriage shook violently, as if next to the locomotive, the air feels floating cinders, muddy and uncomfortable.

Confusion, crowding, disorder, decadence......

Moreover, it's too crowded.

Su Hongxin, who gradually came back to his senses, was so dizzy that he was squeezed by the flow of people, and he was almost about to scold his mother, in fact, many people have already started scolding, shouting all over the place, that is from the beginning to the end, as well as the crying of children, the shouting of women, I don't know who secretly grabbed someone's buttocks, which caused a burst of scolding.

didn't need Su Hongxin to lift his feet, he had already been pushed and walked through a few carriages, but fortunately, the further back, these people also dispersed, and they breathed a sigh of relief one by one, as if they had been saved from drowning, and even Su Hongxin secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

When it was his turn, he was dumbfounded, when had he experienced such a scene.

After a moment of stunned effort, those who saw the seats, like vicious dogs snatching food, several of them started to move.

Su Hongxin was silent, he simply picked a quiet corner, sat down, didn't bother to go any further, and breathed a sigh of relief, he looked at the black ring on his hand, his expression was complicated and strange, and he didn't need to think about it to know that the problem was in the ring.

But this time, let him wipe and wipe, look and see, and put it in his mouth and bit it a few times, almost didn't break his teeth, and there was no response. Su Hongxin seemed to remember something again, and hurriedly touched the things on his body, and the mobile phone or anything was gone.

But.

"Huh?"

There is something.

When he got it back, Su Hongxin was stunned, and what he was holding in his palm was a paper ticket, which was quite old.

The ink on it didn't even dry out, it was all traditional characters, and his eyes were only on the top, and after seeing what was printed, he was frozen in place like a thunderbolt, and he was stunned, and said stupidly: "The second year of Xuantong, the third-class seat, Hankou to Lugou Bridge ......"

But then, as soon as Su Hongxin stared, he saw that those handwriting strokes suddenly writhed and swam, turning into a sentence again - "Arrive at the end alive!"

"What does that mean? Or can I go back when I get to the terminal?

scolded and muttered, and when he looked at it carefully, it was as if the line had never appeared, Su Hongxin looked at the ticket again and again, and when he saw that there was nothing wrong, he reluctantly put it back in his pocket.

After a while, he listened to him gradually recovering from his taste, and said in a somewhat unbelievable voice: "It's really strange!"

Raising his eyes and looking around, looking at everything strange around him, although Su Hongxin was a kind of nervous and flustered in his heart, but it was not all; after the beginning of the helplessness, this felt very strange, I don't know if it was to listen to his grandfather tell the story of the late Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China too much, and he was exposed to it, for this bizarre and strange experience, Su Hongxin must have been flustered at first, but when he eased up, there was still a faint kind of indescribable curiosity and expectation in his heart.

He was thinking about things, the sun on the distant mountains had unconsciously set most of it, and the dim twilight gradually shrouded the earth, gloomy and terrible, and the dark clouds gradually thickened, and nine times out of ten there was a heavy rain, and the air was hot and hot, most of the dog days.

I was confused, and I don't know how long it was.

Su Hongxin was woken up by the violent tremor of the train.

It's going to be completely dark outside.

I don't know when there was one more person beside him, it was a fat man, with a round head and big ears, a shiny face, a fat body, and a chicken leg in his hand, smacking bones, and making a sound.

When he finished gnawing, he took another wrapped roast chicken, but as soon as he opened it eagerly, his round face was immediately stunned, and then he scolded: "Damn, the ghost covered his eyes, and he actually caught the way, and used the old tile to fool Lao Tzu!"

I saw what kind of roast chicken was wrapped in this cellophane, with black legs and a black mouth, it was clearly a crow with a hairless body, a thin and short body, and no meat of half a catty or eight taels.

Scolding and scolding, this person can actually be able to speak, Su Hongxin's stomach turned over for a while, you must know that crows eat carrion.

Just like that, it was already raining heavily outside the window, and the raindrops the size of beans crackled on the car window, and everything outside was blurred in an instant.

"Alas, damn, it's not going to rain sooner or later, but it's raining at this time, God can bless you with something else on the road!"

The fat man pouted his bones, glanced out the window and muttered to himself, his body was bloated and fat, and when he moved slightly, he immediately sweated like rain, and he put on a fat sleeveless brown cloth coat, which was stained with sweat, and sat there, and put his legs on it, just like a Maitreya Buddha.

"What can happen?"

The fat man looked at it.

Seeing the question, it was the young man next to him, grinning and shining. "Look at the little brother is the first time to go out, this kind of heavy rainy day, if the road is broken, the bridge collapses, and then the unlucky point floods, it is not unusual, a day or two of the road can delay you for ten days and a half months, if you are unlucky, encounter something evil, maybe you have to take it in!"

The more he spoke, the lower his voice became.

This question was naturally Su Hongxin, his eyes changed vaguely, and he asked with some curiosity: "What do you mean by evil things?"

The fat man was silent for a while, thinking that he had been sitting alone for a long time, and he couldn't bear the boredom, seeing Su Hongxin talking, he first took out a handkerchief, wiped the sweat on his head, and then whispered: "Little brother, have you heard of beating raw piles?"

Driving piles?

The fat man shook his fat all over his body, and said mysteriously: "After a while, I will go to the Bishan Tunnel, I heard that ......"

The more Su Hongxin listened, the more his heart sank.

He didn't understand it just now, and when he heard this, his heart suddenly burst out, isn't this the living sacrifice in the mouth of the older generation.

Legend in this world, the mountains and rivers, all have spirituality, is not talking about the gods and gods and Buddhas, but the mountain spirits and wild monsters in it, ghosts and immortals, I have heard it in the past, but those things have been some years ago, it is said that when the mountain is opened to build roads, digging rivers and building bridges, but whenever there are some strange things, digging mountains and collapsing mountains, and paving bridges are broken, it means that these things are doing trouble, and they want benefits, and they have to be alive.

Outside the window, it will be stormy, lightning and thunder.

The pale lightning tore through the sky, I don't know if it was an illusion, Su Hongxin saw that in the blurry rainy night outside the window, there seemed to be a shadowy figure standing......
