The village was very small, and after a while, they came to Zhou Chenhai's former home.

The familiar front yard, the familiar adobe house, although it was dilapidated, even the roof and gate were gone, but he still recognized it at a glance.

He couldn't hide the excitement in his heart and walked quickly into the front yard. It was empty, and nothing was left but weeds.

Further in, enter the ruins of what can barely be called a house. A living room with three bedrooms.

Zhou Chenhai looked around in this house. Looking at the rooms, I didn't find anything useful except for the broken bricks and tiles.

After a moment of silence, he remembered that there seemed to be a secret passage in one of the rooms. He walked into the room and groped around the corner.

Zhong Yujian on the side asked him, "What are you doing?"

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw Zhou Chenhai press an adobe brick.

There was a dull sound, and a staircase leading to the ground appeared in the center of the room, which was dark and unclear. The staircase is more than half broken, and it is impossible to walk down the staircase to the end.

"Wow, you still have a secret passage in your house?"

"This is the secret passage that Grandpa Li took me to escape from, without this secret passage, I wouldn't be alive today. You wait for me up there, and I'll go down and see. ”

Zhou Chenhai climbed the stairs and slowly climbed down. It's only three meters deep inside. After standing still, he lit a fire fold and lit up the surroundings.

The tunnel is narrow and surrounded by hard stone walls. Less than ten meters inside, a pile of heavy boulders blocked the way.

There was no other fork in the road, and Zhou Chenhai had no choice but to go back.

Unexpectedly, when he returned to the entrance, he saw a familiar object on the ground.

It was a bamboo flute, his father's bamboo flute.

When he was a child, his father would often play a few songs to amuse him. Now the bamboo flute is burned black at one end, and the other end has a crack, and it is no longer usable.

Zhou Chenhai sighed in his heart: "Maybe my father also returned to the secret passage before leaving, maybe he wanted to see me again." This bamboo flute also fell here. ”

Zhou Chenhai didn't know how to play the flute, but he was reluctant to throw it away. His father is not around, and this bamboo flute is the only thing he misses. He stuck the bamboo flute in his waist.

Zhou Chenhai eventually returned to the ground.

Zhong Yujian asked, "How is it? What did you find?"

"The tunnel has collapsed, and nothing useful has been found. ”

The two of them couldn't think of it, so they had to rummage through the broken bricks and rubble of the various houses, hoping to find some clues.

An hour passed, and they were exhausted and couldn't find anything to use. Almost all the items were destroyed in the fire. All walls and floors have been explored, but no clues have been found.

It was already completely dark, and it was a blur in front of me. Raindrops the size of beans fell from the sky.

The two ran to shelter from the rain in a house diagonally across the door, where the roof was still intact.

The rain is getting heavier and heavier, and I can't find any more clues tonight.

They discussed it and planned to spend the night here and find it again the next day.

The weather was getting colder and colder, they were huddled in a corner, Zhong Yujian took out some dry food, and the two chatted while eating.

Zhou Chenhai said: "Today, the great monk said that it is not appropriate to stay here for a long time. Do you know why? Could it be that there is danger here?"

Zhong Yujian said nonchalantly: "What are you afraid of, as long as your Grandpa Zhong is here, no matter what demons and monsters it is, the quasi-guarantee will be cleaned up properly!"

Zhong Yujian is now a blue-shirted disciple, and Zhou Chenhai is indeed a lot more relieved to have him by his side.

Zhong Yujian suddenly said again: "Second brother, the houses here are more than yours, this should be a big family, right?"

"Well, this was originally the village chief's house. After a fire, that's all that's left. ”

The place where the two lived was originally a small two-story building, with a courtyard in front of the building and a lot of rooms in the backyard.

Now the second floor has burned down, and the houses in the backyard are in tatters. Only the house on the right side of the hall on the first floor is still intact. Zhou Chenhai and Zhong Yujian were in this room at this time.

Heavy rain poured down, and the sky thundered and thundered. Zhou Chenhai wanted to make a fire to keep warm, but he couldn't find a piece of dry wood. They were next to each other, and they spoke without a word, and it was not long before they both fell asleep groggily.

............

In the middle of the night, the rain gradually stopped, and the residual rain slid down the eaves, falling to the ground drop by drop, and the sound of clicking was endless. The icy air surrounded Zhou Chenhai, freezing his cheeks red.

Faintly, a subtle voice came, and the content could not be heard clearly, as if someone was whispering. Zhou Chenhai opened his eyes in a daze and looked around. Suddenly, he noticed a man squatting in the dark corner of the room diagonally across from him!

The man was disheveled, his clothes were tattered, and his whole body was facing away from Zhou Chenhai, facing the wall, squatting while making a sound of squatting, and his body shook slightly.

This scene is a little weird, in the middle of the night, how could a person suddenly appear and squat in the corner and talk to himself?

Zhou Chenhai didn't make a sound, but listened carefully to the sound he made. I listened to it several times before I heard it clearly.

The voice said, "See what you've done to me?"

"See what you've done to me?"

"See what you've done to me?"

............

The words kept repeating, and Zhou Chenhai was a little frightened when he heard it. He didn't dare to alarm the people in the corner, and slowly turned his head to push Zhong Yujian beside him.

He lowered his voice and said, "Old, wake up, don't sleep!"

The strange thing is that no matter how Zhou Chenhai pushed him and pinched him, he couldn't wake him up.

Zhou Chenhai had no choice but to turn around.

At this moment, a face full of scorch marks suddenly appeared in front of him!

This ugly face was next to Zhou Chenhai's face, and a pair of eyes that only left the whites of his eyes were bloodshot.

Two hands with long pointed nails firmly grasped his arms, and his mouth burst out with a sharp and bitter shout: "Look what you have done to me!!"

"Ah!!h

Zhou Chenhai opened his eyes in shock, and cold sweat broke out on his face.

He looked at the empty corner of the wall opposite, and then looked at Zhong Yujian, who was still sleeping beside him, and then he breathed a long sigh of relief, it turned out that everything just now was just a dream.

Maybe it was too cold, maybe it was too uncomfortable to sleep on the ground, and I had a nightmare.

The sky was covered with dark clouds, and the stars and moon were hidden. Zhou Chenhai sat up, wiped the sweat from the corners of his forehead, and then was stunned.

"Is the person in the dream blaming me?"

He looked at the burned village and recalled the face covered in burnt scars. Sadness and anxiety are tightly intertwined in my heart.

In a daze, there was a creaking sound outside the door.

Zhou Chenhai was surprised in his heart, "How can there be a sound? Is there someone outside the room?"
