Heaven and earth have Zhongqi, the first is Zhongyuan. The gate of the earth is wide open, and the soul of the ancestors returns, and the alleys are sparsely populated in the dead of night.

In the middle of July, the mid-year festival, there are also popular names such as the Bon Festival, the Ancestor Festival, the Ghost Festival and so on.

However, in today's world of steel and concrete, this festival has been forgotten by most people.

......

In the early hours of the morning, a man rode through the street on a small electric donkey.

His name is Zhou Qing, he is 27 years old and he is a delivery man.

"Ding Dong ~ You have a new takeaway order news, please deal with it in time. ”

The mobile phone clamped to the front of the car sounded, and Zhou Qing stopped the car and clicked on the order details.

"A Yin Soul Package: (Ingot Shrimp Jiao + Angelica Angelica Meat and Bone Soup), the address of the merchant ......"

After taking a look at the order details, Zhou Qing went directly to the store where the merchant was located.

He parked the e-done on the side of the road and when he entered the store, he found a colleague sitting in the store waiting for the merchant to place an order.

"Today is Halloween, you are usually so timid, you have to be careful tonight, don't really bump into that floating thing, it's terrible. Zhou Qing walked up to his colleague and sat down and quipped.

"Fart, labor and management are no less daring than you. ”

After the colleague replied, he chatted with Zhou Qing for a few more words, and took the order and delivered it.

After waiting in the store for a long time, Zhou Qing's order was ready, and when he picked up the takeaway and left the store, he glanced at his mobile phone, and the time was 2:47 at this time.

The destination of this ghost package is Riverside Street in the north of the city, which is only two kilometers away.

Under the dim street lamp, Zhou Qing rode an electric donkey to the north of the city, and after a while, he stopped at a bridgehead, turned around and drove into a river embankment by the bridge.

Opposite the bridge is along the river street, although the direct crossing of the bridge is the main road, but there are many more unjust roads, if you go around the river from the embankment, in crossing a small bridge, it is much closer.

The dark embankment was silent, and after Zhou Qing turned into the embankment, he turned on the headlights of the electric donkey.

The embankment is more than a meter wide, the ground is paved with gravel asphalt, and one side of the embankment is planted with dense trees, and there is a public wooden chair at intervals of several tens of meters. On the other side is a one-meter-high stone fence with a staircase leading to the river at short intervals.

Usually when he is resting, Zhou Qing will also come to this embankment to relax.

After about 200 meters of walking on the embankment, the rustle of falling leaves suddenly sounded when a burst of rain hit the leaves, and then the rain dripped down.

"What's stimulated by this god again?" Zhou Qing stopped the car, took out a raincoat from behind the electric donkey, put it on his body, and continued to walk.

After driving forward for a few dozen meters, the rustling sound of the rain turned into a boom, and the dense rain fell, narrowing his already narrow line of sight again.

The rain slapped on his cheeks and slid down his face, gradually soaking the clothes inside the raincoat, Zhou Qing squinted his eyes and turned on the horsepower of the electric donkey to the maximum.

In the middle of the rush, a cold wind blew through the rain on his face and into the wide raincoat, and he couldn't help but shiver all over.

At this moment, a vague figure appeared in his field of vision, and through the faint light, he saw that the figure was dressed in white, standing straight in the middle of the narrow road, with long black hair hanging down to his waist.

Seeing this, Zhou Qing hurriedly braked the car, and after blinking, the figure disappeared in the blink of an eye.

The weird scene couldn't help but shock Zhou Qing.

Blinking violently a few more times, he opened his eyes wide and carefully scanned the surroundings for a figure.

"Blame is born from the heart, and it is destroyed from the heart, it must have been dazzling just now. With a long sigh, Zhou Qing comforted himself in his heart, and his slightly trembling hand twisted the horsepower of the electric donkey.

After about a hundred meters of full speed, the figure did not appear this time, and his frightened mood calmed down a little.

At this time, the rain became more and more intense, and when Zhou Qing drove to the down stairs between a guard and a guardrail, the front wheel of the electric donkey seemed to be crushed into a ball of softness, and the front of the car slipped and rushed directly into the stairs down the river.

At this time, it was too late to brake, only to hear a 'plop' sound, and Zhou Qing rushed into the river with the car.

After falling into the water, he instinctively waved his arms to swim to the surface, but an invisible force suddenly appeared under his feet, dragging him straight to the bottom of the river.

After struggling underwater for a while, Zhou Qing, who had poured a few mouthfuls of water, felt despair in his heart, his waving hands gradually calmed down, and then his body slowly sank to the bottom of the river.

Before he lost consciousness, a woman seemed to appear in front of him, the woman was dressed in white and black hair, the skin on her face was swollen with blisters, and her eyes were hollow and deep, and there were no eyeballs.

......

The faint moonlight shone on the ground, and dozens of tattered straw mats covered a plain.

"Papa~Papa~"

There was a slight noise in the mountains and forests not far away, and then a humanoid ghost with a dark red body and round eyes and chiseled teeth walked out of the forest and came to the plain.

I saw him wave his big hand and uncover a straw mat.

Under the table, several lifeless corpses lay in a small dirt pit, and the hideous-looking ghosts had a happy look on their faces.

"Crunch ~ Crunch ~"

The crisp chewing sound came from the goblin's mouth, and it feasted on it.

At this moment, there was a slight sound under a straw mat not far away.

When the ghost heard the sound, it rushed towards the mountains and forests like a frightened bird.

A moment later, the straw mat that sounded loud was lifted from underneath, and a figure crawled out of the pit beneath the mat.

"It stinks!"

The smell of rotting fishy smell rushed straight into his nose, and after waking up, Zhou Qing crawled out of the corpse pit, instinctively pinched his nose with his hand, and looked at the dirt pit he had just climbed out of by the dim moonlight.

"What is this place?"

Looking at the stenching corpses under the pit, Zhou Qing thought to himself, could this be the Netherworld?

Suddenly, the night wind slapped on Zhou Qing's body, carrying the sound of crows on an old tree with a crooked neck not far away, and the feeling of chilling made him shiver.

"Am I not dead? How can I feel this way?"

The foul smell and the coolness on his body made Zhou Qing's heart tremble, and he stood up from the edge of the pit suddenly, looked up at the crescent moon hanging in the sky, and then glanced around.

At a glance, I saw that the ground around me was covered with dozens of straw mats covering the corpses.

The complicated situation made Zhou Qing at this time reluctant to think about it, he took a step forward and ran towards the outside of the pit where the corpses were piled up.

ran all the way, until he ran out of breath, and Zhou Qing stopped by a small stream.

He crouched down by the stream, washed his face with the cold water, and sat down on the rocks by the stream, staring at his hands.

"What's going on? Is it going back in time?" Looking at the child-sized palm in front of him, Zhou Qing, who was full of doubts in his heart, took off a small broken shoe on his left foot and moved the ball of his foot in front of him.

"No, it's not my body. ”

"Looks like I've crossed over. ”

Zhou Qing has a red mole on the sole of his left foot since he was a child, but there is no mole on the sole of his foot at this time.
