Luo Yin trudged through the heavy rain, shouting as he walked.

I don't know how long, I was already close to the light, and at this moment, I seemed to hear something, something like Shen Mo's voice. He quickened his pace and shouted louder.

"Shen An, I'm here!" A faint response came from the sound of heavy rain, although it was small, but Luo Yin finally heard it, it was indeed Shen Mo's voice.

In this boundless loneliness and darkness, this response seemed to give Luo Yin a hope. With confidence, he followed the sound briskly, and after about a quarter of an hour he finally spotted the carriage.

Luo Yin rushed to the carriage and saw that the carriage had stopped, and Dahan got out of the carriage to comfort the frightened horses.

"Young master, young master, are you okay?" Luo Yin lifted the curtain of the carriage and saw Shen Mo sitting in the middle of the carriage in the dark, leaning against the wall of the carriage.

"It's okay, it's okay, it's just scared. Shen Mo resisted the fear in his heart and replied, "Did those families find anything?"

Luo Yin looked around and said, "I just checked four or five households at the entrance of the village, and there was no one, but the items were neatly placed, not like those who fled from a sudden disaster. This village is a little weird, so let's not stay long. ”

Shen Mo looked at the pouring rain outside the car, and said hesitantly: "This rain is too big, and it's completely dark, so we can't go far at all." As he spoke, he pointed to the light-filled house not far ahead, "There is always a light on there, and there may be people there, or we can go and see it, and if there are people, they can spend the night." ”

Luo Yin thought about it, in this rainy night when he couldn't see his fingers, he really couldn't hurry, if someone could spend the night, it would be better than spending the night in the wind and rain. But thinking of the strangeness of this village, he secretly decided that he must always be vigilant.

"Uncle Liu, let's go to the house where there is a light. Luo Yin took out an umbrella from the car, took out another lantern and lit it, turned his head to the big man and said.

"Okay, then go check it out. The big man didn't want to stay long in this dark village, so he agreed, and led his horse slowly to that place.

When I arrived at the door of the house, I found that this house was quite small, and under the dim light of the lantern, I could see a plaque hanging on the door, and I could vaguely see the word Zhao Fu.

"Is there anyone, is there anyone, is there a ......" Luo Yin came to the door and knocked on the door, and the sound of banging and shouting echoed in the rain.

After shooting for a long time and there was no response, the three of them were a little uneasy, but the lights kept on in an unmanned house, which was not a good sign.

Luo Yin stopped knocking on the door and said to Shen Mo: "Young Master, it seems that there is no one here, let's leave this village and ......"

As he spoke, there was a squeak, and the door opened.

Luo Yin looked back at the gate, only to see a red lantern poking out of the gate, and through the light of the lantern, he saw an old man dressed in black walking out of the door. The old man's face was furrowed, and he looked like he was seventy or eighty years old.

When the three of them saw the appearance of this old man, they were really startled when they looked at it, and the big man shouted directly: "You, you, you, are you a human or a ghost?!"

The old man looked at Luo Yin and the three people at the door, ignored the big man, and asked, "What are you doing here?"

The three of them looked at each other, feeling that although the old man looked old, he didn't look like a ghost, and his heart was a little relieved.

Luo Yin took a few steps forward, saluted the old man and replied: "I've seen my husband, my young master is a talented man who entered Zhou City to take the exam, because it is late and it is raining raining, I want to spend a night in your mansion, I don't know if my husband may be convenient?"

The old man glanced at Shen Xiucai behind Luo Yin and said, "It turns out that it is a talented and talented person, which is really disrespectful." If you want to spend the night, there is nothing you can't do, but this village is quite unstable, and the three of them should leave quickly, so as not to lose their lives. ”

Hearing the old man's words, Luo Yin's heart tightened, there was really a problem with the secret way, it seemed that I was not too careful. Then he asked the old man for advice: "Dare to ask the old man, I don't know what is uneasy in this village, please tell me, if it is within our ability, we can also help you." ”

The old man urged: "Don't ask, let's leave quickly, otherwise you won't be able to leave again!"

Shen Mo and Shen Xianggong, who had never spoken up, walked out from behind Luo Yin at this time, saluted the old man, and pleaded: "Old man, look at this day, it's completely dark, and it's pouring rain, I really can't hurry, and I ask the old man to do it." ”

The old man hurriedly said: "If it weren't for the old man's stinginess and refusal to take you in, he really couldn't keep you here, so as not to harm you." ”

Seeing that the old man still did not agree, the three of them pleaded again, and the old man finally nodded and agreed: "Hey, that's it, that's it, you guys come into the house with me, and the old man will tell you why." ”

After that, the old man introduced Shen Mo, Luo Yin, and Dahan into the house and closed the door.

In the living room, the handheld lamp illuminates the hall, which makes the three people who have been in the dark for a long time dispel a little chill. After sitting down, Luo Yin hurriedly asked the old man what happened.

The old man sighed and said, "When a few people came into the village, did they find that there was silence in this village, and there was no one?"

Dahan hurriedly replied: "That's true, no one can see it, it's very scary." I used to come to this village a few years ago, and it has a lot of population and some bustle, how did it become like this now?"

The old man looked at the candle flame and paused for a while before saying: "The surname is Zhao, this village is called Zhaojia Village, and there were originally more than 100 families in the village, nearly 1,000 people. The old man's family is a large family in the village, and there are dozens of people in the house, which is usually quite lively. ”

"A few years ago, people in the village began to disappear for no apparent reason. At first, everyone thought that they had left home and did not take it seriously, but then more and more people disappeared, and the whole village fell into panic. The old man was an elder in the village, and he thought that he had recruited some demons, so he invited the mage to come and check ......"

When Shen Xiucai heard this, he interjected and asked, "Since you invited the mage to come, have you found anything abnormal?"

The old man smiled bitterly: "I didn't find anything abnormal, because the mage disappeared silently the night he arrived in the village." ”

Hearing this, Shen Xiucai's face suddenly turned a little pale, and his hand clutched the corner of his clothes tightly, if he couldn't understand what the unrest in this village was, it would be too stupid.

Luo Yin's heart gradually became uneasy, and he asked, "Then what happened after that?"

Two lines of turbid tears in the old man's eyes flowed down the old man's face, he raised his sleeves and wiped his tears, and after a while, he said with a little choked: "The day he found out that the mage was also missing, the old man thought it was too weird, so he asked his children to pack up their belongings and leave the village quickly, who knows...... Who knows......"

Shen Xianggong hurriedly asked, "Could it be that someone in my father-in-law's family is also missing?"

The old man's tears slipped down again, and he whimpered: "It's someone who is missing, but not one, the whole village is missing except for the old man, and all of them are gone......"

When Luo Yin heard this, he was shocked and frightened, and turned his head to look at Shen Mo, and Shen Mo also looked at Luo Yin at this time, and both of them read the fear and worry in each other's eyes.

The old man continued: "The old man searched everywhere, searched the whole village, searched the surrounding mountains and forests, but he didn't find anyone, and everyone disappeared like this! The old man had all disappeared and had nowhere to go, so he had to continue to live in this village. ”

"I guess maybe I'll be next, and I'll be able to go with my family at that time, and hope that maybe one day they'll show up. However, for some reason, a few years have passed, and the old man is still safe and sound, and the missing villagers and their families have not returned. ”

When Shen Mo heard this, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that maybe the matter that caused people to disappear for no reason was over, and he and the others might be fine.

Luo Yin asked, "I wonder if there have been any disappearances in the past few years?"

The old man replied, "Zhaojia Village is located in a remote area, and there is only one small road to communicate with the outside world, so there are not many people who have passed by and stayed here in the past few years. Some disappeared after just passing by, while others stayed overnight and left safely. ”

Saying that, he looked at Shen Mo, "Shen Xianggong, you better leave quickly, don't lose your life for no reason." ”

Shen Mo looked outside the house, it was pitch black, and the rain was pouring down, and he asked Luo Yin with some embarrassment: "Shen An, what do you think?"

Luo Yin was faintly uneasy when he first arrived in this village, and when he learned of the strange events that had happened here, he didn't want to stay any longer, so he replied: "Young master, let's leave quickly, leave this village first and then find a place to shelter from the rain!"

Shen Mo saw that his scholar and guard wanted to leave, and he was also a little panicked in his heart, so he also made up his mind, "Okay, leave this village first." Uncle Liu, you go and lead the carriage. Uncle Liu, where is Uncle Liu?"

Shen Mo was about to leave, so he beckoned the driver to drive, but when he turned his head, he found that the big man who was sitting next to him had disappeared, and he was suddenly scared.

At this time, Luo Yin also reacted, immediately pulled out a long knife, looked around, and sure enough, the big man beside him disappeared at some point, and a deep chill seeped into his heart.

A big living person disappeared silently beside him, and he didn't even notice it.

When did he disappear, how did he disappear? Could it be that he went out?

Thinking of this, Luo Yin hurriedly asked, "Did Uncle Liu go out, did you see it?"

Shen Mo's face turned pale, and he said in a slightly trembling voice, "After entering the living room, he sat on my left hand, and I heard him speak just now, but I didn't see him leave at all." ”

The old man also said hurriedly: "The old man didn't see anyone leave, and it wasn't until Shen Xianggong talked about the old man that he found out that he was gone." ”

After Luo Yin heard this, he shouted the name of the big man in the hall, but there was no response except for the echo and the sound of rain.

Such a strange situation made Luo Yin's heart chill, and he felt as if he had a pair of eyes staring at him all the time, and no one knew when it would be the next turn or who would be next.

The old man sighed and said, "It's all my fault, if you don't let you in, maybe you can escape by leaving quickly...... Shen Xianggong, you two hurry up, maybe you may still be able to escape!"

Luo Yin glanced at the old man and said, "Now that we have been targeted, if we go out, the black light will kill us." We're just waiting here, it's safer than going out. ”

As he spoke, he looked at Shen Mo, and he still had to make up his mind whether to go or stay.

Shen Mo saw Luo Yin looking at him, thought about it, and felt that what Luo Yin said was also reasonable, going out in this kind of weather was more dangerous, and staying here might still have a chance of life. Thinking of this, he nodded to Luo Yin.

Luo Yin asked the old man for some candles, lit them and placed them around the living room, and the whole living room was completely lit up.

After doing this, the three of them sat around and kept an eye on each other in case anyone disappeared for no apparent reason......
