smuggler

A very old man squatted by the door of the thatched cottage, his waist was bent, his face was tanned and wrinkled, and the folds on his face almost blocked his eyes. I couldn't see his gaze.

Beside the old man was a five or six-year-old doll who also squatted on the spot like the old man.

The villagers here are all dressed in traditional clothes, and the two of them seem to be enjoying the shade at the door of their house.

The old man looked at me, without saying a word, instead he lowered his head and fiddled with the two weeds under his feet.

It was the five or six-year-old doll who looked up at me curiously.

This doll seems to have not bathed for a long time, it is dirty all over, and it holds a small figure carved out of wood in its hand.

"Master." I stood beside him and asked, "We are from out of town, so I want to ask you something?"

The old man didn't answer, as if he was deaf, and the doll also looked up stupidly, not knowing why.

I got a little hairy, coughed, suppressed the panic in my heart, pulled down Chu Yuan's sleeve, and wanted to leave quickly.

Just as I was about to take a step, the door of another thatched cottage was pushed open, and a dead woman with a pale face walked out from inside.

In front of me, the village was exposed in front, and the archway stood on top of my head. I took a deep breath, looked sideways at Chu Yuan, and said, "Don't go in, this place is wrong!"

What kind of traditional clothing is it? The style and color are clearly shrouds...

clang clang clang.
Just when I was out of my mind, there was a burst of broken gongs coming from the west of the village. The gong sound was very harsh, and it made people feel uncomfortable like a thorn in the heart.

I didn't expect to encounter such weird things one after another today.

But when I looked at me, I felt a dead breath enveloped me.

"Quick, go back, go!"

After seeing me nodding, Chu Yuan no longer entered this weird village.

Just after the woman finished speaking, the village seemed to become dark, and the lanterns hanging under the eaves suddenly lit up.

The whole village has already collapsed and dilapidated, and the surrounding area is full of desolation, but under the archway, a large group of "people" crowded under the archway and looked at me.

After being stunned for three seconds, pockmarked face let out a strange cry, ahh let out a strange cry, then turned around and wanted to run away.

When I first saw it, these villagers were still wearing very simple traditional clothes, but when I saw it now, I couldn't help being shocked.

It was the pockmarked face who said not long ago that he would take us to Niujiao Village, and now he walked on the road with a somewhat smug expression, humming a little song.

The woman didn't look very old, at most 23 or [-] years old. She squatted by the door when she went out, holding a still-weaned baby in her arms.

When the gong sounded, those who were staring blankly at me were immediately attracted, and one by one suddenly stood up from the ground.

The two of us are at the entrance of the village now, and we just walked back a few steps to the chestnut tree.

Looking at the direction the crow flew away, I resolutely said, "Go in another direction."

But now I don't care so much anymore, I turned around and headed towards the entrance of the village. When I arrived at the entrance of the village, I looked back and was dumbfounded.

This made me embarrassed and scared, and I staggered. I made Chu Yuan back a little bit, trying to bypass this row of houses and those weird people.

Seeing my state, I vaguely guessed something.

Before the words fell, a strange "wow" suddenly came from above his head.

Following the appearance of this woman, the doors of a row of thatched cottages were pushed open one after another, and those who walked out of the thatched cottage squatted at their own door without exception.

And he's a familiar face.

Chu Yuan looked at me with a strange expression, saw sweat on my forehead, and said, "You...what's wrong with you?"

"You're right, this is not the village we passed by at the beginning." I said to him with a sullen face.

But seeing Chu Yuan, looking at the two of us, the two small eyes immediately straightened.

Before I met Ma Erpo, I let him know that I have a strange ability. It may be that my expression is exactly the same as what he saw that day, so he asked me like this.

This time Chu Yuan didn't give him a chance, he went up three steps at a time, and he caught him immediately.

Every "person" has a stiff smile on his face.

"You are not from the village, what are you doing here?" The woman holding the baby finally spoke to me. Her face was indifferent and expressionless, but when I was holding the baby, I could see that she I feel pity for the child in my arms, and I love her so much.

·
My body shuddered suddenly, and I woke up in an instant. When I looked closely, I found that Chu Yuan and I were still standing at the entrance of the village.

At that moment, I took a deep breath and stepped back two steps. At this moment, those people who were squatting by the door of the thatched house slowly turned their heads to look at me. I can't tell what kind of hostility there was in their eyes. .

While hugging, patting gently, as if coaxing the child to sleep.

Under the dim red light, in the old village, a group of people stretched out their hands like zombies, all of them stared at them with numb and empty eyes.That scene is indescribably infiltrating.

I walked quickly towards the road for a while in a daze, because I didn't know the road, so I couldn't tell the direction at all.

"We passed by from other villages, visiting relatives, and got lost here." When I saw someone talking, I stopped immediately.

As soon as I finished speaking, I glanced and accidentally saw the child in her arms.

Some of them were wearing shrouds, and some were simply paper-stitched people.

There is no one behind me at all.

I greeted Chu Yuan while turning around, but when I turned around, I was completely dumbfounded.

But if you take a closer look, this is not a chestnut tree, it is simply a paper tree pasted with colored paper!

When I saw him stop, I wanted to ask him what was wrong, but when I looked ahead, I saw a person head on.

I yelled again, but there was no response. Chu Yuan disappeared at some point.

The child was motionless, as if he was asleep, but I saw that half of the child's face was completely rotten, with white bones exposed.

"Go to the side!" Chu Yuan made a decisive decision.

Immediately after the strange screams, countless black crows soared into the sky all around, flying towards one direction overwhelmingly.

"Did you see something in advance?" Chu Yuan revealed a slight incredulity on his face.

"This is not where you came from." The woman in her thirties hugged the child in her arms and said slowly, "Let's go quickly."

With a pockmarked face, he scratched and scratched at Chu Yuan. Although he grew up in the mountains, he was about the same size as me, and his body was small, which was not enough for Chu Yuan who was 1.8 meters tall.

There is only a layer of mist floating in the village, and the ghostly atmosphere reflected by the red lanterns.

The two of us walked for a while, and Chu Yuan in front suddenly stopped.

After a few thumps, he was stopped by Chu Yuan and grabbed his collar.

"Brother, I was wrong, don't hit, don't do anything..."

Seeing that he couldn't break free, Mazi gave up all of a sudden, hugged his head and begged pitifully for mercy.

"Why did you run away at first?" Chu Yuan frowned, grabbed his clothes and asked coldly.

Pockmarked face was covered with cold sweat, begging for mercy: "I... I just want to cheat some money because you two are unfamiliar and unfamiliar!"
