Circle in place
Weird?
Everyone paused, and Blacksmith Luo asked his subordinate: "Young man, what did you see?"
Yang Ruoqing raised her hand to stop their conversation. She walked a few steps to the side, touched a thorn bush next to her, and said to them, "It's really strange. Look at this thorn bush, does it look familiar?"
Yang Huazhong raised the wind lantern in his hand and illuminated the thorns, shaking his head blankly: "I still don't understand, what do you mean?"
Yang Ruoqing said: "Since we entered the black fog, we have been circling in circles. Counting this time, we should have circled in situ three times."
"What? Going around in circles? Three times to be precise? How is this possible!" Yang Huazhong obviously didn't believe it.
Yang Ruoqing knew that it would be difficult to convince others by just relying on her own words. Fortunately, she was well prepared.
"On the second lap, I felt something was wrong, so I quietly threw a piece of handkerchief under the thorns to mark it."
As she spoke, she knelt down and picked up a handkerchief from under the thorns. It was indeed hers!
Now, except for that subordinate, the other three people were stunned.
Old Man Zhu hunched his shoulders and leaned against Yang Huazhong, his lowered voice trembling slightly: "People in our area say that walking into the dark fog is like walking into a maze. Unless you wait for the sun to rise,
Otherwise, we will stay in the same place even if we walk here all night."
Yang Huazhong looked solemn and silent.
Blacksmith Luo's age is such that everyone grew up in the country and are familiar with the rumors in this area.
"So, this black mist is just a ghost beating the wall?" Blacksmith Luo asked.
Old man Zhu nodded, "Absolutely."
Blacksmith Luo was happy, "Haha, Old Luo, I have heard about ghosts breaking into walls since I was a child, but I still bump into it after all my life. It's a bit interesting."
"Third brother, don't make trouble. Don't be afraid, everyone. It's okay for ghosts to attack the wall. You can break this situation by peeing."
"Besides Qing'er, who among us big men will do it?" Blacksmith Luo asked again.
Yang Huazhong shook his head, "I didn't."
Old man Zhu grinned sheepishly, "Me neither."
The subordinates remained silent, kept their eyes and noses in mind, and did not participate in such matters.
Blacksmith Luo had no choice but to pass the torch in his hand to the subordinate next to him, "Sure, then I have to do it."
Everyone turned sideways.
Yang Ruoqing was also slightly embarrassed.
But when you are away from home, don’t settle for these small details, as long as they can break the situation.
Soon, Blacksmith Luo finished his work. He waved his hand and said confidently: "Okay, the situation is over, let's move on."
Old man Zhu continued to lead the way.
"Everyone, look over there. There is a big willow tree over there. The new grave is almost there under the big willow tree."
Everyone looked in the direction of Old Man Zhu's finger, and indeed they saw a huge willow tree, shadowy in all directions. Visually, the straight-line distance was only less than half a mile, so you could reach it by speeding up your pace.
"It's finally here, let me just say that peeing can break the game, right?" Blacksmith Luo was in a good mood, because it was the first time in his life that he encountered such a bizarre thing, and he also used the method he heard to break the game and lead everyone
Out of the woods.
But then the rush felt strange.
It's hazy all around, and you can clearly see the trees and thorns around you, even the potholes on the road, and even the outline of the mountains and forests farther away.
However, after walking for a long time, let alone half a mile, it was estimated that two or three miles were almost completed, and the big willow tree was still in front of the sight, and it looked like half a mile away in a straight line.
Not only that, what you see is a smooth path covered with weeds, but when you walk on it, it is bumpy and bumpy everywhere. Yang Ruoqing and her subordinates are a little better, but the other three can walk just fine.
It was difficult. He was panting heavily and stumbling. Old Zhu almost fell down several times. In the end, Yang Huazhong simply helped him walk.
After walking around, the subordinate stopped again and said, "Master, we are back again."
Yang Ruoqing smiled bitterly, of course she knew she was back again, because not only did she see the thorns, she also smelled the faint smell of urine.
"This game... why hasn't it been broken yet? Is my urine useless? Or is the method of using urine to break the game simply unreliable?" Blacksmith Luo scratched his head, very puzzled.
Old Man Zhu looked around and whispered: "You guys, did you hear the noise of children when you were walking earlier?"
Blacksmith Luo shook his head: "I didn't hear anything."
Yang Ruoqing and her subordinates also shook their heads.
Yang Huazhong said: "I seem to have heard a little bit."
Old Man Zhu said: "That's right, the ghosts fighting against the wall are those little kiddies who are very playful and are playing hide and seek with us! Brother Luo peed earlier, not only failed to break the game, but maybe he even angered those little kiddies.
, look, the journey just now was so bumpy, it reminded me of one thing. "
"Brother Zhu, what are you thinking about?" Yang Huazhong asked.
Old Man Zhu said: "Do you know about the bearded man who is coming to Da'an with me tonight?"
Yang Huazhong nodded.
Of course he did. He would remember all the enthusiastic villagers who helped him find Da'an one by one. When he came back to find Da'an, he would have to go door to door to say thank you.
"The bearded mother died when he was ten years old. His mother returned to her parents' home on a rainy day. She took a path from Guniuling to the other side of the mountain. She left in the morning and didn't come back in the evening. Waiting
When the bearded father led the villagers to find the woman, she drowned! "
"Drown? There is no river here. The river is behind the village. This area is full of hillsides. How can people drown?" Yang Huazhong asked in shock.
Old man Zhu sighed. Not far ahead, there was a small ditch. The water reached her ankles. The woman lay on the edge of the ditch and plunged her face into the water, drowning herself.
Already."
"hiss……"
Yang Huazhong took a breath.
Can you drown? Just like everyone drowns in the washbasin every day!
"Are you sure he drowned and not committed suicide?" Yang Ruoqing asked.
Old man Zhu shook his head, "The clothes on her body are neat and tidy, and she has not lost a penny in money. She has not made any grudges with anyone. We are all fellow villagers and no one can have such bad intentions."
"I'm afraid that I know people's faces but not their hearts," Blacksmith Luo said.
Old Man Zhu shook his head, "After the woman left, Big Beard's family was not at peace for a long time. Later, Big Beard's father invited a semi-immortal from that time to come over and 'walk in the shadows'. He invited the woman up and asked her how she died. She said
She was walking in Guniuling, and a river appeared in front of her. She fell down and drowned in the river. The reason why she was making a fuss was that she wanted to burn a boat for her family..."
A gust of wind blew over, as if it was blowing against the back of everyone's ears.
