Chapter 208 'The Living'

the other end.

Su Yang wore a stealth cloak and walked around every empty tile-roofed house. Every time he entered a house, there was no sign of anyone, not even ordinary tableware, daily necessities, tools, etc. .Some only have a bed, a table and a few wooden stools.

Shabby.

This is Su Yang's evaluation of this village.

And it's not just as simple as picking up leaks, even the only furniture is already covered with spider webs at this time, and a full two centimeters thick layer of dust has accumulated on the ground, which shows how long no one has lived here.

But in the small town, there are still people holding funerals?
Where did those people come from?

There is a problem, and the problem is very serious!
At this moment, Su Yang noticed that Lin Yu and others walked to the place where the funeral was held, and seemed to have begun to ask something.Moreover, at this moment, the paper figurines below them, who were not moving at all, were also twisting their limbs strangely, moving slowly as if their scalps were numb.

Seeing this scene, Su Yang didn't know whether it was good or bad.

In short.

"It seems that the key to cracking this illusion lies in these people."

……

When they saw the old man guarding the door, Mr. Wang saluted and bowed very respectfully.

There's a lot of tradition in the country, and especially in this case, there's nothing wrong with a little tradition.

After the ceremony, Mr. Wang said to the old man, "I'm really sorry, old man, we are tourists from other places, and we accidentally lost our way in the mountains. There is really no way to bother you."

The old man sitting at the door looked to be in his 70s, with drooping eyelids, and his eyes were so cloudy that he could hardly see them clearly.There are very deep wrinkles on both the face and hands, but it is strange that for such an old man, her nails are very long and gray, which looks very strange.

But Mr. Wang doesn't think so, after all, he has also seen many strange people, and it is not surprising that people in some places may have such customs.

After listening to Mr. Wang's words, the old man nodded slightly, and then slowly said: "It's a lost person, then you are lucky. On this mountain, many things climb out at night, and you can walk here. It's also fate."

Hearing the old man's words, everyone couldn't help but feel a chill down their spines.

They did encounter a lot of unimaginable things, even before they came to this village, they almost died under the rats. According to the old man's implication, it seems that there are still many unknown dangers in that mountain.

It's just too infiltrating!
Li Xiangyu said quickly: "What the old lady said is true. We encountered a lot of mice just now, and we almost died here."

The old man said lightly: "Since you are in our village, don't worry, you will be much safer when you leave after daytime."

Hearing this, the four of them almost all said happily: "Thank you, old lady!"

The old man stood up slowly from the chair, and Li Xiangyu, who was also sharp-eyed, hurried up to support him, just like the old man's own granddaughter.

The old man said with a smile: "Come with me, but we may be a little noisy tonight, as long as you don't mind."

Mr. Wang quickly waved his hands: "I don't mind, I don't mind, we are very grateful to you for being able to stay for one night."

They narrowly escaped death, and finally saw a family willing to let them stay for one night, even if they quarreled, they still had to stay.

Only by hiding in this village can they feel a sense of security.

Under the leadership of the old man, the four came to the open space where people mourned.

In the center of this clearing, there is a large fire for burning money paper. The fire is very strong, almost three meters high!This fire was the fire they saw when they first fled outside.And in the main room facing the open space, there are also two flames burning paper money. It seems that there is a traditional saying that the fire inside and outside the main room cannot be extinguished all night.

As for the reason, they couldn't tell.

Sometimes they also feel that they know too little about certain traditions that have been passed down.

Just as they were walking into the house, there was a sudden shout from behind.

"Hey! Wait for me, wait for me!"

At this time, a figure ran over in embarrassment, everyone looked at it, isn't this Xu Qiang?

Is he still alive?

When Xu Qiang walked over with a painful expression on his face, he said with a sigh of relief: "You guys are too mean! Fortunately, I lit the dry grass on the ground in the end, and the group of mice ran away after seeing the fire. Otherwise, I might not be able to come back."

The corner of Mr. Wang's mouth twitched and said: "At that time, there was no way to worry about anything else. Besides, didn't you come back safe and sound? It's okay. We can go back after tonight."

Xu Qiang didn't speak, just snorted coldly, and slowly followed behind.

Seeing that they seemed to be acquaintances, the old man led them slowly into the hall without saying anything.

Most people in the hall lowered their heads, not knowing what they were thinking, while the two in front were tearing up paper money with dull faces.

This kind of atmosphere is very strange. They all heard loud crying and howling before they came here, but now no one makes a sound, and even everyone's movements are almost the same.

It has to be said that after experiencing what happened on the mountain, they all became a little suspicious.

At this time, Lin Yu seemed to have noticed a portrait in the hall, and he said only after he realized: "Do you think this portrait looks familiar..."

The old man hunched his back and said calmly: "That is my grandson. He went up the mountain two days ago, but because he came back late, he finally died on the mountain."

Obviously, this funeral was held for him.

However, after hearing the old man's call, their expressions became even more horrified, because the person on the portrait looked exactly like Su Yang!
"Then what we saw on the mountain..." Lin Yu's voice trembled.

Mr. Wang patted Lin Yu on the shoulder quickly, and said softly, "don't say it, it will be fine after tonight."

After finishing speaking, the old man led the five people past, came to a separate room, and slowly opened the door.

Pushing open the door, there was a 'creaking' sound.

The four looked over.

What kind of room is this?Even the utility room shouldn't be this messy, should it?Not to mention the dimness inside, there was a big smell of dust even before walking in, not to mention a pile of spider webs that made people feel very troublesome.

Mr. Wang turned around strangely and said, "Old man, it doesn't look like a place where people can live?"

But when he finished speaking and turned around, goosebumps all over his body immediately stood up.

At this moment, all the faces of all the people present were looking at the four of them, and each of them was extremely pale, like a dead person.What makes the scalp tingle the most is that all of their eyes are completely dark, and it can even be said that they have no eyeballs at all!
Mr. Wang staggered back in fright.

Immediately afterwards, bursts of chilling laughter came from the entire house...
