The car was on the right track again and drove towards Banruo Village at a normal speed. It was about eight o'clock in the evening when the two arrived at the head of the village. Xu Youtan took Bo Yi and walked towards his house. Rural people go to bed early. At this time, the doors of every house are closed, and only the dim yellow lights in the room can be seen through the windows.

Since entering university, Xu Youtan has gone home once a semester, and it has only been less than two months since the start of school, but he feels that the surrounding environment has become a little strange, nothing has changed, but the sense of familiarity is missing.

His home was at the end of the village, farther away from other residents in the village, and the two of them walked along the road to where Xu's family was located.

Walking past the last village house, Xu Youtan began to doubt his eyes for a moment. Under the bright moonlight, there was an open space overgrown with wild grass in front of him. Covered with tall weeds, there is no trace of a house.

"how is this possible?"

"What's wrong?" Bo Yi saw that Xu Youtan's expression was wrong.

"Bo Yi." Xu Youtan turned to look at him blankly, "My family is gone, what about my parents?"

Bo Yi immediately understood what he meant, and knew that this matter was abnormal, so he reminded, "Call them first."

One word awakened the dreamer, Xu Youtan immediately picked up the mobile phone and dialed the number of his parents. Unexpectedly, and within reason, no one answered the phone. Not only that, but there was another burst of "Zizizi... "The electric current sound was the same as the last time Xu Youtan called Xu's mother.

Xu Youtan tried again several times, but it was the same situation. He stuck the phone to Bo Yi's ear, and Bo Yi could only hear intermittent noises from it.

"Do you know what's going on?" Xu Youtan's heart turned extremely cold in an instant, and he pinned his hopes on Bo Yi.

Unexpectedly, Bo Yi shook his head desolately, "I don't know, I didn't notice anything strange around me, it shouldn't be the work of ghosts, and I can't tell the reason at the moment." Bo Yi looked at Xu Youtan who was in a daze , "It's not an option to stand here and wait now. Let's find a homestay for the night and come back tomorrow."

Xu Youtan was silent for a while, and then said to Bo Yi, "Let's go."

The two found a hotel at the head of the village, and walked in. The proprietress was a middle-aged woman in her 40s. Her husband was working in the city, and her son was also studying there. So she stayed alone in the village to run a small hotel to support her family.

Maybe it's because she doesn't need to work in the fields, her skin is well maintained, and her complexion is better than that of ordinary village women who do farm work. She looked at the two of them with scrutiny, "Outside the village?"

From the beginning to the present, Xu Youtan looked lost. He asked in a daze, "Do you know me?"

The proprietress was a little puzzled why he would ask such a question, she shook her head and replied, "I don't know."

Disappointment flashed across Xu Youtan's eyes.

Bo Yi saw everything, he asked the proprietress to open two rooms, and after paying the deposit, they took two keys and walked up to the second floor with their luggage.

Bo Yi didn't go back to his room right away, but sat beside Xu Youtan, "Tell me about your analysis, and I'll see if I can find any clues from it."

Xu Youtan remained expressionless, and he said slowly, "My memory is unmistakable, everything here has not changed, the houses, trees, paths... are still the same, only my family and my parents have disappeared, this homestay I have met the proprietress, because I must pass by here every time I go to school from the village. Although I haven’t spoken to each other, I have called her several times. It is reasonable to say that she would not know me, but her expression does not look different. Like lying."

Bo Yi said, "She really didn't lie."

Xu Youtan went on to say, "I called my mother a few days ago, and it was the weird current at first, but later, she called me back, and we haven't been in touch since then."

Bo Yi rested his chin and pondered for a moment. This incident was indeed a bit bizarre and beyond his expectations. He said softly to Xu Youtan, "Take a bath first, take a nap, recharge your energy, and the rest Let’s talk about it tomorrow.”

Xu Youtan sat without moving for a long time, the feeling of the sudden disappearance of his relatives hit him too hard.

"Bo Yi, I have an uneasy feeling that my parents will never come back."

Bo Yi has never seen him so lonely, "Don't think too much before the truth comes to light, because I'm still here."

Under such circumstances, it was impossible for Xu Youtan to fall asleep, and Bo Yi did not go back to his room, but just accompanied him silently, without sleep all night.

……

The next day, the two of them went door-to-door and asked them all the same answers. They had never met Xu Youtan, and the end of the village was always uninhabited, and there was no family of three surnamed Xu in the village.

I found nothing all morning, so I had no choice but to go back to the hotel for lunch.

Both of them had no appetite, so the two of them ordered a bowl of fried rice, and the proprietress brought out the plate quickly, and while moving the fried rice from the plate to the table, she asked casually, "What are you two doing here? "

"Come here to find a relative, but unfortunately I don't know where they moved to." Bo Yi thought that she might know something, so he made up a reason.

Gossip is almost human nature, the proprietress pulled the chair beside her and sat down, and began to chatter, "This place is only so big, I know everyone, who are you two looking for?"

Bo Yi asked, "Do you know that there is a family named Xu here? About ten years ago, they lived at the end of the village."

The proprietress thought for a moment, and then slowly said, "When you say this, I really have a little impression. It seems that there is such a family, and the couple's looks are very outstanding, so I still remember some."

Hearing this sentence, Xu Youtan suddenly raised his head, with excitement in his tone, "What do you know?"

The proprietress was taken aback, "About 17 years ago, when I was just married here, the Xu family happened to land in the village. When the couple came, the woman had a big belly, and she seemed to be about to give birth. A beautiful baby boy was born, but the family moved away suddenly ten years ago, and the house disappeared miraculously, as if it never existed, just like what you see when you go to the end of the village now.

Bo Yi asked, "Did anything unusual happen in that village after they came?"

The proprietress shook her head, "No, on the contrary, it's more peaceful than before."

The matter finally had some clues, a glimmer of hope rose in Xu Youtan's heart, he asked Bo Yi, "Do you know what's going on?"

Bo Yi said, "I don't know yet."

Seeing that they didn't look like they were looking for relatives, the proprietress looked suspiciously back and forth between the two of them, with doubts shining in her eyes.

Bo Yi ignored her gaze and just asked, "Are there any older legends in this village?"

"If you want to talk about the legend, it's the deep mountain behind the end of the village. It is said that an eminent monk was buried in it very early."

Bao Yi said, "The existence of legends has a certain causal relationship. Is the name of the village related to this eminent monk?"

The proprietress was a little surprised by Bo Yi's opinion, "You are right, there is indeed a connection."

"It is said that thousands of years ago, there was no village here. An eminent monk once realized the Dharma here and became the closest person to the Buddha. He was born from here and died from here. He finally sat on the top of the mountain and became a Buddha. The word comes from Buddhist scriptures. Because of this legend, the country people have no culture, and it sounds good, so it has been handed down and become the name of the village. However, it may really be blessed by the Buddha. Over the years, nothing major has happened in the village. "

Xu Youtan faintly felt that this legend was so inextricably linked with the bizarre things that happened to him. He looked at Bo Yi, and a trace of clarity appeared on the latter's face. back to the house.
