Urban Oddities: Strange Tales of Mountain Villages

Chapter No.16 Distress

Lin Yang opened the door violently...no one was there!

There is no one outside the door!

Lin Yang rushed to the corridor with the beer bottle, but the thing was not there, Lin Yang immediately limped towards the stairs, when he got down to the first floor, Lin Yang heard the sound of the door being pushed on the second floor.It might be the wind blowing the utility room door, or it might be something else coming out of a room.Lin Yang hurriedly unlocked the door, pulled the handle and slammed it against the door. There was a loud "bang", and the door didn't move at all. Lin Yang was dizzy, and only then remembered that there were three safety locks.Lin Yang turned his head and unlocked it. He was in a hurry. After several attempts, he finally unlocked the upper safety lock. There were two more. Lin Yang's hands were full of sweat. He wiped his pants, and when he heard some noises, Lin Yang looked back again. Go, the depth of the corner is so gray that you can’t see anything clearly, Lin Yang unlocked the middle lock, and then went to unlock the bottom one, his hand was slipping, he became more and more panicked, he caught a glimpse of something in the shadow from the corner of his eye, and he didn’t have the courage to look at it anymore , Unlocked the last lock, Lin Yang opened the door and fled out. He didn't even bother to close the courtyard door, and rushed out as if fleeing for his life.Running on the road, Lin Yang suddenly had a thought - at that time, Huang Dafa and the others were too concerned about running for their lives, and they even forgot to close the door?

The drizzle was like cotton wool flying all over the sky, falling on the body wet.There were a few villagers scattered in the distance, and Lin Yang saw Ahui walking up the slope.

"Uncle Ah Hui——Uncle Ah Hui——!!!" Lin Yang ran towards him quickly.Ah Hui often comes to the farmhouse, so maybe he can learn something.

"Uncle Ah Hui!" Lin Yang chased him down the slope, less than five meters away from Ah Hui.Ah Hui stopped in his tracks, but did not turn around.

"Uncle Ahui, do you know where the proprietress and my friends went?" Lin Yang felt very cordial when he saw the acquaintance, and wanted to tell him about the farmhouse at night, but Ahui didn't seem to respond.

Seeing reddish-brown marks on his clothes, Lin Yang immediately felt that something was wrong, stopped in his tracks, and said to Ah Hui, "Ah Hui...you, are you injured?"

Ah Hui turned his head a little dullly, and Lin Yang saw the fatal wound on A Hui's neck—a big gap bitten out by something!

Lin Yang's legs were weak at that time, and it seemed that he had run for a century in a short distance of more than ten meters. Lin Yang was covered in sweat.Ah Hui seemed to be very dull, and he turned around slowly after Lin Yang ran away. His clothes on his chest were stained red with blood, and his skin turned gray due to blood loss... He stood where he was, his white eyes dazed. He stared blankly at the direction of Lin Yang's escape.

Lin Yang felt that he saw a ghost...he must have seen a ghost!He saw the gash on Ah Hui's neck with his own eyes, an ordinary person would have died long ago!We should inform other villagers about Ah Hui's situation and draw their attention.Lin Yang believes that there is great power in numbers, and even ghosts and ghosts are not afraid of them! ... It's just that there are unexplainable contradictions in it, and when Ah Hui has become like this, the first one to find out must be Ah Hui's wife.But Ah Hui just walked in broad daylight, didn't anyone notice?What about his wife?

When Lin Yang stopped, he found himself running to the edge of the village. Fortunately, there was a villager far away. He ran towards the man and shouted: "My fellow!!! Help me, my fellow!!!" The man turned his head, Lin Yang Seeing that person's eyeballs were also white!Lin Yang had no choice but to turn around and run away, rushing into the narrow alley of the two houses in one breath, holding his chest and gasping for breath, his ankle started to hurt deeply after he stopped, Lin Yang limped while leaning on the wall.He was startled and frightened, not knowing who to turn to for help.There was a rattling sound in his ear, and Lin Yang quickly looked back, but there was nothing behind, so he held a beer bottle to face the front, and he slowly moved to the middle of the narrow alley, so that no matter if the thing came from the front or the back, he would be able to see it. Grasp the immediate reaction and flee in the opposite direction.He looked forward, and then looked back, the sound was getting closer and closer, and it was clearly right next to his ear, but he didn't see anything.Lin Yang leaned his back against the wall, paying attention to the movement with all his attention, until he heard the sound of scratching the wall from his back, and when he looked up, he saw a black figure jump out and land in front of him.The narrow alley was only as wide as two people standing side by side. When the villager landed in front of Lin Yang, Lin Yang raised his hand and knocked the beer bottle over.Lin Yang ran away after hitting him, not daring to look back.The moment the man landed just now, Lin Yang saw the other's white eyes, that was definitely not a normal person!

The black and thin villager moved quickly, like a spider in the narrow alley, chasing after Lin Yang a few times, Lin Yang only felt the wind blowing behind him, and immediately rolled on the ground like a donkey, the villagers rushed to nothing, and fell to the ground. Went outside the narrow alley.Lin Yang didn't see it well, and couldn't escape. He pushed down the trash can that was half a person high, turned around and ran in another direction by himself.A cat rolled out of the trash can.Lin Yang turned his head and saw the cat fiercely pounced on the villager... Thanks to the cat, Lin Yang quickly ran out of the narrow alley.After running out of the narrow alley, Lin Yang didn't know where to flee. Something had happened in the village. It might not be safe outside, but going back to the farmhouse was even more unsafe.Lin Yang was like a headless chicken, he chose remote places to escape, and finally fled to a high slope.The view on the high slope is wide, and you can also see the farmhouse.Lin Yang was hungry and thirsty, so he drank the water from the puddle. The water was clean, as long as it didn't stir up the mud and sand.Lin Yang took two cold medicines with water in his hand, and looked around vigilantly. He was really afraid that the villagers or cats would rush out. Fortunately, Gaopo is located in a remote place, and almost no one came here.The phone still has [-]% battery left, and Lin Yang was about to send a message to Mr. Chen, but unexpectedly a call marked as an advertisement came in. Lin Yang immediately hung up the phone without even clicking on the dialog box. There is no electricity.Lin Yang started to panic, and wanted to smoke a cigarette to calm himself down, but found that he didn't even bring a cigarette when he touched his pocket.Now the game is getting bigger, there is no smoke, no food, just being in the wild can starve him to death.It's okay that it's daytime now, but it's nighttime, he doesn't know what to do with those few small candles.He began to wonder whether he should go back to the city to find help, or go directly to the police station in the town to bring some police officers into the mountain, but the village road was cut off, and he had to walk over the steep slope to get out, which was wet and slippery, and Lin Yang fell. Once, he knew it was too difficult to walk, and he didn't know if he could pass safely without help.

Lin Yang was looking forward to seeing Mr. Chen and Assistant Su. If they were in danger, he could rush down to help them.Lin Yang stood alone on the slope for a long time, the rain became heavier again, and the sky was overcast. Lin Yang didn't know what time it was, but felt very hungry, so he quickly poured water into his stomach.Out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of a familiar figure passing by the corner, and his back looked a bit like Park Junying.Lin Yang was not sure if his eyes were dazzled, not to mention what Pu Junying was doing in the village, the way into the mountain was extremely thrilling, and he couldn't get in alone.But... what if it's really Park Joon Young?Lin Yang hesitated whether he should go down to take a look, his thoughts were mixed, he accidentally slipped and fell, and slid down like a slide, rubbing his buttocks in the mud.Lin Yang patted his butt and climbed up the high slope again. He planned to continue to observe on the slope, but his feet slipped again after climbing a few steps. Lin Yang was prepared this time, seeing that he couldn't climb up, he simply slid down.

Go check it out!Lin Yang wiped his face and thought, it's better than waiting blindly here!

Lin Yang hid all the way to the corner of the wall, but of course there was no one in the corner, so Lin Yang ran around the wall and came to the farmhouse again unknowingly.There are no villagers near the farmhouse, and in case something happens, it will be called every day and the earth will not work.Lin Yang was apprehensive, and took a quick look around. The person whose back looks like Pu Junying went somewhere, did he enter a farmhouse?Lin Yang didn't dare to go forward. He saw that the big iron gate of the yard was kept ajar. Lin Yang remembered that he didn't cover the big iron gate when he ran out. Maybe it was the wind and rain that made the iron gate close slowly. up.In fact, many doors have an automatic closing function, even if you leave it alone, it will close automatically, which is not surprising.Lin Yang wandered around for a while and then ran back to the high slope. He really didn't know what to do. He sat alone on the rock and let the rain pour down his head and face. He felt as if he had been forgotten by the world.The feeling of rainwater flowing into the eyes was extremely uncomfortable. Lin Yang wiped his eyes and continued to stare at the farmhouse. He figured that Teacher Chen should be able to find the farmhouse, as long as he waited for Teacher Chen and Assistant Su.Lin Yang picked up water and poured it into his stomach. When it rained, the puddles were a little cloudy, and Lin Yang didn't care about that much anymore. He was so hungry that he had to fill his stomach with water.While drinking water, he saw something jumping from tree to tree in the forest. It looked like a little monkey from a distance. Lin Yang was not sure if there were really little monkeys in the mountains. I have never seen a little monkey before climbing a mountain.If not a little monkey, then what is it?Lin Yang stared blankly for a while, watching those "little monkeys" jumping up and down on the big trees with lush branches, their figures looming, Lin Yang looked at them, always felt that those "little monkeys" seemed to be Jumping closer and closer, Lin Yang saw that the situation was not right, and hurriedly slid down the high slope with the wine bottle. Obviously, it was not safe here. Yang couldn't help but want to take a look, so he hid behind the broken wall and looked at the farmhouse.The farmhouse is still the same, with no light and no sound.Teacher Chen and Assistant Su haven't come yet, so I don't know where they went.The noise of wind and rain between heaven and earth covered the silence of the village.The rain got into his eyes again, Lin Yang raised his hand to rub his eyes, and while rubbing his eyes, a hand stretched out from behind and grabbed Lin Yang's shoulder.Lin Yang trembled all over, and immediately turned sideways to throw the beer bottle over. He didn't dare to look back, and still ran away after hitting him. After a few steps, he heard a dying voice behind him: "Lin Yang...?"

When Lin Yang turned his head, he saw Luo Yi clutching his chest with an uncomfortable expression on his face.It turned out that when the beer bottle was knocked over, Luo Yi turned to avoid it. Unexpectedly, Lin Yang's technique was tricky, and the beer bottle hit Luo Yi's chest all at once.Hey, I hit the wrong person, Lin Yang was both pleasantly surprised and annoyed, and hurried forward to check: "Why didn't you call me?"

Luo Yi smiled bitterly: "I really didn't expect it to be you."

"What would you do if it wasn't for me?"

"Fix you with one hand, and then beat you."

Lin Yang: "... So that's what grabbing my shoulder means."

Luo Yi rubbed his chest: "Okay, you kid... how did you learn the kung fu, hiss..."

Lin Yang didn't have the nerve to tell him that the beer bottle was unsteady and flew out...unexpectedly, he actually hit it.

Lin Yangsheng was afraid that the other party would suffer a fracture, so he frantically found the active oil.Luo Yi waved his hand to signal Lin Yang to calm down and not to panic, and told him to go to Xiangu's house, and wait until he went back to talk about anything.Only then did Lin Yang realize that they were hiding in Aunt He's house. "Go, go back and wait for me, be careful on the way." Luo Yi patted him on the shoulder and walked forward by himself.Lin Yang stopped him and asked him where he was going, Luo Yi said to go to the farmhouse to get something.When Lin Yang heard that he was going to the farmhouse, he didn't dare to let Luo Yi go.He said that the farmhouse is dangerous and cannot go in.Luo Yi knew from his description that he had met Liu Qi.

"It's okay, don't worry." Luo Yi still wanted to go, but Lin Yang couldn't stop him, so he could only limped along behind him.Luo Yi carried a long thing on his back. It was wrapped in newspaper and it was impossible to tell what it was. The length looked like a sword.Lin Yang said in shock: "Are you going to kill Liu Qi?!"

Luo Yi waved his hand and touched his chest again. It seemed that the beer bottle was quite powerful.Lin Yang picked up the beer bottle and followed behind him. The two of them went together, and Lin Yang had enough confidence.Luo Yi took a few steps and looked back, not at Lin Yang, but to see if there was anything behind him... He had to be vigilant all the time, which made Lin Yang nervous.Luo Yi walked in front, and the voice floated over: "Why are you back? It's not fun in the city?"

Lin Yang said angrily, "I miss you!"

Luo Yi smiled lowly: "You went into the mountain alone?"

Lin Yang said: "There are two more...I fell down the slope and got lost with them."

When he came to the farmhouse, Luo Yi pushed open the big iron gate.Lin Yang saw that the door of the hall was still ajar. Luo Yi walked to the door, took off the things on his back, and uncovered the newspaper. Red candles!This kind of candle is usually used for worship, and it must be something from He Xiangu's house.Luo Yi lit the candle and held it in front of him, Lin Yang wondered, "Can this candle really be used as a sword?" Luo Yi pushed open the door without turning his head and said, "No..."

"Do you want to go upstairs?"

"Go to the kitchen." Luo Yi shook the candle around, then entered the kitchen.Lin Yang understood: "This candle is used for lighting?...It's too exaggerated!"

Luo Yi handed the candle to Lin Yang, and asked him to point the candle at the kitchen door, open the refrigerator door to search for food, and said, "No, I'll explain to you when I get back."

The food Luo Yi found was only a Chinese cabbage, a few small potatoes and a bag of tomatoes. Lin Yang took a look and saw that the refrigerator was empty.Luo Yi closed the refrigerator and went to the cabinet again. After searching for a long time, he found a bag of dried noodles.Luo Yi closed the cabinet, picked up the pot lid and handed it to Lin Yang.

Lin Yang wondered: "Is this a shield???"

"Go out and cover the candle, don't let it go out."

"Dafa, are they okay?"

"Fortunately, he's guarding over there." Luo Yi signaled Lin Yang to leave. When Lin Yang came out of the kitchen, he saw the candle light shining on the stairs, and a black shadow flashed past. Lin Yang was startled. Fortunately, the shadow ran upstairs. "Don't look, let's go!" Luo Yi dragged him and ran out to the yard. Luo Yi asked Lin Yang to lift the lid of the pot to cover the candles from the rain, and he led the way.Luo Yi didn't take the main road, so he chose to go around the village. No wonder he met Lin Yang.

The rain was getting heavier and heavier, and the big raindrops hit the head and face.

"It's a good thing you're here, otherwise I wouldn't be able to take it by myself." Luo Yi went up the slope and reached out to grab Lin Yang.Lin Yang said that he could go up without him, but he slipped one step at a time.Luo Yi wanted to laugh a little: "Give me your hand." He pulled Lin Yang uphill with all his strength.Lin Yang saw something jumping in the woods, and Luo Yi saw it too, and told him, "Watch out for the candle, don't let it go out!"

The lid of the pot did a good job of keeping the rain out, at least the candle flame didn't get caught in the rain.The two hurried on their way, Lin Yang and Luo Yi didn't dare to run too fast for fear of extinguishing the flames.The flame was very strong, and it wobbled and stayed on. Unexpectedly, a gust of wind with rain blew by, and the flame flickered and went out.
