Time passed in an instant, and the rickshaw man stopped panting. At this time, he had arrived in front of Hengxi Village.
Looking at the quiet village, there are only a few houses with lights on, and not a single person can be seen on the road. The street lights are flickering with a faint light, as if they have been in disrepair.
"Classmates are already here." The uncle put down the handlebar in his hand, took the white towel hanging around his neck and wiped his face, then turned to Li Tian with a smile and said.
Seeing this, Li Tian stepped out of the rickshaw, then took out his communicator and signaled to pay, "Thank you, uncle, how much is it?"
The uncle smiled naively and took out his own contact device, "I didn't charge you for the ten mission points. If you don't believe it, you can ask when you go back. If it's too expensive, I will refund your money then.
"
He really didn't charge Li Tian more money. For ten mission points, if he were another rickshaw worker, he wouldn't be willing to take him so far. Moreover, he would have to run empty-handed when he got back, which was equivalent to a loss of business.
Li Tian smiled softly, "It's not expensive, it's not expensive. Thank you very much for this trip." After saying that, he turned the task point to the uncle's contact device.
Immediately afterwards, he ran into Hengxi Village and did not stay outside any longer.
The rickshaw man was stunned when he saw the fifty task points transferred on the communicator, thinking that Li Tian had transferred the wrong number.
"Classmate, you transferred too much money!" He hurriedly shouted to Li Tian, wanting to return the extra mission points.
Li Tian turned around with a smile and waved his hand to him, "There is also your travel expenses back. You have worked hard too. Go back and rest early today."
After that, he said no more, turned around and continued walking towards the village.
The rickshaw man didn't leave for a moment, and shook the communicator in his hand. This was the first time he felt care from a student in the college. Those students in the past had always been dissatisfied with this, just like Zizhong...
Li Tian walked slowly along the path of the village. The moon hung high in the sky, and the silky moonlight gave the quiet village an eerie feeling.
It was so quiet that he felt a little flustered for no reason. He would look back from time to time, always feeling like someone was spying on him in some dark corner.
Maybe it's an illusion caused by fear.
There was a house in front with the lights on, and there were faint sounds of conversation. Seeing this lively scene, the panic in his heart immediately dissipated a lot.
Without thinking much, he quickly ran towards the house and was in front of the door in a blink of an eye.
He looked at the dilapidated wooden door and slowly stretched out his hand to knock on it a few times.
Dong-dong-dong, "Is anyone home?" Li Tian's voice was not loud enough to be heard in the house.
As he knocked on the door, the conversation in the room suddenly stopped.
Then, a woman's voice came softly, "Master, who else is coming to our house this late at night? The incident in Washington DC a while ago has not yet passed, so we have to be careful."
Then a man's voice immediately interrupted him, "Don't think about it. What can happen to us ordinary people? Maybe they are neighbors. You are in the room."

Wait in the room, I'll open the door and have a look."
Following the words, a burst of soft footsteps slowly sounded from the room.
The man walked to the door, opened it slowly, and took a closer look. He saw a slightly immature boy standing at the door, staring at him, with a panda eye on his left eye.
..
He was slightly taken aback, what kind of look is this? Curiously, he asked, "Who are you?"
When Li Tian saw that the man in his early thirties finally opened the door, he directly stated his intention: "Hello, brother, I am a student of Lingtian College. I am here for Washington. Some of my classmates have been arrested."
I'm stuck there, can you show me the way?"
When the man saw that Li Tian was actually going to Washington, his expression suddenly changed. He stuck his head out of the door and took a look. Seeing that no one else was following him, he quickly pulled Li Tian into the room and immediately closed the door.
.
"Brother, what are you doing?" Li Tian didn't know why, so he was pulled into the house inexplicably.
The man did not reply to him immediately, but pulled him to a chair in the room and motioned for him to sit down.
Then he sat on the other side of him, looked at him with a slightly solemn expression and said, "Little brother, you can't go there at night. If you want to find classmates, it's safer to go during the day. It's very fierce there during this time, and it's still very dangerous at night."
From time to time, various cries can be heard, which are very permeable. Maybe they are the ghosts of those in Washington. So, if you don't mind, just stay here with me for one night, and we'll talk about it in the morning if you have anything to do."
Li Tian actually regretted it when he came to this village. Now that he saw what he said was so scary, he couldn't help but feel frustrated. But he could find Wan Xiaoqing and the others right before he saw it, and he didn't want to give up so easily.
, at least go and take a look.
He lowered his head and thought for a moment, and finally made up his mind. If Wan Xiaoqing and the others were killed because of his failure to go today, he might never be able to let it go in his life.
He calmed down, smiled at the man in front of him, and said, "Thank you for your kindness, brother, but those two classmates are very important to me. I must go and take a look. Besides, I am a practitioner.
If something happens, just show me a way."
The man heard this and looked at his panda eyes. He didn't look like a cultivator...
But seeing his firm tone, it was hard to stop him. After all, his legs were already on his body, so he couldn't stop him if he wanted to leave.
He nodded, "That's alright, I won't stop you then. When you go out, walk forward along the street, turn right at the second fork, and then walk straight to the end to reach Washington. If you feel
If something is wrong, then run back quickly and I will know as soon as you knock on the door."
The man told Li Tian earnestly and hoped that he could come back safely.
Ordinary people are still simple and honest, Li Tian thought, and then he agreed.
The man stood up, opened the door and watched Li Tian leave, then closed the door tightly.
At this time, the woman in the room heard the sound of the door closing and knew that the man had left just now, so she walked out of the room. She was wearing a pink cloth coat. It was obvious that there was a bit of coolness in the night and she was afraid of catching a cold.
"Head of the family,
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
Who was that just now?" she asked doubtfully.
The man sat back down where he was before, looked at the curious woman, then sighed and said to her, "He is a student of Lingtian Academy and is going to Washington."
The woman looked surprised and continued, "Isn't there something haunted there?"
The man nodded, "I heard he said that two classmates were trapped inside, but I'm afraid it's more serious than the worst." As he said that, he waved to the woman, and then continued, "You go to bed first, I'm here."
If you wait for a while, he might come back."
The woman looked at his man and sighed slightly, then said nothing more, turned around and walked back to the room.
She knew her man's character, he was honest and honest, and he usually did a lot of things to help others. She knew she couldn't persuade him, so she let him sit outside.
She went to the room and poured a cup of hot water for the man to send out, then went back to sleep.
...
Li Tian followed the man's guidance and soon reached the second fork. Without thinking much, he turned right onto the next street.
For some reason, the wind suddenly started blowing in this originally peaceful night, and the fallen leaves nearby were rustled on the ground.
He tightened his thin coat and looked around warily, the vague sense of voyeurism reappearing.
No one on this street had lights on anymore, and the night seemed even weirder. A streetlight on the road ahead still flickered from time to time, and there was a slight sizzling sound of electricity.
It was such a dark and windy night for killing people, Li Tian thought to himself. There were many times that he almost turned around and ran away, but he still managed to hold on and get to where he is now.
"Meow~" A sharp cat meow suddenly came from a dark corner beside him, and a black cat quickly passed in front of him, and soon disappeared into the shadow of the night.
This sudden cry scared him so much that he almost screamed. His whole body shivered uncontrollably, and then his heartbeat accelerated uncontrollably. Bang bang bang, bang bang bang. In this quiet night, the heartbeat sounded loudly.
Extremely intense.
"Dead cat." He whispered angrily, obviously frightened and a little angry by the scene just now.
Walking onto an old stone bridge, there is a big house not far ahead, and Washington is right in front of you.
The breeze blew through the small river under the bridge, reflecting the bright moonlight, causing ripples and sparkling white light, reflecting onto his slightly pale face.
He stopped and looked under the bridge, then took a deep breath and tightened his tight coat again.
"Miss Xiaoqing, I'm here!" Her tone was firm, as if she was giving herself a final boost.
He walked resolutely and slowly, step by step, towards the eerie and eerie house in front of him.
The wind sounded again, and the fallen leaves on the ground were blown again to make a rustling sound. It was accompanied by a faint cry, like a woman's voice, and like a child. The surrounding temperature was as he approached Hua Hua.
It instantly dropped a lot when I was in the house.
The goosebumps on Li Tian's hands could not help but stand up. The thin coat could no longer keep him warm.
