The fish pond in the south of the village, the small temple behind the village, and the woods in the west of the village.
These are the three specific locations that Yang Jian got, and they are also the three properties left by his father who passed away before. If there is anything weird, then it must be in one of these three places.
But it was a bit late in the afternoon.
Yang Jian decided to go and have a look tomorrow morning. Because his relatives wanted to treat him to dinner, he couldn't refuse, so he had to go with his mother.
He was not interested in such banquets, not because he was deliberately putting on a bad air, but because he rarely attended banquets in the first place, and he was still with these strange relatives, so his status could not get in the way.
Banquets in the countryside always end very late.
After leaving the table, Jiang Yan was drunk again. She was much better this time than last time. She hugged Yang Jian's arm and smiled all the way, feeling very happy.
She felt that her chances of being with Yang Jian were very high after she showed up this time.
Therefore, we must not embarrass Yang Jian this time.
"I'll take you back to bed, you rest first, I'll go out for a walk later." Yang Jian sent her back to the second floor of the old house, the room next door where his father's portrait was kept.
"No, I don't want to sleep, I want you to stay with me."
Jiang Yan put her arms around Yang Jian's neck and spoke coquettishly. Her face was red, and she didn't know if it was because of drinking. Her bright eyes were slightly squinted, with a layer of hazy mist.
"I got drunk on purpose today."
Immediately, she secretly said into Yang Jian's ear: "Are you trying to find an excuse to run away again? I remember everything about you and Sister Qin. I will keep you here no matter what today.
If you still lie to me like last time, then I will tell your mother."
"What should I tell my mother? My mother doesn't object to me being with her." Yang Jian's face was calm, and Jiang Yan, whose face was slightly red, remained unmoved.
"No, what I want to tell Auntie is not this matter, but the matter between us." Jiang Yan bit her lip gently, looking serious and a bit affectionate.
Yang Jian said, "Nothing has ever happened between us. The only thing that has happened is that you spit in my mouth before. I don't mind if you tell me about it."
"
"Bah, that's not what happened. What I want to say is that I am pregnant." Jiang Yan said.
Yang Jian's expression remained normal as he said, "Really or not? Whose child? It's definitely not mine. I've never touched you. The relationship between us is very pure, as clean as white paper."
"You are deliberately making me angry again. You know that I am yours and you still say that."
Jiang Yan buried herself in his arms and said, "I wanted to make up a lie to deceive auntie, so that you can't get rid of me."
"Then you're not cheating? It'll be up to you how you end up with it then," Yang Jian said.
"It's very simple." Jiang Yan blushed and smiled shyly; "You just have to work hard and turn the fake into real. Anyway, the time is almost right. I am fully prepared.
.”
Yang Jian stared at her, seeming a little surprised, and seemed to be sizing her up.
Although she still looked cold, Jiang Yan was not. She looked a little nervous at the moment, her eyebrows trembled slightly, and her breathing became rapid. She seemed to be looking forward to what would happen next.
"No." However, after a moment, Yang Jian stiffly refused.
"Ah, why." Jiang Yan's face suddenly fell, and she suddenly felt extremely lost.
Obviously I dressed up carefully today.
"There is something wrong with this village." Yang Jian said; "I always feel that something will happen in this village at night. You should have seen my cousin during the day. Xiao Yuan is obviously not normal. She told me just before entering the village
Do you remember anything?"
"It seems that my cousin said she will come to see you at night." Jiang Yan whispered, suddenly becoming nervous.
Yang Jian nodded and said, "Yes, this matter may be said casually, but I am more concerned about it. I think she will definitely come to me at night."
"So you want to wait for her?" Jiang Yan looked at him and asked.
"It's not about waiting, it's about observing and paying attention to some things happening here. I have always been worried that some people or things here are involved in supernatural events, but the statements are too calm and I can't find any evidence." Yang Jian said.
, lying on the bed casually, frowning and thinking.
Jiang Yan supported her head and leaned in his arms: "That's okay, then I'll wait with you. Anyway, I'll do whatever you want me to do, just don't let me go."
Yang Jian looked down at her and remained silent.
Jiang Yan stopped making trouble now. She seemed to have calmed down, because Yang Jian did not refuse her at this moment, so she was very happy, even a little sweet.
With this thought in mind, she fell asleep very quickly after being drunk, and she slept very soundly.
Yang Jian also closed his eyes. He didn't sleep because he slept yesterday and he didn't feel tired due to his physical condition.
But as time passed slowly.
It's late at night in the village... At this time, darkness is shrouded, and the hazy street lights newly installed in the countryside are still working hard to emit light, making the darkness seem less oppressive, but the surrounding silence is a bit strange, as if
Winter is here, and even the sounds of insects are gone.
Some of the local dogs who were guarding the house also hid, curled up in their dens and took a nap.
Some villagers closed their doors early to rest.
Going to bed early and getting up early has always been the living habit of rural people.
In this quiet and peaceful village, Yang Jian's spirit gradually relaxed. He seemed to have taken a nap or a short nap late at night. He was confused for a while, but his consciousness was still there.
He is awake and can maintain his thinking.
This state may seem short-lived, but in fact it may have passed for a long time.
Until a sound woke him up.
"Cousin, are you there? Come down quickly." Cousin Madoka's voice suddenly appeared in the yard outside the building.
The sound echoed in the silent night, and it seemed particularly clear. Yang Jian, who was originally in a hazy state, suddenly woke up. His body seemed to be shaken, all his sleepiness receded, and he felt indescribably energetic.
Are you coming?
He immediately got up and walked outside to the balcony.
Look down.
A cute girl wearing a raincoat with a sweet smile was looking up at herself. It was indeed raining in the village at night. The rain was falling, sparsely and not densely, but it seemed a bit cold, damp and gloomy.
It's cold and makes people feel uncomfortable.
"Cousin, have you seen Xiao Yuan? I'm here. Come down quickly." Xiao Yuan waved her hand and shouted loudly.
Yang Jian's expression changed, and he immediately walked out: "Why are you running out so late? Don't you want to go to bed?"
"Cousin, I do this every day, and this is not the first time. Come on, let's go." Xiao Yuan said and waved to the other side: "Come out."
The girl from before came out timidly. She was also wearing a raincoat, but what was a bit exaggerated was that she actually had a knife in her hand.
A fruit knife bought in town during the day.
"You guys are here in the middle of the night, where are you going with a knife?" Yang Jian frowned suddenly, feeling that Xiao Yuan was very weird tonight.
But Madoka said with a smile: "Of course we are going to play hide and seek."
hide and seek?
The more Yang Jian listened, the more confused he became. He couldn't keep up with his cousin's thinking.
"By the way, what's your friend's name? I forgot to ask during the day." Yang Jian suddenly looked at the other timid girl.
"My name is Lin Xiaoxi." The girl greeted.
Liang Yuan took Yang Jian's arm again and said: "Hurry up, if it's a little later, that thing will find the village. Many people will be in danger by then. I don't want to be found by that thing, so
We have to get out of the village as soon as possible."
Before Yang Jian could speak, he was pulled away.
The three people walked out of the village along the road that entered the village during the day. Although it was night, there were street lights along the road, so it was not completely dark and they could not see clearly. After all, the current social development is quite fast.
When Yang Jian was a child, at this time, if there was no moonlight or starlight outside, it would basically be dark.
"There's something wrong." As he gradually walked out of the village, Yang Jian felt that his inner uneasiness was amplified.
Inexplicably, I felt that some kind of danger was approaching.
I don’t know where this danger comes from, it seems to be everywhere.
And when Yang Jian just left the village, he was on the second floor of the old house where he was.
There was a creak in the next room, and the wooden door was opened.
That room was where the portrait of Yang Jian's father was placed. On weekdays, no one lived in it and it was always closed. However, at night, the door seemed to be opened by someone inside.
There is indeed nothing wrong with that.
is a person.
A young man wearing an old-fashioned jacket walked out of a room and came to the balcony.
He looked downstairs, seemingly looking at Liang Yuan who had just shouted, and then looked towards the entrance of the village.
The moment he raised his head slightly, a clean but somewhat strange face appeared in the sunlight. It looked very similar to Yang Jian, but more like... the arrangement in the room.
Portrait on the table.
Just at this moment.
There are no so-called portraits in the room, nor any wooden table.
Just a very simple single bed.
It was as if this person had been sleeping on this single bed before, but had just been woken up by someone.
at the same time.
Yang Jian was pulled by his cousin, and the girl named Lin Xiaoxi had already walked out of the village, and was walking forward along the road out of the village.
This road is a bit long, with no end in sight, winding and twisting, the front is dim, there seems to be light, and it seems dark and deep.
"This is not the road outside the village during the day at all." Yang Jian's expression suddenly changed, and he suddenly woke up at this moment.
Have you entered the ghost realm unknowingly?
When did my alertness become so bad that I entered the ghost realm and still didn't know it?
However, when Yang Jian almost subconsciously opened the ghost eyes, he suddenly found that the ghost eyes could no longer feel... Not only that, he also found that his ghost shadow was gone, and the ghost hands were, no,
Not only was it a ghost hand, he discovered that he had no hands at all.
The palm of his left hand disappeared, like a disabled person with a broken hand.
And what frightened him the most was that he was actually very adaptable to the situation without this hand, which didn't feel strange at all.
It seemed as if the hand was broken off as a matter of course.
At this moment, it is still raining lightly in the sky, and the surroundings are cold and humid.
Yang Jian followed his cousin and the girl named Lin Xiaoxi as he walked forward, just like an ordinary person whose soul was taken away by a ghost. He was a little confused and didn't even have the heart to resist. Everything seemed so natural.
The surrounding scenery is also different from what we were familiar with during the day.
There is something weird and incomprehensible.
"What on earth is going on... Are the cousin and Lin Xiaoxi in front of me really alive?"
For some reason, Yang Jian felt a little chilly in his heart at this moment.
He seemed to have no control over all these situations and could only go with the flow. Not only did the ghosts in his body disappear, but his own condition also declined particularly seriously, just like an ordinary person who was still in school when he had not experienced supernatural events.
Students generally have all their accumulated experience and growth wiped out.
Before his doubts were revealed.
Because someone appeared on the road ahead, a strange person.
The man was standing beside the road in white clothes, with a black hood on his head, motionless, like a cold corpse.
But who would put this body in such a place?
"Xiaoyuan, do you want to take a detour?" Lin Xiaoxi asked nervously.
Xiao Yuan didn't reply to her, but just smiled. She didn't know when a fruit knife appeared in her hand, and then she ran over directly, holding the handle of the knife with both hands, and pointed it at the corpse on the roadside fiercely and quickly.
My heart stabbed me.
moment.
The entire blade of the knife was sunk into the heart of the corpse, leaving only the handle outside.
This action was repeated three times.
Heart, neck, and chest.
After stabbing her, Madoka quickly retreated. She held the knife in front of her, as if she was guarding against a counterattack.
The man wearing a black hood on the side of the road did not have blood spurting out from his wounds, but rather smelly and rich blood, which looked exactly like a dead body.
"Plop!"
The body immediately fell to the side of the road, motionless, as if it had died again.
"Okay, cousin, let's go." Xiao Yuan smiled and continued walking forward as if nothing happened.
Yang Jian was slightly absent-minded.
Is this how Madoka's skilled stabbing movements were developed during the day?
The corpse was obviously very strange.
It is even suspected to be a ghost.
Is there no problem if we just kill him like this?
Confuse.
There is still doubt in my heart.
But Yang Jian gradually began to have some suspicions about his current situation.
I shouldn't be in the real world...this place is like a dream.
