The train was whining on the railway tracks that cut through the mountains. The train was so crowded that even the sleeper berths couldn't fill up their tickets. If it weren't for the strong smell in the toilet, Thirteen almost pressed inside. Fortunately, the front of the train door was not occupied.
, Thirteen also brought camping equipment, so he directly spread a nylon mat on the ground and sat on the ground. Although the sound of the interface was loud, it was better than the smell of sweaty feet mixed with 16 kinds of smells in the car.
Thirteen is actually not that picky. Besides, leaning against the car door and looking up, the window is filled with stars and the moon is shining brightly. It feels like traveling!
At midnight, when almost everyone on the train was sleeping in a coma, Lin Xi opened the cabin door and came to Shisan's side, holding two bottles of fruit beer in his hands.
"What are you doing? Your position will be taken away!" Thirteen said in shock when he saw Lin Xi.
"It's already occupied. The old ***'s grandson wanted to lie down to sleep, so I gave up my seat to them. The child was very cute and kept calling, 'Sister, sing to me.'" Lin Xi handed over a can.
He gave the fruit beer to Thirteen and sat down next to Thirteen on the floor.
"Tch, the little brat who called me uncle just now actually calls you sister. Do we seem to have such a big age difference?" Thirteen opened the beer and drank it. The sweetness of the fruit suppressed the bitterness of the beer. This
Should be considered the cheapest cocktail bar?
"It feels like it's been a long time since the two of us have been so quiet. There are always other people around us to disturb us, and we are always running around non-stop. Danger always surrounds us, making people breathless." Lin Xi leaned against her
On the metal wall, looking at Thirteen opposite, he smiled.
"This is how the life of an investigator is. If you don't get used to it, just go back and become a rich lady." Thirteen never misses any opportunity to attack Lin Xi.
"Stop trying to get rid of me. Just think of me as a plaster. If I tear it off, I have to tear off a layer of your skin." Lin Xi activated his rogue attribute, "Actually, you are quite good at taking care of others. Although you don't want to admit it, you are
This kind of man is very lovable. When you take care of and worry about someone, your eyes are very clear and you are worried from the bottom of your heart."
"I won't marry you even if you praise me. I am a man destined to marry a woman of 36d or above. I will never fall down on your airport." Thirteen said with a sneer.
"No matter what you say, I will still stay by your side and never leave you." Lin Xi smiled while drinking fruit beer.
A lonely man and a woman lived together in a narrow corridor. That night, Lin Xi fell asleep on the floor. Thirteen didn't want some plots that he couldn't control to happen when he fell asleep in the middle of the night and the books were harmonized, so he always leaned against the iron carriage.
Stay awake.
This was definitely the most painful train journey Shisan had ever experienced. His butt did not turn into four pieces. When he finally got off the train at the station, he just felt that his butt no longer existed. If he happened to meet a gay at this time,
With my brother behind me, I believe Shisan won’t feel any pain.
Carrying hiking bags, Shisan and Lin Xi, a special pair of tourists, walked out of the station. It took them 2 hours to find the long-distance bus station where they transferred. By the time they got off the bus, it was already 3 pm the next day.
…
From this time on, they no longer feel much of the city's atmosphere. The mountains surrounded by muddy paths, the green forests, and the children who don't like wearing shoes show a simplicity that is not found in the city. It's just ordinary.
Breathing feels like drinking spring water that moistens the throat and nourishes the lungs. When the people of the imperial capital come here, they feel as comfortable as coming from hell to heaven.
After a short rest in the town, they got on a tractor heading to another municipal government near Huaizhai. It was really a tractor. In addition to Shisan and Lin Xi, there were four old sisters-in-law with their children on the car. Shisan because
Because those brats robbed a lot of candies, everyone quickly became familiar with each other.
There are many stories in these rural villages. A group of old sisters-in-law are the "Weekly" of the countryside. There are many kinds of gossips. They know who is kicking the widow's door in the middle of the night and whose widow is the most beautiful.
They were very enthusiastic about these tourists from big cities and invited Thirteen to their homes one after another.
But when Shisan said they were going to Huaizhai, the expressions of the old sisters-in-law immediately changed. They even hugged the dolls and stopped letting them get close to them.
"Sisters, what do you think of Huaizhai? We came here for an outing after hearing someone's recommendation. We are not familiar with the place, so we hope our sisters can give us some advice." It's not surprising that there are so many people in Thirteen Rites.
"Since you call me sister, I can't harm my younger brothers and sisters." The eldest of the four sisters-in-law, a woman in her 50s, said in a low voice, "Actually, Huaizhai is very evil..."
I learned from the woman that Huai Village has a history of more than a thousand years since it was built. It is the oldest and largest village in the area. The entire village is 100% ethnic minority and has 150 households. The village is built on the mountain.
, have made a living by farming rice for generations, working at sunrise and resting at sunset. Their rice is very delicious, definitely the highest level in the world, but this village is very weird. None of their villagers have ever walked out of the village to the outside world.
There is no business with outsiders. Only one outsider named Lao Liutou will regularly send some daily necessities every month in exchange for some Huaizhai rice.
Compared with the days when suits are everywhere outside and children play with Big Wolf roasting sheep, they still insist on wearing the simplest traditional clothes and the children play with the oldest handmade toys. Because of the remote location, they have never asked the government.
To this day they don't even have electricity and rely on lanterns for lighting.
Being backward is not the weird thing about them. The weirdest thing is the legend about Huaizhai. Many people say they have seen female ghosts around Huaizhai. Once the men are fascinated, their souls will be seduced and they will die within a few days.
, the women were even worse, they all disappeared without a trace.
"So evil?" Shisan wondered.
"Not only that, there were two groups of backpackers who went to Huaizhai to explore, but none of them came out alive. There was a big fuss at that time. All the men in my family went to search the mountain, but in the end nothing was found except their luggage.
.I advise you to go to our village to play, the scenery is not worse than Huaizhai." The old sister-in-law recommended.
"It doesn't matter. In fact, I am a paranormal enthusiast. I'd like to see if it's really that evil." Shisan smiled evilly. An old corpse in a mountain village wouldn't scare him.
"Well, that's how the young people in the city are now. They are not afraid of anything. They won't shed tears until they see the coffin." The old sister-in-law sighed and shook her head.
When he arrived at the adjacent stockade, Shisan's tractor trip once again made him unable to find his butt. It was already 10 o'clock in the evening, and there were no lights in the stockade. The nightlife in the countryside was naturally not as good as in the city.
Even the cat fell asleep.
Shisan and Lin Xi found Old Liu Tou under the guidance of the old sisters-in-law. He was an old man over eighty years old. He had a livid face and smoked cigarettes. He looked like a ghost.
"The sun doesn't stop and the night doesn't go into the Sophora japonica. This is the rule when going to Sophora japonica." Old Liu Tou said with a straight face, "Today is too late. I can only send you there tomorrow."
"Does it have to be tomorrow? Grandpa, is there a hotel here to rest?" Lin Xi asked.
"There's no such thing as a hotel in a rural place. If you don't mind, I still have a vacant room here. If I like you, I'll rent it to you for 500 a day. Come with me..." Old Liu Tou led them there with a flashlight.
The backyard.
"Is this the room for 500 days?" Lin Xi shivered all over after seeing it. It was basically a firewood shed, with a pile of straw as a bed and a shabby bed sheet placed on it. It was so damp.
If you lift this sheet and you can twist out the water, if you sleep like this for one night, you will definitely suffer from femoral head necrosis caused by rheumatism, hemiplegia due to stroke, and brain complications caused by Domeba parasite in the brain tomorrow...
"Damn, what just ran across the bed? A palm-sized spider! Did you see it?" Thirteen broke out in a cold sweat.
"Let's go, we won't stay in a place like this when we go camping!" Lin Xi was frightened and quickly pulled Shi San out of Old Liu Tou's house.
The nights in the mountains are not comparable to those in the city. When the mountain breeze blows, the temperature in the spring village instantly drops to just a few degrees. Lin Xi pulls up his jacket to the highest position, but is still so cold that he can't help but shiver.
"The humidity in this place is too heavy, so camping in the wild is not an option." Shisan looked at a mountain peak not far away, behind which was where Shisan and Lin Xi's destination - Huaizhai was located.
"What should we do? Why don't we go find the old sisters-in-law just now? Didn't they invite us to stay at their home?" Lin Xi crossed her arms tightly.
"Hey, do you want to go hiking all night?" Shisan said inexplicably.
"Are you crazy? It's so late to climb a mountain. What if you encounter something strange?" Lin Xi said timidly.
"Please don't look like an ignorant girl, okay? Have you forgotten what we do?" Thirteen took out the sword "Ghost" from his hiking bag and hung it on his waist, "Let's go and see Ye Bu Ru Huai.
How evil is Huaizhai?"
"You guys, you agreed that you are going on vacation, can't you just forget about your career?" Lin Xi shook his head helplessly and sighed, but he also took out the Rose Arm Armor and put it on his hand.
This pair of daring backpackers set off into the mountains without any guide. To outsiders, this was either an adventure or a suicide attempt. Even local senior hunters did not dare to enter the mountains at this time.
Yes, don't care about the rumors of ghosts. There are too many things in the mountains that will kill you. Bobcats crawling in the jungle, poisonous snakes hanging in the trees, and even a bite from a mosquito carrying dengue fever virus are all fatal.
Human beings have always regarded themselves as the masters of all things, but they can only find such a sense of accomplishment in the zoo. Only when humans enter the jungle without the help of tools will they realize how insignificant they are...
