After daybreak, we drove to Lakshmi Village. When I first stepped into Lakshmi Village, I felt that something was wrong with the village today.
There was no one in the village. It was nine o'clock now. Logically speaking, there should be people walking around in the village. Seeing the village like this, I said to them,""There's something wrong with this village today. Let's be careful when we enter.”
Second brother also saw the strangeness of the village today, so he said to me,"I can see that too. There's no one in the village so early in the morning.”
After saying that, we entered the village. After entering the village, we wanted to go to the village chief's house first to ask what had happened in the village. However, when we arrived at the village chief's house, we saw a pitch-black lock.
We had no choice but to go to the old man's house who had once entertained Second Brother and me. When we went in, the old man was still sitting on the steps in front of the door smoking. When he saw us coming in, he said,"Young man, you're here again. You've caused so much trouble in this village that there's almost no one left!”
After saying that, the old man continued to smoke his cigarette.
Seeing the old man like this, I said,"Grandpa, what happened to the village? Why haven't we seen anyone since we entered the village?”
The old man looked at me and didn't say anything. He continued to smoke his cigarette.
When Chen Qi saw the old man's attitude, she walked up to him and said,"Sir, what's wrong with this village? It was fine the last time we came. Why is it like this now?"
The old man looked at Chen Qi. Perhaps Chen Qi's beauty had moved the old man. The old man tapped his cigarette ash and said,"Who knows what happened to this village? Ever since you came to this village, the village has never been stable. After the death of the village chief, the village became even more chaotic.
"After the village chief died, the village became restless. Soon after, people died. Later on, people died every three to five days. Some people in the village said that the village was dead and wanted to take the entire village away. Just like that, the villagers who could escape all left, leaving behind those who could not move.”
After the old man finished speaking, he looked at us as if he was blaming us for coming to this village.
Looking at the old man's expression, we knew that he didn't welcome us very much, so we didn't stay long. After bidding farewell to him, we set off for Black Wind Valley.
We passed through the village and saw that this place was surrounded by mountains. Hu Zi walked to the front and led the way.
Chen Qi followed behind Hu Zi, and I followed behind Chen Qi. Chen Qi turned around and said to me,"Brother Shuang, let's walk along this road. When we reach the inside, there are two relatively tall mountains. There's a ravine between the two mountains, and that's Black Wind Ravine.”
After saying that, Chen Qi pointed at the two relatively tall mountains. Blackie and Second Brother also raised their heads to look. Second Brother didn't feel anything, but Blackie's reaction was really big.
After Blackie finished looking at the two mountains, he said,""Oh my god, this mountain is so high that it can compete with that whatever peak. Even if you beat me to death, I won't go up this mountain!”
When Chen Qi heard Blackie's words, she replied,"No one asked you to go up this mountain. Look at how scared you are. And that wasn't a mountain, it was Mount Everest!”
Chen Qi smiled after saying that. Blackie also chuckled.
We talked as we walked towards the Black Wind Ravine. It took about twenty minutes. The wild grass around us grew taller and taller. I knew we were about to reach Black Wind Ravine.
Hu Zi stopped in front of us and turned around to say,"We're here." Our team stopped. Looking at the surrounding environment, we feel very small.
The weeds here were probably much taller than the black ones. The four of us held knives in our hands and cut the weeds around us as we advanced.
"Qiqi, do you remember the place where you saw those things the last time you came?”I turned around and asked Chen Qi.
Chen Qi said," It was the same the last time we came here. Hu Zi was cutting the weeds in front of us, but Brother Shuang, look at the grass. It's still so tall. It's probably not the same path as the last time we came here."”
Hearing Qiqi say this, I knew that it would take some time to find the place where they came last time.
I continued to move forward. From the moment we entered until now, other than the overgrown weeds, we didn't encounter anything strange.
Blackie said as he cut the grass,"Brother Shuang, look at this damn place. There's nothing but grass." He didn't know how many years it had been since anyone had come here, but the grass had actually grown to this state!”
Blackie was probably tired of cutting grass, so I continued,"I just asked you to do some work and you're already so talkative. If any jackals, tigers, or leopards come out later, I'll let them eat you first, saving you so much trouble!”
Hei Zi laughed as he said," I'm so small. Those things probably won't have an appetite when they see me. If they want to eat, they have to eat the tiger first. Who asked him to be so big!?"”
Blackie said as he looked at Hu Zi, who was cutting grass at the side. Hu Zi gave Blackie the middle finger.
Blackie was rendered speechless by Hu Zi's middle finger. Just as Blackie was about to lower his head to cut the grass, he was about to leave. "Huh? There's something here. Come and take a look.”
When we heard Hu Zi's words, we all walked over to take a look. When we got closer, we saw a watch on the ground.
Chen Qi picked up the watch and said,""This is my watch. I lost it the last time I was here! That's not right. I clearly remember that I left this watch on the hillside when I was running back after we saw those two monsters!”
"Really?" I asked. Qiqi, do you really remember that you left this watch on the hillside?”
Just as Qi Qi was about to speak, Hu Zi spoke.："That's right, I remember. At that time, we saw those two monsters spitting out many human faces at us. I pulled Qiqi and ran back.”
After hearing Hu Zi's words, we all became vigilant. The hillside they had mentioned the last time they came here was no longer a grassland.
The place where they saw the two monsters last time might be very close to where we are now.
I told everyone,"Let's be careful. We might be very close to those two monsters!"”
Before I could finish, a strange cry came from the forest in front of me. This shout scared us. However, the sound didn't seem to come from a human. It sounded like the cry of an animal in the mountains.
The five of us gathered together and I said,"Let's follow the sound and be careful!”
After I finished speaking, everyone looked at each other. Then, we followed the direction of the cry. We estimated that we had been walking for more than half an hour, but other than the dense trees here, we didn't see anything else. The scream from before didn't ring out anymore.
Second Brother looked at the sky and said to me,"Xiao Shuang, it's getting late. It looks like we won't be able to find anything today.”
When I heard Second Brother say that, I looked at the time. It was four o'clock now. It would probably be dark before five o'clock in this ditch. I also agree with Second Brother. He said,"Well, it seems that we won't find anything today. Let's go back now."”
We turned around and walked back, but when we looked back, we found that the road we had just walked had become the same as before, and the grass that had been cut down had returned to its original state. I can no longer tell which road we took when we came here.
"Brother Shuang, what's going on?" Hei Zi asked.”
I looked at Hei Zi and said," This is too strange. Take out your compasses. We'll walk out of here in the direction of Lakshmi Village!"”
Hearing what I said, Hu Zi adjusted his compass and led the way in front. Hu Zi was big and walked quickly. We followed Hu Zi closely.
After walking for a while, the sky suddenly darkened. Second Brother and Hei Zi immediately took out high-brightness lights. The two headlights illuminated the road as if it was daytime.
Suddenly, Hu Zi stopped in his tracks and turned around."Look ahead!"
After we heard Hu Zi's words, we looked ahead together. We could vaguely see many people walking over. At this time, Hu Zi and Liu Er turned off the lights. We looked carefully in front of us.
These people lined up and walked towards us. As we got closer and closer, we saw that these people were chained up by others. From time to time, there would be people moaning in pain.
It seemed like this was what Hu Zi and the others had seen earlier. But now, these people are coming in our direction. We can't hide here. They'll probably send us down in a while.
If we want to move, we have to turn on the lights. Once we turn on the lights, these people will definitely notice us. But if we stay where we are, they will definitely notice us when they come over.
Now that this group of people is getting closer and closer to us, we don't have time to think. At this critical moment, I made a bold decision. Since we're going to be discovered anyway, why don't we take the initiative to attack before they discover us?
I said,"Blackie, Second Brother, turn on the lights and shine on these people. Ghosts are afraid of light!"”
Second Brother and Hei Zi turned on the lights at the same time, shining them in the middle of the group.
When the light shone on these people, I saw that I actually knew some of them! The sudden light shone on the group of people. They seemed to be frightened by the sudden light.
All of a sudden, there was a series of howls. Their faces were pale, and some of them had no hands or feet. However, I saw one person in this group of people. That person was the village chief!
All of them had pained expressions on their faces. I saw that their bodies were covered in wounds. Some of them even had no scalps. Their bloody heads were stuck to their necks.
We couldn't care less now. After we shone the light, we ran all the way. We have to escape before these people react!
After running for a while, we actually ran out of this Black Wind Ravine. Because under our feet is the familiar path leading to Lakshmi Village.
Seeing that nothing was chasing after us, we walked back along this path.
But the more we walked, the more I felt that something was wrong. When we came in, we walked for at least two hours, but now we have only run for a while. How did we reach Lakshmi Village so quickly?
"Wait, doesn't everyone feel that something is wrong? Think about it, how long did we walk before we came in? But how long have we been running for? How can we reach Lakshmi Village so quickly?”I asked.
Blackie said," Yes, I can feel it too. But look at the time now. It's 11:30 at night." But when we looked at our watches, it was only four o'clock!”
After hearing Blackie's words, I looked at my watch. It was indeed 11:30. What was going on? Could it be that time disappeared the moment we saw those people? Or are we running faster than time? Could it be that we are ahead of time?
But how is this possible? No matter how fast we run, we can't outrun time! Time disappeared. This was even more illogical. Time was constant. How could it disappear just like that?
Chen Qi looked at me and said," Brother Shuang, it seems like there's no way to explain this. The most important thing now is whether we should enter the village or not."”
When I heard Chen Qi say that, I was also thinking about what to do now. It was really late now. Perhaps something unbelievable would happen later.
The only way now was to enter Lakshmi Village first. He hoped that he could spend the night safely in Lakshmi Village. Originally, we wanted to return to Lakshmi Village before dark, but now time has passed so mysteriously. In the blink of an eye, it's already 11 o'clock in the middle of the night.
"It seems that we can only enter the village now. It's not safe here. We can't be sure if those people will come after us."”
After everyone heard what I said, there were no objections. The five of us walked towards Lakshmi Village.
"When the lights shone on that group of people, did you notice anyone we knew?" I asked on the way.”I thought I was the only one who saw the village chief, so I asked.
However, the four of them answered at the same time,""Village chief?"
Hearing their answer, I said,"Yes, I saw the village too. It seems that he was also captured by those two monsters.”
"Why do you think he captured the villagers?" Hei Zi asked. Just now, I felt that those people were like coolies. Could it be that they still have to do coolies after they die?”
Second Brother said," I don't know if they're laborers or not. But I saw their expressions just now. They seemed to be very afraid. When we shone the light on them, I saw many people who were so afraid that they wanted to run away. It's just that they were all locked together and couldn't run!”
Actually, I also saw what Second Brother saw. It's a pity that they are ghosts and we are humans. Otherwise, I would have gone up and asked what was going on.
We whispered as we walked into Lakshmi Village.
