Chapter 330 Crisis in Western Hunan
The lights of the bus pierced the darkness, the body of the bus trembled slightly, and it drove towards the darkness in the distance.
The broken limbs left in place were swallowed up by the darkness. Lin Bei's bald head rolled to the ground, looking a little different.
The incredible look on his face showed that he was surprised by what he saw before his death.
Even he didn't believe what he saw.
The smell of blood filled the air, the corpse began to rot, and a stench appeared, making people sick and want to vomit.
……
……
Stepping into the ancient town, a strong aroma of vegetables emerged. Smelling this smell, the girl quickly turned to look at Lin Qian, her face filled with excitement. Surprise:
“Grandma made stir-fried bacon and fish.”
The girl pulled Lin Qian's sleeve and ran quickly towards a house in front of her.
Lin Qian's eyes flashed slightly, looking at the sleeves being pulled by the girl, and thought for a while without saying anything.
He didn't break away, just let her pull him like this. The two of them ran on the bluestone road, the sound of crisp footsteps sounded, very cheerful.
Dusk is approaching, the setting sun is level with the sunset, and the mountains are covered with a light red scarf.
Lin Qian looked at the girl in the dusk, her eyes calm and without any feeling.
"Grandma, I'm back."
The girl pulled Lin Qian and pushed open the door of the house. She let go of Lin Qian's hand, her face was red, and she looked a little childish and beautiful.
Lin Qian stood outside the door and did not go in immediately. He looked around.
The girl's home is very spacious. There is a dam in front with several fruit trees. From here, you can see the green river at a glance.
The mountains are high and the water is clear, the land of peach blossoms.
"Xiao Rou, where did you go to play this time?"
At this time, an old woman came out of the kitchen. She was wearing Miao clothes and no accessories on her head. She looked like she was in her fifties or sixties. , there are a lot of wrinkles on the face.
The Miao clothes on my body also look very simple, without too many decorations, giving people a very simple and plain feeling
"Grandma, I went to the market this time "When I came back, I went fishing with my classmates. Although I didn't touch it, I was still very happy." The girl held the old man's arm and shook it gently, with a smile in her eyes.
"Is that so? That's good. Just be happy." The old man patted the girl's head and turned to look at Lin Qian standing outside the door.
When she saw Lin Qian clearly, her expression changed, and her eyes were full of horror.
Lin Qian pushed up his glasses and looked at the old woman with a smile on his face.
It’s not easy. After walking for so long, I finally met someone who knows the truth.
The old man looked at Lin Qian, his pupils shrank, and he looked at his granddaughter. She was a little silent. She thought for a while and didn't say anything, but smiled reluctantly.
"Xiaorou, this is..." the old man asked.
"This is Lin Qian. He came here to travel. Because of some problems, he got lost, so I plan to let him live here for a while...Grandma, you won't chase people away, right?"
The girl is a little nervous He looked at his grandma, fearing that she would not agree to Lin Qian staying here for the night.
Hearing what her granddaughter said, the old man looked a little unnatural. She looked at her granddaughter and sighed in her heart.
Driving people away? That only requires her to have the courage.
The old man looked at the bride lying on Lin Qian's back, his eyes full of helplessness and solemnity.
Her granddaughter brought something back. The Luohua Cave Girl couldn't defeat this thing.
"Grandma! You don't really want to drive people away!"
Seeing that her grandma was silent, the girl was a little panicked for a moment. She thought her grandma was unwilling to let Lin Qian stay overnight, so she Shaking grandma's arms, there was some pleading on her face.
Hearing what his granddaughter said, the old man sighed and felt helpless. Finally, she shook her head and said:
"If you don’t chase people away, how could grandma chase away the guests brought by Xiaorou? What?”
Even if she wanted to rush, she wouldn't dare. She held these words in her heart and didn't dare to say them.
The things outside the door are too weird, so it’s better not to say some things.
"Yeah, thank you, grandma, grandma is the best!" The girl shook the old man's arm, secretly looked at Lin Qian, and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
"Go wash your hands and eat, remember to ask him to come with you." The old man stared at Lin Qian, finally sighed, without saying anything else, turned and entered the kitchen and began to prepare the final dish.
The girl agreed, and then waved to Lin Qian with a guilty conscience, gesturing for him to follow her.
Lin Qian looked at this scene and smiled, not surprised. He looked at the bride on his back and pinched her nose gently.
The eyes are thoughtful.
I am afraid that the red bug from before was not accidentally targeting the bride...
Lin Qian walked into the courtyard and closed the door. Lin Qian went to wash it with Mou Xinrou. Take action.
Then the two walked back to the courtyard together, where food was already set on a stone table.
Stir-fried bacon, croaker fish, potato (potato), cold konnyaku, and rice tofu, there are five dishes in total, which look extremely appetizing.
The afterglow of the setting sun lingered in the yard, and the old man greeted the two of them to sit down.
“Want to drink?” The old man looked at Lin Qian and asked tentatively.
Lin Qian shook his head with a smile and said, "Forget it about drinking. I can't drink the wine in your place."
The old man nodded, as if he heard what Lin Qian knew. The implication was that he spoke:
"I'm not from Xiangxi, so I don't dare to drink Xiangxi wine. You're right."
Lin Qian nodded and said no more. The girl looked at her grandma and Lin Qian with some confusion, and thought about her. Still didn't speak, just ate in silence, occasionally peeking at Lin Qian.
The old man was a little helpless, drinking wine and eating vegetables by himself without saying a word.
Lin Qian didn't care about this. She was eating the delicious food on the table and thinking about the big river in the ancient town.
The corpse cave inside is a little difficult to get in. Eighteen hundred ghosts have died from starvation, and they haven’t found a way to get in yet
It seems that Lin Qian went to see it in person at night. It is not impossible now, but Lin Qian is sure that he can't even see the shadow of the corpse cave now.
How else do you think those starving ghosts died...
"You are the person in charge from outside?" The old man suddenly asked.
She looked at Lin Qian, her eyes flickering, not knowing what she was thinking.
When the girl heard this, her face changed slightly. She turned her head and looked at Lin Qian, her eyes a little confused.
Lin Qian picked up a piece of potato with chopsticks, put it in his mouth and ate it slowly.
"The flower fish is very good, but it has a little bit of blood smell. This smell is not very good, but it is still acceptable."
Lin Qian picked up a chopstick of the flower fish and tasted it carefully. Taste it carefully.
No one spoke except Lin Qian. The old man looked at Lin Qian with a calm expression.
The girl looked at Lin Qian, clutching the corners of her clothes with her fingers. It seemed that she was very important to whether Lin Qian was the person in charge.
Feeling the gazes of the two people, Lin Qian was very calm. He put down his chopsticks, wiped his mouth, and was about to say something.
He frowned, not just him, but the old man and the girl as well.
The old man's face was a bit unsightly, and the girl's face was even pale.
Woooooo~
Woooooo~
The sound of crying and howling sounded one after another, echoing throughout the entire Shilin Ancient Town.
"I would rather hear a living person laugh than a domestic dog cry... Whoever cries will die..." the old man murmured to himself.
The wailing one after another in the ears is very worrying. The family dog is crying and howling, and the family is mourning.
Lin Qian's expression moved slightly. The old man's statement was very interesting. He glanced at Mou Xinrou's expression and found that she was already in a state of despair.
Lin Qian let out a breath, and a starving ghost quietly appeared in the dam outside the yard.
Lin Qian's eyes flashed slightly, and a vision entered his mind.
From the sight of the starving ghost, we can find that in every household with dogs, their dogs are crying.
Those who cried were heart-wrenching, and some even hugged their master’s thighs, tears streaming down their faces.
As for the owners of the dogs, their expressions were uncertain. Some of them killed the crying dog with a stick, while others could not do anything and could only let it cry.
The cries and howls of domestic dogs could be heard one after another in the town. Lin Qian looked at all this with deep thought in his heart.
"Is the corpse cave coming out?"
Lin Qian calmly picked up a piece of fish with chopsticks, looking very calm.
Since the sound of the dog crying, corpses began to appear in the big green river.
Although these corpses were fleeting, they were still felt by Lin Qian.
That kind of supernatural fluctuation is too conspicuous. Lin Qian is not blind, there is no way he can't feel it.
"Trouble, something is going to happen." Mou Xinrou's grandma was sitting on a stone chair, her expression changing.
The girl looked at Lin Qian blankly, with some fear in her eyes.
Lin Qian didn't care and just ate the fish calmly. The fish was delicious. He remembered the taste and the ingredients.
I’ll make it for Coco and Xiaoyue to eat after I get back.
"Are you the person in charge outside?" The old man looked at Lin Qian nervously, or to be precise, at the bride holding Lin Qian's neck.
The bride was so beautiful that she didn't dare to take another look.
The girl pursed her lips and looked at Lin Qian pitifully, with expectation and helplessness in her moist eyes.
Lin Qian put down his chopsticks, wiped his mouth, looked up at the old man and the girl, thought for a while and asked:
"Why do you think I am the person in charge? I look like Is he the person in charge, or have you seen him? "
The dogs crying in my ears continued, and more and more bodies appeared in the river, but without exception, they disappeared in an instant. .
Very fast and very weird.
There was some silence at the dinner table. Mou Xinrou's grandma looked at Lin Qian with a complicated expression. After hesitating for a while, she said:
"I met Lu An, the person in charge of Danan City. He You tried something and it failed. Something about you has nothing to do with it. He is very similar to..."
"No, it should be that he is very similar to you, that's why I asked you if you are the person in charge."
Hearing this, Lin Qian. His eyes narrowed, Lu An, he had heard of this person before, and the ghost he controlled was somewhat similar to a ritual existence.
He had been here before, and he heard what the old man meant, but judging from the situation, it seemed that he failed in dealing with something.
The sky gradually dimmed. Lin Qian watched the old man walk to the door and stretched out his hand to add another door bolt.
After doing all this, the old man breathed a sigh of relief, turned around and sat on the stone chair again.
Lin Qian didn't care about the old man's strange behavior, but just looked at the confused girl.
A faint floral fragrance surrounded the girl's body. The old man's eyes were a little dim. He sighed, stood up, walked to Mou Xinrou, and took her back to the house.
Then locked the room door.
After doing this, the old man sat opposite Lin Qian a little tiredly, his weathered face full of sorrow.
Lin Qian paid attention to all this, looked at the locked room, his expression moved slightly, and turned his head to look outside the door.
Boom, boom, boom
Boom, boom, boom
"Sister Xiaorou, I'm Xiaomeng. I'm here to play with you. Open the door quickly!"
At this time, a girl who called herself Xiaomeng suddenly knocked on the door.
Her voice is very childish, and you can tell from her voice that she is much younger than Mou Xinrou, at least about five years younger.
So...
Lin Qian's eyes flickered slightly as he looked at the sounds and knocks coming from the door.
It's not a ghost, it's a living corpse, similar to a ghost slave, but not a ghost slave.
The old man seems to have become accustomed to his appearance, drinking wine that is not too strong, minding his own business, and his expression is full of sorrow.
"Just get used to it. This thing comes calling for Xiaorou almost every night. As long as you pay a little attention, it will be fine." The old man explained.
Lin Qian looked away from the door, his eyes flickering slightly. He looked at Xiaorou's locked room, thought for a while and asked:
"Have you been called out? Situation? ”
Hearing this, the old man didn't avoid anything, nodded and said:
"Once, Xiaorou had some special reasons, and I also had some problems at that time. Inadvertently, that thing called Xiaorou out. Fortunately, the big black dog in the village knew Xiaorou very well and dragged Xiaorou back immediately. Here it is.”
“Fortunately, there was no big problem. Later, I simply put a lock outside Xiaorou’s room so that she wouldn’t run out. Even if she ran out, I You can also know it immediately.”
Hearing the old man’s explanation, Lin Qian roughly understood what was going on.
But soon he became a little confused. He looked at the old man:
"This kind of thing will happen to the girl from Luohua Cave?"
When the old man heard the words "Luohua Cave Girl", his eyes suddenly lit up. She looked at Lin Qian:
"You Even if you are not the person in charge, you are much better than the person in charge!"
Lin Qian:...
"You seem to be obsessed with whether I am the person in charge, can you tell me? Why?" Lin Qian asked.
Hearing Lin Qian's words, the old man was a little silent. After thinking about it, she seemed to have thought of something. She turned her head and looked at the room where Xiaorou was, and finally sighed and said:
"If you The person in charge can solve the problems in Xiangxi. Compared with others, we in Xiangxi are more willing to trust the country.”
“Xiaorou’s problem is very complicated. Annoying, because of me, she did not completely become the Luohua Cave Girl, which also resulted in her not being protected by the Gu God."
"This is also the reason why Xiaorou will be harassed by those things, and even some. The danger of being killed. "
The old man had some remorse and guilt on his face. She looked at the door that was knocked and listened to the shouts in her ears, her eyes full of sadness.
Hearing this explanation, Lin Qian was a little confused:
“Why do you think the person in charge can help you solve these problems? The person in charge of the headquarters is not a kind person.”
“ They will. If there is no one here to solve it, Danan City will disappear." The old man stared at Lin Qian with a serious expression.
Lin Qian's pupils shrank slightly. This matter is a bit serious. Danan City will disappear. To put it simply, it will fall.
“Troublesome thing.” Lin Qian looked at the old man and said.
"I actually don't care about these things, but the reason why I come here is probably related to the Luohua Cave Girl. One of my wife's things is here, but it's a pity that I won't be able to find it for a while."
" This is troublesome, that thing is too fragile , I am so passive that I have been restrained until now."
"Otherwise, according to my temper, I will bulldoze the things outside the door today." Lin Qian pointed. There was a knock on the door, eyes full of indifference.
The bulldozing he was talking about meant bulldozing, the kind of bulldozing that killed everyone, both living and dead.
The old man's pupils narrowed slightly and he was a little silent. Finally she said:
"You are so murderous."
Lin Qian smiled, with a look of disapproval:
"Let me introduce myself, Lin Qian, the person in charge of Dajiang City, one of the captains of the headquarters."
The old man was silent again...
She looked at Lin Qian and didn't want to speak. The person coming this time was a bit big. She knew that the captain of the headquarters, Lu An had told her.
The person who can become the captain of the headquarters must either have the best strength or have special abilities.
The young man in front of him, who was carrying his wife on his back, was obviously the first.
"What are you looking for? Tell me, maybe I know something. After all, I am the only Luohua Cave girl who did not die when the Gu God revived."
The old man's temperament changed. Lin Qian looked at the old man, and he saw nobility and glamor in her.
I can’t believe this is the kind of temperament an old woman can exude.
The last Luohua Cave Girl who survived, according to the legend in western Hunan, only the most beautiful girl can be chosen by God as the Luohua Cave Girl.
If this is true, then it really corresponds to the saying, who was not a beauty when they were young?
Lin Qian has become slightly cocky recently. He is becoming more and more interested in this place.
……
……
Otsu City, twelve o'clock in the evening.
Fan Ba looked at the city in front of him uneasily, feeling that something was about to happen.
"Weird thing, why do I feel like I'm going to die?" Fan Ba frowned and muttered to himself.
Under a bus stop, the street lights suddenly started to flash, and the street signs next to them quickly began to look old.
Darkness appeared on the road, and an old bus appeared on the road.
Pale lights illuminated the road ahead, and a fully loaded bus began to drive into the platform.
The bus began to slow down, the street lights at the platform were completely extinguished, darkness enveloped the city, and the city was very quiet at midnight.
Chi...
The bus stopped successfully, the door slowly opened, and the numbers on the sign began to decrease.
36, 35, 34……
15, 11, 9...
7, 5, 1...
The pale lights began to flicker, the bus door slowly closed, darkness emerged, and the bus disappeared into the night among.
Fear sets in.
I almost vomited before typing this out, so let’s just read it for now. The author is staggering on the bus. I’m going to vomit for a while.
