"Yes, I've seen him before." The male villager grabbed You Huo's hand.
His palm was as rough as sandpaper, and it was hard and cold to the point that it hurt.
You Huo pulled his hand back, and his face was pale.
"Where have you seen him before?" he asked as he moved his wrist.
The male villager stood there and thought for two seconds. Then, as if he didn't hear the question, he repeated, "I'm sure I've seen him before … I've seen him before."
"Hey, here we go again." The woman who was going to chisel the ice put down her chisel and sighed, "Don't treat him like an outsider. This person has this problem."
"What do you mean?"
"He's not very good here." The woman pointed to her head and explained, "Every now and then, when he's sick, he likes to grab people and say, 'You look familiar, have I seen you before?' Otherwise, he'll ask people, 'Do you know me? Do you remember me? '"
As soon as she finished speaking, the male villager grabbed Qin Jiu again and asked in a low voice, "You know me, do you remember me?"
Qin Jiu was speechless.
The woman said, "See! That's it. "
"How did he go crazy?" Qin Jiu asked.
The woman thought for a moment, then shook her head and said in a low voice, "It's always been like this."
She called out, and the other two people who were fetching water by the river came over, one on each side of the male villager.
"Take him back first, he'll probably go crazy for a while," the woman said.
The two villagers nodded and dragged the male villager into the house.
When he was being dragged, the male villager grabbed Yu Wen, who was closest to him, and struggled to say, "I've seen him before, I've really seen him before."
His skin was gray, and his face was full of wrinkles, especially at the corners of his mouth and eyes. There were a few strands of white hair at his temples, and he looked a little old.
Yu Wen was startled by him and felt a little pitiful.
He said, "Don't be so arrogant, okay? Do you want me to help you? "
The two villagers shook their heads, "It's okay, there's no need. We're used to it. When he goes crazy, he's very strong. You can't move him. You can only drag him like this. And … "
One of them said bluntly, "You are Black Lady's guests. We … well, we don't really welcome strangers into our home."
Soon, the male villager was dragged into a house with a red roof. After the door was closed, there was no more movement.
This episode made everyone look at each other in dismay.
However, these villagers were equivalent to NPCs in the game. It was hard to say whether the things that happened between NPCs were fixed daily plots. It would be unwise to intervene before the whole story was made clear.
Therefore, everyone saw this and did not act blindly without thinking.
You Huo remembered the house and then looked away.
After chatting for a long time, their relationship didn't seem to get any closer. The big shot lost his patience and stopped beating around the bush. He simply asked, "Do any of you know Gypsy?"
The woman began to chisel the ice again.
She raised her hand high, and the chisel fell heavily on the ice, bringing up a layer of debris.
Every move was filled with ferocity.
This kind of scene was inexplicably frightening. It was as if if there was a person lying there, she would also use all her strength to chisel it down.
She chiseled a few times and shook her head. "No, no one knows."
"But the village chief said that Black Lady was doing dead people's work. If no one knows Gypsy, how can they communicate with her and let her work? "Lao Yu couldn't help but ask.
The woman said, "It's all the guests who come to her. We don't. And she wasn't alone before. There were old Hairy people and a few children. She didn't always speak Gypsy. "
Old Hairy people? Children?
Everyone felt that they had asked the key question and suddenly became excited. "Is that Black Lady's family?"
The woman nodded. "Yes."
"Where are they? Where did they go? "
The woman shook her head. "They left. I don't know where they went. Maybe they went home? Anyway, they suddenly disappeared. "
"Is there anyone who knows?"
The woman shook her head again and said, "No, we wouldn't dare to ask about Black Lady."
Everyone fell silent again.
You Huo glanced at the setting sun in the distance and asked, "Is there a grave here?"
The woman's hand that was chiseling ice paused.
She was quiet for a while, then suddenly looked up at everyone and smiled.
With such a smile, her face became much more vivid, but it also made people's hair stand on end.
She clumsily raised her hand and pointed. "Do you see these woods?"
Everyone looked around in a blink of an eye.
The continuous forest formed an airtight circle, wrapping the entire mountain village in it.
The woman smiled and said, "The woods are graves. This circle of woods … are all graves."
·
The setting sun completely sank behind the woods, and the last trace of afterglow disappeared.
The sky unknowingly darkened.
The woman looked up and hurriedly picked up the iron bucket.
"Wait." You Huo grabbed her.
The woman struggled twice. "What are you doing?! It's dark, don't grab me! I want to go home! "
She was very strong, far beyond You Huo's expectations, so he didn't notice for a moment and actually let her break free.
The woman took a few steps back with the bucket and urged everyone. "You guys should hurry back to the house. It's dark! "
"So what if it's dark? The village chief said before that you guys won't come out when it's dark. "
The woman trembled.
She wrapped her scarf tightly, looked around, and said softly, "There are ghosts everywhere when it's dark. They will knock on your door, open your window, stand by your bed, or crawl under your bed. You have to be careful … "
After saying that, she pressed her index finger to her lips and made a "shhh" sound.
"…"
Everyone was creeped out by her "shhh".
After saying this, the woman hurriedly left with the iron bucket.
Under the night sky, she walked very fast. In the blink of an eye, her figure had already arrived in front of the house in the distance.
She opened the door, looked around, and then carefully went into the house. The doors and windows were closed.
For a moment, there was silence.
There were sporadic lights in a few houses, but the light was too dim. Occasionally, it would sway gently, which made people feel even more uneasy.
Chen Bin and the others rubbed their arms and said, "What should we do? We have no clue about the listening question. Should we … go back and study the recording again? "
These words were said with despair.
There was no translation device, the villagers didn't understand Gypsy, and it was said that ghosts would knock on the door at night … How were they going to get the listening question?
·
"I'm going into the forest."
You Huo suddenly said.
"Where are you going???" Lao Yu was startled by his nephew, but before he could finish asking, You Huo's rustling footsteps had already gone far away.
"F * ck." Lao Yu didn't dare to swear to his nephew. He spat at the ground and shouted, "Wait! You should at least bring a light! "
You Huo didn't even turn his head and waved his hand perfunctorily.
Everyone: "…"
Lao Yu hurriedly asked, "Who, who, who, who! Bring a flashlight! Cell phones are fine too! My phone ran out of battery in the afternoon. I f * cking … I can't watch him go into the graveyard alone! "
Everyone looked at each other and shook their heads.
The repeated recording in the afternoon drained everyone's cell phone battery.
They didn't dare to use the remaining bit of battery for light, otherwise, it would completely shut down in a few minutes.
"Veterans! Both of you? Do any of you have a flashlight? "Lao Yu looked at Chen Bin and Leung Won-ho.
Leung Won-ho: "No."
Chen Bin waved his hand awkwardly, "They sold it at the rest area, but … our score was too pitiful, so we didn't dare to buy it."
"Then …" Yu Wen suddenly spoke up and handed over a slender object, "I boldly … spent 0.5 cents to buy a glow stick. Can it be used?"
Lao Yu went up and slapped him, "You've already bought it, so why did you buy a glow stick?! A box of matches would've been good too! "
Yu Wen shouted, "I've read too many novels … there are some places where you can't use an open flame."
He carried the glow stick and dragged Lao Yu to chase after You Huo.
Yu Yao said softly, "I … I'll go too."
A bunch of people ran after You Huo, leaving only Leung Won-ho and Chen Bin in a daze.
"They … are so reckless in the exam???" Chen Bin murmured, "So are we going or not?"
Leung Won-ho said with a sullen face, "I already said that it's full of graves. If you want to go, you go. I'm going back to the house. "
·
The forest was extremely quiet, not even a bird could be seen.
You Huo stepped on a few branches and kicked them behind him.
Qin Jiu snorted in a lukewarm manner, dragging out his tone as he said, "Can't you have a little bit of civility? There are still people behind you. "
You Huo didn't say a word and kicked a few more broken branches behind him.
Qin Jiu made a "tsk" sound.
You Huo put his hands in his pockets and strolled around the cemetery like it was a park. It was as if the dark environment didn't hinder him.
"Are you sure you don't want to use a light? I can lend it to you. "Qin Jiu said.
You Huo's cold voice sounded, "My night vision is very good. Don't worry about it. Can you shut up and be quiet for a while? "
Qin Jiu: "I don't really want to."
You Huo ignored him.
After walking in the forest for a while, Qin Jiu stopped and said, "Who's calling?"
You Huo listened for a moment and heard Yu Wen's trembling voice, "Brother … brother, where are you …"
Vaguely, one could see a green object that reflected their faces.
You Huo stood expressionlessly for a while. He broke a few branches on the ground and took out a lighter to light them.
"Over there, over there! I see it! "Yu Wen saw the fire and rushed over while screaming.
Lao Yu leaned against a tree and gasped, "Hey … you … ancestor, what are you looking for?"
You Huo said, "I'm just looking around."
Everyone's face turned green.
"… Then, then do you see anything? If not, why don't we go back first? "Lao Yu said tentatively.
You Huo drew a branch under his feet, "Look, a row of graves."
Everyone was startled and looked in the direction of the fire.
They saw You Huo standing on the ground. There was a row of tombstones on the ground.
There were strange words engraved on the tombstones. They looked like letters and circles of earthworms. They were very similar to the words on the tombstone at the entrance of the village. It was obvious that they were carved by Black Lady.
Yu Wen was dumbfounded, "How did you find such a place?"
"Black Lady went into this forest in the afternoon." You Huo squatted down and suddenly waved at Yu Wen, "Do you still have battery on your phone?"
"A little."
"Take a picture and copy it on Black Lady's door."
Everyone was stunned, "Why?"
Anger Black Lady to death?
You Huo said, "What's on the tombstone?"
Lao Yu said, "The name of the deceased, their photo, their birth and death years."
You Huo was expressionless.
Lao Yu's desire to live erupted, and he said, "And the relatives of the deceased, who carved it?"
Everyone: "…"
F * ck, that's right! This tombstone was carved by Black Lady!
