Looking at the hazy village shrouded in the night, Shi Sheng refused.
Why did they come back to the same place after so many twists and turns?
The insects chirped in the summer night, rendering the silence of the night.
At this time, the village was dark, without any light.
Shi Sheng rubbed his arms, the hair on his body standing on end.
It was so scary.
Shi Sheng returned to the village. The path paved with bluestones was slippery.
"Meow!" A cat meowed in the darkness.
Shi Sheng turned his head slightly and looked at the top of the wall. A small black cat was squatting there, staring at him with its green eyes.
There was an evil aura all over its body, which made Shi Sheng very uncomfortable.
"Meow!" It meowed again. Its voice was soft, like a newborn kitten.
"Little Black … Little Black …" A child's voice came from the wall. "Come down, Little Black …"
"Meow!"
"Don't meow. Come down." The child was a little anxious, and his voice was very low. "Come down, okay? I'll make you something delicious tomorrow."
Little Black was probably persuaded by the delicious food. It jumped down from the top of the wall and disappeared in front of Shi Sheng.
Shi Sheng stared at the empty top of the wall for a while, then turned and walked to the corner of the wall. He stepped on the stone next to him, climbed up the wall, and looked inside.
There was a yard inside, with some shelves in the middle and two water tanks in the corner. A child was squatting next to the tanks, holding a dark thing in his arms.
Shi Sheng watched as his hand passed through the pitch-black object. He really did pass through it, but the child seemed to be caressing it.
"Be good and don't come out, okay? If you're discovered, you'll be in trouble. Be good and I'll come to see you tomorrow. "The child put the thing into one of the tanks and covered it with dry straw.
After doing all this, the child tiptoed to his feet and sneaked into a room.
Shi Sheng shuddered and jumped down in disgust. It was very creepy.
She continued to walk forward. This time, she didn't encounter anything strange. Unknowingly, she walked to the ancestral hall.
She looked at the ancestral hall first, then turned back. In the open space in front of the ancestral hall, a child suddenly appeared.
Shi Sheng remembered that child. He was the one who shouted the loudest at the entrance of the village.
At this moment, he stood there silently, like a ghost.
Shi Sheng was standing outside the square, and the child was standing in the middle of the square. Normally, Shi Sheng would be able to see where the child came from.
But no, when she turned her head, he was already standing there.
Ahhhhh! There's a ghost!
Yes, this was a normal reaction.
Shi Sheng only glanced at him, then looked away and continued to stare at the plaque in the ancestral hall.
The child walked towards the Shi Sheng. He stopped every three steps and dawdled for a long time before he reached the Shi Sheng.
A sour stench assaulted her senses. She didn't know how long it had been since she last bathed.
There was still no expression on his face. He spoke in a rigid manner as if he was reading a script. "Leave this place."
"Leave this place."
"Leave this place."
The childish voice spread out in the dark night, but was blocked by the surrounding buildings, forming an echo.
Shi Sheng looked at him indifferently and prepared to walk towards the ancestral hall.
Just as she lifted her foot, a few more children appeared in the ancestral hall. Just like the first child, they seemed to have appeared out of thin air.
"Leave this place."
The children spoke in unison.
They didn't seem to be afraid of disturbing the villagers. They didn't lower their voices, and the whole space was filled with their overlapping voices.
What were these naughty children trying to do?
Footsteps suddenly sounded. A group of villagers ran out from various alleys with torches, and soon the whole space was lit up.
The voices disappeared, and the children disappeared.
Only the first child stood in front of Shi Sheng. He didn't react to the appearance of the villagers. His eyes were dull, and he began to walk in a direction.
"That's Dashuang. He's sleepwalking again. Don't call him. Let him go back by himself," someone said.
Da Shuang walked along an alley and gradually disappeared into the darkness.
A few villagers followed him, but most of them stayed.
The village chief came late, wearing a coat. When he saw Shi Sheng, he immediately pulled a long face and asked rudely, "Little girl, didn't you say that you were leaving the village? Why did you come back? "
"I walked and walked and came back. Otherwise, how could I fly?" Rubbish, I walked for half a day in vain. I couldn't even fly out!
"The village chief asked you not to leave. It's not easy to walk in the mountains at night." Villager A complained, "You took the village chief's kindness for granted."
Villager B said, "Don't say anything. It's not easy for the little girl."
Villager A said angrily, "She deserved it. She didn't listen to us."
The villager waved his hand, indicating for them to be quiet. He showed the kindness of an elder. "Little girl, it's getting late. I'd better arrange a place for you to stay."
Shi Sheng didn't answer the village chief. Instead, he asked another question, "Didn't you hear anything just now?"
These people didn't seem to have heard the sound, and they didn't mention anything about what happened just now.
But there were so many of them, and they suddenly appeared. Wasn't that even stranger?
"What sound?" a villager asked.
The torchlight flickered in the night wind, and Shi Sheng couldn't see the emotions in their eyes. He couldn't tell if they were lying or if they really didn't hear anything.
"We're looking for the children," the village chief explained spontaneously. "They were punished when they went back just now. Maybe they were angry, so they ran away. Children are naughty. It would be troublesome if they went missing in the middle of the night and ran to the mountains. Everyone was worried, so they asked everyone to look for them. We didn't hear anything. What sound are you talking about? "
"It's fine if you didn't hear anything." Shi Sheng crossed his arms. "Then go ahead and look for them. Don't worry about me. I'll leave tomorrow."
The villagers: "…"
The others looked at the village chief. The village chief was a little hesitant. In the end, he waved his hand, indicating for them to look for the children first.
These people seemed to be very experienced. They quickly found the children. The children followed behind the adults with their heads down, looking very depressed.
"Village chief, Da Zhuang hasn't been found."
"He's not with them?"
The villagers shook their heads. The village chief didn't believe it and asked the children a few more questions. The children shook their heads with stiff faces.
Shi Sheng stood at the side. The more he looked, the stranger he felt.
These children were a little repulsed by the adults. Looking at their behavior, it was obvious that they wouldn't get too close to the adults. Even if someone pulled them, they would break free very quickly.
And these adults …
That was even more interesting. Facing the children's abnormal behavior, no one was surprised. It was as if they had always been like this.
Who was the ghost?
Logically speaking, if it was a ghost, she shouldn't be able to see it. After all, the original owner was just an ordinary person. She didn't have the Yin-Yang Eye, and she didn't learn any magic.
But now she could see both sides …
There were only two possibilities.
First, there was something strange about this place. Seeing that she came back again and again, there was definitely something strange about this place.
Second, there was something wrong with these people. Seeing the strange phenomenon she saw, there was definitely something wrong with these people.
