Qionghua Market, next to the Han Dynasty Tomb.

There is an abandoned field here. Because it has not been taken care of all year round, it is overgrown with weeds and tangled vines, and its original appearance is no longer clearly visible.

There are no street lights around, so it will be completely dark at night, which makes people feel scared just looking at it.

Tonight, there was a sound of footsteps and a little light in this deserted field.

The source of the light was a girl holding a selfie stick in her hand. She was wearing short sleeves and long pants. She was walking in the field and talking from time to time.

"Dear friends, we have been to the Lightless Alley a few days ago and checked in at the 'Cats and Dogs Watching the Moon'. Today I discovered a new place in Qionghua City, which is this deserted field."

There is a live broadcast window on her mobile phone. It is not difficult to tell from what the girl just said that she is doing a live broadcast.

The girl's name is Song Shuting, and she is a female online anchor. With her sweet appearance and unique live broadcast content, she is relatively famous in the outdoor channel.

Song Shuting is different from ordinary outdoor anchors. She usually broadcasts at night or in the middle of the night, and she also broadcasts weird and adventurous content.

Today, her target was the deserted field next to the Han Dynasty Tomb.

On the mobile phone, the barrages in the live broadcast room are scrolling one by one. There are not too many, but there are quite a few.

"Anchor, what's there to see in Arata? It's so dark around here that you can't see anything clearly."

"That's right, it's better to find some place like an ancient house to take a look. It's much more interesting than this heap of weeds."

"Today's live broadcast was not that good, but last time the cats and dogs looked at the moon were more interesting. By the way, host, how much food did it cost to find so many cats and dogs to be actors last time? It must have been difficult, right?"

"What is an actor? When did our Tingbao live broadcast hire actors? Now that the spiritual energy has recovered, don't you know? If I give you food, can you make so many animals act obediently? Your IQ is really worrying."

"Revival of spiritual energy? Haha, you believe two rumors uploaded on the Internet. It's really ridiculous. I think you should go and mend your brain!"

"..."

In the live broadcast room, barrage has never been peaceful, and crooked buildings and the like are commonplace.

Song Shuting has long been accustomed to this.

To this day, she is not worried about this situation. When she sees someone arguing in the live broadcast room, she even secretly laughs. After all, this helps her stay active.

"Dear friends, don't make any noise. Today we are here to check in. We also have another purpose, which is to verify whether the weird rumors here are true or false."

As soon as she finished speaking, the live broadcast room on her mobile phone was immediately taken away from the topic, and a bunch of barrages appeared one after another:

“‘Anti-Counterfeiting Pioneer’ Tingbao is about to start her work again!?”

"You should be praised for being so dedicated and responsible! I have prepared a 'rumor buster' banner for you. Anchor, please send a private message with the address and I will send it to you."

"Upstairs, don't think I don't know you want to deceive the address... Don't forget to share it with me when you receive it!"

"..."

After looking at the prank barrage in the live broadcast room, Song Shuting showed a sweet smile, continued walking forward, and said:

"Dear friends, I don't know if you have heard of such a story. It is said that there were people living in the middle of this wasteland next to the Han Dynasty tomb. This was not a wasteland before."

"But later, this family moved away for some reason. They took all their belongings with them, but only one person was left behind..."

She paused for a moment when she said this, and couldn't help but smile when she saw the barrage of curious inquiries in the live broadcast room, and said: "They brought everything with them, but only one 'person' was left behind..."

"A scarecrow..."

The light of the mobile phone kept swaying with her steps, looking so insignificant in this dark wasteland.

"The scarecrow was forgotten here, day after day, year after year. It felt very angry at the abandonment of its owner... So it picked up the sickle on the ground and came to life every night.

Wandering in the deserted fields..."

"Some people who have explored here once said that they saw the scarecrow at night. It kept rummaging in the fields, as if looking for the owner who abandoned him..."

When she said this, there was already a burst of barrage in the live broadcast room.

"Anchor, why have you changed? When did you become so bad at telling horror stories? I was so scared that I didn't dare to go to the toilet at night."

"Anchor, don't scare me. I'm a coward. If I get scared, I'll hold you responsible for the rest of my life!"

"Yes, the anchor told this fairy tale very well, but what happened next? Did he meet a little girl, a tin man, and a little lion?"

"..."

Song Shuting continued to walk in this deserted field. Although it was night now, she could see everything at a glance. There was basically nothing in sight, let alone a scarecrow, not even a house.

"This is actually just a story. I even heard someone say that the scarecrow's eyes are made of two priceless rubies. Whoever takes them will immediately reach the pinnacle of life."

She stepped over a patch of two-foot-high weeds and continued: "We are here to check in today, and by the way, we want to dispel this rumor, so that friends who come here to explore in the future will avoid detours."

Seeing the mediocre response in the live broadcast room, Song Shuting felt a little depressed.

Thanks to my hard work to find such a story, why doesn’t anyone reward Yibo?

If I had known I wouldn't be here today, wouldn't it be nice to play "Cats and Dogs Looking at the Moon" again?

She walked forward for some distance, and estimated that she had almost finished walking through the wasteland, but there was no trace of the scarecrow at all.

"It seems that we have successfully cracked down on another place this time. Although we didn't see the scarecrow, we did encounter a lot of mosquitoes. They bit me many times in one night."

When she said this, she saw that the surrounding wasteland was almost finished, so she turned around and walked back.

"Dear friends, we are almost here tonight. Let's check out another place tomorrow. If you have any places you want to go, you can leave a message for me. Those closest to you will be given priority..."

Song Shuting was returning the same way. When she reached the middle of the deserted field, her eyes inadvertently glanced at a certain place in front of her. The words in her mouth were suddenly interrupted and her footsteps stopped involuntarily.

Not far ahead, she saw a figure standing there motionless, as if staring at her.

"What's wrong with the anchor? Why did he stop talking all of a sudden?"

"Holy shit, what is that? Is there someone over there?"

"You can't see clearly, but it doesn't look like a human being. Look at the height and the proportions of the limbs. It's too exaggerated. How could it be a human being?"

"There really isn't a scarecrow, is there? But I didn't see it when I came here! Could it be that it was too dark, so I missed it?"

"..."

In the live broadcast room, the barrage scrolled rapidly for a while, but Song Shuting was no longer in the mood to check it at the moment. All her attention was attracted by the figure not far ahead, and her little heart "thumped" at this time.
Chapter completed!
