Su Qin told the old woman why he was here, and the old woman nodded and said, "My name is Li Xiulian, and this is my son, Li Tieniu." He pointed to the tall man under him.

Su Qin was a little surprised. At this age? The old woman looked to be in her seventies or eighties. This tall guy looked like she was only in her thirties at most. How could she...

The old woman ignored Su Qin's surprise and continued: "There are not many households in the village anymore, and there are very few outsiders. I haven't seen anyone from other villages except you today. Your friend should not be here.

", paused and looked at the sky.

"It looks like it's going to rain heavily. If you don't mind, you can stay at my house for just one night. When it's daytime tomorrow, I'll ask Tieniu to take you out."

Seeing Su Qin looking at Tieniu with a surprised expression, Li Xiulian sighed silently and said, "He was conceived when I was older. He was born with intellectual problems and was stupid and silly. Suddenly he saw you.

This person from a foreign village is the only one who is hostile to you, I hope you won’t be offended."

He shook his head to show that he didn't care about it.

Li Xiulian patted Tieniu's head, and Tieniu grinned at Su Qin, very honest and honest, not as fierce as before.

Immediately, Tieniu carried Li Xiulian and walked down the mountain. Seeing this, Su Qin followed him.

While walking, Li Xiulian explained to Su Qin: "Tie Niu and I usually only come here when we are hunting in the mountains, picking herbs and firewood. We usually live down there."

As they chatted, Su Qin also learned that there were two other households in the village. One was Old Man Li's house. In addition to Old Man Li, there was also a little girl who was only twelve or thirteen years old. The other house was that of Old Man Li.

Aunt Wang, who lives next door to the old man, is the only one left in her family. According to Li Xiulian, she is a little crazy and she calls for her grandson all day long.

Su Qin also asked about the strange things in the village, but was scorned by Li Xiulian.

"Those are all lies made up by officials to cover up their crimes. There is no ghost or murderer."

He was shocked and continued to ask, but Li Xiulian remained silent.

Seeing this, Su Qin didn't ask any more questions.

They were speechless all the way until they reached the door of a slightly dilapidated house, and Li Xiulian motioned to Tieniu to put her down.

"Go in, you sleep in the room on the right. My old man used to sleep there. After he left, I still cleaned it from time to time."

After hearing this, Su Qin nodded and went in.

"Want to eat something? Tieniu and I will get some sweet potatoes to eat."

"No, I'm quite tired today. I want to go to bed early."

"Then please help yourself." Li Xiulian took Tieniu to the kitchen.

After they left, Su Qin had time to observe the house. The house didn't look big, with only four rooms. The two rooms on the left seemed to be for mother and son, the one on the right belonged to his wife, and the other room was the kitchen.

, it is said to be a kitchen, but in fact it is just a simple earthen stove, where you can make something hot to eat.

"So? Mother and son are the only ones left in the family to depend on each other, so why didn't Li Xiulian and her husband live in the same room before? Or did she move to another room after his death? It doesn't make sense..." Su

Qin thought as he pushed the door open and went in.

When he entered the door, he saw a mirror directly opposite him, which reflected Su Qin's appearance. "Why is this mirror placed here? It's so scary." He walked to the mirror and moved it to another position.

Looking again, there is a desk, a bench, and a bed.

Although the mattress was patched, it was still clean, and there was no heavy dust in the room. It looked like it was cleaned regularly.

Rumble!

There was loud thunder outside, and in an instant, it started pouring rain.

Without giving anyone a chance to take precautions, the rain was like a hole in the sky, pouring water straight down.

"It seems that we can't find Lao Wang tonight. It shouldn't be anything big. After all, we were still playing on the phone yesterday. Maybe we're looking for excitement? We just came to this remote village. I don't understand the life of a rich person.

"

I comforted myself for a while and then lay on the bed.

I looked at my phone and found that there was still no signal, and the battery level showed less than 10%.

He searched in the room and didn't find the charger, so he got up and wanted to ask if there was a charger. After all, he had to take a taxi out tomorrow. Although there might not be anyone to take the order, if it didn't work, he could ask someone else to pick it up.

But when he walked to the kitchen, he found no one.

Weird? Didn’t you just say making something to eat?

Su Qin had deep doubts in his heart.

After calling several times and getting no response, Su Qin felt a little nervous. He opened the door to other rooms, but still found no one.

I couldn't help but mutter in my heart: "Did you see a ghost again?"

Fortunately, I had seen enough, so I didn't feel too scared. I walked back to the room and lay on the bed with my eyes closed to relax.

The soldiers will come to cover up the water and earth. Let's talk about it later.

Accompanied by the sound of thunder and rain, Su Qin quickly fell into a deep sleep.

While he was sleeping, he vaguely felt someone coming to his bedside, seeming to want to do something.

He tried his best to open his eyes, but he felt exhausted all over and his eyelids seemed to be filled with lead, unable to open them at all.

The next second, he fell asleep again.

By the time he woke up again, it was already midnight.

At this time, the rain had gradually subsided, and it was ticking along the eaves and hitting the ground, adding a bit of sound to the quiet night.

Su Qin straightened up and found that he had a headache. He looked at the desk beside the bed and found two sweet potatoes on it. When he touched it, there was only a trace of warmth left.

Come to think of it, the person who was at my bedside just now must have been Li Xiulian or Tieniu. It turned out that they were afraid that I would be hungry, so they brought me sweet potatoes.

I thought in my heart.

I took the sweet potato in my hand, peeled it off, and ate one in two or three mouthfuls. Not to mention, it tasted good.

I ate another sweet potato after three times, five by two, and felt my belly. It was barely enough to cushion my stomach. There was nothing to choose from here.

After eating sweet potatoes, Su Qin felt much more energetic and his sleepiness receded. Su Qin thought about going out to get some fresh air.

Pushing open the door gently, the wooden door made a creaking sound, which seemed very abrupt in the quiet night.

After a pause, he realized that he didn't wake them up, so he quietly walked to the door.

After a heavy rain, the dark clouds dispersed, revealing the bright moonlight.

By the moonlight, Su Qin looked towards the village on the mountain.

I actually saw a light, which looked like a flashlight. A straight beam of light swept around, as if looking for something.

Unfortunately, it was a bit far away, and Su Qin could only vaguely see a dark figure, but he couldn't tell whether it was a man or a woman, old or young.

I was even more surprised. It was already midnight, and there were still people looking for things here? This village is really weird.

"Aren't you asleep yet?" A sudden voice came from behind.

Su Qin turned around and found Li Xiulian standing behind him, and casually replied that he would go to the toilet.

Her face was expressionless, she glanced in the direction Su Qin was looking, and said, "That's Aunt Wang, she seems to be looking for her granddaughter again."

Su Qin was surprised that her eyes were so good. He was not sure whether it was a man, woman, or child, but she actually concluded that it was Aunt Wang.

Seemingly sensing Su Qin's doubts, she explained: "Ever since her granddaughter disappeared, she has gone up the mountain to look for her in the middle of the night every day. She said that her granddaughter was abducted and it has been so long, so she can still be found."

After finishing, he sighed.

"Grandma Li, why don't you move out?" Su Qin asked the question in his heart. Logically speaking, everyone has left, so what reason is there to stay here.

"If I don't move, I will stay here. Those people have no conscience and will be punished sooner or later." After saying something careless, Li Xiulian turned around and returned to the room.

Although Su Qin still had doubts in his heart, he could not find an answer.

"I forgot to say thank you to her, those two sweet potatoes, oh no, the charger also forgot to ask."

"Forget it, let's talk about it tomorrow. Since she doesn't want to talk about things in the village, don't worry about it. It's better to go to bed early and go look for Lao Wang tomorrow morning. Once you find her, go back early."

"According to what she said, it's impossible for Aunt Wang to be there, so it's possible that Lao Wang is temporarily staying at Uncle Li's house."

"Just go there and have a look tomorrow morning." Thinking of this, Su Qin also returned to the room and prepared to sleep.

But just when he was about to fall asleep, Lao Wang's cry for help seemed to float in the distance.

"Su Qin! Save me! Save me!"

Su Qin stood up and listened carefully, but the voice seemed to disappear again.

Hallucination?

He thought for a while and decided to go out and take a look.

He walked to the door again. This time there was no light from the flashlight on the mountain, but through the moonlight, he found that not far from him, there was a figure pulling another person up the mountain. The person tried his best to resist, but

Didn't break free.

Judging from his body shape, he looks a bit like Lao Wang.

Su Qin hesitated for a while, but decided to follow him. If it was really Lao Wang, he would lose this friend.

He ran in the direction of the figure.

"Hey? Where is the person? I just saw him here."
