Xiao Ming's eyes were withdrawn from A Liu's back as he gradually disappeared, and he looked at the cook who was staring in the same direction and said, "They have all left, why are you still here?"

"Oh, I'm a poor Ah Liu. Look at such a big man, the old lady has left, and there is still someone to take care of him. I can't just betray my heart, right?"

"Oh, does Ah Liu have any other relatives besides the old lady?"

The cook slowly withdrew his gaze and shook his head and said, "It seems that no, their family is very complicated, and the family is rich peasants. In the early years, their family was full of glory, and they had to be windy and rainy. Later, the times changed, and their family suffered. The old lady's husband was captured by a group of unknown people. The old lady was carrying a dementia of a big and half, and she suffered a lot, and her eyes were blinded. Later, her husband could not bear the mental pressure and psychological endurance collapsed, and she jumped off the building and committed suicide that night."

While speaking, Xiao Ming walked to the stone stairs at the door, stopped and answered the question irrelevantly: "I committed suicide by jumping off the building,"

The cook looked at him with a complicated expression, and suddenly pointed to the position where he stood and said, "It's just that I'm dying here..."

The cook's words were shocked and Xiao Ming jumped nervously. He had already dodged apart, two feet away, and his eyes were staring at the stone stairs. There was indeed a dark mark on the stone stairs. The dark mark should not be the bloodstains left by the suicide. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but dare to step forward and rub it hard with his feet.

The darkness on the stone stairs seemed to be a kind of stain. No matter how he rubbed it, he was still the same. The cook looked at Xiao Ming's actions, and was puzzled for a moment. He opened his mouth to say something, and suddenly there was a rush of criticism from the door.

‘Bangbang…bangbang…’

At almost the same time, the two turned their heads and looked at the door behind them, and were guessing that they didn't know who would knock on the door at this time.

Xiao Ming is a man, so men must be responsible. This is what the master once taught him, and it is engraved in his heart as always. Xiao Ming, under the cook's fearful gaze, tidied up his clothes, rolled up his sleeves, said nothing more, walked towards the door with steady steps.

With a 'bang', the door opened, and a cold wind swarmed in. At the same time, I saw a few people standing at the door. Xiao Ming looked closely and saw that they were just the young people who stopped him on the road and asked how to go to Menling Village.

While the door was opened, the people inside and outside were stunned at the same time...

"You..." Both sides spoke in unison. The person outside the door, the girl with beautiful eyes, had a pale face and opened her mouth, looking like she wanted to speak but stopped.

"You guys talk about it first, what are you doing here," Xiao Ming asked.

"We... we got lost and saw this, so we knocked on the door." The girl was filled with tears and looked charming, which made Xiao Ming feel pity. He did not move away and turned his head to look at the cook behind him. The cook is now a temporary supervisor in the old house. Only she has the right to decide whether to keep them.

With a glance and a glance, they understood each other's meaning. The cook nodded to him silently and agreed to his request.

"Uh, that's it, then, come in," Xiao Ming moved away from his body blocking the door and let them in.

The merchandise outside the door came in one after another. The cook counted carefully. There were eight people in total. The girl who looked like Ran Qin, walked at the end and threw a shy and uneasy smile when she passed by him.

According to Xiao Ming's careful observation, they must have encountered something bad, which made them look so panicked and dusty. As expected, with the chef carefully settled down, they drank water while telling the horror journey along the way.

Xiao Ming learned from their self-introduction that the girl who looked very much like Ran Qin was named Jiang Rong, the rest were her classmates, friends, and a handsome guy who admired her.

Jiang Rong has had a strong interest in comics since she was a child. As she said before, after the teacher's guidance, she learned why her comics could not be recognized by others. It was because she lacked something called spiritual energy.

That's why she invited a few friends and classmates to visit the legendary ghost village, Menling Village, during the holiday.

Xiao Ming also asked who told her about Menling Village.

Jiang Rong said it was told by a mysterious person that she still didn't know who this person was. That is, when she was thinking hard and wondering how to explore the aura, she walked on the school playground while she was going to the bathroom and a leaf fell from her head, and the words "Menling Village" were written on it.

Her little story is really weird. Except for the classmates and friends who came with her, Xiao Ming and the cook didn't quite understand it.

Isn’t the Liu Construction Incident just an explanation? A person’s imagination transcends the scope of human thinking and becomes a conjecture, which is what people call it, rhetoric, self-fantasy, self-setting obstacles, self-finding reasons, and letting oneself fall into this non-existent fantasy.

Jiang Rong saw from the other party's disdainful expression that she felt distrustful and felt very wronged. "Brother, aunt, I didn't lie, we really found this village, but..." As she spoke, she showed a terrifying expression on her face and said stutteringly: "Just when we were about to enter the village chief, a very terrifying person appeared,"

Next is Jiang Rong's narrative...

Jiang Rong and others laughed at Xiao Ming's warning. They thought that this person must be bullying them, not locals, and deliberately used these words to scare them.

Because of the lessons of the past, they decided not to ask for directions, but instead rely on a cheap local map purchased at the station to find the legendary Menling Village.

I imagine that nothing is wrong. According to the scheduled time, starting from Tongchuan County, passing through other small villages, passing through Donghua Village, and entering the boundary of Menling Village, it will only take one or two hours to go.

But things often went unexpectedly and were warned by Xiao Ming on the road, but they did not listen. According to the direction indicated by the map, they saw a deserted and devastated village appearing in sight.

One by one, broken walls, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, and one by one, one by one, and one by one, and one by one, one by one, was running down the ridge of the mountain with joy, and the sky suddenly became gloomy, and the lead-gray clouds gathered thicker and thicker, and they were wandering above their heads.
