Xiaorui and I waited until the sun went down before checking out of the hotel. It was still a long way to the place Xiaorui mentioned. At this time, there were no minibuses or taxis in the small place. It was not easy to get there.

We hired a tractor at several times the price. When the tractor driver heard where we were going, he only agreed to drive us half the way, saying that there was a ghost in that place and it would be dangerous to get too close.

There are always various ghost stories circulating among the people, especially in rural areas. Xiaorui has already been there once. Of course I don't believe that this trip will be dangerous, but the driver who drives the car refuses to agree to it. I have no choice but to do so.

After agreeing, I thought of Xiaorui going to such a place alone for me or for her ideals, and I couldn't help but look at her even more highly.

The tractor drove for about two hours. The master stopped the truck and said that it was about an hour's drive away. Then he helped me move a second-hand car I bought from a small town. He talked while moving it.

: "It's really strange why you outsiders are so interested in these things, and you are not afraid of getting dirty things."

I heard something was wrong in the words and hurriedly asked: "Has anyone else been to this place?"

The master said: "Yes, even a few days ago, I came at night, and happened to be on my tractor."

I hurriedly asked: "What does that person look like?"

The master thought for a while and said, "I didn't see it clearly. She was wrapped up tightly, but the voice should be that of a young woman with a foreign accent."

My heart immediately tightened, and I turned to look at Xiaorui. Xiaorui shook her head slightly at me. My heart immediately sank. Previously, I had speculated whether this mysterious person was Xiaorui. Now Xiaorui's

Judging from the performance, it shouldn't be her. Since this person is not Xiaorui, then it is most likely the woman in the Dream Club who delivered the package to my house.

I hurriedly asked again: "Did you see when she left?"

The master shook his head and said, "It's strange. It seems that none of us saw her come out. Do you think she is not a human being? Otherwise, who would go to a place like this in the middle of the night?" As soon as the words came out, he shuddered.

, spitting on the ground a few times, poohing a few times, and said: "Then I'll leave first, you guys be careful." While looking at us with strange eyes, he hurriedly turned around and drove back, thinking of

What he said just now, maybe he thought we were ghosts.

The town is so poor. I originally wanted to buy two bicycles, but I could only find one truck. I wanted to buy a new one for Xiaorui, but she refused and said it was a waste of money. Anyway, she knew the road and could ride a bicycle.

It only takes an hour at most, and the road isn't too rough, so just let me take her with me.

Since Xiaorui disagreed, I didn’t force it. Anyway, it shouldn’t be a heavy task for me to take care of someone, not to mention riding a bicycle with my beloved girl on the road to realize her dream. This is no matter what.

It was far better than my mother's super invincible tricks. I stepped on the seat cushion, then patted the back seat. Xiaorui smiled slightly and sat on it.

I originally wanted her to sit in the front. I didn’t know how many times I had dreamed about the scene of the night breeze blowing my long hair on my face, but after all, I was too thin-skinned to say anything. After Xiaorui got in the car, she said: "Okay.

, let’s go.”

I stepped on the pedal, rode a few steps, and said, "You are so light, as if no one is sitting on you." Xiaorui didn't say anything, and gently put her hand around my waist, and my heart immediately became unsatisfactory.

When I started to beat, I felt that my lips were dry, my usual eloquence had gone, and my whole body seemed to be floating.

Xiaorui was pointing me in the direction behind me. I gradually adapted to this super treatment. I started to say things to her that even I felt were not nutritious. I hated myself so much at this time.

How could I be so dull, but when I spoke the next moment, I became clumsy again. A man and a woman were alone in the wilderness in the dead of night. This was simply a rare and beautiful sight. Even a dead person would be excited. You can't blame me for acting abnormally.

At this moment, Xiaorui suddenly pulled me and said, "Arui, listen!"

I was about to ask: "What?" Xiaorui softly "shushed" and whispered: "Listen."

I pricked up my ears, and suddenly there was a low sobbing sound in the distance where I couldn't see any light. It was vaguely a woman's voice. My hair stood up immediately because I faintly heard the woman say two words.

Word: "Jiangshan."

Xiaorui and I looked at each other, and both saw panic on each other's faces. I took a breath and said cautiously: "Did we hear it wrong, it was the sound of the wind?" But as soon as I said this,

When we heard the woman say two more words, and this time we could all hear them clearly, their faces immediately changed, especially Xiao Rui's face, which turned frighteningly pale.

Because this time we heard the old woman say her name: "Xiao Rui."

I held Xiaorui's hand tightly. Her hand was colder than ice. I could even feel her body shaking. I patted her hand gently and pretended to be nonchalant.

: "It's okay. How about we go back? I will definitely become the best novelist."

Xiaorui shook her head and said, "I'll go alone." Her tone was firm and she would never let me say another sentence.

I sighed. It would be a lie to say I wasn't afraid, but I couldn't do it no matter what if I let the woman I love take risks alone. I stepped on the pedals hard and the car moved forward.

I asked: "Where to ride?"

Xiaorui pointed forward with her hand and said, "That's right there." My heart couldn't help but tremble. That was exactly where the cry came from just now. Xiaorui said, "That coffin is placed there."

Maybe it was because the surroundings were too quiet late at night, so the cry sounded particularly clear and close. Although I could hear the old woman's cry, I still didn't arrive after riding for a long time. Instead, both of them were because of

Nervous and reluctant to speak, I tried to break the ice and asked, "How did you find this place?"

Xiaorui said: "I received a letter and it told me about this place."

I immediately thought of Tao Dingtian and hurriedly asked: "Who signed the letter?"

Sure enough, Xiaorui announced the name I expected: "Chu Jiangshan."

Suddenly you receive a letter from a person who has been dead for many years, telling you to go to a certain place, and then you find a coffin there. This kind of plot that can only appear in horror movies now appears in front of me alive.

He swallowed and asked, "Do you think this is someone playing a prank?"

Ever since Erliang read those letters to me, I have always felt that there is a person hiding somewhere who is silently controlling everything. Chu Jiangshan is dead. Of course, it is impossible to write such a letter again. The only possibility is

Someone impersonated his name and wrote these letters. As for this person's purpose, I haven't thought of it yet.

Xiaorui's voice came from behind, with a bit of confusion: "Those letters, judging from the paper, seem to have been written for a long time, and were only sent out recently."

I was startled, stopped the car, turned around and asked: "You mean that Chu Jiangshan wrote these letters a few years ago, and then someone only sent them out for him now? How could Chu Jiangshan know that many years later?

What's going to happen?"

Xiaorui raised her head and glanced at me: "Have you forgotten about Wang Qiang?"

I was shocked. If what I just said is true, then Wang Qiang may not have died mysteriously, but was murdered, because Chu Jiangshan knew that these things would happen early on. Maybe this was his arrangement, but at that time

Chu Jiangshan was already dead at that time. Even if he had arranged such a situation to kill Wang Qiang, what would be the use?

I told Xiaorui my doubts, and Xiaorui said lightly: "You forgot two people."

I hurriedly asked: "Who?"

Xiaorui said: "Sun Xiaohong and Sister Li, the property management company and the landlord said they have never met these two people."

I thought about it and said, "Could it be that this is just a smoke bomb set by Chu Jiangshan, and there are no two people at all? After all, everything we know about Wang Qiang comes from that letter." But then I rejected my inference.

, because all my previous speculations are based on the facts recorded in the letter. If I deny Sister Li and Sun Xiaohong, naturally there will be no previous conclusion. What's more, I have indeed seen them before.

Such a woman was the woman I saw on the stairs wearing a red dress and showing red teeth on the day Erliang had an accident.

Xiaorui patted me gently and said, "Let's go quickly."

I responded and hurriedly kicked off the car and walked forward. Xiaorui gently leaned her head on my back and suddenly asked me a question: "Arui, do you believe there are ghosts in this world?"

My body stiffened. It was really not a romantic thing to discuss the topic of whether there are ghosts in the world in such a place, but I couldn't say anything to Xiaorui, so I could only answer vaguely: "Probably... no."

?”

Xiaorui spoke softly, not knowing whether she was answering me or talking to herself: "I would rather believe that there are ghosts in this world, so that I can see the people I want to see.

You can also be with them forever, tell me, how wonderful this is." As he spoke, he began to hum a song softly, which was a melody that I was very familiar with: "Only Mother is Good in the World."

Xiaorui's voice was low and vague. At that moment, I even became a little scared. I hurriedly put my foot down and stepped on the car very fast. There seemed to be countless pairs of eyes looking at me in the darkness. I could only fight desperately.

After pedaling hard on the bicycle, I don't know how long it took, Xiaorui said: "We're here." I hurriedly braked, and then I realized that I was covered in sweat. I didn't know whether it was because I was scared or because I was tired.

Xiao Rui said: "Let's walk there. You can't ride a car here." I took off the powerful flashlight tied to the head of the bicycle and looked in the direction Xiao Rui was pointing. There was a big ditch there. I could barely jump over it. The bicycle

But there was no way to take her there, so I locked the car, took Xiaorui's hand and walked forward.

After walking for a short time, we arrived at our destination, which was a common flat-tiled house in the countryside. There were no other houses built here at all, just this lonely row. There was a river behind the house, and you could hear the roar of it.

There was a sound of running water. The big ditch we crossed just now was a diversion canal.

Although the old woman's cry has long since disappeared, I still feel a little nervous standing in such a place. On the contrary, Xiaorui is much calmer than me. She leads the way. This place has obviously been empty for a long time.

People have been here, and there are overgrown weeds. For a moment, I felt like I was back in the backyard of my old house.

The house was not locked. Xiaorui gently pushed it open. There was a musty smell inside, and then there was a sound of rattling. I didn't know if it was a mouse or something else. I shined my flashlight inside.

The house was littered with debris, and there was no coffin in sight.

Xiaorui pointed to the room on the right and said: "Over here." The structure of this common flat-tiled house in the countryside is usually very simple. After entering through the door, there is a hall with an incense table and couplets hanging on it, and then there is a

There is a large square dining table, and there are wing rooms on the left and right sides of the hall. The place Xiaorui pointed to should be the master's bedroom according to custom.

We walked into this room cautiously. In the master bedroom, there was indeed a coffin. Under the illumination of a strong flashlight, I could confirm that the style of this coffin and the patterns engraved on it were the same as the one in the backyard of the old house.

The small black room is exactly the same. I remember Tao Dingtian told me that these patterns are actually Taoist runes that few people know. Their function is to absorb the Yin energy between heaven and earth. What is the purpose of Chu Jiangshan placing such a coffin in his room?
