The tall man asked: "Where did this thing come from?"

My heart tightened. Erliang seemed to be afraid of tall people in front of me, but now he looked as if nothing had happened and said: "Before I came here, I was afraid that I would not be familiar with the environment, so I looked everywhere for information, and finally got this one.

It was said to be painted by someone in the village several years ago, but I didn’t know whether it was true or not, so I brought it here. I don’t know what these worn-out shoes mean, but I always feel a little scared.”

The tall man turned the paper over and looked at it again. He whispered "hehe" twice noncommittally and said, "It's Chu Jiangshan again. You are really haunted." I didn't understand what he meant by this either.

Erliang asked cautiously: "Then... you're not going?"

The tall man said: "This piece of paper of yours must be old, but the intersections were still in good condition when we came in. It can be seen that this is just someone deliberately causing trouble behind the scenes." At this point, he looked at Erliang and said

: "I guess you don't really believe in these things yourself, otherwise why didn't you bring them out until now?"

The tall man's analysis made sense, but what he didn't know was that this piece of paper was not the information Erliang had collected outside. Erliang blushed: "But this piece of paper is a novel written by Chu Jiangshan!"

The implication is that the following sketch may have something to do with Chu Jiangshan.

The tall man sneered and said: "You are all afraid of Chu Jiangshan. In my opinion, it is just a dream. It's up to you whether you go or not. I'll leave first." After that, he didn't care about us and took care of himself.

Walk towards the village.

Erliang looked at me with a sad face. I sighed and followed the tall man away. From the bottom of my heart, I actually had an inexplicable fear of the tall man. Maybe it was because I had discovered something about him in the past few days.

There were too many weird things, but if I didn’t follow him to the village, sleeping outdoors at night would be dangerous even with Erliang’s equipment, so I had no choice but to choose to go into the village with him. Erliang saw

I followed suit and had no choice but to follow him with a grimace.

Since we have chosen not to believe that there is danger in this village, or according to Erliang, since every house is dangerous according to the signs on the sketch, it doesn’t matter which house we stay in for the night, we just randomly enter one.

It didn’t look like a shabby house, with a small yard inside. It was not too late at this time, and there was snow reflection in the yard, so the light was not too dark. We saw one wall of the yard.

There is a black and white portrait of an old man hanging on it. We have also seen this photo on the Internet. It is said that it was dropped on the ground when it was discovered by the expedition team. Later, out of respect for the deceased, it was picked up and hung again.

on the wall.

When Erliang saw this portrait, he immediately went out and moved to another house, saying that although every house was dangerous, at least he didn't know what those ghosts looked like. But when Fairy A saw a portrait of the deceased here, according to the

According to the custom here, most of the old man is buried near the house. Now that I live in someone else's house, I always feel that the old man's eyes in that photo are staring at me, and I feel a little embarrassed.

The tall man naturally ignored Erliang's words. Erliang looked at me and said, "I can't help it. To be honest, I have some strange feelings in my heart, but I can't say it out loud. The most important thing is that I feel that the tall man can survive in the wild."

His ability should be stronger than the rest of us. If I leave him, I'm afraid that with Erliang and I being half-assed, something could easily happen. Besides, it only lasts one night, so just get over it. So I suggest that we continue.

If you stay here, since you feel like you are living in someone else's house, you should bow to this portrait to express your apology.

Erliang was quite in favor of my proposal. He took out a piece of cloth from somewhere and stepped forward to clean the glass on the portrait. Erliang and I stood up to greet the tall man and bowed to the portrait together.

After a few bows, at the end of the bow, I slowly straightened up and naturally looked at the portrait with my eyes. But in an instant, my body stiffened suddenly, and my scalp suddenly exploded.

Opened: Through the glass of the portrait, I saw a small figure far behind us. Although the figure was small, I could still see it clearly. It was a woman wearing a

Wearing a black dress, her head lowered, her long hair hanging down, I couldn't see her face, but I could see her feet, which were wearing a pair of red embroidered shoes.

After being stunned for a moment, I screamed loudly, which startled both the tall man and Erliang. Erliang was even more frightened. He didn't know what happened and also screamed. Finally, he was shouted out by the tall man.

After drinking to calm down, the tall man and I looked at me blankly and asked: "What did you see just now?"

I pointed to the portrait and stammered: "Shoes...a pair of embroidered shoes."

Erliang's face immediately turned extremely pale. The tall man had a gloomy face. He held the knife in his hand tighter. He stepped forward and looked at the portrait. He shook his head at me and said, "No."

I said anxiously: "How is it possible? I obviously saw it." As I said that, I looked at the portrait, but there was nothing in front of me except the black and white old man. I opened my mouth and looked at it blankly.

Tall and Erliang, I did see a woman wearing red embroidered shoes and a black skirt on the portrait just now. Why can't I see it in the blink of an eye?

Erliang kept complaining that I said people were scary, but the tall man remained silent. After a while, he asked me how I saw that woman. I thought about it and said it carefully.

After pondering for a while, I stood in my position, then bent down and bowed to the portrait. I bowed and looked at the portrait again and again. After a while, I saw that his body also stiffened. I knew that he had also seen it.

Before the woman could say anything, the tall man suddenly turned around and looked up at the yard. After a while, he pointed with his hand and said to us: "Look there!"

Looking along his finger, there is a doll hanging very high on the back of the courtyard door. She is wearing a long black dress, her face is invisible due to her long hair, and she is wearing a pair of red embroidered shoes.

At this moment we all realized that what we saw in the portrait just now should be this doll. It can only be seen at a specific angle, so the tall man and Erliang also bowed with me but found nothing. However, the light was not

It was so good that I regarded this originally small doll as being far away from me.

Erliang cursed loudly: "Who hung this here? I almost died of fright." After he finished cursing, he came to his senses and hurriedly bowed and apologized to the portrait and doll, saying that his childish words were innocent and asked them not to remember.

Little man, wait a minute. The tall man found a stick and pulled the doll off the wall, brushing its hair away. The doll's head was hanging down, with a rope tied around its neck. Its two eye sockets were hollow.

Let us think of one person at the same time: Xiaorui.

Because they have the same memories, everyone can understand many things without explanation. Looking at the expressions on their faces, I know that they must have remembered the girl who made my heart beat in the hypnotic world just like me. However,

Is she real? Where is she?

What they don't know is that this isn't the first time I've seen such a doll here.

At this moment, suddenly there was another strange scream outside, and the old man shouted again: "Only one can live." The tall man threw the doll into my hand and rushed out immediately. I just felt that the doll

Her hair was extremely smooth, just like real hair. I lowered my head and looked at the two empty eye sockets, and I actually felt that the corners of her mouth were slightly raised as she smiled at me.

I yelled and threw the doll out. Erliang was startled by me again and asked: "What's wrong?" I quickly said it was okay, then adjusted my breathing and said: "Let's go over and see who is talking.

Whether that thing is a ghost or a human, he definitely knows more about the secrets of this village than we do, and it depends on him whether he can get out."

Erliang said hello and rushed out immediately. He was extremely fast. I don't know whether it was because he was really strong or because he was afraid of this house. He actually ran faster than me with such a big backpack on his back. I followed him.

Behind me, I somehow remembered the pair of small footprints that appeared at the door after he followed the tall man out that day. The tall man said that they were made by a pair of red embroidered shoes. Later, these footprints followed Erliang, and so did I.

I haven't found a chance to ask Erliang if he has seen such a woman or such a pair of embroidered shoes.

As I ran, I thought: Was she the same as me now when she followed Erliang that day?
