The mountain scenery, to put it bluntly, is the lush sea of ​​trees.

The sea of ​​trees is combed and dense, but there is a slightly sparse area under the mountain wall on the upward steps where they are.

There is a reason for the sparseness. You can see obvious signs of being crushed and cut down.

The crushing was probably caused by someone falling from a high place; the cutting was probably done deliberately by the people who came to collect the corpses in order to clean up the corpses.

The combination of the two creates the bare landscape below and a slightly darker land. The dark brown soil is wet, and there seems to be traces of deep red from the inside.

When I blinked again, I could see nothing. On the ground below lay only newly fallen gravel slabs, cyan, light gray and tooth white mixed together.

Before Bai Su was called back, he was observing the color.

But when asked what he was looking at, Bai Su said he was looking at flattened grass.

"Flattened grass?"

"Yeah, I didn't see it because it was blocked by a tree in front of me. If I look down from this side, there are all tree stumps underneath."

After Bai Su said it, the other people also pretended to glance at it a few times and pretended to have seen it.

After hearing this, Wen Jianyuan smiled and gave an explanation: "We in the village took the initiative to cut it down after discussion. Although it might be a bit of a blocker if we keep it, it also blocks the view. In the end, we decided to clean it up to make it easier to carry out some work."

Operation."

The operation was self-evident. The middle-aged man continued to lead everyone up. After walking for about ten minutes, the real village entrance appeared in front of them.

"Wen Tao" stopped in front of a stone tablet: "Well, this is?"

The stone tablet was newly engraved, with the words "Wenjiacun" written on it in a somewhat rounded and unusual font.

What is strange is that the stele is newly carved, but the moss attached to it seems to have experienced years of wind and rain, and has been deeply integrated with the stele.

Observer Bai Su stretched out his hand and pulled, and the turf he picked up was embedded inside the stone monument. If he applied more force, a small section of the upper half of the stone monument would be pulled off.

Whose newly engraved monument looks like this?

Unexpectedly, Wen Jianyuan actually gave an explanation. The middle-aged man said that this was a stone that had been selected in their village a long time ago, but there was no one who decided to engrave the monument. He kept dragging it until it ended up like this.

.

"Wen Tao" hesitated to speak, wanting to complain.

The state of this stone tablet does not look like it has been left alone for a long time.

"It wasn't until half a year ago that the master who carved the stele came to the village. We didn't replace it until he finished carving it."

This sentence brought an end to the topic of the stone tablet. The group of people continued walking inside. When they passed the stone tablet, only Bai Su, who was at the end, paused slightly.

On the invisible backside, another round eyeball lifts up the hair on the back of the head.

Bai Su looked back, and he saw a newly carved stone tablet that was submerged by calf-high grass, and a small broken old stone slab standing there.

The front is no longer visible, but on the back, faintly exposed among the grass blades, are a few lines of red writing that fade with the wind and time, which seem to be some introductions and records of the village.

What is this kind of thing called? Village Chronicle?

The bulging eyeballs rolled twice. Since the main body was moving farther and farther away, it had to stretch a little, not too long, so as not to make the humans in front feel strange.

As for what to separate? It feels like it’s not yet time, it’s just a incomplete slate.

The blurred words written in small letters finally drifted into the field of vision.

——[■■■■■On the eighth ■■ day, ■■■ was born in ■■■■——■■ Village.]

……

We walked into Wenjia Village and saw that it was not much different from the ordinary mountain villages.

The houses are in perfect condition, and chickens and dogs can hear each other. The difference from the famous records in ancient times is that there are some modern equipment in the village, such as wires, pipes, etc.

It is worth mentioning that there are some signs of lights and colorful decorations in Wenjia Village, which is related to the happy events Wen Jianyuan mentioned before, either because of the wedding or the birthday banquet.

We’ll talk about those things later. The most important thing now is to find a place for the group of people to stay.

Wen Jianyuan pointed to the village and introduced to "Wen Tao" the changes in the village over the years.

"Wen Tao" Some nodded and responded, while others thought for a while, shook their heads and said they didn't remember.

In her opinion, this is a more realistic reaction. How can people remember everything? It doesn't matter even if they are wrong. What she needs is a mixture of truth and falsehood.

After entering the main road of the village and walking for seven or eight minutes, I met a few elderly people sitting in front of their homes basking in the sun. After saying hello and chatting for a while, they continued walking, then turned left and walked for another two minutes, arriving at a

There is a locked courtyard door.

Wen Jianyuan said towards the door: "This is the house left by your parents. I have the spare key. Your aunt and I clean it regularly. The last time we cleaned it was after I sent you a message. Did you bring the key with you?"

”

"Wen Tao" nodded and took out the key from the bag he carried with him.

When Wen Jianyuan saw them, he felt relieved and invited them to his house for dinner in the evening.

People like them who suddenly returned to the village for a short stay would not be able to get the ingredients to cook for a while, so they could only go to the homes of relatives and friends to make do with a few meals.

If you no longer have any relatives, you can only ask the kind-hearted people with the same surname in the village to help you, but in Wenjia Village, they will probably respond.

Wen Jianyuan dropped the people off and left. Before leaving, he repeated his invitation to them to have dinner at his house and said that his wife was also looking forward to their arrival.

"Wen Tao" responded twice, then quickly opened the lock on the door with the key, and led all the people into the courtyard. Once the door was closed, the outside sound was cut off.

The underage high school student looked at each other with the short-haired police officer and the glasses police officer, and the three quickly began to inspect the house where they were about to stay.

Bai Su, who was left behind, looked around the yard and the house with interest, shook his head at the three of them, and then started to stare at "Wen Tao".

Qi Zhuyue, who had been tensing up since the beginning of the meeting and pretending to be someone else, was stared at by her own people not long after she relaxed. She crossed her arms and took a step aside.

"Mr. Bai, aren't you going to check it out with us?" Go and check it out quickly, don't stay here anymore. She is so stressed!

The black-haired young man raised his eyelids and glanced at the building again: "Isn't this something you can tell at a glance? It's not a big problem."

Maybe there is a slight problem, but it is not serious, and there is no trap designed by the supernatural as humans fear.

After Qi Zhuyue heard this, a big question mark appeared in her heart, but she no longer wanted to ask how she could tell it at a glance.

Since she was still in the village and couldn't take off her disguise, she rubbed her face and changed the topic: "Looking at the village along the way, it seems to be quite normal on the surface, except that the humidity is a bit high."

"It's strange that the humidity is so high...what season is this?" The response came from a distant house. The short-haired police officer wearing sunglasses walked out of one room and turned directly into the next room.

There are signs of rain on the road."

Yes, a dirt road, a dirt road that can cause you to step into puddles if you are not careful. It makes people feel bad just looking at it.

There are water drops slowly dripping on the roof tiles, and there are some mud spots on the trousers. Fortunately, the ground material in the yard is different, so people have the courage to step on it.

Qi Zhuyue: "I think compared to the rain, the road seemed to have been soaked in water for several days...it was too difficult to walk."

The human woman sighed faintly. The living conditions were not bad, but this village always gave her a vague premonition.

It should be said that it deserves to be the mountain village that is pointed to the source of the doppelgänger?

Qi Zhuyue sighed. After the inspection of the house over there, rooms could be divided. She planned to invite Bai Su to go in with her. When she turned her head, she found that the black-haired young man was no longer beside her.

Qi Zhuyue: When did you leave? Why was there no sound?

The human woman looked around the yard blankly, and finally found a black-haired young man on a tree planted in the yard... a persimmon tree. Wen Tao's memory told her that it was a persimmon tree.

She no longer wanted to ask how Bai Su climbed up. She saw the black-haired young man sitting on a thick branch and looking in the direction outside the courtyard. His sight was long and she didn't know where it would land.

"You two, come in quickly!" Xia Chengyin, who had not seen anyone pass by for a long time, called back outside the house. He glanced out of the corner of his eye and caught a glimpse of two figures above and below the tree, "...Why are you up in the tree? Hey,

Did you find anything?"

Bai Su didn't nod or shake his head, he just jumped down from the tree like a cat.

He made eye contact with the short-haired police officer and raised his chin: "The fog is a bit heavy and the air quality is not very good."

To be precise, the mountains and this village were filled with a rotten smell. To humans, it was just damp water vapor, but to him... there was also a fishy smell.

It’s not like he doesn’t eat fish.

It’s this unprocessed fishy smell that really doesn’t taste good.

Bai Su pinched his nose and followed the human into the house.

The house was inspected and no problems were found. There were no surveillance problems at either the scientific or metaphysical level. From a structural point of view, it was an ordinary residence.

As for the furniture and items inside, after a quick glance, they all have a sense of age, and they were purchased a long time ago.

The house left by Wen Tao's parents in the village has two rooms for people to live in. One room has an obvious atmosphere of children and girls, and the other room should be occupied by a couple.

Now the problem comes, there are five of them.

It is known that Qi Zhuyue must have a single room, and the remaining room must accommodate four people... It is definitely impossible.

Go and stay with other people in the village... I won’t consider it for now.

In the end, humans decided to move the table on the kang. After the crowds were crowded, it became impossible to build a floor bed. If that didn't work, they would drive Gao Tianyi to sleep in the utility room next door.

Underage high school students: "Crooked?"

Underage high school student: "Are you here? Why are you persecuting me?"

After Gao Tianyi argued hard, he was not driven to sleep in the utility room. Instead, he forced Xia Chengyin, who made the suggestion, to lay the floor together.
To be continued...
