We were sitting in the car along the way, and no one spoke in the old house. Our faces were as heavy as water. Chaoxiang and I looked outside from time to time, while Xiaoli kept his eyes closed and rested, leaning against me.
on the shoulders.
After driving for about an hour and a half, the driver stopped the car and spoke.
"Go forward for nearly a mile, and you will find the entrance to Donghe Village. Remember to go straight down along this road."
After hearing what the driver said, Lao Wu paid the taxi fare. The driver said he didn't want to pay so much. In the end, the driver couldn't resist Lao Wu and gave Lao Wu a mobile phone number before leaving.
If we wanted to use a car, it would also be at this location, and he could pick us up. After Lao Wu took the phone number, he thanked the driver again and again, and the driver drove away.
The four of us stood on the road and looked towards Donghe Village. Just as the driver said, there was a thick white fog all the way to the left and right in front of us.
"Don't worry, Old Wu. Your friend is from the same background as you, and his abilities are probably similar to yours. He will not be in danger."
Chang Xiao patted Old Wu on the shoulder and spoke to comfort him.
After hearing what Chang Xiao said, Old Wu forced an extremely ugly smile on his face.
"I know, but I didn't expect the situation here to be so serious. If you two are worried, it's not too late for you to return now."
After I heard what Lao Wu said, I immediately became unhappy and started talking.
"Old Wu, what are you talking about? When I was in danger, you didn't consider your own safety to help me. Now that you are in trouble, how could I not help you?"
After Chang Xiao heard what I said, he nodded and said.
"Yes, Lao Wu, don't say anything unnecessary. Let's see if we can find the village while the sun is shining."
When Lao Wu heard what Chang Xiao and I said, he was extremely grateful, while Xiao Li also spoke at the side.
"Yes, I will also do my part."
Lao Wu was so moved that he couldn't say anything. Just like that, when a few of us walked along the road for about a mile, there was thick fog in front of us.
"Old Wu, have you ever been here before? Apart from this main road, are there no small roads to enter the village?"
After hearing Chang Xiao's question, Old Wu thought for a while and said.
"There is indeed a path, but with such a heavy fog now, I can't tell where it is."
Chang Xiao was a little disappointed after hearing what Lao Wu said.
"In that case, let's go down this road."
As Changxiao spoke, he took out a few talisman papers from his backpack, gave one to each of us, and then spoke.
"You all have the ability to prevent those evil spirits from getting close to you. This talisman is used for locating. If we get separated and encounter danger and tear this talisman, others can know your location."
We took Chang Xiao and the blessings from the empire and put them close to us, and then we walked side by side into the thick fog.
When we first walked into the thick fog, there was no other strange feeling. The fog felt not much different from ordinary fog, except that the concentration was a little higher.
"Is there anything strange?"
Chang Xiao asked.
"Master, I don't think there's anything special about this fog."
After hearing Chang Xiao's question, I opened my mouth to answer.
"I didn't feel anything special."
Lao Wu's voice rang next to me, and at this moment my hand seemed to have been touched by something, which made me tremble.
"what!"
"Brother, it's me!"
Xiaoli's voice rang beside me.
I heard the voice of Xiaoli, so I tried to reach out and touch him in that direction. Sure enough, I touched a soft touch as soon as I stretched out my hand, and then I caught it in my hand.
"Senior brother, can you please pull me away?"
After Xiaoli's hand was caught in my hand, he spoke to me.
"Okay, I'll take you away!"
Feeling Xiaoli's soft and tender hands, I spoke.
Lao Wu and Chang Xiao heard the conversation between the two of us. They didn't say anything, they just laughed a few times.
Although the fog was thick at first, we could still see each other's figures. But when we walked for about 20 minutes, the density of the fog gradually increased, and gradually we could no longer see each other's figures.
"Master, Lao Wu!"
I opened my mouth and shouted.
"Xiao Yi, I'm here!"
"Xiao Yi, I'm here too!"
Lao Wu and Chang Pin answered. After I heard their voices, I felt more at ease and spoke.
"The density of this fog is getting higher and higher. We can't see each other clearly. How about we use a red rope to pull them together?"
I started talking, and after hearing my proposal, Old Wu and Chang Xiao agreed. Then Old Wu took out a red rope from his backpack, and the few of us used this red rope to tie each other's wrists.
.
Although Xiaoli and I were holding hands, to ensure safety, I also tied a red rope to Xiaoli.
"Senior brother is still smart. He knows how to use red rope to ward off evil spirits in this thick fog."
Xiao Li opened his mouth to praise me and rubbed his head against my shoulder.
Being praised by Xiaoli like this, I felt warm in my heart when he rubbed me like this. The feeling in my heart was warm, but turned into itchy.
"You are a human now. Don't keep your habits. You can rub against me but not others."
There was a hint of domineering tenderness in my tone, and Xiaoli naturally nodded repeatedly after hearing this.
With the guidance of the red thread, each other felt at ease. Some of them walked for about half an hour, but there was still a thick fog in front of them. During this period of walking, they could not hear any sound or see anything.
"Isn't this place a little too strange?"
I spoke.
"Why is it weird?"
Chang Xiao's voice came from ahead.
"You want to say that there are no people or animals on this road. I can understand this. Why is there not even a tree or a blade of grass? The most important thing is that the road is too clean. There is not even a stone?"
After hearing what I said, Lao Wu, who was walking at the front, spoke.
"I was also wondering just now. After Jing Xiaoyi said this, it was indeed like this. When I came here before, there were trees and grass on both sides of the road. No matter how clean the concrete floor is, there is no way there is not a single stone."
Xiaoli heard our conversation and spoke.
"Old Wu, are you sure which path we are taking?"
It was really a word that woke up the dreamer. Xiaoli's words immediately made us think of something.
