After hearing what Lao Wu said, we groped with our hands to return it. Just as Lao Wu said, after groping for a while, we touched a cold door.
"Bah bang bang!"
Old Wu slapped the door and shouted.
"Is there anyone? Is there anyone here?"
Lao Wu shouted several times, but no one answered. Then he touched the door bolt and opened the door. After opening the door, I walked in.
I didn't hear any dogs barking after I walked in. It was obvious that either there were no dogs in the house, or the dogs they had were dead.
At this moment, the fog in the yard seemed to have faded a little, and you could vaguely see a house in front of it. A few of us walked over and opened the door.
After entering the house, we quickly closed the door. At this time, we could finally see the world in front of us a little more clearly.
Since the windows and doors in the house were always closed, there wasn't much fog in the house. There was no one in the house and the house was empty.
"It seems that the owner of this house has moved away."
Chang Xiao looked at the room and said.
Old Wu left the room and spoke after leaving.
"These people left in a hurry and didn't take away any valuable things in the house."
But Xiaoli has a different view than the two of them.
"I don't think so. I feel like the people in this house haven't left. If you follow what the driver said and move to the town, you will definitely have to pack up those things. Look at how rushed it is, and there are still things on the table.
There’s food on the table.”
After hearing what Xiaoli said, a few of us noticed that there was a table on the floor in the back room. There were actually some dishes on the table, and there were indeed food in the plates and bowls, but now the food was broken.
.
Xiaoli's conjecture is not impossible. The few of us didn't worry too much about this matter and found a place to rest for a while.
"Old Wu, do you know whose house this is?"
Chang Xiao asked Lao Wu. Lao Wu thought about it after hearing the mocking question.
"If I guessed correctly, this should be Uncle Li's house at the entrance of the village."
The few of us didn't say much next, but sat there quietly resting and looking at the fog in the yard.
But I observed the fog. The fog was only in the yard and outside, but there was very little inside the house. Logically speaking, the house was not sealed. It should be easy for the fog to penetrate. Why did the fog rarely enter the house?
Woolen cloth?
When I was lost in thought, Xiaoli pulled the corner of my clothes and said.
"Senior brother, do you think the sky outside seems to have changed since we entered this house?"
After hearing what Xiao Li said, I came back to my senses and looked outside. Except for the thick fog, there seemed to be no big changes. Chang Xiao and Lao Wu also looked outside. It was obvious that
Their thoughts are similar to mine.
"Didn't you notice? When we first entered the village, the sun was at noon. We walked for such a long time when it was at full strength. Logically speaking, the day should gradually get dark. I did some calculations and we left.
It's been a while, but why hasn't the brightness of the sky outside changed?"
After hearing what Xiaoli said, the three of us suddenly realized that this was indeed the case. Although the time we walked was not very long, according to the season of late autumn, the day time is very short and the night time will be very long. How to walk?
After all this time, the brightness outside is almost the same as noon?
While a few of us were thinking about this, we suddenly heard footsteps outside the yard. It sounded like the footsteps were not just one or two, but seemed to be more than 10 people.
"Don't make a sound!"
I made a gesture of silence. Old Wu Changxiao and Xiao Li also heard it and agreed with each other. After nodding, a few of us quietly walked to the door of the house and looked outside through the window.
But we only saw the mist and didn't see anyone, but the footsteps sounded really real.
The four of us held our breaths to block the footsteps of people outside, and found that after about 10 minutes, the footsteps gradually faded away.
"What's going on? Is it those things?"
The four of us all know what those things refer to, so there is no need to say it explicitly.
"I don't know. Let's wait and see if there is anything left."
After hearing my question, Lao Wu said, "We think we should wait and see the specific situation."
The four of us went back to the house and sat down again. We sat like this for about 10 minutes, and nothing else happened.
"Why don't we go out and have a look? We're here anyway, so it's not the same thing."
I made the proposal, and Chang Xiao and Lao Wu looked at each other and nodded. Just like that, we left the room, walked out, and took a look outside.
At this time, the outside was still shrouded in thick fog. After listening carefully, there was no sound. A few of us groped our way to the outside of the yard. When we got outside, Lao Wu spoke.
"Feel this wall and keep walking forward, and you can feel your way to the alley or the yard of the next house."
After listening to Lao Wu's suggestion, I walked at the front and groped around. Sure enough, just as Lao Wu said, I touched the yard of the next house. Several of us also entered the yard without any movement and entered the house.
The situation inside the house is the same as that of Li Shujia.
"It's really strange. You said that if there was something dirty here, we would be able to detect a breath of it, but we can't even detect a breath of it."
Chang Xiao spoke. Chang Xiao's question was also what we were thinking, but we never said it out loud.
"Then what should we do now?"
Xiaoli asked from the side.
"Well, let's go outside again. If other people's homes are in the same situation, how about we go to three more homes and then stay in the last one!"
After thinking for a moment, Lao Wu suggested.
Hearing what Lao Wu said, several of us nodded and acquiesced to his proposal. The few of us followed the same pattern and continued walking. When we reached the third house, we were ready to stop and stop moving forward, but just then
At this time, I actually heard footsteps in the thick fog.
"Wait a minute, all of you, be quiet and listen carefully."
I spoke vigilantly, and the others held their breaths and listened carefully. Sure enough, they also heard a burst of footsteps, but the footsteps were extremely light, and there should only be about two or three people listening to the sound. This chapter has been completed!
