Chapter 5: The Gloomy and Ruined Village
"What's wrong, Brother Yun?"
Zheng Feng turned around. I quickly retracted my hand, forced out a smile that should have been very ugly, and said, "Nothing, let's go this way . I want to experience for myself how this road leads back to the village over there."
"Oh, let's go this way then."
Even though he turned into a ghost, this guy is still very dull and honest. Could it be that this guy doesn't know that he has died and turned into a ghost?
"Let's go, Brother Yun."
Zheng Feng was walking in front and turned back to call out. I quickly responded and followed him. Although he acted very dull, I still didn't dare to walk shoulder to shoulder with him when I thought he was a ghost, but I carefully kept a distance from him.
Are there really ghosts in this world?
When I was a kid, I grew up in a mountain village, often running around in the dark, I didn't believe in ghosts, and I wasn't afraid of them at all. But fortunately, I'm quite courageous, otherwise what happened today would have been enough to scare me to death.
Although I haven't wet my pants yet, I'm afraid I'll wet my pants soon. I'm a little regretful for coming here. It would be great if I could sleep in the dormitory now. But when I think of the nightmare in which Zheng Feng's eyes were dug out and he rushed towards me to dig out my eyes, I shudder.
I secretly glanced at Zheng Feng next to me. If he found out that I was dead and turned into a ghost, would he rush over and dig out my eyes like in my nightmare?
But judging from their appearance, ghosts seem to be no different from humans.
"Brother Yun, what's wrong?"
He seemed to sense that I had been glancing at him, and turned to ask curiously. I quickly shook my head and said, "Nothing, I was looking carefully at both sides of the road to see how I could get back to the village."
I said this casually without thinking clearly, but it just happened to remind myself. I quickly collected my thoughts and looked at the situations on both sides, but there didn't seem to be anything unusual. At first glance, they were all the same, with dry farmland and dead crops.
"Brother Yun, Brother Yun, look, we've circled back to the village!"
Zheng Feng suddenly shouted. I turned my head and looked ahead of the dirt road. Sure enough, the village I saw before was not far ahead. I remembered that I didn't see it just now. I turned my head and looked back. The dirt road seemed to have no end. In fact, we didn't walk far, only ten minutes at most, but we could no longer see the stone tablet at the entrance of the village.
Who cares? It has come to this point, why should I be afraid of him ? I turned around, raised my head, and pointed at the village in front of me like a heroic warrior.
"Into the village."
As soon as I arrived at the entrance of the village, I immediately tightened my neck again. The momentum just now disappeared without a trace in an instant. At first glance, this village is too gloomy. It would be a waste if it is not used to shoot a horror movie.
There was a dead tree at the entrance of the village. The trunk was broken in the middle, and the upper half fell to the ground. The broken part just happened to touch the lower half, forming a triangle with the ground. Broken branches were scattered all over the ground. A cold wind blew over, rolling up the yellow leaves on the ground, swaying in the air, and then falling to the ground again.
The village is not big. The road under our feet passes through the middle of the village. From this side, we can see the entrance and exit of the other side. The houses in the village look worse than the brick houses in our village. There are still many houses made of mud, and many of them have collapsed, which is a scene of desolation.
“Hoooo!”
A gust of wind blew by, carrying dead leaves into the village. The wind blew over me, and I shivered involuntarily. It was a hot day, but I felt a chill. I quickly looked up at the sky, and the fiery red sun had disappeared without a trace. The sky seemed to be much darker, and it seemed like noon before, but now it seemed like dusk.
Damn, what a crappy place. It’s so abnormal.
"Zheng Feng, this is the village you are talking about, right?"
I asked. But I didn't hear any response. I turned around and was shocked. Where was Zheng Feng?
Oh my god, is this haunted? Where did that guy go?
No, that guy is a ghost! Another gust of wind blew over me, and I shivered, feeling even colder. I quickly untied the coat tied around my waist and put it on.
How did Zheng Feng's ghost suddenly disappear? I looked back and saw that the dirt road stretched infinitely into the distance, as if it had no end. I took a deep breath and turned back to stare at the broken village in front of me. Should I go in?
Damn it, he was in a dilemma now. He felt that he couldn't go forward or retreat. If he went into the village, nothing good would happen. If he retreated, he probably couldn't escape.
Although the broken village in front of him was desolate, gloomy and dilapidated, it was empty except for the cold wind and dead leaves. There was not a single person or ghost in sight.
I stared at the entrance and exit opposite the broken village. Actually, it wasn't too far from me. I calculated that if I ran there at the speed of a 100-meter sprint, I should be able to get there quickly.
I tightened my belt, took a long breath, and then ran, staring straight at the exit opposite, running towards that direction with almost all my might.
I don't know if it was one or two minutes later, but the exit was finally in sight. Haha, no surprise, we were about to leave the village.
"Snapped!"
"boom!"
Just when I was feeling happy, my feet suddenly kicked something, and my madly running body flew off the ground, rushed forward, and fell headfirst to the ground with a mouthful of mud.
Damn, what the hell is this?
I spit out the dirt in my mouth and struggled to get up, but my body was hit really hard and I felt pain. I turned my head and glanced behind me. There was a low stone slab standing in the middle of the road, which I hadn't seen before.
Who the hell is so stupid to put a stone slab in the middle of the road!
I turned my head and looked forward again, and the exit was right in front of me. I quickly endured the pain in my body and climbed up, but just as I was about to take a step, the sky curtain suddenly dropped down, just like a stage curtain, and in the blink of an eye, the sky and the earth were pitch black.
“Hoooooooo!”
A gust of wind blew from behind. I quickly ran to the exit in front of me, and at the same time took out my flashlight and shone it forward. The light shone forward, and the houses on both sides extended forward infinitely. The exit that was originally in front of me had become so far away that it could no longer be seen.
I quickly looked back, and when the light shone over there, the exit on this side was so far away that I couldn't see it at all.
I'm done for now, I can't run away. The cold wind blew over me, and I quickly looked at the houses on both sides. I had to find a place to hide quickly, I was afraid that the little ghost would come out.
