More than two hours later.
Tang Yu checked private messages, helped several netizens solve their problems, and then glanced out the car window.
distance.
Thick clouds surged in the sky, the stars and the moon disappeared, and the branches on both sides of the road rustled like monsters with bared fangs and claws.
Nearing the village entrance.
The dark night and continuous rain and fog shrouded the road, making it wet and hazy.
From a distance.
The small village at the foot of the mountains gradually disappeared in the rain and fog.
It's like a monster with its bloody mouth wide open, waiting for its prey to come and devour it completely...
[This doesn't look good. I feel like this female ghost isn't on the same level as the previous ghosts.]
[I'm shivering. This storm is so unusual. The village looks strange too. Didn't the villagers notice anything unusual?]
The heavy rain gradually blurred the vision.
The car slowly drove into the village.
As we drove in, I saw through the car lights that there were two houses at the entrance covered with lush vegetation, looking quiet and lonely.
It's midnight now.
The village was dark and silent.
Everyone here should be asleep.
"How come this village is so deserted?"
In Ji Xingyun's impression.
The village is surrounded by green water and is very beautiful.
The villagers are very simple.
Grandpa Lu once told them happily.
Lujia Village is the most populous village in the surrounding area. It has beautiful mountains and rivers and is home to outstanding people. He will never go anywhere else in the future and will just live out his retirement peacefully at home.
Unfortunately, Grandpa Lu passed away due to illness a few years later.
Grandpa was sad and upset for a long time because of this.
"People are moving to higher ground. Many families have moved to the city, and young people in the village have chosen to work outside. Most of those left behind are the elderly, the weak, women and children."
Tang Yu’s words made netizens in the live broadcast room feel a little melancholy.
I recently returned to my hometown, and seeing the current state of the village brought me a deep feeling. I remember when I was little, before cell phones and heavy schoolwork, the village would be bustling with children after school, fishing in the mountains and rivers, playing with chickens and walking the dog. Every day was a joy. The adults weren't anxious, and the people were close. After a meal, they'd chat under a tree, visit neighbors, and even give away leftover vegetables. If there was anything, they'd just shout from the door, and everyone would hear.
[It's the same in our village. The population is dwindling, and now we can't even get enough people together to play mahjong.]
If possible, I don't want to live in the big city anymore. I want to go back to my hometown and be a salted fish, grow some vegetables in the fields, raise some chickens and ducks, and be self-sufficient. It would extend my life by a few years.
The heavy rain gradually stopped.
Just as Ji Xingyun and others parked the car in front of the Lu family's old house.
There was a 'squeak' sound.
The tightly closed wooden door in front of me opened with a dull and heavy sound.
The dark house suddenly lit up.
Bright yellow light.
Not only did it not make the people at the door feel at ease, but it made them feel creepy.
Even with five bodyguards and Tang Yu by his side, Ji Xingyun still felt a little uneasy and nervous.
Except for Tang Yu who was calm and composed, everyone else had a solemn expression as if facing a great enemy. They looked around vigilantly and stared at the surroundings and the strange house in front of them.
The leader of the bodyguard team took out his pistol, looked at the other men holding pistols, and then walked into the house cautiously step by step.
Tang Yu and the other two followed closely behind.
Entering the courtyard, I saw the eaves were hung with lifelike paper figures, swaying in the wind.
Under the eaves was a paper-made wedding figure with two round blushed cheeks and a paper-made red sedan chair.
It makes one's scalp tingle.
Thinking of what happened that night, Ji Xingyun's expression couldn't help but change.
[Oh my god, so many paper figures.]
[Red wedding dress, paper figurines, embroidered shoes... Chinese horror is the coolest.]
[It’s so scary, I don’t dare to watch it anymore.]
Open the door and come to the living room with classical Chinese style.
I found a paper matchmaker half a person's height standing in the middle of the hall. She was wearing a red Tang suit and had a big red paper flower on her head.
"Hehehe… the auspicious time has arrived, the groom is here to pick up the bride!"
The paper matchmaker had two round blush spots on her pale face, and she grinned with a hideous and miserable smile of excitement...looking at Ji Xingyun.
It was as if his feet were equipped with pulleys as he rolled backwards, turned a corner and floated towards the corridor in the hall.
Those present were all well-trained bodyguards, and the team leader was from the special forces and had seen all kinds of gunfire and bullets.
At this moment, facing these eerie and strange scenes, everyone couldn't help but shudder.
"What the hell, this this this...?"
Huo Lou's pupils trembled. Hearing Ji Xingyun's words was more terrifying than seeing it with his own eyes.
He tilted his head and gave Ji Xingyun, whose teeth were chattering, a sympathetic look.
"Follow the paper man, Lu Man is inside." Tang Yu walked in front calmly.
