I don’t know whether it’s because I’m under this mountain and there’s no signal, or there’s something wrong with my mobile phone. In short, my idea of relying on mobile phone maps for navigation was shattered. In desperation, I could only follow the tracks of the broken van. Yin walked back.
I took a car before, so I didn't feel it was that far away, but now I walked back with my feet, and it actually took me more than an hour before I finally reached a dirt road.
The dirt road was so quiet that there was no one around, and it seemed like it was leading to a forbidden area of death.
Not far away, an eye-catching sign is looming under the cover of dense plants. A faint reminder can be seen on it: Xuejia Town 1km.
With that sign as the boundary, this side is lush and lush, with abundant fields and a scene of abundant agricultural production, while on the other side of the sign is a forest of weeds, which is completely desolate, dilapidated, and extremely quiet.
I walked along the way, and not long after, a huge bluestone archway with dragons and phoenixes carved on it first caught my eye, with the words "Xuejia Town" clearly engraved on it.
Behind the archway is an ancient town. At first glance, there is no trace of modernization at all, which makes me feel unreal.
Looking from a distance, there are many people wandering around at the entrance of the town. They look like harmless ordinary people, but in fact they are not. Although these people are dressed plainly, there is a faint trace of anger under their faces. Fierce energy.
I frowned when I saw this. If I guessed correctly, those people should be the ones responsible for holding the entrance to Xuejia Town.
The old monk whose IP name is Mysterious Man 2 once told me that Xuejia Town is not that easy to enter. In addition, the reaction of the taxi drivers when they heard the three words Xuejia Town, it can be concluded that they want to enter the town. It's obviously impossible to go in swaggering.
I didn't want to alert the snake, so when the guards didn't notice me, I quietly lurked into the weeds as tall as a person beside me, planning to wait until dark before finding an opportunity to lurk into the town. .
It's still very early, so I can take this opportunity to have a good rest and replenish the sleep I got last night.
I sleep very lightly, especially when I have something on my mind. I am basically half asleep and half awake. Even the slightest sound will arouse my alertness.
I don’t know how long I slept, but my ears suddenly heard the sound of heavy footsteps.
I suddenly opened my eyes and looked through the gaps in the weeds. From a distance, I saw two people carrying a huge sack coming out of the town, and they were traveling in the direction of where I was at the moment.
"You are so damn brave. You have stolen everything to come to Xuejia Town. If you don't ask where this place is, you have to go out sideways when you come in standing." One of them said.
"Stop talking so much nonsense, hurry up, my cards are about to be played, and I have to deal with them this time!" Another person said.
The two of us were talking to each other, and they were getting closer and closer to me.
"Okay, just throw it here!"
At that time, the two people were only two or three meters away from where I was. They only needed to take two more steps forward to discover my presence.
But they seemed too lazy to take those two extra steps. They simply threw the sack into the grass, then turned around and left.
The discarded sack was just thrown in front of me. Although the mouth of the bag was tightly tied, I already knew what was inside.
I know that there is a corpse in the sack, but what I don't know is how can they be so rampant that they dare to disregard human life in broad daylight and even throw the body into the wilderness at will?
What kind of existence is the Xue family in Changsha City? They can actually ignore the king's laws and stand here. How can Xue Tianhu's hands and eyes reach the sky?
Thinking of this, I am very glad that I did not break in because of a sudden enthusiasm, otherwise, I am sure that I will be put into a sack and exposed to the wilderness.
At that time, I really wanted to dig a hole and sell the buddy in the sack so that he could have a place to live after his death.
But if I do that, I will be exposed, and my hidden efforts will be in vain, so I can only say sorry to that buddy temporarily, and wait until I have a chance.
Although it was already approaching autumn, the weather in Changsha City was still very hot, and it was quite comfortable to be in the shade of the weeds, so I closed my eyes again without realizing it.
This time there was no disturbance. When I opened my eyes again, it was already pitch black.
Looking through the weeds towards the night sky, there is a bright moon in the sky, stars are all over the sky, and there are also dim lights in the direction of Xuejia Town.
Looking down at the archway at the entrance of the town, it was already so quiet, and there was no longer a wandering figure in sight.
Seeing this, I felt that the time was almost here, so I thought about getting up and walking out of the grass, and then sneaking in quietly.
But before I could move, I suddenly heard a heavy breathing sound in my ears.
The voice sounded so close, it felt like it was right next to my ears.
Immediately afterwards, a huge figure appeared next to me. It was completely dark and invisible under the moonlight. Only its pair of quiet eyes could not help but glow with a strange light.
I couldn't clearly see the shape of the figure, but it seemed to be walking on four legs, so it should be some kind of wild beast.
It was clearly next to me at the time, but it had no intention of attacking me. It just sniffed my body and then ignored me like air.
It didn't leave. After passing me, it walked towards the body in the sack.
Then, it sniffed at the scarlet part of the sack, then bit the sack and dragged it deeper into the grass...
I didn't know whether the beast was a dog or a wolf, but it obviously fed on dead bodies, which made me feel a chill running down my back.
It was at this moment that I finally understood why those two guys were so confident in abandoning the corpses casually. It turned out that there was such a strange and ferocious existence to deal with the aftermath for them.
The beast dragged away the body in the sack. I was worried that it might come back again, so I didn't dare to continue lurking. I got up immediately, and then tiptoed out of the thick grass.
Under the deathly silent night, I was floating like a ghost.
I did not enter the town directly, but hid on the side of the archway and watched carefully.
There were still people guarding the entrance of the town not far away, but they were much more relaxed than during the day, and those few people seemed to be dozing off.
"Ah ha... I'm so damn sleepy. There's not even a ghost in the night. I have nothing to watch. I might as well find a mother and have a good night's sleep!"
"Who says it isn't? Our Xuejia Town is a feared place in the entire city of Changsha. Even in broad daylight, even a fly has to take a detour, let alone a human being."
"Hey, I asked you two to keep your voices down when you are complaining. If Lord Tiger hears this, he will feed you two to ferocious beasts. It is better for you to say less and be good. Just do your job.”
Several people were sitting around chatting. They were all so sleepy that they were about to close their eyes, but suddenly they all became energetic. This made me step back again after taking two steps.
Although the three guards were awake, they could not stop me from entering the town.
I looked around and found that the end of the stone spine of the archway was very close to the roof of a moving house, so I climbed up the archway silently, like a nocturnal monkey, leaping to the top in one leap. On top of that roof.
Wow!
Although my movements were very light, I still accidentally stepped on a piece of green tile from the roof, making a sound that was enough to arouse alarm.
"Who? What person?!"
Several guys all stood up at the same time, looking at the roof where I was with alert faces.
Maybe God wanted to help me. At this time, dark clouds appeared in the night sky, blocking more than half of the moonlight, making the vision in front of me darker and darker.
Meow……!
This cat meow was not made by me. Although I had such an idea, a real cat meowed before I even started meowing.
It was a cat with snow-white fur, half-crouching on the roof in front of me. It was looking at me with its dim eyes.
Suddenly it stood up, turned around and jumped down from the roof. It flashed past the guards and disappeared into the quiet streets of the town.
"Damn, it turned out to be a cat. I was scared to death. It ran fast, otherwise I would have to skin it alive. But that cat looks so familiar. It doesn't look like it ran in from outside the town. wildcat?"
"Nonsense, there are ferocious beasts wandering around the town this night, let alone cats. Even a mouse has to think twice before coming in. Do you know why that cat looks so familiar? That is our Mayor Xue's cat. If you dare Peel off its skin, and your skin will have to be peeled off tomorrow too!"
Those people directly started talking about the cat that suddenly appeared. Apparently they all thought it was the green tile that the cat kicked off, and I was lucky enough to escape.
The guards gathered together again and started chatting, and I took advantage of this opportunity to move quickly on the roof. After a while, I was far away from the entrance of the town and arrived at what seemed to be the center of the town.
Looking around, this seems to be the brightest place in the entire Xuejia Town. It is a medium-sized open space, which seems to be the square of Xuejia Town.
Although there are many lights, it is still deathly silent, and not a single person can be seen.
Seeing that no one was there, I jumped from the roof.
But the moment my feet just landed, a white shadow appeared in front of me. It was the white cat I met on the roof just now.
