"What are you laughing at?"
A girl from the same village came over and lowered her voice a little, "I've heard that there are really ghosts in this world."
Ha, Tan Lin smiled slightly, looked at the girl from the same village who could not see clearly and came closer to her side, then looked left and right at the fields on both sides of the road, and then entered the village fifty meters further.
She wanted to say that even if there was a ghost, it couldn't appear now. After all, the lights at Aunt Wang's house in front of her near the entrance of the village were already on. Not only the lights in Aunt Wang's yard were on, but also her bright voice. .
"Little bastard, to be honest, you went wild again just now. It's almost eight o'clock, and you haven't written a word of homework yet. Tomorrow, you are going to let the teacher say you are not."
Tan Lin couldn't help but chuckle. There was a ghost. Even if there was a ghost, it would probably have been disturbed by Aunt Wang's loud voice.
Aunt Wang's house is lined with four or five households to the east, and then there is a small intersection. Except for a crop field in the southwest corner, there are households to the east and southeast, and all the lights are on now.
There are different noises in the yard, all of which are occupied by people. How could there be ghosts?
"Oh," Tan Lin responded, "Then, let's come back earlier, so we don't have to worry about the crowd."
"Okay, okay, that's what I mean."
The girls from the same village responded in succession, and then glanced at the intersection behind them, "I didn't dare to look back all the way just now."
"Oh?" Tan Lin kept walking when she heard this, but she also turned her head and glanced at the T-junction behind her, "What's wrong?"
Is there anything you dare not look back on? She didn't think this girl from the same village was timid before.
"I'm scared," said a girl from the same village.
As she spoke, she had already arrived at Aunt Wang's door. Through the light from the courtyard door that Aunt Wang had not closed, Tan Lin saw a somewhat sad expression on the face of the girl from the same village.
"I didn't hear a sound behind me at first. After passing through Sakura Leaf Village, I suddenly heard a sound behind me. I originally wanted to look back, but it seemed that there was no sound. Then after walking for a while, I heard something again. Sound."
The girl from the same village looked nervous, "Are you going to turn from the intersection ahead?"
"..." Tan Lin opened her mouth. She originally wanted to say yes, but then she thought about it and changed the subject, "It doesn't matter. I can just turn around at the intersection next to the primary school ahead and walk with you for a while."
"Okay, okay," the girls from the same village responded repeatedly, "After passing the elementary school, there are people living there anyway, so I'm not afraid anymore. I'll be home after a while. I have to leave a little early tomorrow, which is scary. "
"Okay." Tan Lin responded and looked to the side, "You didn't think that the classmate following us was a ghost just now, did you?"
"..." The girl from the same village took a deep breath, "Isn't that right? You still have to walk to the roadside. Do you know that roadside..."
The girl from the same village suddenly stopped talking.
"What do you know?" Tan Lin blurted out.
If the girl from the same village doesn't say anything, how can I know what she wants to say?
She has never had a habit of guessing people's thoughts!
"Ahem," a girl from the same village lowered her voice and looked at the intersection some distance behind her. "In the fields behind Yingye Village, there is a small road three or four hundred meters to the west. In front of the small road, there is a large area to the west. It’s the cemetery.”
Um? Tan Lin glanced at the girl from the same village nonchalantly: "I didn't pay attention."
"Didn't you pay attention??" The voice of the girl from the same village suddenly rose, and then lowered again, "I've been gone for more than two years, and you didn't pay attention? No wonder you're not afraid."
"I really didn't notice it." Tan Lin smiled, "Did you walk by that way?"
In the past, she always walked the same road in the early morning or at night, and she remembered the scenery on both sides of the road.
After leaving the village entrance and walking forward, less than 400 meters away, there is a family living in the southernmost part of the village. There are fields on the west side of the road.
As for the residents in the south of the village, she had never been there, but the fields west of Lu were where she played every day when she was in elementary school, and she was not afraid at all.
At the westernmost end of the field, near the river embankment, there were a few scattered graves. She had often gone there when she was a child, and her grandparents, several families from the same village, often slept there.
It's just not many, not even ten in total.
Besides, it's some distance from the road to the village entrance and some distance from the road to the south, so why worry about it?
Further ahead is a crossroads, with fields to the east, west, north and south of the crossroads.
About 400 meters further ahead is Yingluo Village. The families in the village are located on both sides of the road. Passing through Yingluo Village and walking forward for a distance of three to four hundred meters is Yingye Village. Yingye Village is also located in two villages on the road.
Further on, three hundred meters away is a soy milk powder factory. On the north side of the road, next to the Grain and Oil Management Office, at the end of the management office is the T-junction that turns towards the school.
The way to the school is a small uphill, with fields on both sides of the road. The only difference is that due to the terrain, there is a gap between the west side of the road and the road. Under the gap there, there are A small ditch, neither deep nor shallow nor wide, separated the field from the road.
One hundred meters along the turning road, you will see the school's courtyard wall. Another two hundred meters further, you will see the small square in front of the school. Rather than saying it is a small square, it is more appropriate to call it a small wide bridge.
The small square connects the road and the school gate, and the small ditch, neither wide nor narrow, passes under the small square.
Tan Lin thought about it carefully. She had indeed been walking this road for more than two years, and she had never felt that there was anything that would make people afraid.
She had never looked carefully at the scenery throughout the year. All she remembered was the starry sky or the moonlight.
As for that place in the distance, she had never been there. In addition, her brother used to accompany her, and on such a journey, there would also be classmates accompanying her.
But more importantly, her brother said that she was listening, and she would listen to the knowledge points summarized by her brother. In the early morning when there was no one on the road, the brother and sister would recite vocabulary together and talk about mathematical and physical formulas.
Time flies by in such memories.
"We walked by." A girl from the same village breathed a sigh of relief, "I met some boys in the class when I went to school early in the morning, and I walked with them once."
While riding leisurely, Tan Lin saw the sad expression on the face of a girl from the same village through the lights of homes flashing by the roadside.
"After that, I will never go with them again. It's too scary."
A girl from the same village looked at Tan Lin and said, "We were still in the second semester of junior high school at that time. Later, I waited for you to go home together."
In the first semester of the second grade of junior high school?
Tan Lin thought about it, but she didn't remember.
She only remembered that after school in the evening, she always walked as she pleased, and there were many people on the road when she walked. Wasn't this girl from the same village just in the same class with her when she was in the third grade of junior high school, and went home with her? ?
"I'm not the only one," the girl from the same village suddenly smiled, "It turns out there are two people from the next village. They left a little late today, so they left first."
Well? Two more? ?
Tan Lin couldn't help but be startled. She always thought that she was the one who walked alone!
