Changsheng Village is the name of the mysterious abandoned village that Zhao Chensi explored this time.
According to legend, the establishment of the village can be traced back to the Qin Dynasty. When the First Emperor was still searching for the elixir of immortality, the secluded little village had already been visited by immortals, and even left behind the method of immortality, so The people who lived in that village for a long time lived long lives, so it was called the longevity village or the longevity village. This phenomenon continued until the entire village was gradually abandoned and abandoned in modern times.
Of course, there are no supernatural factors involved in the reason why the village was abandoned. Zhao Chensi collected a large amount of relevant information before going to the village, and extracted from this information the possible reasons for the abandonment of the village: With the development of technology and society As people's quality of life has improved, a large number of young and middle-aged people have left their hometowns and moved out of closed-traffic villages into big cities to seek opportunities. The location of the village in the mountains is too closed and the living conditions are extremely difficult. Few foreign teachers are willing to stay here for a long time. As the demand for teaching and education increases, the children in the village often have to walk four to five kilometers over mountains and ridges. In addition, the fixed water sources near the village began to dry up more than 50 years ago. When the farmland cannot be irrigated, even drinking water for humans and animals, When life becomes a problem and they have to rely on state aid year after year, the outcome of the entire village migrating out is already doomed.
To sum up, the problem of education demand, the flow of young people to big cities, the inability to meet the basic needs of life, and the biggest difficulty of traffic congestion are mixed into it. As a result, the whole village has moved to nearby places with convenient transportation with the help of the state. Town living.
The country has always provided strong support for infrastructure construction in remote areas, but there are still many villages like the mysterious abandoned villages scattered in the Sichuan-Erotic Forest Area. Because it is extremely difficult to build roads along the mountain roads in the mountains. , the investment capital is also very large, and the local villagers also have the desire to migrate, so there is a plan to help the entire village migrate.
So far, there haven’t been many supernatural elements or legends mixed into it, but after the village was abandoned, supernatural stories began to spread. Especially in the new millennium, the information age has made it easier to spread information, and it is more difficult to distinguish the authenticity of information. Later, this kind of supernatural story that caught wind and shadow, nine and a half out of ten sentences were fabricated, began to spread more and more, and the more it spread, the more evil it became.
By the time Zhao Chen had finished washing his hands and feet, he picked up his luggage and quietly slipped out of his home and walked to the bus stop, it was already bright outside. He checked his phone to confirm the time and found that he was close to the time he had agreed to meet Wan Qi. It was still early, and I couldn't help but feel relieved when there was enough time.
It was because he overslept in the past two days. When he woke up, it was already four or five o'clock in the afternoon. At that time, there were no buses to the Sichuan-E Roof Ridge Forest Area, which resulted in the planned abandoned village. The expedition plan finally came to nothing.
That's why he set twelve alarm clocks on his mobile phone today and got up almost two hours early.
Even though he knew that this expedition was likely to be just a farce in the end as usual, for some reason Zhao Chensi was still fully prepared for this expedition with great expectations.
…………
Eight hours later, the bus departed from Yandu Passenger Terminal and headed for the Sichuan-E roof forest area.
The bus has left the city for a long time, and the trees and vegetation on both sides of the road have gradually become denser and more prosperous as the buildings continue to move away from the city, far away from the hustle and bustle of the city.
Zhao Chensi, who was originally excited about this adventure, was now leaning against the car window like a dead fish.
After six or seven hours of driving, the enthusiasm and excitement he felt when he first got in the car had been wiped away. Now he only had thoughts like sitting and pain in his buttocks. He really wanted to get up and move his body, but he hadn't arrived yet... and other thoughts.
At first, Zhao Chensi could chat with Wanqi Lao, but couldn't find anyone to talk to, so he had to start playing mobile games. When his phone ran out of power, the power bank was thrown into the trunk under the car together with the large bag. I can only relieve my boredom by looking at the natural scenery outside the window.
Tunnels one after another, green vegetation and saplings climbing the hillsides, occasional fields and large farmlands, quaint towns with distinct layers built against the mountains, and almost half of the mountain peaks in the distance hidden in the clouds and mist. The ethereal mountains in the sky.
At first, this kind of scenery was quite novel and interesting for a child like Zhao Chensi who grew up in the city, but after watching it for a few hours, he got tired of it.
Wan Qi next to him had already adjusted the back of his chair to a comfortable angle and fell asleep. Most of the other people in the car also chose to close their eyes and rest their minds and go to sleep during such long and long-distance movements. Slight snores could be heard from everywhere in the carriage.
For Zhao Chensi, who is a bit restless, sitting on a long-distance bus for more than eight hours is really a very painful thing, and the air conditioning in the car is turned on, which makes the air a little turbid. As time goes by, he has nothing to do. I began to feel a little dizzy and uncomfortable, and my energy became depressed.
In a dazed and confused state, Zhao Chensi also leaned against the car window and fell into a dream.
That was not a pleasant dream.
In the dream, Zhao Chensi seemed to be chased by something into a tunnel. He didn't know what was chasing him behind him, but the uncontrollable fear and desire for survival in his heart drove him to crawl towards the shimmering hole in front of him.
This corridor is so narrow and cramped that adults can barely pass through it even by bending down and crawling forward.
Zhao Chensi didn't know how long he had been crawling toward the source of light in this dark and cramped corridor. It might have been a few minutes, or it might have been a few hours. Time has no practical meaning to a person in a dream. It was not until a certain moment that he suddenly felt his body lightened, and the sense of oppression caused by being in a small space dissipated, and his vision suddenly opened up and was filled with dazzling sunlight, that he left. That oppressive corridor.
As soon as the scene changed, he seemed to be in a peach blossom forest again. The petals falling in the wind from the lush peach trees formed a rain of flowers flying in the sky, making people feel as if they were in a fairyland on earth, and he and Wan Qi followed. Several backpackers, whose faces could not be seen clearly, were walking in this peach blossom forest, which was a stunning sight.
Then he began to cough uncontrollably, and as he coughed out something that was both dust and smoke, he felt that his body was becoming lighter as the dust-like smoke was continuously coughed out.
As for his friend Wan Qi, the skin and flesh of his arm began to tear from the inside out as he kept coughing. From the upturned flesh and white bones, he vaguely saw a centipede-like multi-legged insect. It was entrenched in the torn wound, squirming out of Wanqi's torn skin, bringing out a large number of broken pieces of flesh and blood, and two iron wire-like tentacles extended towards the frightened Zhao Chensi. come over……
"Hey, wake up, Kuei Town has arrived and we have to get off the car!" The violent shaking woke up Zhao Chensi from the nightmare that frightened him. He looked up in shock and saw Wan Qi's concerned eyes. : "What's wrong? You look so bad and you're sweating all over. Could it be that you're motion sick?"
