One day, Shaoqiu walked up the mountain again carrying a hoe. After a busy day in his own field, when the sun hung in the west, he had to go back. But before going back, he had to go to the top of the mountain to collect firewood. Otherwise, there would be no firewood to burn after he returned.
When we reached the top of the mountain, there was no one around. Most of the people had returned to their homes, chatting with their women, or worrying about firewood like Shaoqiu. On the top of the mountain, there was no one for a while. It seemed that Shaoqiu was alone. Deep in the dense forest, it was extremely eerie and terrifying. He originally wanted to get some firewood, but after seeing the eerie atmosphere, I didn’t dare to go again.
He just sat on the top of the mountain, looking at the sun that was about to set. At this time, he thought of Xiaohua again, but he didn't know what she was doing at this time. Are you worried about these firewood just like me?
This is a slope, and there is a dense forest growing on the hillside. Very few people dare to go in on weekdays, and as a scholar, Shaoqiu is even more afraid to go in, especially when the sun sets. However, Shaoqiu is a scholar after all, so he doesn't pay much attention to these rumors. He is sitting on this mountain like this. Who can do anything to him?
I glanced at the sunset in the west. The sun was about to set, and someone seemed to be shouting something on the horizon. When I listened carefully, I couldn't hear anything. Maybe he heard it wrong? The evening wind started to pick up, and it was a bit chilly. He also felt cold on his body. Shaoqiu stood up and wanted to go back. But this time he stood up, he fell down and kept rolling towards the depths of the forest. He didn't know how long it took. When he woke up, he found that the surroundings were pitch black and he could hardly see his fingers.
"Where am I at this time?" Shaoqiu asked himself. After carefully looking at the surrounding situation, he found that he was staying deep in the dense forest. Beside him, there was a coffin standing, as dark as ink, which made him tremble with fear.
He wanted to get up, but his body seemed to weigh a thousand pounds and he couldn't stand up. He just lay on the ground like this. Even though it was wet, there was nothing he could do. And facing this thing alone in this dense forest is a bit unbearable no matter what. And he didn't know why he fell from the mountain when he was fine. What was going on?
It was really dark deep in the dense forest. No light from the sky could come in. Even if there was a moon outside, there was no light in this dense forest.
I was really scared at this time, and there was no one to keep me company, so I had to lie down on the ground. Fortunately, the ground was covered with moss and was not very dirty. I was finally able to stand up. When I looked up and looked around, I found that the coffin that had been standing at first was now gone.
Shaoqiu didn't dare to stay there anymore, nor did he dare to go down, because in the valley below, there were legendary things that were even worse. He couldn't go down at this time, not even to his death. He had no choice but to climb desperately to the top of the mountain. When he finally climbed up, he found that the firewood he placed on the top of the mountain was gone. Could it be that the wind blew it away?
I returned to my house empty-handed, cooked a meal, and stood outside the house again, looking at the mountains in the distance. The deserted village was also very brightly lit at this time, and people probably gathered with each other, talking about the world. thing, and for Shaoqiu standing in front of his house, he would not take it seriously at all.
At this moment, a woman stood on the other side of the river, stretching her neck and calling herself. Facing this woman, Shaoqiu had no choice but to stop listening. The woman standing on the other side of the river called Shaoqiu for a while, and for some reason, she called out the Grimm Mountain again. And on the Grimm Mountain, there seemed to be people crying constantly.
Shaoqiu immediately closed the door, and when he entered the house, the woman on the other side stopped shouting, and the faint crying sound of the woman coming from the Grimm Mountains also disappeared for a while. Shaoqiu then opened the book, turned on the light, and started reading alone again.
But at the door, the strong wind howled continuously, and a stone hit his house, making a clear sound, and then rolled down to nowhere.
Shaoqiu didn't understand who would be standing on the other side calling him in the middle of the night. He didn't want to pay attention to it because he had to go up to the mountains to work tomorrow after a good sleep. But he couldn't sleep no matter what, and the shouts from the other side did not diminish at all, as if he would not give up until he answered.
Shaoqiu had to walk out of the door at this time. There was no light in the deserted village at this time. Only the sound of the small river flowing eastward kept coming. Hearing it, it made people feel desolate and speechless. Fortunately, the moon shines down, and the stars are like fire, so that the road is not invisible. At this time, he walked out of the door of his house, walked forward, went down to the river, and stood on this side of the river, wanting to hear who was calling him.
After standing there for an unknown amount of time, I realized that there was no one on the other side of the river at this time. It seemed that I was overly concerned, or maybe I had heard wrongly. But I heard it clearly, how could I be wrong?
"Shaoqiu!" The man on the other side of the river started shouting again. However, Shaoqiu hesitated for a while about whether to respond. However, he felt that if he didn't respond, wouldn't it be too rude?
"Alas." Shaoqiu replied when he saw that the man was shouting hard.
When he heard someone responding to him, the man on the other side stopped shouting, and Shaoqiu did not prepare to cross the river. Instead, he returned to his house. At this time, he stood in front of the house door again, wanting to sleep, but couldn't. drowsiness.
However, at this time, he was not in a good mood, and suddenly he remembered the legend of the old man in the deserted village, who said that he heard strangers calling him, especially in the middle of the night, and was absolutely unable to respond. But he responded to them for some reason. I wonder if this is a good thing?
He was standing in front of the house at this moment, not daring to sleep for a moment, for fear of something scary happening. And if he didn't sleep at this time, what could he do? There was no one to talk to, in this deserted village, and the night at this time looked so dark.
At this time, if there was someone to accompany me, I might not feel so scared. However, at this time, who else could accompany me? There is no one left, so I can only accompany myself. The heavy snow was falling continuously outside the door. Shaoqiu did not dare to stay outside, so he entered his room and sat in front of the dilapidated desk, feeling at a loss for a moment.
"Whatever, maybe I heard it wrong. What are you afraid of? I still have to go up the mountain to farm tomorrow." Shaoqiu said to himself.
It was already extremely cold at this time, and he couldn't make a fire, because since the last time he made a fire and was beaten by the gangsters, Shaoqiu didn't like fire very much. If he was beaten again, he would definitely not be able to do it. . At this time, it was already snowing heavily outside, and it was completely white, and the branches that could not bear the snow kept falling down, making a coughing sound.
At this moment, he seemed to hear a woman calling him on the other side of the river. He didn't know why she braved the cold in this snowy day to call him. Is his name so nice? Don't worry about him. Shaoqiu climbed into bed at this time, not daring to sleep. He just listened quietly, listening to the voice of calling people dancing with the wind, and at this time, the sound of the river flowing eastward also came. , making this deserted village look even more desolate at this time.
