As long as it is a small town in the south, no matter whether it is prosperous or remote, there will definitely be a rooster crowing in the early morning. But this small town is so quiet at this moment that it makes people feel chilly in their hearts.
Let me tell you, maybe you didn't hear me. After all, we are already far outside the town. No matter how good your ears are, you may not be able to hear things that far away.
Zhang Hazi said, if you really go to a small town, you can't hear the old man, but if you go outside the small town, if you can't hear the old man, huh, do you think it's normal?
Zhang Hazi's words were very obscure, but I understood what he meant. Because in a small town, especially the closer to the center of the town, it is harder to hear chickens crow. After all, there is no place to raise chickens. But the area outside the town is different. The area is large and can be raised freely.
So outside the town, under normal circumstances, you must hear the rooster crow in the early morning.
Let me tell you, why would this happen?
Zhang Hazi said, "I will have an ancestor in your house. You can guess it yourself. What do you want me to do?"
I did have a rough guess, but I wasn't very sure, because if that were the case, then what we experienced last night would have been too terrifying.
I said, I won’t be sure until I see it with my own eyes.
Zhang Hazi did not object, but nodded and told me to wait until dawn before going in.
I also nodded and said, if those people on the mountainside were killed by the cashier, then I used the Thirteen Taibao to destroy the ordinary bungalow where they were imprisoned, which was equivalent to letting them regain their freedom. Going to reincarnation?
Zhang Hazi said, it should be more than that. This is a big place. If there is no one in charge, they might join forces to act and deceive you? If someone is brave enough to tell the truth directly, wouldn't it mean that all the previous efforts have been wasted by lying to you?
Let me tell you, the truth is this, but who is the one in charge?
Zhang Hazi said that the man who was run over by a car and was dripping rubber should be the spokesperson for the place where the cashier went to drip rubber. Only by eradicating old age can you help them truly escape from old age, so they will help you show the way.
After listening to Zhang Hazi's words, I endured the pain in my feet, got out of the car, faced the hillside, glanced in the direction of the mountainside, and bowed deeply three times there.
I don't care if I help them, I just care that they actually help me. If they hadn't shown me the way, I think I wouldn't have found Zhang Hazi so quickly.
When I sat back in the driver's seat, the pain dominated by alcohol hit me again, making me grit my teeth in pain.
When Zhang Hazi saw this, he cursed that he deserved it.
He said that even if they don't show you the way, you will see the funeral procession at the right time.
I didn't understand it at first, but when I thought about it, the other party was just to let me fight monsters and level up, and I understood. Because even if those shady people don't give me directions, they will find ways to remind me by making insinuations and let me know where Zhang Hazi has gone.
But no matter what, they are poor people after all. They may have been unknown and unknown in life, but at least they helped me after death. Regardless of whether they were willing or not, I think it is natural to bow to them.
Zhang Hazi ignored my pedantic tone and just leaned on his seat to rest with his eyes closed. I took another look at the direction of the mountainside. I don't know if it was an illusion, but I seemed to see a row of people standing there, waving goodbye to me.
I told Zhang Hazi my discovery, and he said that they were thanking you for giving them new hope.
So I smiled and waved to them, and then turned back to Zhang Hazi and said, it seems that whether you are a yang person or a yin person, you need something to support you if you want to float in this world.
Zhang Hazi said, what kind of thing?
Let me tell you, you just said, hope.
Zhang Hazi made a sound, ignored me, and continued to take a nap with his eyes closed.
I locked the car doors and windows, and then imitated his example and took the time to rest.
So, we sat there until daybreak, then started the car and drove towards the town.
But before we drove very far, Zhang Hazi asked me, Ha Tudu, are you sure you didn't drive the wrong way?
I didn’t answer Zhang Hazi’s words right away because I was pretty sure I wasn’t driving the wrong way, but the scenes on both sides of the road made me have to doubt whether my judgment was correct----as far as I could see on both sides of the road There are no houses at all, just graveyards less than half a person high!
One after another, densely packed, just like the low houses built on both sides of the road in the countryside.
The further we drove in, the more and more graveyards became concentrated. The layout was no different from the town I saw last night. The only difference was that the town I saw last night were all serious mansions, but here everything is different. It's an old grave!
Even where Zhang Hazi and I had supper last night, there was a row of paper supper stalls in front of the grave. Only the area where Zhu Dabiao belonged had only a solitary grave and no paper late-night snack stall.
So, what Zhang Hazi and I called late night snack last night was actually squatting in front of that lonely grave and smelling the fragrance? And then we went to the late night snack stalls to look for people, and the late night snack stall owners we saw were actually talking to these ghostly people in the graves?
If someone saw this weird scene on the sidelines, they would probably be scared to death on the spot, right?
I told Zhang Hazi what I saw. After hearing this, he frowned and said to me, go to that hotel and have a look.
So I stepped on the accelerator and drove towards the hotel with great anxiety.
We were driving between two rows of graveyards. Although it was a dirt road, it was still smooth. There were no traces of any vehicle running over it, except for our Hummer. So with the excellent off-road capabilities of the Hummer, we walked very smoothly and smoothly, and we arrived at the hotel not long after.
When I saw the so-called hotel, I swallowed subconsciously, and then told Zhang Hazi that there were some empty coffins here. It seemed that we slept in the coffins last night.
Thinking about it now, it's a good thing we came out of the hotel. Otherwise, if we slept in this coffin for one night, we would lose half our lives even if we didn't die.
But when I thought about walking around among the graves last night, and finally lying in the coffin and sleeping for a while, I couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat on my back. This weird experience, even if I am still alive now, I can't help but feel scared if I think about the scene for a moment.
Zhang Hazi said, it seems that there is more than one force trying to deal with you in every big place. Hey, you have so much personal charm.
I rolled my eyes at Zhang Hazi and said, "Why don't you tell me that this hotel is also a link in that bureau?"
Zhang Hazi said, fart! If there hadn't been a funeral procession, do you think the two of us would have been found sleeping in the coffin?
I thought about my experience last night. If I hadn't seen the funeral procession, I might have slept in the hotel all night after eating supper. When the other party boils the frog in warm water, it will definitely boil half of our lives, or even kill us directly.
So Zhang Hazi is right. There is indeed another force with a completely different purpose than the cashier. But there is no doubt that their target is me.
After thinking about this, I couldn't help but smile bitterly and said, some people want me to die, some people want me to be half dead, but I feel that it is a mistake for me to live in this world?
Zhang Hazi shook his head and said, there is nothing we can do about it, that's how ugly people look. Unlike me, I'm so handsome that no one dares to give me any advice except those old beauties.
Let me tell you, as long as you save face, we won't be reduced to this.
Zhang Hazi said, as long as you are one-tenth as handsome as me, we will not become what we are now.
I was too lazy to argue with him. Anyway, I would lose in the end. After all, I wanted to lose face.
So I endured the pain in the soles of my feet, restarted the car, and backed out the way I came. If we can drive into this mass grave, we can get out. As long as you go out and find the right direction, you can continue walking forward.
While driving forward, I asked Zhang Hazi. You couldn't even see it. Zhang Hazi asked me if I was driving the wrong way.
Zhang Hazi said, "If I can't see it, can't I feel the strong corpse air?"
It suddenly dawned on me that this kind of thing is so elusive. It's like I haven't cultivated this thing yet, but everyone seems to have it. Even if the craftsmanship is gone, this thing is still with them.
After driving forward for about half an hour, we walked from this mud road to a concrete road. Then we saw pedestrians coming and going on both sides of the road, but they all avoided this road, even if they really wanted to get there from this mud road. Passing by on the road, he looked nervous and walked in a hurry.
Not only that, when these pedestrians saw our car coming out of this dirt road, they pointed at us and subconsciously kept their distance from us.
I told Zhang Hazi that this place seemed to be a forbidden area for people in the town.
Zhang Hazi said that every place has its own weird legends, not to mention that this place is really problematic. Anyone who sees someone coming out of it early in the morning will be shocked. Believe it or not, maybe the two of us will become part of their legend at noon today.
What people say is scary, I believe that. But I don't care about these, so I have no desire to explain and let them guess.
Along the cement road, we soon arrived at the real town. It was almost an hour's drive away from the mass graves. I guess the Feng Shui there would not affect the town.
Zhang Hazi and I found a place to eat again, and then found a place to sleep. During this period, I found that my mobile phone was damaged by water. I thought I would change it when I woke up, so I didn’t care. I took a shower and fell asleep.
I slept until the afternoon, when I woke up groggily. There is still a little pain on the sole of the foot, but it is more of a numbing feeling. I know it's probably gaining weight and it will be fine soon.
At this time, I really miss the days when Zhang Hazi was skilled in craftsmanship. After all, he only needs to put a piece of paper on my scar as big as a bowl on the back of my neck, and it will be effective immediately, with no sequelae at all. It's not like the damn thing I'm doing now, the effect is many times worse.
Zhang Hazi and I first went to the mobile phone store in the town and bought a new mobile phone with cash. Then we went to a nearby place to find food.
According to the original plan, we should arrive at Xie's house tonight, but Zhang Hazi and I thought it over and decided to stay in the town for one more night and leave tomorrow.
I originally planned to ask the cashier in town about his true identity, but because my phone was damaged and all the photos on it were gone, I couldn’t find out the reason, so I gave up.
So Zhang Hazi and I spent the entire afternoon recuperating in the hotel. When it was time for dinner, I just went downstairs to deal with it casually, and then I planned to go to the supermarket to collect some things and go upstairs, and decided not to go out before dawn.
However, while we were shopping in the supermarket, we saw a familiar figure - a man who had been my classmate for four years and died five years ago, Feng Weiye!
