Chapter 20 The Shadow of Yequan Town
The three-wheeled donkey kept shaking, probably because of disrepair. The road in front of me was extremely broken, with sandy and soil exposed on many grounds. In addition, the shock absorption of this three-wheeled motorcycle was very poor, so it felt like it was not to mention it. The car drove for less than fifteen minutes, and it simply disappeared and turned into a dirt road, which turned even more bumpy.
I don’t know how long it took to drive, but just when the instant noodles in Xing Tianyu’s stomach were about to be pushed out, the car suddenly stopped.
Xing Tianyu thought to himself that he had finally arrived. When he looked outside, he was confused, but there was a valley outside.
Xing Tianyu's heart suddenly became nervous. Could it be that he had encountered the Taoist robbery?
"Why don't you leave the master?" He said, exercising his hands and feet. At least he has experienced it in life and death. If something is wrong, he will not be able to stand still.
"What are you going? There is no road ahead. I can send you here at most."
"How far is Yequan Town?"
"Yequan Town is on the other side of the mountain. Do you see the slope there? After going up there, there is a small path to go over. After walking a section, you will see a small river. It's not too far after crossing the river."
Xing Tianyu thought it was true and false. He looked ahead. There was indeed a gap between the two hills. With his outstanding vision, he could vaguely see a path of intestinal treacherously extending into it.
As if he saw Xing Tianyu's hesitation, the driver suddenly said, "If you are afraid of darkness, I will take you back to the station hotel. I will come back tomorrow morning, but the car money must be paid for it." The driver said, Xing Tianyu thought to himself that you had such an idea. He was too lazy to get out of the car. As soon as he turned over and got out of the car, he walked towards the small road. The driver shook his head and drove away when he saw it.
Xing Tianyu carried his suitcase and walked on the path between the two mountains with one foot deep and one foot shallow. When the roar of the tricycle disappeared, the surroundings suddenly fell into silence. The more he walked, he felt more and more terrible people around him. He thought it was really dead. Why did he run into the deep mountains in the middle of the night? Qin Ming, Qin Ming, you kid are really not a thing, and it doesn’t make people worry about death.
Fortunately, his eyes have night vision. Although it is hard to walk on the mountain road, at least he will not fall off by stepping on the air.
As we walked on the slope, there was indeed a small road. Because everyone repaired the weeds on both sides of the road grew to the middle of the road, but the road was still complete, Xing Tianyu walked along this road. The road was extremely tortuous. There were either shrubs, weeds or mountains on both sides of the road, which made it difficult to identify the direction. Fortunately, there was no fork on this road, and I don’t know how long I walked, but suddenly a sound of water was heard ahead.
Bypassing the mound in front of you, a river indeed appeared in front of you.
Fortunately, it is not a big river. It is only a few meters wide. A stone bridge that looks a little old looks across the river. The river water is turbulent under the bridge and is shining with black light in the night. There is also a stone tablet at the bridge with three faded red characters written on it - Yequan Town.
Xing Tianyu breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that he was about to arrive, and the surroundings became wider after crossing the river, and even saw a lot of farmland. Unfortunately, most of them were abandoned. The weeds and some degraded crops grew together, which made people inexplicably create a sad atmosphere. I continued to walk forward for a while, and from a distance, I saw the dark outline of a town that appeared in my sight.
That should be Yequan Town. In the night, the town was almost silent. Although it was only less than nine o'clock now, there was almost no light in the town. No, in the middle of the town, you could vaguely see a few lights, but the light was very dim, not like electric lights, but like something like lanterns. The dim light not only did not bring any sense of security, but instead had a strange atmosphere.
That should be where he was going. Xing Tianyu almost instinctively wanted to turn around and leave, but he forced himself not to do so, but walked towards the town.
Soon, he stepped onto the streets of the town.
The closer you get, the more uneasy Xing Tianyu feels. This ghost place is too creepy. There are many houses in the town, but most of them are abandoned. Some have no windows and some have collapsed walls. Old buildings that should have had a very ancient charm give people a sense of staleness and weirdness, which instinctively creates some uneasy uneasiness.
Many abandoned houses were exposed with dark windows and doors, and the dark holes inside were different from the simple loneliness she had when she was in the wild. At this moment, walking in this abandoned town, Xing Tianyu felt not lonely. On the contrary, he felt that he was being watched by many unknown eyes. The dark windows and doors were like a strange cave made of artificially hiding countless malicious gazes, peeping at him in the dark.
He knew that it should be just his illusion. When he was a child, he would always have similar bad associations whenever he saw a dark cave or a bottomless puddle.
Suddenly, a burst of rapid footsteps suddenly sounded behind him, as if something was approaching quickly from behind him. Xing Tianyu turned around in fear.
But there was nothing behind him. He took a deep breath. The footsteps just now were definitely not his illusion. Something must have been hidden nearby. He walked slowly over and walked around a wall. A white shadow stood in the open space not far behind him. When he saw what the thing was, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief. It was a white old dog, not knowing where it came out. At this time, he was squatting in the middle of the street, staring at something. The footsteps just now were probably what it was when it ran.
Wool, wool! The old dog roared twice in front of him. Xing Tianyu walked over and looked in the direction the old dog was staring. It was an abandoned old house. The door was gone. Only the dark inside was seen, which looked no different from the abandoned houses around him. The old dog looked at the darkness behind the abandoned house, and a threatening growl came from his throat.
Xing Tianyu looked into the door curiously and vigilantly. Suddenly, he found something wrong. The darkness was so deep that even his eyes that could see through it, which was the first time he had encountered this situation. He had not carefully calculated how strong his eyes had night vision. Therefore, he could not determine whether this situation was normal. On the contrary, Xing Tianyu took out a flashlight and slapped it inside.
The light column of the flashlight easily pierced the darkness in front of him. Xing Tianyu vaguely felt the darkness in front of him twist. It seemed that a black shadow flashed past and disappeared from the edge of his perspective. However, after a glance, there was no strangeness in the room. However, on the floor at the corner of the room, Xing Tianyu saw a dark hole, which seemed to be the entrance to a basement.
Should I go over and see what is in the basement? Xing Tianyu thought to himself, and his intuition told him that something must be hidden in the darkness, an unknown secret, a mysterious existence, he should figure it out clearly.
But the reason in his heart is telling him not to be stupid, there is nothing there, when you walk in, you will only see a deserted basement, which may have nothing inside, there may be some forgotten rags, or a few rats, snakes, etc.
Xing Tianyu felt a little confused. Life experience told him that he should obey the rational voice in his heart, but if he just went in and took a look, it seemed that he would not waste much time.
However, he took a deep breath, closed his eyes and pondered for a moment, but finally did not take that step. No matter what secrets there are in the dark, let it stay there. There are so many abandoned houses in this town. If he had to take a look at every darkness, he would have to be exhausted.
