Li Yin still remembered that Xia Yuan specially gave him a piece of advice before leaving.
"The fourth blood letter instruction begins, and the danger is often invisible. To survive, one must observe, be cautious, and find out a certain pattern, even if the slightest unnaturalness cannot be let go. It has been a long time since I have lived The person instructed in blood three times is dead, so I hope you can survive."
And what he particularly emphasized was—
"Never believe what anyone says, even yourself. Because your eyes will deceive you. Maybe you are walking on a cliff, but you will feel that you are actually on a flat ground. .”
Li Yin kept these words in mind, and did not dare to relax even for a moment.
The village head's invitation this time is a great "unnatural".
"I am the head of this village, surnamed Zhang." The old village head was supported by the young woman, and led Li Yin and the four of them to his own house.
"Village Chief Zhang," Ye Kexin asked first, "Why... are you willing to let us live here?"
"Haha," the village head said with a mysterious smile, "I'm different from those uncivilized old antiques. Youshui Village can't develop in this mountain forever. Don't be nervous. You can live as long as you want. "
The young woman who supported him hurriedly said: "Grandpa, is this... really good? Tomorrow, just in time, is Bing'er's memorial day. At this time..."
Binger's memorial day
Li Yin's heart skipped a beat.
Tomorrow... is the day to officially start living in Youshui Village according to the apartment's instructions in blood. And that Binger is the "Li Bing" mentioned just now
It just so happens to be the festival day...
If it was a coincidence, he wouldn't believe it even if he was killed.
The village chief's house is quite grand, it looks like a small western-style building, it is three stories high, and the outer floor is made of reinforced concrete, unlike other houses, most of them are ordinary cement houses.
After all, it was not the time to be polite, so Li Yin and the others entered the village chief's house.
Of course, the village head was also very cautious, took them to his room, sat down, asked his granddaughter to leave first, closed the door, and then asked, "So, can you tell me your names?"
After all, it is a person of unknown origin, and the village head has to figure it out.
Li Yin replied: "My name is Li Yin, this is Qin Shoutian, Luo Hengyan, Ye Kexin..."
At this moment, the door suddenly opened, and a young man with short hair came in, glanced at Li Yin and the others coldly, and said to the village chief: "Grandpa... Sure enough, I heard from the villagers that you brought a group of unknown people with you." People want to live in, is it true?"
"Ah Wu! Why are you so impolite!" Village Chief Zhang immediately said angrily, "Who am I to invite? I still need your approval!"
The young man named Ah Wu didn't give in, and said, "Grandpa, whoever you want to invite is free, but I can't bear the sight of these dubious people coming to the village!"
Immediately, Luo Hengyan, who was more irritable, became angry. He immediately stood up and said, "You, who are you calling nonsense!"
Li Yin also stood up immediately, and said in a low voice: "Are you making a mistake! Is this the time to care about such things?" Then he said with a smile on his face: "Sir, we are experiencing the rural customs, there is absolutely no Malicious, stay for a month, we will leave."
"One month?" The young man named Ah Wu was furious, and said, "Do you still want to live for that long? Get out of here! Tell you, what haunting is said by people with a guilty conscience, that Li Bing committed suicide, the police The case is closed! There are still people who use ghosts and gods to catch wind and shadows!"
suicide
This surprised Li Yin a little.
However, it is still very tense. Everyone has read ghost stories. It is also a very common routine for people who commit suicide to become ghosts.
Ah Wu's glaring glances made Li Yin more sure..."Haunted" is not a catch-and-shoot.
"Okay, Ah Wu!" Village Chief Zhang slammed his cane on the ground and said, "Go back to my room! Mr. Li and the others are my guests, how can you be rude to them!"
"Hmph!" Ah Wu ignored it at all, and said, "Grandpa, you really let them live for a month? Do you know their details?"
Village head Zhang waved his crutches and hit that Ah Wu! The latter was caught off guard and hit his shoulder hard!
"Go back to my room!" Village Chief Zhang was angry, and suddenly, he started coughing again.
Li Yin was very puzzled.
Beating his grandson for the sake of a few of them strangers? What is the plan of the village chief
The degree of "unnaturalness" is getting stronger and stronger.
But Ah Wu glared at Li Yin and the others, and said, "See how proud you are!" Then, he rushed out of the room, and ended up bumping into a middle-aged woman!
"Ah Wu! What are you doing!" The middle-aged woman covered her forehead and said, "Such a rampage!"
"Mom, you can ask Grandpa yourself!" Then, Ah Wu rushed out, and the middle-aged woman immediately followed suit.
"I'm laughing at you all." Village head Zhang immediately closed the door and said, "Don't worry about anything, just stay here, just stay here."
Li Yin felt that Village Chief Zhang had some intentions in inviting them here.
what is it then
There are four people living in Village Chief Zhang's house, including him, his daughter Zhang Yinglan, who is the middle-aged woman just now, his grandson Zhang Hongwu, and his granddaughter Zhang Suyue, who is also the young girl. The son-in-law of the village head died three years ago.
With Ah Wu's atmosphere, Li Yin thinks that it is really inappropriate for everyone to have dinner together, so he suggested that they have a small stove for dinner and don't bother the village chief. Anyway, just in case, I also brought a lot of food.
To Li Yin's surprise... the village head didn't insist, and after hearing what he said, he agreed.
Late at night.
The turbulent water poured down the waterfall, and Axiu was walking towards the waterfall while dripping water.
"Sister Bing'er..." At this moment, her face was full of tears.
At the same time, near the village chief's house, lived the middle-aged man who made things difficult for Li Yin and the others in the morning. His name is Yan Haotian, he is a very bold and popular person in the village. Currently, he is still living alone.
"What is the village head thinking..."
At this time, it was almost midnight, but Yan Haotian still had trouble falling asleep.
It stands to reason that it was almost summer, but he felt cold all over, so he put on an extra quilt. But even so, I still feel shivering.
Suddenly, he felt wet under the quilt. I didn't pay much attention to it at first, but later, it felt like the whole quilt was soaked in water!
Yan Haotian immediately sat up and lifted the quilt, and the whole bed was completely soaked by water at some point.
He immediately sat up, and when his feet touched the floor... he was also submerged in water!
"What... what's going on?"
He began to wonder and wonder.
The room was very dark, and since there was no electric light, he couldn't tell the direction at all, so he could only move forward by groping. Because I have lived here for a long time, I am already familiar with it, so I didn't bump into the furniture.
I groped to the drawer and found that it was also covered with water. He opened the drawer and took out a kerosene lamp and a box of matches.
After lighting the lamp, he felt a little relieved.
At this moment, it's past midnight.
The time has entered June 7.
Yan Haotian walked out of the bedroom, went outside to have a look, and found that the water on the ground was quite serious.
"Heavy rain?"
However, there is clearly a bright moon in the sky outside the window, where is there any sign of rain
Soon he felt that water was dripping from the ceiling.
Yan Haotian raised the kerosene lamp and saw that there was indeed water on the ceiling.
But... when he saw that scene, he was immediately frightened out of his wits!
How... how is it possible
On the snow-white ceiling, unexpectedly, rows of footprints were left! Footprints made of water!
The footprints clearly show the five toes. Is it possible for a person to walk upside down from the ceiling
Yan Haotian collected himself, bit his lips tightly, and watched the footprints on the ceiling extend into the kitchen.
Although very frightened, Yan Haotian still wanted to see it. Perhaps, some explanation can be found to understand this strange phenomenon.
Trembling, he walked toward the kitchen.
The kitchen is not very big, it can be seen at a glance, and there is nowhere to hide people.
Except... that big cupboard.
And the footprints on the ceiling actually extended to the top of the cupboard, and then moved to the wall against which the cupboard was leaning!
"No, it's impossible."
Yan Haotian held the kerosene lamp high and walked slowly towards the cupboard. Every step is like walking on thin ice.
When he finally reached the cupboard, he grabbed the cupboard door with his left hand and took a deep breath.
"No...it has nothing to do with me...Li Bing, you committed suicide, I didn't kill you, you, don't come to me..."
Then, he slammed the cupboard door open completely!
Under the light of the kerosene lamp, what caught his eyes was—
Bowls and spoons are neatly arranged.
Everything is normal.
"call-"
Yan Haotian felt that his whole body was going to collapse at the moment, but he finally relaxed. Sure enough, he was scaring himself.
But what about the footprints on the ceiling? Is it a prank? But no one in the village had a feud with him. Also, can the water stains of those footprints alone accumulate so much water
Still, scoop out all the water first, otherwise, there is no way to sleep.
So he closed the cupboard door and decided to take the washbasin to scoop up the water first.
Just as the cupboard door was about to close...
A bloodless hand actually stretched out from the cupboard and blocked the door!
Before Yan Haotian had time to react, another hand stretched out and grabbed his neck. Immediately, the door of the cupboard opened, and Yan Haotian's body was dragged into the cupboard just like that!
The door of the cupboard was slammed shut, and there was no response for a long time. And those stagnant water, as if being absorbed, seeped into the ground and disappeared.
A gust of wind blew, and the cupboard door was blown open again. Inside, there were still neatly placed bowls and spoons.
