Yin Qin Mu Xi Niang
The car arrived and stopped at the entrance of the village.
The driver said that cars were not allowed in the village, so they had to get down and walk into the ancestral hall in the village.
The only woman in the crowd asked the driver: "Why do you want to live in the ancestral hall? There is no hotel?"
The driver: "Where is the hotel? It's a dilapidated place in the mountains, just live in some places."
The woman complained: "This is not good. How can people live in places like the ancestral hall?"
Master driver: "The ancestral hall is dedicated to the ancestors. Are you still afraid that the ghost ancestors will come out and use you to fill the descendants well?"
The woman retorted: "That's not my ancestor, not my ghost ancestor."
Master driver: "Then you sleep in the car overnight."
The woman stopped talking, just muttered a few words, and was pulled a few times by the man beside her before she calmed down.
They have a taboo here, the car is parked outside, which means that a funeral is going on in the village. The car drove in, fearing that it would take away the souls of the dead. Ghost ancestors are worshiped in the ancestral hall, and the ancestors will bless their descendants.
But they are all people with foreign surnames, not from the village. There are rumors in some remote mountain villages that outsiders who live in the ancestral hall overnight will be caught by the ghost ancestors to fill the well, so as to bless the prosperity of the villagers.
However, this is a rumor in some mountain villages with a small population or frequent funerals. After all, it is a matter of killing people, and no one dares to take it seriously.
Fang Guo got out of the car, pulled the luggage, and subconsciously turned to look at the man beside him, who was still standing beside him. Like a shadow, he doesn't speak, but it makes Fang Guo feel safe.
A group of people walked forward in silence, the village was very quiet, there were no voices or lights.
Fang Guo was surprised, the sun didn't go down for long. Shouldn't go to bed so early.
The first three people also felt that something was wrong, and one of the men asked the driver: "Can't we spend the night in the car outside? Why do I think it's so quiet here?"
The driver said impatiently: "Why are you so wordy? Have you never been to this village before?"
The man said: "I came here... I didn't stay overnight."
The front and back are mountain villages, and there is no connection with the outside world. I don't know how many dark things are hidden in it, and outsiders don't know it at all. Not to mention worshiping some evil god.
The man is also from a remote mountain village, and he has a deep understanding of some backward concepts of the villagers.
What's more, this mountain village looks really weird.
There was no one for a long time, and the sun had just set. The village was so quiet that no human voice could be heard, it was too eerie.
The driver waved his hand and said, "I've been to this village dozens of times, and I haven't seen anything happen at night. As long as you don't run out of the ancestral hall...don't think badly about it."
Fang Guo also asked the driver, "Did something happen in the village? It was just dark and there was no sound."
The driver master said: "Probably there is a white funeral."
"White mourning—"
"Okay, okay! Don't worry about going back to the car to spend the night by yourself, and don't blame me for calling something away on the way. I'm too lazy to wait."
Seeing that the driver was really annoyed, Fang Guo and the others shut up.
He walked side by side with the man beside him, and was the last one.
Fang Guo whispered to the man: "My name is Fang Guo, what's your name?"
The man walked quietly without speaking.
Fang Guo thought that he didn't want to talk to him, since he seemed to be a quiet person after all. Touching his nose resentfully, he didn't come forward to talk to him again.
After walking quietly for more than ten minutes, the sky became darker and darker, until at last there was no light at all. However, the master driver refused to turn on the light, saying that something would be attracted.
The other man among the three has a bad temper and has long disliked the driver. Cursing and turning on the phone to light the way, the driver sighed annoyed when he saw that he couldn't stop him.
The driver said: "Don't leave the ancestral hall tonight, the sun will come out tomorrow morning, and you can leave if you are fine."
Fang Guo was stunned for a moment, feeling that the driver was muttering, as if he knew something.
But he can't leave tomorrow morning, he came here to attend Wei Ran's funeral. According to the date mentioned by the squad leader, they will probably stay here for two or three days. But in such a weird village, he didn't know if he could stay for two or three days.
For some reason, at the moment when the lights came on, Fang Guo seemed to catch a glimpse of a shadow passing by the entrance of the alley from the corner of his eyes. Swishling, like swarms of mice walking by.
Fang Guo shook his body and turned his head to look. I saw nothing, the light passed, and the entrance of the alley was completely dark. But he always felt that there were many people standing there, silently staring at them as they walked past.
"Arrived."
Fang Guo came back to his senses, and turned his head to see an antique building in front of him. There are four words written on the plaque above: X's Ancestral Hall.
The word in front of the word shi is unclear, it should be the surname of the village. Combined with Wei Ran's surname, it should be Wei.
Wei's ancestral hall.
The entrance is empty, like this kind of ancestral temple, there are usually two stone lions at the entrance. A small temple will be built outside to worship the land god. But there were none, only two red lanterns.
Hanging on the doorway, it was glowing red, as if stained with blood.
This made Fang Guo feel that this place is not like an ancestral hall, but rather an ancestral hall full of corpses.
The driver went straight forward, opened the door and walked in: "Come in."
Fang Guo walked forward, and when he stepped over the threshold, he suddenly thought that generally speaking, ancestral halls are very important places for the clan. In ancient times, even an accidental escape would alarm the entire clan, worrying that the unfilial conduct of the descendants would make the ancestors unhappy.
It is strictly forbidden for outsiders to enter, fearing that they will destroy the ancestral hall.
Why did the master driver casually say that the ancestral hall is a place for travelers to stay overnight? The villagers in the mountain village actually agreed
Mountain villages or ancient mountain villages, places that are freely lent to travelers to rest their feet seem to be... Yizhuang.
"Young man, what are you doing standing on the threshold? Come in."
The woman among the three is calling Fang Guo over.
Fang Guo returned to his senses, ignoring the uneasiness in his heart. Turning his head to the man beside him, he said, "Let's go in."
After speaking, he walked in.
When passing by that woman, the woman suddenly asked: "Who were you talking to just now?"
Fang Guo didn't know, so he said, "Huh?"
The woman looked a little embarrassed: "I'm not... Along the way, I saw you talking to the air a few times... I just wondered who you were talking to? But you young people like to talk to yourself. Ha, talk to yourself. "
The woman didn't think of other places, she only thought that Fang Guo had some brain problems.
After Fang Guo listened, he suddenly looked behind him.
He found a black figure standing outside the door, his face could not be seen clearly, like a dense fog in the shape of a human.
He didn't follow.
He was standing at the door, looking at him. He followed them all the way and sat by his side.
Ghost, follow them all the way.
Fang Guo's face was pale.
