Su An was startled, "What?"
The three hurried forward, only to see that all four tires of the car were punctured and missing.
Zhou Hao had to lift his foot and kick the tire, "Fuck." He took out his mobile phone and looked reluctantly, but there was still no signal. If there is no signal, you can't call someone to repair the car.
Chen Tian squatted down and studied it, hesitating, "Teacher, this seems to be sabotaged."
Along the way, the rain had wet their clothes. Yu Suan sighed, "It looks like we have to go back to Xijing Village."
Qin Qin didn't like that village very much, "Teacher, if we walk on foot, can we reach our destination in one day?"
Yu Suan took out the map and looked at it, then shook his head, "If we were on foot, we would have to walk for two days at the most. This place is remote. Now it's the rainy season, so during the day it's fine. At night, we're afraid that there will be many difficulties, but we can't. Don't sleep at night."
Qin Qin was silent for a while, "Forget it, teacher, let's go back."
Yu Suan took a deep breath and said solemnly: "There are only people from Xijing Village nearby. If the tires are really destroyed as Chen Tian said, then the other party is most likely someone from Xijing Village... This village is really It's kind of weird, and I even suspect that there is—"
The word "ghost" was swallowed by him.
Even if he saw the ghost with his own eyes, he knew that the students wouldn't believe him without proof. Yu Suan was a little anxious, but she didn't know what to say to them.
He rubbed his eyebrows wearily: "From now on, any activity must be carried out by more than two people. Everyone should be vigilant and put safety first."
The students looked at each other and nodded.
An hour later, the four teachers and students returned to Xijing Village. As soon as they entered the village, they saw the elder brother of the villager sitting under the eaves of his own house to take shelter from the rain. The elder elder brother smiled at them in surprise, and trotted up, rubbing his hands together, "Mr. Yu, why are you back? ?"
Yu Suan pretended to be calm and said, "Brother Liu, our car broke down. I want to stay here for a few more days, okay?"
"Of course," Big Brother Liu smiled deeper, "Still live where you used to live?"
Yu Suan hesitated for a moment, "Okay."
He took the initiative: "Are we going to talk to the village chief?"
Brother Liu shook his head, "The village chief can't take it now, so I'll take you there. The roads in our village are too complicated. You've only walked through it once, and you certainly won't be able to remember the way."
He turned back cheerfully: "Daughter-in-law, take out the extra breakfast you made in the morning!"
Yu Suan hurriedly said: "Thank you, brother, we don't need breakfast. Brother Liu, if we stay here for a few more days, it's not a problem to bother you to help us cook. I want to buy some salt and oil from you for cooking. Rice grain, what do you think?"
Brother Liu smiled and nodded, "No problem."
Yu Suan breathed a sigh of relief, and then continued: "By the way, Brother Liu, how do you usually get to the city?"
Brother Liu paused, "We go to the city to sell things once a month, and we have been there last month. If you want to follow us to the city, you will have to wait until the end of the month."
There's still a week left until the end of the month.
The students looked at each other, pulled out their phones, and though there was no signal, they had a conversation by changing the name of Bluetooth.
[Qin Qin: This uncle's smile has never changed, so scary. ]
[Zhou Hao: This village definitely hides a secret. After we got rid of him, we secretly went to find out what happened in this village. ]
Chen Tian hurriedly glanced at Zhou Hao disapprovingly, "Zhou Hao, don't be ridiculous, what if something happens? ]
Zhou Hao thought about it carefully, [The tires of the car are all punctured, do you think we can be safe? What we don't do, they do what they do to us. We might as well do it before they reveal their true colors. We know what they want to do to us, and we can adapt accordingly. ]
[Qin Qin: Zhou Hao is right. ]
When their conversation ended, the group happened to pass through a barren house full of weeds. Qin Qin tapped the camera without a trace, took several photos of the barren house, and recorded a short video.
Chen Tian watched her actions, followed suit, and secretly pointed the camera's hole at the villager's elder brother.
Zhou Hao covered them, stepped forward to cover the two with his tall figure, and swaggered: "Uncle, are there no girls in your village? Why haven't I seen any young girls."
Brother Liu's expression softened, "Of course there are girls in our village, but they don't come out to meet people on weekdays."
Zhou Hao: "Why?"
Brother Liu's face froze and his smile was a little cold. He glanced at Zhou Hao lightly: "Because this is a custom in our place."
Su An changed the topic with a smile, "Brother Liu, are all the people in this village surnamed Liu?"
In remote villages like this, most of them have the same surname.
Brother Liu nodded, "From the beginning of the village to the end of the village, we are all people with the surname Liu."
Su An understood.
But last night that kid said his name was He Taosheng, and he lived at No. 118, Xijing Village.
If he hadn't lied, just by the name of the kid, he could inquire about the kid's story with the locals.
Su An moved her lips, glanced at the smiling expression on Big Brother Liu's face, and swallowed the question, "We're here, thank you Big Brother Liu."
Brother Liu left a meal for them and said enthusiastically: "There is a river at the west end of our village, as clear as a mirror. If you are all right, you can go there and play. It is the most beautiful river in our Xijing Village!"
Zhou Hao was the first to say, "We will, see you uncle."
After they left, Qin Qin and Chen Tian breathed a sigh of relief until the door was blocked. They took out their mobile phones and checked what they had just photographed.
Qin Qin enlarged the content of the picture, frowned and said, "Teacher, come and have a look."
As Su An got closer, the picture was a barren house. The towering weeds in the courtyard like an adult man almost hid most of the house and a large area of land.
Only when you zoom in on the ground, you can see the dry-to-crack ground between the weeds.
How strange, it was still raining in the sky, and everywhere in the village was soaked by the rain until it became moldy, but this piece of land was dry to the point of cracking the soil.
Chen Tian's scalp was numb, and he muttered, "How is this done..."
Su An had a vague premonition, "Is there a sign outside this house?"
Qin Qin flipped through the other photos, played the video, and finally found a rusted iron number on a frame that flashed by in the video.
Qin Qin identified with difficulty: "1, 1—"
Teacher Yu: "No. 118."
Qin Qin exclaimed in a low voice, "It's really No. 118! Teacher, how did you know?"
Teacher Yu's face turned pale, he smiled reluctantly, "You shouldn't believe it, teacher was in hell last night."
The students all showed a "Damn" expression.
Su An continued: "It's a four or five-year-old kid. He said his name was He Taosheng and he lived at No. 118 Xijing Village."
Teacher Yu covered his face, "I know you may not believe it, but it's the truth. When he came, you fell into a deep sleep, and you couldn't wake up, until the kid left, and Chen Tian woke up. "
Chen Tian: "…"
He shuddered suddenly.
Zhou Hao was a little hairy, but he really didn't believe that there were ghosts in the world, and he was half-believing: "Why are ghosts staring at you?"
Teacher Yu looked up at him in frustration, "I don't know either."
His face was rubbed red by himself, his black hair was messy, and there was a dazed mist in his eyes, which was a bit more serious than his normal appearance, and never showed his loss and youth in front of the students. Zhou Hao's face was slightly red, and he turned his head: "I guess it is because you are bullying, and your body is shining with maternal brilliance."
After all, "thing mom" is not just called casually.
Su An froze, could it be that he really looks like a "mother"

The atmosphere was quiet for a while, and Chen Tian rubbed his arms: "Teacher, why don't we take turns to keep watch tonight."
Su An couldn't ask for it, and was grateful: "Okay."
"We'll talk about the vigil at night," Zhou Hao looked at the time, "it's not even noon, so even ghosts wouldn't dare to come out during the day, right? It's not enough to stay in the house, we should at least find out what's going on in this village. Structure. The uncle mentioned the river in the village twice, Chen Tian, why don't you go and see it with me?"
Chen Tian nodded.
Su An thought for a while, "The river is at the west end of the village, so I'll leave it to you to find out the route of the village in the west. Qin Qin and I will go to the east end."
Qin Qin reminded in a low voice, "Remember to keep the video on at all times, and use the video function to record the structure and the status of the villagers here. We can't investigate openly. If we violate the taboos of these villagers, it will be bad."
The Bluetooth connection device was only maintained at about ten meters. Yu Suan repeatedly reminded the students to pay attention to safety. The four teachers and students prepared and went to the east and west respectively.
Su An and Qin Qin deliberately avoided the villagers. They turned left and right, slowly passed through the messy houses, and also came to a river.
The river water is clear, and the water droplets make bubbles the size of beans in the river. Su An picked up a branch, stood by the river and probed into the depths. The water submerged the branch, and it was about two meters deep.
While he was measuring the width of the river, Qin Qin suddenly heard a call behind him.
"Help!"
Qin Qin's brain was in a trance for a moment. She raised her umbrella and looked around, only to see a seven- or eight-year-old girl wearing a bellyband on the other side of the river, being dragged into the water by two fierce men. The river flooded the little girl's head, the little girl struggled to stick her head out, crying in despair, and desperately stretched out her hand towards Qin Qin, "Sister, save me!"
The tender arms waved nonchalantly.
Qin Qin's thinking was suddenly covered with a layer of fog, she seemed to be bewitched and forgot everything was wrong, and hurried forward, "Let her go!"
The two big men looked up at her faintly.
A timid Qin Qin didn't know where a huge courage was born, she strode forward, "Don't be afraid, my sister is here to save you!"
The little girl stretched out her hand, her eyes full of hope of being saved, "Sister!"
Qin Qin stretched out his hand, and when he was about to meet the little girl, Teacher Yu grabbed her from behind and shouted, "Qin Qin!"
Like a bell tolling, Qin Qin suddenly woke up. She looked around blankly, and then she realized that she had stepped into the depths of the river at some point. If she took a step forward, the river would touch the top of her head.
Afraid of rising, Qin Qin took a big step back, trembling: "Teacher..."
Su An dragged her ashore, "What did you see?"
Qin Qin trembled: "I saw a girl... a seven or eight-year-old girl, she asked me to save her."
She suddenly remembered that she was still holding the phone in her hand, "I should have recorded something like..." Looking down, the phone was already in the water, Qin Qin's face turned pale, and he quickly wrapped the phone with the corner of his clothes.
Su An looked at her anxious behavior and comforted her: "It's okay Qin Qin, the phone will be broken if it breaks. Just be careful next time. I'll give you my phone."
Qin Qin glanced at the old smartphone in his hand and smiled weakly, "It doesn't matter teacher, my phone is waterproof."
Su An: "...that's really nice."
