Beiquan laughed softly.

When he deliberately slowed down his speech, the sound was like a stream gurgling over pebbles, which was inexplicably reassuring.

"Don't worry, you can start from the beginning slowly."

Beiquan thought about it and decided to take a little risk, so he suggested:

"Perhaps, should I ask you to introduce yourself first?"

The young man on the other end of the phone let out a loud gasp, and seemed to be breathing heavily to calm down.

[Host, just call me Ayun.]

The other said:

[I am a third-year student, studying photography... We... Yes, we are about to hold an exhibition, so the teacher took us out to collect scenery...]

The two keywords "photography" and "exhibition" touched Beiquan's memory of last week, but he did not continue to ask too much personal information about the caller, but asked:

"Oh, where have you been?"

[I, I remember...]

The young man who calls himself Ayun seems to be trying hard to recall:

[Originally planned to go to a folk-style resort in the southern Henan Mountains to take pictures, but the classmates who were driving took a wrong turn on the road, and we got lost... ]

[It was getting dark soon and it was raining... We thought we were going to sleep in the wilderness in the rain, but we accidentally found an abandoned village...]

"and many more."

Beiquan frowned:

"You mean, abandoned village?"

[Yes! It's a waste village!]

Ayun answered quickly, and his tone was extremely determined:

[The village looks abandoned for a long time!]

[Because many houses have collapsed, and everywhere are dilapidated, let alone people, not even a dog or a cat!]

Beiquan said "Oh":

"So, you stayed?"

[Um.]

Ayun choked painfully:

[At that time, we had no other better choice and had to spend the night there.]

From his tone, Beiquan could tell that Ayun regretted their decision very much.

Beiquan said softly:

"You must have been very scared when you spent the night in the abandoned village?"

[Uh... no.]

However, Ayun answered an answer that surprised Beiquan.

[Actually, we were not afraid at all at that time.]

He paused:

[There are a lot of us, and the place is not deep in the mountains and forests. Except for the steep mountain road, there is no danger... The mobile phone signal is a little weak, and it is difficult to connect to the Internet, but you can still make calls and send and receive text messages...]

[Not only are we not afraid, but we also think it is quite fun...]

Beiquan asked:

"How many of you are there? How many men and how many women?"

[There are eight of us.]

Ayun replied:

[One teacher, is our counselor... three girls, four boys.]

Beiquan silently took this information in his heart.

[Me, we all thought it was like an unexpected adventure at first, very novel and interesting. Someone else suggested that if you can stay for an extra day, maybe you can take good photos or something...]

The faster Ayun spoke, the more clear the cry in his voice:

[And then something happened!]

&&& &&& &&&

According to A Yun's description, although the group of young students got lost and stranded in a deserted village, they didn't feel the slightest panic at first, but were excited by this sudden and novel experience.

They parked the car at the entrance of the village, walked around the entire deserted village before the sun went down, and then cleaned out two adjacent complete houses, intending to spend the night in it.

Someone used a weak mobile phone signal to search for relevant information about this abandoned mountain village. After locating it, they found that it turned out to be the legendary "Xuanmen Village".

There are many rumors about this village on the Internet. Every so often, young people will come here to explore the spirit, but they are all thunder and rain.

After discovering that this place turned out to be a well-known haunted holy place, instead of being afraid, the group of students became even more excited.

[We lit candles in the evening, wandered around the village, and took videos and so-called ghost photos, which we plan to post on our social media when we go back.]

Ayun took a deep breath:

[Then, someone suggested that we might as well play pen fairy… ]

"Oh?"

Beiquan asked:

"Who suggested it?"

The young man on the other end of the phone was silent for a few seconds.

[Feel sorry…]

After a while, he murmured in a low voice:

[I do not remember…]

Beiquan was not disappointed by the expected answer.

He went on to ask:

"Have you all participated in the pen fairy game? Including the teacher?"

[… probably.]

Ayun's tone was a little hesitant:

[At that time... everyone should have played.]

Wei Fuyuan, who was sitting outside listening, snorted coldly.

If you don't die, you won't die. Why do these people always seek their own way

However, when Beiquan inquired about Ayun's experience with the pen fairy, the other party said that nothing strange happened at all.

[Actually, I don't think we really invited anything.]

The youth stammered to explain:

[Because, because I had a crush on a very beautiful girl in the class, when someone asked if Banhua had a boyfriend, I deliberately pushed the pen hard toward [No]... and then I pushed it easily.]

Beiquan's fingers silently tapped twice on the table.

"What happened next?"

he asked.

Ayun replied that after they ended the pen fairy game like a joke that day, some people said that it was not enough, and they still played the four-corner game.

But it was getting late at that time, everyone was really tired after running around all day, so they gave up the plan to continue to die, divided into two groups of men and women by gender, and each lived in the two rooms they had just cleaned up.

[I felt very sleepy at the time, so I fell asleep-]

Ayun suddenly raised the volume:

[I didn't expect that when I woke up, everything changed!]

&&& &&& &&&

Ayun is very sure that last night, the group of them arrived in a deserted mountain village that had been abandoned for many years, and they lived in a dilapidated house.

However, the next day, he was woken up by the loud sound of gongs and drums.

A Yun and his classmates hurriedly got up and found themselves sleeping on a complete kang, with an old but clean mattress under them, and a dark blue printed sheet on their bodies.

Everyone was stunned.

Before they figured out what happened, a few middle-aged men and women who looked like villagers pushed open the door, and they pushed and shoved a few people out.

Outside the house, they saw more people.

Beiquan and Wei Fuyuan finally figured out what happened to the group of students in Ayun's description of being nervous and excited.

When everyone woke up, the originally barren and dilapidated village turned into a village where people lived. It was not large in scale, but there were men and women, old and young, and there were two or three hundred people.

It's just that despite the popularity in the village, A Yun and the others were so frightened that they almost knelt down on the spot.

There is no other reason, because whether it is a village or a villager, it is too weird.

The house is a low-rise tile-roofed building with red brick and stucco structure. The villagers are wearing cloth jackets with two fronts and cloth shoes with bernet soles. There are actually two women with small feet in the crowd.

It's as if they woke up, and the time went back a hundred years, and they returned to the mountain village during the Republic of China.

[At that time, we all felt that we had passed through!]

Ayun took a breath:

[But soon, things got more and more weird...]

For some reason, these villagers seem to regard A Yun and the others who came from "traveling" as travelers who pass through here temporarily, and warmly invite them—or more correctly, they directly wrap them up to participate in the training in the village. A ceremonial ceremony was held.

They couldn't refuse at all, so they had to be dragged around the village for a long time by the villagers, and it was not until noon that they noticed that there was one person missing from their classmates.

Hearing Ayun say this, Beiquan interrupted him:

"Who is missing among you?"

Ayun's memory seemed to be a little confused, he said "uh", thought for a while before answering:

[It should be my roommate... um, probably...]

He paused for a moment, then couldn't wait to speak again.

[It was a very chaotic day, and it was only at night that we found out that another girl was lost!]

[No one knows where she went, and didn't even notice when she disappeared!]

Ayun's voice began to tremble:

[We searched everywhere, asked the villagers, and searched all the places we passed by during the day, but we couldn't find any of the two missing people!]

[At that time, we were about to die of fright, and we were so panicked that we didn’t know what to do!]

[Someone suggested that we leave the village quickly, but the car we parked at the entrance of the village was gone, and it was getting dark—]

The young man's voice on the other end of the phone trembled:

[We dare not go into the mountains in the dark, so we can only... We can only wait for tomorrow...]

Beiquan waited patiently for Ayun to calm down.

After the young man's choking sound stopped for a while, he asked:

"So, what did you do the next day?"

[—No, host, you don’t know!]

Ayun called out, his voice sharp:

[We don't have a second day at all!]

[It's scary, right? But what I say is true! - We don't have a second day at all!]

"What's the meaning?"

Beiquan frowned and asked in a deep voice:

"What is 'no day two'?"

[There is no second day!]

Ayun's tone could be described as "hysterical":

[The second day, the third day, the fourth day—all are [yesterday]]!]

The young man shouted:

[Every day when I open my eyes, I see the same group of people breaking into the room and dragging me out of the house to go to that damn festival!]

[And then every day, when the festival ends, a companion will disappear!]

[Our number is decreasing every day, one by one!]

[I don't know where they went, and whether they are still alive!]

[I-]

Ayun finally burst into tears:

[I know—it will be my turn soon, right?]

The author has something to say: I believe everyone has seen it, the original inspiration of the village is the legendary Fengmen Village XD
