beloved does not come back

The six people sat back in the car again, no one spoke, only Xiao Qiu sobbed intermittently.

"Oh, girl..." He Sheng scratched his hair: "I was just mean, I won't really do anything to you."

Xiao Qiu didn't even look at him.

"Let's go to the village first," Yu Lang said, "I have some things to buy, and I'll come back at night."

Although Matou Town has a town in its name, it is actually a village.And it looks like a poor village.Standing at the entrance of the village, there are few two-story buildings at a glance, and the walls are all tattered.

"In such a small village, if a stranger comes suddenly, someone should notice." Yu Lang got off the car: "Go in and ask."

As soon as you enter the village, there is a small supermarket.

The supermarket was so small that six people couldn't stand in it, so Yu Langjiang Tianxiao Yang Ji picked up some food in the supermarket - most of them were counterfeit products - and went to check out.In front of the cash register sat a young girl with a flushed face, a ponytail, and bright red lips.The girl looked them back and forth, frowning.

"Sister," Yu Lang suddenly changed into a northwest accent, which startled Jiang Tianxiao: "Can I ask you something?"

"What's the matter?" the girl stared at Yu Lang vigilantly: "Who are you?"

"We're here to find someone," Yu Lang said without detour, "a woman, 1.7 meters tall, very thin, with long hair, came here about ten days ago—have you seen this person?"

The girl stood up abruptly, her face obviously changed.

"Girl, don't be afraid," Yu Lang said softly, "We are good people—Yang Ji, go and call Xiao Qiu in."

Soon Xiaoqiu walked into the supermarket.

Jiang Tianxiao didn't know what Yang Ji told Xiao Qiu, she cried again as soon as she entered the supermarket, two lines of tears flowed down from her red and swollen eyes: "You... have you seen my sister?"

The little girl at the cash register was also anxious: "Hey, what's wrong with you... Is that person your sister?"

"Well," Xiaoqiu wiped away his tears: "My sister had a quarrel with the family and left... I've been looking for her for a long time, you, have you seen her?"

"Someone like this came here..." The little girl looked at Xiao Qiu with a strange expression on her face: "...a woman came here."

Seeing her faltering, Jiang Tianxiao couldn't help asking, "Did she do something?"

"Your sister, is... sick," the little girl asked Xiaoqiu, "She..."

Xiao Qiu covered his mouth and nodded: "She is indeed not normal. She was hit by a car before."

"Hey, what happened..." The little girl sighed, "Then how could you let her escape?"

"What happened to her?" Yu Lang asked.

"She came here on the 14th. I remember it clearly. I went to the county to buy goods that day, and when I came back, I saw her standing at the door of my house." The little girl recalled the scene at that time: "I asked her what she was doing, and she Don’t do anything, just wander around—you think it’s weird? Who comes to our place when they have nothing to do.”

Yu Lang: "And then?"

"Then she bought a pack of instant noodles from me, and went to the village. There is no other way in our village, and I have to pass by me if I want to get out. I watched at the door all day, but I didn't see her come out. I asked for it until the evening. The door is closed, I am a little worried, our village was just attacked by thieves some time ago... I asked my husband and some men to go to the village to have a look."

"In the end, just..." The little girl stumbled: "There she is...sitting motionless."

"Huh? Where?" Yu Lang asked.

"In old Chen's house," the little girl lowered her voice, her expression unnatural, "there used to be an old man living in that house, surnamed Chen. His son lived in the city, and no one cared about him... The old man died in the house last year. Hanged."

The four looked at each other.

"The old man broke his leg before he died, and he couldn't even get up. I heard that his body was full of sores... I don't know how he got up and hanged himself. The old man in our village said that the old man was a hooligan when he was young. retribution……"

"Sister," Yang Ji interrupted her: "Then what then? You saw that woman sitting in Lao Chen's house, then what?"

"Then my husband told her to leave. My husband said that she was looking at her like that. If they weren't for a few men, they would be quite scary... Then she left. It was around eight o'clock in the evening , and there is no car, it is several miles from our village to the county seat... I don’t know how she got there.”

"...OK," Yu Lang nodded, "Thank you." He smiled softly, and Jiang Tianxiao saw that the little girl's face turned redder.

After leaving the supermarket, Yu Lang asked Chi Yang, "Does Zhou Ke suffer from any mental illness?"

Chi Yang shook his head.

"Are you sure?" Yang Ji's tone was a little embarrassed: "This, what's going on..."

"Then do you know an old man surnamed Chen?" Yu Lang vetoed himself after finishing speaking: "Forget it, how do you know people here."

"I don't know," Chi Yang looked at Yu Lang suspiciously: "Zhou Ke has never been to these places before, he is from Guizhou."

Yu Lang lit a cigarette and said: "The owner of the supermarket met Zhou Ke and said that she came on the 14th and sat in an empty house in the village for a long time before leaving. A woman committed suicide in that house." Old man, surnamed Chen."

Chi Yang was stunned, shaking his head: "Why...why?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the heavy windshield curtain hanging on the supermarket door was lifted, and it was the little girl who came out: "You..." She looked at Yu Lang and then at Xiao Qiu: "I advise you, don't go That house is gone, she's gone anyway, you can look elsewhere..."

"Why can't you go?" Yu Lang asked unhurriedly.

"Then... that house is haunted. Hey, I don't know too well, anyway, anyway, don't go there!"

One o'clock.

He Sheng parked the car outside the village, and the six of them got out of the car and entered the village in the darkness.

The cold winter wind blows the night sky clean. The sky is a clear dark blue. When you look up, you can see the sky full of stars.Especially in this village, at this time everything is completely silent and there is no light to be seen, only the stars in the sky emit a faint silver light.

At noon, Yu Lang listened to the little girl's words, and drove away obediently with everyone.On the way, Yu Lang said that there was obviously something tricky in the uninhabited house. It is estimated that everyone in this village knew about it, but they kept it secret from the outside world.If so, come back tonight.

They wanted to send Xiaoqiu to the county seat and ask her to stay in a room, so they didn't come with her.But after Xiaoqiu was frightened by He Sheng once on the bank of the Yellow River, he calmed down a lot and must follow.

So it was still six people who sneaked into the village.

Jiang Tianxiao remembered that the last time he did this was in Liuzhou, he was trembling at that time, and was scared to death by Yu Lang's words "a few shadows on the ground".

Later, I gradually discovered that his Teacher Yu was just a little sluggish, deliberately teasing him.

With a heartbeat, Jiang Tianxiao secretly grabbed Yu Lang's hand.

They only confirmed their relationship yesterday, and today, apart from yelling at He Sheng in the morning, they had no chance to contact him again.Now he can't see his fingers, let alone holding hands, no one will see him even kissing Yu Lang.

Yu Lang's hand shook very slightly, and two seconds later, he held Jiang Tianxiao back.

Jiang Tianxiao was agitated for a while, and couldn't help raising Yu Lang's hand, and imprinted the back of his hand on his lips.A silent kiss.

Yu Lang's hands are so cold.

Yu Lang coughed and quickly put his hand down.

Jiang Tianxiao thought Yu Lang was shy?Thinking about it, I can't help but feel distracted - shake your head quickly, Jiang Tianxiao, what are you thinking, should you be thinking about these things now!

The six of them almost tiptoed through the village to the southernmost point.

Bypassing a small dirt bag, Yu Lang turned on the flashlight, roughly illuminating the outline of the house in front of him.

"The location of this house..." He Sheng said softly, "It's strange, why is it built behind the soil bag, won't it block the sun?"

When he said this, everyone also realized that almost all the houses in the northern rural areas face south, but this house was built on the north side of the earth bag, and the sunlight from the south was just blocked by the earth bag.

Yu Lang's flashlight was still on, and Jiang Tianxiao followed the beam of light to look at the old house. It was really dilapidated, a brick house, an iron door was half open, and a piece of glass was missing on the window directly opposite. Weeds grew in front of the door.

"Why did Xiao Ke come here..." Chi Yang said to himself.

"Go in and have a look," Yu Lang said, "Jiang Tianxiao and I will go in, and He Sheng will protect everyone outside—don't be nervous, it's just an old house."

After Yu Lang finished speaking, he walked forward first.

Jiang Tianxiao quickly followed.

In the past, Jiang Tianxiao must have been trembling with fright, but not now, because with Yu Lang around, he knows that Yu Lang can always solve all troubles calmly, and even, for possible dangers, Yu Lang is prepared in his heart.

The two came to the iron gate.

There was no sound at all in the house—otherwise, what could there be in a dilapidated house that had been left uninhabited for a long time?

Yu Lang stretched out his hand to push open the iron door, and the iron door made two "creaking" sounds, apparently rusted.

Jiang Tianxiao also turned on the flashlight, and followed Yu Lang into the room on the right.

It was a fairly spacious room, with a wooden table in the corner and a bare iron bed opposite the wooden table.And then nothing else.

Yu Lang walked around the room and walked into another room.

This room looked like a kitchen, and there was a jar standing under the stove, but a corner of the jar was broken.

Walk out of the kitchen to the yard behind the house.

Maybe it was because of the dust in the northwest, the courtyard was covered with fine sand and stones, Jiang Tianxiao still followed Yu Lang, walked around the courtyard, but didn't see anything unusual.

Then why did Zhou Ke come to this deserted house?

"Turn off the light," Yu Lang whispered, "Don't be seen by other villagers."

"Oh, good," Jiang Tianxiao turned off the flashlight and asked Yu Lang, "Is there anything wrong with this house?"

"No..." Yu Lang's voice was very soft: "Come with me."

Jiang Tianxiao followed Yu Lang into the first room with a bed and a table.

Yu Lang stood in the middle of the room.

"What's wrong with this house, Teacher Yu?"

Yu Lang didn't answer.

Jiang Tianxiao: "Teacher Yu?"

Yu Lang still didn't speak.

Jiang Tianxiao felt strange, and raised his voice a little: "Teacher Yu, what are you doing——uh!!!"

A pair of hands suddenly appeared from the darkness behind, tightly covering Jiang Tianxiao's mouth!
