The hotel on the mountain is very quiet, as if left alone.

Song Xi chatted with two friends in the living room for a while, and returned to the room after receiving the laundry from the hotel.

A black shadow was reflected on the carpet, and he stood fixedly at the door, having the illusion that he was looking at each other.Sighing lightly, Song Xi talked to it and said to it: "It's getting late, I want to sleep, if possible, I hope you can be more honest."

The shadow naturally wouldn't respond, Song Xi had no choice but to pretend it didn't exist, lifted the quilt and got in.

His nerves were tense for several days in a row, and the little sleep in the afternoon alone could not completely relieve him.Before long, the person fell asleep.

Outside the door, Chaoyang walked over lightly, he pushed open a crack in the door, looked in quietly, and heard a slight snoring sound.

He turned his head and said "sleep" silently to Xing Xiao, and was about to close the door and leave when he caught a glimpse of a black shadow standing on the bedside out of the corner of his eye.

His heart skipped a beat, Chaoyang turned his head abruptly, and after a closer look, it turned out to be the shadow of a tree cast from the window.

There are no clouds in the sky tonight, and the moonlight is very bright, making the thick shadows mottled and covering the young man softly.Chaoyang walked in lightly, drew the curtains for Song Xi, and the room was instantly plunged into darkness.

Back in the living room, he sat down on the sofa, his brows were full of sadness, "What do you think happened to Song Xi?"

Xing Xiao took a sip of tea and put down his cup, "It's indeed a bit strange, mysterious."

Chaoyang: "When I was in the entrance, I heard him talking with my own ears, but there was no one outside."

"Maybe he's just talking to himself." Xing Xiao stretched his arm over and patted Fa Xiao's shoulder, "It'll be fine."

Chaoyang shook his hand worriedly and nodded.

Song Xi was immersed in sleep, ignorant of the outside world, only felt that his body seemed to be restrained, and his limbs were forced to stick to his side stiffly, unable to move.

This feeling accompanied him until he woke up in the middle of the night, and the moment he opened his eyes, his limbs could move again.

Song Xi suspected that he might be trapped by a nightmare, rubbed his face, got out of bed, and went to the bathroom to use the toilet.When he pulled up his pants and washed his hands, he looked at himself in the glasses.

There was a red mark on the neck, as if someone had pressed it out with the palm of his hand.He rubbed it a few times with his hands, and the marks faded away, and quickly disappeared.

He returned to bed full of doubts.Probably because he got up and walked around, he was mostly awake, and he closed his eyes and lay down, but he still couldn't fall asleep.He counted the sheep in his heart, and when he was approaching a thousand, he suddenly felt the quilt covering his shoulders lifted.

Song Xi didn't open his eyes, and continued to maintain a sleeping posture.

The quilt was lifted more and more, and soon his shoulders were exposed.The temperature on the top of the mountain was low, and the slightly cool air unscrupulously touched his open shoulders, which immediately aroused goose bumps.

Song Xi couldn't pretend any more, and while he got up quickly, he turned on the wall lamp.

There is a black shadow belonging to an adult male lying on the quilt.

Song Xi was so frightened that he almost yelled out, and suddenly remembered what it was, and his heart fell back.He covered his eyes with his hands and said tiredly, "What do you want to do?"

The shadow moved and merged with the youth's shadow on the quilt.

The other party looked like a dead pig not afraid of boiling water, which made Song Xi completely awake. He took a deep breath, raised the quilt again, wrapped himself up, and lay down.

The shadow silently walked along the gap in the quilt, and slipped into the warm quilt against the young man's back.

Song Xi: "..." He gritted his teeth and said, "Can you go out?"

The attributes of the shadow are unknown, who knows what monster changed.As long as he thinks that the other party is covering the same quilt with him, Song Xi's heart will feel cold, and the blood in his whole body will almost freeze.

As if wanting to reduce his sense of existence, the shadow shrunk down to the size of an eleven or twelve-year-old child.It turned over the young man's waist, fell into his arms, and curled up into a ball.

Song Xi was surprised to find that this thing was soft and warm to the touch, a bit like a human-shaped pillow.

I couldn't help pinching it with my hand, and sighed in my heart, this is really in line with the attributes of the shadow, it can be big or small, you can change it as you want.

Chase and can't drive away, let's scold, the shadow may not understand.

Song Xi turned off the light aggrievedly and forced himself to close his eyes.

The shadow exuded bursts of warmth, as if hugging Jiang Su, giving people the illusion that he was still lying in that damp and dark room in Linnan Town, brazenly absorbing warmth from the child.

The warmth makes people gradually relax their guard, and the hypnotic effect is excellent.

Song Xi never woke up in the second half of the night, and slept until ten o'clock the next morning.If Chaoyang hadn't knocked on the door, he would still be able to continue sleeping.

After washing up, the three checked out and drove to the water town.

At first they took the highway, which was lined with beautiful green belts.About two and a half hours later, the car got off the expressway and got on the provincial road.

The road on the provincial road is fairly flat, with occasional trucks passing by.

Song Xi glanced to the side, and the shadow immediately approached and covered his legs.He shook his head and turned to look out the window.

There are many willow trees planted on both sides of the road, and the breeze blows by, and the branches flutter like silk ribbons.It didn't take long to see such a scene, the road under the wheels became uneven, the car body shook slightly, and occasionally bumped.

"Why did you walk well? It turned into a dirt road." Chaoyang sat in the co-pilot and re-entered the destination on the navigation.

Navigate to the loading interface, and after a few seconds, the road is re-planned.Song Xi supported the seat and looked over, and found that the road planned for the second time was the same as before.

Chaoyang wondered: "Are you going the wrong way, but I remember that the news didn't say that all township roads across the country were repaired last year?"

Xing Xiao paid attention to the road conditions ahead, distractedly said, "It's just face-saving news."

The car staggered and drove forward for a while, paying attention to Song Xi who was outside the window and suddenly sat upright.Song Xi still had an impression of the tree he passed by just now. It was the big locust tree he saw first when he opened his eyes from the minibus.

The big locust tree has a characteristic, there is a big depression on the trunk, and there are big protruding tumors around it, which is strange and deformed.

"It should be here soon." Song Xi said unconsciously.

Xing Xiao glanced in the rearview mirror, the young man looked solemn, his lips were tightly pressed, and his eyes were staring out of the window without blinking.He turned his eyes to the mirror outside the car, the road retreated rapidly, and the scenery on the side of the road flashed by.

"Song Xi." Xing Xiao suddenly called him, "What are you looking at?"

Song Xi blinked and came back to his senses, "It's nothing." Xing Xiao's eyes were full of probing, and to reassure Fa Xiao, he pulled the corners of his mouth and smiled.

Xing Xiao tightened his grip on the steering wheel and said nothing.

Today's water town is not much more lively than Linnan Town in the world of horror. The streets are sparsely populated, which is completely different from those places that are full of commercial atmosphere under the banner of ancient towns.

In the unified tourist parking lot, only a dozen or so cars were parked sporadically.After the two Faxiao carried their bags and got off the car, Song Xi stood at the entrance of the town and waved to them: "This way."

There is a small information center at the entrance. Song Xi bought three passes from the staff and asked for a map of the tourist area.

All the sightseeing spots are marked on the map, such as Han’s Courtyard, Bai’s Painting Museum, Folklore Museum, Famous Places Experience Hall, Ancestral Hall...every place is still fresh in Song Xi’s memory.

"Let's go." After Chaoyang finished speaking, he handed Song Xi a peaked cap and a breathable mask, "Put them on, it's too hot."

Song Xi lowered the brim of his hat, put on his mask, and followed the directions of the map, pretending not to know the way.Except for those who are open for business in the small town, the courtyards of houses are basically closed with wooden doors, so there are not many places where you can really go shopping.

The Baijiahua and B&B halls are not open, and the notice given is that the halls are closed for maintenance, and only the ancestral halls and some traditional courtyards are open.

Song Xi took Fa Xiao directly to the ancestral hall. After years of baptism, the two wooden doors were extremely old, and some parts had decayed and fallen off.Inside was a middle-aged man with a gloomy complexion and fairly tidy attire.

"Is it a visit? Wash your hands first before going in." This request is very strange, as if seeing the doubts of the tourists, the man explained with a blank face, "The ancestral hall is a place where the ancestors sleep peacefully. Originally, you need to bathe and change clothes before entering."

The implication is that washing hands is a simplified procedure.

Xing Xiao thought it was troublesome and wanted to leave, but when he was about to speak, Song Xi rolled up his sleeves and put his hand into the basin with flowing water.

Chaoyang tugged his sleeve quietly, "If you don't want to go in, you can wait for us outside."

Xing Xiao's face darkened, "Forget it, let's go together."

Song Xi first walked around the ancestral hall, and he was very sure that this was another Lin Nanzhen ancestral hall. It would not be an exaggeration to say that it is a one-to-one replica.

The pace under his feet became urgent unconsciously, and Song Xi stepped into the room where the tablets of the ancestors were placed in a few steps.

There is no name on the tablet, and there are 22 yuan each in the vertical and horizontal directions, and a total of 484 yuan is calculated.Just as he was dazed, the shadow on the ground slowly stretched out, and when no one noticed, it knocked over the box placed under the bill.

There was no seal on the outside of the box, and the contents fell out instantly.

Two dark tablets.

Song Xi was stunned, and his first reaction was that this tablet belonged to Wu Chuan and Hu Hu.

The middle-aged man who heard the voice rushed out of the house, knelt down anxiously and stuffed the tablet into the cardboard box, his face was ugly, "Who's allowed you to move things!"

Song Xi glared at the shadow, and said innocently: "I have been standing here, if you don't believe me, you can check the surveillance."

The middle-aged man patted the non-existing dust on the memorial tablet, and said bluntly: "Leave quickly after the visit."

"I bought a ticket, and I can stay as long as I want." Song Xi pretended to be arrogant, stood there with his arms folded, and refused to leave.

The middle-aged man gritted his teeth resentfully, turned his back, gently put the tablet into the cardboard box, and bowed to the box a few more times.

"Brother." Song Xi walked behind him, "These two tablets were not placed in the ancestral hall."
