There are far more scarlet silks and scarlet lanterns in the village than Wei Dong imagined. Along the way, he found that every tree was almost covered with bright red lanterns, bright and colorful, giving off an auspicious and festive atmosphere.

I don't know which family got married, the ceremony was too grand.

As he thought about it, he took a closer look. The lantern hanging on the tree branch was as bright as fire, with exquisite workmanship everywhere, with hollow patterns carved on the surface, and big red tassels at the bottom swaying in the wind.

The more Wei Dong looked at it, the more he liked it. He had never seen such a delicate and beautiful lantern, and couldn't help reaching out to touch it.

Before his fingers touched the lantern, someone rushed over behind him and pulled him away violently.

"Don't touch it!" The man looked flustered, and there was still a faint fear, and scolded: "You baby, don't die. Didn't your adults remind you that you can't touch this lantern?"

After he finished speaking, he saw Wei Dong clearly, and the expression on his face softened slightly: "Dongdong, it's you, you're back."

Wei Dong was stunned for a moment, and said, "Well, I arrived last night. Uncle Yang, what did you mean by that just now? What happened to this lantern? Why can't you touch it?"

Uncle Yang is more than 40 years old, with dark skin, and he is carrying a hoe in his hand, and he should be preparing to go to the field.

He didn't answer Wei Dong in a hurry, but first dragged him away from the lantern with embarrassment, his eyes were full of fear.

"You didn't know it when you came back. The lanterns were locked. Overnight, just overnight, these lanterns suddenly appeared out of nowhere. We thought it was some prank, so we took down the lanterns, but the next day, they were hanging again. Come on. Look at these lanterns, is there something wrong with the redness? Everyone says that these are blood-soaked ghost lanterns, and living people should not touch them, otherwise it will cause bad luck."

His voice was very low, and his words were gloomy and scary.

Wei Dong smiled, but he didn't believe this set of rhetoric, what kind of ghost lantern, he was more willing to believe that someone was playing a prank.

"Grandma said there was going to be a wedding in the village, so I thought these red silks and lanterns were hung at the couple's home."

Uncle Yang was stunned for a moment: "About getting married? I haven't heard of anyone getting married." Without thinking too much, he patted Wei Dong on the shoulder: "In short, if you see this lantern from now on, you should stay away from it. wrong."

Wei Dong nodded, believe it or not, but he didn't insist on singing the opposite tune, but he was a little confused, who hung up these red silk and lanterns?Who is the newcomer who will hold the wedding ceremony?

He always felt that something was wrong.

The two chatted casually while walking, Wei Dong was about to go to the back mountain for a walk, and Uncle Yang was also going to work in the field, so it happened to be on the way.

"It has been difficult for your grandma for so many years. Now that you have grown up, after you finish college and find a job, your grandma can enjoy the happiness." Uncle Yang said with emotion.

These elders have watched Wei Dong grow up since childhood.

Wei Dong nodded: "Don't worry, I know, grandma is my only relative."

As they talked, they got farther and farther away from the village.

Wei Dong turned his head around, surrounded by golden rice fields stretching far away.

The sky was gloomy, as if shrouded in fog, and the village was also looming, making the bright red lanterns even more abrupt and paradoxical.

Uncle Yang's land was on the west side, and the two separated at the fork in the road, while Wei Dong walked straight to the back mountain.

It is said to be a mountain, but it is actually more like a mountain bag. It only takes more than ten minutes to climb to the top of the mountain by walking a path.

Standing on the top of the mountain, you can have a panoramic view of the entire Xiaoli Village.When he was a child, Wei Dong often came here to play with his friends in the village. At that time, he felt that the mountain was very high. Now when he comes again, the feeling is different.

But after four o'clock in the afternoon, the sky was overcast like seven or eight o'clock, surrounded by a layer of white mist, and things in the distance were ugly and real.

The wind came from all directions, and the air was damp and cold, and the place was gloomy.

Wei Dong touched his arm, and on a September day, he felt goose bumps all over his body for no reason.He walked along the path overgrown with weeds, and the scenery in front of him was familiar, but upon closer inspection, there were many changes.

As he was walking, he suddenly caught a glimpse of a girl in a white dress standing under a thick old tree in front of him.

The girl was about seventeen or eighteen years old, standing on a stool, standing on tiptoe, trying to get her neck into the hanging rope.

This is clearly about to hang himself!

Wei Dong was startled, not daring to delay, he rushed over at the speed of a [-]-meter sprint, and quickly hugged the girl down from above.

After the girl was rescued, she stared at Wei Dong with wide eyes and shocked face, unable to react for a long while.

"You, how could you..."

Before she could finish her sentence, Wei Dong abruptly interrupted her: "What are you doing? Is there something you can't think of that you have to come to seek death? Let me tell you, it's very ugly after being hanged. Not only does your face turn purple and black, Eyes protruding, tongue falling out, incontinence..."

The girl glared at Wei Dong angrily: "Are you looking down on the hanged ghost?"

"Is this the point?" Wei Dong didn't expect her to be so clear-headed: "The point is, have you ever thought about how sad your parents and relatives will be when you die? They worked hard to raise you, and you just repay them like this? You let How will they live in the future?"

His tone was harsh, and the girl was frightened at once.

She was sitting on the ground in a trance, with short hair against her round face, freckles on her cheeks, extremely white skin with no trace of blood, and obvious strangle marks on her neck, she looked very thin and weak.

As if recalled by Wei Dong's words, the girl pursed her lips, hugged her knees and burst into tears with a "wow".

She cried sadly, but she didn't shed a single tear, only pale and hopeless wails remained.

Seeing a girl cry so sadly, Wei Dong couldn't bear it, and comforted him softly: "Okay, it's fine if you know you're wrong, and don't do stupid things in the future. If there is no turning back, something will happen. I regret it." It's too late. People live a long life, and if there is anything to discuss with the family, there is no hurdle that can't be overcome."

The girl lowered her head and didn't say a word for a long time.

After calming down, she told Wei Dong that her name was Lin Ai. This year, she came here to hang herself because she failed to get into the ideal university, and she couldn't think about it for a while.

"Just for this?" Wei Dong said with a puzzled look on his face, "According to your logic, I have to die too."

Lin Ai: "?"

"You didn't perform well in the college entrance examination. I performed supernormally in the college entrance examination, but my luck was not good. Do you know Liangcheng University? According to my usual grades, I couldn't pass the exam at all. In the end, I finally passed the exam. They are all pre-recorded, so I can only be transferred to religious studies. I am an atheist, and I went to study religious studies, did I say anything? Life is like this, you never know what will happen in the next second.”

Wei Dong finished feeling, and asked casually: "By the way, how much score did you get in the college entrance examination?"

Lin Ai: "685. Only a few points away, I can go to Tsinghua University."

Wei Dong's eyes were strange: "Your goal is Tsinghua University?"

"Well, my grades are usually stable. What about you? How many points did you get?"

Wei Dong, who barely reached a line and was admitted to Liangcheng University by luck: "Excuse me."

Is the world of Xueba so scary?

He was overwhelmed by this Versailles speech.

Lin Ai didn't notice his expression, and said dejectedly: "I can't do anything except study. Before the college entrance examination, everyone thought that I must be fine. I... I am sorry for my parents and teachers. I don't know what to do Face them."

Wei Dong felt all sorts of feelings in his heart, and he didn't know how to persuade her: "It's okay, with your current grades, you can go to a very good university."

Lin Ai didn't speak, she stood up with a bitter expression, staring fixedly into the distance.

"Wei Dong, thank you." After a while, she turned around and said.

Wei Dong shook his head: "It's okay, but you must never do stupid things again in the future."

"It's late, it's too late." Lin Ai turned pale, and shook his head with a smile: "But thank you, if it wasn't for you, I would still be trapped. Wei Dong, you are a good person."

Wei Dong didn't understand, why did he initiate a good person card?Also, what do you mean by too late?

Just as he was thinking, his hand was suddenly grabbed by Lin Ai.Her hands were cold, without any temperature, as if they had been frozen in an ice cellar.

"What about your hand..."

"It's not important." Lin Ai interrupted him nervously.Her nerves were tense, and while she looked around in fear, she said nervously, "Wei Dong, you shouldn't come back. He won't let you go. This whole village is a cage he specially set up for you. Once you enter, you will be killed." I can't go out again. No hunter will easily let go of the prey he has admired for many years, and he is bound to you."

Wei Dong was at a loss when he heard it: "What are you talking about? I can't understand a word. What kind of hunter, prey, who are you talking about?"

"He..." Mentioning that person, Lin Ai was terrified to the core, trembling uncontrollably, and his tone suddenly sharp: "He can dominate everything, no one can escape, no one can resist. If he is caught If you stay here, no one can save you!"

After finishing speaking, she didn't give Wei Dong a chance to react, and pulled him forward quickly: "You helped me, and I have to help you too. Let's go now, I'll take you out of here—"

Wei Dong was full of question marks in his head, and was dragged by her to run wildly all the way.He wanted to stop, but found that Lin Ai was so strong that he couldn't resist at all.

"Boom!" Before Lin Ai could finish his sentence, he was suddenly knocked several meters away and fell to the ground hard.

Wei Dong opened his eyes wide, watching this unimaginable scene in astonishment.

There was nothing in front of them, so what knocked Lin Ai into the air?

"Lin Ai?" Wei Dong turned around, and found that Lin Ai was staring at him with eyes full of fear, trembling all over, as if seeing something extremely terrifying.

What is Lin Ai afraid of?

Wei Dong looked around, but couldn't see anything.

With doubts, he was about to ask Lin Ai what was going on, but found that the surroundings were empty, and there was no sign of Lin Ai.

Such a big living person, why did he disappear out of thin air?

Wei Dong frowned, looked carefully at the top of the mountain, and began to wonder if he was hallucinating.

It was at this moment that he suddenly noticed something approaching quietly.

This feeling is very strange, he obviously can't see anything, but he can feel the existence of the other party.

Wei Dong's nerves were tense, he held his breath, and quietly clenched his fists.

He felt that the other party was getting closer, and immediately heard a low laugh, as if ringing in his ears.

Wei Dong's scalp exploded in an instant, he clenched his fist and threw it forward without thinking.

This punch pierced through the air and failed to hit any entity, instead causing Wei Dong to fall to the ground suddenly due to inertia.

He turned pale with shock, and was ready for a solid fall, the kind that hit the ground on his face, but in the next moment, his whole body fell into a slightly cold embrace.

He was embraced firmly by nothingness.
