It is strictly forbidden to pay for the ticket after getting on the bus

Bai Luochuan resisted the urge to feel nauseous, and turned his head away from looking at 'her'.

It can be seen from the clothes of this corpse that she is the woman who scratched the back of the hand in the carriage yesterday morning.

Why can it only be seen from the clothes?

Because her whole body, including her head, seemed as if it had been splashed with sulfuric acid, it was completely falling apart, and it felt like pieces of flesh would fall off when touched.

But what was strange was that the body was tortured to shreds, but the clothes were intact, not even a trace of damage could be seen.

It doesn't look like a human being.

"Wang, sister Wang..."

Liu Sisi was so frightened that her complexion was pale and she was trembling all over, while another girl, Zhao Rong, had already run to the side to support the tree and vomited.

"...It's all our fault. If we had held her back then..."

Bai Jue looked at the borderline of the village entrance where the corpse was, then at the thick fog, and at Si Qi and the others' unsurprised expressions, his heart sank.

Sure enough, I couldn't get out.

Is this a warning to them?

Killing chickens to warn monkeys?

The price is too tragic.

"Let's go, let's go shopping," Bai Jue turned around and walked into the town with a sullen face. No one would feel comfortable facing such a cruel scene. "See what's weird about this place."

"We..." Liu Sisi raised her frightened eyes, "Are we going to ignore Sister Wang?"

Si Qi sneered and said, "What do you want to do? Take her body and leave? Others thought you threw her into a meat grinder."

Liu Sisi caught a glimpse of the shattered corpse from the corner of her eye, her face turned pale again, and she didn't say anything.

Bai Jue estimated the time, according to the normal calculation in the present world, it is almost ten o'clock in the morning, Liu Sisi and Zhao Rong were overly frightened, and decided to go back to their inn to rest for a while, while Bai Jue and the others walked along the streets of the ancient town go inside.

Bai Luochuan always felt that this ancient town was a bit weird. It looked completely devoid of traces of life, exuding a gloomy atmosphere, but upon closer inspection, it was very clean, and it had been meticulously decorated inside and out.

The red paper window grilles are all intact and brightly colored, and even the ink on the couplets hanging in every household looks fresh, as if it has just been pasted, not like it has been around for a long time.

But no one.

Even when they went downstairs in the morning, they didn't see the old man from last night.

It seems to have disappeared out of thin air.

Bai Jue thought, could it be that he can't come out during the day?

"Hey, there are candied haws in front," Si Qi said in surprise, "I haven't eaten such a thing for many years."

In front of a small shop leaned against a long wooden stick two fingers thick, with a bunch of dry straw on it, and a bunch of round candied haws stuck in it. The dark red fruit was very attractive.

It's not just this one, Bai Jue looked around and found that quite a lot of shops are actually open, displaying some things they can understand and things they can't understand, a wide variety of things, most of them are handicrafts, well-made.

"The details of this ancient town are good. If it is turned into a tourist attraction, I'm afraid it can make a lot of money." Si Qi rubbed her chin thoughtfully, "...Why don't we go and taste a bunch of candied haws! "

Bai Jue is very direct: "Go by yourself, I don't want it."

"Look at this sugar gourd, its red ball looks more and more like the eyes of the monster on the train last night, it really looks more and more like it..." Lin Jiu said seriously.

"Damn!" Si Qi was very depressed, and the plan to eat candied haws vanished in an instant, "Ermu, you are such a person...you are so disgusting, how can I eat it? Forget it."

"What Ermu?" Lin Jiu looked puzzled.

"Lin is just two pieces of wood," Si Qi said, "otherwise I'd call you [-], they're all numbers, they're pretty good."

Lin Jiu was silent for a moment, then muttered softly: "...then you are still Siqi."

"What did you say!" Si Qi was furious, "Didn't you just have wings, did you forget that you cried and called me daddy last night?"

Lin Jiu frowned: "I never called!"

"All right, all right," Bai Luochuan changed the subject lazily, "I seemed to see someone passing over there just now."

"Well, I saw it too." Bai Jue said, "It's the person on the train before, go and have a look."

It was late last night, and they didn't see it clearly. It turned out that the exit was directly opposite. After walking for a long way, there was a corner, and after turning in, there was another street.

The structure and buildings of this street are actually similar to the one just now, but Bai Jue always feels that something is different, but he can't tell where it is.

"There's someone over there!" Lin Jiu whispered.

It was an old hand on the train before, coming out of a shop, he didn't seem to notice them, and walked straight to the front of the street.

Bai Jue said, "Let's follow and have a look."

After walking for a while, "Is that a stable?" Bai Luochuan asked in surprise.

They followed the man to a relatively remote corner.

Bai Luochuan used to go to the horse farm when he was practicing riding skills, and the stables here are different from those in the horse farm.

A little cruder.

But that horse is really good, I can't tell the breed, but it looks strong and powerful, with a shiny coat.

Very lazily, with legs bent and crooked on the ground, the ponytail is very thick, about one meter long, sweeping around the ground, quite leisurely.

Adding the person just now beside him, it happens to be four people.

Four veterans.

There is nothing to hide, Bai Jue gradually understands the rules here, before they know what form the tickets come out in, they are all grasshoppers on the same rope.

The four of them saw them too, and they reacted calmly.

It's not like the veterans with bad attitudes on the train who just nodded at them.

It's just that when his eyes turned to Si Qi, there was something unclear, as if he was surprised that such a weak-looking little girl mixed with the three of them.

"Is this horse alive?" Bai Jue asked.

An old hand said: "It looks alive, but who can see the things in this place accurately."

It's pretty much what he said.

Bai Jue nodded approvingly, and kept a certain distance to look at the horse carefully, his eyes were closed all the time, and he spewed a little hot air from his nose from time to time.

The body didn't move.

At this time, a voice came from behind them, it was the other three veterans who lived in the same inn as Bai Jue and the others last night, came over.

They all know each other, and the leader seems to be called Zhang Feng, who slept alone in a room last night.

In the dead and corrupt ancient town, the existence of a fresh and healthy horse is undoubtedly a big clue.

Zhang Feng was tall and strong, wearing only a thin coat in such a cold weather, he seemed to be able to knock down three Lin Jiu at once.

He observed the horse sharply and found something unusual, so he got closer and squatted down to watch it carefully.

"This rein seems wrong..." Zhang Feng pondered for a moment, then said, "It doesn't look like the rein commonly used in the racecourse outside, but it seems to be directly tied to it with a hemp rope."

"Ah... I thought all horses used to have ropes like this." Si Qi said softly.

Lin Jiu said, "No, the rope seems to be tied to it."

It was already noon at this time, and suddenly a crisp bell sound came from the cold and lonely ancient town, and it stopped after only one ringing.

Bai Luochuan noticed that when the bell rang, the horse's front hooves moved.

He felt a little uneasy, and said, "Let's go to other places first, and you won't be able to see why."

Bai Jue nodded, and the other two groups were also preparing to leave.

Just when Zhang Feng was about to stand up, the horse's tail suddenly raised rapidly, and then slammed down hard on the ground.

dusty.

And the eyes that have been closed all this time have also opened.

It happened so fast that everyone hadn't reacted yet.

The horse lying on the ground jumped up like crazy, let out a high-pitched neigh, its body was thrown back, its two powerful front hooves were raised high, and then fell heavily.

It landed on the chests of the two closest people——Zhang Feng and Roger of the veteran four.

There was a muffled sound of flesh colliding with a hard object.

A pair of dark, unlit eyes stared at them.

Those eyes were like a winter night, lifeless.

Everyone felt horrified - maybe this horse wasn't alive.

At such a dangerous moment, Bai Jue thought a little ahead of time—they probably had broken ribs, and wondered if there would be some modern medical team after returning to the train.

After all, food appears on its own.

The two teammates of the two reacted the fastest, and quickly dragged Zhang Feng and Luo Jie, who had been kicked to the ground, a few meters away.

Fortunately, the horse went mad only for a moment, and it seemed that it had no intention of killing them. After kicking twice, it stood still and turned around.

A group of people hurried out.

Zhang Feng and Luo Jie sat on the ground gasping for breath, with lingering fears in their hearts. Luo Jie touched his chest, moaned in a low voice twice, and cursed: "Fuck, it's broken."

But Zhang Feng on the other side was much luckier. Perhaps because he reacted quickly at that time and turned his body a little bit, he didn't have a broken bone, it was just bruised.

Lin Jiu asked: "Then what should I do if I have a broken bone? There is no doctor here. Isn't it troublesome to have a broken rib?"

Roger's face was a little gloomy, and he said through gritted teeth: "I can cure it when I find the ticket."

Bai Jue was thoughtful after hearing this, and Bai Luochuan didn't intend to explain to him, and saw the marks of being kicked just now on the chests and clothes of Zhang Feng and Luo Jie.

A gray horseshoe print.

It's pretty clear.

Like a stamp just stamped.

It seems to be showing their identities.

After the three teams separated in front of the stables, Bai Jue and the others walked back to the street just now, he glanced back, suddenly a flash of lightning flashed in his mind, and he stopped in his tracks.

"What's wrong?" Bai Luochuan was the first to notice him.

"Look over there," Bai Jue pointed, "you can see the forest."

Bai Luochuan looked along, and it was indeed a lush forest. It should be a small hillside from the street, a forest in the mountains.

It grows quite well, and many plants withered in winter, and although I only saw a corner of the hillside from here, I felt that the vegetation was flourishing.

Although such a natural scenery is really impossible to make people pay special attention to it, the end of this street is covered by thick fog just like the exit.

And the street when they came, there was nothing to see except the sky.

So it makes the forest that can be seen from a distance look a bit abrupt.

And this kind of abruptness is hardly noticeable in the human subconscious.

"It's strange..." Si Qi said, "The fog didn't cover it? So that forest is also the scope of this platform game? It's too wide."

"Don't look at it for the time being," Bai Luochuan said lightly, a gleam of light flashed in his eyes, "Mountains and forests are the easiest place for monsters to be born..."
