The heavy rain in the mountains finally stopped.
In the spring, the thick ice and snow accumulated on the mountain gradually melted under the sun's burning, turned into flowing water, and merged into the stream behind the village. The original thin stream turned into a torrential river. Jiang Ruonan, who stood by the river to fetch water, heard the sound of the car starting.
The village is in a remote place, and usually no outsiders can be seen for months. However, just this year, the village had a lot of strange things, and the village chief had no choice but to inform the outside and wanted to ask for help. A few days later, several people were sent from outside to investigate the situation in the village, but it did not seem to be going well.
Jiang Ruonan didn't care much about these things. He picked up the water and walked slowly down the muddy path to the house. When he passed the entrance of the village, he saw the group of foreigners.
When they came, it was still four. At this time, there were only two people left. At this time, one stood in front of the car and lifted the hood to study what it was, while the other stood in the cab and kept cursing. He saw Jiang Ruonan in the distance, but he seemed even more angry.
"I think there is a ghost in this village." The cursed man growled in his mouth regardless of the circumstances around him, "How could it be gone !!"
"Don't talk about it." The other person had a good temper and was trying to console his companion. "I'll take another look to see if I can think of other ways ..."
"Look at the car, look at the car, what's the use of looking at the car !!!" He said, "Who the tells you not to turn off the headlights, now it's okay, the battery is dead! How can I get there? Crawl back? "
"I said I turned off the headlights!" Another person was said to have been aggrieved, "The car turned on itself !!"
"I don't care who drives it. If you came to check before, could this happen?" The man said, smashing the steering wheel heavily.
Jiang Ruonan was a girl in the end, and when he saw the man with a violent mood, he was a little scared in his heart. Although he was carrying a heavy pole, he couldn't help but speed up the pace under his feet. Yu Guang of her noticed a tall but dead tree beside the two men. The tree had been standing at the entrance of the village for some years. There were dense crows on the treetops. The noisy birds did not utter a whisper, but just stood quietly on the branches, and their dark eyes stared at the arguing humans below.
Jiang Ruonan felt an unknown breath. At this time, the sky was gradually gloomy. It seemed that there was another heavy rain in the evening, and a thick thundercloud was brewing in the sky.
Jiang Ruonan thought, it seems that the village head was wrong this time. The old man in the village was right. The outsiders could not calm the anger of the mountain gods. The strange things in the village not only did not end after these people arrived, but became more and more intense Know, when is the head ...
Just when she was thinking so, a bright golden line flashed in the sky, and then, the thunder of the burst fell sharply beside her ears, as if the mountains collapsed, shaking the earth shaking. Jiang Ruonan was frightened by the sound and jumped a lot of water on his shoulders, followed by a thunderous sound of heavy objects falling on the ground. Jiang Ruonan turned his head and found that the dead tree standing at the entrance of the village had fallen down, and the car and the two people next to it were crushed underneath.
Jiang Ruonan's eyes widened, and he saw a bright red blood stain on the black mud, and the sky smashed a bean-like raindrop, rushing the blood stain into the land.

Song Qingluo didn't get the meal that Lin Banxia requested.
Lin Banxia was not surprised, but said that serious work is really hard to find, especially with high wages and good welfare, which is very few.
Song Qingluo, who was returned his resume more than twenty times, took this seriously.
After Liu Xi resigned, the unit quickly recruited Lin Banxia to a new partner named Zhou Jitong. He was also a newly graduated college student, and he seemed not very good at communicating with people. The first time he worked, he spit a scream like everyone else. Lin Banxia patted his shoulder comfortably and said that he would get used to it after seeing it a few more times.
There was a newcomer, Lin Banxia was going to take him for some time, but his annual leave was about to expire, so I thought about taking the leave and coming back to say, let this newcomer get used to the atmosphere with the other team first.
Lin Banxia completed the formalities and returned home, and began to happily discuss the travel plan with Song Qingluo. Song Qingluo was still hesitating whether to take Lin Banxia, ​​but Lin Banxia looked at Song Qingluo's hesitation and began to fight against him. The first sentence every day when he returned home was when did we leave.
Song Qingluo was annoyed, so he gave Lin Banxia an agreement, which stipulated very detailed terms, including wages, time, possible dangerous situations, matters needing attention, and confidential content. , Even including the beneficiaries of insurance.
Song Qingluo asked Lin Banxia to read the agreement before making the final decision.
Lin Banxiazai read it carefully and looked at the number behind the salary for a moment. Then he did not hesitate to sign his name and fingerprint on the agreement and asked Song Qingluo whether he needed an ID card or not. Photocopy.
Song Qingluo shook his head, looked at the agreement, and said, "Who did you fill in for the insurance beneficiary?"
"My sister." Lin Banxia said.
Song Qingluo glanced at Lin Banxia: "Sister?"
Lin Banxia said: "No, cousin."
Song Qingluo uttered, and did not continue to ask why.
Lin Banxia did n’t care. He said something about his family and said that his cousin was very nice. Unfortunately, his aunt ’s house was too patriarchal, so he did n’t live well. If he had an accident, he would be relieved. Not her.
Song Qingluo yelled away, put away the agreement, informed Lin Banxia three days later and left Lin Banxia to prepare the luggage.
Lin Banxia nodded happily. He didn't know where the destination was or what he needed to do, but he didn't care much about it.
Or in other words, he has nothing to care about.
Since that day, Li Su and them have spent the night together, and they have become regulars here, either come to deliver things, or come to rub the rice, and occasionally bring Li Ye.
Under the supervision of Li Su, Li Ye shaved his thick-faced beard, revealing a pure Western-style face, with sharp lines and sharp edges and matching his emerald green eyes, no matter where he went. , Can attract a lot of attention. It's a pity that he doesn't like to laugh very much, so it also looks like a bad relationship. Even so, there are still many girls coming to ask for contact information.
Song Qingluo was very upset with these two people who rubbed his rice, so he sent a hand. Fortunately, he and Lin Banxia were about to go far away, and they barely endured for a few days.
Ji Leshui didn't yet know what Lin Banxia was going to do with Song Qingluo. He just thought he was going on a tour and asked Lin Banxia to bring him some specialty gifts back.
"So are there special products there?" Lin Banxia asked Song Qingluo.
Song Qingluo said, "Yes."
Before Ji Leshui smiled, he heard Song Qingluo's sentence, and Song Qingluo said, "I'm afraid I'll bring it back. You dare not want it."
Ji Leshui: "... I don't want to do it anymore." He thought of Song Qingluo's large and small boxes and decided to give up.
Lin Banxia waved at him, and after going downstairs, he put his luggage on Song Qingluo's car and asked, "Where are we going?"
Song Qingluo said: "You don't even know where to go, just go with me? I'm not afraid I will sell you."
Lin Banxia: "Ha ha ha ha I'm worthless."
Song Qingluo looked at him blankly.
Lin Banxia breathed for a moment, and was careful: "We can't do illegal things there, right?"
Song Qingluo: "Oh."
Lin Banxia: "..."
Song Qingluo slowly said: "Of course, it can't be illegal." Lin Banxia thought to the boss, what did you mean?
Song Qingluo: "Take a joke with you."
Lin Banxia clenched his little luggage in fear.
Joking back to joke, Song Qingluo still explained where they were going, saying that it was a relatively remote mountain village with poorly developed traffic and it took more than ten hours to drive by.
Lin Banxia said: "Just the two of us?"
Song Qingluo said: "There are two other colleagues I work with, and they are already over there. Let's just go directly."
Lin Banxia said, "So ... what do we need to do?"
Song Qingluo took a piece of information and threw it in front of Lin Banxia: "Look at it first."
Lin Banxia screamed and took a look at the information carefully. The information above recorded the situation of the village in detail.
This village is located on the border of a province, surrounded by mountains, and the transportation is extremely inconvenient. Because of the inconvenient transportation, the village is also very closed, and there are few people outside.
However, in the spring of this year, the village was broken.
The village began to die constantly. At first, everyone thought it was an accident, but more and more people died, and the way of death became more and more bizarre. The villagers finally realized that something was wrong and began to seek outside help.
They called the police, and the police sent someone to conduct a preliminary investigation, but soon realized that they could not solve the matter, so they reported to the police in layers, and finally came to Song Qingluo.
According to the data, Song Qingluo and his team have sent the first batch of people in the past, but the situation is not very good. All four people have lost contact. At present, it is suspected that they have been killed.
No, Song Qingluo can only go there in person.
Lin Banxia pinched the material and felt as if he was watching a horror story. He said: "There are only more than 500 people in that village. Is this one-tenth dead?"
Song Qingluo glanced at him: "This is the information from a week ago."
Lin Banxia said: "Will there be a murderous demon hidden in it?"
Song Qingluo said, "I don't know."
Lin Banxia said: "It doesn't make sense, can the murderous demon kill so many people silently? What is your guess?"
Song Qingluo said: "It may be something that affects human consciousness, but it is just a blind guess, and I don't know until I see the situation."
Lin Banxia nodded.
The car got on the high-speed and went all the way forward. Song Qingluo drove for half a day. Lin Banxia was afraid that he would drive tiredly and demanded to drive himself in the middle of the night.
Song Qingluo agreed, but he didn't sleep either, sitting next to him and chatting with Lin Banxia.
At about five or six in the evening, they reached their destination. Song Qingluo did not rush into the village, but rested in the hotel outside the village for a night.
The next morning, Lin Banxia was still asleep, and Song Qingluo quietly led in a man and a woman, both of whom were wearing ordinary clothes, but treated Song Qingluo with an unusually respectful attitude. Lin Banxia, ​​who was lying, asked in a low voice: "Mr. Song, is this your surveillance partner?"
Song Qingluo glanced at them and said lightly: "Uh"
Half-dreaming and half-waking, Lin Banxia also heard the special word "monitor". He woke up at once, but he was embarrassed to sit up and pretended he was still sleeping.
Song Qingluo talked quietly with the person coming. The two made a brief self-introduction. The man's name was He Huaian and the woman's name was Mu Xinsi. Both of them had rich work experience.
"What's the situation now?" Song Qingluo went straight to the subject after knowing their names.
"You can only be sure that the two are dead." He Huaian said, "The messages from the remaining two included their death."
"How did you die?" Song Qingluo asked.
"One died of severe allergies and one drowned." He Huaian said, "The one who died of allergies seems to be an accident. He was bitten by a poisonous insect in the local area, which caused allergy symptoms, so it was gone."
Song Qingluo pondered, "What about the drowned one?"
He Huaian said: "This is rather strange. It seems that one day when he was acting alone, he suddenly disappeared. When he was found, the body was at the water's edge, face down, and there were many traces of struggle near the body, but there was no prisoner Clues ... "
Song Qingluo said: "Is the two people a monitor or a recorder?"
"One is a watcher and the other is a recorder. Because two people died, they felt that the situation was wrong, and they planned to call the remaining two people back, but they suddenly lost contact and are now in a disconnected state. In view of the situation ... "He Huaian sighed. He himself is the recorder. Naturally, it is clear that the recorders are usually ordinary people like them. It is normal for the death rate to be high, but if a surveillance is dead The situation is different.
Song Qingluo said: "What was the last message they sent?"
He Huaian said with caution: "The last message said that this village is very problematic, and it may not only be influenced by heresy, but also there may be artificial traces ..."
Song Qingluo nodded, indicating that he knew, and then agreed with them to enter the village for tomorrow morning. The two nodded and stepped back lightly.
Song Qingluo lowered his head and continued to check the information, to see if there was anything missing, he said: "Wake up and wake up."
Lin Banxia came up with a head: "Good morning."
"Okay." Song Qingluo said, "I didn't want to disturb you to sleep, but the town is too small, and I was afraid to talk outside to cause suspicion." He turned his head and looked at Lin Banxia.
"Very good." Lin Banxia slept well everywhere.
Song Qingluo said: "Let's have breakfast together, take a look around."
Lin Banxia nodded. He quickly dressed and went with Song Qingluo to eat something casually in the town. The location of this town is also very remote. Song Qingluo observed the surrounding area, bought something, and casually asked about the village. It was about his appearance. The aunt who sold things was very enthusiastic and said with a smile: "Boy, you ask what the village is doing. The village is poor and partial. No one wants to go."
Song Qingluo said: "Is there something going on in the village recently?"
"What happened?" Auntie said. "It seems that something happened, but we don't know what happened." She said here, she looked around and lowered her voice, "I said to you Do n’t tell anyone, I have a big nephew from a funerary shop. I heard that their village seems to have ordered dozens of coffins suddenly more than a month ago ...
Song Qingluo said: "Oh, that's what it is."
"I don't know what you are doing, but I still have to persuade you." Auntie said, "The place is not easy to go, it is not easy to come out, if you are just curious, don't go."
Song Qingluo smiled, thanked her aunt, and turned away with Lin Banxia.
Lin Banxia thought: "What would happen if so many people suddenly die in a month, either natural disasters or human disasters, but even a murderous demon could not do it, could he still make people allergic to death? ? "
Song Qingluo slowly said: "That's not necessary."
Lin Banxia was more and more curious in his heart.
After a day of rest in the town, after buying all the necessities of life and filling up the car with fuel, the four went into the mountains the next morning.
However, when leaving the hotel, Song Qingluo took out his two black and white dice and handed them to the two of them, and said softly, "Go through the process."
The two didn't find it strange. He Huaian first picked up the dice, and the light car picked up two dice and threw it towards the table. The near-circular dice was gurgling on the table, and soon stopped, one black and one white, the numbers were 3 and 4, respectively, Song Qingluo nodded, indicating Mu Xinsi continued. Mou Xinsi was more nervous than He Huaian, took the dice, took a deep breath, and gently threw the dice on the table. After the dice stop spinning, the black is 4 and the white is 5.
"What's going on?" Song Qingluo seemed dissatisfied with this number and frowned at Mu Xinsi.
Mou Xinsi said nervously: "I, I am a little nervous, did not sleep well last night ..."
Song Qingluo said, "Just didn't sleep well?"
Mou Xinsi smiled bitterly, she said: "Um ... really just did not sleep well."
Song Qingluo took the dice back and said nothing.
Mu Xinsi seemed to be afraid that Song Qingluo didn't want himself, and said a series of words in a hurry. Song Qingluo didn't speak, but just looked at He Huaian coldly.
He Huaian whispered: "Song ... Mr." He couldn't call Song Qingluo's name, "She is my new partner, something happened shortly before her last partner ... so mental state May be affected. "
Song Qingluo whispered: "You are not afraid of what happened to her in the village?"
He Huaian language stopper.
"Let her go back." Song Qingluo said, "I am for her good."
He Huaian looked at Mu Xinsi, and Mu Xinsi whispered: "Mr. Song, please let me go, I really need this money."
Song Qingluo glanced at her, did not speak, and turned away. Leaving Lin Banxia and the two of them looked at each other, Lin Banxia was afraid that they would beg for themselves and hurriedly followed the car, but just kindly reminded before getting on the bus Important-Although he said this sentence, it seems that there is nothing persuasive.
Finally, Mu Xinsi got on the bus.
Song Qingluo drove, Lin Banxia sat in the position of co-pilot, and He Huaian and Mou Xinsi were guilty, but did not dare to say anything. The atmosphere in the car was a bit dull for a while. Lin Banxia thought about it quietly and took out a bottle of Coke from his backpack, unscrewed the lid, and handed it to Song Qingluo's lips.
Song Qingluo squinted at Lin Banxia, ​​still holding the mouth of the Coke bottle, sipped, and said, "How come I remembered buying this."
Lin Banxia said, "When I saw the shop, I bought it by the way."
Song Qingluo said: "Did you buy yourself a sausage?"
Lin Banxia also took a sip of herself: "The store has no sausage."
Song Qingluo's cold feeling has gone a lot.
The road leading to the village is a dirt road. There is only one car driving on it, because it rained a few days ago, and the road is getting muddy. Fortunately, Song Qingluo ’s car is a high chassis off-road vehicle, otherwise I'm afraid it's really troublesome.
According to the information, the village is a four-hour drive from the town, which is still in good weather and road conditions. It seems that at present, four hours do not want to arrive. The road was crooked and narrow, and he had to concentrate on driving. Lin Banxia did n’t dare to disturb Song Qingluo. He sat quietly playing with his mobile phone, playing with it, and suddenly remembered: "Is there a mobile phone signal in that village? "
"Mobile phone signal?" He Huaian answered the words. "There are mobile phone signals. It's not good when the weather is bad."
Lin Banxia said: "The two people have been missing for four days, right? You haven't received any news?"
"No." He Huaian said, "In fact, the village chief had been in contact with the outside before, and he was also reported by the police, but later the signal was getting worse, and the village chief could not be reached anymore ... Communicate with the outside world. "
Lin Banxia curiously said: "You go to this place? Are you afraid?"
He Huaian gave Song Qingluo a careful look and said, "Actually following Mr. Song ... it's very reassuring."
Lin Banxia said with a smile: "So you are still afraid?"
He Huaian nodded.
Lin Banxia comforted: "Sometimes it's a good thing to be afraid."
Fear is the most basic defense mechanism of human beings. Fear of night is just an instinct inherited from ancestor genes. The fierce beasts coming out of the night are enough to tear the weak body of mankind, so the mankind has carved the fear of darkness into the blood of the inheritance.
Lin Banxia will also be afraid, but when he is afraid, everything is over. This is a good thing. He does not need to indulge in fear. It is also a bad thing. He does not know where it is dangerous.
Lin Banxia was thinking, but heard Mou Xinsi in the back seat of the car saying timidly: "Mr. Song, this Mr. Lin, have you forgotten to roll the dice? We haven't recorded it yet ..."
Lin Banxia was shocked.
Song Qingluo said: "He doesn't need to."
Mou Xinsi said: "Is it really not necessary?"
Song Qingluo said: "No."
Mou Xinsi's expression was a bit surprised. It was probably Mr. Song, who always wanted to keep the rules, but it would be an exception.
Lin Banxia didn't dare to say anything while sitting beside him, holding a Pepsi bottle and sitting like a wooden man, playing with her cell phone from time to time. After about an hour or two, Lin Banxia noticed that the sky outside was gloomy and it seemed to be raining again.
"Song Qingluo, it seems that it will rain again." Lin Banxia said, "Would you like to drive faster?"
Song Qingluo glanced out of the window, hummed, and stepped on the accelerator.
