016. Mountain Village

The cold wind whistles and heavy snow falls.

Just one night passed, the city of Jincheng was covered in silver and turned white.

Today is the fourth day of the Chinese New Year, and the atmosphere of the Spring Festival is still continuing. Many businesses on the street have closed down. Those from other places have returned to their hometowns for the New Year, while those in the local area have visited relatives and friends.

Red lanterns are hung on the street lights in the city, which are particularly conspicuous in the white snow.

Gu Xing simply carried a bag and took the subway from Huanghuai to the passenger station in Xuanwu like a backpacker.

When he came, Gu Xing had already checked the information online and looked at the maps of Jincheng and nearby towns, and roughly deduced the location of the "ghost village" at that time.

With the legend of "ghost village", and the location where he rushed out of the road and was rescued by Charlene, his location has actually been reduced to a certain range. It is not difficult to investigate and analyze it with Gu Xing's ability.

It was a village called Shantan, located in the mountains of Jiangdu next to Jincheng. It started to be haunted about 18 years ago. People frequently frightened and hanged themselves. The villagers were panicked for a while and did countless rituals but it was useless. But in the end, the whole village had to migrate.

There is a dedicated bus at Xuanwu's bus station to run to Gaocheng, the closest to Shantan. Gu Xing needs to go to Gaocheng first before he can turn to Shantan.

"...Please hold the handrail, next stop, Jincheng Xiaohongshan Station."

The site radio rang in the subway, and the people on the subway during the Spring Festival were more dense than before.

Gu Xing stood in the crowded crowd with his backpack, closing his eyes and resting, waiting for the subway to arrive at the station.

Soon, the station where Gu Xing was going to arrive at the station. After the local railway stopped, Gu Xing walked out of the subway station with the gushing crowd, walked a distance under the snow for a while, and arrived at the passenger station.

"A ticket to Gaocheng, thank you."

After waiting in line for a while, it was finally Gu Xing's turn. Gu Xing said to the ticket seller in the ticket window.

The ticket seller was a girl wearing thick black-framed glasses and an ordinary-looking face. After Gu Xing handed over his ID card, he casually compared it, and then said slightly surprised: "Is this you?"

Gu Xing's ID card was obtained in junior high school. At that time, he was only a small man of about 1.6 meters and very young, which was completely different from the ones that were about 1.8 meters and now, and his appearance was clearly different. However, if you look closely, you can still see the similarity between the contours and facial features.

When Gu Xing faced the inquiry, he just smiled slightly.

The girl in the ticket salesperson looked carefully and found that it was indeed the same person. While feeling moved, she printed the ticket and handed it to Gu Xing.

After receiving the ticket, Gu Xing went to the waiting hall to wait for a while. Soon, the time came to the departure time on the ticket.

After checking the ticket and getting on the bus, Gu Xing found his seat and sat down. Ten minutes later, the passengers filled all the seats and the car slowly drove out of the passenger station.

The heavy snow was still falling, the road was frozen, and many workers were shoveling snow. The car drove for more than half an hour before finally leaving the city.

Strangely, after leaving the city and boarding the expressway, the road was not as frozen as the road in Jincheng, and the temperature was not as cold as in Jincheng. People in the car took off their scarves or zipped the down jackets.

Gu Xing frowned when he saw it. The heavy snow seemed to have only covered Jincheng, and there was no other place.

He turned his head and looked out the window. The car gradually drove away from Jincheng, but with his visual eyesight, he could still see the sky of Jincheng in the far distance, with large snowflakes falling down.

"strangeness……"

I was a little confused, but Gu Xing didn't think much about it. The climate in Su Province is different from that in Guizhou Province. It is normal to snow in winter, unlike in Guizhou Province, which is rain the most.

Soon, the car got farther and farther away, and finally, with Gu Xing's eyes, he could no longer see the outline of the city of Jincheng, and the snow was thrown out of the back of his mind.

A faint feeling of anxiety arises in my heart.

This is the ghost village that came to the ghost village after half a year to obtain the information of "The Evolution of Life". At that time, the information in his mind was disordered and he didn't have much impression. Gu Xing inevitably had a complex mood that contained expectations and nervousness.

"Huh~"

Many thoughts flashed through his mind, Gu Xing let out a light breath, no longer thinking, and waited with peace of mind.

About three hours later, it was noon and the car Gu Xing finally arrived in Gaocheng.

After getting off at Gaocheng Bus Station, Gu Xing transferred to Xinyu Town near Shantan without stopping and arrived at Xinyu Town, near Shantan. Shantan is located on the mountain. It is a very remote village. When it was not haunted in the early years, it was just a small village near Xinyu Town. Like other villages near Xinyu Town, people inside bought markets and came to Xinyu Town.

Now more than ten years have passed, Xinyu Town has developed into a socialist new countryside, which is richer than the county towns in many poor places in the west. Every local household does not mention the villa building, but the houses are decorated with their own characteristics. Many families have already bought cars.

In addition, there are factories near Xinyu Town, and many outsiders come here to work. The town has complete facilities, hotels, supermarkets, KTVs, etc.

After Gu Xing arrived in Xinyu Town, he first opened a room in the most luxurious hotel in the town, and then began to ask the people in the town how to get to Shantan.

Although the satellite map on the Internet shows the location of the mountain pond, it only has two words and there is no specific way to go.

At that time, Gu Xing was led by the trick and did not remember the road. When he obtained the information "Evolution of Life" in Shantan Village, he was too much information and he was in a disordered mind and didn't remember how it came out. So if he wanted to go now, he still had to ask the locals for inquiries.

Hotel lobby.

"What? You want to go to Shantan too?!"

When Gu Xing asked the fat middle-aged woman in the hotel and the front desk cashier how to get to Shantan, the boss was very surprised.

Gu Xing lives in a hotel, but in fact it is just a five-story house with fine decoration. Although the facilities are similar to those of a hotel, the management model inside is almost exactly the same as that of a general small hotel.

"also?"

After hearing the boss's wife's words, Gu Xing instantly grabbed the point and asked calmly: "Apart from me, there are other people who are also asking about how to get to Shantan?"

"yes!"

The boss's wife said frankly: "I also booked a room with me yesterday and asked how to go to Shantan."

After saying that, the boss's wife looked around and leaned forward, lowered her voice and said to Gu Xing: "I advise you not to go to Shantan! There... there has been a ghost!"

Of course, Gu Xing would not be scared. His purpose for coming here was Shantan.

He didn't care about the haunted thing the boss lady said, but when he heard someone was asking about how to go to Shantan like him, he immediately asked: "Boss, who was the one who asked about how to go to Shantan yesterday? Are you in the hotel?"

"That man arrived last night. He asked me how to go to Shantan and wanted me to take it there. No one was willing to go to that ghost place during the day, let alone the big night, so I rejected him at that time."

The boss's wife curled her lips and said, "But he spent 1,000 yuan early this morning to find someone to take him there. Should he be here now?"

Speaking of the latter, the boss lady thought for a while.

Then, the boss lady looked at Gu Xing and smiled and said, "As for this person... we need to protect the privacy of the guests, it's hard to say."

Seeing this, Gu Xing immediately took out his wallet and took out ten 100-degree money and slapped it on the cashier. He said calmly: "Boss, tell me who that person is. Also, find someone to take me to Shantan. This thousand yuan is yours."

Seeing the red money on the cash register, the boss's wife smiled and pulled open the drawer, throwing the information registration list inside on the money: "Hey, the first row is the first."

Gu Xing looked at him and soon saw the identity registration information of the first row.

"Huang Feng?"

The registration information is only one name, a string of ID numbers and check-in time - this is indeed the same as the hotel.

Gu Xing frowned and recited the name, feeling that it was a pseudonym.

After seeing him finish reading it, the boss's wife reached out and slowly pulled back the account book, and then pulled the money she was pressing back into the drawer, and said with a smile: "I can help you find someone, but the person you are looking for will take you through mountains and rivers along the way... How hard it is!"

Gu Xing couldn't hear what the boss's wife meant. Without saying a word, he took out a thousand yuan and slapped it at the cashier.

The proprietress accepted the money with a smile, then shouted to the upstairs: "My surname is Sun! Hurry downstairs and take the guests to Shantan!"

Soon, a thin middle-aged man trotted downstairs with a earnest smile on his face: "Wife, what's the matter?"

...

The haze filled the sky, and the biting cold wind blew in the mountains.

On the mountainside, Gu Xing went straight up the path, and behind him, the hotel owner was breathless and gasping.

"Boss, can you hurry up?"

Gu Xing frowned slightly, looked at the thin and thin boss who was breathing heavily, and said.

The thin boss bent down, supported one hand on his legs and panted, raised his hand to Gu Xing with the other, and then said intermittently: "Little...boy...I can't walk anymore...you can walk by yourself... Follow this road...it's all the way up...it's...Shantan Village..."

It was already afternoon, and the sun could not be seen in the hazy sky.

Gu Xing frowned and looked at the thin boss. Seeing that the other party could not walk anymore, he said, "Okay, I'll go up first."

After saying that, Gu Xing carried his backpack and took big steps under his feet, running along the road like a dragonfly, extremely light and brisk.

The thin boss who was breathing in his breath was envious.

It's good to be young...

...

Gu Xing was moving briskly all the way, and after leaving the thin boss's sight, his speed accelerated again.

Following the path, he soon saw a village.

But soon, Gu Xing stopped suddenly.

Because he saw that the villages appearing ahead were crowded and very lively, and there was no appearance of a deserted village at all.

"Can the ones ahead go? Please don't block the way!"

Suddenly, an impatient voice came from behind Gu Xing.

Gu Xing's face changed and he quickly turned around.

I saw that on the path when he came, there were also people coming and going. Rural people dressed in plain clothes were holding things in their hands, following behind him with a festive smile on their faces, and lined up a long line.

Behind him, a burly and stout man was carrying something in his hand, looking at him blocking the way impatiently.

What is creepy is that the things these people are holding are all bloody hearts, livers, spleens, and lungs...

Behind Gu Xing, the burly and stout man, was the head of the hotel owner who had just brought Gu Xing to!

At this moment, the hotel owner's head was wide open and he looked forward with blood dripping, his face full of horror.
