Chapter 11 Eyes (3)

The house is filled with a faint earthy smell, which can only be found in houses that have not been lived in for a long time. Although it is too dark to see anything, I can imagine that there must be a lot of spider webs on the roof, and there must be many in the house Cockroaches, mice, etc.

Da Li asked, "Master, where is the light switch?"

The village chief found a place to sit down: "We don't have electricity here."

I am a little speechless, it is hard to imagine such a closed and backward village in this era.

"Are there any candles?" Da Li said, and lit up the lighter with a bang, and bright flames shot out.

"Stop!" The village chief suddenly grabbed something around him and threw it at Da Li vigorously, shouting emotionally, "Take that thing away!"

The thing brushed past Da Li's ear and hit the ground with a crisp sound—it was a large enamel cup, the porcelain on the surface had fallen off, and it looked quite old.

We were all stunned, it's just a lighter, and you just hit people with this thing?Da Li turned on the lighter, and cursed softly, still in shock: "I'm sick!"

I don't know if the old man has any eccentricities, but I asked him if he could turn on the flashlight, but he didn't object now.

With the light of the flashlight, I can roughly see the layout of the room.The only complete thing in this room is the stove, dining table and chairs, a pile of things piled up in the corner, and there are doors on the front, back, left, and right sides. I touched the table, and there was a thick layer of dust on it.

Very eccentric here.I really didn't want to wait until tomorrow, so I tried to talk to the village chief: "Master, I heard that people in our village have very good eyesight?"

"Nonsense!" said the village chief. "Just talk about me. I have had cataracts for so many years, and my eyes are almost gone."

Before I could continue talking, he stood up and said, "There is a bed in the room on the right, you can stay here for one night." The village chief stood up, walked into the room on the left, and emphasized before entering the door, "Tomorrow Let's go early in the morning."

In the room on the right there is only one large Kang, on which are placed two quilts.I don't know how long the sheets and quilts have been placed, and they feel sticky and slippery to the touch, and there are even many intertwined spider webs.

After staring at the bed for a while, Da Li asked, "Is this place inhabited by people or ghosts?"

We removed the quilt, wiped the ashes from the kang, and huddled in the corner without taking off our clothes.

"What do you think?" Da Li asked, "Really go back tomorrow morning?"

I shook my head: "This village is too weird. The village chief is sneaky. He must be hiding something. Let's ask other people tomorrow morning."

Da Li nodded and said: "I think so too. Damn, my son will definitely be angry with me again when I go back tomorrow. If I don't come up with some information, I'm really at a loss."

The night in the mountains is relatively cool, but the fatigue of the long drive made us fall asleep quickly.

I dreamed again that someone was giving me eye drops.

"Tick!"

The medicine dripped onto the eyelids.

"Tick!"

The potion dripped onto his hand again.

My eyes are itchy to death, but it seems to be playing tricks on me deliberately, and the eye drops can't get into my eyes no matter what.

I became anxious, and felt that my eyes were itchy as if they were going to explode, and I was so angry that I almost roared out.

"Tick!"

The overly real touch made me wake up suddenly, and at the same time, a huge drop of water hit my face again.

It was raining outside, and there was a crisp sound of rain outside the window.There were leaks in several places in the house, and the rain was splashing on the ground. A layer of water had accumulated on the ground, and the ash on the kang mixed with the raindrops to form mud.

"What happened?" Da Li also woke up, "How is this house treated?"

The rain outside was getting heavier and heavier, thunder and lightning were roaring outside the house, the roof was like a broken umbrella with countless holes poked, and the leaking rain had gathered into a straight line.

I sighed: "Forget it, let's go back to the car and sleep. I'll go and talk to the village chief." After I finished speaking, I jumped off the kang to cover the raindrops that leaked from my head, and pushed open the door of the village chief's room.

The half-decayed door made a piercing sound, and a person was vaguely seen lying on the kang inside the house.

"Village head? Village head?"

I called a few times, but there was no response, so I walked quietly to his bed.The water leakage in this room is no better than ours. The water on the kang has already flowed down, but the people on the bed are motionless.

can you sleep in such condition?I thought with some admiration.

Suddenly, a flash of lightning flashed across the sky, and under the instant light, I saw the village chief lying on the bed.Except for his face, his whole body was covered by a cloud of black mist, his eyes were open, the white eyeballs stood out in the pitch blackness, and he stared blankly at the sky.

After the lightning passed, the house returned to darkness, and then a thunder exploded in the sky.I looked in the direction of Kang, and the roar in my head was even louder than thunder.

Taking a few steps forward, I held back the worry in my heart, and put my finger under his nose with fear—no breath!
he died? !

I took a step back in shock, bumped into the box next to me, and fell to the ground unexpectedly.

"What's wrong?" A flashlight shone on my face.My face must have been very ugly, and Da Li, who came after me, also became nervous.

"The village chief..." I had to adjust my breathing to say the following, "he died..."

"Are you okay?" An old voice interrupted me.I turned my head abruptly, and the old man on the kang who was already breathing slowly sat up, "It's so late, what are you doing in my room?"

"It's raining in that room." Da Li said dissatisfiedly, "We're going to sleep in the car, so come over and talk to you."

"Oh, whatever."

I stared at the village chief, the light from the flashlight shone on his face, his wrinkled face looked very strange.

The layer of black mist on his body has disappeared, as if it had never appeared before.

The village head turned to look at me. Under the dim light of the flashlight, I felt that the wrinkles on his face formed a strange smile.He is laughing at me.

My heart is a little hairy.Did he hold his breath on purpose to scare me?But what is that black mist on his body?
Da Li dragged me, who was full of surprise, out.When we were about to go out, the village chief suddenly said, "Your things have been dropped."

I looked down into the ground suspiciously. Even with the light of the flashlight, I still couldn't see anything clearly on the potholed land.

The village chief walked up to us slowly, picked up something from the corner of the wall and handed it to me.It was a coin, maybe it fell out when I just fell.

The village head ignored us, and he closed the door tightly after we walked out.

After returning to the car, Da Li and I looked at each other and said at the same time, "The village chief is lying!"

It seems that part of what the reporter said is true, at least the ability to see at night, we have seen it in the village chief.In addition, I have a feeling that there must be more than one strange place in this strange village.
