Chapter 12 Eyes (4)

There was no cock crowing, no dog barking, and the village ushered in the morning of the next day in complete silence.

It was difficult to fall asleep in a strange and strange environment. When I woke up, I found that the rain outside had stopped. I took out my phone to check the time, but it still showed that I was not in the service area, and it was already past 6 o’clock.

It stands to reason that at this time, people in the countryside should get up to work, but we didn't see any villagers coming out of their homes.

The sky was getting brighter, and we were not so scared anymore, so we got out of the car and knocked on the door of a random house: "Is there anyone there?"

There was no response, and he knocked on another door: "Is there anyone?"

I knocked on several houses in a row, but none of them opened the door.

Da Li rubbed his head, spat on the ground and said, "Damn, how can you guard us like thieves? How about..." He made a gesture, and I understood what he meant to say secretly.Originally, I didn't like this method. Since people don't want to accept interviews, it's against morality to take photos secretly.But now curiosity got the better of me, and I nodded.

Walking through an alley, I saw a part of the fence collapsed, so I gave Da Li a wink.He nodded, and touched the top of the fence with the camera on his shoulders. I walked away two steps to let him out.

Within a few minutes, Da Li jumped down from the fence and said in a panic, "There is a person inside, he, he is eating!"

I couldn't laugh or cry: "Eat? Isn't that normal?"

"Normal fart!" Da Li scolded, "He's not eating cooked food, you know? He's eating raw rice!"

I shivered: "Raw rice?"

"Yes! I can see it clearly! He took it out of the rice bag, one grain at a time, and stuffed it directly into his mouth."

A strange feeling came to my mind. I remembered that the informant said that another special feature of this village is that everyone seems to be immortal, and there are almost no signs of aging in them.If it was an ordinary interview and heard such a scene, I would definitely think that this is one of the secrets of their longevity, but now I just feel that this village is getting more and more evil.

Da Li had a weird look on his face, and after holding back for a long time, he finally said to me: "Pingzi, I think this place is really scary, why don't we go back?"

I was about to nod when I suddenly thought of something. I turned to Da Li and said, "We can't go back empty-handed, right? Since the informant has been here before and knows the information, then we must have a way to get the information from the villagers." Did you find something there?"

Da Li thought for a while, and reluctantly nodded his head in agreement, obviously he didn't want to make a trip in vain.

But the villagers completely refused to communicate with us, and the doors of every house were closed.We were at a loss, discussed it, and decided to go back to the car before making plans.

There was a person unexpectedly standing next to the car.

To be exact, it was a little girl in a red jacket.She looked sallow, very small and visibly malnourished.But other than that, everything works fine.

I let out a breath slowly, and finally saw a normal person in this village.

"Uncle, are you a foreigner?" The little girl looked at me with interest, and spoke before we could ask.This was the first villager I met who expressed friendship to me after I came to this village.It is always easier to make up words in children. I made up a reason: "We got lost and came here by accident."

"Uncle, what is this? Also, is it fun outside?" The little girl smiled innocently, "People in the village don't like people outside. They won't let them leave the village, but I want to go out."

I patted her head and said, "This is a car. Uncle came here by car. Little girl, why do you want to go outside?"

The little girl pursed her lips proudly and said, "My brother said, it's fine outside!"

"Your brother? Has he been outside?"

The little girl's expression suddenly became sad: "He's gone."

I asked curiously, "Is it gone?"

The girl nodded, as if she was about to cry: "He ran out secretly, but he didn't take me with him... Uncle, have you seen my brother?"

My heart moved, could it be that the girl's brother is the one who called me to report?

So I comforted the girl and said: "There are many, many people outside. If I meet your brother, I will definitely tell him that you are waiting for him."

As I said that, I wanted to get some gadgets or food for her, but I was embarrassed to find that besides the mobile phone, I only had a pack of cigarettes, a bunch of keys, and a bottle of eye drops prescribed by the doctor.

When I saw the eye drops, I immediately felt my eyes a little sore. I dripped two drops of the drops. I thought I would tell the little girl, so I blinked and asked, "Little girl, how old are you?"

The little girl watched me drop the eye drops curiously, and her eyes fell on the small plastic bottle without blinking. I thought about it and gave the bottle to her: "Tell uncle, this is for you to play with."

The little girl took the bottle with a happy face, but she ignored me and ran away in a hurry. I was angry and funny, and I didn't want to be serious with the child, so I could only watch her disappear into the corner of the street.

Da Li laughed happily and said, "What should we do now? Do you want to try again with the village chief?"

I thought of the scene last night, and felt a little conflicted in my heart, but things can't stay like this without progress.I nodded, and before leaving, I turned on the music in the car, and the car door was ajar. Da Li asked strangely, "What are you doing?"

I chuckled: "It seems that the people in the village have never seen a car before, let them be a little curious, maybe someone will take the initiative to chat with us." I shook my pocket again and continued, "Don't worry, there is a car." The key will be fine."
