Long night dreams

Chapter 2 Welcome to Cursed Village
After reading the introduction, Guo Haoran realized that Zhuang Qin's horror novel "Night Burial" made this remote village famous all at once. The local tourism bureau decided to develop the tourism resources there, and the promotional slogan was --Want to see the real scene where the horror story happened?Come to Curse Village.

Guo Haoran put down the book thoughtfully.

When Ye Mei returned home, Guo Haoran inevitably quarreled with her.Ye Mei admits to having an affair with another man, but is unwilling to reveal who that man is.

After all, Ye Mei has been married to Guo Haoran for more than five years, she knows her husband too well.I remember one time when Ye Mei came home from get off work early and saw Guo Haoran preparing to make spicy rabbit.He didn't kill it with a kitchen knife, but just took a cold look at the rabbit waiting to be slaughtered, then raised a hammer, and smashed it down on the rabbit's head with no expression on his face.

The rabbit fell to the ground without even humming, its brains bursting out and its eyes bursting...

When Guo Haoran saw Ye Mei watching, he showed an embarrassed smile, but in his eyes, there was an indescribable cruelty and satisfaction.Yes, it is content!When Guo Haoran saw the rabbit being crushed to death, an unparalleled pleasure appeared in his eyes.

Although Guo Haoran can't make much money by writing articles, he is like a sick rabbit in front of Ye Mei, and he is obedient to Ye Mei, but Ye Mei can't forget seeing Guo Haoran from Guo Haoran that day. The pleasure in the eyes.Rabbits will bite people when they are in a hurry, not to mention this person who enjoys killing rabbits!

Ye Mei was worried that Guo Haoran would act crazy after knowing who that man was.After the quarrel ended, Ye Mei turned around and walked into her room, closing the door.

After a while, she came out, holding a piece of paper and handing it to Guo Haoran.On the top of the piece of paper, five neat black characters were written: Divorce Agreement.

Ye Mei made the biggest concession in the agreement, leaving the two-bedroom and one-living room they jointly owned, and all the bank deposits to Guo Haoran—anyway, that man has a lot of money, and Ye Mei doesn't care about this. Something that Guo Haoran has in common.She thought Guo Haoran should be satisfied, but when she saw Guo Haoran's face, she couldn't help being stunned.

Two lines of tears rolled down Guo Haoran's face, his vision was hazy, he looked at Ye Mei fixedly, and said word by word: "I can pretend that I don't know anything, as long as you are willing to leave that man, we can Do you want to start over?"
At this moment, Ye Mei suddenly felt something weak in her heart, and she almost nodded.But when she thought that Guo Haoran had never given her anything in the past five years, and that new man had a car and a house, and was obedient to her, the balance in her heart immediately tilted again.

Ye Mei said resolutely: "No, I have to leave you, I'm going to pursue my own happiness." After saying these words, she saw a pair of despairing eyes, and her heart became weak again, so she whispered to Guo Haoran said: "Don't be sad, as long as you are willing to sign this agreement, I can agree to your last request. As long as I can do it, you can make any request."
Guo Haoran stood up, raised his head and looked around, his eyes accidentally fell on the "Night Burial" on the windowsill.Suddenly, a relieved expression appeared on his face, and he said to Ye Mei: "Let's go on a trip."
"Why do you suddenly want to travel?" Ye Mei was a little puzzled.

Guo Haoran replied with a sad tone: "Because I hope to meet some things during the tour, so that our relationship can be restored to the same happiness as before. If things can develop like this, of course it is the best. Wish, that doesn't matter, just like the most popular divorce tourism, we can break up happily, even after divorce, we can continue to be ordinary friends."
Ye Mei nodded and agreed to Guo Haoran's proposal.When she nodded, a trace of sadness suddenly appeared in her heart.

Many years ago, Ye Mei once read a mystery novel "Divorce Travel" written by Japanese female writer Misa Yamamura.It is about a couple who chose to travel before they divorced. They encountered many bizarre events during the trip. After these events, the couple finally reunited.

That was when Ye Mei and Guo Haoran were passionately in love, and she asked Guo Haoran to borrow it to watch.Ye Mei knew that Guo Haoran had also read this book, maybe his proposal was because of this book.However, Ye Mei believed that no matter what happened during the journey, the decision she made would not change.She has long been tired of the life with Guo Haoran, she is eager to change, she is eager to break away from all life related to Guo Haoran.

Before Ye Mei returned to her room, she did not forget to ask: "Where are we going to travel?"
Guo Haoran said expressionlessly: "Evil Curse Village, an ancient town in the southwest." He raised his hand, and in his hand was a piece of exquisite paper, which was the travel leaflet in "Night Burial".

For this unexpected trip, Guo Haoran purchased large and small packages of snacks and drinks in the supermarket.When he walked to the sidewalk of Dongwu Community, he glanced at the bare sycamore tree on the side of the road, froze for a moment, then he strode to a tree and tore off a piece of bark on the trunk.

Although Guo Haoran doesn't believe that this sycamore bark can bring him good luck, he really hopes that in the dark, there will be a mysterious power that can return Ye Mei's erratically missing... Heart.

Seeing the heavy dark brown sycamore bark in his hand, Guo Haoran suddenly felt dizzy.When Ye Mei handed him the divorce agreement, the decisive coldness flashed in her eyes, which made him extremely sad.He shook his head vigorously, trying to keep himself awake.Although the early winter sun was warm, Guo Haoran felt cold all over his body.

He stuffed the bark of the sycamore tree into his trouser pocket, then turned around and walked home with snacks.

Guo Haoran and Ye Mei started their trip to Curse Village leisurely.According to the introduction on the travel leaflet, they booked a plane ticket to a certain city in the southwest, and after arriving in a certain city, they took a train to a small town in the outer suburbs. This small town was half a day's drive away from the legendary Cursed Village.

It was dusk when they arrived in the town, so they had to stay here overnight.After walking into a small hotel, Guo Haoran wanted to share a room with Ye Mei, but Ye Mei frowned and asked for two rooms from the waiter with a red face.Guo Haoran originally wanted to express his disapproval, but when he saw Ye Mei's icy face, he couldn't help but shiver, and forced the words back out of his mouth.

Guo Haoran went to the counter and found the red-faced waitress, and asked about the situation of the cursed village.While spitting out the melon seeds, the waitress told Guo Haoran that the Curse Village was actually newly developed, and it was not included in the town's tourism plan. The Curse Village itself was running the project.So now there is no bus that can go directly to the cursed village, so you can only take the minibuses that have been eliminated in the dilapidated city.

After hearing these words, Guo Haoran felt a little uneasy in his heart. He began to wonder if he really shouldn't come here for his divorce trip with Ye Mei.

Early the next morning, Guo Haoran woke up Ye Mei and came to the bus station in the town.After asking about several cars, he finally got on a dilapidated minibus with black smoke coming from the rear.

There were not many people in the car, except for the driver, there were only three passengers.Guo Haoran saw a young couple sitting in the last row of the minibus, feeding each other yellow oranges as if no one else was around.In the passenger seat in the front row, there was a muscular middle-aged man wearing sunglasses.Guo Haoran can be sure that these three people are also tourists. The reason why he thinks this way is not only because the clothes they are wearing are completely different from those of the villagers outside the car, but also because the three people are holding a bag in their hands. An exquisite travel brochure sent by Zhang Evil Curse Village.

Guo Haoran secretly laughed, thinking that these three people must have been bewitched after seeing the beautiful scenery on the flyer.

After Ye Mei got into the car, she didn't care about Guo Haoran's face, and sat on the single seat by the left window by herself.Guo Haoran smiled wryly, walked to the last row sullenly, and sat next to the young couple.Looking at the sweetness of this couple, Guo Haoran couldn't help feeling an unspeakable sadness in his heart.

The car was driving slowly between the winding and winding mountain roads. The driver was a young man in his early twenties. He was obviously a novice on the road. He was not familiar with the road leading to the cursed village. Whenever he encountered a fork in the road, he would He would tilt his head and ask the sturdy middle-aged man next to him how to go.And that middle-aged man is not familiar with the road, he is just a tourist, when he encounters a problem with the driver, he will open an atlas, point to the road on it and say maybe we should go this way, maybe we should go go over there.

Along the way, the driver stopped and stopped. Originally, it only took half a day's drive to reach the cursed village, but when the sky gradually darkened, the minibus that was emitting black smoke was still like a snail in the rolling foothills. Generally crawling.

Along the way, Guo Haoran was suffocated with anger all the time, he really wanted to yell at this unfamiliar young driver, but he also wanted to maintain his last bit of demeanor in front of Ye Mei.He wanted to suppress his anger in his chest countless times, but the evil fire was like a seed that took root, stubbornly growing in his heart, always trying to find a gap to rush out.

Masses of dense dark clouds surged from the sky, covering the sunlight, and in just a split second, the sky became as dark as night.

Guo Haoran looked out of the window, feeling that he finally couldn't bear it anymore.He stood up with a "thump", and under the surprised eyes of the young couple, he asked the driver loudly: "How long are you going to drive? It's been a whole day.

The driver stepped on the brakes, and the inertia of the minibus almost caused Guo Haoran to fall into the compartment in embarrassment.He was about to have an attack, but found that the car had already stopped at a three-way intersection.The young driver said unhurriedly, "Here we are, look—"
The driver pointed to a road sign outside the window, on which was written several blood-red artistic words: "Evil Curse Village, 1000 meters".

The muscular middle-aged man on the passenger seat asked, "Why didn't the car stop here? Why didn't you send us to the entrance of the village one kilometer ahead?"
"because……"
