As the sun faded, a group of eight people finally arrived at the foot of the mountain. There were still endless trees to see, but there was a path that passed through the woods and vaguely saw several houses behind.

Qiao Si walked at the front of the team, and introduced Zhang Xuanqing and others who were following behind him as he walked: "The village in front is called Heishi Village. It is not big, with only a dozen households, and has lived here for generations. I heard that the government asked the villagers to move out a few years ago, but the villagers were unwilling to do so. As for what is going on now, I don't know. There are very few tourists here. Calculate the time. I have been bringing people here for a few years last time, and I don't know if it has changed."

"Why is this called Black Stone Village? Is it rich in black stones?" Ding Jie asked curiously.

Qiao Si smiled and said, "At first I heard the name of this village. I was actually like you. I thought it was rich in black stones, or a building made of black stones. Unfortunately, there was no, nothing. Since I was a guide, I have been to this village three times, but I have never seen any black stones here. I also asked the old people in this village curiously, but they didn't know whether they didn't want to say it or really don't know."

While speaking, the group speeded up, but as they got closer and closer to the village, everyone gradually felt something was wrong.

Quiet, so quiet!

It was quiet without a trace of sound.

Although Qiao Si said that there are only a dozen families in this village, don’t you even keep a dog?

What about the promised chickens and dogs to hear each other?

Also, it’s supper time now, why can’t you even see the smoke from cooking?

When everyone entered the village, this problem troubled them even more.

I saw that this was a very ancient village, with all the houses covered with stone and wooden buildings. What’s strange is that the doors of every household are wide open and you can see the bleak scene in the yard.

The road surface in the village is paved with gravel, with a thick layer of fallen leaves on it. It is obvious that no one has cleaned it for a long time. If it weren't for the very clear consciousness, Zhang Xuanqing would have suspected that he might have returned to the one he had seen in the Tang Dynasty.

"Is anyone? Is anyone at home?" Qiao Si walked to the door of the house and shouted loudly. With his voice, not to mention this house, several neighbors around him should be able to hear it. But the response to him was still the quietness of death.

"There are no ghosts in this place, right?" After entering the village, the sun had completely set. The dusk was deep and the village was so quiet and so strange. Gong Qi was relatively brave and grabbed Ding Jie's arm in fear.

But how brave can Ding Jie be? One arm was hugged by Gong Qi, and the other arm hugged Fu Yuan again. However, Fu Yuan let out a soft cry.

"What's wrong?" Zhang Xuanqing and others turned around to look.

Ding Jie and Gong Qi were also startled and asked with concern: "What's wrong with Yuanyuan?"

Fu Yuan shook her head and said, "It's okay, it's just that my arm was touched by Sister Ding, and it hurts a little."

"Let's take a look." Zhang Xuanqing frowned. Could it be that he had been injured by himself before?

Walking over, Fu Yuan waved her hand and said, "It's okay, it doesn't hurt anymore." As she said that, she held Ding Jie and Wang Na again.

Seeing this, Zhang Xuanqing hesitated for a moment, nodded, turned to look at Qiao Si, and asked, "Master Qiao Si, you are familiar with this place, what should we do now?"

Qiao Si smiled bitterly: "Master Dao, don't praise me. I said that I have been here three times and haven't stayed for long each time. I don't know much more about this place than you... Why don't we go in and take a look?"

"Just look at it, there is not so much nonsense. Women are afraid, and the big men are afraid?" Hong Dali said disdainfully, and walked into the yard with his feet.

"Hey——" Qiao Si wanted to remind him to be careful, but before he could speak, Hong Dali had already entered the courtyard, and as soon as he entered the door, he began to scream: "Where is the person? No one? If you come out, you will breathe!"

Helplessly the doctor sighed, and Qiao Si looked at Zhang Xuanqing.

Zhang Xuanqing shook his head and said, "Let's go in, let's go in too."

I first entered the courtyard because the gate was open, and I could see the courtyard outside before. It was very ordinary. There was a red copper tree in the middle and a vegetable garden on both sides. A gravel road extends from the main house to the gate of the courtyard.

But when I walked into the yard, I found that the yard was larger than I imagined. There was a large open space outside the vegetable gardens on both sides, paved with bluestone slabs, and I don’t know what it is for.

"That place seems to be very important to the villagers of Heishi Village. They never let outsiders approach it, but I don't know what the specific function is. They never say." Qiao Si followed Zhang Xuanqing and saw that his eyes were still there, he said everything he knew.

Zhang Xuanqing became more and more curious. He looked at him again and saw traces of deep or shallow on the stone slab. He shook his head silently, and he couldn't see anything.

At this time, Fu Yuan, Fan Renjian and others also entered the yard and came behind Zhang Xuanqing and the others. Gong Qi said weakly: "Do you think this yard is gloomy?" As he said that, he couldn't help but hugging Ding Jie's arm tightly.

This movement seemed like a chain reaction. Gong Qi hugged Ding Jie, Ding Jie hugged Yuanyuan, Yuanyuan hugged Wang Na, and the four women squeezed together in the blink of an eye.

Fan Renjian, who was following the four people, suddenly his eyes lit up and he shouted: "Old Gong, don't be afraid, I am Fat Brother. There are also Ding Ding, Nana, Yuanyuan, don't be afraid, Fat Brother protects you!" As he said that, he swears and squirts towards the four girls.

However……

"Damn fat man, get up!"

"We don't need you!"

"There are Xiaodao and the fourth brother, please stay there."

“…”

Fan Renjian was very injured, glanced at Qiao Si resentfully, and then glared at Zhang Xuanqing fiercely.

Zhang Xuanqing: “…”

What's up to me?

"Hey! Are you still coming in?" While the few people were talking, Hong Dali had already entered the room, walked around the room, stood at the door and shouted at everyone.

Ding Jie asked: "There is no one in the house?"

Hong Dali looked like you were an idiot: "I will still stand here if someone else? If you can't come in, I can tell you that although there is no one here, there are beds and quilts. We can live in the house tonight!"

This is exciting news. Camping sounds good, but it is uncomfortable to do it. Especially in this mountain, the ground is tide and the air is wet, so it is so uncomfortable. Therefore, when Ding Jie and the girls were sleeping in bed, they didn't care about being afraid and pulled Zhang Xuanqing and Qiao Si into the room together.

It was like in the same yard in the house. It was like no one had cleaned it for a long time. There was a layer of dust on the ground. However, the tables, chairs and benches were complete, there were a few animal skins hanging on the walls, and two bent bows. Zhang Xuanqing even noticed that there was an unfinished piece of clothing on one chair, and a needle and thread basket was placed on the table next to it.

Looking around the room for a while, he couldn't help but frown.
