At the beginning of this autumn, the air seemed dull, and the refreshing feeling of autumn could not be found.People in Chiban City complained in the dreary air.Such abnormal weather seems to make people abnormal.There was a girl who flew down from the 60-story ancient wooden building and fell into a puddle of flesh.All her colleagues said that there was nothing unusual about her before she died. After lunch, she smiled and told her colleagues to go to the roof to get some air. Usually, she often goes to the roof during this time; her family and friends did not find her. There was nothing unusual before she died. She didn't quarrel with her husband, nor did she get angry with anyone. She lived a good life.Why she jumped from the tall building, no one knew the real reason, it could only be attributed to the dull air.

The death of one person in such a huge Chiban City would not cause much commotion. The problem is that apart from the girl's inexplicable fall from a tall building, several other inexplicable things happened.For example, there was an old man who was watching a period TV series at home, and while watching, he stood up, his eyes stared, and he slammed into the TV screen, knocking himself out on the spot.Neighbors found him and took him to the hospital for emergency treatment.After being rescued, he woke up and asked the doctor strangely, why am I in the hospital?It confused the doctor, and also confused the neighbor who sent him to the hospital for emergency treatment.

There was also a four-year-old boy, whose grandmother took him to play in the park, and strange things happened.This child was originally very introverted, usually not active or naughty at all. Everyone said that this child was good-looking and did not make adults worry at all. His grandma often praised her grandson in front of old friends for how much she relieved her worries.But today, something unexpected happened.They were working in the gazebo in the park, watching some old men and women doing Tai Chi.Suddenly the little boy pulled grandma's clothes and said, grandma, I'm thirsty!Grandma heard her grandson say that she was thirsty, as if she had heard an imperial decree, and immediately said to her grandson, "Grandma is going to buy drinks, please sit here obediently and wait for me to come back."After finishing speaking, grandma ordered another old man sitting in the gazebo to help her see her grandson.The two old people said, go ahead, there is no problem, your grandson is so good, he will not run around.In just a few minutes, grandma bought a drink and went back to the gazebo, only to find that her grandson was gone.She was anxious, and she asked the two old people, where is my grandson?The two old people said, we didn't see him leave, why did he disappear?Grandma was very anxious, she said, this child is very obedient, where will he go?Then grandma and the other two old people searched around in the park, asking everyone, and everyone said they didn't see the child.Grandma came to the small artificial lake in the park. She saw a few older children playing by the small lake, and grandma asked them if they saw his grandson playing by the small lake.They all said no, they had been playing here for more than an hour, and they didn't see any children coming to the small lake.Grandma almost passed out. If the child is lost or abducted by human traffickers, how will she explain to her son and daughter-in-law.At this moment, a big child exclaimed, look, look - what is in the lake.They fixed their eyes and looked, wasn't that a child's body floating on the water?After the child's body was picked up, it turned out to be the grandson of the grandma, and the grandma passed out on the spot.This is really something no one expected.

In addition, another bizarre thing happened at the beginning of this autumn. There is a large chrysanthemum garden in the central square of Chiban City. The chrysanthemums in this flower garden are in full bloom. Red chrysanthemums, white chrysanthemums, and yellow chrysanthemums adorn the autumn colors of the central square.Every day, many tourists come to the chrysanthemum garden to enjoy the flowers and take pictures.It was a Sunday, and there were many more tourists on Sunday than usual.People watching the chrysanthemum garden came and went like a tide, and people tried to cheer themselves up with flowers in the dull air.At noon, a group of black clouds suddenly appeared in the clear sky, the group of black clouds covered the sun, and the sky suddenly became dark.People looked up at the sky one after another.People were surprised by the sudden change in the weather, and no one knew where the black cloud came from.The black cloud quickly spread to the surroundings. In less than half an hour, the entire sky was covered by black clouds. The black clouds were like a huge pot cover, covering the sky above Chiban City. The black clouds rolled like A heavy rain is coming soon.People in the square began to scatter in all directions.In such sudden weather, people forget to appreciate the beautiful chrysanthemums.About half an hour passed like this, and the sun appeared in the sky again. Those black clouds seemed to be fighting with the sun. The black clouds gradually disappeared in front of the power of the sun. Finally, a clear blue sky with no clouds appeared again. Above Chiban City, the air was still so dull.Many people flocked to the chrysanthemum garden.All the people standing beside the flower garden were shocked. They saw that the colorful chrysanthemums that were still bright just now seemed to have withered in an instant, and all the flowers withered at the same time. The color of a black cloud...

In this autumn, what other frightening things will happen?People don't know. Shi Ping, a female reporter of "Chiban Evening News", never expected that she would receive a strange call in that painful and angry late night. She didn't know who the caller was, and his hoarse and gloomy voice was narrating with one thing.The matter seemed to have nothing to do with him, but it was so frightening, just like the horrible incident that happened in Chiban City at the beginning of this autumn. That night, Shiping and her husband Shi Weiwei had an unprecedented fierce battle, even a bit bloody.The fight started over an unopened condom.In fact, Shi Ping and Shi Future's three years of married life has almost come to an end, and mutual suspicion makes them often quarrel.The condom was the fuse, which suddenly detonated their emotional crisis.Shi Weilai came home very late, and as soon as he stepped into the house, Shi Ping smelled a strong smell of alcohol.Shi Ping was a little excited after finishing a manuscript. She was sitting on the sofa watching TV. She glanced at the drunken Shi Future and said sourly, Shi Future, what are you doing when you come home after spending time outside?Shi Weiwei ignored Shiping, took off his coat, and walked into the bathroom.

Shi Ping felt dizzy for a while, and a black mass flickered in front of her eyes.She rubbed her eyes, and the TV screen became clear again in front of her eyes.After a while, there was the sound of rushing water in the bathroom, and Shi Ping knew that Shi Future was using clean hot water to wash away the dirt on his body again.Shi Ping's eyes fell on Shi Weiwei's coat, which smelled of alcohol. She stood up, picked up the coat, walked to the small balcony, and stuffed the coat into the washing machine. The wind was blowing from nowhere, and Shi Ping, who was wearing pajamas, felt a little cold. She hesitated for a while, turned on the washing machine, and took out the coat. The pocket, the left pocket was empty, there was nothing, she put her hand into the right pocket of the coat again, she touched something soft, her heartbeat suddenly accelerated.Shiping reluctantly took out the soft thing.She saw the thing clearly, stood there for a while, and then three words popped out between her teeth, bastard!Shi Ping really couldn't figure out which direction the wind was blowing from, but she no longer felt cool, and she seemed to smell a stench that made her sick. She didn't know whether the stench was brought by the wind or from history. The coat of the future.

Shi Future's hair was wet, and some of the ends were still dripping with crystal drops of water. He never dried his hair after taking a shower.Shi Future's eyes were blood red, hiding a murderous intent.He wrapped the towel around his waist and walked out of the bathroom.As soon as he stepped out of the bathroom door, he saw Shiping standing outside the door.Shi Future also stopped.He looked at Shiping in surprise.Shiping stared at him, her whole body trembling.Shi Weiwei didn't know what happened to his wife. He thought to himself that Shi Ping had gone crazy again, and Shi Weiwei didn't want to talk to her. He wanted to bypass Shiping and sit on the sofa to smoke a cigarette.However, Shi Ping blocked him, and Shi Ping's lips twitched, as if she wanted to say something but couldn't say anything.

Shi Weilai said in a rough voice, Shiping, get out of the way! Shi Ping remained motionless, as if she hadn't heard Shi Future's words, Shi Future was stunned for a moment. Shi Future repeated again, Shi Ping, get out of the way!You are sick you! Shiping remained motionless, turning a deaf ear to his words. Shi Future was a little angry, he raised his voice, Shi Ping, can you get out of the way!Immediately afterwards, Shi Weiwei pushed Shi Ping with his hand. Shi Ping seemed to have been prepared for a long time. She stood firmly, but Shi Weiwei did not push her. The air in the room seemed tense.

Shi Future became a little angry, Shi Ping, you are really sick, you, you are fucking dumb!speak! Shi Ping's lips twitched, her eyes were also flushed, and two strings of hot tears rolled down from their sockets.Then, she raised her hand and slapped Shi Future hard on the face.Then, Shi Ping threw the unopened condom vigorously in the face of the stunned Shi Weilai.Shiping roared, you fool around outside!What are you doing back home, divorce! Shi Weiwei didn't understand anything until he saw the condom that bounced off his face and fell to the ground. As usual, he would explain something, but that slap made his brain heat up, and a burst of anger burned in his heart. No matter how noisy they were, the couple never fought, but now, he was slapped by Shiping.Shi Future was furious. He pushed Shiping to the ground and said through gritted teeth, "Shi Ping, don't bully people too much, leave as soon as you leave, what's the big deal!"

Shi Ping got up from the ground howling, and rushed towards Shi Weiwei, scratching and biting him... The result of this fight was that both sides were injured, and Shi Weilai's face was left with bloodstains. Shi Future also grabbed Ping's hair a lot.Shi Weiwei didn't use any violence, otherwise, Shi Ping would not simply lose some hair.After the fight, Shi Future put on his clothes and slammed the door and left.Shiping sat on the sofa unkempt and unkempt by herself, sitting blankly, her pajamas pulled down from her shoulders, revealing a white breast, Shi Future was so infatuated with her breasts.Her firm breasts were softened by Shi Weilai's thick palms. Shi Ping sat silently, and the air in the room seemed to freeze.

After an unknown amount of time, Shiping suddenly heard a thud.Her heart immediately became alert, the sound came from the French door leading to the balcony.Shiping stood up, walked to the glass door, and opened the curtain that fell to the ground, but there was nothing outside the glass door.She opened the glass sliding door again and walked out of the balcony.She turned on the balcony light.She found a dead sparrow on the floor of the balcony.She was very surprised.Shi Ping picked up the dead bird. The body of the dead bird was still warm, which proved that the bird had just died. The sound made Shiping associate: the bird must have lost its way in the dark. He slammed into the glass door and killed himself. A gust of wind blew over, and Shi Ping really felt the cold. At this moment, the phone in the room rang suddenly. Shiping held the dead bird in one hand and walked into the house. She didn't close the sliding glass door, and went straight to the phone. Shi Ping stared at the white phone, thinking about whether to answer the call.The call may be from Shi Weiwei, usually after he left in anger, he would always call back and continue arguing with Shi Ping on the phone until both parties lost their energy.Shiping doesn't want to quarrel with him anymore, she wants to divorce Shi Future tomorrow. The phone rang relentlessly.Shi Ping looked at the wall clock on the wall, it was already two o'clock in the morning.Shiping strangely remembered the movie "Midnight Ring" she had just watched, and a chill rose in her heart. The phone rang over and over again, as if trying to make things difficult for Shiping.Shi Ping knew that Shi Future was actually not that strong. He was a cowardly man with a violent temper. He often regretted leaving home, and then called home. He would humiliate Shi Ping on the phone in order to get Shiping's understanding.Shiping thought, he must have called again to repeat those soft words.She really doesn't want to talk to him today, it's so boring.The phone kept ringing.Shi Ping had no choice but to pick up the phone.It was eerily quiet on the other side of the phone.Shi Ping fed several times in a row but did not hear any sound.Shi Ping felt something was wrong, so she boldly said, Shi Weilai, if you have something to say, you can fart!There was still no sound from the other party.Shi Ping put down the phone, the wind blew in from the balcony, Shi Ping shivered. The dead bird she held in her hand also gradually lost its temperature. She wanted to throw it away, but she held it in a mysterious way and stared at it, as if wishing it would come back to life. The phone rang again. hell!Shiping grunted. This time, without hesitation, she quickly picked up the phone with the other hand. Hey-- This time Shi Ping heard a man's voice. The man's voice was hoarse and gloomy, as if it came from a dark abyss.The man said, are you Shiping? Shi Ping could tell that this was not the voice of her husband Shi Future, who was he?Why call her at this time, she has no idea.She felt her body getting colder and colder, as if she was going to slowly stiffen like that bird. who are you? —— You don't care who I am. why are you calling me!What do you want to say? I'm calling you just to tell you something, and I know you'd like to hear it, it's not unusual. So tell me, what is unusual? It was indeed unusual, but it seemed so peaceful.Let me tell you slowly, but you have to be patient and listen to my narrative. Tell me, I'm listening. A girl died... A girl died?Shiping took the courage to listen to the strange man's narrative for nearly half an hour.After the strange man hung up the phone, Shi Ping felt that her body gradually turned into a lump of ice in the late night of early autumn.The wind kept pouring in from the balcony, as if telling Shiping some secret of the world. Shi Ping's eyes fell on the hand holding the bird's body, she screamed, where is the bird? The dead bird in her hand was gone. She started to search, she went back to the balcony, from the balcony to the house, searched every corner, but she just couldn't find the dead bird. Shiping was stunned. She couldn't believe that the dead bird evaporated, quietly evaporated like a cloud of water vapor.The disappearance of the dead bird cast a shadow and fear in Shi Ping's heart just like the phone call from a strange man in the middle of the night.She thought, if Shi Future didn't leave, would all this still happen? Shi Ping closed the sliding glass door. She drew the French curtains again. Where the wind outside the house blows, she simply can't control that much.How would she face it if the dead bird would suddenly appear?Is what the strange man said on the phone true?Are you going to divorce Shi Future tomorrow?Shi Ping's thoughts were in a mess.She hoped that she would fall into a drowsy sleep, but her pupils were wide open and did not close until dawn. The autumn sun is bright and warm, and there is an intoxicating sweetness flowing in the sun. It should be said that autumn is the best season of the year.Autumn in Fraxinus Fraxinus Village is not the same as in Chiban City, not as dull as Chiban City.But the autumn days in the Fraxinus Fraxinus Village became confusing under the sun, and fear quickly spread in the Fraxinus Fraxinus Village like a plague. In the afternoon, Fraxinus Fraxinus Middle School seemed to be sleeping.There are several male students playing basketball on the wide playground.From a distance, they only had movements and no sound at all.Under a tree, two girls sat back to back.The tall and pretty girl faced several boys playing basketball, and the shorter, average-looking girl faced the small river outside the middle school. On the edge of the small river, there was an old man herding cattle. Looking around from her side, the buffalo was grazing on the river beach. The buffalo's tail kept flicking, flapping the flies lying on the cow. The girl must not be able to see the flies on the cow clearly, but she could see it at that time. Or maybe she didn't think so at all. The two girls under the tree sang a local folk song, and the melodious sound of the folk song echoed under the tree.I don't know if the boys playing basketball heard it, and the old man who herded the cow didn't know if he heard it. Behind another tree, there was a man lying on his stomach. He looked towards the two girls, and there was an unpredictable light in his eyes.The fragrance and sweetness of ripe fruit are still floating in the sun.Those two girls sang folk songs very calmly, and there was a charming smile on their faces, that smile was like sunshine. Their singing voices are not loud, but they are very devoted. They were back to back, very close. They sang and sang, and suddenly one of the beautiful girls collapsed with her head tilted and fell to the ground; the other girl knew that her companion had fallen, and she didn't panic at all, she still sang on her own Folk song, after a while, she also tilted her head like her companion, and fell limp on the ground. The man who was hiding behind the tree came out and was exposed to the sunlight. He was a short middle school student with pimples all over his face.He ran towards the two limp girls.He stood in front of them, looked at them, and then yelled in horror, no good, Xiao Lili and the others are dead, Xiao Lili and the others are dead—— The boys playing basketball on the playground were stunned. After a while, they also ran over. Someone said, hurry up and report to the teacher! A classmate ran to the teacher's dormitory building. At that time, the teachers were taking a lunch break. A girl died smiling in the sun. This is what the strange man told Shi Ping on the phone in the middle of the night.Who is that man?After dawn, when the sun shines on Shiping's way to work, this issue has become irrelevant, even the dead bird that inexplicably appeared and disappeared inexplicably has become irrelevant.Is the sunshine in the city the same as the sunshine in the country?A question arose in Shiping's mind. The girl's mysterious death under the sun made her sensitive heart tremble. In the news circle of Chiban City, Shi Ping is not an excellent reporter. For several years, she has not written an important social news.Director Yuan of the Social News Department of the Evening News has always been disgusted with her. According to him, he hates Shi Ping.Shi Ping didn't think that she was weak, but that she was unlucky. When she came across a few good clues, she was preempted by others.She considers herself a very hard-working reporter. Although she has not accepted or written any important manuscripts, the rate of submissions is not low.Sometimes she can't tolerate Director Yuan's prejudice against her, and she will say angrily that it's a big deal and quit.That being said, if she didn't want to be a reporter, she really didn't know what to do. As soon as Shi Ping came to the newspaper office, she went straight to Director Yuan's office. Director Yuan also just arrived in the office, and he was hanging his long-tongued sun hat on the hanger, when he saw Shiping come in, his face was not very good-looking.In fact, in Shi Ping's eyes, his complexion is uncomfortable even if it is not pulled down. It is pale and slightly swollen. It must be because of excessive sex or staying up too late.Director Yuan has a lot of friends and has a lot of entertainment at night, which is well known in the newspaper office. Director Yuan sat at the desk and said to Shi Ping, Xiao Shi, what's the matter? Shi Ping frowned for no reason and said, I found a news thread. Director Yuan touched his dry hair with his hands, and said lightly, let's hear it, what important clues. Shi Ping felt dry eyes and a little pain. She said emphatically, Director Yuan, I didn't say it was an important clue, but that I found a news clue. Director Yuan looked at Shiping with distrust, and then said, let's talk about the clues you found. Shi Ping's gaze stayed on Director Yuan's pale face, and she said that a female student from Shuiquliu Middle School in Xixian County died smiling in the sun. She died very strangely... After listening to Shiping's words, Director Yuan fell into deep thought. During Director Yuan's contemplation, Shi Ping wondered whether Director Yuan would agree to go to Franz Liu Township for an interview. To Shi Ping's surprise, Director Yuan raised his head from deep contemplation, and excitedly said to Shi Ping, you should make a phone call to confirm and see if such a thing really happened. Start, dig out an in-depth report, and you will make a great contribution.Go ahead, before it's too late. Shi Ping looked suspiciously at Director Yuan, this—— Director Yuan said, hurry up, hurry up! Only then did Shi Ping walk out of Director Yuan's office. She thought, this is the first time Director Yuan talked to her so excitedly. Could it be that the sun is coming out from the west? Fraxinus Fraxinus Village is a mountainous area. It takes a car to reverse from Chiban City to Fraxinus Fraxinus Village in Xixian County. There is no direct bus from Chiban City to Fraxinus Fraxinus Village.Shiping caught the long-distance bus to Xixian at 10:20 in the morning, and arrived in Xixian at nearly 12:30.After getting off the bus, Shi Ping felt her stomach growling. When she walked out of the dirty Xixian bus station, her heart trembled for no reason.She always felt that there was someone following her behind her, but every time she turned her head, she couldn't find the person following her in the vast crowd.She found a clean-looking snack shop outside the bus station and ordered a bowl of shredded pork noodles. Xi County is a strange place to Shiping. In strange places, Shiping is always at a loss.Unlike other reporters, she always likes to call the local Propaganda Department for grassroots interviews, where important people pick up important people and send important people to accompany them. She is not used to it and will be even more at a loss. When Shi Ping got in the car, she wanted to make a call to Shi Future, but she quickly dismissed the idea. Although she loved him so much at the beginning, she wished to dedicate everything to him, even at the expense of her own life, but now She felt that she had nothing to do with that man named Shi Future.She used to think that loving someone would not change and last for a long time, but now she completely denied this idea at the beginning. If you eat a mosquito or a fly from a bowl of shredded pork noodles, it is a normal thing in Xi County, the most remote and backward mountainous county in Chiban City, and it is useless for you to complain to the Consumer Association. People from the Consumers Association will smile and say to you, what a big deal!However, it would be strange to eat a cockroach from a bowl of shredded pork noodles.As soon as Shiping noodles were served, she was very hungry and couldn't wait to eat them. When she was about to finish the bowl of shredded pork noodles, she found the cockroach at the bottom of the bowl. She was stunned when she saw the cockroach. After staying for a while, she stood up and walked out of the snack shop. When she got outside, she vomited wildly.A bald-tailed dog snatched it up and ate her vomit.People in Xi County love to watch the excitement, and after a while, many people gathered around to watch her vomit. They all seemed to know that this woman who vomited violently was a foreigner. After Shi Ping vomited, she stood there calmed down for a while and then walked into the snack bar through the crowd of onlookers. She found that the cockroach in her bowl had disappeared.She said to a very fat waiter, call your boss! The fat waiter said with a smile, we don't have a boss here. Shiping raised her voice, then call the person in charge of your store. The fat waiter said again, there is no one in charge in our store. Shi Ping had nothing to do with her. In the end, she picked up her bag and said to the fat waiter, "If you don't call the person in charge, I will leave—" The fat waiter ignored her, and she went to serve the guests at another table. At this time, a person watching the excitement outside the door said coldly, "Miss, you can't leave without paying. This is Xixian County, not your big city. There is no reason to talk about it here. You eat others." You have to pay for the face, otherwise, how do you go. Shiping said angrily to the man, but, but I ate cockroaches in the noodles! The onlookers outside the door burst into laughter. Another person told Shi Ping that it was nothing to eat cockroaches, and since no poison was put in the noodles, eating cockroaches would not kill her. The man's words caused another round of laughter. Shiping didn't care so much anymore, she walked out the door recklessly. stop! Someone behind her yelled loudly, and that yell was full of confidence. Shi Ping looked back and saw a man in white clothes holding a kitchen knife in his hand who looked like a chef. He was tall and strong, and his thick nose was terribly red. Just go people! Shi Ping turned around, and she asked him, can you just put cockroaches in the noodles of the guests? He said in a low voice, what cockroaches, where are the cockroaches, you are clearly framing someone!If you can find a cockroach in our store, I'll eat it alive. Shi Ping was so angry that she couldn't speak at this time. The evidence had obviously been destroyed. She had no evidence to prove it. Facing the store's scoundrels, she had nothing to do. She was so angry that tears were about to fall. In Chiban City, if something like this happened, the restaurant owner would have come out and apologized. I didn't expect this to happen in Xixian County. The kitchen knife gestured in front of Shi Ping, and he said, give me the money! Shiping was in a hurry, she said, I am a reporter from "Chiban Evening News"! He sneered, reporter, hum!Reporters don’t have to pay for meals, what do you think reporters are!Even the president of the country, you have to pay for the meal at my place! The onlookers outside the door burst into laughter again. Shiping was helpless, she took out 10 yuan, put it on the table, held back her tears, and rushed out of the snack shop.The person holding the kitchen knife shouted from behind, reporter, come back, I want you 5 yuan, how can you charge you 10 yuan for a bowl of noodles, this is no longer a black shop. Shiping said bitterly in her heart, it's no wonder that you are not a black shop! She had to leave the county seat of Xixian immediately and rush to the village of Fraxinus Fraxinus, where she couldn't stay here for a moment.She even had the idea of ​​returning to the bare board, but this idea was quickly denied by her.Just as she was thinking about something, the fat waiter at the snack shop chased after her. She stuffed a crumpled 5 yuan RMB into Shiping's hand, and trotted back to the shop. She believed that she would soon forget about the cockroach, and what she worried about in her heart was the death of that flowery girl.The death of a girl tormented her kind heart. Shiping got on a farm vehicle bound for Fraxinus Fraxinus Village, because the shuttle bus from Xixian County to Fraxinus Fraxinus Village was gone.Agricultural vehicles are modified means of transportation for soliciting passengers, which is very popular in backward places like Xixian County.The rear of the agricultural vehicle has been converted into a small compartment. There are two rows of seats on the compartment. If it is crowded, each row of seats can seat 4 people, and one car can seat 8 people.According to the driver, if there is a rush hour for transportation, 12 people can be stuffed into this small compartment for 8 people. It is hard to imagine how people can breathe freely.Fortunately, it is not the peak season now, and there are only 4 people in the agricultural vehicle that Shiping is riding on, including her. One is an old lady with age spots all over her face, she looks over 70 years old.She sat there without saying a word, with empty eyes and no expression on her face.The other was a middle-aged rural woman with a round face and deep-set eyes.Another man was a young man, thin and thin, with small eyes, but very energetic, and his small eyeballs were unusually bright. Shi Ping felt that apart from the old lady's demented eyes, the eyes of the other two passed her face from time to time.Because of the snack shop, Shiping no longer has a good impression of the people of Xi County.As the farm vehicle chugs toward the Fraxinus Fraxinus village, Shiping senses that the young man wants to talk to her, but every time his gaze falls on Shiping's face, Shiping turns his head away. After traveling on the national highway for about half an hour, the farm vehicle turned into an irregular gravel road. It is said that such country roads can be found everywhere in the mountainous area of ​​Xixian County.After entering the country road, it is uncomfortable to sit in the back compartment of a farm vehicle.Shi Ping's buttocks were shaking and her heart was beating wildly. She was worried that her buttocks would swell up like steamed buns and her whole body would fall apart in the Fraxinus village.She had no choice but to grit her teeth and endure the rough road of dozens of kilometers. The agricultural vehicles rolled on the mountain road, and the beautiful mountains and rivers along the way gave Shiping some comfort, but she was always thinking about the dead girl, which was a sad thing anyway. Shiping later There is simply no intention to watch the charming scenery in the mountains.If she came here to escape from her husband, then she might feel refreshed with the beautiful scenery of the mountains, and forget the hustle and bustle of the city and the emotional prison between husband and wife. Along the way, everyone in the car was speechless. Their quietness made Shiping feel suffocated. The young man still kept looking at her, and she still didn't want to talk to him, she had a line of defense in her heart. After driving for about two hours, the car suddenly turned off in a mountain depression. Shi Ping heard the driver in front get off the car cursing. He said, damn it, it's been a while, and the car has to turn off every time it comes to this place. The people in the car ignored him and just sat there motionless. When Shiping got out of the car, she asked the driver, how long would it take for the car to be repaired? The driver opened the hood of the car and was checking it. Without looking up, he said, God knows, it's luck. Shiping asked again, how far is it from Franz Liu Township. The driver's voice is very rushing, how far away?Is this your first time here?It's just over that mountain col, which is about 10 minutes. Damn, it's really evil. Every time the car drives to this ghost place, it has to turn off the engine. Shi Ping didn't talk to the driver again, she looked at a mountain not far away, the forest was lush on that mountain, and the backside of the sun was gloomy, she suddenly felt a cold air rushing towards her, her heart trembled After a while, at this moment, a huge floating cloud covered the sunlight, and the whole mountain became cold, and Shi Ping had goose bumps all over her body. The driver suddenly said to her, get in the car, it is best not to get out of the car in this place. Shiping asked him, why? The driver is very impatient, why are you so wordy, tell you not to get out of the car, don't get out of the car, why ask so many questions, I won't hurt you! Shiping was speechless again. She wanted to get in the car, but she saw a flock of flying birds. The flying birds reminded her of the dead bird from last night.Thinking of the dead bird, Shiping was suddenly a little scared.But her eyes followed the group of flying birds, her feet were attracted by something, and she stood there motionless.When the group of birds flew to the mountain peak not far away, Shi Ping saw such a scene: two birds fell vertically in the air as if they were hit by something suddenly, and the other birds screamed far away. The two plummeting birds landed in the forest and were never to be seen again. Shi Ping was still staring, her body was getting colder and colder, and she suddenly felt that something was about to happen to her. Shi Ping was dreaming, the rude driver had already gotten into the car, he had already started the agricultural vehicle, the driver yelled at her, Hey, city woman, get in the car, or you will be left here alone! Shiping woke up from her stupor, and she quickly climbed into the car. As soon as Shiping got into the car, before she could sit still, the car rolled suddenly.Shi Ping's body shook and almost fell out of the car.The middle-aged woman sitting opposite looked at her strangely. Sure enough, after a while, the Fraxinus Mandshurica village appeared in front of Shiping. It was a small basin in the mountains, a small stream flowed through the middle, and villages were distributed on both sides of the stream.Shiping saw that middle school, which was located in an open field at the head of the village without walls. She concluded that it was Mandshurica Fraxinus Middle School through the huge playground, because many students were exercising on the playground.From a distance, the school looked very normal, as if nothing had happened. Shiping felt a little lost. The most lively place in Fraxinus Township is around the township government.On both sides of the country road, there are several restaurants and small hotels. Because of the lessons learned at the Xixian Bus Station, Shiping dare not stay in those small hotels.She found the township government guest house.The township government building is newly built, somewhat grand, and decently representing that it is the highest local authority.The township government guest house is old.The township government guest house is a two-storey building, which looks old. It is an old-fashioned building with a brick and wood structure. The stairs and floors are made of wood, and they rattle when walking on it. The guest house of the township government was deserted, and Shiping didn't know if there were any other guests here. It is estimated that few people came to this remote village.There are only two women in the reception room of the guest house, one is a middle-aged woman and the other is a young girl. The middle-aged woman is dressed in a foreign style, her hair is still permed, she looks a little fat, but she is also a bit pretty.那个小姑娘脸很黑，穿着也显得土气。半老徐娘叫李美凤，是乡镇府招待所的所长，小姑娘叫秀秀，是乡政府招待所的服务员。其实，乡政府招待所就她们俩人。 石萍在接待室登记后，李美凤就让秀秀带石萍上楼。李美凤把楼上东面最靠里面的一个房间安排给了石萍。 石萍在秀秀的引领下，通过长长的走廊，走向了那个房间，那个房间的门上有一个牌牌，上面写着三个字：214。 秀秀开了锁，推开了214房的门。一股子霉气扑面而来。 秀秀进去了，赶紧打开了窗。 她对皱着眉头的石萍说，小姐，这里的房间都这样的，很久没人住了，有味，打开窗透透气就好了。 石萍没说什么，她放下了行李，站在了窗前，从窗口望出去，可以望见水曲柳中学的操场，她在想，那个女孩是在哪个位置死的？ 秀秀对石萍说，我一会就会把开水给你送来。说完，秀秀就走了，秀秀走时，奇怪地看了她一眼，那一眼中饱含了疑惑和不解。 石萍转过了身，面对着房间，窗打开后，山野的风鼓荡进来，房间里的味道淡了许多。房间不大，就是一张木板床和一个衣柜，还有一张写字桌。房间的木地板以前用红漆漆过的，但已经磨得斑斑驳驳了，像一块块疮疤，房间里没有洗手间，要上厕所和洗澡，要到楼下的厕所和洗澡间去。 不一会，秀秀提着开水瓶没有敲门就走了进来。 石萍心里有些反感。 她没有责备秀秀，这毕竟不是在城市里，这也不是什么星级的宾馆。这是在乡村里，石萍心里很明自这一点，石萍让秀秀把暖水瓶放好后，对秀秀说，秀秀，在这里吃饭到哪里吃？ 秀秀显得有些腼腆，她不敢用正眼去看石萍，她说，小姐，如果你要吃饭，事先和我说，我到乡政府食堂给你打，每顿饭两菜一汤加一碗饭，收5块钱。 石萍笑了笑，还挺便宜的，你就每顿都给我送来吧，我要是不在，你把饭菜放在房间里就好了，我先给你钱吧。 秀秀说，先不用给钱，等你走时和房钱一起算。 石萍说，那好吧，你可以走了。 秀秀站着没动，她的两只手放在腹部绞在一起，石萍注意到她的手指很长，还蛮秀气的，石萍喜欢有修长秀气的手指的女孩子，那个死去的女孩子应该也有修长秀气的手指吧！Where is she now?天堂抑或是地狱？ 石萍对秀秀说，秀秀，你有什么事么？ 秀秀低着头说，小姐，所长让我问你，你来水曲柳干什么！ 石萍愣了一下，刚才在接待室登记时，她没有告诉李美凤自己是《赤板晚报》的记者，记得李美凤也问过她这个问题，但是石萍回避了她的问题。没想到，李美凤对这个问题还十分的感兴趣，还让秀秀来问她了。 石萍说，秀秀，你回去告诉你们所长，我来这里干什么并不重要，让她不要问了，好不好。 秀秀又说，我们李所长是个好心人，她是想帮助你，她知道你来这里一定有事，你又不是本地人，办起事情来不方便的，她老公还是我们水曲柳乡的副乡长。 石萍想了想，你替我感谢她，说我有什么事我会找她的。 秀秀这才期期艾艾地走了，看样子，她还有什么说的。石萍看着秀秀离开的背影，内心被什么东西蛰了一下，有点痛。她想，秀秀为什么不去上学呢！ 秀秀走后，石萍关上了门。她觉得腰很酸，她平躺在床上，想着这个采访从何入手。对于水曲柳乡村，她一切是那么的陌生，况且，她从小就生长在城市里，到农村采访，她还是第一次。是先去学校找有关人员采访呢，还是先去那个死去的女孩子家里采访？石萍要在今天晚上拿出一个切实可行的采访计划来，明天就开始采访工作。石萍没料到在这个晚上又碰到了一连串让她惊惧的事情。 傍晚时分，石萍吃过秀秀从乡政府食堂打来的饭菜后，就在水曲柳乡村走了走，也算是熟悉了一下环境。她不知不觉地来到了那条叫水曲柳溪的小溪旁，溪水清亮极了，小溪两旁的青翠的水曲柳树在秋风中婀娜多姿。 石萍沿着水曲柳溪，一直往东走着。她走着走着就走到了水曲柳中学的边上。学校已经放学了，操场上冷冷清清的。操场上有一种淡淡的伤感弥漫着，石萍知道，那是她内心的伤感。石萍总是觉得有人在她的身后跟着，她好几次回头张望，什么也没有看见。她想走进水曲柳中学的操场，这个念头很快就被她自己打消了。天渐渐地黑了下来，她必须在天黑前赶回乡政府招待所。袁主任在她临行前交待过她，这次采访一定要注意安全。 石萍回到了房间。她关上门，她打开了电灯，电灯的灯泡散发出暗红的亮光。整个房间里显得昏暗。不知是电力不够还是因为灯泡的瓦数太小，她管不了那么多了，只好入乡随俗。尽管石萍喜欢明亮的灯光。她坐在桌子前，打开了手提电脑，准备写采访计划。如何入手呢？石萍苦思冥想。她想起了昨天夜里的那个神秘电话，电话是从西县县城里打来的还是从水曲柳乡村打来的，石萍一无所知。石萍家的电话没有来电显示，她后悔没有在电话里问清对方的姓名和联系方式，如果找到那个声音沙哑的男人，也许她的采访就会变得顺利。 石萍偶尔回头看了一眼开着的窗户，窗户是一个黑洞，窗外的世界一片宁静。在这个乡政府所在地，石萍没有看到歌舞升平的局面。她站起身，走过去，把窗门关上了。关上窗门，她心里颤抖了一下。石萍重新坐在桌子旁，石萍突然产生了一个念头，这次采访是不是一个明智之举？她心里忐忑不安起来。如果她不和丈夫史未来吵架，不接到那个神秘的电话，或许她不会来水曲柳乡村，一切是那么的突然，又似乎顺理成章，仿佛是命运中安排好的事情，不能逆转。她甚至想，她的不辞而别，史未来要是到处找她找不到，他会不会着急死呢？她有些心痛，但是她一想到那个逼孕套，她心里就不能原谅史未来，她的心情就这样矛盾着，像生活一样，处处充满了矛盾。 石萍的心稍微安定了一下，继续想她的采访计划。 想了老半天，她还是觉得从学校的有关人员入手调查这件死亡事件。花了一个多小时，石萍写好了采访计划。她觉得松了一口气。她关掉了电脑，站起来，伸了一下懒腰。接着，石萍喝了一口水，水清甜极了。石萍想到楼下洗涮一下就休息了。 她把毛巾牙刷牙膏放进脸盆里，然后端着脸盆走出了房间，整条走廊里只有两盏电灯是亮着的，石萍走在这样昏暗的走廊里，像是在一条通向阴间的地道里穿行。加上木板吱吱嘎嘎的响声，石萍心里打着颤。石萍很难预料在这样的夜里，寂静的乡政府招待所里会发生什么想不到的事情。无论怎样，石萍还是自己给自己壮胆：有什么好怕的呢，你平时胆子不是蛮大的嘛，一个人也敢在深夜里看《午夜凶铃》。 石萍下了楼，洗漱间在接待室的旁边，洗漱间的旁边就是女厕所，接待室的灯亮着，里面还传来电视机的声音。洗漱间和厕所的灯也亮着，同样的十分昏暗，石萍走进了洗漱间，洗漱间里有种怪味。她把脸盆放在洗漱间，然后去上厕所。厕所里同样也有一股怪味，她不知道怪味从何而来。她刚蹲下来，就看到一团黑乎乎的东西垂直地掉在自己的面前，在那里不停地晃荡，石萍尖叫了一声，提起裤子就走出了女厕所。 也许是石萍的惊叫声惊动了正在接待室里看电视的秀秀，秀秀从接待室里走出来，问站在女厕所外面的石萍，小姐，怎么啦！ 石萍指着厕所里说，有，有…… 秀秀说，有什么呀？ 说着，她就走进了女厕所，她笑着说，小姐，你进来吧，没什么呀。 石萍进去了，一看，什么也没有了。她觉得十分奇怪，刚才分明看到一团黑乎乎的东西呀，怎么一会功夫就不见了呢？石萍就对秀秀说了刚才发生的事情。 秀秀淡淡一笑，也许你看到的是蜘蛛吧。 秀秀往顶上指了指，顶上有许多蜘蛛网，蜘蛛网上还挂着一些蜘蛛。说实话，石萍从来没见过这么多的蜘蛛，她真的担心蜘蛛落在自己的头上。 秀秀见她害怕，轻描淡写地说，蜘蛛有什么好怕的。 石萍匆匆地上完厕所，回到了洗漱间，秀秀没有走，她站在门外。 秀秀嘟哝了一句，你们城里人胆子就是小。 石萍没理她，快速地洗脸刷牙，她本来想关起门来洗洗屁股的，转念一想也免了。 秀秀还在说话，小姐，如果你要洗澡，我给你烧一桶水，你关上门就可以洗了。 石萍洗涮完，没说什么就回到了楼上，她在开门时回了一下头，她看到秀秀在走廊的那头站着，她看不清秀秀的脸。她开了门，用力地关上了门。石萍摸着活蹦乱跳的心，她自己问自已，石萍，你究竟怕什么呢？ 她的目光在天花板上搜寻起来，她发现房间里的天花板倒是很干净的，没有蜘蛛网，她害怕自己睡着了突然有一只蜘蛛掉在自己的脸上，那样她会吓破胆的。石萍的目光搜寻完后，确定了一下门有没有反锁，然后才上了床，她不敢关灯，这陌生的地方，她为了给自己壮胆，只好开着灯睡觉。 石萍刚躺下一会，她就听到了走廊上传来不紧不慢的脚步声。石萍心忽地提了起来。这个楼里好像没有人住，会有谁来呢？她突然记起了秀秀在她刚住进来时和她说过的一句话：你晚上睡觉时一定要插好门。难道有什么不妙？此时的石萍孤独而又害怕，她在这样的夜里，不能不想一些可能发生的坏事。脚步声越来越近，石萍的心提到了嗓子眼上。她不知道会发生什么样的事情。这个房间里什么也没有，她想找一件防身的家伙都找不到。 石萍赶紧起床，她不能躺在床上让人破门而入束手待毙。石萍听到神秘的脚步声在她房间的外面停顿了下来。石萍脑海一片浆糊，她不知道怎么办才好，房间的杉木门并不严实，只要一脚就可以踢开。房间里又没有电话，对，她可以用手机拨110报警，她从包里摸出手机一看，糟糕，没电了！这可如何是好，她在丈夫史未来面前是个凶悍的女人，可现在，她是一只柔弱的待宰的羔羊。 门外没有动静了，石萍想，门外的人一定是在考虑怎么样采取行动。石萍的目光落在了桌子上，她突然想到了一个主意，把桌子搬过来，顶住门，响动弄大了，楼下的秀秀就发现问题，她一定会去报警的。但她有一个假如，假如来的人已经把楼吓的秀秀先解决了呢。石萍越想越害怕，无论如何，她要先把桌子搬过来抵挡一阵再说，她不能就这样莫名奇妙毫无抵抗就被人收拾了。石萍走过去，开始搬那桌子。桌子很沉，是实木的，显得笨重。她搬起来十分的吃力，实在不行，她只好推着桌子过去。这样，桌子在楼板上的磨擦弄出了很大的响动。就在这时，石萍听到了敲门声。 石萍还没有把桌子推到门边，敲门声让她停止了手上的动作。敲门声很有节奏，在这寂静的夜里敲打着石萍脆弱的心灵。她呆在那里。她想，敲门的会是什么人呢？ 石萍颤抖着声音问道，是，是谁？ 也许是石萍因为害怕，说话的声音太细微了，门外敲门的人根本就没有听到她的说话声。那敲门声还是有节奏地继续着。石萍不知道外面的人是人还是鬼，她又颤抖着声音问道，是，是，是谁在敲门？这回，她的声音大了些。 外面传来了一个声音，是我，开门。 是个女孩子的声音。石萍的戒备心理淡了些，但她想到了那个死去的女孩子，她浑身的汗毛一根根地立了起来，她又颤抖着声音问道，你，你是谁？ 门外女孩子的声音又传过来，小姐，我是秀秀呀！ 石萍心里的一块石头终于掉落在地。她自嘲地笑了一下，真是疑心生暗鬼呀，世间本无事，庸人自扰之。她心里轻松了，笑着擦了擦额头上冒出来的冷汗，走过去，把门打开了。 秀秀局促地站在门外，她的手上拿着一个搪瓷的痰盂。 进来吧，秀秀。石萍心情一下子好了起来，她招呼秀秀进房间里来。 秀秀看了看房间里她移动过的桌子，满眼狐疑，她不知道这个城里女人深更半夜的移动桌子干什么。 秀秀没有进门，她把痰盂递给石萍，小姐，这个尿盆给你，这样你晚上就可以不用下楼去了，你明天不用管，我会把它倒掉的，这地方简陋了些，你们城里人一定不会习惯的，李所长说了，明年乡政府就要盖一座新的招待所，和城里的宾馆一样，房间里要什么有什么，洗澡也不用烧水了。其实，你住马路边上的旅馆就好了，他们的房间里有厕所，洗澡有热水器。 石萍接过了痰盂，说了声，谢谢。 秀秀站在那里，欲言又止的样子。 石萍说，你刚才怎么不早点来呢？ 秀秀小声说，我以为你睡着了，后来听到有响动，我才敲门的。 石萍又问，你还有什么事么？ 秀秀慌乱地摇了摇头，转身匆匆而去，她的背影看上去有些单薄。石萍似乎觉得秀秀还有什么话要说，但她也不想追问了，太晚了，她关上门，长长地呼出了一口气。 石萍又躺下了。她一躺下，心里就犯嘀咕，秀秀要和她说什么呢？石萍翻来覆去的睡不着。这样又过去了一个多小时。石萍还是不能入睡，这时，走廊里又响起了脚步声。脚步声由远而近，缓缓地抵达石萍的房间门口，然后停住了。一定又是秀秀。石萍从床上翻身而起，走到门边，她对着门外说，门外的人是秀秀么？ 门外没人回答。 石萍提高了声音问，门外的人是秀秀么？ 门外还是没有人回答。 石萍心想，也许秀秀听不清她的说话。石萍没有考虑别的什么问题，她把门打开了。她叫了声，秀秀—— 门外空空荡荡的，一个人都没有，昏暗的灯光在摇晃。 石萍用力把门关上，叫了声，见鬼了。 她的身体靠在门上，胸脯一起—伏。这回，她的确害怕了，她像陷入了一个黑暗的孤岛，石萍突然想起了史未来，如果他在，他一定会用有力的臂膀搂住她，告诉她，不用怕，可现在，那该死的史未来离她是那么的遥远。她不知道史未来现在和哪个女的睡在一起。他的心中已经完全没有了她。石萍的两滴冷冰冰的泪水落了下来。 她回到了床上，用被子把头给蒙上了，她害怕那脚步声在这个寂寞孤独的夜里再度响起。任何一个人的承受都是有限度的。可不一会，另外一种声音让石萍陷入了更大的恐惧之中。 窗外响起了一个老女人凄厉的叫声，莉莉，回来——；莉莉，回来—— 老女人的叫声不绝，在这个夜晚变得阴冷而绵长，那声音里透着一种鬼气和绝望。有谁会在这样的深夜凄厉地呼唤一个人的名字呢？那个叫莉莉的人又是谁？石萍大气都不敢出一口了，她希望这个夜晚赶快过去，黎明早些到来。石萍真切地对这次水曲柳乡村之行感到了后悔，她不知道，还会有什么更让人恐惧的事情来临，这毕竟是刚刚开始。 窗外的凄厉的叫声还在回荡，莉莉，回来——；莉莉，回来——
