Chapter 6 Chapter 5 The Nightmare Recounted

At 8:15 in the morning, the dazzling sun is scorching hot, insatiably sucking moisture from everything it touches. At this moment, Su Ya made a decision that would affect her life - to investigate the truth of the death bell.Whether it's a man-made event or a supernatural phenomenon, she just wants a clear result. After visiting her sister, Su Ya went back to medical school.Standing in the shadow of the girls' dormitory, she squinted her eyes, looked up at the deep and boundless sky, and suddenly felt many tragic feelings in her heart. Su Ya walked into the girls' dormitory, the dormitory where her younger sister Su Shu lived.

In the hall of the dormitory, Xiao Yao was wearing pajamas and was browsing trendy clothes on the Internet. His long black hair was scattered casually, dancing without wind, like a black rose blooming after the rain.She was too focused on admiring those colorful and trendy clothes in different styles, so she didn't notice Su Ya's entry at all. Su Ya quietly stood behind the little demon, peeped at it for a while, then quietly walked away to the water room. There was the sound of water flowing in the water room, and Shen Jiayue was washing her face. She closed her eyes and applied some skin care products on her face, turning her originally exquisite and lovely face into gray and white ones, like a clown in a circus.Su Ya sneered, why are there so many fools who like to use those seriously polluting chemical products, delusional to make their skin look like a movie star's radiant rosy effect, but they don't know that it's just the credit of the camera lens, many movies Celebrities even look uglier than ordinary people after removing makeup.

Out of the water room, turned into the bedroom.Xing Xing was lazily lying on the bed, reading a book engrossed, from time to time he pursed his lips and smiled knowingly.These days, it is very difficult to see female college students who like to watch. Su Ya walked around the dormitory, but Xiao Yao, Shen Jiayue, and Xing Xing didn't even notice her coming.It would be hard to believe that my sister was murdered by these three girls who didn't seem to have much scheming. It wasn't until Shen Jiayue finished washing and walked out of the water room that she found Su Ya: "Hey, who are you looking for?"

"Are you Shen Jiayue?" "Yes, you're looking for me?" Shen Jiayue scratched her head, looked Su Ya up and down several times, "But, I haven't seen you before!" Su Ya ignored Shen Jiayue, and said to the surprised little demon, "You are a little demon!" The little demon nodded, but didn't speak, the surprise on his face grew even bigger. "Then, you are a star when you are lying on the bed?" "Yes, hello, what's the matter?" Although Xing Xing didn't know who Su Ya was, he still greeted her politely. "Don't look at me like that. Yes, you haven't seen me before, and I haven't seen you either. My name is Su Ya, and I'm Su Shu's sister. I read her diary and know that she and Xiao Yao, Xing Xing, and Shen Jiayue live in the same dormitory."

Shen Jiayue still didn't understand: "But, since you haven't met us, how do you know that I'm Shen Jiayue, she's a little demon, she's a star, and you didn't recognize any of them?" Su Ya didn't answer, but just smiled, full of confidence and pride. The little demon sighed softly: "Although she hasn't met us, Su Shu's diary must have mentioned us. She read Su Shu's diary, guessed our character from the things recorded in the diary, and then checked the number, of course not. I will admit my mistake." Su Ya's eyes showed approval: "It's still Xiaoyao who is considerate, no wonder he can handle many suitors with ease."

These words were sarcasm, and the little demon was speechless. Xing Xing was not in the mood to listen to these, and asked: "How is Su Shu doing now?" As soon as Su Shu was mentioned, Su Ya felt a little sad, and said sadly: "Still in a deep coma, it is very likely that she will become a vegetable." "Ah!" sighed the stars, very sad. Shen Jiayue looked left and right at Su Ya: "Are you really Su Shu's sister? Why haven't I heard her mention it? You are the talented girl Su Ya who lives in the girls' dormitory in 441?" "Yes. I have been separated from my sister since I was a child, and I only found her after she had an accident." Su Ya paused, as if she was thinking, "From today onwards, I will live in this dormitory and sleep on my sister's bed. Do you have any opinions?"

The three girls looked at Su Ya in unison, each with strange eyes. Su Ya didn't intend to ask for their opinions. After speaking, she simply tidied up her sister's bed, and left proudly under the gaze of the three girls. After leaving the girls' dormitory, Su Ya slowed down her pace and came to the Mushroom Pavilion in Moon Lake alone, sitting on a cool stone bench, looking at the rippling lake surface and meditating. Xiao Yao, Shen Jiayue, Xing Xing, and the three girls, there was nothing unusual about them.Does the sister's injury really have nothing to do with them?The scary ringtones that appear repeatedly are just my sister's hallucinations?

While contemplating, there was an inexplicable feeling of uneasiness, as if something had broken the silence of the Mushroom Pavilion.Su Ya quickly got up and looked back, and saw a boy on the side holding up his mobile phone and snapping snaps at her. "What are you doing?!" Su Ya yelled at the boy furiously. The boy had dark skin, medium height, thick eyebrows and big eyes, and a simple and honest look. He was taken aback by Su Ya's appearance: "I... I think the scenery here is good, so I took a few photos..." "Really?" Su Ya was as cold as ice. "Yes." There was a hint of cunning in the boy's eyes, "Look, how beautiful the scenery here is! The lake and water, the small bridge and flowing water, the sky is like washing, and the distant mountains are like Daisy. It's just like 'This scene should only be seen in the sky. , it is rare in the world to see 'Ah!"

After all, the boy shook his head and looked intoxicated, which was very funny. Su Ya was very angry and said with a smile: "I have seen a lot of people who dropped their book bags. I have never seen someone who has fallen to your level. It is completely irrelevant. Open your eyes and see, the sky has long been covered. The industrial poisonous gas is so polluted that it looks like a huge lead ball, black and dusty, and the sky is as clean as the sky! Except for the concrete buildings that are taller than each other, where can you see the mountains, and the mountains are far away!"

The boy was a little embarrassed by what was said, smiled awkwardly, but soon became glib again: "Isn't this a literary rhetorical language, of course it is a little exaggerated." Don't you see, the water of the Yellow River comes from the sky and rushes to The sea will never return...' Li Bai has never seen it with his own eyes, so why not make it into a famous poem through the ages." "You really...well, you are so confident that you even compare yourself with Li Bai." Su Ya was completely defeated by that boy. The boy was still chattering, he didn't stop opening his mouth, he was chattering all over the world, making Su Ya's head hurt from the noise.Su Ya walked directly in front of the boy and snatched his cell phone.

As expected, there is a profile photo of her saved in the phone.Where did the boy shoot some scenery? He was clearly photographing her secretly. "How do you explain that?" The boy seemed more surprised than Su Ya: "Hey, that's weird, I was clearly taking pictures of the lake view just now, how did it become you? Could it be that there is something wrong with this phone? Well, it must be, there must be something wrong with this phone, I must Go to the shop owner who sold this phone and claim compensation from him!" Meeting such a person, Su Ya really couldn't laugh or cry, she was too lazy to talk nonsense with him, so she directly deleted her photo, returned the phone to him, turned around and left. Unexpectedly, the boy chased after him cheekily: "Hey, I haven't asked for advice yet, what's your name? Since we are so destined, why not make friends. My name is Dahai, and all my friends know that I am very forthright and loyal." Ling Yun is so chivalrous, he sticks knives in both sides of his friend, it is his duty to go up the mountain of swords and down into the sea of ​​fire..." According to Su Ya's past habits, she had already changed her ways to deal with this kind of boy who harbored bad intentions towards her, but today, for some reason, she actually had a good impression of this boy named Dahai, and let him chatter along the way.Perhaps, Su Ya was too depressed during this time, and this boy named Da Hai didn't seem to have much of a city. On the way, I met a boy who knew Hai Hai, smiled at Hai Hai and said, "The Prince of Lovelorn, you have found the object of your lovelorn again!" Lovelorn prince!A very interesting nickname.Su Ya secretly laughed in her heart, but she walked into the computer room without stopping. Su Ya sat down in a remote and unnoticed place in the computer room, and started the computer to search online.She searched for "death ringtone" on Baidu, and found a lot of information about Japanese and Korean horror movies, such as "Midnight Ring", "Ghost Call" and so on, which dazzled her eyes.Su Ya added "Nanjiang University" in front of "Death Ringtone", and finally found a related post.That post was published on the BBS of Nanjiang Medical College. The content was the same as the rumor heard last night, but it was more detailed.The post clearly pointed out that the place where the death bell appeared was in the ancient village of Datang, and the victims were four female college students from Nanjiang University who lived in the same dormitory. Unfortunately, the post did not mention the names of those girls from Nanjiang University.Su Ya checked it several times, but found nothing, and was very disappointed in her heart. Suddenly, Su Ya felt something was wrong.Why is the sea, which was always chattering beside her, so quiet?Turning his head, Dahai was staring at the computer in a daze, with weird eyes, as if he was looking at a monster. Su Ya was puzzled: "Dahai, what are you doing?" As if the sea had just been awakened from sleep, he faltered and said, "I didn't do anything." "Nothing?" Su Ya stood up, searched Dahai with eyes like a policeman catching a thief, and turned left and right around him, making Dahai mutter inwardly. "Hey, can you stop first, I'm dizzy from turning around." Dahai seemed to have done something wrong, and begged for mercy before Su Ya had an attack. "Tell me the truth, what were you thinking just now?" "I...I was thinking, how can a beautiful girl like you like to read that kind of horror story." "You mean, the post I read just now?" Su Ya changed her tone, staring into Hai Hai's eyes, and said word by word, "That's not a story!" Dahai smiled wryly and said, "Well, I guess I was wrong. That's not a story, it's a horrible incident. But, why are you interested in that kind of thing?" Su Ya was depressed, and she didn't have a good look at Da Hai: "It's none of your business!" Dahai suddenly smirked "hehe", and said solemnly: "The problem is, this matter is precisely related to me. The post you just saw was posted by me later." Su Ya's eyes lit up, and she asked eagerly, "So, you also know about the death bell incident that happened in Datang Ancient Village?" Dahai nodded proudly, like a victorious general: "Exactly, in the entire medical school, no one knows better than me." It turned out that Dahai was an authentic Nanjiang Datang native, and one of the four accidental girls happened to be the girlfriend of his roommate.His buddy was filled with grief and indignation because of his girlfriend's accidental death, and he was dubious about the death bell incident, so he insisted on asking Dahai to accompany him to the ancient village of Datang to investigate, but he returned without success. Su Ya asked: "Then did they really hear the death bell?" "How would I know." Seeing the disappointment on Su Ya's face, Da Hai couldn't bear it, "However, there must be one person who knows." "Who?" In desperation, Su Ya immediately grabbed Dahai's hand and held it tightly, making Dahai feel a little embarrassed. "The girl who survived." "Take me to find her!" Dahai is still hesitating: "Are you really going to find her?" Su Ya looked resolute: "Yes, tell me quickly, where is she?" Although Dahai was very reluctant, he finally revealed the address: "Room 402, Qingshan Mental Hospital." Two hours later, Su Ya used her father's relationship to ask the relevant leaders of the Nanjiang City Health Bureau to greet the Qingshan Mental Hospital, and successfully met the surviving girl. The Qingshan Mental Hospital was set up like a sealed cage, and the doctors in white coats all had stern faces, more like cold-faced killers in movies.Walking in the cold and deep passage, it seems that there is no end in sight.A series of iron locks passed before Su Ya's eyes like soldiers standing guard one by one. Su Ya finally met the surviving girl named Dai Xiaomeng. Dai Xiaomeng lives alone in a small ward, her long hair hangs down to her forehead.Her complexion is very pale, the kind of paleness that has not seen the sun for a long time.Although wearing a uniform mental patient costume, the graceful figure curve is still conspicuous as if it is about to emerge. "Dai Xiaomeng?" Su Ya asked tentatively, "Hello, my name is Su Ya." Dai Xiaomeng didn't seem to hear Su Ya's question, and sat stiffly in front of Su Ya, motionless, with her head hanging down, like a lifeless zombie. "Dai Xiaomeng, I want to know about the death bell incident in the ancient village of Datang." Seeing that Dai Xiaomeng didn't respond, Su Ya's tone became softer, "This matter is very important to me, please help me, okay?" Dai Xiaomeng raised her head slowly, most of her face was covered by long black hair, her eyes looked at Su Ya coldly through the gap of her long hair, then, she seemed to sneer, and slowly Said, "Have you heard the death bell?" Su Ya shook her head and nodded again.In fact, she herself didn't know whether the weird phone call she received in her sister's ward was the death ringtone. "You haven't heard the death bell at all, so how can you believe what I say?" "I do. Really, I believe every word you say. Please don't doubt my sincerity, my sister, who heard the death bell many times before it happened." "How many times?" Dai Xiaomeng yelled nervously, "How many more times? Once is enough! As long as you hear it once, you will definitely die! No one can escape!" Dai Xiaomeng paced back and forth in the ward, anxious and yelling at Su Ya from time to time, like the howling of a hungry wolf in the wilderness, which was particularly miserable.Then, her eyes rested on the sea. "It's you again? Did you bring her?" Dai Xiaomeng laughed strangely, with a strange sneer, laughing so hard that the sea's hairs were creeping up, he couldn't help taking a few steps back, and hid behind Su Ya. Su Ya was fearless, and met Dai Xiaomeng's eyes calmly.Dai Xiaomeng stared at Su Ya for a long time, sighed faintly, and sat down dejectedly. Su Ya said sincerely: "Dai Xiaomeng, I know that your family's financial situation is not very good, your parents are ordinary workers, and the factory is not profitable. You also have a younger brother who will take the college entrance examination soon. I have placed a lot of hope on you, but you are now locked up here and cannot go out. I want to know about the death ring incident, and I also want to find out the truth so that you can leave here as soon as possible. I really need your help, please believe me .” After being silent for a long time, Dai Xiaomeng finally relaxed: "For me, this incident is a nightmare that I will never be able to get rid of. Everyone, teachers, classmates, and the police, all don't believe what I say. Since you want to listen, I'll just tell you as a bizarre horror story." Dai Xiaomeng lowered her head slowly, closed her eyes, and began to talk about the nightmare she had experienced. Where do things start?Thinking back now, life is actually a very fragile thing, like a speck of dust, insignificant in the vast universe.My friends, right in front of my eyes, died mysteriously one by one. Before they died, everyone answered the death ringtone from their mobile phone.I know that no one will believe these things.Teachers, classmates, friends, relatives, policemen, reporters, doctors, etc., all people, those who know me and those who don't know me, say that I am crazy.So, I was locked up in a mental hospital, where I sat in a dark corner every day, living like a walking dead.Every night, before I go to sleep, I pray that the sun will rise as usual tomorrow, so that I can reach out and feel those golden sunshine with dazzling colors when I wake up. In the evening before "May 1st", the sun was so colorful, and everyone was bright and moving under the reflection of the setting sun.This dusk is not much different from the more than 6,000 dusks I have experienced in my life, except for Zhou Ruirui's beautiful-looking suggestion. Zhou Ruirui suggested that during the "May 1st" period, everyone should go to the ancient village of Datang together.An uncle of hers built a small villa nearby. The water, electricity, kitchen and bathroom are all renovated, and all the appliances and furniture are available. The whole villa is antique and can be used as a base camp for vacation.In the past, I heard from Zhou Ruirui that Datang is an ancient cultural town with a long history. Famous, unique flavor, long-standing reputation. Zhao Yiting was the first to jump out and respond.She had a conflict with her boyfriend recently, so she just took this opportunity to go out to relax, and by the way, give a cold treatment to her relationship with her boyfriend.Zhang Yuxuan was originally a travel enthusiast. She said in her dormitory more than once that her biggest dream in this life is to travel around the world with her lover and visit all the places of interest in the world. Actually, I didn't want to go.I like to be quiet and not active, and I have always had a natural immunity to travel.But seeing that they are all so active, I don't want to be disappointed.So, on that usual evening, we decided to go to Datang Ancient Village together the next day.At that time, I didn't think that such a trivial and hasty decision would make us fall into the abyss and never turn over! After more than two hours of driving from the urban area, we arrived at Datang Town when the sun became unbearably hot.Unlike imagination, the scenery in Datang Town is not good.The buildings of the whole town are built around a pond, which is said to be the origin of the name of Datang Town.The pond is not big, there is a small piece of flat land in the middle, and only a narrow dirt road connects it to the outside world, which has the flavor of an isolated island.Occasionally, there can be a few pleasant sounds of hammering iron from the isolated island in the pond, but it is not very loud.The most unbearable thing is that the water in this pond is seriously polluted, dark in color, and filled with a rotten smell. When we were eating, we went to the kitchen of the restaurant to have a look, and the sanitary conditions were not bad.The villagers now do not use pond water for a long time, but use the well water in front of the gate and behind the yard, which is cool and transparent.The owner is a very talkative middle-aged man. When ordering, he strongly recommended their Dongpo pork and Qingming wine, and told us the allusions of Dongpo meat and Qingming wine vividly. Legend has it that Su Dongpo, a famous scholar in the Song Dynasty, traveled to famous mountains and rivers and came to Datang. When the weather was hot, he took a rest under a big camphor tree by the roadside and met an elderly couple holding a sick child, their faces were full of sorrow.Su Dongpo knew medicine. After careful inspection, he concluded that he was suffering from severe heat stroke. He picked off a handful of camphor tree leaves, rubbed out water, and gave the sick child to take it. The sick child was quickly cured.The couple were very grateful, bought pork, and asked the husband what kind of meat he likes to eat.Su Dongpo was reading a book at that time, and it happened that there was a poem in the book that "grass wears the body and smells delicious", so he said casually, eat meat tied with grass.The host returned to the kitchen, cut the meat into squares, stacked them into a thick pile of cubes, tied them with grass, mixed them with salt and fennel, put them in a pot covered with grass, added enough water at one time, and used Bring to a simmer.Su Dongpo ate the meat and was full of praise.Early the next morning, Su Dongpo wrote two sentences, "The host's kindness is hard to turn down, and Dongpo left without saying goodbye", and pressed it on the table with silver ingots.The couple saw the message on the paper, and Fang knew that Mr. Su Dongpo was.Since then, people have called the meat made in this way Dongpo meat. Soon, the owner brought Dongpo meat, filled with a strong aroma of grass, which made the index finger move.If you look closely, it's just a piece of pork tied with grass, and it's still mostly fat, shining with oil.Pick it apart with chopsticks, the lean meat will be in strips, the fatty meat will be oily but not greasy, and it will be fragrant and refreshing after the entrance, with a special flavor.We didn't want to eat more at first because we were afraid it would be too greasy, but the taste was really mellow, so we didn't pay attention when we ate it, and we finished a plate with three or two strokes. A small bottle of Qingming wine was also served. It was said to be red wine, but the color was quite different from ordinary red wine.Ordinary red wine is very light in color and translucent.However, the color of Qingming wine is dark red, and it is more black, a little cloudy, and it doesn't look amazing at first glance. Seeing that we didn't take it seriously, the shopkeeper smiled, as if it was already commonplace.According to him, Emperor Taizong Li Shimin of the Tang Dynasty visited Datang, and someone offered Qingming wine for the emperor. After drinking it, Li Shimin praised it greatly and named it "Datang Qingming wine" in his own hand.Because there happened to be a large pond full of lotus leaves in the local area, and "Tang" has the same pronunciation as "Tang", so, as time went by, people later called "Datang" "Datang" and "Tang" "Datang Qingming Wine" is called "Datang Qingming Wine".When Emperor Qianlong went to the south of the Yangtze River in low clothes, he passed through Datang and drank Qingming wine at a farmer's house. Long Yan was very happy, praised it as "Jinquan Yuye", and designated it as a tribute wine.This wine is self-brewed by the people without any chemical additives. It not only tastes mellow, but also has the effects of nourishing blood and beauty, relaxing tendons and activating blood circulation. Regular drinking can prolong life. Hearing the proprietor's amazing bragging, we couldn't hold back our curiosity and each poured a small cup to taste.The taste is surprisingly good, not as burning as liquor, not as refreshing as beer.This kind of wine has a delicate fragrance and sweetness, thick but not astringent, refreshing and lingering in taste, and you won't feel dizzy at all after drinking it. It's not like drinking alcohol, it's like drinking a kind of dessert. Zhao Yiting didn't drink alcohol at first, but she unknowingly finished a small glass of Qingming wine because of the quarrel with her boyfriend.I wanted to drink more, but the shopkeeper refused to give it.The owner said that he had hidden the wine for more than ten years.The longer Qingming wine is stored, the better the wine quality and the more stamina.I can't feel it when I drink it, but after half an hour, the strength of the alcohol surges, and I'm afraid we will get drunk and trouble. Sure enough, after eating, not far from the small restaurant, Zhao Yiting's face became flushed and charming, and her walking steps became messy, as if she didn't know how to balance, obviously drunk.Looking at the other people, Zhang Yuxuan and Zhou Ruirui were both a little wobbly and slightly drunk.Among the four people, I was the only one who was fully awake. Originally, we planned to walk to Datang Ancient Village and enjoy the spring scenery of mountains and fields along the way.But looking at this posture, I am afraid that Zhao Yiting will faint from drunk before we reach the ancient village of Datang.So, we found a Changhe agricultural vehicle at the head of the town and drove directly to the small villa built by Uncle Zhou Ruirui. The cement road is like a long white belt, winding and undulating, stretching into the distance.On both sides of the road, you can often see the section of the hill, with many pine trees protruding crookedly.In the depths of the hill, overgrown with weeds, the darkness is endless. Along the way, there was no one to be seen, and the whole mountain seemed extremely empty and silent, as if the whole world was silent.Occasionally, you can also encounter some more dilapidated Changhe passing by.The driver was a taciturn man. Although he was coughing constantly, he was still smoking a cheap cigarette, taking a sharp puff from time to time, and the wrinkles on his face tightened. Zhao Yiting was really drunk.Along the way, she vomited several times, and once she even vomited in the car before getting out of the car. A strong sour smell filled the air.She smiled apologetically at us and leaned limply against me. Finally arrived at the small villa of Uncle Zhou Ruirui's house, I got out of the car as if fleeing, and let out a long sigh of relief.The cement road is newly built and directly connected to the national highway.Zhou Ruirui's uncle was very business-minded. He bought the land from the local villagers and hired people to build this small villa privately.Once the tourist attraction of Datang Ancient Village becomes popular, he can use this small villa to open a hotel and restaurant, and he can make a steady profit. The tourist attractions of Datang Ancient Village are still under construction, and the original villagers have also moved out. At this time, Datang Ancient Village has no popularity.Standing on a high place, you can clearly see the strange building called "earth bank" in the distance.It is said that this building was first built in the early years of Daoguang in the Qing Dynasty. The whole building is composed of 25 large brick houses with beams and buckets. The outer walls are connected to form a whole. There are more than 500 rooms and patios, with exquisite and strange layout, simple and exquisite carvings, which are extremely rare in Jiangnan and even the whole country, and are known as "small courts in the south of the Yangtze River". We walked into the small villa and made a cup of strong tea for Zhao Yiting to drink.Zhao Yiting's mental state recovered after drinking tea, and she rested on the sofa, but never fell asleep. Zhang Yuxuan wanted to go to Datang Ancient Village, but Zhou Ruirui stopped her.Indeed, with Zhao Yiting like this, there is no way to go.We all came together, it's not good to leave her here alone.Anyway, I have plenty of time, so if I don’t go today, I’ll sleep here for one night, and it’s not too late to go tomorrow. Everyone is a little bored.Zhou Ruirui found a set of mahjong and suggested that everyone play mahjong together.Anyway, if you are idle, you are also idle, so you can play mahjong if you have nothing to do.When Zhao Yiting heard playing mahjong, she forced herself to sit in front of the table. The bet is a bit special, the person who loses the most in a lap must honestly answer a question of the person who wins the most.In the first hand, Zhao Yiting misread the card and bluffed.After one lap, the person who won the most was Zhang Yuxuan.Instead, she simply asked Zhao Yiting, have you ever slept with your boyfriend. Zhao Yiting's answer was straightforward, yes.Zhang Yuxuan continued to ask, how do you feel?Zhao Yiting stared at Zhang Yuxuan, smirked a few times, and said, you really think I'm drunk, this is the second question, wait until you win. Continuing the war, Zhao Yiting began to change her luck, and played several times in a row.All three of us lost. Coincidentally, Zhang Yuxuan lost the most.Zhao Yiting's question is also very tricky - are you frigid?Zhang Yuxuan gave Zhao Yiting a hard look - so what? We were typing, and suddenly Zhao Yiting's cell phone rang sharply, which startled us.I wondered in my heart when Zhao Yiting changed the ringtone, and even changed it to such an ugly ringtone.Unexpectedly, Zhao Yiting's reaction was the same as ours, she screamed and stood up abruptly. After a while, Zhao Yiting seemed to wake up, opened the handbag, and looked at the mobile phone in the bag with some disbelief. I asked her, what's wrong?Zhao Yiting shook her head, picked up the phone hesitantly, and opened the flip to answer.There was no voice coming from the phone, but a strange ringing sound.Why do you say weird?Because ordinary mobile phone ringtones always make people feel light and pleasant, but the ringtone of Zhao Yiting's mobile phone makes people feel goosebumps inexplicably, as if the heart is tied by an invisible thread, beating with its rhythm. The volume of the ringtone is low, but it reaches my eardrums clearly.Music is the common language of mankind and the communication of souls.But this ringtone made me feel so depressed that I was suffocated and speechless, very uncomfortable.I suddenly thought of the famous murder song "Black Friday" called "The Devil's Invitation".It is said that more than a hundred people have committed suicide successively because of this magic song, which is taboo around the world, and almost no one is willing to bear the melancholy it brings.However, "Black Friday" is just a legend after all, but the eerie ringtones from Zhao Yiting's cell phone really poured into my eardrums.Some strange scenes began to appear in my mind: hungry children, plague-stricken corpses, white cloth strips hanging on tombstones, dying patients, wild dogs biting corpses, old and skinny old people, fragmented bones... Where is the pleasant music, it is clearly a dead ghost telling you all kinds of pain in life, covering your heart layer by layer, making you breathless.Despair, melancholy, pain, confusion, and irritability all gushed out at once, filling every nerve ending in you. I don't have a deep study of music, but I can feel the spiritual shock brought by that weird ringtone.The tolerance of suffering, the peace of death, and the obsession with sadness seem to have been seducing my soul.Even I have this terrible feeling, let alone Zhao Yiting who is closer to the phone and can hear more clearly.What's more, Zhao Yiting is having conflicts with her boyfriend, her heart is already fragile, and the depression she is enduring is even deeper. I covered my ears and took a few steps back to reduce the influence of the eerie ringtone on me.Looking back and looking around, Zhou Ruirui and Zhang Yuxuan's faces were cloudy and uncertain, and they were both a little out of their minds. I yelled, turn off the phone!Zhao Yiting turned a deaf ear to it, as if she didn't hear my cry at all, two lines of tears welled up in her eyes, and slowly slid down.It seems that her mood has been completely captured by the weird ringtone, and she can't hear other sounds at all. At that time, I didn't care too much, I rushed up, snatched her mobile phone and threw it out.The phone drew a beautiful arc in the air, fell to the wall, and the ringing stopped abruptly. Only then did Zhao Yiting come back to her senses, stared at me blankly, then turned her head to look at the phone that fell on the ground, sighed softly, walked over to pick up the phone, and walked into the room to rest without a word. Mahjong, of course, can't be played.Everyone, with their own concerns, bowed their heads in silence.The atmosphere in the small villa became heavy, everyone seemed to be a liar who had been seen through by others, their faces were ashen and depressed. Just like that, all three of us sat there in silence. After an unknown amount of time, there came a sudden scream, sharp and ear-piercing, like a prisoner executed by Ling Chi, full of fear, vaguely Zhao Yiting's voice. The screaming soon ceased.Yes, it was not a stop, but an interruption. There was no lingering sound at all, as if the throat had been cut suddenly in the scream. Zhang Yuxuan looked at us in shock, curled up into a ball, trembling uncontrollably.Zhou Ruirui was better than her. Although her face was still pale and her eyes were still confused, she still called weakly: "Zhao Yiting, are you okay?" Did not hear Zhao Yiting's answer.The three people, you looked at me, I looked at you, looked at each other, each found panic in the other's eyes, and the atmosphere became heavy. It seems that more than ten seconds have passed, but it seems that centuries have passed.Sitting here and waiting is not the solution to the problem after all.I don't know where the courage came from. I took a long breath, stood up abruptly, walked to the door of Zhao Yiting's room, knocked on the door, and asked, "Zhao Yiting, I'm Dai Xiaomeng. What happened?" The room was very quiet, only slight rustling sounds could be heard, which didn't seem to be made by humans, but more like the sound of mice crawling.Despite the beating in my heart, I gently pushed the door open. Then, I saw Zhao Yiting.She squatted in the corner of the room farthest from the door, covered her mouth with both hands, and looked at me in horror.The rustling sound came from her trembling against the corner of the wall.At this time, she made people look sad. I quickly scanned the room and found nothing unusual.The windows were closed, the beds were neat and clean, and there was nowhere to hide in a small room of more than ten square meters.If you really want to look for abnormalities, Zhao Yiting's cell phone is lying on the floor, faintly glowing with fluorescence. "Are you alright?" I scanned the room again to make sure there was nothing scary in the room, and then I slowly walked up to Zhao Yiting and stretched out my hand to pull her. Zhao Yiting's hands were cold, and her whole body seemed to be shaking, shivering non-stop.Her lips were chanting nervously, and when she got closer, she could hear a word she had been muttering: "Ghost...Ghost..." Originally, I was already nervous enough, but when I saw Zhao Yiting like this, my heart was up and down, and I was on tenterhooks. I always felt a dark wind behind my head, and my legs were a little weak. I pulled hard, but failed to pull up Zhao Yiting.At this time, Zhang Yuxuan and Zhou Ruirui also walked over slowly.When I saw these two cowards, I was angry: "Why don't you come and help?" The three of them pulled and supported, and finally carried Zhao Yiting to the sofa in the hall.After pouring a cup of hot tea, Zhao Yiting was trembling all the time. She couldn't even handle the tea properly, and spilled it all over herself.In the end, she lowered her head, took a sip of hot tea, and became a little more emotionally stable. Zhou Ruirui asked: "What happened?" Zhao Yiting raised her face, her helpless eyes glanced at the three of us one by one, and finally stopped saying the word "ghost", but she pursed her lips tightly and ignored Zhou Ruirui's question. Zhou Ruirui turned up the volume: "You said it!" Zhao Yiting sighed, her voice was lower than that of a mosquito: "It's okay." After speaking, Zhao Yiting lowered her head and concentrated on drinking the cup of hot tea.Seeing the meaning, she didn't want to say a word. Since she doesn't want to say it, we can't keep asking.This incident, like a huge haze, is projected in the hearts of each of us. In the afternoon, Zhou Ruirui picked some vegetables from the backyard of the villa and fried a few side dishes casually.It may be because those vegetables have not used chemical fertilizers and pesticides, but they taste good.After the drunkenness subsided, everyone was a little hungry and ate deliciously. The night in the countryside comes very quickly.After dark, there were no lights around the entire villa, and even the ancient village of Datang was pitch-black, making it extremely quiet.Only those unknown insects were chirping endlessly. There are many rooms in the villa. Uncle Zhou Ruirui originally designed it as a hotel, and each room has a double bed.因为白天发生的怪事，谁也不愿意单独睡，四个人又不能全挤在一个房间里。我们挑了楼上两个相邻的房间，我和张语萱睡一间，周蕊蕊和赵怡婷睡一间。 有人说，月亮潮汐能影响人的情绪，所以人们夜晚比白天更容易多愁善感。那晚，冰冷的月色从窗棂的缝隙中投射进来，感觉自己仿佛置身于纯净的雪地里，莫名地就有些感伤，想念家里的亲人。 于是，我拨打家里的电话，一直打不通。拨打朋友的电话，也打不通。仔细看看，手机屏幕显示有信号，怎么会打不通呢？换成张语萱的手机来打，依旧打不通。难道是因为这是山区的缘故？可是，白天，赵怡婷怎么能接到电话？ 想起赵怡婷接到的那个电话，心里就发毛，背后直冒冷汗。世界上怎会有那种可怕的手机铃声？那哪是音乐，根本就是杀人的凶器！心理素质稍微差一点，或者情绪稍微低落一点，听到那种能让人心灵震撼、伤感到极致的铃声，想不自杀都难！莫非，那就是传说中的《黑色星期五》？ 张语萱也睡不着，辗转反侧，后来索性坐起来和我聊天。 “小梦，我总觉得这里不对劲。” "Ok." “你有没有发现，这栋别墅很古怪？” “应该没什么吧。”我嘴里这么说，其实心里也是疑心重重。也许，我真的不应该来这里。 张语萱缩了缩脖子，嘴唇凑到我的耳朵边，小心地说：“我总觉得，这里似乎躲着什么东西，在暗处偷偷看着我们。” 我心中一惊，原来，不止是我一个人有这种感觉。我想了想，说：“这栋别墅并不大啊，结构也不复杂，应该躲不了人。” “我没说是人！”话刚出口，张语萱似乎有些后悔，紧紧地靠在我身边，一双黑亮的眼睛四处张望。 “或者，有人在别墅里装了摄像头和窃听器？” 张语萱歪着脑袋看着我说：“有这个可能。” 我从床上起来，在房间里仔细搜索。我搜得很慢，一个死角都不放过，凡是有可能置放摄像头的地方都找遍了，一无所获。 半个小时后，我回到了床上，对张语萱摇了摇头：“没有。” 没找到摄像头和窃听器，悬在半空的心非但没放下，反而更加不安了。张语萱说得没错，我也有那种直觉，察觉到这栋别墅里，肯定不止我们四个人，肯定有些其他的什么东西跟随着我们。否则，怎么会接到那么可怕的电话，赵怡婷怎么会被吓成那样。 张语萱的胆子本来不算小，曾经多次一个人独自去外地旅游。但现在，她却忧心忡忡，坐立不安。 “晓梦，你说，这个世界上，有没有鬼？” 我白了她一眼，真是哪壶不开提哪壶。我本来是想说没有的，但不知为什么，这种时候，怎么也没胆量说出来。 张语萱看我没有回答，自己也觉得有些无趣，坐在床上想着心事。 我闭上眼睛，想让自己放松点。可是，和张语萱一样，心里总是无法沉静下来。是的，肯定有什么地方不对劲。一股强烈的不安袭上心头。 我集中精神，竭力让自己冷静下来，终于发现了问题所在。 “语萱……”我的声音有些颤抖，“你有没有发现，隔壁的房间里，一点动静都没有？” 我敢肯定，隔壁的周蕊蕊和赵怡婷不会这么快就睡着。虽然房间的隔音效果不知道怎么样，但绝对不至于一点声音和动静都听不到，除非…… I dare not think about it any more.因为我的提醒，张语萱也想到了。她的脸刷地一下变得惨白无比，张了张嘴唇，却根本没发出声音，竟然害怕得连话都说不出来。
