As expected, Qin Qin's cell phone was not broken. She clicked on the video just now, but in the video, the river was calm and there was no sign of the girl calling for help.

Su An and Qin Qin looked at each other, Qin Qin said anxiously: "Teacher, I won't lie to you, I really saw a girl and two grown men!"

Su An paused, and said quietly: "Teacher believes in you."

It was only then that Qin Qin remembered that the teacher had also experienced such a strange thing, she felt some comfort in her heart, and quickly calmed down, "Teacher, this situation happened on my side, Zhou Hao and the others may also encounter danger, Shall we go find them first?"

Su An affirmed: "Go."

They walked to the river at the west end of the village, Su An looked down at the splash in the river, thoughtful.

Qin Qin asked in a low voice: "Teacher, what are you looking at?"

"The rainwater in Xijing Village does not fall evenly," Su An murmured to himself, "Look, the rainwater seems to be a little bit bigger by the river...I noticed this phenomenon on the east side of the river earlier. I thought it was due to the terrain, but now it seems that it is not that simple."

Qin Qin didn't notice this at all. She looked around and saw two sneaky shadows not far away. Qin Qin waved and said, "Zhou Hao! Chen Tian!"

Zhou Hao and Chen Tian saw them sharply, ran over quickly, and said in a low voice, "Why are you here?"

"Some accident happened," Qin Qin also asked in a low voice, "What's the matter with you? It looks mysterious."

"We found traces of car tires," Zhou Hao's eyes glowed, "There must be cars in this place!"

Chen Tian added: "There are two dents on the car. Someone should have started the car recently, but I don't know where the car was hidden."

If they want to leave here, they will have to walk for two days. In such a humid place, mosquitoes are a trivial matter, but poisonous snakes and poisonous spiders are not trivial matters.

Even if there are no large wild animals, they have nothing to eat and no equipment, and they have no tools to save themselves if they step into a snake hole when walking in the rain at night.

It's different with a car.

Su An asked: "Where does the indentation lead to?"

Zhou Hao's face darkened, "It leads to the river. The two of us can't swim, but we tried it with a branch, and there is no car at the bottom of the river."

Su An and Qin Qin looked at each other, wondering at the same time, whether what the two of them saw was also a hallucination?

Qin Qin asked: "Did you take the picture?"

Chen Tian nodded, and called out the picture for them to see.

There are indeed two indentations of cars passing by in the picture. Judging from the marks, it should be a big car. The trace didn't have a beginning, it suddenly appeared in the blank mud, and its tail spread all the way to the river.

The fact that the mobile phone can capture this trace means that it is not an illusion. Su An looked up to the other side of the river, but unfortunately the white fog was so heavy that he couldn't see anything.

What's on the other side of the river?

What's with this car mark?

The surrounding white mist is also very strange.

The white mist on this side of the river is light and does not affect the vision, but the white mist on the other side is thick, so thick that it seems to drip water.

It seems that only in the village, the white mist has dissipated a lot.

The four teachers and students, who were at a loss, returned home and made lunch with the rice noodles they bought from Brother Liu.

Yu Su'an and Zhou Hao didn't know how to cook, they were washing vegetables and lighting a fire, watching Chen Tian as the chef and Qin Qin as his assistant.

Unlike gas and electrical appliances, the stove needs firewood to start the fire. However, the firewood here was too humid, and when it burned, the smoke billowed, which made Yu Su'an cry constantly, and was extremely embarrassed.

After the meal was ready, Yu Su'an's face was already black and white, and his eyes were reddened by the smoke. The students couldn't help but look at him a few more times.

Teacher Yu blushed and said in embarrassment, "I'll go wash my face."

Chen Tian scratched his head, "Teacher is actually very young."

Although he already knew that Yu Suan was young, but Yu Suan's clothes were too old-fashioned, and the students would always forget his real age unconsciously.

Thinking about it now, among the university teachers who took them, Mr. Yu was really the youngest group.

When Su An came back after washing his face, the students had already set up the dishes. Chen Tian has been used to doing farm work since he was a child, and the food is home-cooked unique to his family. Su An eats it deliciously, and he feels more at ease than eating the food delivered by the elder brother of the villager.

Qin Qin talked about his hallucinations at the dinner table, "That feeling is very real. If the teacher hadn't stopped me in time, I'm afraid I would have drowned in the river."

She is still a little scared now, "The water covered my neck at that time. Logically speaking, I should feel suffocated, but in fact, I didn't feel any discomfort."

Zhou Hao and Chen Tian felt goosebumps all over their bodies, and Yu Su'an said with some relief: "Now you guys believe what I say."

Chen Tian nodded repeatedly, and said happily: "Fortunately, Zhou Hao and I can't swim, and we didn't get close to the river. But if there are ghosts in this world, they can still appear during the day."

No one knows about this question. The more Chen Tian thought about it, the more curious he became, "Teacher, is the little ghost you saw last night similar to the ghost Qin Qin saw? Could it be that the ghosts in this village are all children?"

Yu Su'an pondered for a while, and said, "The one Qin Qin saw should be a drowned ghost."

"Water ghosts ask for help. Ghosts drowned in water cannot be reincarnated unless they can find a scapegoat," Yu Su'an said. "Drowning ghosts can't leave the place where they drowned. They can only use various methods to lure people to drown."

"That is to say..." Qin Qin pursed his lips, "The girl who looked like me asking for help, did she die at such a young age?"

"Not necessarily," Yu Su'an sighed, and patted Qin Qin's head reassuringly, "It might just be an incarnation, Qin Qin, don't think too much about it."

"Don't talk about anything else," Zhou Hao coughed, looked at Su An, and asked with some expectation, "Teacher, is there any way you can deal with the drowning ghost?"

Yu Su'an said sincerely: "I don't."

Zhou Hao: "..."

After the meal, the four teachers and students slowly cleaned up the dishes, when they heard a faint cry coming from outside the door.

Su An looked through the crack of the door, and a long funeral procession wrapped in white linen was passing by their door. At the front are four old men, each holding a black square urn in their arms, and an old black and white photo stands on the box.

None of the people in the four photos was the young man Su An had seen in the coffin before.

The students also watched from the crack of the door, and whispered, "Isn't this village practicing burials? How come four people were cremated all at once?"

They still clearly remember that on the day they first came to Xijing Village, the village chief had a quarrel with the villagers because of the cremation of a corpse.

Yu Suan shook his head, the curiosity in his heart made him uncomfortable, "Is there any white linen in our room?"

Qin Qin was taken aback, and ran to the unpacked warehouse to search around. With a pale face, he brought a box of neatly folded white linen, "Teacher, there are three whole boxes of these things in the warehouse."

How frequent death must have been to keep so many funeral things in an empty house that has not been inhabited for a long time.

Zhou Hao distributed the white linen cloth to everyone with a cold face, "Let's follow at the end and see what they are doing. Cover your face and keep quiet."

Su An put on a white linen cloth and tied it around his neck. His movements became slower and slower, and he suddenly raised his head and said, "I remember!"

Students: "What?"

"When we bid farewell to the village chief in the ancestral hall in the morning, there were four people lying in the corner covered with straw mats." Yu Su'an licked his peeling lips and said nervously, "Do you remember? Brother Liu in the morning If the village chief has something to do, is he talking about cremating these four people?"

"So, I seem to remember it too." Qin Qin took a deep breath, "There seems to be a person in those four black and white photos. I saw him yesterday."

Chen Tian: "That is to say, these four people died today?"

Zhou Hao Youyou added: "Or last night."

The four of them were silent for a few seconds, their scalps trembled for a moment, they shivered, put on their mourning clothes, went out quietly, and followed the funeral procession.

The funeral procession was very long, and everyone lowered their heads. No one noticed the four little tails behind them. The four of Su An were extremely honest, listening to the conversations of the villagers around them with ears pricked up and mouth closed.

This team almost walked through the entire Xijing Village, and finally, the leader of the team buried the urn next to the old man's stone at the entrance of the village.

The funeral was over. The villagers went home in twos and threes. Su An and the others got together and exchanged what they had just heard in a low voice.

Su An hesitated and said, "I found something. Have you noticed that the houses in this village all have a high threshold?"

Except for empty houses, the houses where there are villagers all have high thresholds that reach the knees of grown men without exception.

Chen Tian said in a low voice: "I used to hear from my grandparents in my hometown that old houses in the countryside would have such thresholds, but it is rare now."

The knowledgeable teacher Yu said: "The threshold has the function of blocking dirt and warding off evil spirits. In the past, it was said that the threshold is to prevent zombies. Zombies are jumping and walking. Such a high threshold can not only prevent zombies from entering the house, but also keep them at home. When there are dead people cheating on corpses, block the zombies in time and do not go out to hurt people."

The three students gasped, and Qin Qin said in a trembling voice, "Is there still, are there zombies in this village?"
