The black eyes of those eyes are extremely large, and the whites of the eyes are almost negligible.

Seeing Xie Liuyi standing up straight and looking over, the person on the bed hurriedly got up, shrank to the corner, and asked again, "What are you doing?"

After death, the pupils are dilated, and the whites of the eyes are almost invisible. Seeing the conductor's eyes all black at the foot of the mountain before, Xie Liuyi suspected that she was a living dead.

After entering the village, there was not a single living creature in the village. Fang Ma Hua was sleeping soundly during the day, her body was cold and had no pulse. Xie Liuyi's suspicions were confirmed.

They are the living dead, just like the conductors.

There are many reasons for the formation of the living dead, two of the most common. One is that they become zombies after death; the other is that they are too painful to die, forget the fact of their own death, and walk around the world in the form of a living corpse.

Both require an opportunity.

The former relies on feng shui, and only extremely yin places can raise zombies. The latter relies on spiritual energy, and the land of death is full of spiritual energy, so that the corpse can continue to live in the form of the living dead.

Although One-eye Village is not a feng shui treasure land, it is by no means a place to raise corpses, and zombies will attack when they smell the breath of strangers. The doctor and Fang Mahua obviously belonged to the latter - the living dead who forgot their own death and lived in the world supported by spiritual power.

The living dead are photophobic, so they are nocturnal. It needs spiritual support. If the spiritual power is insufficient, the soul will gradually weaken, and finally lose consciousness and become a living corpse without thinking and reason, such as the not-so-smart-looking conductor at the foot of the mountain.

Xie Liuyi's guess was confirmed after seeing the tree roots with abundant spiritual energy under the square twist bed.

Even further, all the rooms in this village have such tree roots. All the villagers, like the doctor and Fang Mahua, became the living dead.

Find her where she works.

There are still many taboos in dealing with the living dead. The most taboo is to point to the nose and say you are dead. The living dead are generally glass-hearted, and are usually not aggressive, but once they are poked in the sore spot, they will never die with the other party.

Most of the questions Xie Liuyi wanted to ask were easily related to the cause of death of the person opposite, such as the root of a tree, or something that appeared in the yard of the inn yesterday. However, she is not a chatty person, so after hesitating for a long time, she finally chose a more conservative opening statement.

“How to sell twist?”

The square twist huddled in the corner was stunned. The other party took a lot of trouble to get into his bedroom. When he woke up, he saw the other party lying beside the bed and didn't know what he was looking for. He didn't come to steal something, but to buy twist?

Why? Has his Twist become so famous?

Jian Fang Ma Hua was stunned and did not answer, Xie Liuyi asked again, and added, "Is it fresh?"

I am most afraid of being told that the food is not fresh. Hearing Xie Liuyi's question, Fang Mahua immediately forgot about other things, nodded like pounding garlic, "Fresh, I made it fresh yesterday, and if it's been left for a long time, I'll just throw it out to feed the dog, I don't dare to sell it at the door. "

Feed the dog? Xie Liuyi raised his eyebrows lightly, how could there be a dog in the village? With that in mind, she asked directly.

"Dogs hide and sleep during the day, and come out to loose at night. They don't enter the village, they put things at the entrance of the village, and they take them away."

Xie Liuyi kept an eye out. Where does the dog come out at night, what is the dog in Fang Mahua's mouth, there is still a question mark.

However, the fact that "dogs" do not enter the village is a very important message.

"Girl... do you want to buy twists to make breakfast?" Seeing that Xie Liuyi was not a threat, Fang twisted a little bolder and said, "Our twists have all kinds of flavors, and the sweet ones are suitable for a single meal. Eat, the salty bubble tea is the most fragrant, and the oil tea next to Fangyuan B&B in the west of the village tastes good. I'm not advertising, we like to eat it ourselves."

Speaking of breakfast, Xie Liuyi remembered that there were still three meals a day. She hasn't had a drop of water since last night, but she's not hungry or thirsty at all. It seems that diet has faded out of her life for a long time.

But even if she doesn't eat, the people in the inn will eat.

"Sweet and salty..." She counted the number of people in the inn. To the bracelet I took off from the conductor yesterday.

She hesitated to take it out and handed it to Fang Mahua, "This..."

Before he finished speaking, Fang Mahua, who had been huddled in the corner, crawled over with both hands and feet, grabbed the bracelet, and looked at it carefully, looking excited, with his mouth open as if he was about to cry, But not a single tear could be held back.

The living dead are still dead after all, without blood or tears.

"This is my daughter's, Fang Lan, have you seen her? She hasn't been home for half a year, where did you meet her?"

"The ticket office at the foot of the mountain." Xie Liuyi replied staring at the expression on Fang Mahua's face.

Fang Mahua was confused for a moment, and murmured: "Then why doesn't she go home, is she busy with work?"

Work? It seems that Fang Mahua doesn't remember the death of her daughter, that is to say, Fang Lan's cause of death is the same as Fang Mahua.

Xie Liuyi asked thoughtfully, "What happened half a year ago?"

As soon as these words came out, Fang Mahua's face became even more confused, "Half a year...six months ago...my Lanlan went to work. Nothing happened, why didn't this child go home? What?" Having said this, he got excited again, knelt on the bed, and pleaded with his hands together, "Girl, can you help me call Lan Lan home? She's going to have an accident if she doesn't go home for so long, I...I I can't leave the village, I beg the girl to help me."

Xie Liuyi lowered his eyes, not looking at the old father's eager eyes.

Fang Lan was locked behind the ticket window by an unknown force, and was controlled by this force to attack them.

Xie Liuyi did not regret killing her. The living dead should not exist in the first place, and the soul trapped in the corpse is a kind of loss. Even if they can enter the reincarnation in the future, they will not be full of spirit after reincarnation. What's more, this is Fang Lan's own hope.

However, she couldn't tell the old father who was looking forward to the child's return.

"Okay." Xie Liuyi heard himself say.

"Thank you, thank you." Fang Mahua knelt on the bed and kept kowtowing, Xie Liuyi reached out and raised his shoulders to stop him. He suddenly remembered something, and reached out to open the drawer of the bedside table.

The drawer is full of red peace knots, which is more skilled than the one in Fang Lan's hand, and the finished product is more delicate. Xie Liuyi seemed to be able to see the figure of the old man knitting peace knots and hanging on the tree day after day.

Fang Twist eagerly rummaged in the drawer, the red Ping An knot was roughly pushed open by him, and some of them even fell out of the drawer. He didn't care about it, he just rummaged through it, and finally found a card from the corner, picked it up, wiped it twice, and handed it to Xie Liuyi with both hands.

"Girl, this is what my Lanlan used to put at home. They said they could take the ropeway for free. You can take it."

Xie Liuyi took it over and put on the card with four bright words - the annual ropeway card. Looking over it, the validity period marked on the back has seven days left, and there is no limit to the number of rides.

Unlimited rides...Xie Liuyi realizes the importance of this card. When they went up the mountain, they found the cableway ticket and took the cableway up the mountain. If you also need to take the cableway down the mountain to leave here, then the cableway ticket for going down the mountain is the key prop. Although I don't know what the consequences of fare evasion will be for the time being, in this weird place, who wants to try the law?

As for the validity period, it means that they must take the ropeway down the mountain to leave within seven days. Before going up the mountain, she noticed that there was no exit at the bottom of the mountain, so there must be some conditions within these seven days to leave the mountain after the trigger.

Thinking of what Fang Lan said, sinner... king... presumably the condition is in this sentence.

"Thank you." She tucked the card into the placket, afraid of falling out, so she tucked it deep.

If only there was a mustard bag, she thought to herself, suddenly stunned: What is a mustard bag? A few images flashed through my mind.

"The mustard bag is not safe, and it is safe to put things on the body." The man in black had a cold voice and could not see his face clearly.

"Master, just tell me if you are poor." This... looks like she?

Her head hurt again, she hurriedly stopped recalling and emptied her mind. When he returned to his senses, Fang Mahua was no longer on the bed, and there was a rustling sound from outside.

When she went out, Fang Twist took out a large grocery bag, lifted the plastic sheet covering the table, and was putting a lot of twists in the bamboo basket into the bag , That posture, I can't wait to empty the table.

Seeing Xie Liuyi coming out, Fang Twist packed the twist swiftly with her hands and feet, and said, "I'll pack a pack for each of the sweet and salty ones. This thing is very hungry, and the bag is tightly packed. Well, for a week."

The way the simple working people express their gratitude is so crude and simple.

"Why is it called One Eyed Mountain?"

"This is it," Fang Twist answered while wrapping a second layer of bags for the twist, "We have an old banyan tree on the mountain, which is very large. Experts came to investigate and said that the whole forest is actually a A tree. Later, to develop tourism, it was directly renamed Dumu Mountain, saying that it means a single tree becomes a forest.”

Dumu Mountain? !

But the cableway station under the mountain clearly reads "One Eyed Mountain".

"The wood of wood?" Xie Liuyi asked persistently.

"Really..." Fang Mahua had already started to put on the third layer of bags, and when she heard Xie Liuyi's question, she hesitated, "The wood that forms a forest is the wood of wood? I can't read, girl You must be literate."

Continue to tie the bag neatly.

Xie Liuyi stood there as if struck by lightning. According to Fang Mahua, the root of the tree under his bed is probably the root of the old banyan tree.

Animals, especially long-lived species such as snakes, turtles, and trees. Live long enough to give birth to wisdom. After the tree becomes a spirit, it will shelter the water and soil and the creatures living in the water and soil.

On this mountain, the living creatures Xie Liuyi saw, apart from the living dead whose souls were locked in their bodies, were only the kind of things that appeared in the yard of the inn last night.

Human face and long arms, black body and hairy, Ye Xi prisoner, named Mandrill.

The spirit of the banyan tree shelters villagers and mandrills. Originally, most of the mandrills hurt people are rumors, and there is little evidence. Many mountain villages can coexist peacefully with mandrills.

However, half a year ago, the mandrills became fierce and killed the villagers for some reason. The spirit of the banyan tree wants to revive the villagers, but the reincarnation of life and death is not something that a tree spirit can intervene in. In the end, it can only forcibly detain the souls of the villagers and turn them into the living dead.

This move seems to be compensating the villagers and allowing them to continue living in a different form, but is it not to cover up the sins of the mandrill?

It's like the boss of the family beats the second child, the mother wants to make trouble with the mud, but the end result is to condone the boss and wrong the second child.

Now Xie Liuyi suspects that the dog in Fang Mahua's mouth is a mandrill. In order to prevent the mandrill from preying on the villagers again, the spirit of the banyan tree set a rule that mandrills should not enter the village.

So what happened to the inn? Why didn't the mandrill try to enter the inn last night?

"Inn? There is no inn outside the village." Fang Mahua was at a loss when asked by Xie Liuyi.

"Next to the ropeway, there is a three-story building." Xie Liuyi reminded.

"That's not an inn." Fang Mahua's answer was beyond her expectations, "That's the staff dormitory of the scenic spot. There have been murder cases in it, and it has long been abandoned."
