Volume Four, Volume 13, Chapter 4, Mysterious Land
The rain still doesn't stop...
Xuanyin still recalled the girl's eyes.
She obviously felt great fear after knowing that her surname was Xiahou. What does this fear mean?
What she was afraid of... was it Minshan, a family named Xiahou?
After lying on the bed for a long time, she sat up and walked towards the door.
When she opened the door and was about to go to the room outside to take a look, she saw that the old lady was standing at the door!
"You...you..."
Xuanyin almost screamed in fear!
The old lady stood motionless at the door, like a sculpture, every wrinkle on her face was like a knife carving, which seemed so scary.
Therefore, Xuanyin took several steps back!
"where are you going?"
The old lady said this in a cold and mechanical tone.
"I...I..."
Xuanyin didn't dare to say a word.
"When the rain stops, I will personally take you down the mountain. Before that, you can stay in it. Don't move at all!"
After the old lady finished speaking, she closed the door heavily!
Then... Xuanyin suddenly heard the sound of locking the door from outside!
"Wait... the old lady... are you going to lock me inside?"
But... there was no answer from outside. Then, Xuanyin pushed the door, but she had no reaction at all and could not push it open!
Although this small room has a window, the windows of this window are embedded in the middle, and there is no room for an adult to go out.
In other words... she was under house arrest!
And... the old lady also said... she wanted to send her down the mountain in person?
Xuanyin returned to the bed and sat down again. She grabbed the sheet on the bed, bit her lips tightly, and felt a strong and strange feeling.
From beginning to end... it's not normal.
Yes... From that day, I accidentally took that photo...
She suddenly felt a little regretful.
In this way, time keeps passing, and the rain not only does not have any tendency to stop, but is getting heavier and heavier. Even accompanied by bursts of thunder.
"How long will this rain last?"
Now she hopes to leave earlier. When the rain stops, she can leave Minshan, right?
At this time, the door was suddenly opened gently. She quickly turned around and saw that it was the girl who brought in with a plate of food.
"That..." Aoyin walked to the girl and asked, "Why... lock me inside?"
However, the girl watched Aoyin come over and shouted, "Don't come over! Don't come over!"
Her face was completely filled with fear. Even her body trembled, and she immediately closed the door tightly. Then she locked it again!
"Hey hey! You... are you under house arrest? Let me go out!"
But the girl said from behind the door: "No... Grandma said she couldn't let you leave, absolutely not... Before the day after tomorrow, absolutely not..."
"Okay...I...I won't go out...I can just talk to me through the door, just through the door?"
I have been locked in such a small room, and under such a strange situation, no one can stand it.
"Say...speak?"
"Yes. Talk to me."
"Okay. But...but you can't come out..."
Aoyin breathed a sigh of relief, she sat in front of the door and asked, "Can you tell me... your name?"
However, when asked this, the girl outside reacted extremely violently!
"No...no! I can't tell you my name!"
“For… why?”
Why can't you tell the name?
Is this any special significance?
"I beg you... Don't ask this question... Are all the people in your Xiahou family like this?"
"'We' people from Xiahou's family?"
"No...no...I'm sorry, I said it wrong just now. Please forget...please...forget..."
She was in fear.
She... was extremely afraid of the people from the Xiahou family. Although she didn't know why, she was afraid to tell her name?
"I..." Xuanyin originally wanted to say that I was not from the Xiahou family, but it seemed too weird to say that. She is indeed surnamed Xiahou, and it probably has a certain relationship with the Xiahou family in Minshan.
Among the tombstones, the tombstones of the Xiahou family are typical of different types.
But... why did you have to erect a tombstone for yourself during your lifetime? Even people like her who were not born in Minshan at all.
"Will people in Minshan erect tombstones for themselves during their lifetime?"
Thinking of this, she asked this question that had troubled her for a long time.
"You... are from the Xiahou family, don't know this?"
"I... was not born in Minshan."
"Is that?" Then the girl was silent for a long time and said, "Yes. The people in this mountain must set up a tombstone for themselves at the moment of birth. After death, they must be buried in the tombstone. Even if they die outside, their bodies must be transported back to Minshan for burial. Absolutely, they cannot be buried in other places."
“Is there any… special reason?”
"I don't know... it's just that grandma told us that the people in Minshan do it."
"But, erecting a tombstone just after birth? Isn't this too exaggerated?"
"I don't think it's anything. People are destined to die when they are born. No one can never die."
Xuanyin was stunned. It seems that it is not wrong to say this. However, Chinese people have always been extremely taboo about death. Generally speaking, younger people are extremely taboo about death, let alone such an unlucky thing.
But... if his father died, it would be impossible for him to bury him to Mount Min. It would be impossible... Not only that, everyone living in Mount Min should be buried in a fixed cemetery after death?
Why is this?
If... after death, buried in a place that is not Minshan, what will happen?
She wanted to say this, but she felt that maybe the girl didn't know it either.
"Xiahou family...how much do you know?"
However, this time, it was silent like death.
"that……"
"I don't know what happened to the Xiahou family..."
"But……"
"Stop saying anything! I don't know! I don't know anything!"
Then, the voice slowly faded away. It was obvious that the girl left the door.
Once the girl talks about the "Xiahou" family, the girl is particularly excited. What happened that made the girl feel scared about the Xiahou family?
And your surname is Xiahou. Is this surname really of any special significance?
At this moment, she thought of the man in the hood.
At that time, she met him for the first time when she stepped on the bus to Minshan.
At first I just felt a little strange, why I always wore a hood, but... I became more and more concerned about it over time. There seemed to be some secret on this man.
That's not a dream...
The black marks appearing on the walls are not dreams...
At this time, a girl's voice suddenly came from outside the door.
"If... you are from the Xiahou family, can you help me see this?"
At this time, a piece of yellowed paper was handed in through the crack of the door.
"What is this?"
The girl said in a trembling voice: "This is something grandma has been hiding. But... I always feel something is wrong... Grandma, she was not like this before..."
Xuanyin touched her hand and touched the paper.
Then, she slowly unfolded the paper.
This is……
"What is this? Is it a... map?"
"Yes. This is a map. To be precise, part of the map."
"But... I can't understand this map at all..."
"I don't know what this broken map means. But grandma seems to attach great importance to this map, so she locked it up. She seemed to hope to find something through this map. I once guessed that it might be a treasure map or something. But... this map doesn't seem complete. The only thing I know is... this map may be related to the Xiahou family. However, this map has a very strange place."
"A very weird place?"
"Even if you look at this map for more than ten minutes or even an hour, when your eyes are off this map, you will not remember even any information on the map! And even when you look at this map, you cannot describe the information on the map in words to anyone!" (To be continued, please search for Astronomy, novels are better, updated and faster!
