Before I could see my feet, before my eyes could catch a glimpse of my feet, a scream came from the front, with a hint of fear and trembling in the voice, as if someone had seen something that made me feel very scared. The voice was very strange, neither tall nor Erliang's. I was stunned for a moment and thought that it should be the sound made by the old man. I didn't know what he saw, so I hurriedly used force under my feet, and quickly surpassed Erliang and rushed towards the direction of the sound.

After running for about five minutes, I stopped. About fifty meters ahead of me, I saw a person lying on the ground, the old man I saw that day. The tall man squatted beside him, holding his long knife that never leaves his body, and the ground was covered in blood red. After all the things in the hypnotic world, my nerves have become much tougher than before. Although I felt very scared, I did not let my emotions get out of control. The reason I stopped here was because I saw the tall man holding an unknown piece of things in his hand just now, and after hearing the sound of my footsteps, I quickly put them in my pocket.

I always felt that the tall man was mysterious. Although I suspected that the things in his hand might have been taken out of the old man on the ground, which might have a great effect on us, since he didn't want us to see them, if I rashly wanted to ask, I was afraid that the knife dripping with blood on his hand would cut off at me. At this moment, the tall man had been positioned as a murderer in my heart.

The tall man stood up and turned to look at me, saying, "I didn't kill him."

I looked at the knife in his hand and didn't know what to say. At this time, Erliang rushed up panting and saw the old man on the ground, and screamed in fear: "Have you killed someone?!"

The tall man seemed a little impatient and shook his head and said, "I said that I didn't kill him. Come and see him."

He had a knife in his hand, was tall and strong, and Erliang and I were both out of breath just now. If he wanted to kill us, we would have no way to escape. We had to be careful to beware of the tall man's actions, while walking forward with a bitter face. When we arrived in front of us, I couldn't help but exclaim and said, "It's really not your kill."

The old man on the ground had no wounds, but a few fingers fell on the snow. The blood should have flowed from his fingers. This injury would never be fatal. But strangely, the old man was wide open, his eyes wide open as if he was about to bulge out of his eye sockets. It was very terrifying, and his face was pale with a hint of blue. It is said that this is the person who was scared to death because his courage was scared. At this time, Erliang also discovered something was wrong and said, "What the hell is going on?"

The tall man shook his head and said, "I don't know what's going on. When I arrived here, I saw him screaming alone. After seeing me, I was stunned for a moment, and then rushed towards me as if he was crazy. I originally wanted to use a knife to scare him, but he didn't expect that he held my knife tightly with his hands, and then suddenly died inexplicably. I don't know where an old man got such great strength. Even if he died, I couldn't pull out the knife. He broke several of his fingers with force, and then you came."

I don't know if Erliang believes in the words of tall men, but at least I know that the tall men are not speaking completely. I saw him put something in his pocket, but I don't know what that was.

Erliang said: "What should I do now?"

The tall man said, "Let's find a place to bury it. Anyway, no one will come here normally. Even if he comes, he won't know that a corpse is buried here." The tall man's words make sense. The three of us found a shallow pit and used a knife and wooden stick to make some floating soil on the corpse, and then found some gravel that could be found in the naked eye on it. Maybe when the heavy snow comes, the spring of the year will be full of green grass.

Erliang is afraid of ghosts but not deaths. He works very hard, but I am a little absent-minded because I discovered two things when I was carrying the body. The first is that there are only nine fingers on the old man's hand, and each finger on his hand has a wound or a break, which means that one finger is missing.

I remembered the tall man put something I didn't know into his pocket, I remembered the day Erliang told me that he saw the tall man holding something in a pile of bones and putting it on his body, I remembered the "Grandma of Wolf" written by Chu Jiangshan, and I remembered the chewing sound of the tall man's mouth.

At the beginning, I comforted myself that the tall man's situation that night might be a sleepwalking, and it might be just a coincidence to find the corpse. After all, this place is said to be "there are bones in the grooves and ghosts in the curves". However, when all coincidences appear on a person, coincidences do not become coincidences.

What does the missing chapter of Chu Jiangshan's "Grandma of Wolf" write?

The second thing I discovered was: I saw the shoes on Erliang's feet turn red.

I knew it was because my feet were touching blood when I was transporting the corpse, but for some reason I could not control myself and thought of the red embroidered shoes. I found myself starting to become suspicious and even a little nervous.

After everything was done, everyone was tired and hungry. Erliang didn't know what to do. It seemed that the preparations made before coming to Fengmen Village were all taken. I didn't bring any compressed food or anything that could satisfy my hunger. I prepared a lot. I guess the tall man should have it. Unfortunately, our backpacks are gone now, and the only food left by Erliang is not enough for three people to eat. The tall man took a small part of the food and said he wanted to use it to remove the bait to set up a trap to see if he could get prey. Erliang, I was half hungry, half full, tired and hungry. I remembered that it was dawn and I had to find a way out again. I found a house and started a fire and went to bed, so as to recover my strength as soon as possible.

In a daze, I was awakened by a crunching sound again. I instinctively looked at the tall man. He was sitting in front of the fire, and the fire cast his shadow on the wall. I saw him holding something in his hand and stuffing it into his mouth while chewing it. I immediately thought of the missing finger.

The tall man was chewing the thing while occasionally lowering his head to draw something on the ground. I quietly stood up and wanted to see what he was drawing on the ground. Maybe it was a little more dynamic. The tall man turned around suddenly, looked at me, and said, "Are you awake? Then look here, I'll go and see if you have any prey." As he said that, he wiped his feet on the ground, took a knife and walked out.

I guessed that the tall man had walked away, and hurriedly got up and walked to the edge of the fire. The things he drew with the burning branches on the ground were blurred by his feet and could not see clearly what he was originally writing or drawing. I sighed, and I couldn't help feeling disappointed. Seeing that the fire in the fire was getting smaller, I took a branch from the edge and squatted down and placed it on the fire. At this moment, I saw a word written in charcoal where my feet had just stepped on: "Three".

My eyes immediately shrank. This must be the words written by the tall man just now. He was so panicked that he couldn't wipe them all, but what does "three" mean?

I suddenly remembered what the old man said: "One can only live." Now that the old man is dead, there are three people living in the entire Fengmen Village.

Why does a tall man write "three"? Is he thinking about turning "three" into "two" and then turning "two" into "one"?

Erliang turned over and muttered a few words in his mouth, as if saying, "I don't want to die." Maybe he remembered the dead old man, but why did that old man seem to see something extremely terrifying when he died? I remembered a novel, which was also written by Chu Jiangshan. In the hypnotic world, Sun Jingye told me that Chu Jiangshan wrote a total of 54 novels, of which 43 of them became reality. Now I know that Chu Jiangshan may really exist in this world. I also remember those 54 novels. Among them, among which 11 novels that did not become reality, there was a perverted murderer. He liked to let him eat his flesh before killing the other party, or eat a part of his organs in front of the other party. Many of the dead were actually scared to death by this.

Could a tall man be such a person?

I remembered what Erliang said in his sleep. I didn't want to die. I burned the fire a little more vigorously, and then chose a hard branch and followed the tall footprints.

I didn't call Erliang because I think that only I can trust the most at this time. He said he didn't want to die. What if he also wanted to turn "three" into "two" and then "one"?
