"There are not many residents in this village. I looked around and found that lots of houses have already been abandoned. Seems like humans are scarce here."
"Didn't you hear what Madam Wang said? All the young people have already left the village. The only ones left here are children and middle-aged or old women. Lots of families have moved away too. It's definitely going to be dilapidated. The entire village feels so dead."
"This village is really strange. Outsiders are mostly too afraid to stay here. The rumors alone are terrifying enough."
....
By nighttime, the village grew dead silent. The empty streets were pitch black, and the only light source came from the lights in some houses. There were also the occasional sounds of dogs barking.
The rain grew heavier and louder.
