Leaving the village, Li Yan continued to walk outside, the surrounding mountains gradually became low, the trees were not as tall as before, and even rice and other crops could be seen in some places.

"It's another village. Looking at the house not far away, Li Yan muttered.

In front of him, there were houses standing one after another, high and low, old and new, with the fields of the paths crisscrossing the left and right, and the wide dirt road running through the middle of the village, perhaps because of the recent rain, and the road was still a little muddy.

Fruit trees are planted on both sides of the house, children are constantly running between the alleys, and the sound of chickens, birds, and buffalo working in the fields is very real.

"The little brother is a foreigner, and it is not easy to come all the way to us. Just when Li Yan looked at the village in a daze, a big man carrying farm tools home said.

Dahan's body is very dark, and he looks like the kind of villager who stays in the fields for a long time, and the wind and sun on weekdays make his skin so rough.

This village is not big, there are hundreds of households, surrounded by mountains, and the Han who has lived here for more than ten years knows every family here.

Therefore, as soon as Li Yan appeared in his sight, the swarthy man knew that Li Yan was from outside, so he came up to talk, wanting to find out what the purpose of coming to his village was.

"Big brother, it's really not easy, I only saw two villages from that primeval forest. ”

Li Yan explained to the swarthy man that he was a geology enthusiast and came to the primeval forest to investigate, but who knew that this primeval forest was too dangerous, so he hurriedly ran out and walked so far before he came across two villages.

He didn't tell the truth to the swarthy man, and casually prevaricated for a suitable reason, no matter where he was, there was still a guard that should be there, and many crises were hidden in some small things.

Li Yan was chased and killed by the leather-clothed man before escaping into this primeval forest, of course he couldn't tell the truth to the swarthy man, the general reason to enter the primeval forest was too fake, claiming that he was a geology enthusiast, everything was reasonable, and the big man would not suspect anything.

Sure enough, after listening to Li Yan's words, the swarthy old man's face was a little hesitant, but after a while, he returned to normal, as if he was thinking about something.

"I said this little brother, are you mistaken, the primeval forest is quite far away from us, but I also followed my father a few times in the early years, and the distance from that place to our village is hundreds of miles away. ”

The swarthy man spoke, he had been there with his father in the early years, covering the sky and the sun, there were ancient trees everywhere, and at night, wolves howled, tigers roared, all kinds of strange sounds were everywhere, terrifying and terrifying, that kind of place didn't even have a home, how could there be a village.

Moreover, living in the mountains, relying on the mountains to eat the mountains, the swarthy man often took advantage of the slack time to go to the nearby mountains to get some prey to improve the food, and sell it for money, not to mention, he could feel the place of a hundred miles in the vicinity, and there were no other villages at all.

Listening to the words of the swarthy man, Li Yan's face was a little puzzled, although the village he met before was a little weird, but it was a real village, if what the swarthy man said was true, then what did he see.

"Big brother, are you kidding, in that direction, when I came in the morning, I saw a village somewhere, the houses were very neatly arranged, and the front of every house was full of willow mulberry. ”

Li Yan opened his mouth and deliberately pointed out the direction in which he came to the swarthy man, he was afraid that the big man would remember something wrong, and carefully explained the appearance of the house he saw to the swarthy man.

The swarthy man had only been to the primeval forest with his parents a few years ago, and he didn't know much about the situation over there, so it was very likely that he would be wrong, so Li Yan reminded him again and again to let him think about it.

"I said, little brother, why don't you believe me, I live in this big mountain, and I must know more things than you, and we have never seen the village you said. ”

"In particular, you also said that the houses in that village are uniform, but this one alone is impossible, you look at our village, one house in the east and one in the west, this is not your city, there are still people who do those plans, how to make them uniform. ”

"The front and back of the house are full of willow mulberry, so it's even more impossible, who will have nothing to do and plant those bad things in front of the house. The swarthy man said slowly, but every sentence made Li Yan's heart feel cold.

Bursts of cold sweat burst out from Li Yan's forehead, and in just an instant, Li Yan felt his head buzzing, and he almost went black in front of his eyes several times and fainted.

"Little brother is fine!" Seeing that Li Yan's state seemed to be a little wrong, the swarthy man hurriedly helped Li Yan to sit down on a stone, got a glass of water from the kettle he was carrying and handed it to Li Yan.

Taking the water handed over by the swarthy man, Li Yan drank it all, and rested for a long time, until his state slowly improved.

"There are no willows in front of the house, and no mulberry is planted behind the house. "Up to now, Li Yan also believed the words of the swarthy man, according to the old ancestor, Liu Sang's inauspicious things, no one will plant them in front of the house and behind the house, if it is a family, it is fine, but the whole village does this, this is definitely not something that normal people can do, that village is strange.

Thinking of the old man's words again, and the clothes he was wearing, Li Yan felt that this matter was not as simple as he imagined, at that time he felt that the village was very strange and lifeless, but now it seems that there is definitely something wrong.

"It's good that I didn't go in at the beginning, but now that I think about it, it's really scary. Li Yan thought in his heart, and couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat behind his back, he felt that that place was very likely to be a ghost village.

"Brother, there have been some major events near this primeval deep forest, such as the death of many people. Looking at the swarthy man who handed him water, Li Yan asked.

If that village is really a ghost village, it is impossible to appear there for no reason, there must be a lot of souls after unjust death for a long time, turned into evil ghosts, and gathered into a village.

"Big thing, I said little brother, what big thing can happen in our poor and remote place, let alone a dead man, not even a pig has been lost. The swarthy man spoke, he was a little reckless, but he was very sincere, and he didn't say anything at all.

"Brother, don't worry, I'm not saying that now, there was no major event that killed many people a long time ago. Li Yan opened his mouth and asked carefully, he wanted to know what caused the formation of that ghost village.

"That makes me think, historically, historically. The swarthy man dragged his chin and pondered carefully, and after coming over for a long time, he suddenly clapped his hands and said loudly: "There are really many people who have died, just a few hundred years ago, there was a massacre of the people by the Great Western Army here." ”
