I quickly asked, "Do you know that place?"

The village chief said: "Why don't I know? That's where the little devils killed people back then, and I always went to lay flowers when I was a child." Damn, the old devil wanted to fart when he killed people back then. Now that he's getting older, he's going to kick his legs, and he regrets it?

The village chief turned around: "I said leader, what are you bringing them here for? They can't be little devils, right?"

"Oh!" I said, "they're from Huaxia!"

I pointed at Kaoru Nishinomiya: "Her sister is studying in the East. is a classmate of Liu Yang. ”

"Oh, that's right!" the village chief's face softened. Continue to walk with me to the back of the front village.

I asked quietly, "I heard that many little devils have disappeared here in Xiaohe Village in the past. The old devil can't come back looking for a corpse, right?"

The village chief said: "I heard my father say that back then, the little devils could have caused enough disasters in Xiaohe Village. Just didn't move Xiaohe Village. They frightened the big immortals behind the village and didn't dare to touch Xiaohe Village. ”

Chen Sanjin suddenly came to his senses: "Uncle, can you tell me about it?"

The village chief said: "If you dare to say this now, if you say it at that time of turmoil, you will have to be arrested." We have to say that we preach feudal superstition. ”

The village chief said as he walked: "I heard my father say that at that time, every time the little devil went to a village, he would first set up a machine gun and a steel cannon at the entrance of the village. Let's go to the village with a few shots, and see if it's okay. At that time, after they fired five or six cannons at the village, they fired at the Daxian Temple. ”

The village chief pointed back: "The Great Immortal Temple is over there!"

I looked in the direction of his finger, and there was nothing but a big tree.

The village chief said: "I heard that at that time, the little devil coaxed several shots over there, but not a single shell exploded. The little ghost also thought it was strange, so he sent someone over to take a look. As soon as they got there, the shells exploded. Killed more than a dozen people at once. The Daxian Temple was also blown up. The people in the village said that it was the great immortal who showed his spirit and warned the little devils not to do evil in Xiaohe Village, otherwise they would not have good fruit to eat. Not to mention, the little devil was really scared. Except for the previous shots, he really didn't dare to touch the people of Xiaohe Village. ”

The village chief's words are different from what is written in the old devil's diary.

The old devil clearly said that Nishinomiya Yusuke killed someone in Kogawa Village, and the body was thrown into the well. What did the village chief say, the devil didn't kill anyone?

I turned my head to look at Kaoru Nishinomiya, who said in a low voice, "I think what the village chief said is right. Orientals believe in ghosts and gods. When encountering a place sheltered by the gods, it is generally not easy to touch it. ”

Ye Xuan pouted and said: "Nonsense, when the little devils invaded China, temples and Taoist temples all went to disaster. What kind of ghosts and gods do you believe? ”

I gestured to Ye Xuan, meaning to ask him not to argue yet.

I've heard about the superstitious belief of Orientals in ghosts and gods. However, their belief in the Dharma seems to be different from ours, and they are afraid when they see it, and they don't care what temples or Taoist temples you have, and they burn and loot the same.

I asked quietly, "Uncle, where was the little devil stationed in Xiaohe Village at that time?"

"That open space over there!" said the village chief, "there was originally a landlord's compound over there." When the landlord heard that the devil was coming, he ran away with his family and threw a compound in vain. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, when the landlord was fighting, the compound was burned. Many people feel that it is a pity. What are you burning him for?"

The village chief said again: "When the old devil came, he was there for a long time. Who knows, what kind of crying he had. ”

I asked again: "Uncle, I heard that there is another village between our Xiaohe Village and the county seat. Why is the village gone?"

"There used to be a village!" said the village chief, "I have heard from the elders that there was a plague on our side a long time ago. As long as someone in a nearby village is sick. The people of the village hardened their hearts and drove people out. They all went into hiding in a deserted village below. After I went in, I never came out. ”

"Everybody knows there's a village over there, but no one dares to go there. I'm afraid that I won't be able to get out. The village chief said, "These are all said by the older generation. No one my age had ever seen the village. ”

I couldn't help but be slightly stunned: In this way, Yu Wucun really existed.

The village chief seemed to be aroused: "If you want to say, that plague really has something to do with our village." ”

Before the plague broke out, many people saw a man in total darkness bathing in the river, crying as he bathed. Some people thought he was going to throw water, and they went over to take a look twice. The person who approached the dark shadow didn't know what he was looking at. Frightened, he ran home. When I meet people, I say that I am going to die. ”

"At that time, many people thought that it was a person who was drowned in the water, waiting for someone to be pulled at night. No one dared to approach the river. Within a few days, the plague began to erupt in this place. The death of a man and a household. The government came several times but failed to control the plague. Later, they could only drive the sick to a deserted village. Let them fend for themselves in it. ”

The legend that the village chief said should have some truth. In ancient times, the level of medical care was not so developed. In the event of a plague, this is the only way to control it.

But I think that Yu Wu Village may not be the place where the government exiled the sick back then.

From Xiaohe Village down to the county seat, the terrain is similar to that of Xiaohe Village, which is the kind of flat area facing the water and leaning against the mountains. Such a place is practically not suitable for mass detention crowds.

Everyone has the will to survive and will not honestly wait for death. In ancient times, the place where the seriously ill were abandoned was either a valley or an island, the kind of place where people could be trapped to death.

If you want to use the village to surround people, either the other party does not have the strength to run out, or you have to build another fortress outside the village. The village chief just mentioned Yu Wucun, why didn't he mention the matter of the military blockage?

While I was thinking about it, the village chief said, "Later, too many people died. A great immortal in the mountains couldn't see it, so he brought a herb. Legend has it that the people of this place had the same dream that night, and they dreamed that a white-clothed immortal said that he would bring life-saving herbs. Let him pick him up outside the village. When you see him, just take the herbs and leave the rest alone. Don't even touch his corpse. Let him be a corpse in the wilderness. ”

"The next day, the village looked outside according to what Daisen said, and really found a corpse leaning against a tree. The great immortal violated the rules of heaven because he stole the herbs, and when he came out with the herbs, he died at the entrance of the village, and he still held the herbs in his hands. ”

Although Daxian said it, he didn't let people touch his corpse. But the villagers couldn't bear to let him be in the wilderness, so they buried the body on the spot. He also built a temple of great immortals. Those who celebrate the New Year send him incense. Later, the little devil came and blew up the temple, and the villagers originally wanted to build another temple. But the little devil didn't let it, and the white-clothed Daxian Temple was never built again. ”

The village chief probably said that he was tired, and he lit a cigarette as he walked ahead.

The white-clothed immortal, Yu Wucun, seize the order. These three seem to be unrelated, but I always feel that there is some kind of connection between them. It's just that we didn't find the connection.

I followed the village chief to the edge of an adobe house on the edge of the village before he stopped and shouted into the courtyard, "Old Zhangtou, old Zhangtou...... Come out, what about the people?"

The village chief didn't even shout a few times and saw no one answer, and the peach demon couldn't help but ask, "Are people going out?"

The village chief shook his head and said, "No! When the weather is good, I also walk in the yard and generally don't go out. Maybe I'm sick again, I'll go in and take a look!"

The village chief jumped into the yard by the wall, and the family dog first looked up at the village chief, and then immediately lowered his head and lay on the ground.

The village chief looked into the house through the glass and ran over to open the door for us: "I am indeed sick, and people are sitting in the house!"

When the village chief led us into the house, he said, "This old man knows nothing when he is sick, and sits like a dead man, without saying a word. I don't know how long I can sit. The village had long wanted to send him to a nursing home, but he said he wouldn't go. As soon as you wake up, run back. It's really not worry-free. ”

As soon as the village chief pushed the door open, I asked about the smell of rotting wood.

There are not many adobe houses, and you can see the ondol when you enter the door.

An old man in a blue cloth dress sat cross-legged on the kang with his eyes open and looked at the window, with a bowl and chopsticks for eating beside him, as if he had just eaten.

The village chief had already walked to the edge of the kang, and the old man didn't seem to see anyone coming in, staring at the window with his two eyes unblinking. It wasn't until the village chief stood in front of him that the old man turned sideways: "You're in my way." ”

The village chief looked at the window: "What are you looking at?"

The old man said expressionlessly: "I see people! Someone is dead, and he is beating me out of the yard!"

"Damn, and crazy again. The village chief said to me, "I don't know when this old man will recover when he is sick, or I will find you a place to live first." I'll send someone to watch over and watch a little bit, and when he wakes up, I'll bring you over?"

I smiled and said, "No, I think this house is good, and we'll live here." You don't have to worry about us, we just take care of our own food and drink. Something, I'm looking for you. ”

The village chief couldn't resist me, so he could only let me stay at Lao Zhangtou's house.

After the village chief left, I tried to talk to Lao Zhangtou a few times, but the other party did not respond, and only when I blocked his view, he would move his body. I'm always looking at the window with a blank face.

After the sky gradually began to darken, the peach demon and I began to set up the defense in the wing.

I always felt that in Xiaohe Village, it would not be peaceful tonight.
