In fact, all knowledge and experience are inseparable, why do some people can't read words, but just because they have lived a long time and have been to many places, their wisdom is much more than that of ordinary people?
That's because of experience!
Qin Shuang's experience in her previous life can be described as extensive and rich, so she gradually gained her own understanding of Confucianism and Taoism, and at the same time, her interest also increased greatly.
Before you know it, it's getting dark. Qin Shuang put down "Confucianism and Taoism", and saw that Qin Yunxia had finished her cultivation at this time, and was looking left and right with a happy face, Qin Shuang couldn't help laughing:
"Progress again?"
"Hmm!" Qin Yunxia nodded happily.
"Miss, there's a village ahead. Yuan Ye's voice sounded outside.
Qin Shuang opened the car window, poked his head out, and faintly saw a small village in front of him in the dim skylight. I can't help but rejoice. Although she doesn't care about sleeping in the open, she can sleep without sleeping or not sleeping in the open.
Qin Shuang retracted his head and asked Qin Yunxia to put "Confucianism" back in the bookcase and prepare to get out of the car. Suddenly, the carriage stopped, and Yuan Ye's voice came from outside:
"Miss, something is wrong. ”
Qin Shuang's expression changed, grabbed the sword beside him, pushed the car door and jumped out. I saw that Yuan Ye had already got off the carriage, and although he hadn't drawn out the long sword on his back yet, he was already on full alert.
Looking to the other side, the sun had already set, and a touch of moonlight had quietly sprinkled down.
Under the moonlight.
A small village appeared in Qinshuang's field of vision.
Quiescence!
Only these two words can describe the feeling of Qin Shuang at this time, as if there is an uneasy atmosphere wafting in this silence.
This uneasy atmosphere is not visible. It can only be felt, and it can only be felt by experienced martial artists, if Qin Shuang doesn't have the experience of his previous life and a strong soul. At this point, you don't feel the unsettling atmosphere at all.
The small village is silent, and there is no figure on the village road as far as the eye can see, as if it is an abandoned village.
But......
Qin Shuang didn't think so, because she saw footprints on the village road, and there were many footprints. If you look at the houses carefully, although they are a little dilapidated, they are definitely not the kind of empty houses that no one lives in.
It's just that......
The lights were turned off in every house. None of the windows had lights flickering in them.
Rao is Qinshuang is well-informed, and he doesn't understand what is going on in this village at this time. Obviously, there are people living in this village, but why is there no one missing? Even if there is a child playing outside, and the whole village is still dark, and not a single house is lit.
Qin Shuang is a cautious person, but the more experienced people are, the more cautious they are. She pulled her sword out of its sheath. Then walk towards the village. The figure flashed. Yuan Ye had already grabbed the front, and at the same time took out the long sword on his back, and at this time, Qin Yunxia also jumped down from the carriage, holding the sword in one hand and leading the horse in the other hand to follow behind Qin Shuang.
"Rustling ......"
Only the footsteps of three people echoed in the air in the silent moonlight, and the village road was empty, looking to the left and right, and every house closed its door. There was silence inside the house. There are less than 100 households in the whole village, which can be described as a small village. It took less than a quarter of an hour. The three of them passed through the village and came to the end of the village. The three men stopped, looking at each other.
They weren't in danger, and if they left like that, nothing would have happened. But by this time it was getting late, and there was no shop in the village. Seeing that you have a house to live in, you can't have to sleep in the open, right?
It's just that Yuan Ye didn't dare to take this idea, once Qin Shuang was in danger because of living here, this was a responsibility he couldn't afford, so he looked at Qin Shuangdao:
"Miss, why don't we move on?"
Qin Shuang looked back at the village, at this time it was completely dark, and then the moonlight looked out, and the houses stood quietly there, giving people an inexplicable sense of oppression. Qin Shuang's heart was filled with curiosity, so he shook his head slightly and said:
"Let's go back and knock on a door and ask. ”
"Good!"
The three of them began to walk from the end of the village towards the head of the village again. Yuan Ye came to the door of a house, curled his fingers and tapped gently.
"Dangdangdang......"
The dull knock on the door echoed in the empty night sky, particularly permeating. But there was no response from the house. Yuan Ye frowned slightly, and then said loudly:
"We are passers-by, can we ask for a bowl of water?"
Yuan Ye's voice echoed in the night sky, and there was still no response in the room.
"Is there anyone?" Yuan Ye shouted again.
"Anyone...... ......People? Is it ...... ......"
Yuan Ye's voice echoing in the night sky drifted away, and then the entire village returned to silence. Yuan Ye looked back at Qin Shuang, who shook his head and pointed forward. Yuan Ye walked towards the next house, and then still knocked on the door and called, but there was still no response.
The three of them knocked all the way down, and no one responded all the way. After knocking on about a dozen households, Yuan Ye looked at Qin Shuang again. Qin Shuang also frowned, looked around, and then found that there was a tallest building in the middle of the village, and such a building did not need to enter to know that it was the ancestral hall of this village.
"Let's go to the ancestral hall!"
The three of them walked towards the ancestral hall, came to the door of the ancestral hall, Yuan Ye stretched out his hand and gently pushed, the false door was pushed open to the inside, and the moonlight fell in, there was no trace in the ancestral hall, there were tablets enshrined in it, there was an offering table in front, and an incense burner was placed on the table, but there was no incense in the incense burner. Yuan Ye held the long sword and walked in cautiously.
This ancestral hall is not large, and it is almost obvious at a glance. Yuan Ye walked around the ancestral hall, and then shook his head at Qin Shuang, indicating that there was nothing in the ancestral hall. Qin Shuang put away his long sword, stepped in, looked around, and there was indeed nothing, so he said:
"Let's rest here today. ”
Qin Yunxia got the food off the carriage, Yuan Ye went out and tied the carriage to a big tree next to the ancestral hall, and then went to cut some branches and came back, and built a bonfire in the ancestral hall, and the three of them ate the dry food they brought around the bonfire.
"Miss, it's strange here!" Yuan Ye glanced at the door of the ancestral hall and said softly.
"Hmm!" Qin Shuang nodded, swallowed the food in his mouth, took another sip of water, and said, "Wait for tomorrow and tomorrow, let's go knock on the door again." ”
"Hoo ......"
The night breeze blew into the ancestral hall, swaying the bonfire and splashing sparks. Yuan Ye stood up and closed the door, and the room quickly became warm. The three men leaned against the wall and closed their eyes.
