Chapter 183: Huangquan Village
The raindrops swept by the strong wind and slapped on the skin, and there was a feeling of pain.
It's not easy just to open your eyes and straighten your back, let alone rush into the unsheltered wind and rain.
However, Xuanwei and Puji did not hesitate at all, stepped out of the door one after the other, and disappeared from everyone's sight in an instant.
After the two left, Cheng Nian immediately stepped forward and closed the door.
The house was calm again, and everyone couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and they all dusted their hands off the rain on their bodies and clothes.
"Amitabha! It's a sin to cause a lot of trouble to the female benefactor!" Cheng Nian clasped his hands together and saluted the proprietress.
Because Xuanwei and Puji opened the door, the rain completely wet the floor of the store, and the wind blew it into a mess, which undoubtedly caused a lot of trouble to the proprietress .
Although Ming Ye is young, he is quite old in terms of human sophistication, and when he heard Cheng Nian's words, he immediately echoed and said: "Poor Dao and others will be responsible for cleaning up, please forgive me!"
After speaking, tomorrow night is to pick up the mop used by the proprietress and start cleaning up the rainwater on the ground.
Although he dragged it seriously tonight, he was not as tall as the mop in his hand, so he always looked a little funny.
"Where is the reason to let the guests work, just let me clean up!" The simple proprietress was a little uneasy, and she was about to reach out and snatch the mop in Mingye's hand as she spoke.
Tomorrow Night smiled at the proprietress and said slowly: "Poor Dao and others have caused trouble, if you have to ask the layman to help clean it up, how can you feel at ease?"
The rest of the people nodded, helping to clean up.
The proprietress looked at the busy crowd in embarrassment, sighed helplessly, and returned to the front desk to make a new pot of hot tea for everyone.
After a while, the rain was cleared, and everyone continued to chat with hot tea under the greeting of the proprietress of the proprietress .
"There is such a strong wind and rain outside, and there is water on the ground, why are those two masters and Dao Masters so anxious?" the proprietress asked with some concern.
Tomorrow Night is not worried that Xuanwei and Puji will have an accident, what he cares more about is why the two of them are suddenly in a hurry to go out?
"Master Cheng Nian, did my master and Master Puji go to the village before?" asked Ming Ye as he looked at Cheng Nian and asked uncertainly.
"The poor monk doesn't know the specifics, but I think it should be!" Cheng Nian said slowly.
Qinglian on the side pouted, and said with some displeasure: "That kind of ghost place, outsiders are not welcome anyway, so why meddle with things!"
Although several young monks did not speak, looking at the expressions on their faces, they obviously agreed with Qinglian's opinion.
"Could it be that when a few people came here before, they had been to Huangquan Village?" the proprietress suddenly changed her face and exclaimed.
"Huangquan Village?" Ming Ye frowned, unable to understand how a village could have such an obscure name.
It was Qinglian, she couldn't help but sneered and said, "Don't say it, this name is quite appropriate!"
Ming Ye glared at Qinglian angrily, and then asked the proprietress "Layman, the Huangquan Village in your mouth is the village next to the brick factory a few kilometers away?"
"Isn't that the hell place!" said the proprietress as she slammed the table on the table.
When it came to this village, the proprietress did not restrain her disgust at all, which was very different from her previous image of simplicity and kindness.
Obviously, the proprietress should know some secrets about the village in order to react like this.
"Huangquan Village is just the name of a nearby village, and no one knows what it is called. Anyway, that village is very unlucky, and many people die every year, especially newborn children, who basically don't live for a few months, and over time they all call it Huangquan Village. The proprietress whispered.
Everyone gasped, they had discussed why they didn't see children in the village before, but they didn't expect this to happen!
"According to the old people in the town, there used to be at least hundreds of families in Huangquan Village, but after so many years, the whole village is dying, so don't be too evil!" said the proprietress with her hands in front of her chest and rubbing her arms that stood up with her hairs.
"Hundreds?" Mingye's eyes widened, and his face was full of disbelief.
They just came from Huangquan Village, where is it not clear about the size of the village?
Even if you haven't counted it, you can still guarantee that there will never be more than twenty households in the village tomorrow night!
In less than a hundred years, a village of hundreds of families has passed away one after another, and it has plummeted to the point where there are only about a dozen households left?
This can only be described as extremely scary when you think about it!
"If you want me to say, the people in that village are also weird, and they know that there is a problem in the village, but they are still unwilling to move out!" Qinglian suddenly interjected.
"Don't mention it! The government and the township sent people to persuade them several times, but they were directly kicked out before they could open their mouths. There is also the brick factory, which was originally going to be sealed, but the people of Huangquan Village forced each other to die, and the stalemate has been until now. The proprietress shook her head and said.
After a pause, the proprietress deliberately lowered her voice and said in everyone's ears: "It is said that in order to protest against the seizure of the brick factory, several elderly people in Huangquan Village sat quietly at the gate of the brick factory without eating or drinking for several days, and finally took their own lives. ”
"Why on earth did the villagers refuse to leave that village, and why did they even risk their lives in order to stay there?" Ming Ye rubbed his face, and his heart became more and more puzzled.
Qinglian shrugged, looked at the white rain curtain outside the window, and sighed angrily: "It is estimated that the master is going to run for nothing! He is very kind, and if he wants to protect the safety of the villagers, he is afraid that others will not appreciate it!"
"I hope that the two masters and the good people of the Taoist will have good rewards and can return safely!" the proprietress clasped her hands together, as if she was repenting of something.
"Lay people and relieved, my master and the two of them are highly skilled, and they are not dangerous!"
"It's not the wind and rain that is dangerous, it's the ......" The proprietress trembled, and a thick look of fear flashed in her eyes.
Cheng Nian, who rarely spoke, seemed to care very much about the proprietress who stopped abruptly, and asked coldly: "The danger is not the wind and rain, but the village and the villagers inside?"
When the proprietress heard this, her whole face turned extremely white, as if she remembered something terrifying.
After a long time, the proprietress gritted her teeth, and her lips squirmed and she made an almost inaudible voice and said: "That village, the reason why it is called Huangquan Village, there is another unknown reason. ”
Everyone pricked up their ears for fear of missing a word.
"The villagers of Huangquan Village, they, they will eat corpses!"
There was dead silence in the room, and the proprietress sat down in her chair, gasping for breath in some distraction.
