The footsteps of the field service team of the general office are very fast, Fei Rong borrowed from Di Bingqiao, and the latter can keep up, and Ding Youlan during the mission is not strong, if he can't walk, he will let Zhu Mengtian carry it, and on the way they also found a special sign made by the field service team of the Spirit Law Enforcement Department, indicating that the six members of the department have been here, and they have not gone in the wrong direction.

By five o'clock in the afternoon, everyone could already see the smoke of cooking among the trees, which should be one of the villages that most people knew about making dolls. Eye-to-eye with a chameleon on the trunk of the tree for a moment, then took advantage of the urge to put it away and provoke it, "Shall we go into the village now?"

The black swollen huge shadow surged back like a tide, shrinking into an ordinary appearance, and Lin Yingkong said, "I don't feel anything strange around here. ”

Ding Youlan spread out the map and looked at it, "But according to the situation recorded in Zun Puppet Village, we are less than twenty kilometers away from it." "It doesn't take two hours to walk slowly.

"Sure enough, there is some large-scale enchantment......" Zhu Meng Tian was thoughtful.

"Let's go to the village," Feng Rong retracted his spiritual sense, interrupting everyone's speculation, "I can't sense anything either." "But the accident of the six members of the ministry is a real thing, and such a calm will only make them more alert.

After the minister spoke, everyone rested for a while, and after Ding Youlan sent a message to the branch to explain the current situation and make sure that he could still communicate with the outside world, he put his luggage on his back and made some disguises, and walked to the place where there was cooking smoke.

It's just an ordinary village - this is the first thing everyone thinks when they finally get to the front of the village.

Stone tablets with foreign characters written on them, tall bamboo buildings on stilts, smooth mud and stone paths, old people sitting on the flat ground at the entrance of the village smoking dry tobacco and chatting, and a group of children playing with stones next to them...... No matter how you look at it, it is a peaceful and quiet state, which makes everyone in the field service team of the General Office who is waiting for a little surprise, and I wish Meng Tianyan to quickly drag E Jingbai, who is ready to go, back, so as not to give people the first impression that bandits are coming to rob.

When they appeared, the villagers all looked over, and an old man who was obviously more prestigious stood up, hesitated for a moment, and asked in broken Chinese: "A few guests from afar, what are you doing here in Musheng Village?"

Lin Yingkong and Feng Rong glanced at each other, and then the two of them naturally walked forward a few steps, Lin Yingkong smiled and said: "Hello, we are a historical research group from K City Jiaotong University, this is our team leader puppet......" He directly borrowed the name of Yanmi School to introduce a group of people, among them, Ding Youlan, Cheng Xiaodu, and Fei Rong, who were not very old, said that they were students of the history department, and they also took out a few documents very cooperatively and handed them over, and finally he said: " Our topic this year is about the origin and development of dolls, and I heard that Kimori Village is famous for its puppet craftsmanship and has a history of making dolls for thousands of years, so we came here to see it, and we hope that you will forgive me if you are offended. ”

Feng Rong also nodded, "I took the liberty to come and disturb me." ”

"Don't bother, don't bother," the old man seemed to have received such a guest, took those documents and looked at them, and then the vigilance in his eyes dissipated a lot, and he laughed with a little pride, "The puppets in our Musheng Village are the best in this area, you can look at them casually." By the way, I am from the village of Musheng Village, and the people in the village call me Lao Yue Ri. ”

After he reported his name, the other villagers gathered around curiously, a child crowded next to Fei Rong and stared at the marching kettle hanging from her waist with blinking, Fei Rong also looked down at him, and found that the stone in his hand was actually made of wood, which seemed to be carved with a carving knife, round and patterned, quite delicate.

Lin Yingkong's mouth is naturally not covered, three times and two clicks, Uncle Yue Ri and a group of villagers flickered and happily welcomed them into the village, the first thing everyone in the field team of the general office saw was all kinds of large and small woodcarvings hanging on the stilted bamboo building, all of which were part of the human body, at this time the sky was already dark, and it was not an ordinary horror at first glance, Ding Youlan, who couldn't stand these the most, turned white, and was caught and teased by Zhu Mengtian for a while.

The puppets of Musheng Village, in fact, are wooden dolls, from the height of the people to the small palms of the hands, do a good job of the joints of the limbs, draw the facial features, put on the wig, put on the wig, and put on the wig, so realistic that it is not inferior to the popular SD doll on the market, when they come, they have already understood, this puppet of Musheng Village is indeed very good, although the output is not high, but the selling price is not low, that is, the place is too remote, and people who are not knowledgeable can not find it here.

Those unformed woodcuts look terrifying, but the complete finished product is very amazing, and they can't put it down when they hold it in their hands, and they can't wait to take out the cash to buy a few more to take back - even if they don't like it, this kind of handmade humanoid crafts made with heart are also very suitable as various supernatural mediums, at least Zhu Mengtian has already calculated that there are a few spells that can be used with this thing.

Although Musheng Village is hidden in the depths of the jungle, there is a lot of communication with the outside world, several families even have computers, and the network cable is pulled from the village chief's house, the network speed is a bit sad, but it is better than nothing, the villagers are quite accustomed to having guests come, seeing the beauty of the field service team of the general office, all of them are handsome men and women, and they all come to greet them enthusiastically, and even the cold-faced E Jingbai did not scare them away.

This village is not big, there are about 100 households, and seeing that it is getting late, everyone slipped around and went to the village chief's house for dinner, and they didn't find anything wrong along the way, Fei Rong and the others muttered in their hearts.

During the meal, Ding Youlan and Di Bingqiao, the two academic parties, were pushed out to take out the knowledge of the puppets that were made up of evil and talked to Uncle Yuri and some of the villagers who accompanied him, Lin Yingkong was also pinching the opportunity to grasp the direction of the topic, putting on a bullish posture of the historical scientific research group, coaxing the people of Musheng Village to pour all kinds of information out like beans, but what made everyone in the field team of the General Office strange was that it was only an hour or two away from Musheng Village that Mingming Zun Doll Village was only one or two hours away, and they talked about several nearby villages in the neighborhood, but they didn't mention anything about the puppet village, Lin Yingkong was afraid that there would be many people and mentioned any taboos in the village, so he didn't break the casserole and asked in the end。

After eating a very characteristic dinner, Zhu Mengtian had already made a wine with a few men who called him brothers, E Jingbai was also dragged into the water by him, and after a while, the two of them were dizzy and helped to rest in the good-natured laughter of the villagers, Fei Rong pulled Derpy to play with those children, Ding Youlan and Di Bingqiao continued to try to make the villagers stunned with sweat in their hearts, and Lin Yingkong and Feng Rong chatted harmoniously with Uncle Yuri.

"Your colleagues and students are very lively. Uncle Yue Ri looked at Zhu Mengtian and E Jingbai, who were drunk and helped away, with a smile, and said.

The only thing Feng Rong can answer to this is: "......" is one of the reasons why he occasionally doesn't want to go to work, and the team members who are too lively are sometimes a tragedy.

Late at night, eight people from the field team of the general office scattered to the villagers' houses to rest, Lin Yingkong and Feng Rong stayed in the guest room of the village chief's house, the furniture was all wooden or bamboo, it looked very comfortable, Feng Rong was the last one to take a bath, when he came back, Lin Yingkong had already made the bed and cleaned up neatly, Feng Rong wiped his hair, his eyes glanced at the double bed, and then turned away as if he was uncomfortable, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

Lin Yingkong was about to ask the minister to come and sit, but the window on one side was suddenly gently and skillfully pushed open, and Zhu Mengtian and E Jingbai, who were supposed to be drunk and sleeping, jumped in one after another, looking at that look, how could they be half drunk?

After Zhu Mengtian came in, he saw that the minister's hair was still wet, and Assistant Lin glanced at him with bent eyebrows, and in a blink of an eye, he intimately added a coat to Feng Rong. I wish Meng Tian's mind immediately numb, his back was cold, and his heart was fortunately not broken in at any critical moment - his hands and feet are faster than his brain, he is sick, and he must be cured!

Anyway, it wasn't himself who was the first to come in, and E Jingbai, who had never wished Meng Tian so much of the trouble of being so automatically full of hatred, said calmly: "We just walked around the village, and we didn't find anything other than a few incompetent Earth Bound Spirits. ”

Zhu Meng Tian also coughed dryly and quickly pretended to be professional: "Well, that's right, there is nothing special about this village, and those puppets are beautiful." ”

"So this is just an ordinary village?" Feng Rong said thoughtfully.

"Maybe Musheng Village doesn't have much to do with Zun Puppet Village," Lin Yingkong said, "Just now a villager casually said that there were tourists who came here some time ago, and the number of listeners should be those few members, they also communicated with the branch in the area of Musheng Village, and there will be no news after that." "So the key is still in the mysterious puppet village.

"Let's just say that the puppet village may be a ghost village," Zhu Meng Tian muttered, "It's so close, I haven't heard the villagers mention it." ”

"Do you have to go to the ghost village," Feng Rong said lightly, "Tomorrow I will find a chance to ask the village chief about the affairs of the Zun Puppet Village, some things may not be easy to say when there are many people, now the time is too tight, if there is no news, there is no way, we will go directly to the Zun Puppet Village." ”

"By the way, minister," E Jingbai suddenly remembered something, "When Xiaolan and those villagers talked about the history of Musheng Village just now, it seemed that they mentioned that several nearby villages originally belonged to the same family, but then they separated for some reason, and they usually don't interact much." ”

Zhu Mengtian nodded, "I also heard it, people outside say that several villages around here are quite famous for making dolls, but in fact, it seems that only Musheng Village is still doing it, and the villagers have not mentioned anything else." "Of course, it is also possible that other villages can't find a way out, so they simply change careers.

"Dolls......" Feng Rong raised his eyebrows, "Have you been to see the dolls of those villagers?"
