Glancing at Luo Ziran gratefully, Qin Xiusheng stopped talking. At this time, the old man who had been standing next to him finally couldn't help it and asked, "What are you two boys muttering?"

Seeing the old man's suspicious gaze, Qin Xiusheng hurriedly explained, "It's nothing, it's nothing, we're just discussing the next trip." ”

Hearing Qin Xiusheng's explanation, the old man's gaze became a little better. He nodded, looking at the two of them suspiciously, "That's the best." I warn you not to discuss anything about curses in this town, or don't blame me for not warning you in advance if something happens. ”

Qin Xiusheng and Luo Ziran hurriedly nodded in agreement, they didn't want to have any conflict here. The two followed the old man back to his residence, looking at the old man's humble residence, Qin Xiusheng couldn't help but frown deeply.

Unlike the shops they had seen in the town, the old man's residence was very shabby. Although the shops in the town are covered in dust, there is a vague hint of the prosperity of the past. The old man's dwelling was completely different, the courtyard was overgrown with weeds, and the stone walls had collapsed for the most part, and they could not function at all.

"Old man, do you live alone?" Qin Xiusheng couldn't help but ask, if the old man had children, he would definitely not see him living in such a simple house.

What Qin Xiusheng didn't expect was that the old man shook his head, sighed and said, "Although I live alone now, I still have a son in the town. ”

Hearing the old man's words, Qin Xiusheng couldn't help frowning slightly. Since the old man had a son, he would let him live in such a simple house, and naturally thought that the old man's son was not very filial to him.

"It's a long story, although my son is not a good man, but he is still filial. The old man kept sighing as he spoke, and his voice suddenly seemed to be a decade old, "It's just that my son was chosen to serve that adult, and although it is inconvenient for me to live alone, there is no way." ”

Hearing the old man's words, Luo Ziran couldn't help frowning, and asked, "That adult, old man, can you tell me more about that adult?"

Hearing Luo Ziran's question, the old man's face showed a trace of embarrassment. He hesitated, shook his head and said, "Can't say, can't say." That lord is the great benefactor of our town, and without him, I'm afraid all the townspeople in the town would ......."

Hearing the old man's words, Qin Xiusheng's brows furrowed even deeper. Judging from his words, the adult he spoke of was the culprit behind the town's appearance. Officially, because he created rumors of a curse and then fooled the villagers, it was only because of the original good town that it became the decay it is today.

"Old man, can you let me meet the adult you are talking about?" Qin Xiusheng couldn't help but ask, he really wanted to meet in person for a while to see what kind of person could fool the townspeople into such a way.

The old man thought for a moment, nodded and said, "Originally, the lord was not a guest. However, today happens to be the day of the festival in the town. The lord will be there himself, and you can follow me to the square to have a look. ”

As he spoke, the old man's words changed sharply, and he said in a deep voice, "But you must promise me that you must not offend that adult. I'm doing this for your own good, if it weren't for him, our town would be over. If you do anything rude to him, the rest of the townsfolk won't let you go. ”

Qin Xiusheng hurriedly nodded and agreed, "Old man, you can rest assured." We're just curious to see what makes the man who single-handedly saves the town so different that he won't offend. ”

Seeing that Qin Xiusheng had made a guarantee, the old man was relieved. He nodded, and said, "The festival in town is about to begin, so come with me." ”

While a few people were talking, a trumpet suddenly sounded from a distance. Qin Xiusheng couldn't help frowning slightly, this so-called festival was more formal than what he was in.

Hearing the sound of the horn, the old man hurriedly stood up, and while packing up his things, he said, "The festival is about to begin, don't be late, it will annoy the lord." ”

Qin Xiusheng sneered in his heart, he couldn't wait to meet the adult in the old man's mouth for a while. Qin Xiusheng and Luo Ziran glanced at each other and walked out of the room together.

As soon as he walked out of the house, Qin Xiusheng noticed that a burst of fire was flickering in the distance. The light of the fire was very dazzling, and it must have been the town square, where the festival was held. Judging by the light of the fire, the pomp and circumstance of this festival is not small.

Soon, the old man also came out of the house. He was old and staggered when he walked. Even so, his steps were still very fast, which made Qin Xiusheng and Luo Ziran, who were following him, secretly surprised.

The three of them rushed all the way to the town's square and found that many townspeople had gathered here. The young people present held torches in their hands, illuminating the entire square as bright as daytime.

When Qin Xiusheng saw this scene, he couldn't help frowning slightly. He had thought that if the town became what it was now, the young people would definitely leave. But judging from the current situation, the population of the town does not look like it is decreasing.

This made Qin Xiusheng even more shocked, what kind of magic power did that lord possess to make the townspeople stay in such a lifeless town willingly.

Just when Qin Xiusheng was thinking wildly, Luo Ziran, who was standing beside him, stretched out his elbow and gently touched his arm, "Look, could it be the adult sitting on the sedan chair?"

Hearing Luo Ziran's words, Qin Xiusheng hurriedly looked in the direction of his finger. In the distance, a sedan chair was slowly moving towards the square. There was a circle of people gathered around the sedan chair, each wearing a mask on their face and wearing strange clothes, just looking at it made people feel creepy.

"Your Excellency is coming, your Excellency is coming!" Seeing the arrival of the sedan chair, the townspeople present let out a burst of shouts.

Listening to the shouts of the townspeople, Qin Xiusheng's face became even more ugly. Judging by the behavior of the townspeople, they admired the lord from the bottom of their hearts. This was definitely not good news for Qin Xiusheng, it would be even more difficult for Qin Xiusheng to unravel his conspiracy if it could make the villagers go so mad.
