Chapter 15: White Grass Village
After that day, about three or four days later, Brother Mengyao took him, hey, during the day, Deng Yuqing, Tang Wei, and set off. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Fang Xiaoling's remaining consciousness was sealed by Ma Hey and a few people with Taoism. According to what they said, Fang Xiaoling will definitely not have an accident in a short period of time, but if it takes a long time, it is difficult to guarantee that she will not lose her soul. After the eldest grandson heard the news, he held her jar all day long and talked to himself over there, Brother Mengyao was worried that he would do something unexpected, so he specially asked You Ran and Jing Wei to take the brothers to look at him carefully. On the one hand, it is convenient to take care of Cui Jiali and Xu Xu, and on the other hand, it is also convenient to prevent the small actions of those people in the secret at any time.
She went back to the school to take a few more looks, and after everything was taken care of, several people set off towards 'Baicao Village'.
There are many villages east of the national highway, and these villages are relatively backward, because the above policies do not benefit here, so the living conditions of many villages here are still stuck in the 1990s, which is really much worse than the current society. The roads on this side are unrepaired, most of them are gravel roads and land roads, taxis and buses do not pass through here, and even if you want to come to this village, the best means of transportation is by feet.
These villages occupy one-third of the number of people living on the national highway each year, but the income is one percent, and in general, they account for only one percent of the annual income of the national highway.
Brother Mengyao looked at the mountain to climb in front of him with a dry mouth, and took two breaths: "The road here is very steep, and the mountain has not been climbed, if it goes down, it is estimated that it will not be possible to reach it before dark." ”
He handed over the mineral water in his hand: "Then let's go faster." ”
"Not soon." During the day, he glanced at Ma Hehe and then looked at the mountain: "Baicao Village is a remote place, and there are many villages in front of it, we don't know which one." If you find them one by one, it will be difficult not only to arrive at night, but also tomorrow morning. ”
"What then? Grandpa didn't want to go, it was better to go back to rob the tomb than to climb these mountains by walking these roads, grandpa's feet were blistered. Deng Yuqing sat on the ground, took off his shoes, and there were really blisters under the soles of his feet.
Tang Hewei took a sip of water: "If you don't leave, how can you complete the task given by Li Tianwang, and if you insist on insisting on it when you go to the village in front of you at most, if it's going to be dark, it's nothing to spend a night." ”
At this point, Deng Yuqing didn't want to say anything, and muttered: "That's okay." ”
The breeze in April warmed a slight warmth, and although a few people were tired, it was not difficult to deny that it was really comfortable to climb the mountain and blow the wind in such weather, at least not as cold as the winter wind. In order to distract from the attention, Ma Hey led people to open the topic, and most of the topics also revolved around themselves and Fang Yiqu and them. Brother Mengyao listened, and he didn't know how long he had walked, and finally saw the village at sunset.
"There's a village ahead!" Deng Yuqing exclaimed in surprise. Bai Bai breathed a sigh of relief: "I'll go and ask what kind of place this is first, you wait." So saying, he went up and knocked on the doors of several houses, but all of them he knocked on were tightly closed doors and windows, and they did not pay any attention to anyone. The few people who provoked were confused, and just when they thought they were going to give up during the day, the sound of someone opening the door suddenly came from behind them, followed by a childish question: "Brother, where are you going?" ”
Bai Bai was stunned for a moment and turned his head to see that it was a little sister, and smiled: "We are going to Baicao Village, but I don't know when we will be able to arrive." Little sister, do you know where Baicao Village is? ”
Well, hey, a few people also walked up, and the female doll immediately closed the door a little when she saw so many people, revealing a scared expression: "I... I..."
"Xiaohui, close the door, close the door!"
Before the female doll could finish speaking, she was urged to close the door by the urging sound behind her. The female doll nervously glanced at a few people and was about to close the door, but Brother Mengyao quickly blocked the door: "This aunt, why are you in such a hurry to close the door?" We're not bad people, we're just passing by, and we just want to ask how to get to Baicao Village, don't be nervous. ”
The aunt pulled the girl doll into her arms: "Do you want to go to Baicao Village?" I advise you not to go, or you will die!" ”
"Will someone die?"
Look at each other.
"That Baicao Village is not clean, it began to be haunted after people died some time ago, and the whole village was disturbed. I also wore out the news today, saying that the ghosts of Baicao Village have made trouble in the next village, and no one dares to go out at night! I advise you not to go, and to go! The aunt kindly explained, and then slammed the door shut. Deng Yuqing was dusted by the gate, and patted his cheek angrily: "It turned out to be haunted, no wonder no one went to worship Li Tianwang." ”
Brother Mengyao shook his head: "We haven't seen anything with our own eyes, so don't just settle the situation casually, since the aunt just said it, it means that Baicao Village is not far ahead, and you will know what the situation is when you get there." ”
After she finished speaking, several people nodded, rested and continued to walk.
Out of the village and then walked about ten miles to the next village, to the surprise of a few people is that the current situation of this village is obviously much better than the previous village, there are still a lot of people walking on the path, greeting, listening to songs, several families play cards together, children play together, it seems that there is nothing at all, compared to the previous village is simply a world of difference.
Deng Yuqing was one head and two big, and he scratched his head when he saw this situation: "What is this situation?" Why is this village so much livelier than the one just now, it stands to reason that it shouldn't be. ”
Tang Hewei shook his head, found the nearest location and pulled an uncle, and asked politely: "Uncle, do you know where Baicao Village is?" ”
The uncle was smoking dry cigarettes, and he was happy when he heard this: "Baicao Village? Young man, are you going to Baicao Village? The village is haunted, and if you go now, I'm afraid something will happen. ”
"Uncle, we're not afraid."
"Not afraid? Today's young people are bold and bold and are not afraid of anything. You will be there by walking about a mile or twenty further, and it will be dark soon, and if you go now, it will probably take a while to arrive, and if you want to stay with us, you can go tomorrow morning. ”
"No, uncle, we have important matters in the past now, so I won't bother you." He smiled, and the uncle also smiled and turned away.
Deng Yuqing looked like he was going to die, and he leaned on the place: "One or twenty miles? I'm going to have my feet ruined! ”
Brother Mengyao sighed and continued to walk forward: "Then you stay here tonight, let's go first." With that, she walked forward without looking back. Deng Yuqing stood up from the ground without saying a word as soon as he saw that Brother Mengyao was so resolute: "Don't, don't, ancestor, I'm joking, it's only twenty miles away, it's just 10,000 steps, I'll go, I'll go." He had a deathly expression. He smiled helplessly, hugged Brother Mengyao and walked forward. Bai Bai sighed: "Hey, I can't catch off against a mouthful of dog food." After speaking, he glanced at Ma Hey and Brother Mengyao walked in front of the two of them. Tang He didn't say anything, just smiled and followed behind.
These twenty miles are not far away, but they are not short, and several people also walked for more than an hour to arrive.
After arriving at the so-called Baicao Village, Brother Mengyao knew what desolation was.
This village is not big, Brother Mengyao's eyes are good, almost two eyes have seen it, there are about twenty or thirty households in the village, about ten households in a street, and the three rows have also been counted, the location occupied by this village is not particularly large, but the surroundings are very beautiful, and you can see that the natural smell of this place is very strong. But in this natural smell, Brother Mengyao can't feel a little popularity.
There is rubbish, wood chips, and grass everywhere, but it still can't hide the desolation of this place. The doors of each house were firmly closed, and the windows were sealed with wooden strips, and even the exposed animal pens were tightly sealed, leaving only a small opening to open the door. A few people walked down the street feeling cold and nothing. The place seems to be a natural ice cellar.
"This is Baicao Village? It's so bleak, it's much more desolate than the first village we saw, it's not popular at all, every family is like this, there's not even a lamp, it's too... Seal it. ”
"They are all ordinary people, and the haunting is too serious for them, and it is understandable that it is so sealed."
Brother Meng Yao looked around: "Let's go, go find the ancestral hall of King Li Tianwang and see if there is anything wrong." ”
After she said that, several people followed.
It's not a big village, but it's still quite time-consuming to walk, especially to find a place, the smaller the place, the harder it is to find. This Li Tianwang's ancestral hall was unmanned and went around for a while and couldn't find a place, knocking on the door, there was no reply, the whole street hey the four people knocked all over and over there was no sound of talking, as if this was a dead village.
In the end, it was Ma Hey who used the compass to find the ancestral hall of Li Tianwang.
But when a few people arrived at the ancestral hall, they couldn't help but take a breath.
"How so?" Deng Yuqing picked up the plate under his feet. During the day, he picked up all the scattered fruits on the ground: "It seems to be deserted here, didn't Li Tianwang really lie to us?" I don't think something is right with this ancestral hall. ”
Ma Hehe said: "I also feel that something is not quite right, and I don't know what feels particularly uncomfortable." ”
Brother Mengyao sighed and cleaned up all the scattered things in the entire ancestral hall, and only then did he see that he was better, but he still couldn't stop the dirty dust. She casually waved off the spider webs on Li Tianwang's body, and a few people cleaned the ancestral hall with her. I don't know how long it took to clean, but it was getting dark outside. There is no signal in the deep mountains, and the mobile phone can only be used to check the time. It's past eight o'clock, not too late.
I took out the lunch box I was carrying, and discussed the current situation while eating.
She knocked the stone out of her hand, and it landed on the steps, and then she heard a sound of footsteps and quickly left. Ma Hei glanced at Brother Meng Yao, stood up and ran outside without saying a word, Brother Meng Yao's ears clearly heard the sound of the person's footsteps very quickly, plus Ma He's steps sounded very chaotic for a while.
He glanced at her during the day, and got up to go outside, but as soon as he got outside the door, he saw that Ma Hey had someone in his hand and threw it over. The man was very dirty from top to bottom, his hair was unkempt, and he probably hadn't washed his face and hair for a long time. He lowered his head in fear and kept moving towards Li Tianwang's worship platform.
She picked up the branch on one side and knocked it twice on the ground: "Are you from this village?" Her voice was soft, but the man suddenly hid under the table of the altar and did not show his head. Deng Yuqing stepped forward to bring him up, but was stopped by Brother Mengyao: "Forget it." After that, he opened the lunch box, but as soon as the lunch box was opened, the aroma of the food immediately drew the person out.
His long hair covered his cheeks, and a pair of green eyes looked at the lunch box in Brother Mengyao's hand scarelessly, and saliva flowed from the corners of his mouth. Brother Mengyao glanced down at the lunch box: "Are you hungry?" ”
He hesitated for a moment before nodding. Brother Mengyao didn't speak, but silently delivered the lunch box to him. As soon as the man saw that there was something to eat, he grabbed the food inside, and stuffed it into his mouth. Deng Yuqing looked frightened: "Ancestor, you can eat my this, I have no appetite." ”
Shaking his head: "I won't eat it, you can eat it." ”
Hearing that she didn't want to eat, Deng Yuqing silently closed the lunch box, he really had no appetite.
"You guys stay here, I'll go out with He Wei to have a look." During the day, he put the food aside, but the man rushed over with a loud bang and took his share directly. Startled during the day, Tang Hewei patted him on the shoulder, delivered the food to the person, said hello, and went out.
Deng Yuqing gathered the dry branches around him and lit the firewood with a lighter, and for a while the ancestral hall of King Li was warm.
Ma Hey added to the fire while putting the blanket he brought with him to Brother Mengyao: "The whole village seems to be closed, but this person is sneaky outside, what do you say?" ”
"What else could be the reason. There are too many homeless people in this world who have nowhere to go. She leaned on her body.
The man ate three minutes of food before he was full, and he clapped his palms casually and fell asleep on the ground. There was nothing to make a fuss about this big night, and Brother Mengyao simply leaned on him to close his eyes and rest. There were Tang Hewei and Daytime outside, and the three of them didn't worry about anything happening, they were all resting at ease. In the middle of the night, at about eleven or twelve o'clock, Bai and Tang Hewei came back, and the three of them had a little red on their faces, and as soon as they came in, they gathered around the fire to roast the fire, and they also closed the door casually.
Brother Mengyao and the three of them slept in a daze, they all heard the voice, and when they saw the two of them coming back, they smiled: "How is it outside?" ”
"There's nothing, it's just colder, and the temperature is very low, I estimate that there is also a zero-level brightness, I can't stand it and come back." Tang Hewei's whole person was about to go to the fire. Daytime followed and nodded: "This temperature is a bit low and scary, I think it is very likely that the yin qi is causing it to be so cold." ”
"Yin Qi? It's unlikely, we haven't felt any yin energy since we entered the village, but the temperature has been a little lower. Isn't it a saying that wearing a cotton jacket in the morning and yarn in the afternoon, and eating watermelon by the stove is not a big deal. Deng Yuqing continued.
After he said that, Brother Mengyao pondered: "I think our opponent this time is not simple. ”
