Chapter Seventy-Four: The Village
I said that my skill in playing with a slingshot was top-notch, and my action immediately attracted everyone's attention, and the little imp seemed to know that I had found him, and was about to run away, when the stone struck him firmly in the head.
After a muffled sound, a huge thing hit the ground, I took the flashlight and looked forward, and I saw the body of a half-old child falling to the ground, he still had his eyes open, and he smiled evilly at me, but, perhaps because he had been dead for too long, the whole body was somewhat deformed by this fall.
At this time, almost everyone saw this corpse, and they didn't dare to boys and girls, so they all screamed, so I went to appease them, saying don't be afraid, since this thing has fallen, it's okay, it's dead.
When I calmed them down and went back to see the corpse, I found He Chuxue standing there with a pale face, her eyes wide, and told me that the corpse was gone......
No, I looked up and saw that it was almost dawn, so that even if the body was gone, he would not make a name for himself during the day, so I told them a few words, showed them the way, and urged them to leave quickly.
Xia Yang was still not convinced, he held his head high and asked me why I didn't go, but I just asked them to go, and I told them that I had companions missing inside, and I had to look for them.
Xia Yang seemed to want to raise the bar with me, but no one else stopped me in time, they promised me to leave immediately, and I was relieved to go to Li Qing.
I didn't expect a ghost to hit the wall, it took me more than half a night to get out, it seems that this place is indeed not simple, but because of this, I have to find Li Qing faster.
I remember that Li Qing seems to have some skills, but most of them are reflected in the block, if he is also trapped somewhere, I am afraid I can only wait for me to save him.
But the strange thing is that I walked for a day, and still didn't find Li Qing's whereabouts, He Chuxue still had a little conscience, and stuffed me with some food before I left, so that I wouldn't starve to death here.
However, I have searched for almost the entire forest, and Li Qing is still nowhere to be seen, does it mean that he is no longer in the forest?
Actually, when I was looking for him, he should have been looking for me, so we were actually on the move, so it was very likely that he had already walked out of the forest, or that he felt that he could no longer go on alone, so it was not necessary that he would go down the mountain.
I don't know whether to comfort myself or deceive myself, but I have more motivation to move forward. Li Qing can go back, but I can't, the importance of Mengyunyin to me, Li Qing will not understand.
After walking for a few dozen minutes, I felt that the forest was obviously darkening, and it seemed that it was getting dark again. I continued to walk forward, but it didn't take long for a large light to appear in front of me.
I rubbed my eyes, I thought there was a mirage, but it took me a while to react, this is a deep mountain, where did the mirage come from, I was probably walking for a day, tired and stupid......
I stood halfway up the hill and looked down, and the light didn't look like electric lights, but more like candles or oil lamps. And looking at the distribution, there should be a village below.
Great, I actually found the village, maybe Li Qing would have gone there a long time ago and looked for fellow villagers to eat and drink!
I was excited for a moment, and I was about to run down, but suddenly I remembered the story that Aqua had told...... Aqua said there had been a natural disaster that buried the entire village and killed all the villagers, leaving no one spared.
If that's the case, there should be no one in the village in the first place, so how could another village appear? Could it be that Aqua is lying? He just cheated us out of our money and didn't want to come in and suffer? But if that's the case, then what about the little ghost who teased us halfway?
As I thought, I slowed down my pace, not to mention that the further I walked into the col, the more I could hear the laughter of the people, as if some kind of banquet was being held.
I was hungry and couldn't take care of it anymore, so I just went down to find out.
Sure enough, there were still people here, and they were very surprised when they saw me, and an old man muttered, "Oh, it's really lively today......
After saying that, the old man was very enthusiastic, and welcomed me in, saying that they had lived here for generations, and had not seen an outsider for a long time, and wanted me to go to his house for dinner.
I listened to his tone, as if someone had been here before, and thought to myself that maybe Li Qing had been here before, so I asked him if he had seen a tall man with a big man, but the old man didn't seem to see it, and went out to help me ask several villagers, but they all said that they hadn't seen it.
Could it be that Li Qing really went back?
But soon, my attention was gone, for the old man suddenly shouted outward, and the two women brought me several plates of dishes, and I fixed my eyes on roast chicken, vegetable cakes, and hot steamed buns and porridge.
I was a person who hadn't eaten well for two or three days, and I could stand this, so I immediately turned red, picked up the chopsticks and was about to eat, but I felt that this was not good, and after expressing my gratitude to the old man, I wanted to invite him to eat with me.
The old man waved his hand and said, "It's okay, you can just eat, the two girls just now are my daughters-in-law, and I eat every day for the old man, you are a guest, or you eat first!" ”
I wasn't embarrassed to put down the chopsticks for a while, so I wanted to say that I got acquainted with the old man first, and I wouldn't feel embarrassed to eat it when the time came.
So I endured the protest in my stomach and asked the old man without words: "How many years have you existed here?" ”
The old man tilted his head and thought about it, and counted it with his fingers, but in the end he still shook his head, saying that he didn't know, anyway, he had lived here since he was a child, and his father had lived here since he was a child.
I said in my heart, that's not right, if all life and life are thrived here, then wouldn't the whole village be related by blood? Now that the news of the marriage is not spread so widely by close relatives, they are not affected?
So I asked casually, "Look at your two daughters-in-law, you know that you have two good sons!" ”
But the old man shook his head and said, "Then you guessed wrong, I only have one son!"
That...... How can a son have two daughters-in-law?
