410 Causes
The village chief of the princess's tomb was very surprised when he saw Han Feng and Xu Zilin, and when he heard that the two of them stayed at the eldest lady's house after crossing the wheat straw field, his surprised expression slowly evolved into surprise.
Chief Wen was a very thin old man, with a long and slender face, wearing a black shabby yarmulke hat, and at first glance he looked like an old scholar with five cars of learning.
"Look at the clothes of your two juniors, you just said that you are the Eighth Route Army?" Village Chief Wen asked again.
Xu Zilin said: "Yes, village chief, we are from the New Third Regiment of the 3rd, 8th, and 6th Brigades of the Eighth Route Army, I am the political commissar of the New Third Regiment, and this is Han Feng, the head of the New Third Regiment." ”
Village Chief Wen nodded, he was a knowledgeable person, he knew what kind of team the Eighth Route Army was, and when he heard Han Feng and Xu Zilin say this, the vigilance on his face gradually disappeared.
"You two dolls are really bold, and you dare to break into our princess's grave in the middle of the night, and you didn't encounter anything scary along the way, right?" Village Chief Wen poured a bowl of boiled water for Han Feng and Xu Zilin, and asked with a smile.
Xu Zilin nodded, there was still fear in his expression, and said, "I saw something." ”
Village Chief Wen asked with a smile, "What is it?" ”
Xu Zilin said: "The lonely grave by the weir pond, when we passed by at night, someone actually threw stones into the weir pond, and when I passed the cornfield, I heard the cry of a woman in the cornfield. ”
Hahahaha –
Village Chief Wen couldn't hold back anymore and laughed.
Xu Zilin was puzzled: "Village Chief, what are you laughing at?" Could it be that you know something? ”
Village Chief Wen shook his head and smiled: "I can't say, I can't say, I don't know, I don't know!" Disrespect to spirits is punishable. ”
Han Feng picked up the bowl with an open mouth, took a sip of boiled water, and said with a light smile: "Old village chief, if my guess is correct, I probably already know what is going on, but your methods are not very clever!" It's just that I can scare those who are timid, a little bold, but I'm afraid it still won't work. ”
Village Chief Wen's originally smiling face instantly froze, and he looked at Han Feng in disbelief and said, "Young man, do you see it?" ”
"I see."
"Do you really see that?"
The eyes of the two people looked at each other, but the confidence in Han Feng's eyes finally made Village Chief Wen turn his gaze away.
Han Feng spoke again: "I can really see it!" ”
"Tell me!"
Han Feng said: "Okay, then let's start with our entrance to the village."
First of all, there are a lot of coffins in this princess's grave, which is nothing to say, your village sells coffins.
The first strange thing that Lao Xu and I encountered was the black shadow on the narrow path, of course, it was just a tree, but the shape of the tree was too strange, very much like a tall figure, so Lao Xu was wrong.
This tree is not ordinary, I looked at it carefully, it was obviously deliberately pruned, cut off all the excess branches on both sides, make a general human shape, and put it in the dark night, plus the surrounding coffins and the gloomy atmosphere of the whole village, isn't it scary?
The second thing I encountered was the lonely grave by the weir pond, which was very interesting, and I admired the villager who threw stones into the weir pond in the grass behind the lonely grave in the middle of the night.
His disguise was also very good, even I couldn't find out where he was hiding.
If this brother can be sent to my army, then I don't have to say, he must be a good hand at fighting devils!
The cry of the woman in the cornfield behind is probably someone deliberately pretending to be a ghost in the field.
As for the villagers hiding in the house when they saw us, and they didn't open the door when they knocked, I think these should be all explained by the old village chief, right?
I can see that the old village chief is a person with great wisdom, in the troubled times, borrowing the name of **, and deliberately looking for a few people to pretend to be ghosts, it is indeed possible to avoid those timid and troublesome people and unnecessary troubles, right? ”
Village Chief Wen's expression had changed from solemnity to amazement, and he sighed with emotion: "Commander Han, you are really a great figure in the Eighth Route Army, for so many years, there are many outsiders in our village, but they are all afraid, you are still the first person who can discover these secrets at once." ”
Xu Zilin couldn't sit still, and his tone was urgent: "Village chief, what do you mean, it turns out that everything we encountered last night was fake?"
I see! I said, how can there be ghosts in this world! ”
Village Chief Wen said seriously: "Doll, I don't dare to say it so truthfully, our village worships ghosts and gods, we believe that ghosts and gods must exist, and ghosts and gods will bless our village." ”
Han Feng said: "Lao Xu, in this troubled world, the fellow villagers have their own set of means to survive, and we can't interfere." ”
Xu Zilin nodded.
Han Feng got up and said, "Old man, then let's talk about it here!" We're here to see what's going on in your village.
I'll tell you the truth, the current situation is not very good, if my guess is right, it is estimated that the little devils may come to our area in the near future to carry out a big sweep, and then you can stop the devils, then it is impossible to say. ”
The old village chief's face became a little ugly, and the devil also had the word "ghost", ** I am afraid that I can't stop them.
"Commander Han, wait, the little devil is coming to sweep, you Eighth Route Army can't just watch it, right?"
"Of course not, this time our team has nearly 400 people, and we are now stationed in Xiaoniu Village, and our mission is to protect the safety of the villagers in this area."
Village Chief Wen sighed with emotion: "Thank God, with Captain Han here, we are finally relieved, Captain Han, if you are not in a hurry, you can sit here and eat lunch before leaving." ”
Han Feng said with a smile: "There's no need to eat, old village chief, I'm very curious about the brother hiding behind the lonely grave, and the woman crying in the cornfield, why don't you call them over, and by the way, tell us about the specific situation of your princess's grave!" ”
"Alas, Captain Han is a smart man, since he can't hide anything from you, the old man can't hide it anymore. You're right, our princess's tomb is a village that sells coffins, and there's nothing else to do it.
But you should also know that this business that often deals with dead people, in the eyes of others, has to stick some unclean things on the body, plus our village is full of coffins, and there are old rules in the business of making coffins, "don't go out of the house at night", night is the world of the little ghosts, we living people can not disturb them, and the villagers will close the door tightly at night, and no one will come out.
After a long time, the surrounding villagers called us **, except for those who came to buy coffins, few outsiders would come.
Later, I thought that this is not necessarily all bad! Now there are wars everywhere, devils, bandits, bandits, robbers, white dogs, but there are many of them, if they don't dare to enter the village because they are afraid, we are safe.
So I specially asked the villagers to pretend to be ghosts and scare people, so that we would be more famous, so that none of the bad people would dare to come in. ”
"Hahahaha, the old village chief is really a man of great wisdom!"
"Let Captain Han see the joke, Hei Dan'er and Erya are coming back soon, so please trouble Captain Han to wait a little longer."
Han Feng said: "Black eggs? Is that the brother who hid behind the lonely grave and threw stones into the weir pond? ”
"That's him, this little baby's real name is Zhang Daring, because he looks black, the villagers call him a black egg.
This little baby is restless, the age is about the same as the two of you as the head of the Han regiment, my father and mother were starved to death during the famine that year, and I took my sister Erya to live in the village.
These two dolls grew up from eating 100 family meals, and they are usually obedient and sensible, so I handed it over to their brothers and sisters to do. ”
Han Feng smiled: "So that's the case, it's interesting." ”
