Yuesheng was the first to recover, so he wandered around the temple and outside the temple, looking at this desolate village, looking at the hares and mice that poked their heads out of the corners from time to time, and the afterglow of the sunset this afternoon, it was also full of fun.

Following Yuesheng, Nan Haoer and Gemini have also recovered one after another! The three of them went out of the temple gate to find Yuesheng, and the four of them took off and chose a direction and flew out.

Yuesheng and their flight were not very high from the ground, after all, the first goal of the four of them was to find a populated village and ask about the situation of the deserted village just now.

Finally, seventy or eighty miles away, Yuesheng and the others finally found a village, and immediately the four of them landed under an old locust tree next to the village, dressed up, and walked into the village.

As soon as I arrived at the entrance of the village, I met a few old people sitting in the corner of the wall basking in the sun and chatting, and they were estimated to be sixty or seventy years old.

"Senior sister! You go up and ask! ”

After all, communicating with strangers, the lady has a more intimate feeling, so Yuesheng arranged for Nan Haoer to go into battle.

Immediately, Nan Hao'er ran towards the group of old people.

Seeing that four strangers suddenly appeared at the entrance of the village, the old men immediately stopped chatting and chatted about their daily routines, looked at Yuesheng and the others, and finally turned their eyes to the young girl who rushed over.

"Old man! Elderly! Ask you about it! May I? ”

only listened to Nan Hao'er's sweet mouth.

Those old men, you look at me, I look at you, the last old man whose hair and beard have been completely gray bowed and said to Nan Hao'er:

"Little girl! Just ask whatever you want! ”

"Hmmm! Thank you! That's the case, I want to ask why that deserted village, which is more than 70 miles southeast of yours, is now uninhabited? What about the original villagers? Where did it all go? ”

I only heard Nan Hao'er's intimate voice resounding in the ears of these old people.

The gray-haired old man's face changed when he heard this, and several people behind him immediately lowered their heads.

Nan Hao'er saw that this village was a little weird, otherwise why were these people collectively silent.

"Why, can't you say? If you can't say it, just say it.

"Alas! It's not that I can't say it, it's just that the village is too miserable! It's so miserable! ”

The old man pondered for a long time before he spoke.

"Anyway, it's decades old, right? Brothers! ”

"Almost, I remember it for forty years!"

"Hmmm! Pregnant! ”

The old men in the back immediately chimed in.

"That was more than forty years ago, and there were a lot of people in that village, two or three hundred, alas! I heard that the village was haunted at that time, which made people panic, but I remember it clearly! Soon after the haunting, there was another plague in that village, and almost overnight, all the hundreds of people in the village fell ill and died! It's miserable, or the people who entered the village later found out, at that time, some of those people were lying in the yard, some were lying on the bed, and even the little baby who had just been born followed it!

I don't know how many days have these people been dead, before someone reported to the government, and the government came to us to find a lot of strong laborers, and then went to bury those people! ”

The white-haired old man said slowly, as if reminiscing about those years.

"Elder Zhang! Didn't you go there then? ”

An old man in the back spoke.

"Yes! At that time, I was still a young adult, and now I have been more than 40 years! Old! Alas! At that time, those people we went to were all carried to the courtyard by the people of the previous government, their heads were covered with white cloths, and they were very mad, rows and rows, neatly stacked on the side of the road, a gust of wind blew, and the white cloth blew, and we could see those foaming at the mouth! It's so miserable, the government said, this is the plague, and we have to dig deep pits and bury them all! ”

The old man paused when he said this, maybe there was too much content, maybe the scene at that time was unbearable.

"More than 10 of us dug a whole day's pit, and it took two days to bury these adults and children. How pitiful! We left the village in a hurry, fearing that we would also be infected by the plague, and more than a dozen people had been eating decoction outside the village for several days! Only then did I dare to go back to the village! I'm afraid of spreading the plague to the village! We've got a hundred or so people here! ”

The old man stopped at this point, as if the story had been told!

At this time, Nan Hao'er said at the right time:

"Old man, why did you say that village was haunted before the plague?"

The old man glanced back at a few old people, and then looked at the three Yuesheng in front of him, and then slowly spoke.

"Originally, I shouldn't have told you young people about this ghostly thing, for fear that you would have nightmares when you sleep at night!"

Nan Hao'er said with a smile:

"Old man! We're bold! Don't worry! Can't scare us! ”

The old man glanced at Nan Hao'er, nodded, and then continued to speak:

"What a haunted thing! Or when we were digging a pit somewhere, someone from another village said, he said a few days ago, he ran into that Shitang Village, oh, Shitang Village is the deserted village you said, he said that he met that Liu Laoqi, yes is called Liu Laoqi, this Liu Laoqi, is a drunkard, that person met Liu Laoqi in the town, and he was drunk and told him, saying that their village is haunted! It is said that a mother and son of a family suddenly screamed in the middle of the night, and then woke up everyone in the village, and after everyone arrived, they saw the ghost fire flashing in the yard of the screaming mother and son, and when these ghost fires passed, the mother and son both died! That Liu Laoqi said that the mother and son were so miserable!

At that time, where did the drunkard Liu Laoqi say this, and everyone thought he was cursing others, and he was also drunk! After hearing the joke, the crowd didn't take it to heart! What I didn't expect was that when everyone saw Liu Laoqi again, he was already lying in his yard, still holding a wine bottle in his hand when he died! Of course, at this time, because there is no evidence, they are all dead, and there is no proof of death! So the government didn't care, because it was died by the plague, and it was haunted, who would dare to live there! The natural village is so deserted! It's a pity that there are hundreds of acres of fertile land! ”

The old man finished speaking, chirped, chirped, chirped! It's the end of telling the story of the deserted village!

"Good! Thank you, what a trivial amount of silver, you old men go buy something delicious! ”

Nan Hao'er said as she distributed the trivial silver in her hand to these old men.

"That's a good idea! Thank you! Little girl! ”

The old men looked at the silver in their hands and hurriedly thanked Nan Hao'er.

"No thanks, no thanks! Then we'll take our leave! Elderly! ”

After Nan Hao'er finished speaking, he returned to Yuesheng's side.

"Let's go!"

Yuesheng greeted and walked out of the village, and Gemini Star and Nan Hao'er hurriedly followed!
