"Of course it was before." The person who led the group showed kindness for the first time and smiled at Liu Ziang and the others, "Before the new era, it was Yizhuang, but then it was abandoned. Twenty years ago, I don't know where a homeless man came to live inside. ”

"Been living there all these years. Moreover, the homeless man was still a literate person, and was occasionally able to teach the children in the village to read and write, so we didn't care too much. On the contrary, it is offered to him. ”

"The homeless man thought he was a monk, and he always liked to talk about Buddhism. More than 10 years ago, I picked up a child and shaved the child myself. At this time, a village name with many words came forward again.

This time, no one stopped the villager from talking.

After he finished speaking, the leader immediately waved his hand, "Okay, we should go back to the village, we still have something to do." Go wherever you like. ”

"Oh, yes!" Before the villagers had walked a few steps, the leader suddenly turned around and said to Liu Ziang: "You must find a place to live at night no matter what, and you must close the doors and windows." ”

"Something may happen in the village these days that will be very strange to you. But whatever you hear, you don't have to worry about it. Remember, especially at night to find a place to stay, close the doors and windows. ”

Hearing this, Liu Ziang and Xu Ling both frowned, glanced at each other, and finally nodded to the leader, and said in unison: "Don't worry, we will take care of ourselves." ”

The man didn't speak anymore, and after staring at Liu Ziang and Xu Ling for a while, he turned around and waved his hand at everyone.

Eventually, the troublesome group entered the village and dispersed in all corners.

In a short time, they all disappeared between the houses in the village.

It wasn't until they all disappeared that Liu Ziang and Xu Ling looked at each other and smiled. Each took one of Ling'er's hands and walked slowly towards the village.

It's like a family of three.

From the past to the present, small villages and townships with relatively isolated locations have generally relied on the mountains to eat the mountains and the water.

This small mountain village has no road to the outside world, and it is incompatible with other villages at the foot of Songshan Mountain.

The only source of income is the mountain behind the village.

And the economic sources of the backers are nothing more than a few.

Hunting in the mountains, medicinal herbs in the mountains, or fruit trees in the mountains.

Standing in the village, it is clear that the mountain behind the village has not been overdeveloped.

The trees in the mountains are not fruit trees.

In other words, the only source of income for this small mountain village is hunting and mountain medicinal herbs.

It's just that although the mountain behind this mountain village has not been overdeveloped, in this era, how can there be any beasts in the mountains?

It is also strange to say that since entering the new era, not only have there been many fewer strange things in the Central Plains compared to ancient times, but even the beasts and wild things in the mountains have also decreased a lot.

Even in the mountains behind this mountain village, only occasionally a few wild beasts are seen.

It seems that the gathering place of the herd has suddenly become a few areas specially set aside by the state.

It is impossible to rely on hunting in the mountains as a source of income.

As for mountain medicinal herbs?

If there is no artificial cultivation? How can a few mountains feed a village?

"It's weird." After only a few steps into the village, Liu Ziang had already figured out the situation in the mountains. And this made him frown.

Retracting his eyes from the mountain, he turned his head to look at Xu Ling beside him. "What do the people in this village have to feed themselves?"

As he spoke, he pointed to the houses around him and the slightly tattered concrete road beneath his feet.

"This mountain village is poor, but it has not reached the point where there is no food and clothing."

"And the ticket who just stopped us is full of energy no matter how you look at it. For people in other wealthy places, at best, their material life is not so good. ”

After speaking, Liu Ziang asked Xu Ling strangely: "That night, how did you find this village from the map?" ”

"The village is economically backward and few people come. Just the right fit for our exploration work. And if something happens, it won't affect too many innocents. ”

"I'm just making these simple calculations." Xu Ling shrugged slightly.

Immediately, she raised her hand and pointed to the small mountain village, "There are not many people in this village?" ”

Previously, Liu Ziang's attention had been on the hill behind the small mountain village.

It was only then that he noticed that they had not even met a single person along the way.

Someone just stopped them from entering the village, which is enough to show that it is not a deserted village!

And no matter what kind of village it is, it needs to work.

Today's weather is not a cold winter moon hunt, so naturally it also needs to work.

But how could there be no one?

"Could it be related to what the voter just said about the big events that are going to happen in this village in the next few days?" After a while, Xu Ling asked Liu Ziang in a low voice.

"I guess it's the person's condition." Liu Ziang nodded indifferently.

As soon as the voice fell, Xu Ling's murmur came out again. "What kind of big thing can it be, not letting cars into the village?"

As he spoke, Xu Ling raised his hand and pointed to the side of the road.

The road is a concrete road, and it has been paved for some years.

Where Xu Ling's finger pointed, the road surface was already in tatters.

But the marks of tatters are very conspicuous scratches.

Pointing to that place, Xu Ling said to Liu Ziang: "You see, this kind of trace looks like it has been pressed out by the car for many years. ”

"In this village, there are cars. But now it is too strange to not let cars in and out. ”

Liu Ziang raised his hand and stroked his chin.

After thinking for a moment, he said like a few family treasures: "Generally, the so-called major events gathered are almost inseparable. ”

He raised his hand, fingers sticking out one by one. "It's nothing more than weddings and funerals, marriages, prayers, sacrifices to the gods, wars, and migrations."

After speaking, Liu Ziang swept towards the village where there were not many people. "Look at it like this, weddings, funerals, and war migrations are impossible."

"I guess their so-called big event, nine times out of ten, it is a sacrifice to the gods."

As the words fell, he raised his eyebrows slightly at Xu Ling, "Guess what they are?" ”

"Do I have to guess? What else can I say besides praying? Xu Ling rolled her eyes at Liu Ziang, "Those people are all acting so evil. You must find a place to live, you must close the doors and windows, and don't pay attention to the sound when you hear it. Can it be a blessing? ”

After saying it angrily, she took out her phone.

The signal tower is on the hill behind the village, so naturally there is a signal, and it is 4G, and the signal is quite good.

Xu Ling quickly dialed the phone.
