Chapter 38 Shanghuai Village
As best they could, the master cooked the richest meal for them, and even slaughtered an old hen.
Finally, I ate a decent hot dish and hot meal, and I was extremely satisfied. Rujiu took out a silver ingot from his purse and handed it to the village chief.
"Thank you, my husband, for your hospitality, then I'll leave first."
As he spoke, he stood up and led the twigs, and they wanted to go out.
I didn't want the old village chief to suddenly block the way and stop them.
Su Mi, who was shocked by his actions, immediately took a few steps forward and separated the person who was about to make a move with his hand, "What do you want to do this old guy?" ”
"Please also ask Childe, save hundreds of lives in our Shanghuai Village. Please, please! ”
With a pop, the old village chief knelt straight to the ground, crying in tears.
This change made the three of Sumi stunned, what is the situation now?
"You get up first, bow down to my young master at such an old age, is this a curse?!"
Su Liang also stepped forward and stood next to Su Mi, completely blocking the young lady and Xiaozhi behind them.
"No, no, no, little old man doesn't." When Wang Sihe heard this, he hurriedly waved his hand, this station is not it, nor is it to continue to kneel, and the sweat on his anxious head has come out.
"I, I... Little Lao'er just wants to ask his son to help and save us. ”
Push aside the two people who were blocking the front with open hands. Rujiu looked at the village chief kneeling on the ground, his eyes were distant and had some deep meaning, "Oh? What do you want me to help you with, and how do you think I can help you? ”
"It's... I'm just guessing that nobles are more insightful and capable than us who dig in the soil, right? ”
Nodding noncommittally, Rujiu continued to walk out, "That makes sense." But so what? ”
"Keep up, let's go."
"Yes, young master."
Su Mi Suliang, who was stopping the village chief, saw that the young lady had already left the courtyard gate with the twig, so she let go of him, turned around and trotted to follow.
After getting into the carriage, Rujiu did not let Sumi drive out of the village.
His fingers lightly tapped the low table, and Rujiu instructed Su Liang outside, "Little wolf, you go around the village outside, isn't it quite able to say, go and inquire about what is going on in this village." ”
"Sumi drove to a remote place and waited."
"Yes." "No problem, miss."
……
Su Liang people can talk a little, and they hold some delicious snacks and candies, and soon make friends who can't control their mouths and can't open their legs.
However, the children's words are always a little exaggerated, and they also add some of their cranky thoughts, in short, the whole thing in Huaishang Village is foggy for people who listen.
"A ghost has come to seek revenge on the people of the village? Except for children, there is no exception? ”
"Yes, it seems that the family surnamed Zhang on the easternmost end has not been harmed."
"Interesting." For a long time, I didn't think that it would be this family surnamed Zhang who was making trouble, but even so, the Zhang family was afraid that it was inseparable from this harmful ghost.
Su Mi asked puzzled, "Miss, are we going to take care of this?" ”
"Let's go to this house first."
Tube? It's impossible to meddle in things, and if you don't have the heart to hurt people, how can you provoke ghosts that hurt people?
Judging from the actions of these people, I am afraid that they have not done bad things.
At the easternmost end of the village, we have reached the foot of a certain hill. Two or three mud houses, listening to the quiet in the courtyard as if there were no domestic animals, two teenage and a half men were looking at the uninvited guests in front of them with a defensive expression.
"Don't be like this, we're not bad people, we're just going to ask for directions." Su Liang's small mouth was explained, "This is our young master." ”
"Asking for directions? Don't deceive people, we watched you come out of Village Chief Wang's house. ”
"Yes, you guys hurry up and leave from our door, or don't blame us for being polite."
As he spoke, he picked up the guy from behind the door, one with a pole and the other with a deadbolt. As if he dared to hurt someone if he didn't agree with him, the ruthlessness in his eyes was not like a bluff.
This Shanghuai Village is really interesting, the people who are retaliated by the ghosts act gently and politely, while the people who are ignored by the ghosts are fierce and vicious.
Those who don't know really think that it is, the ghost is afraid that the wicked will only deceive the good.
The wrists flipped and two silver needles flew straight into their acupuncture points. The two people who couldn't move in an instant looked frightened.
"Guard, I'll go in and have a look."
Leaving this sentence, he took a light gong for a long time and entered the courtyard alone.
A tea time passed, and just when Sumi couldn't help but want to follow in to see how the young lady was doing, she flew out flutteringly.
"Let's go."
When passing by the door, Rujiu stepped forward and took out the silver needle that held the two people in place, and without saying anything, he was the first to leave.
The people who stayed in place looked at each other, and after coming back to their senses, they each stepped forward at speed. Su Mi and the three chased after their own young lady, and the Zhang brothers naturally ran back to the house.
The carriage finally staggered back onto the official road.
The twigs in the car frequently peeked at the young lady who closed her eyes and recuperated.
The two men outside the car door tried to prick up their ears and eavesdrop on the movement inside.
The three of them felt like cats scratching their hearts, and they couldn't sit still, and their curiosity was about to burst.
"Miss..."
"Hmm."
I couldn't bear it anymore, and Xiaozhi finally asked, "What's going on in this Shanghuai Village?" You tell us about it~ Let's see how long it is, wow, miss. ”
"Don't shake me, dizzy."
A slap away the little paws with which she shook her arm. Rujiu opened his eyes, as if he could see the situation outside through the curtain of the car, "You two can listen to it if you want." ”
Hearing this, Su Liang's eyes lit up, and Su Liang immediately rolled up the curtain, turned around and looked straight at her.
If it weren't for the car to watch the road, Sumi would have wanted to do the same.
"Their faces are black and blue, and they are poisoned, that's for sure. Have you noticed what's wrong in front of every house in the village? ”
Door?
The three of them thought about it carefully.
Xiao Zhi raised his hand and took the lead in speaking, "It seems that there are a bunch of black and white stones piled up, posing..."
I can't describe what it looks like, it's a very complex pattern, and the black and red layer on the stone is unusually viscous.
"And a strange little flag." Su Liang added.
It is said that it is actually an overall fan made up of several small flags, and the things written on it are the same as ghost drawings.
"This banner is an evil form of witchcraft, and the stone mound is a sacrificial altar for prayers to evil spirits.
It is most prevalent in the area of Nanban Ludi. Legend has it that no matter what wish is made, as long as the witch ceremony is erected and the virgin blood is sacrificed, the wish will be fulfilled by it. ”
The collection of books in Wuwei Valley is very extensive, and there are many records and transcriptions of strange people and strange things, witchcraft and spells.
At the beginning of the barrier valley, when she was tired and tired, these things were just used to relieve her boredom, and they were her spiritual food, and the books full of mysterious and strange books always made her fascinated.
Since Rujiu's memory has been improved by the Qingxin Fruit, it is difficult to remember the things he has memorized.
"So, the so-called ghost revenge is actually artificially poisoned?"
"What wish do you have to make to that evil spirit to get on yourself?"
"It's all said to be an evil spirit, why do you want to do it? And the sacrifices won't all be girls from each family, right? ”
"The Zhang family, who was not poisoned, is the only one who has not made a wish to the evil spirit?"
"Miss, did you find anything in his house?"
"Yes, miss, is there someone hiding inside? Or something else? ”
The three of them are chattering, you and I are a sentence, and the quarrel is like a headache for a long time.
"You don't need to know the rest, curiosity can be there, but don't dig into the roots."
Needless to say, if it's too dirty, it pollutes the hearts of the three people who are still children.
Thinking of the scene he saw in the cellar, Rujiu closed his eyes again and sighed in his heart.
It is still possible to live if you do evil in heaven, but you cannot live if you do it yourself.
It won't take long for Shanghuai Village to become a real ghost village.
Sacrificing a living person is already a matter of harming nature, let alone a loved one?
It's just that the wizard who hides in the shadows and poisons is indeed damned. If it weren't for his teaching, how could these ordinary people know about the evil arts in the far south barbarians, and how could there be such a tragedy.
I just hope that what I give her can be used to the fullest.
