Chapter 21: Ghost Village (2)
Near evening, Ye Ziye was woken up by Yun Midu. I thought it was just a short rest, but who knew that three hours had passed when I opened my eyes.
Ye Ziye rubbed his eyes, a little incredible. He slept a lot last night, why did he sleep for so long in the afternoon when he closed his eyes and opened them?
Seeing Ye Ziye with a cloudy face, Yun Midu calmly didn't explain anything, just asked him to wash his face and then take his things and prepare to go up the mountain.
Ye Ziye originally thought that it was already dark, or he would get up early tomorrow and go again. But seeing Yun Midu's face comparable to the bottom of the pot, he still chose to shut up.
The two walked up the mountain with the hot pot, probably sitting in the office all year round to work, and after climbing for less than an hour, Ye Ziye's physical fitness couldn't keep up.
Looking at Yun Midu, who was still breathless and walking like a fly in front of him, he shouted twice in recognition, waved his hand at him, and asked to rest.
After all, it is a deep mountain that is uncultivated, and it is extremely difficult to walk.
Yun Midu glanced at Ye Ziye, sighed slightly, and turned around and gave him a bottle of water.
"After a break, we continued to walk inside. Try to get to the ghost village before midnight. ”
"Why do we have to come here at night? Can't you check it during the day? It's so frightening..."
Yun Midu listened to Ye Ziye's complaints, hooked the corners of his mouth and chuckled.
"Any idea why you've slept for so long?"
Instead of answering his question, Yun Midu asked him another question.
Ye Ziye frowned and shook his head, although he didn't know what was going on, he also knew that this was definitely not normal.
"The farmer drugged your water, and of course mine has it, but it doesn't work for me."
Yun Midu sneered.
"Why? We have no grievances with him, why should he drug us? ”
"You use your brain to think about it, like you said, we don't have a beam with him, so why did he drug us?"
Ye Ziye carefully recalled all the chats they had with the eldest brother, and the only one who could say anything was related, and the only thing he had to do was to mention the matter of this ghost village.
Ye Ziye asked with some uncertainty: "You mean... Does it have anything to do with this ghost village? ”
Yun Midu nodded, took a sip of water and continued, "You want to!" If there really is such a mysterious tribal village in this deep mountain, and it is discovered by the people below the mountain, with the thinking of modern people, will they let them, not be curious, not bother, or even call the police? ”
When Yun Midu said this, Ye Ziye reacted. This farmer brother seems to know a lot of things!
Knowing that they were going into the mountains, he told these things, which seemed to be a warning not to let them approach, but in fact it was more like a lure.
To take the simplest example, if you were asked not to think about the Smurfs right now, what would be the first thing that came to your mind?
So the average person will still check it, after all, human curiosity is difficult to control. Not to mention that the two of them originally came for this tribe.
Lure them to see that tribe, but what does it mean to drug them?
"This is a bit of a contradiction! You see, if he deliberately lured us to this ghost village, then why did he stun us? ”
Yun Midu looked at the gray moonlight in the sky and said, "This is also the reason why I rushed up the mountain overnight, and when you get to that place, you will understand." If I'm not mistaken, the farmer is not that simple. ”
Ye Ziye was a little ignorant, but he didn't continue to dig into the roots. After resting enough, the two continued to walk deeper into the mountains.
Almost out of a dense pine forest, I saw a large clearing in the distance, surrounded by thick trees.
A place that looked like an entrance with a huge grimace.
"Do you really have a grimace? But why is this grimace so strange? ”
Ye Ziye looked at the thing that looked like a face but didn't feel like a face and muttered.
"That's the totem, the god that this tribe worships."
Yun Midu quietly walked to Ye Ziye's side, approached him and said.
Ye Ziye almost didn't shout because of Yun Midu's sudden approach.
"Big brother, can you stop talking suddenly at this time? People are scary, scared to death, okay? ”
Yun Midu shrugged his shoulders indifferently, the hot pot on his shoulder jumped on Ye Ziye's back, and the thief sneered: "A totem scares you like this, if you see that powerful ghost, won't you ascend to heaven on the spot?" ”
Ye Ziye turned his head irritably, not wanting to pay attention to it. You must know that once an atheist witnesses unconventional creatures, the blow and impact is very big.
During this time, I finally got used to various forms of monsters, and now it's time for ghosts to be wronged again.
Youkai are physical no matter what, at least they can be physically attacked and defended, right? But this kind of thing that floats around and curses, how can he, an ordinary person, not be afraid?
After observing for a while, they found nothing unusual, and the two set up camp on the spot, and they could see the ghost village at any time from a high place.
About half an hour later, the entrance to the ghost village was a little noisy, Ye Ziye looked at it, and then in the hazy moonlight, he actually saw an acquaintance.
I saw the farmer's brother at the bottom of the mountain, carrying a sack of things and walking to the door of the ghost village.
The bag was untied in front of the men, and inside was a thin man with sharp beaks and monkey cheeks.
Ye Ziye immediately understood the reason why this person drugged him, and he really had something to do with this ghost village.
Because of the distance, Ye Ziye couldn't hear what they were talking about.
At this time, Yun Midu handed him a stone-like thing and asked him to put it to his ear.
Ye Ziye took it and tried to get close to his ears, but he could hear the conversation of those people from the stone.
"There is only this today, there were originally two more, and the vigilance was too high, so I went up the mountain alone.
But as long as it's in the mountains, you can catch it yourself. ”
"One a night is true, but she won't be happy if she doesn't have enough energy.
We weren't the only ones who were angry and suffering. ”
The elder who connected with him said slowly, and the farmer's face was a little bad.
"It hasn't rained much recently, there are few mushrooms on the mountain, and no one wants to come to this deep mountain to play, so there's really no way."
The old man nodded and did not speak again, letting the people on the side pick up the sleeping man.
"You can go back, and if she's satisfied today, your daughter will get better."
The farmer nodded, turned around and walked down the mountain.
Ye Ziye looked at the old man in a daze, the one in his mouth should be the ghost they were looking for.
But what does this have to do with the farmer's daughter?
Didn't you say that the curse was only for the people of the ghost village?
And the person who was brought in by the stun saw that it meant to be dedicated to the ghost, so did the people of the ghost village use this to escape the curse?
All kinds of questions flashed back and forth in Ye Ziye's mind, but he couldn't find a reasonable explanation.
