Chapter 392: The Secret of the Town
After a while, a small town appeared in front of them in the distance.
Seeing this town, everyone's spirits were lifted.
"Speed up." Zhao Jue urged.
The town is located at the foot of a mountain, which is a depression.
From a distance, there are many people in the town, and it is quite lively.
Of course, this can't catch up with the towns of the rich lands.
When they came to the outside of the town, a large stone was erected outside, on which were engraved the words "Yellow Leaf Town".
"Yellow Leaf Town?" Jiang Youxi tugged at Zhao Jue's sleeve and said in a low voice, "I remember that Qin Che's letter mentioned this place before. ”
Zhao Jue thought for a while, nodded as well, and said, "I remember it too." I still remember Qin Che saying in his letter that the first person to go missing and the rumor of a haunting was Huangye Town. ”
It's just that it didn't take long for the haunting things on the side of Yellow Leaf Town to disappear, but instead rumors of haunting began to appear in Angry City, thousands of miles away from Yellow Leaf Town.
And it spread more and more, and even alarmed Silver Wing.
"Shall we stay here for a few more days and see if we can find anything?" They discussed as they walked towards Yellow Leaf Town.
Zhao Jue nodded, agreeing.
Huangye Town has always had a small foreign population, and Jiang Youxi's group of people are all good-looking, so they attracted countless eyes as soon as they arrived at the city gate.
The group entered the town without seeing it, and found an inn to stay.
The town is not big, and there is only one inn.
The environment is not good, but it is better to be clean.
They asked for two upper rooms, and then asked the boss to bring a few buckets of hot water.
During those three days in the forest, the water was only enough to drink, and if you wanted to wash, you had to go to the mountain spring.
Coupled with those snakes yesterday, Jiang Youxi felt that he still had the smell of snakes on his body now.
After washing, Jiang Youxi went out.
Although there are few people in the town, the things sold are quite complete, but in half a day, I bought half of the things I wanted.
Jiang Youxi handed the things to Chen Mu and asked him to take them back first, then swayed and found a small noodle stall to sit down, and said, "Boss, come two bowls of noodles." ”
"Boss, you're quite lively here, I just came out of the forest, and I thought it was no one." While waiting for the noodles, Jiang Youxi skillfully talked to the boss.
This boss is also talkative, and Jiang Youxi is a foreigner at first glance.
It's rare to see an outsider's boss more willing to talk.
"Where are you, and how did you get out of that wood? There are a lot of snakes there. The boss quickly boiled water and boiled noodles, said.
Jiang Youxi sighed: "It's not much. Yesterday we encountered a large group of snakes, and if we hadn't brought some medicinal powder with us, we would have become corpses in the woods today. ”
"By the way, boss, why are there so many snakes in the forest, do they usually disturb the people?"
When the boss heard this, he smiled heartily: "That's not going to happen." It's just a few that come out, so it's fine. ”
"How many are you called? We came across more than a thousand yesterday. Tsk, now I feel scared when I think about that scene. Jiang Youxi said as he shuddered, looking scared.
The boss said strangely, "We often go into the forest, but we haven't encountered so many snakes, why did you encounter so many snakes?" I'm afraid the little boy didn't lie to me. ”
When Jiang Youxi heard this, he glanced at Zhao Jue.
It doesn't look like a lie to see this boss.
But what they saw yesterday was definitely not a hallucination.
Zhao Jue lowered his eyebrows and asked, "Then will there be occasional snake tides here?" ”
"No, we've lived here for so long, and occasionally we go into the woods to catch snakes, rabbits, or whatever, and we've never heard of snake tides. Are you hallucinating because you're so tired? ”
Zhao Jue didn't think it was an illusion.
But the boss clearly didn't believe their words.
Zhao Jue and Jiang Youxi didn't want to fight with him, so they changed the topic.
As he spoke, Jiang Youxi entered the haunting of Angry City.
As soon as she said the word haunting, she saw the boss's face change, as if she remembered something particularly terrible.
Jiang Youxi pretended to look at him in surprise and said, "Boss, what's wrong with you?" Why do you seem so scared? Hey, what are you afraid of, Angry City is far away from here, even if it's haunted, it won't make us here. ”
That being said, the boss's expression was getting more and more ugly, and there was a faint paleness.
Jiang Youxi said strangely: "What's wrong with you, boss?" Is it afraid...... Is it? Then I won't talk about it, so as not to scare the boss. She deliberately hid the ghost word, which was very considerate.
But the boss shook his head, and looked at Jiang Youxi with a particularly strange look.
More like ...... Through Jiang Youxi, the people on the side are the same.
I don't even know that the noodles in the pot are mushy.
Jiang Youxi reminded with a smile: "Boss, the noodle soup is paste." ”
"Ahhh The boss hurriedly poured out the pot of noodles and boiled the noodles with water.
But this time, the boss was surprisingly quiet.
Jiang Youxi and Zhao Jue glanced at each other.
Zhao Jue asked her softly, "Why don't you continue to ask?" "Looking at this person's state, as long as you ask again, you should be able to ask something.
Jiang Youxi shook his head.
She said: "Don't worry, you wait, at most this bowl of noodles is cooked, we can hear it." ”
The water gurgled and the boss silently ordered the noodles.
Until the noodles are cooked through, then serve them to Jiang Youxi.
Zhao Jue asked with his eyes: Why haven't you said it yet?
Jiang Youxi handed him a slightly calm look.
The boss put the noodles down and said, "Two guests, please use it." ”
Jiang Youxi thanked him, picked up his chopsticks and began to eat noodles.
As soon as I ate two bites, I heard the boss sigh heavily.
Jiang Youxi looked up suspiciously, looked at the boss, and said, "Boss, what's wrong with you?" ”
The boss, who had been silent before, raised his head, sighed heavily, and said, "Actually, it's not that I'm afraid, it's just ...... Alas! ”
"What's wrong? If the boss doesn't dislike it, can you tell me about it? Maybe I've got a way to fix it. Jiang Youxi smiled sincerely.
But in the eyes of the boss, this is just the kindness of this little boy.
The boss said slowly: "This matter is a long story, and it has to start from more than half a year ago......
More than half a year ago, Huangye Town was actually even more lively than it is now.
But one night, the always peaceful Huangye Town suddenly appeared missing.
At that time, everyone only thought that the woman was lost and had an accident, so after looking for a few days, there was still no news at all. Just when everyone gave up, the woman's body appeared.
The corpse was covered with wounds, and the death was miserable.
At that time, the people in the village thought that they had encountered a fierce beast outside.
But no one expected that this was just the beginning.
Since that day, there have been occasional disappearances in the town, either mysteriously appearing after a while, or never heard from.
Some of the corpses died in an extremely horrific manner.
A master came from behind, saying that there was evil in Huangye Town, and asked everyone to pay to exorcise evil spirits.
As a result, the evil was not driven away, but the person who drove away the evil died first.
Since then, rumors of the haunting of Yellow Leaf Town have spread completely.
After that, the haunting became bigger and bigger, and in the entire Yellow Leaf Town, many people disappeared mysteriously, not only mysteriously, but also many people, ghosts could be seen floating around in the middle of the night.
This went on for a few months, until some time ago, when it stopped.
Although it has stopped, the entire Huangye Town is still panicked, except during the day, they never dare to go out at night, for fear of encountering an emergency.
Jiang Youxi said to Zhao Jue: "You say, is this related to the matter of Beiyan?" ”
"It's hard to say." Zhao Jue shook his head, "It's quite far away from Beiyan here, and how this haunting is doing, whether it is the same as Beiyan's side, I don't know yet, so this conclusion can't be made." ”
That being said, Jiang Youxi has an intuition that the matter here should be the same as that of Beiyan.
But how did these medicines get here?
Just like Zhao Jue said, the two sides are so far apart, Beiyan shouldn't have deliberately chosen this place for experiments, right?
Jiang Youxi thought as he walked.
"Be careful."
Jiang Youxi stumbled, but fortunately, Zhao Jue reacted in time, supported the person, and couldn't help complaining, saying: "You too, just walk, what to think, if you fall later, you will hurt." ”
Jiang Youxi came back to his senses, smiled at Zhao Jue, and said comfortingly: "It's okay." I'm just thinking, when are we going to take some time to catch ghosts? Well? ”
"Catching ghosts?" Heh, this person is really idle.
But if she wants to go, Zhao Jue will not refuse.
The two agreed on a time, and then went back to the inn first.
As soon as I came in, I saw Xiao Er guarding the door and said to them: "A few guest officers, there is a curfew in our town at night, and we can't go out again after the people are decided, please go back to rest early, and please come out early tomorrow morning." ”
That's the same thing that the noodle boss said.
Jiang Youxi and Zhao Jue glanced at each other, and then responded.
asked Xiao Er to send some food, then went back to the room, and then called Chen Mu over.
"Sir, ma'am, what do you command?" Chen Mu entered the house and greeted them very politely.
Zhao Jue looked at Jiang Youxi and asked her to command.
Jiang Youxi said: "There is an action tonight, and we will set off after the people are decided." ”
"Yes, ma'am, I'll go back and prepare."
Jiang Youxi nodded, signaling him to go back first, and then exchange money together at the inn when the time comes.
After eating, Jiang Youxi sorted out the things he bought one by one, especially the medicinal powder.
Before, in the forest, the medicinal powder was used for a while, and even some of them were not snake repellent. Now she doesn't have much stock in her hands.
There's action tonight, and she's going to have to prepare some more.
In addition, he will still use it later, and Jiang Youxi will have to prepare as much as he can.
