"Wood, let's just go?" The madman stood beside me and looked at the place where the grave had disappeared, and seemed a little unwilling.

"Let's go out first, I always think she knows something, not only Ah Yun's death, but also this disappearing grave." I subconsciously glanced at Li Jingyao, and whispered to the madman, I don't know if Li Jingyao heard it.

"Then go and ask her, Ah Yun's death is unknown, and this place is evil, don't ask to understand that my heart is always unsteady." When the madman said this, he deliberately blocked his mouth with his hand, afraid that Li Jingyao would see what he was saying.

I shook my head at the madman, and didn't say anything more, but I was still pondering. Whether it was when I saw Ah Yun's corpse, or when I just saw the grave, Li Jingyao's reaction made me hard to believe that she didn't know anything, don't ask to understand, let alone be crazy, I don't have a solid heart, but now is not the time to ask this, after all, there is still a group of villagers to deal with, I don't think those villagers will just give up, I don't know if anything will happen on the way out.

"What are you two discussing, sneaky?" Shen Muhan saw that the madman and I had been muttering, and also came over, so frightened that the madman kept "shhh

Li Jingyao ignored the three of us and continued to walk towards the village, as if she was not interested in what we were talking about, but I always felt that the words we had just whispered had drifted into her ears. I made a gesture towards Shen Muhan and the madman, and followed closely.

Before we could enter the village, we saw the villagers standing in the courtyard, obviously waiting for us, although we didn't know what they were going to do, but it didn't look like good stubble.

"Huh! I haven't settled accounts with them yet, but they're endless? As soon as the madman saw the villagers, he thought of the things they regarded Ah Yun as an anomaly, and he had no place to spill his anger, so he rolled up his sleeves vigorously to settle accounts with the villagers. I quickly grabbed him, although there was some tension now, but those villagers didn't make any moves, and it was of course best not to have a conflict.

"Wood, what should I do?" Shen Muhan looked at the people in the village from a distance and was a little worried, of course, this is not only because of the attitude of the villagers towards us, but also because of Li Jingyao, which is also what I am more worried about. I glanced at Li Jingyao, although I haven't held a sword in my hand yet, but I have seen the speed at which this eldest lady draws a sword, and as soon as Bao Buqi entered the village, the sword was inexplicably held in his hand. Although these villagers do make people a little angry, after all, they are unarmed, and there are no big treacherous acts, if there are casualties, they still can't get away after all.

"Where's the ship?" When I was thinking about something, Li Jingyao suddenly stopped and turned her head to ask.

"Holy! If the eldest lady hadn't asked, I would have forgotten, wood, do you know where the ship is? ”

I shook my head at the madman, but did not speak, thinking to myself that the ship was not mine, how could I know where it was.

"Wood! If you look at the topography of this village, the holy spring should be the lowest place, and if there is water, it should be in the direction of the holy spring. Shen Muhan glanced at it from a distance and made a general judgment.

At first, I thought it was best not to pass through the village, so as not to have a conflict, I could stop the madman, but no one could stop Li Jingyao, and it was best to avoid the conflict. But now it seems that there is no way to hide, and the holy spring is on the other side of the village, and there is a village just between us, and it seems that the village must be entered.

I told them the general situation, especially the madman, and told me several times not to do anything, and in the end, the madman hated me and nagged, and I still repeated it a few times before stopping, in fact, it was mainly through the madman to remind Li Jingyao.

As soon as we entered the village, the people in the courtyard stood in front of the fence and watched us, and I was relieved that the expected scene of righteous indignation did not appear, and the group attack did not occur. Judging from what Lin Liding told me before, although on the day of the ceremony, the villagers respected me, but most of it was from the village chief's request, and now that Lin Liding is gone, the village chief's face must be not good.

Every time we passed a courtyard, the people behind the courtyard wall would take a few steps back, looking at us with a somewhat complicated look in their eyes, and they couldn't see what they meant at all. I saw that the villagers were not as excited as I imagined, so I tried to ask about the boat, but I didn't expect that as soon as I came over, the villagers behind the courtyard wall withdrew as if they had seen a ghost, and no one answered, just looked at me quietly, and there seemed to be a trace of pity in that look.

"Wood, forget it, don't you see people hiding like a plague god, don't go up, it's a big deal, let's find it ourselves, I don't believe it, it's such a big village, the boat can still run." The madman seemed to be talking to me, but he deliberately raised his voice very high, apparently for the villagers to hear. However, not a single person accosted the madman, let alone refuted it.

We walked until we finally entered the courtyard and someone wanted to talk to us, it was the woman who had told me about Ayun's life in the holy spring before. But the man had just taken a step forward and before he could speak, he was stopped by the man next to him, who should be her husband.

Her husband leaned into her ear and said something, and the woman looked at us with a look of intent to speak, hesitated for a moment and gave up.

"Alas! I thought that someone had finally found out on their conscience, but in the end, I was still self-inflicted. The madman looked at the middle-aged woman and sighed.

"Alright, madman, don't talk cold. You see the way she looks now, if she talks to us, the villagers won't know what to do to her when we're gone. Shen Muhan patted the madman on the shoulder and reminded the madman not to continue. The madman pursed his lips and said no more.

I saw that I had already walked out of the village, and it was not very far from the holy spring, but I didn't see the slightest shadow of water, let alone a boat.

"Sister Han, there is no boat here, did we go wrong?" The madman stood on tiptoe and looked around, then turned around and asked Shen Muhan.

"Probably not, the terrain of the village is indeed the lowest here, if the boat is out of a water hole according to the villagers before, it means that the water here is connected to the outside, then it should be in a low-lying place." Although Shen Muhan was also a little puzzled, after analyzing his inference, he still didn't find any problems.

I looked at the madman and Shen Muhan's tangled appearance, walked up to Li Jingyao and said, "Maybe it's still farther away, let's continue to walk ahead." "Although I said it to the madman and Shen Muhan, I deliberately walked to Li Jingyao's side to see how she reacted, but my plan still fell through, Li Jingyao will always be the kind of attitude that I will follow wherever you go, as for what we said, how we analyzed it seems to have never had anything to do with her.

The four of them continued to walk forward for a while, they had far exceeded the scope of the holy spring, there was still no sign of water around, and they saw that they were about to reach the cliff, and they could only climb up in advance, and the bottom surface under their feet had become uneven, and they still did not see the slightest shadow of the boat.

"Wood, I think we might be wrong." Shen Muhan came over and looked at me and said, "Do you remember, I told you that the villagers here go to the holy spring whether they wash clothes or wash dishes?" I nodded, and Shen Muhan continued: "If that's the case, it may be for two reasons, one is that the holy spring is a special symbol, and the villagers may go there just because it is a holy spring. Another possibility is that the holy spring is the only source of water here, and the village name can only go there. ”

What Shen Muhan said is very reasonable, if it is the first case, it is easy to say, but if it is the second case, then our previous inferences are all wrong, if there is no other water source here except the holy spring, no matter how we go to the low-lying place, we will not be able to find the water source, let alone the boat. But if there is no water source, where is the water hole that the villagers are talking about? And where are the ships?

"Someone!"

I was thinking about it, and Li Jingyao suddenly said something out loud. I turned around and found a man walking towards us not far behind, covering his face with his hands, and as he walked, he kept looking behind him, looking sneaky, looking at the figure and clothes that should be the middle-aged woman.

After waiting for someone to walk in front of him and put his hand down, it was really that person. The middle-aged woman came up to us and bowed to me, and said, "Noble, although I don't know where you come from, I have always believed the words of the village chief, and I didn't dare to talk to you in the village just now, because they all said that you are dead, that you are ghosts, and that talking to you will bring disaster to the village." ”

I suddenly became interested in the middle-aged woman in front of me, since everyone in the village avoided us, why did this woman sneak past us and look for us.

After listening to my question, the middle-aged woman explained: "The place you went to, we call it the ghost mound, I don't know why it's called that, it's all handed down by the elders, and it is said that no one who has gone in will come out alive, so the people in the village will be afraid of you." But the village chief saved my life before, and since he said that you are a nobleman, then you must be different from ordinary people, and where ordinary people can't go, you will definitely be fine. ”

After listening to the woman's words, I realized that it was no wonder that the people in the village had become so afraid of us, there was such a legend.

"And what did you come to us for?" Shen Muhan walked up to the woman and asked.

"You must be looking to get out of here, right? I'm here to tell you where the ship is. The middle-aged woman lowered her voice, as if she was afraid that others would hear it, but there were only four of us here, and she was afraid of who would hear it.

"You go on until you go to the cliff, and then you go another 50 steps to the left and you will see a water hole, and the boat is in the water hole." The middle-aged woman didn't wait for us to react, turned around and hurried back to the village.

Now that we knew where the ship was, we didn't waste any more time, and according to the middle-aged woman, we found a water hole. When I heard the villagers say that it was a very low hole, I only knew that it was a very low hole, but when I really saw it, I knew that it was a bit overestimated when it was a hole, and it was more accurate to say that it was a seam. But whatever it is, we have found our way out after all, and it is time for us to say goodbye here.

Shen Muhan turned around and walked far away towards the place where Ah Yun was buried, and whispered, "Ah Yun, goodbye." ”

I also glanced in the direction of the cabin, although I couldn't see them anymore, but I knew that they were all there, so I could only silently say to them in my heart: "Goodbye, Eight Banners Guard." ”
