21, empty village
At a quarter past seven in the evening we set off and headed west.
The group was extremely familiar with the terrain, and it was the second time I had set foot on the trail since I woke up from the mass grave.
The first time was in the early morning of July 15, when I fled all the way back with my grandmother on my back, in the dead of night, and did not observe much of the surrounding situation, but this time, I found that there were many things wrong.
Although the mountain road is rugged for more than ten miles, it is very smooth to walk all the way, and after getting off the mountain road, you will enter the first village, the village is not big, the houses are sparsely arranged, but none of them are lit up.
It's only eight o'clock, so you can't all sleep so early, right?
Even if everyone sleeps, do dogs sleep so deeply? Our group walked through the village with a loud roar, without even barking a dog.
When I passed through a bamboo forest and reached the second village, my heart suddenly lifted, and I remembered that after crossing this village, I reached the vicinity of the mass grave.
In the same way, the village was terriblely quiet, without any light, cold as a tomb.
"After walking for so long, how do you feel that you don't have any popularity at all?" I muttered something in my own voice.
Qian San, who had been walking next to me, was surprised: "Why would Miss Meng ask that?" Zhaojia Village and Liujia Village were already empty villages a few days ago, and no one in the entire Lin'an Town did not know about it. ”
"Empty Village?" I felt a chill in my heart and asked, "What about people?" ”
Qian San's feet paused, looking at me with strange eyes, I quickly explained: "Don't be surprised, I really don't know about this, after my grandmother and I were arrested, I have been locked up, and someone brought me food before, so I always thought that there were still people in the village." ”
"So that's the case, they want your grandmother, and they are holding you up to contain your grandmother." Qian San believed my words and said, "As soon as the matter of the ancient tomb gold mine came out, Zhaojia Village and Liujia Village were the closest, and the big guys swarmed into the ancient tomb, and everyone wanted to make a fortune, but they didn't expect that everyone who went in was dyed with golden silk Gu, and after they came out, it spread in a large area, and after a while, people were gone." ”
"How long is a little time?" I kept asking, and I always felt that this was strange.
Qian San shook his head: "No one can say how long it will be, the approximate time is about one day and one night, there are two villages, and there is no scum left." ”
No, what Qian San said is full of loopholes.
The spread of the Golden Silk Gu is not so fast, after being infected, it also takes a certain process to attack, and it is difficult to spread not only to the two villages, but even the poultry in one day and one night?
Impossible, there must be a secret in this.
I don't know why, but I suddenly thought of the pit in the mass grave, who were those people who were buried alive? Who was the one who set fire to the corpse in the middle of the night?
Also, the thing in the cloak, it must have a lot to do with it.
I couldn't help but look around, in this darkness, there must be some hidden people, some organization, they are dormant in the darkness, maybe they are staring at us for a moment at this moment.
I followed everyone forward with a heavy heart, and I didn't know when I arrived at the foot of the mountain in the west, until Qian San called me, and I didn't come back to my senses.
"Here we are." Qian San said, "Miss Meng's spirit doesn't seem to be very good, right...... Scared? You're quite young, after all. ”
I didn't expect Qian San to say these words at this time, from his tone, I could hear a trace of pity, it seems that this person is not bad.
I shook my head: "I'm not afraid, I'm just thinking about something." ”
"This time I entered, it is very likely that everyone will be involuntarily, and when the time comes, there will be a mess, and no one will be able to take care of anyone, Miss Meng should be cautious." Qian San reminded him, and then walked towards Liang Tou.
Liangtou and they have already stepped on a good point, where to enter the ancient tomb, how to avoid the mechanism, and which direction the gold mine is, they have already figured it out.
They brought me here not so that I could take them into the tomb to find gold mines, but to prevent some uncontrollable forces from happening in the tomb, such as cheating corpses and the like, which I need to do when the time comes.
In addition, the gold mine is under the ancient tomb, so the mechanism to protect the gold mine may be related to the ancient tomb, and at such a critical moment, I must take action.
And when my grandmother had an accident, it should have come to this point.
"What are you doing standing there stupidly? Go to the grave! "When everything was ready, Liang Tou whispered at me, and the people behind him had already pushed me forward.
The entrance to the tomb that they are optimistic about is a robbery hole, which should have been dug by the people who entered the ancient tomb in front, and it was dark and gloomy.
Just when I was close to the thief hole, the jade pendant given by Hu Dingtang in my pocket suddenly trembled, I quickly reached out and held it, for fear of being discovered by the beams, but when I looked down, I saw the jade pendant that was originally transparent, emitting a red light at this moment.
Although it was fleeting, I still caught it at once.
How could the jade pendant shake and glow red for no reason? Is this warning me of something?
Or is Hu Dingtang spying on me in this way?
