Chapter 41: Follow the Dead
This Du Yuanchong should be a fourth-level ghost, and the other Du clan member is only a third-level ghost.
The speed of the fourth-level powerful ghost was far above Luo Fan's hundred combat power, so he chased directly to the foot of the mountain, and he didn't catch up with Du Yuanchong, so he could only watch him enter the village with his clansmen and Xiao Yuanqing.
"Great, Master......"
At the foot of the mountain, the old Taoist priest had woken up and was about to escape, but he was grabbed by Luo Fan and brought into the village.
The situation in the village is complicated, he may not be busy alone, although this wild Taoist priest is not good, but he still has a little knowledge, maybe useful.
The old Taoist priest wanted to cry without tears, but he couldn't break away from Luo Fan, so he could only cry with a sad face.
After entering the village, Luo Fan let go of him and sneered: "Now there are fourth-level ghosts in the village, the old village chief and Du Yuanqing are both living dead, if you are tired of life, you can run around casually." ”
The old Taoist priest was about to take a step, but he retracted it stiffly, and said with a dry smile: "Xiaodao doesn't dare!" ”
Luo Fan didn't care about him, and found that Zhang Jian and the others also entered the village to join him, as for Qin Qianwei, Uncle Qin said that the old ghosts in the mountain village did not dare to enter the village, and no one knew why.
"Isn't that Xiao Yuanqing dangerous?" Luo Fan had a good impression of Xiao Yuanqing and didn't want to see him destroyed.
"Don't worry, Uncle and Grandpa Qin said just now, with Xiao Yuanqing's strength, it's no problem to persist in the village all night." Zhang Jian explained.
"Xiaofan, what should I do now?" Qin Hongsheng's face turned pale, but his eyes were full of expectation when he looked at Luo Fan.
"Jianzi, you and Uncle Qin go to the entrance of the village to wait for me first." Luo Fan was a little worried, afraid that he would not be able to take care of the two of them in a hurry at that time.
"I'm not going!" Zhang Jian almost didn't shake his head off.
This mountain is too unclean, but he and Uncle Qin stay outside, it is better to follow Luo Fan safely.
Not to mention Zhang Jian, even Qin Hongsheng gave birth to a feeling that only by following Luo Fan was the safest.
Seeing that the two were resolutely unwilling to leave, Luo Fan was not reluctant, but just asked Qin Qianwei to take care of the two.
"Brother Fan, are there fewer oil lamps in this village?"
Du Yuanchong's three ghosts disappeared after entering the village, after all, the layout of the village is complicated, and there are too many places to hide, even Luo Fan can't lock them.
But according to his speculation, Du Yuanchong was the most likely to go to the old village chief.
The group was walking on the dirt road in the village, and Zhang Jian suddenly became a little nervous.
"That's right, there were at least forty lights that came in before, but now there seem to be four or five less!" Uncle Qin was very careful, and he even remembered the quantity.
"Uncle Qin, what's so particular about this oil lamp?" Luo Fan frowned, looking at the oil lamp, he always felt a chill down his spine.
"I don't know, although every household is like this, but it is actually a taboo in the mountain village, but the ancestor reminds that after seven o'clock in the evening, every household must light up and close the door."
Qin Hongsheng sighed, looking uncomfortable.
"It is said that once the lights are lit up after dark, it is easy for someone to go out and run into evil spirits. When I was a child, I didn't believe in evil with a group of friends, and I went out to play, but I didn't see anything, I just felt infiltrated, and I was found back by my family in less than half an hour. But it is said that in my father's generation, there was a child who also sneaked out, and then ran into an evil spirit, and disappeared in less than seven days. ”
"Hmph, this is a ghost lamp, a ghost to see, a lamp is lit, it means that there are living people in this house, and when the lights are out, it means that people are gone, this is a dead house, or an abandoned house." Although the old Taoist priest was scared before, but now when it comes to the customs of the mountain village, this guy is actually alive again, and he does have some understanding.
Luo Fan and Qin Hongsheng glanced at each other, and they both felt that there was something wrong with the origin of this old Taoist priest, perhaps, it was also premeditated to find the Qin family.
Qin Hongsheng will definitely not let go of the person who has evil thoughts about his son, and secretly decided to go back to investigate this old man.
"You see, the family's oil lamp is very new, it should have been used recently, but it went out." When he walked to a very dilapidated old earthen house, Zhang Jian pointed to the brand-new white paper oil lamp in front of the door.
"Uncle Qin, who lives in this house?" Luo Fan was separated by the wall, and in such a gloomy village, he couldn't feel whether there was any ghost in it.
Qin Hongsheng hadn't been in his hometown for more than ten years, and after thinking about it, he was not quite sure:
"When I was a child, I heard my grandfather say that this seems to be the same as our Qin family, a carpenter who moved in the forties, it is said that he is an orphan, his parents were gone during the Anti-Japanese War, he grew up eating Baijia rice and learned a craft. Later, somehow I settled in the backing village......"
In this village, Du Xing accounts for half of it, and the rest of the people with foreign surnames are immigrants who moved in different years.
"The lights are out, and the people are gone." The old Taoist priest has regained his unfathomable image of a master, and he is unpredictable.
Syllable!
Luo Fan was impatient, and slapped it over, making the old Taoist priest indignant, but he glanced at Luo Fan with a flickering eye, and immediately hesitated and deflated the ball, and stood aggrieved with his face covered.
Crunch!
The rotten wooden door suddenly opened, revealing an old man dressed in shabby blue clothes.
The old man should have cataracts, lowered his head slightly, and looked at Luo Fan and them with misty eyes.
"Uncle Xiao, I'm Qin Hongsheng, are you okay?" Qin Hongsheng looked at Uncle Xiao nervously, if what the old Taoist priest said was true, wouldn't Uncle Xiao be dead?
"Uncle, we are here for Qin Hao, do you know what happened when Qin Hao came back before?"
Luo Fan's eyes moved, and he stepped forward excitedly, grabbed Uncle Xiao's arm, and asked eagerly.
That look is an impulsive young man who is anxious to worry about his friends, Qin Hongsheng and Zhang Jian who watched it were a little confused, and they didn't understand why Luo Fan was suddenly so excited.
"Don't die." Seeing this, the old Taoist priest quietly retreated behind Qin Hongsheng and the others with a stiff face.
"Follow me." Uncle Xiao pushed Luo Fan away, passed Zhang Jian and the others, and walked towards the depths of the village.
"What's going on?" Following behind, Zhang Jian leaned beside Luo Fan and asked in a low voice.
"No body temperature." Luo Fan's words frightened Zhang Jian's face pale and his legs trembled.
"You mean, we're following a dead man right now?"
Zhang Jian felt so crazy that he was so excited that he was about to faint.
Luo Fan calmly followed behind, wanting to see what kind of medicine was sold in the old man's gourd.
After walking dozens of meters, Uncle Xiao stopped in front of a two-story brick house.
There is also a stop extinguished oil lamp in front of this house.
Zhang Jian's heart thumped, and he involuntarily leaned against Luo Fan's side, looking at Uncle Xiao nervously.
Uncle Xiao stepped forward and knocked lightly on the door three times, and after half a minute, he knocked three more times, and after another half a minute, the security door opened, and an old couple came out.
This old man is very old, at least eighty or ninety years old, with gray steamed buns, but his hair and clothes are meticulous, and at first glance he is a family with very good family conditions and upbringing.
Luo Fan's eyes stared, and this time he didn't need to touch it, he was sure that these two old couples were dead.
There are already a few corpse spots on their cheeks!
