Chapter 374: Resigned to fate

I don't know if I'm really scared, so I really want to get rid of the ghost as soon as possible?

Or Zhuang Siyan's words moved their hearts?

Someone put down the farm tool in his hand and looked uncertainly at the man who looked like a girl and spoke like a man.

At last an old lady took two steps forward, and her face full of ravines was full of traces left by the years, like the bark of a tree, dry and wrinkled, and black, and it was obvious at a glance that she had worked in the mountains all year round.

Zhuang Siyan nodded to her kindly and said, "Grandma, do you have something to say to me?" ”

The old lady looked at her, then at her, and then said, "I just want you to leave quickly, Xinglan Cave is because of you outsiders, the ghosts that were recruited." ”

Zhuang Siyan: "......"

This old lady didn't play her cards according to common sense, and she almost couldn't catch it for a while.

After a pause, he re-emphasized: "We are different from them......"

"That's what every one of you says, and the result is the same, the evil spirit has come, and it is our own fault, and he has taken enough of what he should take, and he will naturally leave. Go too, don't come back to Xinglan Cave, there is nothing you want here. ”

After saying so much information, it was for Zhuang Siyan to go?

How could she go?

Not only did he not leave, but he immediately grabbed the question inside and asked her: "Oh, do you know what they want to take?" ”

This sentence stabbed the hornet's nest, and the person who put the farm tools down just now picked up the iron and the stick, and there was really nothing to take, so he picked up a stone directly from the ground and held it in his hand.

Looking at it like that, Zhuang Siyan dared to ask again, and they would rush up and beat her into a meat screen.

Zhuang Siyan was also quite speechless to them, you said they were bold, they were so frightened last night that they didn't even dare to open the door, and they didn't even dare to respond.

But you want to say that they are cowardly, I didn't see anything at this time, and I picked up the weapon in my hand at every turn, and wanted to beat her as a good boy with good literary qualities.

In fact, it is still the fear of the unknown.

Those ghosts, they haven't seen them, and they do bad things when they can't see them, or they make tricks and scare people.

They can't see or touch, but they always bring them losses, so they are afraid.

But Zhuang Siyan is different, no matter what she says, people are still standing in front of them.

For the tangible creatures, these people had the courage to speak to her like this.

She also didn't want to promote feudal superstition and let them condone the evil ghost, so she said directly: "Although you don't say it, you know in your hearts that he won't leave if he doesn't get enough of what he wants."

As for what he wants, it may be that he wants you all to do what he wants, or it may be that he wants you all to move out of here.

Otherwise, he will come to scare you every day and make you sad to live in peace again. ”

Someone began to get uneasy and stood up from the crowd with sticks: "Where are you, are you the devil's minions, we will beat you to death first." ”

Zhuang Siyan looked at him coldly.

The look was very sharp, and it crossed the crowd and penetrated the man, and he trembled obviously, and the stick in his hand was a little lower.

When Zhuang Siyan spoke again, his voice sank a little, and he said with a sense of oppression: "If I am really the minions of that evil ghost, do we dare to touch me?" ”

With a "bang", the people who had already gathered in front of her took two steps back at the same time.

Even the old lady who came over before was crooked, as if she was about to fall, and was grabbed back by Zhuang Siyan.

Of course, she didn't continue to scare them, and quickly put away the fierceness in her eyes and continued to preach.

After a long period of bitter talk, even the saliva was polished, and those people finally relaxed their vigilance a little, and began to tell her about the Landong.

Xinglan Cave is backed by a big mountain, there is a river in front of it, and there are relatively large towns on the east and west sides, so they use the old saying here, it is a treasure of feng shui.

I used to be very poor, but in this generation I quickly became rich.

Of course, it is also related to the love of labor of the people here, and almost every household is a hard worker.

It's just that in any era, everywhere there will be rich and poor.

They also have it here, for example, Lu Yuanwai in the east of the village, his brain is more active, and he soon saw the advantages of this place, began to hire long-term workers, opened up large areas of wasteland, planted a lot of things, and then got better and better year by year.

As his life improved, some people in the village rushed to follow suit, and it was just what Zhuang Siyan saw when he came.

In fact, the entire village is still relatively wealthy.

But if you open the door and come into contact with the outside, people will naturally come to the village.

Especially in Lu Yuanwai's house, there are often some people who they have never seen here, and those people sometimes live in his house for a long time, and they will look east and west with him.

The villagers didn't think anything at first, they were simple-minded, they didn't think so much at all, at most they thought that the guests of Lu Yuanwai's house were quite strange, and they stopped their children from approaching.

But then things got a little weird.

Lu Yuanwai began to collect the land in the village, that is, the land that others had worked hard to open, and then received it in his own hands, and then hired someone to plant it for him.

As a result, the people in the village had no choice but to work for him as long laborers, but the treatment of long-term workers was far less suitable than that of their own farming.

So some people couldn't stand it and wanted to stand up and resist.

Lu Yuanwai finally managed to form this matter into a scale, of course, to suppress it.

There were a large number of people in his yard, and those people usually did nothing, just ate and drink, and then watched the long-term workers work.

Now it can come in handy, as soon as someone stands up and resists, Lu Yuanwai will let those people out, and if he is not honest, he will be honest, and if he is not honest, then he will be beaten twice.

As a result, some people began to want to give him the land, but Lu Yuanwai had already tasted the sweetness from it, and it was mandatory to ask for it at this time.

If you give it well, you can still give you a little bit of three melons and two dates, if you don't give it, then he will take someone to rob it, and rob the family's land and life, and if there is nothing, you have to beat it.

The old lady burst into tears: "There are fewer people in the village, and they don't move out now, many of them have left a long time ago, and some have been beaten to death by Lu Yuan." ”

Zhuang Siyan asked, "What about Lu Yuanwai?" ”

The crowd shook their heads.

Zhuang Siyan was stunned for a moment, and looked at them a little confused.

Someone took over the old lady and stood up and said: "Two months ago, Lu Yuanwai married an aunt, I heard that she came from outside, anyway, no one in our village has seen it.

After the girl got married, she rarely showed up, but many people heard the screams outside the courtyard wall outside the Lu Yuanwai.

Then the voice disappeared, and not long after this incident, the village began to be haunted, and the first thing was to go to Lu Yuanwai's house.

I heard that when he woke up one morning, his youngest son was lying upright at the door of the inner courtyard, with holes all over his body, and two wild cats crawling beside him licking the bloody ....... ”

Zhuang Siyan hurriedly interrupted him: "What about the back?" ”

I said in my heart, can you stop describing such a disgusting picture, and just say that his youngest son is dead? Ah, these simple villagers!

A strange light obviously flashed in the man's eyes, and he said quickly: "Lu Yuanwai released all the family members to look for the murderer, but in the end nothing was found.

In a fit of rage, he said that it was done by two families in the west of the village.

We all know that it's not the two families, they just won't give their land to the Lu Yuan.

But Lu Yuanwai did not let them go, took people to their homes, and beat them to death, not even the children. ”

The light in the man's eyes was like a meteor, and it flashed and extinguished the fire at once, and the words came to an abrupt end.

Zhuang Siyan looked at him and asked, "What about later?" Is there any further development? ”

This time, the whole people are bitter, and your head is down.

Of course there is progress, but it is worse than it used to be.

Originally, the villagers thought disgustingly that they must have done too many bad things outside the land and recruited ghosts, so they got this retribution.

But soon, they found out that these things couldn't hit Lu Yuanwai at all.

As soon as the demon came out to act, he would intensify the cruelty of the remaining villagers.

The evil spirit killed one of his little wives, and he gathered all the girls in the village together, or simply went to the door and robbed people.

Up to twelve or thirteen-year-old children, down to married women with children, not one of them will be spared in the long week.

Zhuang Siyan was shocked, uncle, there is still such a person?

At the beginning, when she said that when his son died, Zhuang Siyan still thought that it would cause trouble to her family or something, and at this time she wanted to go up and twist Lu Yuanwai's head off.

But if you go on according to this statement, then Lu Yuanwai should be the village tyrant of Xinglan Cave now, why is there no one at home?

The person in the house is obviously not Lu Yuanwai, this Zhuang Siyan can be sure, so where did Lu Yuanwai go?

It can't be that the demon actually kills him, and then the demon takes his place, right?

She went to ask the villagers, but none of them knew.

Because there are evil ghosts at night, and there are land soldiers outside the day to rob and rob, they have tossed the people in the village to despair.

As Rayong said earlier, everyone who has a little way has moved out, and now the rest of the village are the old, weak, sick and disabled.

Those who have no ability to resist can only close the door and cause less trouble.

If it weren't for the crops in the field, they wouldn't even go out of the door all day long, they just wanted to close the door to death, and the family honestly hid inside, and they could live one day at a time.

When I go out, I am also a large group of people, and it is rare to see anyone who comes out alone.

As for Lu Yuan, they haven't seen it for some days, and of course they don't want to see it.

Everything has entered the stage of resignation, fate is arranged at will, they just want to take back the things they have worked hard to plant in the field in peace, and then spend the rest of their days like rats.

When they had said this, they lowered their heads and looked at their toes, or at the soil under their feet.

There is no hope for life, so that their eyes are cloudy, and they don't even have the heart to kill her before.

The courage that was finally summoned was all exhausted after recounting the affairs outside the Lu Yuan.
