Chapter Fifty-Six: Upheaval in the Old Village
Chapter 56: The Old Village Changed Upheaval
Darkness can hide a lot of things, but it can't hide Hu Laohan's muddy and vicissitudes of life. Some people are afraid of ghosts when they walk at night, in fact, people who are afraid of ghosts have ghosts in their hearts, think about it carefully, it's really ridiculous, but I can't laugh after listening to Hu Laohan's story, Lao Liu sighed, and said that he was also a hard-working person, and then none of us spoke, burying his head in the direction pointed by Hu Laohan.
I don't know how long we walked, but the strange trees around us were gone, and we didn't hear or see anything along the way, but I knew that it wasn't because we were lucky, but because there was an old ghost behind us guarding us.
After walking for a while, a winding path gradually appeared in front of me, spiraling upward, and I knew that I could return to Houbaoshan by following this path. When I stepped on the winding mountain path, I couldn't help but look back at the old forest in the deepest part of the valley, it seemed that I could still vaguely see the figure of the lame old man sitting under the old tree, and the wind was faintly mixed with the sound of women singing......
When we returned to Houbaoshan, it was already eight or nine o'clock in the morning, and the inn of the previous night had become a piece of ashes, and there was still a lot of green smoke.
However, I didn't go far before I found a team of about seven or eight people, led by none other than the two sisters of the Zhang family.
"Yo, silly boy, Liu Yijue, are you all right, we were still a step late last night, and we thought you were ......" Zhang Yue was surprised.
"How so." I shook my head with a wry smile and quipped, "It's not too late, it's not too late, the hot pot is still please, count it on my head." ”
"That's what you said." Zhang Yier smiled slyly.
"Well, as I said, you didn't have that knife on my neck." After that, I turned my eyes to the dark hotel and asked them, "What's going on?" ”
It turned out that last night they took a few masters of the Zhang family to Peishi Village, on the way they heard the movement, a look at us, but also by a group of ground rats chased and killed, quickly followed, finally caught up, just wanted to help us out of the siege, I and Lao Liu was at that time from the cliff slipped down, the group of ground rats were chased by them and fled back to the hotel, Zhang Yi or two was troublesome, directly surrounded the hotel, set a fire to the hotel with the group of ground rats burned to ashes.
Afterwards, they sent people to look for me under the cliff, and after looking for me for most of the night, they saw no one alive or dead, and they thought that I had been bitten by wolves.
I looked at the hotel, which was already a pile of ashes, and then at the Zhang sisters, only to feel a chill down my spine. Immediately, I suddenly thought of something, and asked them again, "What are you doing in Peishi Village?" ”
Zhang Yue's clothes looked like she was about to speak and stopped, I saw that she was a little embarrassed, so I quickly snorted: "I'll just ask casually, it's really inconvenient, just forget it." ”
Zhang Yue looked into my eyes, as if she wanted to see me through, and after a while, she sighed: "Forget it, tell you, you can remember, you owe me a favor." ”
I nodded violently and looked at her solemnly, but Zhang Yier on the side laughed out loud: "I said that you are really a stupid boy, you are so easy to deceive, you won't ask me, how big is it, it looks like a state secret." ”
I realized that I had been tricked, looking at Zhang Yue's eyes full of helplessness, she scratched her head, and said a little embarrassed: "The family received news that Peishi Village has not been very peaceful recently, and there is a place where there is a fog a few days ago, let's go to find out." ”
"What is Fog Cover?" I looked puzzled.
"Are you really stupid or fake, you have been following characters like the ghost hand Lao Liu for so long, and you don't even know Wuyin." Zhang Yier is angry and funny.
I scratched my head embarrassedly, and after Lao Liu's explanation, I knew that this fog is a very strange phenomenon, it is a fog in the mountains that covers the mountains, and it will not disperse for a long time, and a village will appear in the dense fog, some people say that it is where the immortals live, and some people say that it is the passage to the underworld, and there are Yin soldiers guarding it, and the living cannot enter at all. As for what exactly was in the fog, no one could tell.
I was thinking about it, and Zhang Yier's unintentional sentence disrupted all my train of thought - the guy who heard it say that there was a strange cry similar to a rhinoceros in the fog, which was terrifying!
Rhinoceros calls! The scene in the tomb of King Dian under the Toad Pond in Yunnan involuntarily came to my mind, what is "it"? Will the Ghost Hand come back? Chen Jinrong: Are they still alive? Where does the bottomless pit under the Fuso tree lead? What's the secret down there? Did Weng Liang take the ghost talisman? Where is Weng Liang?
……
I only felt that a big stone was pressed in my heart, and I was breathless, and I suddenly realized that since I entered Yunnan, I had entered a huge "fog hidden".
There was nothing to say all the way, we walked with the Zhang family, and I have been struggling in my mind, should I go to the fog to find out, and will the existence of the fog be related to the tomb of the Dian king? Have you ever thought of the ghost hand telling me when he entered the bottomless pit that I should get rid of these things as soon as possible, what should I do?
I didn't tell anyone around me about my worries and contradictions, because I knew that there were many things that I could only rely on myself, and others couldn't help you, because what you needed to face was your own conscience and psychology.
After walking for five hours on the rugged mountain road that could hardly be seen, near dusk, we finally saw Peishi Village not far away, and saw the familiar village, my heart gradually calmed down, and the problems in my mind were temporarily put aside, maybe the hometown was more timid, and I was about to return to my simple little mud house, and I suddenly felt a little nervous when I saw my father and mother who I hadn't seen for a long time.
As soon as I arrived at the entrance of the village, I found that something was wrong, usually there should be someone coming back from farming at this point, the farmer who came back with a bag of corn, the mother-in-law who carried a basket of vegetables and was ready to go home to cook, the old man and the old lady who took the child to the village entrance to wait for their father, at this time they should come and go at the entrance of the village, but today it is extremely abnormal, there is no one at the entrance of the village!
When I entered the village, my heart became even more worried, every house in the village was closed, there was no one in the alley, and the whole village was surprisingly quiet!
We were all puzzled, and immediately became vigilant, there must be a reason for things to go wrong, could it be that the people in the village collectively did something? But at least for as long as I can remember, there hasn't been such a situation.
At this moment, a dark-skinned middle-aged man hurried to the village, and I stopped him: "Brother Zhuzi, what are you doing in such a hurry?" What's going on in the village? ”
The man was a pillar who was a few years older than me, and he didn't notice me in the crowd at first, and he was really in a hurry, and he didn't ask about the situation when he saw such a large group of us entering the village. When I stopped me like this, he immediately recognized me, laughed twice, and said, "Shi Yanzi, it's you, when did you come back?" I'll invite you to my house for a drink another day! ”
Shi Lingzi is my milk name, everyone in the village calls it that, I agreed to him, and asked him what is going on in the village, Brother Zhuzi patted his head and called: "Look, look, I patronized and talked to you, I almost forgot about the business, yes, the village has not been peaceful these days, something is wrong!" Shi Yanzi, do you remember Uncle Lao Gen across the street from your house? He's dead! Death is always terrifying, he disappeared a few days before the curse, and I heard that someone just found his body in the Dragon King's Well in the east! ”
"Ahh Uncle Gen is dead! "I was a little surprised.
"Isn't it! I still haven't made it out of the well! That death is so weird!! ”
