Chapter 267: True and False Ghost Village
Today is still cloudy and cloudy, and the grass and trees and mountains are shrouded in a white mist.
Although Yugu Village is the closest village to the old ghost village, it is actually quite a long distance. Otherwise, they wouldn't have behaved so calmly after the ghost village reappeared.
There is no road to the old ghost village, since it was burned down, everyone stayed away, and the road between the two villages has long been deserted.
We walked among the woods, following the route described by Dong Gaoye.
"What's that?" Tu said with a point in one direction.
We looked down where he had pointed out, and there seemed to be something standing in the bushes.
The group walked to the edge of the bushes, and when they opened the branches and leaves, they saw a piece of wooden stake, or an extremely thick wooden sign. I don't know how long this wooden sign has been nailed here, it has been eroded by wind and rain, and it is rotten. It can be broken with just a simple push. What kind of pattern is engraved on the wooden plaque, because the surface is covered with messy fungi, it is difficult to see.
Chaolin took out the knife and scraped off the fungus on the surface of the wooden card, and the pattern was revealed, which were some strange runes.
"This is not a rune from the Lingnan area." Gu Qihan said.
The crowd looked at him.
Qiu Yitong said: "Brother Qi Han, where is this rune and what is it for?" ”
"This is a kind of magic talisman in the north, I don't know what it does, but I can only tell that it is a kind of seal," he said, reaching for the wooden sign, and then said, "This seal is almost gone." ”
How could there be a seal under the Northern Talisman? What is it going to seal?
We looked around, and there was nothing else next to it. He ignored it and moved on.
I glanced back at the wooden sign, and the doubts in my heart intensified. I always felt that something was wrong.
After walking for a long time, black round grains appeared on the ground, and the grass and trees became sparse, and the low grass and trees were full of traces of being eaten.
"Are there a lot of hares in this place?" Xiao Qingwan pondered.
I looked at her puzzled: "Why do you say that?" ”
She pointed to the round grains on the ground and said, "There is so much rabbit droppings in this place. ”
I couldn't help but laugh: "This is not rabbit dung, this is sheep dung." ”
Xiao Qingwan was stunned: "But didn't Dong Gaoye say that sheep are not raised here?" ”
I also wondered a little that there were indeed no sheep keepers in the village. There is so much sheep feces in this place, and there are traces of sheep gnawing all around.
"It's so far away from Yugu Village, maybe it's people from other villages who raise sheep?" Qiu Yitong said with big watery eyes.
Xiao Qingwan looked suddenly enlightened: "Then the person who led us the way in the mountains is not a ghost, but a person from other villages." ”
Chaolin smiled: "Two eldest ladies, don't forget where we're going now." ”
Qiu Yitong and Xiao Qingwan's faces changed.
We are now going to the old ghost village, Yugu Village is already the closest village to the old ghost village, there are no other villages nearby, if you want to say that this sheep is from other villages, then it can only be the old ghost village.
It is not only the village and people that can be reproduced, but also the sheep that were once raised, and the mountains are gnawed like this.
The grass and trees are becoming scarcer, and the traces of being eaten by sheep are becoming more and more obvious. A faint barking of dogs was heard. The crowd became vigilant and slowed down.
Stilted buildings appear in front of you. The old ghost village has arrived!
Let's take care and move forward carefully. This old ghost village is really just like Dong Gaopage said, the chickens are crowing and the dogs are barking, and people come and go, which is no different from an ordinary village.
It's just that this village is too normal, with wires visible from every house, pedestrians wearing contemporary clothes from time to time, and even a forest of houses mixed with one or two stone houses!
"Who are you? What are you doing here? A tall, thin middle-aged man walked by.
We looked at him and didn't say anything for a moment.
The middle-aged man looked at us suspiciously for a while, and suddenly said, "Are you from the Southern Fa Society?" ”
How did he know about the Southern Puja!
The weird feeling is getting stronger.
Seeing that we didn't make a sound, the man slapped his thigh and said, "Sure enough, it's you, you can be counted as here, didn't you say you came two days ago?" How is it only now! ”
Xiao Qingwan looked at him: "You are ......"
"I'm Dong Gaoye!"
This person is Dong Gaoye! So who was that person we met before?
"This is Yugu Village?" Xiao Qingwan exclaimed.
"Yes, we're the only one here." The man said.
This is Yugu Village, what is the place where we went to that village before?
A bad feeling came to their hearts, and everyone looked at each other, and they had already guessed something in their hearts.
"The road outside is full of mud, I can't get over, I still want to go outside and wait for you to take you on the path, where did you come from?" Dong Gaoye asked.
We didn't answer, Gu Qihan pointed in the direction of the previous stockade and asked, "What is the place over there?" ”
Dong Gaoye looked at us suspiciously: "That's the old ghost village over there!" ”
The answer in their hearts was verified, and everyone's faces changed and they looked at each other. That's the old ghost village, and we didn't even notice it for one night!
Wait, those people are no longer there, so what about the food we ate last night and this morning?
Dong Gaoye sensed that our faces were wrong: "You guys...... I don't think I'm going to go up there. ”
"Go back!" Gu Qihan said immediately.
Everyone turned around and quickly ran back along the same path, all of them using their strength to feed.
The distance between the two stockades is not close, and it is really enough to choke people back and forth.
I finally ran back, only to see a barren area in front of me, full of grass and trees, how can there be any stockade!
It's really evil! There was obviously a stockade before, but why did I come back with nothing after a trip! We slept in this wasteland last night? What's the deal with the ghosts? Have even the ghosts reappeared?
Everyone scattered around, looked around, and could still see some charred charcoal under the barren grass, and faintly could see traces of a fire. But other than that, it's a downright ordinary wasteland.
It's really strange, after staying in the ghost village all night, we didn't even realize it! And the feeling of the village is very real, whether it is the house or the "Dong Gaopage" brothers, it doesn't look like a fake. What the hell is going on!
Dong Gaoye panted and caught up: "This village doesn't appear all the time, the rain will be heavier for a while, go up to me first." ”
The rain gradually became heavier, hitting the body, and it was cold and cold.
We looked at the wasteland suspiciously, and walked with Dong Gaoye in the direction of Yugu Village.
Passing by the place where the wooden sign was before, the wooden sign was still there, and it looked even more decayed in the wind and rain, as if it would break at any time.
