Chapter 37: The Leader's Plan
"It's good to make friends, and avoid women."
This seems to be a favorite word on the yellow calendar, my grandmother used to use a very old calendar, on which it was written what is good for today's good luck, auspicious god direction or something, I once saw it written "suitable for travel, marriage, open the market", or "avoid breaking the ground, make a bed" or something.
I don't know if this "dating" and "womanhood" are considered taboos, but, since Xue Li has made it clear, I think I'd better be careful, as for what "blood light disaster", I don't know if I've already avoided it, however, I don't dare to take it lightly, in this ghost place, who knows what will happen.
I picked up the note, but I found that there was still small print on the back of the note, and there were quite a few words.
"Ye Yu, I have already explained to the new women the terrible consequences of the customs in the village to men, so you have to be careful of every new woman."
I started to smile and nod my head at the reminder, but then I realized that there was a problem.
The terrible consequences of touching a woman were told to me by the group leader, and other people shouldn't know about it, how did Xue Li know?
Then I thought of a possibility, maybe Situ Xiaozhu told her.
Moreover, I think this is very likely.
She may be worried that I will touch other people because of saving people, which will eventually make her condition worse, if she tells Xue Li, then Xue Li can't ask me to touch her again, because once she asks, Xue Li is obviously suspected of harming others and benefiting herself, so that people who exchange other people's lives for their own lives cannot be trusted.
In other words, although Situ Xiaozhu is very helpless and frightened, her brain is definitely online all the time, and she is a scholar and not a stupid.
Again, I told myself not to forget that.
I put away the note, then walked out of the room, motioning for Mei to come with me.
Since I can't meet up with Situ Xiaozhu and Xue Li, I'm going to go and see the group leader first, he arranged for me to kill most of the eyes and ears in the village yesterday, I think he must have a back move, and I can only hope that his back move can be useful, so that we can leave this place as soon as possible.
I can't be sure what the identity of the group leader is, but he is definitely not "under the Yellow Springs" and is not the real mastermind behind the scenes, which should be basically certain, because he has been hiding in the courtyard and it is impossible to know the specific situation of the newcomer.
I asked Xiaomei to wait outside, and I found the group leader.
"You're right, there's some work to be done."
The group leader nodded and said.
"Regarding what you said about 'under the Yellow Spring', the old man also mentioned it to me, because I was also deceived by 'under the Yellow Spring', but your judgment is wrong, 'Under the Yellow Spring' is not going back and forth in the village all the time, he is not from the village."
That took me by surprise.
In other words, there is someone out there who is always helping, so who is this person? Why help? Could it be that this person is the real mastermind behind the scenes?
Of course, what surprised me the most was not this, but how was the message transmitted between this outsider and Biluo?
The photos on the wall on the second floor of the small building are obviously newly put up, and they correspond to us, I don't know about others, my photos I know very well, they were not taken after I came here, but the photos I had before, and they were taken two days before I came here, of course, that photo is not a secret, it is a photo that I sent to the circle of friends.
In other words, the village should always have a way to communicate with the outside world, but we don't know it.
And most of this method is in small buildings.
After getting this inference, I suddenly became a little enlightened.
Now it's easier again, if I can find this way to connect with the outside world, I can have a way to notify the people outside to come and save us, and maybe we can get out.
I don't believe that so many strange people outside can't handle such a small village.
The group leader didn't know what I was thinking, he continued.
"If you want to go out, it's not enough to get the eyes and ears of these villages, but also to get rid of the yin soldiers during the day, or the ghosts at night, get rid of one of them, and we can leave."
I don't need to say this, I know it, so I'm waiting for what he says.
Sure enough, he continued.
"Now that there are no eyes and ears in the village, we can do the second thing, and that is to destroy the barrier around this village, and it is these barriers that are working with the ghosts to intercept the people who are about to go out at night."
"Once you get close to the barrier, the barrier will react, and the ghost will take the opportunity to attack."
I believe what he said, because I also think that if I want to make sure that everyone is trapped, it is not enough to rely on those four-eared bats and three-eyed crows, not to mention that I have deceived those four-eared bats with "ghost lantern moths" before, and there must be stronger obstacles.
The group leader continued.
"This barrier is called the Hundred Ghost Barrier, and it's an enchantment made from the white bones of a hundred dead women, and next, our goal is to try to destroy one of them, and if we can open a gap, we have a chance to escape."
This plan sounds a bit solid.
However, if you think about it, there is a problem inside.
So, I thought about it and said.
"I don't read much, don't lie to me, if there really is any 'Hundred Ghost Enchantment', the purpose is to trap us, I will destroy it, don't I go to find death? Before I can destroy a part of the barrier, I'll be destroyed by the ghosts first. ”
If this barrier is really so easy to destroy, why should these people in the village be trapped for so long, isn't it nonsense?
As a result, the group leader smiled and said.
"Of course it's not that simple, I said before that the old man left me something as important, you remember, in fact, that kind of thing is for this purpose."
After saying that, he took out a pendant from his neck, a blood-red pendant, not very big, but very bright and beautiful.
He said, pointing to the pendant.
"This and you, these two are the key."
"This thing is called 'Blood Jade', which allows you not to be discovered by the enchantment when you approach the enchantment, of course, it is impossible to cross the enchantment, and according to the old man, you are an outsider and have not been marked by the village, so at least the movement is free, and the people in the village, all the actions are basically under supervision, and there is this opportunity at all."
I nodded, as if it made sense logically.
Now the question is.
"How can I break the link of the barrier? I don't know anything about yin and yang, and I can't cast spells or anything. ”
As a result, the group leader smiled and said.
"This is very simple, because it is the bones of women who establish the enchantment, and it is also the bones of pure yin women, so you just need to pee on it, the eyes of these formations are around the village, and there is a neem tree on each array, and there will be a swastika pattern on it, by the way, you are still a virgin, right?"
I nodded again.
The group leader smiled and said.
"Then keep it, or we'll be in big trouble, the old man said, basically all the men who come here will lose their virginity on the first day, so he has never found a suitable candidate."
I didn't expect it to be so important to keep a virgin, and then, I remembered whether Xue Li's "jealous womanhood" would also hint at this, and Qianxue had also mentioned this before.
Then, the group leader looked at me and admonished.
"Be careful when you act, the wind is too tight, and once we startle the snake, we won't have a second chance."
I nodded, something so big had just happened in the village, I think the village will definitely enter a state of first-level alert, and I really need to be careful with my actions.
"Also, don't tell anyone about my existence, otherwise things will definitely not work out."
I had no choice but to nod my head again.
After that, I left the room.
However, as soon as I walked out of the door, I suddenly remembered one thing, I haven't told the group owner about my new foothold, mobile phones can't be used in this ghost place, and it's a huge problem to contact each other, for example, I want to find Situ Xiaozhu now, I have only one way, running around the village to find people, and then you will find that the mobile phone has really changed your life.
I quickly pushed the door back again, only to see a strange scene, I saw the group leader lying upright on the ground as if he was dead.
"Hey, leader...... Group leader ......"
I whispered twice, and then the group leader suddenly opened his eyes and sat up and said.
"I'm so tired that I'm asleep."
I muttered incomprehensibly, you're tired of a fart, you've been hiding in the house all day, is it too much?
Then I told him about my new foothold, and he smiled a little awkwardly, and I left the courtyard with the blood jade.
However, I always felt that something was wrong, but I couldn't tell what was wrong.
Anyway, I think the group leader is weird.
After leaving the group leader, I didn't know where to go for a while, so, after thinking about it, I decided to listen to Xiaomei's words and go to her place first.
As a result, on the way to the courtyard she said, we met another group of people who had been preparing to leave the village.
This group of people was obviously a little depressed, probably similar to when we first started, and they were frustrated when they fled the village, and the price paid should not be small, because I only saw eight of them when it was supposed to be a team of ten people.
At this moment, one of them suddenly looked at me with a look of surprise and said.
"Huh! You are...... You are...... It's light rain, right? ”
This person actually knows my name, does he know me, I was also surprised when I heard his words, and I suddenly remembered Xue Li's words "It is better to make friends, and avoid women".
