Chapter 16: The Snake's Nest
Li Chenfeng scratched his head, "Yo, you still have a bit of humanity, and you still have a living mouth for others." β
Lu Youwei smiled embarrassedly, "Liu Daye is a good person, and he burned paper money for me when I was buried in the ancient tomb before, so I let him go." β
"It's useless to say this, I really don't want to go to that place in Sanhe Village."
At this time, Zhou Ming also walked over, "Sanhe Village is different now, it is said that some time ago, a real estate boss contracted that place, and now the foundation has been laid to build a new building, many workers are now living there, and the place is not as lifeless as before." β
Li Chenfeng sighed, "No one dares to do things for money these days, and even the work in the ghost village is someone who dares to take it, forget it, what am I afraid of as an exorcist." β
Saying that, he walked in front of the mouse, "Okay, I'll help you, but you're already over the first seven, so you should go." β
The mouse nodded, "Well, I know, I'll go." β
"Wait, I'll help you again."
Li Chenfeng took out the urn of the old heavenly master, "This is my master's urn, I will use this thing to put you in later, and my master's old man's spirit in the sky will naturally surpass you." β
"Okay, thank you, big brother, my father's business ......"
"Don't worry, the things I promised will naturally help you do it, you can reincarnate with peace of mind."
At this time, the mouse knelt down again and kowtowed three times, and finally entered Li Chenfeng's box.
Zhou Ming looked at the dishes and chopsticks on the table. "How's it going, how long will it take?"
"Without further ado, we'll leave tomorrow. Vile. β
"What's wrong, master?"
"Book a ticket for me in the evening later, forget it, book two, Sanhe Village is your hometown, you will accompany me tomorrow."
"Yes, master."
Zhou Ming smiled slightly and said, "Yo, I can't do without it for the past few days." β
"What do you say, if something really happens, Wei'er is better than me, how can I say that he is also a thousand-year-old corpse."
"Okay, it seems that the convenience store will be closed from tomorrow, you go early and return early, otherwise you won't get much salary this month."
"Senior brother, you can't be so unkind, I don't know how much it will cost me to go to Yunnan this time, you still deduct my salary, I won't be able to eat next month, and the clothes that the gold worshippers bought with Huabei last month haven't been paid back yet."
Speaking of this, Lu Youwei stuck out her tongue cutely. Zhou Ming lit a cigarette.
"Just kidding, so what are you really doing, just when I give you a long vacation, how about I sponsor you another 3,000 yuan?"
Li Chenfeng blinked in disbelief, "Senior brother, why did you suddenly find out about your conscience." β
"Your senior brother's conscience has never been a problem, that migrant worker brother is really pitiful, and I should also do my part. Besides, I'm going to sponsor your ghost hunting. β
"Okay, you go back first, Wei'er and I will prepare, and we will leave early tomorrow morning, it will take a day or two on this road, I hope the old man can hold on until then."
In the early morning of the next day, Li Chenfeng and Lu Youwei set out on the road to Yunnan again, and they arrived at Sanhe Village a day and two nights later.
Now that Mikawamura Station has been reopened, the small dirt road that used to enter the village has been pushed away by bulldozers, allowing cars to drive in.
Li Chenfeng and Lu Youwei walked along the main road, and came to the hillside where he had been, Sanhe Village had been razed to the ground, and the once terrifying ancient mansions no longer existed, and several bulldozers were still busy inside.
According to the mouse's instructions, Li Chenfeng found an old tiled house halfway up the mountain.
"I guess this is it."
"There is construction under the mountain, this place is still quite quiet, we can't just knock on the door like this, first, it may scare the elderly, and secondly, it is easy to startle the snake."
Lu Youwei fiddled with her bangs, "Then what should we do?"
"We brought a lot of food with us, let's find a place to see the situation first, and then we can solve the long worm essence without disturbing the life of the elderly."
"Okay, there's a clearing on the hillside behind this house, I'll go over and rest for a while, and see that the environment here is pretty good, so let's go out camping."
Sanhe Village is located in a mountain col, surrounded by green forests, the environment is very good, it is said that the real estate owner took a fancy to this feature of Sanhe Village, and planned to develop it into a villa area.
Lu Youwei leaned next to Li Chenfeng and sat down, staring at the construction team in the col in a daze, with a very strange emotion in her eyes.
Li Chenfeng seemed to see something, and said in a low voice: "Why, you regret killing so many people in Sanhe Village?" β
Lu Youwei didn't speak, she pouted and nodded, her eyes a little red.
Li Chenfeng didn't know what to say, but gently touched her head.
"Master, as long as you are an exorcist in the future, Wei'er will always follow you, forever."
Lu Youwei was subdued by the Heavenly Master after killing others, and then promised to follow the Heavenly Master forever to atone for her sins. At the beginning, she was by Li Chenfeng's side for this reason, but now it seems that some subtle changes have taken place, something that only she and Li Chenfeng can understand.
"It's going to get dark soon, won't it be cold to stay here all the time?"
"I'm just like you now, I'm not afraid of heat or cold."
Since inheriting the Heavenly Master Jin Dan, Li Chenfeng had to sleep with Lu Youwei in his arms every night to resist the scorching heat of the Jin Dan, in other words, this was the real reason why he had to follow Lu Youwei to Yunnan.
The two sat on the hillside in a daze, chatting awkwardly from time to time, and before they knew it, night had completely fallen.
Li Chenfeng leaned on Lu Youwei and fell asleep, and was suddenly shaken by Lu Youwei.
"Master, look."
"At night, the tiled houses on the mountainside are lit up, and the smoke is curling from the chimneys, which should have been a very warm picture, but the faint green air lingers on the houses, and it looks very strange."
Li Chenfeng took out the "Thirty-six Methods of Tianyan" from his bag, looked at it carefully with a flashlight, and his brows gradually furrowed.
"Red gas is evil, blue gas is spiritual, black gas is ghost, and green gas is demon. Sure enough, there are monsters doing it. β
"Shall we do it now?"
"Let's go down and have a look."
They were packing up their things and were about to go down, when suddenly a figure came from behind them.
"Yo, there's a guy and a girl digging into the woods."
Li Chenfeng was startled, and when he turned around, he saw that there were three middle-aged men wearing orange hard hats, who seemed to be workers in the construction team under the mountain.
"Big brother, you misunderstood, we are here to visit relatives. Have you ever seen a drill in a grove with a big bag of stuff on your back? β
The middle-aged man at the head smiled: "Oh, I'm sorry, the brothers just drank some wine and talked nonsense with their mouths open." Do your relatives live here, there is no one living in Trois-RiviΓ¨res now. β
"No one? Isn't there that either? β
Li Chenfeng pointed to the tiled house on the mountainside, only to see that the lights inside had been extinguished.
The middle-aged man shook his head, "You must have made a mistake, my family is in the next village, Sanhe Village has not been inhabited for more than ten years, the house is empty, if it weren't for the hillside, it would have been demolished along with the house below." β
"But I just saw that you still had the lights on?"
"Don't talk nonsense, young man, I'm cowardly, don't scare people. Our construction team has been living here for a few months, when did you see the lights on inside? You must have seen it wrong, it's a big night, and the mountain is not safe, or you will go with us to the shed below the mountain for the night, and tomorrow I will find a way to help you inquire about your relatives. β
"But ......"
Lu Youwei always felt that something was wrong, Li Chenfeng pondered for a moment and nodded towards him.
"Okay, then thank you big brother, big brother's surname?"
"My surname is Liu, and this is my co-workers Lao Zhang and Lao Deng."
"Okay, listen to Brother Liu, I'll disturb you tonight."
"It's okay, let's go."
The construction site was filled with wires and lights, and many workers were walking around in it, making it very lively.
"Little brother, does your relative really live in Sanhe Village? I think you're probably mistaken. β
Li Chenfeng felt a strange aura in the construction site, and his eyes kept looking around.
"Maybe, we haven't seen each other for many years, and I don't have contact information, I'll take a look at the surrounding villages tomorrow."
"Okay, I'll help you vacate the little shed next to it, and you and this girl will spend the night."
"Thank you, Brother Liu."
At this moment, a shout suddenly came from the middle of the construction site.
"Lao Liu, come and take a look!"
Hearing this voice, they were very anxious, and Li Chenfeng and Lu Youwei also followed.
An excavator was parked in the middle of the site, and there appeared to be a large pit in front of it, surrounded by dozens of workers.
Lao Deng, one of the three workers just now, waved to Lao Liu anxiously.
"Lao Liu, come and see, the brothers were working at night just now, but they dug up such a pile of things."
Li Chenfeng followed Lao Liu over to take a look, and saw that there were hundreds of small snakes in the big pit, they were writhing like a bunch of worms, and they looked very scary.
Lu Youwei screamed in fright and grabbed Li Chenfeng's arm.
"You're ......"
"Master, Vile has been afraid of snakes since she was a child......"
Lao Liu frowned, "This is a snake nest, and I don't know if they are poisonous, if they crawl out, it will be troublesome." β
"Lao Liu, this looks weird and scary, what do you say?"
Lao Liu thought for a while, "Fill in the soil, our well water will not interfere with the river water." β
"That's okay, Xiao Li, let's do it quickly."
A young man got on the excavator and began to fill in the earth, after which they carefully checked the surroundings to make sure that no snakes had escaped, and if they were really poisonous, they would be very troublesome to bite people.
A worker sighed: "This is really evil, how can those snakes live underground, like a pile of tree roots." β
"Maybe there's a snake cave leading to somewhere, but this number is really rare."
"Don't talk about it, no one knows how many of these things are underground, how will we build them in the future."
