A Mercedes-Benz G-class stopped on an avenue, and a young man in a sportswear got out of the car and looked at a small mountain village in the distance.

"Captain, this is Ishimura Momomura."

Pang Fat Man yawned and said, "It's finally here, I'm almost asleep, fat man." ”

The four people who got out of the car were the four people of Mingdao, and there was no way to drive in Taocun if they wanted to enter Taocun, because the road to Taocun was a mountain village road, and the car couldn't drive in at all, so Mingdao simply parked the car on the side of the road, and then the four of them walked in the direction of Taocun.

Because when I set off here, it was getting late, and there were only a few afterglows of the sun on the horizon, Mingdao four people walked on the country road, and heard the chirping of some small animals from time to time on the side of the road, Mingdao saw a lot of gravel on the side of the road, I don't know what it was for, this village is called Peach Village, but Mingdao didn't see a peach tree along the way, but saw a lot of locust trees.

"Raptor, do you know why this peach village is called that? I didn't see any peach trees along the way. ”

The Raptors, however, were not surprised at all

"Boss, in fact, this peach village used to be planted with a large number of peach trees, but then they were all abandoned for unknown reasons, and the original peach groves have long disappeared."

I see, Ming Dao was still very puzzled when he first supported the name of the village, if there are many peach trees in Peach Village, then ordinary evil demons should not dare to approach this village, peach trees have been believed to have the effect of driving away evil spirits since ancient times, and there is also a small story.

In ancient Chinese mythology, it is said that there is a world of ghosts, in which there is a mountain, and there is a large peach tree covering 3,000 miles on the mountain, and there is a golden rooster on the treetop. Whenever the golden rooster crows in the morning, the ghosts that wander out at night will drive back to the ghost realm.

The gate of the ghost domain is located in the northeast of the peach tree, and there are two gods standing by the door, named Shen Tu and Yu Lei. If the ghost did something unreasonable during the night, Shen Tu and Yu Lei would immediately find out and catch it, tie it up with a rope made of mango reeds, and send it to feed the tiger.

Therefore, the ghosts of the world are afraid of the gods and gloom. So the people carved their appearance with peach wood and placed it at the door of their house to ward off evil and prevent harm. Later, people simply carved the names of Shen Tu and Yu Lei on the peach wood board, believing that this could also suppress evil and eliminate evil. This kind of peach plank was later called "peach charm".

Although this is a mythical story, the role of peach wood in driving away evil spirits is indeed true.

Soon Ming Dao and the others were about to arrive at the entrance of Tao Village, and at this time, Ming Dao suddenly looked at a big locust tree next to him, and there was a boulder under the big locust tree.

"Boss, what's wrong?"

The raptor looked at the big locust tree with Ming Dao's gaze suspiciously, and his face changed and he said: "Boss, according to the intelligence in our bureau, no less than ten people have died under this locust tree in the past few decades, and you said that there will be anything strange about the locust tree." ”

Ming Dao looked at the locust tree deeply, and indeed he felt a yin aura from under the locust tree, but it disappeared in a blink of an eye.

"It's okay, maybe I'm suspicious."

The locust tree is already yin, plus so many people have died under the tree, and it is normal for the yin qi to be focused, but more than ten people have died under this locust tree, which is indeed a little abnormal, and Ming Dao decided to wait until he comes back to investigate this locust tree.

Just when Ming Dao was about to walk towards the village, suddenly his hair stood on end, and Ming Dao's muscles tensed instantly, this felt as if someone was peeping at their group, Ming Dao definitely didn't feel wrong, someone must be peeping at them.

Ming Dao squinted his eyes and secretly looked around, but there was no other movement outside the foot-high grass that was blown by the wind.

"Could it be that I feel wrong?"

Mingdao feels that he has always been a little suspicious recently, and he is a little suspicious whenever there is a stir.

Pang Fatzi said with a gloomy face on the side: "It's not suspicious, I also felt it just now." ”

Ming Dao suddenly looked back at the locust tree, only to see a pale face flash and disappear in front of Ming Dao.

"Who?"

Ming Dao shouted, floated away, like lightning, directly from the back of the big locust tree, but found nothing.

"Huh?"

Ming Dao suddenly saw a small scratch on the locust tree, cutting the book, the scratch was still fresh, indicating that someone must have stayed here just now, but it disappeared in a blink of an eye.

There was a hint of a smile on the corner of Ming Dao's mouth.

"It's kind of interesting."

Ming Dao is sure of one thing now, there must be something strange here, and he can disappear under his nose.

At this time, the raptor and others ran over, and after looking around, Lori looked at Ming Dao and said, "Boss, did you find something?" ”

Ming Dao shook his head and said, "Not yet, let's go to the village first." ”

Ming Dao took the lead and walked in the direction of the village, and when Ming Dao and the others walked towards the village, a miserable white face suddenly appeared on the original locust tree, and he looked thoughtfully in the direction of Ming Dao and muttered to himself

"I was almost discovered, it seems that this group of people is not simple, they should be from the National Protection Bureau, but even if the people from the National Protection Bureau come, it is useless."

The human face disappeared from the tree again, and Ming Dao and the others did not notice it.

Coming to the entrance of the village, the four of Ming Dao found that the village was unusually quiet, at this time it was dark, the moonlight shone on the earth, and every household in the village was lit up, but there was no sound in the village, and the silence was a little weird.

Ming Dao and the others passed by the first courtyard when they entered the village, and the gate of the courtyard was open, and through the door, Ming Dao and the others could clearly see the gold in the courtyard.

The dilapidated courtyard, with dead trees and branches, and fallen leaves scattered on the ground, seemed to have not been cleaned for a long time.

The courtyard was empty and deserted.

The Raptors wondered, "Why is this peach village so quiet." ”

Ming Dao saw through the courtyard that the lights in the room were flickering, and there were figures walking around the house, indicating that the courtyard was clearly inhabited, but why was it so dilapidated and no one cleaned it up.

Ming Dao gently stepped over the threshold and walked into the courtyard, looking at the very simple layout in the courtyard, a vegetable patch, but it seemed to have been abandoned, there was a well in the yard, and a rocking chair.

The rocking chair was strewn with leaves, and it looked like no one had rested on it for a long time.

Ming Dao shouted into the house

"Anyone?"

As soon as Ming Dao spoke, everyone saw the shadow in the house frozen in place, and then slowly approached the door, gently opened the door of the house, Lu Lu looked outside with one eye, and after scanning Ming Dao and the others, the people in the house seemed to be a little scared and asked outside

"Who are you?"
