The boss said with a surprised expression: "It's an empty city!" ”

Under Xiong Lei's repeated questioning, the boss told the story about Taoyu Town......

It happened in the seventies and eighties of the last century, when most of the other towns were rural, and Taoyu Town was even poorer......

A few decades ago, there was a family there, only an old mother lived with her son, I heard that the child had a very serious illness when he was young, because the family was poor and had no money for treatment, the child had a fever and burned out his brain, and since then he has become relatively stunted in IQ development, and he does not walk and talk like a normal child, everyone calls him a fool......

But although he is a fool, he is very filial, he knows that his mother is working hard alone, so he wants to help do what he can......

One afternoon, when his mother was working in the fields, a ten-year-old fool made a fire at home and wanted to cook some food and wait for his mother to come back to eat, but he didn't have a good grasp of the fire because of his lack of intelligence, so he just kept filling firewood and fanning the wind, and the fire was getting bigger and bigger......

This time the fire is even more out of control......

The fire ignited the kitchen and then the entire house......

In desperation, he hid under the covers, which seemed safe......

When the neighbor found out about the fire and put out the fire, he found the fool hiding in the bed......

It is said that fools have foolish blessings, God is hungry and blind sparrows, and the fire that day did not burn the fool, but although the fool did not die, most of the skin on his body was burned by the fire......

Since then, the fool has not only been a fool, but also an ugly monster!

Since the family had no money, his mother could only simply repair the dilapidated house, so that he could barely shelter from the wind and rain......

Time passed day by day, the fool was so isolated, and the elderly mother was also aging little by little......

Other families in the village are getting better and better, and some even start their own small businesses...... Only the two mothers of the fool's family, the more shabby they become......

The fool who grew up slowly watched the old lady's body get worse day by day, and the fool's heart was very anxious, but he was a burned fool, what could he do?

Seeing that winter is coming, in the past, every time this time, the fool's mother would always go to the nearby barren mountains to cut some firewood, so as to support the two of them from freezing to death......

The fool picked up a rusty axe and carried a worn-out bamboo basket on his back, and he prepared to go to the mountains to chop some firewood......

The fool returned empty-handed that day......

A few days passed, and the foolish old mother became weaker and weaker, but their family did not even have a decent quilt......

Once again, the fool took the basket on his back and picked up the axe......

But that day, when he returned, the old and sick old lady had died in the cold bed......

He threw himself on the side of the bed and shouted, "Mother~! Mother~! ”

Outside the door came the laughter of children playing, and that day, the first heavy snow of the day......

The fool took up his axe and rushed out of the house, and he cut down anyone he saw and killed anyone alive......

In his heart, he hated the people in the village, hated all the people who were better than him, he felt that God was unfair, why did he become a fool, and why did he burn his body......

He felt that all the people deserved to die......

Hearing this, Xiong Lei was a little surprised, isn't this story the dream of the tavern owner? Is this a coincidence?

Xiong Lei hurriedly asked, "Then the whole village is dead?" What happened to that fool later? ”

"Everyone died, and I heard that the fool later committed suicide as well...... the boss said......

"But there are some buildings in that town, too? It doesn't look like a rural village......" Xiong Lei asked puzzled......

The boss took a sip of wine and continued, "Yes! Later, a development team came there, and a few masters were found, saying that the scenery there was good, and that they might be able to make money by developing it, and a few masters became mages there, saying that it was a super soul, and later, it was expanded and opened, and the name changed from Taoyu Village to Taoyu Town......"

Xiong Lei nodded and said, "I see, but why do you say it's an empty city?" ”

"I don't know if it was because the master's practice was not done well at that time, or because of something else, anyway, as long as someone goes to live, no matter what they do, strange things will happen, either dead or crazy...... Gradually, even the developers gave up there, and no one ever went there again...... I've heard people say that it's because the axe used to kill a village of people has not been found, so the evil can't be cleaned! ”

Before Xiong Lei could speak, the boss continued: "I remember when I was a child, I heard the old people in my family say that on the day when those masters did things, the old people in my family also went to join in the fun, saying that the master was holding a wooden villain in his hand, and that it was to help the soul to ......transcend."

Xiong Lei took a sharp breath, he thought of the wooden villain on the bar of the tavern owner, presumably the so-called masters at that time were not really over-retired, but imprisoned their souls with the wooden villain, and later, by chance, the wooden villain was picked up by the tavern owner......

Xiong Lei slapped his thigh again, he forgot to tell the tavern owner something strange about the wooden villain!

But for a while, he didn't know how to tell the tavern owner, and he decided that he would go to the tavern himself after arriving home tomorrow!

Xiong Lei thought of the Minju Hotel again and asked, "Big brother, do you know what's going on with the Minju Hotel?" ”

The boss took another big sip of wine before he said, "I heard that when it was just developed there, he opened the Minju Hotel there, but unfortunately he went crazy later and killed several customers in his shop...... Another one was strangled by him and hung in the house......"

Xiong Lei was stunned for a moment, he remembered the hanging shadow he had seen in the room at the end of the corridor when they first went......

The boss approached Xiong Lei with a mysterious face, lowered his voice and said, "I still heard about it...... The location of the Minju Hotel was the fool's house back then! Some people also say that every day when a fool slaughters the village, someone will go there to worship it......"

Xiong Lei's eyes widened......
