Willow shade willow shade, naturally means willow shade, Wu Zhiyuan understood it in this way, so at this time, when he saw the willow trees planted on the roadside, he first began to wonder if this was the Liuyin Village where the master assigned him to send the corpse. However, just because there are willow trees planted on the roadside, it is inevitable that this is Liuyin Village in Yidu County, which is inevitably too child's play, and Wu Zhiyuan plans to go into the village to inquire.

The road in front of him became narrower and narrower, and the carriage shook very much, Wu Zhiyuan looked in front of him, and saw that the road was winding to the village in front, but the road conditions were no longer allowed for carriages, so he had no choice but to drive the carriage to the side of the road and tie the horses under a thicker willow tree.

Taking out the peachwood sword from the canopy, Wu Zhiyuan moved forward on foot instead. Although the path is narrow and rugged, there is no obstacle for one person to walk, and there are more and more willow trees along the way, and as far as the eye can see, almost all the mountains are planted with willow trees, and you can imagine the green scenery of willow trees here in spring and summer.

Along the way, the road was covered with dry grass, and some sections of the road were even impossible to walk, and there was no half a figure on the road, which looked very desolate. Wu Zhiyuan couldn't help but wonder, how could this road to the village be so barren? There was a faint sense of foreboding in his heart, which was indescribable, but it became stronger and stronger.

Before the tea time, the village is already close in front of you, and the road into the village is full of willow trees, but there is not a single willow tree around the village, which gives people a very strange feeling.

Before Wu Zhiyuan reached the entrance of the village, he heard a sound of crying coming from the village, he frowned, but he heard the crying getting closer and closer, as if he was walking towards him, and heard that the voice was male and female, and the number should be more than ten.

Sure enough, after a while, a group of people came from the village, all of whom were wearing white filial piety clothes, wearing filial piety hats on their heads, and wearing filial piety belts around their waists, all of them bowed their heads and sobbed, looking extremely sad.

"It turned out to be a funeral." Wu Zhiyuan's heart was suddenly in his heart, and he hurriedly made way for the funeral procession.

In the funeral crowd, there were people constantly throwing paper money into the air, the cold wind blew, the sky was full of white dark coins, desolate and abnormal, Wu Zhiyuan looked at the crowd slowly leaving, and couldn't help but feel pity in his heart. How would it feel to see the living so sad?

The funeral procession gradually moved away, Wu Zhiyuan looked at the back of the funeral crowd in a daze, his heart was fluttering, at this moment, he saw from a distance that the last person in the team slowly turned his head to look at him, and then slowly turned around, as if raising his hand to make a nose wiping motion.

Because he was too far away and didn't pay much attention, Wu Zhiyuan didn't see the person's appearance clearly, he didn't think much about it, turned around and walked towards the entrance of the village.

After walking a dozen steps, Wu Zhiyuan's heart suddenly shocked, he suddenly stopped, and hurriedly looked back to see that the funeral procession had already gone away and had disappeared from his field of vision.

Wu Zhiyuan didn't think twice, and hurriedly chased in the direction where the funeral crowd left, because he remembered in an instant that the person at the end of the line just now was not wiping his nose, but putting the thing in his hand in front of his nose and sniffing, the thing in his hand should be the small glass bottle that he didn't know what was inside, and that person should be the mysterious man in black who had seen his back in the dwarf woods!

Wu Zhiyuan chased wildly, chasing more than three miles in one go, but he never saw the shadow of the funeral procession, only the dark coins all over the ground continued to rotate with the cold wind.

It is impossible to go so fast with the speed of the funeral procession, and there are no woods and hills around to block it, Wu Zhiyuan is chasing after him, and it is impossible not to see the trace of the crowd. But now, not only was there no trace of them, but not even a trace of crying could be heard, and the group of people suddenly disappeared from this world as if they had evaporated from the world.

Wu Zhiyuan stood in the wasteland for a moment, and had no choice but to walk towards the village with doubts, since the black-clothed man who was used to sniffing small bottles was from this village, he could start from this village, and he could always find out a little news.

When he came to the entrance of the village, Wu Zhiyuan deliberately looked around, trying to find a sign such as the village monument to determine the name of the village, but after looking for a long time, he didn't see anything landmarked.

When he was wondering if this village was Liuyin Village, Wu Zhiyuan suddenly found that something was wrong with this village, although there were many houses in the village, the houses looked very dilapidated, the courtyard walls were overgrown with withered grass, and many houses had their doors overturned to the ground, and at the same time, there was no rooster and dog barking in this village, let alone the slightest human voice, it was a dead silence, and it didn't look like someone lived at all.

Wu Zhi ran away from home for more than a month before, and later encountered a similar situation when he returned to Wujia Village, but at that time, Wujia Village was empty of people, and all the things in the village were readily available, and there were traces of people, but now the situation of this village is not the same as Wujia Village at that time, and this village looks like an abandoned village that has been abandoned for decades.

Wu Zhiyuan took a closer look at the surrounding houses, these houses are not high, all of them are made of adobe bricks, at a glance, he knows that they are old houses that are more than 50 years old, although these houses have been exposed to the wind and sun for many years, but many have not collapsed, why are these houses abandoned? Where did the people of the village go?

Now it seems that this qiē is a mystery, Wu Zhiyuan faintly feels that this mystery has a certain relationship with the man in black, since it involves the man in black, the handkerchief painted with a treasure map on his body has become the key to this mystery.

Wu Zhiyuan had a close conversation with the man in black, and he concluded that the man in black was a human and not a ghost, but the man in black could disappear along with the funeral crowd, which seemed to be not explained by common sense. Wu Zhiyuan felt more and more that this village was not simple, and there must be some hidden secrets in it.

Thinking about it, Wu Zhiyuan walked to the courtyard gate of a house at the entrance of the village, the courtyard door was hidden and was already crumbling, he reached out and pushed it gently, and the door fell to the ground with a "bang", and a puff of dust was raised after landing.

When the dust settled, Wu Zhiyuan walked into the courtyard, the yard was depressed, the grass was long, and it was obvious that no one had taken care of it for many years. He stepped on the grass and walked straight to the door of the house.

The house was in a dilapidated state, the window lattices had decayed, only a rough shape remained, the door in the middle was gone, the doorway was black, and it was impossible to see the inside of the house from the bright part of the courtyard.

Wu Zhiyuan walked through the barren grass in the courtyard and came to the door of the main room step by step, he hadn't yet entered the door, he looked up at the house, and was immediately surprised.

I saw a black lacquer coffin placed in the east and west directions of the house!
