Chapter 148: Spirit Hunting Village—Infiltration

The appearance of this village is too strange, because I have the impression that the ghost town is a secluded place, but it is a little unbelievable that there is such a large village just a few mountains away. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info

The strangest thing is that the village is unusually quiet, and the overall feeling is lifeless, there is no light, and there is no one to be seen, it seems to be an abandoned village.

I searched my memory carefully, and the map didn't show the village, so I guessed it wasn't very old, at least it was younger than that map.

Outside the village, two pillars stood in front of me, and the two beams above them were very rudimentary, forming the gates of a village. There is a wooden plaque hanging on the beam, and the three characters on it are written in the Chinese script, but the first two characters are shaped like the Chinese character "Hunting Spirit", and the last word is probably "Village" or "Town" without looking at it, so I think it is "Hunting Spirit Village".

I cautiously walked through the gate, looking around from time to time, after all, the village was so quiet that there was no sound except for my footsteps and breathing, which invisibly created a sense of tension.

From my vantage point, the structure of the village is very complex, with paths separating each courtyard and large and small earthen houses scattered to give people a dazzling feeling. In the meantime, the strange and strange are staggered, the bricks and tiles are stacked, and there is a sense of nothingness in it.

I walked into the nearest courtyard, which was enclosed by earthen walls, mottled with moss, and many places had been destroyed, and between the ruins, a small arched wooden door was very well preserved, and it looked like it had just been renovated.

The strangest thing to me was that the dry well in the yard was full of fallen leaves, and the water at the bottom of the well was dirty and smelly, but there was a small water tank next to it, and the water in it was still fresh.

With a hint of curiosity and fear, I crept under the eaves, and gently pushed the wooden door with my hand, and found that it was locked, but judging by the dust on the ground, it seemed that someone had recently entered and exited. The small window next to the door was also locked, and I couldn't push it open, so I tiptoed around to the back of the room to see if there was another entrance.

This room is actually quite large, estimated to have four or five side rooms, and there are a few places under the corners where the cement is still very new, and it seems to have been repaired. There was a very low brick wall on both sides of the house, and because it was not tamped, I was very careful when I climbed over it, for fear of disturbing the people in the house, and I didn't know what these people were doing, and it would be difficult for me to explain it if I were caught.

It took me a great deal of effort to run to the back of the house, and there was a side door outside it, and outside it was a stone sink with a faucet that went deep into the ground, but it did not come out of the water. The door was sealed with wooden strips and reinforced with a ring of wire, presumably not to allow people to pass through.

I couldn't help it, so I was ready to leave to see if I could find anything else. As soon as I turned around, by the clear moonlight, I suddenly caught a glimpse of a ladder lying horizontally on the other side of the pool, and although a few of them were broken in the middle, they did not look secure, but they could barely be used.

Although the room has two floors, the height is not very high, I took a ladder against the wall, and the top end was about 50 centimeters away from the roof, and I could almost climb this height.

So I rolled up my sleeves and climbed up cautiously, to be honest, it really felt like a thief, although I didn't know why I did it, but since I came, I had to find a way to find out, and I believe that the village that suddenly appeared in this place must have its reason.

I had to keep the noise to a minimum, so I got up quite slowly, and I had to look around for a while with each step for fear that someone would suddenly come out. Finally, I turned to the top of the roof, and I saw a large chimney in front of the left, and the flashlight shone past and I could see that the inner wall of the chimney was blackened, and on the other side of the roof, there was a square cover plate on the ground, and there were several red bricks next to it.

I stepped forward and pulled it, and the cover was also locked from the inside, and it was very strong, I was a little depressed, and I really wanted to kick it open with a kick at this time, but I was afraid that there would be people in the house, so it was a bit difficult.

There was only that chimney at the moment, and I walked up to it, and found that the chimney was quite wide, and I roughly estimated that it should be more than enough to poke and poke from here.

I pulled out a rope, fastened the bag to my feet, and got my whole body through the hole in the side of the chimney. As soon as I entered it, I regretted it a little, a smell of coal ballast came to my nose, and there were oil stains all around, and I was covered with a layer of dust when I moved a little, but fortunately these oil fumes were covered with a layer of ash, otherwise it would have been disgusting to death.

I slowly descended to the bottom, which was a very narrow space, and after walking a short distance horizontally, I encountered a few loose pieces of masonry blocking the way, and I kicked it with great difficulty, and entered the inside of the stove. It was full of charcoal ashes, and some unburned dry firewood, and a small hole was made in one side, which was used to throw firewood.

There were two large holes in the upper wall of the stove, and there was no pot, so I slowly moved to the bottom of it, stood up with difficulty, and poked my head out in a half-squat.

It was dark in my eyes, I turned on the flashlight and took a look around, this is indeed a place to cook, next to it is a firewood room, but it seems that no one has used it for a long time, the pots and pans are scattered all over the place, messy broken wood can be seen everywhere, the tiles on the stove have also been damaged, and as far as the eye can see, this place is a mess, as if it has been looted.

I made sure it was safe, so I climbed out cautiously, patted the dust off my body, and headed for a door, which was supposed to lead to the lobby.

Out of the door, on the left is a small bathroom, on the right is a flight of stairs, leading to the second floor, in front of a relatively large hall, for the sake of caution, I did not take the stairs, first find out the situation on the first floor, so that in case of emergency can be easy to escape.

I couldn't help but find it strange that there was a statue of a god on one side of the lobby, and in the middle was a large wooden table covered with dust, but there was no other furnishings except this wooden table, not even chairs.

Passing through the lobby, I came to the main entrance, the latches and wooden bolts on the door were locked, and on my left and right should be the bedrooms. I removed the latch and bolt from the door, ready to escape at any moment, and quietly walked out of the door on the left.

The door was hidden, gently pushed open, leaning against the door frame I cautiously poked my head in, and in an instant, a strange sour smell hit, could this be the Yunling corpse Gu that Uncle Li once said?
