Chapter 0095: Cursed Village
It is said that the poor mountains and bad waters come out of the people, this time it is considered to be insightful, how can you move the stick when you meet without talking.
This place is indeed poor enough, the houses are all very dilapidated mud houses, and the clothes on these people are also very old, there are no lights, and they actually hold torches in their hands.
"In broad daylight, what do you want to do, don't mess with the fat man."
The fat man was born with a loud voice, and with a weight of more than 200 catties, it can indeed play a lot of deterrent effect at this time, and a few people who were closer to the fat man involuntarily took a step back.
At this time, I found out that these people around us are basically old people, even if they are younger, they should be forty years old, what are you kidding, a group of old people over half a hundred years old came out to block the road, what kind of world is this!
"Young man, where are you from?"
The voice came from behind, and I froze, and the men in front of me were looking at me with torches, and I did not see the man who spoke.
I wondered how it could not be that I could see whether it was a human or a ghost, and then several people standing in front of me suddenly turned sideways, and I saw a gray-haired old man coming out from behind, this person should not be young, and his back was bent.
The person who spoke just now must have been him, standing behind someone else because of his hunchback, and the light of the torch was so dim that we couldn't see it clearly at all, and it was precisely because of this that it gave people the illusion that there was no one.
"We came down from the mountains, and we had no ill intentions, so we wanted to find a place to rest for the night."
"You said you came down from the mountain? That's impossible! ”
The old man was carrying a cane in his hand, and he paused twice on the ground, and his eyes were staring at me as if he had some deep hatred.
What's going on! I began to regret it when I said that, because the men had come around with the guys again.
"Don't come, don't come."
There were dozens of people coming out of the village, all carrying sticks and iron forks for farm work, this was not a joke, not to mention that they were all old people, and if they rushed over and smashed us on the head, it would be useless.
Mu Ruohua took out a dagger, Big Tooth also had a stick in his hand, the fat man clenched his fists and shouted at the top of his voice, and there was the barking of a dog behind him, the situation was particularly chaotic at that time.
"We're not bad people, uncle, are we misunderstanding?" I'm trying to explain, especially me, who has a kind face, doesn't look like a bad person in any way.
"You shouldn't be here!"
After saying this, the old man at the head raised his arm, and the villagers who approached with torches in hand stopped.
The old man looked at me, probably because of his age, and the corners of his eyes were downward, so he could barely see his eyes when he looked at me.
"We're here to find someone, can you tell us what's going on here?"
"Did you really come down from the mountains?" The old man asked again, and he kept secretly looking at my hand as he said this.
I nodded back, "Yes." ”
"I can't believe that there are still people who can come down from the mountain alive!" The old man sighed after speaking, "Let's put it all down, they are people." ”
They are people!
What does this mean, is it to treat us as those things, even if, these are just ordinary old people, there is no way to fight against them.
The old man's body shook for a moment, and I hurriedly walked over, "Old man, be careful." ”
"Scared you, didn't you?" The old man suddenly grabbed my wrist, and I felt him very hard and grabbed it hard.
"That's not true, it's just weird, people here don't seem to welcome us!"
"It's for your good, since you're coming down from the mountains, it's all different." The old man let go of his hand, then turned and walked back, and the villagers with torches returned to the village as well.
We were stunned, these people were really strange, they looked like they were going to kill people just now, and now they suddenly left, and they didn't invite us to go.
"Shall we go in?"
"Since everyone is here, if they are really in trouble, they should always help."
"Okay."
We followed a group of people to go inside, the black dog at the entrance of the village saw me frightened and went into the nest at once, the nest was not big, most of the butt was exposed, I saw the black dog desperately drill in, and then I actually saw an even stranger scene.
The dog was dead, and there was a basin in front of it, and there was blood in it, and several people grabbed the dog's leg, and the blood was running down the neck and into the basin.
I don't know why I have that picture in my head, because I have loved dogs since I was a child, so I never ate dog meat when I grew up.
There was a relatively open square in front of the village, in which a few stones were placed, and stools and chairs were brought in, all of which were very old ones.
We sat down and the old man began to tell the story of the village.
"This mountain, used to be a spiritual mountain, if someone is sick, or have any wishes, as long as you go to the top with your heart to ask, it will definitely come true, so the incense on the mountain has been very prosperous, I don't know why, since five years ago, everything has changed, someone went up the mountain and was bitten to death by a wild beast, at first thought that it was just a chance encounter, and then as long as someone went up, something would happen, and those who were bitten to death would get up and bite people after carrying it back.
"Zombies!"
The old man looked at me, "That's not clear, anyway, when I see someone, I bite it, some people say that it is a monster in the mountain, and then no one dares to go up." ”
"What happened to the biting corpses?"
The old man sighed, "That thing is afraid of fire, and is afraid that it will come out to bite people in the future, when everyone surrounded it with torches, and then burned it with fire, from that moment on, our village was cursed, and often people have accidents for no reason, because of fear, those young people who can walk are gone, and we useless people are left." ”
"Curse!"
We exclaimed almost at the same time, as long as it was associated with the curse, most of them were a little evil, and the fat man had already tossed enough to choke when he was hit by the head, and now it was an even more evil curse.
"Yes, curse, it must be our sin against the gods of the mountain, that's why it's like this!"
The old man's arm was raised, and the crutch was pointing in the direction of the mountain we had passed, and his expression was very serious.
"You've been?"
The old man shook his head, "No, these are all from the old man before, a long time ago, there was a strange thing here, many people died, and then a witch appeared, subdued those monsters that ate people and drank blood, although it is just a legend, we have always believed it, I heard that those monsters were buried in this mountain later." ”
"I see!"
Listening to the old man's words, I gradually had some clues, that the ancient tomb was not used to bury people, but to bury the people who were killed by the monsters, and the altar used to suppress the monsters.
I don t want to be inadvertently found by tomb thieves, I must have thought that there was some treasure in it, and in the end, because of the things on the woman's body on the altar, it is not clear whether the mirror in my hand was obtained by Mu Ruohua's father from the ancient tomb, or by other means.
"Master Wei, is there any way, help these people!"
I coughed, the fat man was also kind, but unfortunately now I don't have a clue at all, the old man doesn't look old, his ears are really good, "Young man, do you know these methods?" ”
"I just know a thing or two."
"That's fine, please help us, if we can't break that curse, this village will be finished."
"Okay, I'll take a look at it for you after dawn tomorrow."
"Okay."
The size of the village is not small, and it is conceivable that it must have been a large village at one time, because of the curse.
There are many vacant houses in the village, and the old man found a family for us to live in, and this family should have been very prosperous before, with a large population, and there were five houses alone.
Mu Ruohua lived in one room with the two female college students, and me, the fat man and Daya lived in one room, and there was a wall in between, and I gave the three of them a talisman before coming in.
"If there's something to knock on the wall, we'll go there immediately."
Mu Ruohua glanced at me, "If you want to prevent people like you, sleep well, and help others solve the curse tomorrow." ”
They pushed the door in, and then plugged it in, and the three of us also walked in, there was no light inside, we could only go in with a flashlight, don't see that no one lived, it was very clean inside.
