Chapter 47: The Legend of the Village

Early in the morning, not long after dawn, Li Yu woke me up. After getting in the car, I found that there was a lot of food and water in the car, and it seemed that Li Yu had plans to live in Qingfeng Village for a long time.

After turning on the GPS navigator and having the specific location, I looked at the address marked on it, which was not very far from us. If you calculate the driving time, it will be a little more than an hour's drive at most. Maybe it was because I was woken up early and I was sleepy, so I sat in the co-pilot and gradually fell asleep.

When he was about to wake up, he saw that Li Yu in the driver's seat was nowhere to be found. The car had stopped, and the sun shone through the glass on my face, and a warm feeling spread throughout my body. I shook my neck, still a little sore, and then got out of the car, only to see that in front of me there was a tall mountain, semi-concave, as if it had been hollowed out, and there was suddenly a village inside, two towering jade-white pillars, clearly written: Qingfeng Village.

If you only see these two pillars, you might think that this is a tourist attraction, because the pillars look quite old and have many stripes carved on them. But if you look into the village, you will find that it is deserted, a long road, and there is hardly a single person. Li Yu half-squatted on the ground, he didn't know when an extra lollipop came out in his hand, a smile appeared on his face, and he shook it in front of a little boy who was not clothed, and the silent little boy suddenly howled and cried, which made Li Yu Zhang Huang panic.

I walked over, took the lollipop from Li Yu's hand, and then gently stroked the little boy's head, and whispered, "Little brother, don't be afraid." Big brother and big sister are good people, you answer me a question, this lollipop will be eaten for you, okay? ”。

Kindness! The little boy nodded timidly.

Seeing this, I smiled unabated, and hurriedly pointed to the roadside on both sides of me, puzzled: "Can you tell the big brother why there is no one on the road in broad daylight." Is this an empty stockade? ”。

When the little boy heard my words, a trace of horror suddenly appeared in his eyes, and he hurriedly stepped back, "Big brother, this place is haunted", and as he spoke, he grabbed the lollipop in my hand and ran into the distance. Li Yu wanted to catch up, so I waved my hand and said, "No need to chase, let's go find some adults here."

Li Yu drove the car, and I sat on the side and slowly recalled the experience of coming here with my uncle, it seemed that something had changed here, but I felt that I always said it. After parking the car in a place in the village, Li Yu and I each carried a large bag and walked straight along the only official road towards the residence of the people in front of us.

As I remember, I didn't see any young people except the old and young people in the twilight. Following the instructions, we went straight to the residence of the old man Qi with the highest prestige in Qingfeng Village, because the old man Qi has a long life and is knowledgeable, the people in the village are called "Qi Xiucai".

Since the existence of the village, the Qi clan has been the leader here. The house in front of you is also different from the red wall and white tiles next to it, with a hint of ancient flavor, carved railings and jade masonry, wooden windows and red tiles, although it looks a little old, but it also adds a touch of style.

As if sensing someone coming, an old man with a white beard on crutches walked straight out of the house. Although the back looks a little rickety, the whole person still looks very tough, and a pair of deep eyes can see that he has rich experience. Qi Xiucai glanced at me and Li Yu slightly, and then his gaze stayed on me, and said, "Little friend, here you are again!" This time, why didn't your uncle come with me, he asked me to help you recover your memory, and there is progress."

What the! I was suddenly shocked in my heart, "Why don't I have any impression of Qi Xiucai in my mind, haven't I seen him three years ago?" But that's not right! If he hadn't seen me, how would he recognize me? ”

Feeling a pain in my arm, I couldn't help but cry out with an "ah", only to see that a piece of my arm had been pinched purple by Li Yu, and when I saw Qi Xiucai looking at it in surprise, I was busy shaking my senses and replied with a smile: "Qi Xiucai, I'm sorry just now." Can we come into the house and talk."

All right! Qi Xiucai laughed and made a gesture of invitation towards us.

The furnishings in the room are very simple, I didn't expect Qi Xiucai, who was only one person left, to love cleanliness so much, it was really rare. Seeing that Qi Xiucai had already sat down, I sat next to me, and there was a doubt in my words, "Forgive the juniors for going straight." There are a few things I would like to ask Qi Xiucai."

"Xiaoyou, it's polite to speak like this. Your uncle is a generous man, and in order to restore your memory, he allocates a huge sum of money to me every year. If it weren't for the leakage of a few herbs in my ancestral secret recipe, I would have been able to restore the memory of my little friend a long time ago" Qi Xiucai said, then took out a white handkerchief, only to see that black characters were densely written on it, missing a corner, looking at my confused look, Qi Xiucai continued with a smile: "This handkerchief is recorded on my ancestors' prescription, and its medicine is specially taken by people who have lost their memories. After nearly five or six years of calculation, the mystery was finally solved. There are a total of three herbs missing, two of which have been found, and the last herb is very special, named An Vanilla. There are four leaves, which are very rare, only found in the mountain behind our stockade, and I saw it once when I was a child."

After Qi Xiucai finished speaking, he took out a folded piece of white paper from his sleeve, and saw a medicinal herb painted on it, with the three big characters An Vanilla written on it, "This is what I drew from memory, you can put it away." Ann vanilla is very precious, and I can't rest assured that ordinary people are worried about this a few days ago. It just so happens that your little friend is here, so I will ask you to go with this girl, and then I will call someone to go with you to help you."

The amount of information is really not ordinary. I slowly recalled what Qi Xiucai said in my mind, and I couldn't find any useful information for the time being, so I hurriedly shook off the distracting thoughts in my mind, and then asked, "Dare to ask Qi Xiucai another thing." Just now, when we entered the village, we asked a child, and he said that this place is haunted, is this really the case? ”。

Ay! Speaking of this, Qi Xiucai sighed heavily, and the whole person slowly stood up, I wanted to step forward to help it, Qi Xiucai hurriedly waved his hand, looked at the sky outside the door, and said with a painful face: "This matter is a long story." According to the notes left by my ancestors, when my ancestors lived here and passed on to the second generation, that is, when the last emperor of the Ming Dynasty, Chongzhen, died tragically and Emperor Dashun ascended the throne, perhaps it was not a good day. At this time, a special person came to Qingfeng Village. I'm not afraid of your jokes, my ancestor's notes say that this person's right hand is different from ordinary people, with six fingers, and his strength is not ordinary, even my ancestors' proud kung fu is beyond reach, this person calls himself Sun Batian. My ancestors began to guess that this person was most likely wanted by the imperial court, but there was no evidence, and this person was also very righteous enough to distribute all the money he carried with him to the people in the village, and he called my ancestors brothers."

Isn't it great? I unconsciously looked at Qi Xiucai in confusion. I saw Qi Xiucai's face was bitter, and he continued: "Everything was originally very beautiful. Until one day, a group of errand servants passed by, and I don't know why, suddenly Sun Batian had a dispute with this group of errand officers, and Sun Batian killed all the errand servants at once. My ancestor thought about it, and in order to protect his life, he teamed up with a few people from the village to kill Sun Batian."

"At this point, my ancestors thought it was over, but they did not expect that from then on, on the 30th of November every year, strange things would happen. On this night, some people will die inexplicably, and some people who don't want to leave will stay. Gradually, everyone found that as long as the gate was closed that day and they didn't go out, they would be safe. Nowadays, there are still many people left, only some old, weak, sick and disabled are left" Qi Xiucai looked sad, as if he recalled the past, and when he left, he pointed to the two rooms on the side and said, "Although no one has lived in the two rooms next to them, I have cleaned them." Let me stay with you for a while. By the way, I would like to remind you that tomorrow is November 30th, so don't wander around tomorrow night."

The more we say this, the more we have to see who must be manipulating behind this weirdness! (To be continued.) )
