Chapter 68: Gushui Village (2)

After walking a short distance, Miss Bai gently pulled me and whispered, "Ah Leng, that stream does seem to be wrong." ”

"Oh?" I was taken aback.

"Do you have any animals there other than plants?"

"Animals? …”

Suddenly, a butterfly flew past me, and my heart suddenly brightened. Now the weather is warm, and there are insects flying everywhere, but there is not a single insect in that stream...

"You two hurry up." Yang Shujun shouted.

After walking for about half a mile, we came to another village, rounding a hill. There is also a village monument at the entrance of this village that reads 'Gushui Village', but it is a little smaller. In terms of architectural style, the two villages are about the same. However, this village has relatively few residents, and several temples are interspersed between the houses. The uncle sent us to the village and went back.

Some villagers said that three or four months ago, he and the young man in the photo had lived in the village for about half a month. Living in a deserted house in the south of the village, no one knows where they came from. The next day, Yang Niansheng broke his leg for some reason, and the young man carried him out of the mountain, and then he never appeared again...

"Let's go to that deserted house."

According to the villagers, the deserted house was originally occupied by an elderly couple in the village and their son. A few years ago, the old man disappeared, and the old lady and her son moved away.

I suddenly remembered the old man's words and asked, "Did the old man go out to herd sheep and go missing?" ”

"Huh? How do you know? The villager was stunned for a moment, then lowered his voice and said, "You must have heard about the evil things in our village before you came, right?" ”

I nodded.

"That's good." The villager said, "I wanted to remind you not to run around at night, let alone go to that stream, but now I don't need to say anything..."

Under the guidance of the villagers, we came to the deserted house where Yang Niansheng lived. In the middle of the room was a stone wall that divided a room in half. Each room had a stone bed, and in the east half there was a low door that led to the sheepfold outside.

The house was empty, filled with an unpleasant musty smell, and cobwebs were floating everywhere. We didn't have anything left out of the house except for a small pile of leftover bones in the corner. There is an abandoned stone mill in front of the house near the intersection, and there are leftover bones next to the mill. I think this should be what the uncle said before, when he was chopping wood, he passed by and saw Yang Niansheng and the others eating.

It seems that Yang Niansheng was injured when he lived in this village, and then, the person in the photo carried him out of the mountain and stayed in the county hospital for twenty days, so what about after that? … Later, the young man in the photo went to Stone Village, told the villagers that the mountain was going to collapse, and tricked them into going out, while he himself lived in a stone chamber in the back mountain with food and drink, and somehow died inside. I think the reason why he knew about the 'underground passage' leading to the stone chamber should be Yang Niansheng suing him. However, what about Yang Niansheng? Where did he go after he got out of the hospital? … Also, how did Yang Niansheng and the person in the photo meet, why did they come to this village in the first place, and live for half a month? …

I sat on the stone mill and thought about it, and I vaguely felt in my heart that Yang Niansheng might really be dead at this moment. What I learned from the beginning of that night was that he had been to this village before he died, and the reason why there was a pattern of 'human escape' means that he had 'escaped' underground and was no longer alive...

"Ah Leng, what are you thinking?"

"Huh?"

Miss Bai walked over and asked in a somewhat stunned whisper, "I'm thinking about your girlfriend, aren't you?" ”

"Nope." I smiled.

Miss Bai snorted, just think about it, why don't you admit it.

"Yang Niansheng is such an old man, he is not my girlfriend..."

I told Miss Bai what I thought about Yang Niansheng in my heart, and Miss Bai thought about it and whispered, don't tell Uncle Yang.

"Hmm." I nodded.

"What are you two doing?" Yang Shujun shouted in the house, "Let's come and rest for a while, uncle, I've cleaned your bed too..."

During lunch, we didn't know where to fetch water, so we had to eat a cold meal and divide the bottles of leftover mineral water we had brought with us. After taking a nap, we decided to ask the nearby residents again to see if they knew why Yang Niansheng lived here in the first place.

However, even knocking on the doors of the two houses, no one responded. When he was puzzled, he saw a villager panting and carrying a load of water from the intersection. Stopped and asked, the villager said that there was a waterfall to the west of Sanli, and there was a stream under the waterfall, and many villagers went there to fetch water and laundry.

After discussion, Miss Bai and I decided to go to the waterfall. Where there are many villagers, I may be able to ask about Yang Niansheng. As for Yang Shujun, he stayed behind to take care of our luggage, inquire about the news in the village, and let Xiao Hei protect his safety.

I was afraid that I would be hungry when I came back, so I brought some food, and by the way, I took the bag containing the magic utensils, and went out of the village with Miss Bai. Walking along a rugged mountain road to the west, I met several villagers who had returned from fetching water. Under questioning, they all said that they had seen Yang Niansheng, but they didn't know the purpose of his living in the village.

Passing through a mountain forest, we saw a waterfall. The waterfall in front of us is far less spectacular than the one we saw when we first entered the mountain. The villagers under the waterfall stopped laughing and looked at us, but more eyes fell on Miss Bai, and several young eyes were straight.

"This old man? I've seen it, I've seen it

"I've seen it too, I look a little nervous, and I've lived in our village for a while."

"Then do you know why he lives in the village?" I asked.

The villagers shook their heads.

"I don't know, he doesn't deal with us..."

"The young man next to him is very handsome, and he looks quite gentle, but he rarely pays attention to us...", a dark-eyed mountain girl said with a blushing face.

"Oh, is the second sister taking a fancy to the little white face?"

"It's just..."

A group of women burst into laughter.

"Go, go, don't talk nonsense, I'll get married next month..."

"Do they stay in the village every day?" I asked.

"Nope." The second sister said, "They often go out, I don't know where to go, the old man is so old, he walks quite well..."

"I've seen them outside the village," said one young man.

"Where?"

"When I went to Qiancun, I passed by the stream where there was no water, and when I saw that they were looking for something in the stream, I told them that the stream was very evil, and they must leave before dark..."

"Is there a shortcut to the stream from here?" I asked.

"Didn't you come by a fork in the road, and follow the fork in the road, and you will come to the stream." The young man said.

"Wait until it's getting dark, don't go."

"That's it, it's the old evil guy there at night..."

Those villagers said with concern.

"No, I'm just asking." I said with a smile.

After leaving the waterfall, Miss Bai asked me, "What do you think?" ”

"Yang Niansheng and they live in this village, which may have something to do with that strange mountain stream. I think they must have found something in that stream...", I looked at the sky, "in this case, you go back to the village first, and I'll go and see." ”

"Do you think I'll go back?" Miss Bai said, "Let's go together." ”

Looking at Miss Bai's persistent look, I was very moved in my heart.

"Aren't you afraid?" I asked.

"Cut..."Miss Bai raised her chin, "You're not afraid, I'm not afraid, I'm not afraid of being buried under the landslide, am I still afraid of a false mountain stream?" ”

I shook my head and smiled wryly.

"Besides, with you, the gossip master of Rory, I'm even more afraid..."

Hearing Miss Bai say this, a manly spirit rose in my heart, and at the same time, I hated myself a little for not being good at learning, it would be nice if I had the master's ability.

"No matter what you give birth to, you'll protect me and won't leave me, will you? …”

Miss Bai said softly, her face flushed after she finished speaking, and she turned her head to the side.

"That's right." I straightened my waist, "Yuxin, let's go!" ”
