Chapter 70: Dig Deeper

As he spoke, the middle-aged man shook his head and sighed, picked up the tea jar, and drank the water.

My heartbeat accelerated a little, and I looked at Yu Xin, only to see that Yu Xin also changed color slightly. I can't help but think of the village I visited in Yang Shujun, Hebei...... Could it be that there are also evil spirits in the village called 'Old Village' in front of you? … If this Wanjin Mountain is Fan Tongtian, and the mansion behind the forest outside the village is his 'old nest', then I think the answer should be yes, he must have raised evil here...

I had thoughts spinning in my mind... It seems that the reason why this Wanjin Mountain lives in such a remote and poor village is probably to raise evil spirits...

The middle-aged man finished drinking the water, wiped his mouth, and let out a long breath. Yuxin seemed to want to say something, I glanced at her, meaningfully, I'll ask him.

"Come on, big brother, smoke a cigarette."

I quietly took out a cigarette and handed it to the middle-aged man, lit one myself, took a slow puff, frowned and said, "As long as you go out of the village to do business, something will happen, how can you be so evil?" ”

"That is to say, alas," the middle-aged man sighed, "not only to go out to do business, but also to go out to work." ”

"Didn't you invite Mr. to come and show your village feng shui or something?"

"Why didn't I ask for it, I did, I couldn't see anything at all."

"Those who have been in a car accident, and those who have been robbed, are they okay?" I asked.

"It's just injuries, some are heavy, some are light."

"Didn't anyone die?" I wondered.

"No, what's wrong?"

"Huh? Oh, it's nothing, it's good that no one dies, since when did you start such an evil big brother? ”

"It's like...," the middle-aged man thought for a moment, "It's only been the last few years, but then again, no one in our village used to go out to buy and sell and work." ”

"Oh..."

I glanced out of the window, stretched, took out my phone and looked at the time, muttered, I don't know... Uncle Wan has not returned?

"Don't worry, sit down for a while, you'll have lunch soon, and if you can't come back, you can eat lunch at my place before leaving." The middle-aged man said.

"I'm so sorry, big brother..."

I'm really embarrassed, not polite.

"What's the matter, come to my house and be polite, your father is good friends with Wanjinshan, you are equivalent to Wanjinshan's relatives, that is, my relatives, you must eat the middle of the meal before leaving, sit in the house, I will kill the goose..."

Although my skin is thick enough, I can't help but feel a little hot when I hear the middle-aged man say this, we are not relatives of Wanjin Mountain at all... After the middle-aged man left, I looked at Yu Xin with tears and laughter, and Yu Xin bit her lip and glared at me.

"Other people's lives don't seem to be easy, I heard you say that you are a relative of Wanjin Mountain, killing geese to entertain you, and when the time comes, I will know that you are a fake and shoddy, I will see where to put your face..."Yu Xin whispered.

I 'hehe' and laughed.

"Still smiling, so thick-skinned..."Yu Xin pouted at me, and then said, "Ah Leng." ”

"Huh?"

Yu Xin rubbed her hair hanging down on her chest with her hands, and pondered, "You say, is there an evil spirit in this village?" ”

"I feel... There should be. ”

"So according to this, the reason why the villagers in this village were in a car accident and were robbed was because of evil spirits?"

I shook my head.

"How?" Yuxin looked at me.

"If you are evil and harmful, you will not be left alive, whether you have a car accident or be robbed, you will die, but the people in this village are not dead... Whether it's evil or not, in short, it must have something to do with the Ten Thousand Golden Mountain, looking at it like this, his purpose is to let all the villagers of this old village stay in the village, but I don't know why he did it..."

Yuxin and I whispered for a while, until we heard footsteps coming towards the house, and we both shut up.

"What's that..."The middle-aged man came to the door and wiped the sweat from his head, "I'm stewing the goose, you take care of the fire, I'll help you see if Wanjin Mountain has come back..."

Before I could speak, the middle-aged man turned around and left.

I smiled helplessly at Yuxin, "Let's go." ”

The middle-aged man's stove was small, low, and dark, and a large iron pot against the wall was steaming, filling the stove with the smell of goose meat mixed with mushrooms.

"Is this the bellows?" Yuxin pointed to the thing next to the stove.

"That's right."

"It's funny, I'll light the fire."

Yuxin smiled mischievously at me and sat down on the small stool with great interest.

"Hey, Miss, don't stuff so much firewood..."

"It's okay, the firewood is only prosperous..."

After Yuxin stuffed the bottom of the stove, she pulled the bellows violently, and the smoke jumped out from under the stove with a 'poof' in her face.

"Ahem... Ahem, ahem..."

"Stupid guy, how can you pull the bellows like that? It's not a fight, it didn't burn, did it..."

"Ahem... Smoked to the eyes... Woo..."

"I'll wipe it for you... Better, isn't it? ”

"It's so much better... You're still laughing! ”

As soon as Yu Xin raised her hand, she wiped a handful of ash on my face, and the two of them laughed and lit the fire. Not long after, the middle-aged man came back and told us that there was still no one at Na Wan Jinshan's house.

After the meat is stewed, it is put into a basin and brought to the table in the hall, and the middle-aged man takes out a jar of wine soaked in wolfberries and local medicinal herbs from the bottom of the bed. I'm hungry too, and I've long forgotten what it means to be embarrassed. Although the condiments are simple, but the goose raised by home, the wild mushrooms picked in the field, stewed together, the taste is quite good, the wine is not a good wine, but soaked for a long time, the color is slightly yellow, very fragrant and mellow.

After a long binge of eating and drinking, I hiccuped the sweat from my head and gave a cigarette to the middle-aged man.

"Big brother," I took a puff on my cigarette, "You say, where will Uncle Wan go?" ”

"I don't know about that."

"Did he go out a lot?"

"Well, I often go out, and our village doesn't have anything to do with him running outside to trade, originally, people made a fortune outside first, and then came back, and it is said that he is not from our village."

"What does he do, you know?"

"I don't know, huh? Didn't your father have been friends with him before, don't you know? ”

"Oh, hehe, I mean, what kind of business is he doing now, after all, he hasn't been in touch for so many years, hasn't he..."I hurriedly diverted the topic, "What, big brother, you Murakami, who is better than Uncle Wan, do you know?" ”

"It's better to compare... The village chief, the village chief seems to be quite close to him. ”

After inquiry, the middle-aged man said that he told us the location of the village chief's house.

After eating and drinking a few cups of tea, we got up to say goodbye, and the middle-aged man kept sending us out of the door, and said that if we couldn't find food in the evening, let us come back to his house.

The sky was overcast and terrible, the trees on both sides of the village road were swaying violently by the north wind, and the firewood was rattling.

"Ah Leng said, if there is evil in this village, where will it be?" Yuxin asked.

"It's hard to say."

"Shall we look for it?"

I looked left and right, shrunk my neck, and said with a wry smile, "It's too cold, and the village is so big, it's hard to find, so let's think...", "Don't be in a hurry to find the evil spirit, let's go to the village chief's house in this village to find out, and see if we can ask some details about this Wanjin Mountain from his mouth..."

Following the path that the middle-aged man had said, we went into a narrow and long alley, followed the alley to the west, came to another village road, turned south, and walked not far until a school appeared on the side of the road.

This is an elementary school, the area is not very large, it looks very new, looking through the iron door, the classroom is the kind of new floor roof bungalow. Nearly the end of the year, the school has long been closed, empty, very quiet. On the sign at the school gate, the four big characters of 'Jinshan Primary School' are scalded in gold letters.

Yu Xin pursed her lips, "The more people who are not good people, the more they like to engage in charity such as building schools, and spending money in exchange for word of mouth." ”

I smiled and said in my heart, if it is really charity, it will be okay, the reason why this mountain of gold ran back to this village has an ulterior purpose.

"Let's go." I waved.

"Ah Leng..."Walking on the road, Yu Xin called softly.

"Huh?"

"Go to the village chief's house, and say that we are relatives of Wanjin Mountain?"

I thought about it, nodded and said, "Well, it must be consistent with what we said in the man's house before, in short, act when the opportunity arises, you follow me obediently, it's better not to speak, leave everything to me." ”

"Alright, you cunning fellow..."

I smiled mysteriously at Yuxin.

After walking a little further, I pointed to the distance and said, "Look, the crooked neck jujube tree, it should be there, go." ”

When I came here, I saw the jujube tree leaning against the wall of a large mansion, yes, what the middle-aged man said should be here. This jujube tree should be quite old, and there are cracks in the tree. Taking a few steps back and looking at the house, it was better than the other buildings in the village, but not much better.

When I came to the door, I saw that the two doors were painted with black paint, and the color was dark, and I couldn't look at it coldly, like two large coffin boards.

I made a gesture to Yuxin and ordered her to stand behind me, and put my eyes on the crack of the door to look inside, only to see that the courtyard was deep and secluded, and there was no movement. I straightened up, steadied myself, raised my hand and was about to knock on the door, when I suddenly froze.

"What's wrong, A-Leng?" Yuxin asked.

I took a 'hiss' breath, turned my head to look at Yu Xin, and said in a low voice, "Do you feel that something is wrong..."

"Something is wrong." Yuxin was stunned for a moment, and then asked nervously, "Is there something unclean?" ”

"It's not." I shook my head, "It's not unclean, just now when I was about to knock on the door, I felt a 'chuckle' in my heart for some reason." ”

"Boom?" Yuxin frowned, "Don't you often grunt?" ”

"Silly girl." I smiled bitterly, "This 'gurgle' is not a frightened 'gurgle', it is the sixth sense of the magician, an indescribable sixth sense... Anyway, be careful, I feel like there's something wrong..."

As I spoke, I looked the door frame up and down, and felt for the gap on both sides of the door, but found nothing.

"No matter how much." I whispered to Yuxin, "Wait a minute, if the situation is not right, you can run by yourself, leave me alone..."

Yuxin was about to speak, but I made a silent gesture at her, turned around and raised my hand to knock on the door...
