Chapter Twenty-Five: The Lord of the Land

The people who entered the mountain this time, in addition to me and Ma Yiao, also included Li An'an, Ma Sifan, Ma Xiaolong, as well as Miao Nu An Li, and her entourage Amu.

As for Ma Xiaofeng, she stayed on the side of Yashan, one to take care of the family's business, and the other to help me keep an eye on Suzaku's news.

Once Suzaku returns, keep her immediately.

Before leaving, Ma Xiaolong also chatted with the buddy of the criminal police team and talked about it, because it is not a jurisdiction, so he has no choice, but he still gave Ma Xiaolong a phone call, saying that if he gets to Wuzhi Mountain, he can call one of his classmates, if necessary, he should be able to help.

Rushing to Wuzhishan City by car, in the city, Ma Xiaolong contacted a business partner, also from the Northeast, and asked him to help find a guide to the northern part of Wuzhishan.

After hearing Ma Xiaolong's request, he took advantage of the stall to eat, called and shook people, and after a while, he called three local people who were very familiar with the area of Wuzhi Mountain, all of whom were cattle people who went up the mountain to hunt and swim down the mountain.

Two of the three had been there recently, and told us that the "leprosy" had been making the mountain road full of traps for more than a year, and that if they were not careful, they would fall into the pit, or die on the spot, or if they didn't, they would be boiled alive by the insects.

They didn't deal with it, and they got a foul smell everywhere, and there were inexplicably more insects and snakes, which made the entire mountainous area a forbidden area.

There are also legends that there are masters there, who arranged a formation and turned the surrounding into a labyrinth.

Anyway, it's wicked.

It's been more than a year, except for the last time when people from the Civil Affairs Bureau brought the police, no one has ever been there, and the people from the leprosy village have not come out, which is equivalent to being isolated from the world.

But it didn't come out, but it was still active in that area, and some people had seen several leprosy who looked like evil ghosts hunting in the mountains, and one of them knew him, and he had drunk alcohol before, but when he met, he found that the person had completely changed, not only did he look like a ghost, but he also had a cold personality, which was not at all like before.

Now that area is like a forbidden place, ordinary people dare not go there.

This is because I am afraid of being infected with leprosy germs, and I am also infected with this disease, and secondly, because the human nature there is really cold, and I look at you coldly, and I can't sleep all night.

As soon as I close my eyes, I can't help but have nightmares.

We asked the locals, "Is it the same in the past?"

One of them replied, saying how so? It wasn't like this before, the place was partial, located on the ridge, and the traffic was inconvenient, so it was very poor, but it was very kind.

He also knows a hunter, who hunts rabbits on weekdays, mountain goods or something, and comes down the mountain to catch the market, because they are all peers, so the two have some common language, and later they became friends, and they drank together to fight a tie, and they were very simple, God knows what happened to them, and suddenly it became like this.

And that place is poor, but I have never heard of leprosy or anything.

I don't know how I got it.

Another person suddenly interjected and said, "If you want to go to that hellish place, we can't follow it, but I can recommend someone ......"

Ma Xiaolong came to be interested, who did he say?

The man said: "When Jinglong Village was not a leprosy village, there were exchanges with the outside world, and some people came out to work to earn money; There is a tea house in the east of the city, and a guy in it is called Xiaolou, his family is from Jinglong Village, if you want to know about it, you can ask him. ”

Ma Xiaolong hurriedly said: "Then you go and call, let's ask." ”

Ma Xiaolong's buddy also urged, saying you go and call it.

He gave the money, the other party did not delay, rode a motorcycle to call someone, not long after, people brought over, a thin and black young man, looking at the age of twenty, saw a box full of people, a little stage fright, dare not look up at everyone.

Ma Xiaolong saw the other party and asked with a pleasant face, saying that I heard that you are from Jinglong Village?

The man nodded and said yes, but we are not a big village, we are a brigade, a natural village.

Ma Xiaolong asked, "How long have you been out?" ”

Xiao Lou said: "It's been three years. ”

Ma Xiaolong asked, "Then how long has it been since you went home?" ”

Xiaolou said: "A year and a half...... Ah, a year ......"

Seeing that he was speaking slurredly, Ma Xiaolong asked, "How long has it been?" ”

The young man finally reacted at this time, and he strengthened his courage and said, "Who are you, why should I tell you?" ”

He looked at the guide who brought him here, and wanted to leave a little, but the guide said: "Xiaolou, didn't I tell you on the road, the people here are all big bosses, and people will not treat you badly when they ask you questions......

Ma Xiaolong nodded, and said yes, we want to go to Jinglong Village, but we don't know the situation, if you can talk to us about the current situation inside, or take us in, I will pay you.

The young man's breathing became rapid, and he looked at Ma Xiaolong eagerly, saying how much money?

Ma Xiaolong looked at him and said How much do you want?

The young man thought for a while, stretched out two fingers, and said that there are many people who dare not go to that place, and they don't know what the situation is, you want to know, what's the matter, you have to ...... Two thousand, right?

When he said the final price, he hesitated, and after speaking, he looked at Ma Xiaolong with a little weakness.

Ma Xiaolong squinted at this tea house guy for a while, and then said, "Yes, no problem, and if you are willing to take us over, I will add a little to you, 10,000 yuan, how about it?" ”

10,000 yuan?

This price is like a hammer, hitting the young man's heart hard, as the so-called "money can make the ghost grind", he gritted his teeth and said okay, I will go to ask our boss for leave now.

Ma Xiaolong glanced at the guide, and the guide said, "I'll just call your boss, saying that Brother Bin is looking for your help." ”

Brother Bin, that is, Ma Xiaolong's buddy, he is quite big in this area, he is a big brother in society, and many people who do business know it, Xiaolou heard it, nodded, and said okay.

With the guide out of the way, the next step is to understand.

After Xiaolou received a deposit of 2,000 yuan, he gave us an explanation.

He said that the reason why Jinglong Village has become what it is now is because it has attracted a land lord.

Yes, we heard it right, it's the land lord.

What is the name of that person, no one knows, he claims to be the "land master", and then with the help of burning talisman water to cure several old diseases, and help with farm work, although the simple and kind mountain people do not believe it, but still like this man.

Unexpectedly, not long after, when everyone became sick and grew leprosy, I realized that what this land lord brought was not the hope of life, but destruction.

However, the land lord who looks like a normal person told everyone that God had sent a punishment and that they were disobedient.

As long as you listen to the words of the land lord, this disease can be cured.

Then the people in the village began to do things with the land lord, and he had to do whatever he told him to do, but the people who followed the cattle would be punished, either by constantly doing farm work, or by corporal punishment, and even some people were killed.

Under the control of violence, everyone dared to be angry and did not dare to speak, and at this time, the land lord began to show kindness again, and taught some followers how to fight.

Those people are becoming more and more powerful, just like the legendary heroes who come and go.

The people in the village were originally superstitious, so they began to believe in him.

Xiaolou returned home two months after the man came, and his parents took advantage of the land lord to take the young people in the village up the mountain, and after explaining the reason, they drove him down the mountain, so that he would never go home for the rest of his life.

The place where they had lived for generations had been ruined and could never go back......

After listening to Xiaolou's story, we were all stunned.

If it weren't for the Hengtang Old Demon's martial arts competition and the Hainan Guanyin Festival, I would have seen Yue Zhuangshi, I would have even thought that the guy who called himself the "Land Master" was this person.

In fact, whether it is the "Mountain God Lord" or the "Land Lord", the methods of these people to fool the people are exactly the same.

And from this point of view, the guy who did evil in the leprosy village must also be a cultivator.

Even Nightkin

This guy really isn't a good thing.

Someone asked, saying that the guy is doing such a bad thing, didn't the local government take care of it?

Those who say this probably don't know much about the mountainous terrain of the south-central part of Hainan Island, and they don't know what it was like to be in that kind of remote and dilapidated place about 2,000 years ago.

In fact, more than a decade later, women were abducted and trafficked in many mountainous areas, and the local government knew about it, but it probably had no intention of taking care of it.

The legal system requires a process, and it is not achieved overnight, but step by step.

After we understood, we decided not to rest and rushed straight into the mountain.

We drove to the nearest village to the foot of the mountain, and then stepped into the tropical jungle and began to climb the mountains.

The mountain road was difficult, and after a while, night fell.

We hurried in the dark, and walked for another two hours, ready to find a place to rest, after all, someone said before that the road to the leprosy village was full of traps for hunting animals.

We found a place to set up camp, lit a bonfire, and began to keep vigil on a rotational basis, but in the middle of the night I suddenly woke up and heard a scream not far away.

When I came to my senses, I felt that the cry was very familiar, and I tried to remember it for a while, and finally remembered it.

That voice is very similar to Ma Qi.

Ma Qi, who left with Tang Dao.
