Chapter 205: An Unusual Village
Who admitted, I puffed out my cheeks. Jiang Wan looked at me helplessly and smiled again, "It seems that I have to tie you up in the future, don't always sleepwalk and run out when you have nothing to do." ”
I thought, I yawned, I was really sleepy, and then I fell asleep directly on him.
Because I sleepwalked the night before, I couldn't get up the next morning, and I was packed and carried into the car by Jiang Wan early in the morning, I was woken up by the bumps in the car, and I looked out the window in a daze, and found that there were mountains all around, and yawned.
"Have you arrived?" I rubbed my eyes and asked casually.
"Not yet." Jiang Wan sat next to me and rubbed my head, "You can sleep a little longer." ”
I shook my head, how could I sleep like this? "Don't sleep, it's almost there."
Jiang Wan took two bags from his side, "Then let's eat something, I haven't eaten much since a few days ago." ”
Looking at the buns that were still warm in the bag, I really didn't have any appetite at all. "Wait a minute."
"Don't wait a while," Jiang Wan stuffed breakfast into my hand, "Even if you don't eat, drink some porridge." ”
"Eating in the car will cause motion sickness." I shook my head, didn't throw my breakfast over, and carried it in my hand, Ke Ke, who had been nesting in his lap, smelled the fragrance, and stretched out his little head and came over. I reached out and slapped it, and if I ate it again, I was really fat.
Ke Ke looked at me aggrievedly and shrank back.
"Okay, then wait until you get out of the car and eat." Jiang Wan took the breakfast back.
I now feel that Jiang Wan is really becoming more and more like a nanny.
The taxi can't get into the village, can only stop on the side of the road, fortunately, the rest of the road is not far, after getting off the car, I looked at the environment of the village, and also saw the familiar scenery, in the dream of the dragon trapped in the shallow place can see a small piece in the distance, although not very carefully, but there is a huge old tree next to me I recognize very clearly.
Yes, yes, here. I nodded at Bai Qi. Bai Qi also responded. "Let's go."
Walking along the country road, until I entered the village, I realized that something was wrong, it was supposed to be the time to be busy with farming, but there was no one in sight in the village, the doors of every house were locked, and some of the walls had even collapsed halfway, it seemed that no one had lived in it for a long time, and I looked through the collapsed wall inside, it was also overgrown with weeds, and there was no popularity at all. It has been deserted for a long time, and such a house is not this one in this village.
I finally found a house that is not so shabby, but the door is still locked, I went directly into the wall, it looks like no one has lived in it for a long time, but it is still intact, except for the tightening of the door, even the door is locked tightly. I peeked through the window, and the furniture was fine, but there was still no one. The locks are rusty, and it looks like they've been gone for a long time.
I climbed over the wall and patted the dirt on my hands, "No one." It looks like no one has lived in it for a long time. I said truthfully.
"There's something wrong with this village." Cen Hao came back from exploring the road from the front, and also said, "I can't see a person, it seems that it is already a deserted village." ”
"How so?" Bai Qi frowned. "What about them?"
"I don't know." Cen Hao shook his head.
While we were struggling, I suddenly saw a head poking out of the grass in the corner, it was a child, and I waved at him, "Hey, kid, come here." ”
Who knew that he saw that he was discovered, turned around and ran, Ke Ke's speed was faster, a jump shortcut stopped him, hunched his waist, "meow~" screamed, the child just wanted to step forward and kick Ke Ke away, Ke Ke dodged away, his tail split into two, his figure became bigger and bigger, and he directly became the size of a lion, looking at the child viciously.
"Ah~" The child screamed and immediately fell to the ground. We also chased after us.
I was also shocked when I saw Ke Ke like this, I didn't think Ke Ke could still transform. "Keko, come back." As soon as I stretched out my hand, Ke Ke paced, and then lunged at me, and the figure became smaller and smaller, and when it came to my arms, it was back into a little milk cat.
Cen Hao stepped forward and lifted the kid up, "I said, boy, what are you running, we are not big tigers, we will not eat you." ”
"Are you here for the dragon god's bones?" The child's eyes were grim and he asked, "You strangers are not good people, you are all here to dig up the bones of the dragon god." I'm not going to tell you where the dragon god's bones are. ”
We glanced at it, the skeleton of the dragon god was probably what we were looking for, "Cen Hao, put him down." Bai Qi shouted, then stepped forward and took out his documents, "Little friend, you don't have to be afraid, my uncle is a policeman, I just want to ask some questions, and it won't hurt you." ”
The child looked at Bai Qi's ID and then at us, "You are the police?" What are the police doing with us? ”
"It's to investigate a case," Bai Qi replied with a smile, "Can you tell us why there is no one in the village?" ”
The child paused, then turned around, "Come with me." Then he led the way.
We followed, and I pulled Jiang Wan's arm, "Did you notice something wrong with this kid?" ”
"No," Jiang Wan shook her head, "What?" Do you doubt him? ”
"There is no one in this village, not even an adult, where did this child come from?" I frowned and whispered in response.
"There may be people, but we just didn't find it." Jiang Wan replied, "Let's wait and see what happens, let's see first." ”
The child took us all the way to the easternmost house, although the house is made of stone grass houses, but it is still clean, only to find that there are still people in this village, only a few people.
We went into the house with the child still there, and there was an old woman in her fifties, who could no longer straighten her waist, and was bending over to cook.
"Grandma." The child immediately pounced.
"I'm back," the old man smiled as he hugged his grandson, looked at us again, and his face changed, "There are guests." ”
"Hello," the four of us said at once, "we're here to investigate something." ”
"Come in and sit down," the old man beckoned to us, then turned around, "I'll pour water, Peng Peng, you take care of the pot." ”
Bai Qi immediately stopped the old man, "No need, your legs and feet are inconvenient, don't be busy, we'll leave after asking." ”
The old man looked at us and smiled, "Okay, let's talk about it here, it's still warm, just ask if you have anything." ”
The boy brought us a few benches, some of which were just made of tree stumps, and we could see how difficult their lives were, "Let's ask next, why is there no one in this village?" How many of you are left? When we came here just now, all we saw were ruins or something, what's going on? Bai Qi asked first.
The old man sat there and added firewood, and sighed, "It's all evil, they all angered the dragon god and were taken away by the dragon god." Some of the young people also left, and the village was poor and looked for another way out. ”
"Dragon God?" I frowned, "I've been listening to your little grandson talk about the dragon god just now, is the dragon god you are talking about, is it the dragon that fell in the village fifty years ago?" ”
The old man suddenly had some eyes dodging, "What are you asking for?" Are you here to dig up the bones of the dragon god and take them to the exhibition? I tell you, this will anger the dragon god and bring calamity. ”
"So all the people in your village are so angry with the dragon god that they brought about the calamity?" I asked, "Or did you do something else?" ”
The old man's face changed, "I don't understand what you're saying, so please leave if there's nothing to do." ”
"I'm sorry, our children are a little too impulsive," Jiang Wan hurriedly smiled, "We didn't want to steal the keel, we just wanted to know about the incident fifty years ago, it was Professor Zhang Yichuan who asked us to come, our child is a student of Professor Zhang Yichuan, and after listening to the story he said, he was very interested, so he came to ask." ”
"Zhang Yichuan?" The old man paused for a moment and thought hard, "What you said, isn't that Xiaochuan?" It's been more than 40 years, and he hasn't come back since he left the village, and now he is a professor outside, which is really not easy. "Speaking of the professor, the old man's attitude is much better, with a little nostalgia." It's a pity that Xiaochuan's parents and family also passed away because of the dragon god's anger. When he left, he didn't take anything with him, just a large package and a few clothes. ”
I glanced at Jiang Wan, a big package, which was probably the keel. "Did Professor Zhang's family, as well as other people in the village, also die because of stealing dragon bones?"
The old man paused and waved his hand, "How many years ago, I don't remember, I don't remember." ”
"Just now I saw that most of the people in the village are middle-aged women and children, and there are very few men, are the people who saw the dragon trapped shoal back then, as well as their family descendants, all dead?" I guessed.
The old man's face changed, "They deserve it." ”
I frowned, sure enough, there was a problem, "What the professor told me is that the dragon was seriously injured when he was trapped in the shallows, and the whole village rescued him together, and even left people to keep vigil at night, but the dragon was seriously injured and did not survive, so he died like this, and turned into white bones overnight. ”
The old lady's face became more and more pale, "Evil, it's all evil." ”
"Old man, can you take us to the place where the dragon is buried?" Jiang Wan proposed.
Before the kid could open his mouth and shout angrily, I suddenly began to feel uncomfortable again, and there was an unspeakable sharp pain in my chest, as if my heart was about to come out, I clutched my chest and leaned against Jiang Wan and fell down, "Ah...... It hurts! ”
