Chapter 33: A Strange Village
Xiao Yao and Yang Yichen were both full of doubts, how could it be possible that there was no place, that house looked very big, and I didn't hear the voices of many people just now.
In addition, Xiao Yao used his spiritual sense to probe and found that there were only three people in this family.
There was no way, the family didn't let them live, and they had to find another place.
Xiao Yao and Yang Yichen knocked on the doors of other homes again, and all they got were answers.
In the end, it seemed that they were unwilling to deal with them at all, and no one came to open the door for Xiao Yao and Yang Yichen.
Xiao Yao and Yang Yichen could only find a place to rest outside.
Yang Yichen asked Xiao Yao curiously: "Boss, why don't they open the door for us?"
Xiao Yao shook his head: "I don't know, maybe there are any rules here, for example, as soon as it gets dark, you can't let people into the house anymore." ”
In this way, Xiao Yao and Yang Yichen could only find a place to sleep outside.
The next day, when Xiao Yao and Yang Yichen were sleeping, a large group of people surrounded them and tied them up without saying a word.
Xiao Yao and Yang Yichen were sleeping in a daze, and they were taken to a place like an ancestral hall.
An old man who looked like the village chief looked at them with angry eyes.
Xiao Yao was also stared at by him and said, "Eh, do you have anything to do with us?"
Before Xiao Yao's words could be finished, a big man said: "The village chief is the one who knocked on our door yesterday, they should be the murderers, let's kill them directly!"
As soon as Xiao Yao heard it, what was going to kill him, his brain was dead.
Yang Yichen asked on the side: "Why did you kill us, we just got here yesterday and didn't do anything!"
As soon as Yang Yichen finished speaking, one of the villagers roared angrily: "What didn't you do, yesterday you were outside our house, and our daughter died that night, and you didn't do it!"
The village chief finally spoke: "Who are you and why are you in our village?"
"We are just two immortal cultivators, and we came to this village for the sake of cultivation. ”
Xiao Yao replied seriously, he still didn't say that the two of them came here to escape the pursuit.
The other villagers were shocked when they heard that Xiao Yao was a monk.
"What they are immortals, maybe they really didn't do it. ”
"What are you talking nonsense, don't you know that some immortal cultivators specialize in absorbing the flesh and blood of mortals?"
Suddenly, there was such a voice in the ancestral hall.
Xiao Yao also heard their conversation and knew that something strange should be happening in this village: "I said everyone be quiet first, if something strange happens here, we are willing to help." ”
The people in the ancestral hall all quieted down when they heard that Xiao Yao and Yang Yichen were going to help.
The village chief looked at Xiao Yao and Yang Yichen for a long time and said, "Since you are immortals, why are you tied up by a few of us mortals?"
Before the village chief's words were finished, Xiao Yao and Yang Yichen had already broken the rope tied to them.
Seeing that Xiao Yao and Yang Yichen easily broke the rope with the thickness of their thumbs, the old village chief nodded, turned his head and said, "Come with me." ”
Xiao Yao and Yang Yichen followed the old village chief into a small courtyard, which was not much different from the courtyard of ordinary people.
It's just that when Xiao Yao walked in, he found that there were chicken coops and pigsty in this courtyard, but there was not a single poultry in it.
Xiao Yao and the old village chief walked into the house, and the old village chief knelt down for Xiao Yao and them at once: "It's really disrespectful to offend the two immortals just now, and I ask the two immortals for forgiveness." ”
Xiao Yao hurriedly picked up the village chief and asked, "Hurry up, we said we would definitely help if we wanted to help, can you tell us what happened here before, why were the people here so afraid of us before?"
Why is Xiao Yao so concerned?
Of course, that was the task given to him by Shangguan Yunyan, otherwise Xiao Yao and Yang Yichen would have run away when they shook off the rope, and they would have to talk nonsense with the old man in front of them here!
The old village chief was helped up by Xiao Yao and then lit a bag of cigarettes.
Xiao Yao saw that the old man was smoking, and he also committed a cigarette addiction, so he also lit one for himself, and then the old village chief began to promise what happened in this village.
"Before, our village was still very good, the people in the village had food when they were hungry, and everyone lived such a plain life, and a strange thing happened in the village half a year ago. At first, there were only livestock dying in the village, and we didn't take it too seriously, at first it was just a few deaths, but later the people in the village found out that something was wrong, and thought it was a plague, until all the livestock in the village died. ”
The village chief took a deep puff of cigarette, as if to calm his mood, and continued: "After all the livestock are dead, people will begin to die in the village, and those people will die as if someone has dug out all their internal organs. Some of them became frightened and began to leave the village, but within a few days their bodies appeared in the village, dead as before. ”
The village chief and the old man said, and Xiao Yao interjected: "Just like this, the village is getting more and more chaotic, and then no one dares to come out every night, we knocked on the door yesterday, and you still think we are bad people?"
The village elder nodded: "Yes, I still hope for the two Haihan." ”
At this time, Xiao Yao already had a plan in his heart, so he said to the village elder: "We are roughly clear about the specific things, but we are not familiar with this place when we first arrived, can you take us to the house of the deceased to see the deceased?"
The village elder bowed his hand: "I'm old or don't go, I can't get used to that kind of bloody scene, just let my son go." ”
After speaking, the village elder walked into another room, and it didn't take long for the village elder to walk out with a young man in his thirties with a dark complexion.
The village elder said a few words to the young man, and then walked up to Xiao Yao and Yang Yichen, and said reluctantly, "Come with me." ”
This young man's name is Wu Xuegang, the son of the village chief, and he has not married a daughter-in-law at the age of five Chinese New Year's Eve today.
Yang Yichen whispered to Xiao Yao in the back: "I said boss, he doesn't seem to welcome us much." ”
Xiao Yao looked around: "It seems that he is not the only one who does not welcome us. ”
Yang Yichen turned his head to look over and found that the doors of the people they walked past were all locked, and the people on the street saw them as if they were hiding from the plague.
Yang Yichen couldn't help but ask Xiao Yao curiously: "I said boss, why do you want to help them?"
In fact, Xiao Yao didn't want to, but Shangguan Yunyan could say it this time, if he didn't accept it, he would directly erase himself.
Xiao Yao is still a virgin, and he finally arrived in a different world where beautiful women are in the clouds, if he dies like this, thanks to it!
Xiao Yao said to Yang Yichen very against his will: "Aren't we immortal cultivators just want to punish evil and promote good, and protect the people of Dawn!"
Yang Yichen glanced at Xiao Yao: "Boss, don't I know what virtues you have?
Just when Xiao Yao and Yang Yichen were arguing, Wu Xuegang, who was leading the way in front, suddenly stopped: "The two immortals have arrived. ”
He pointed to an old house that looked like it was about to collapse and said: "This is the house of the dead man yesterday, the owner of this house is called Zhou He, yesterday his daughter Zhou Liyu died, and now he is left with a lonely old man." ”
Xiao Yao nodded, and then walked in with Wu Xuegang, Xiao Yao and Wu Xuegang walked in, and saw the old man who was angrily scolding them in the ancestral hall just now, who was banging in the courtyard, I don't know what to do?
Wu Xuegang walked to Zhou He's side: "Uncle Zhou, the two immortals want to see you." ”
Zhou He, who didn't know what to do, didn't raise his head and said, "I'm not free! I still have to tie my daughter's coffin today, and I'm going to bury it when I turn around!"
Xiao Yao heard Zhou He say this, and directly picked up a hammer on the ground, sat opposite Zhou He, and beat with him, Yang Yichen said to Zhou He: "I said uncle, we just want to ask you some clues, so if you say something, we will give you a coffin like this?"
Saying that, Yang Yichen pointed his fingers and directly made a coffin in the air with condensation and placed it in front of Zhou He.
Zhou He's head still didn't move, and he was still beating seriously, but Wu Xuegang, who was beside Yang Yichen, was so shocked by Yang Yichen's hand that his eyes were about to pop out.
Xiao Yao raised his head and glanced at Yang Yichen, and then said to Wu Xuegang: "Uncle Wu, go back first, we all remember the way." Go back and wait for us to help Uncle Zhou finish the coffin and go back. ”
Wu Xuegang didn't say anything and turned his head to go back, and there were still Xiao Yao who was helping Zhou He make a coffin and Yang Yichen who was standing stupidly in place, Yang Yichen stood for a while and found that he didn't look very suitable like this, so he began to help Zhou He make a coffin with Xiao Yao.
The three of them were busy until the afternoon, in fact, because Xiao Yao and Yang Yichen didn't know how to make a coffin at all, many nails were nailed wrong, or they just couldn't grasp the strength and broke the wood directly.
After the coffin was finished, Zhou He sat aside and began to rest.
In fact, this bit of work is nothing to Xiao Yao, if they want to, it is nothing if they don't sleep for a few days and nights.
Xiao Yao lit a cigarette for Zhou He: "Uncle, try this." ”
Zhou He took the cigarette handed over by Xiao Yao and took a puff.
Xiao Yao lit a cigarette for himself and said, "Can you tell me if you noticed anything wrong just last night?"
Although Zhou He took the cigarette handed over by Xiao Yao, he still didn't give Xiao Yao a good look, but this time he said slowly: "What kind of tobacco is this? ”
Xiao Yao understood as soon as he heard it, and directly bought a piece of China from Shangguan Yunyan and handed it to Zhou He.
Zhou He took the cigarette given by Xiao Yao, then took a puff of the cigarette in his hand, and said slowly: "When you came to knock on the door last night, she was fine, before she went out and told you that there was no place to live at home, and then we slept not long after you left, and we didn't find anything wrong." ”
