Chapter 303: The Mysterious Village
As for the place that caused the massacre, it was not far from the county seat of Hengjiang, and Ye Ping also knew that a memorial hall had been built there, and the flow of people usually gathered, the worship incense was prosperous, and the aura was very condensed, and there were few evil things that haunted there, so he did not choose the place where the massacre was committed.

Driving along the road, Ye Ping roughly determined the location of the ancient battlefield where many battles had taken place in ancient times, and went straight there.
It took more than an hour to drive, and after walking a long and bumpy and difficult road, the front was blocked, Ye Ping had to get out of the car, but fortunately, he had a lot of strength, and dragged the car to a deserted mountain road that was difficult to travel for a long time, and finally arrived at the approximate location of the battlefield.
I saw that this place was very desolate and remote, almost no grass, and there was a village and town nearby that looked very dilapidated and dilapidated, as well as several mines that seemed to have been abandoned for a long time.
The sky had already begun to brighten, and at about seven o'clock in the morning, Ye Ping drove into this small village and town, and when he saw that the town was still inhabited, he was ready to find a store to get some hot food to eat.
However, after entering the village and town, not to mention the decline and decay of this village and town, Ye Ping could feel a strong aura of ancient meaning, and there was a large lantern with a special shape hanging in every house.
It was cold early in the morning, and not many people went out.
When Ye Ping parked the car in front of a small shop and got out of the car, those pedestrians couldn't help but look over, but those eyes looked very weird.
When Ye Ping noticed the eyes of those pedestrians, he couldn't help but feel a little uncomfortable.
It was not a look of hostility, nor of curiosity, but of indifference, of a cold, insensitive look.
After a quick glance, most of these people who went out early in the morning were over forty or fifty years old, and it was rare to see women and young people, or children who went out to school. (Baidu search update is the fastest and most stable)
walked to the door of the store, just in time for the shopkeeper to open the door, but the shopkeeper, who was about fifty years old, was looking at Ye Ping with the same indifferent expression.
The door opened. The old man ignored it and went into the shop.
Ye Ping became more and more curious about the strange atmosphere of this village and town, so he entered the small shop.
I saw that there were very few goods in the small shop, and they were all some daily necessities. Most of them were covered with dust, and I didn't see the boss to wipe them.
The only things that didn't see the dust were the paper, the yellow mounting, the banknotes, the incense candles, and the like, as well as a fierce god enshrined in the main hall of the store. A terrifying-looking idol.
"Boss, five buckets of instant noodles?"
Ye Ping looked into a small window in the back room of the store, and saw that there were some generals, soldiers, generals and other paper figures in the corner of the room, and the old man with white hair and an indifferent expression was sitting there pasting a newly made paper doll.
Hearing Ye Ping's voice, the old man put down the paper figure and walked out, took out a few bags of dusty convenience and put them on the counter, and said in a cold and hoarse voice. "Forty pieces!"
Ye Ping saw that the factory date on those instant noodles was almost expired, and he even sold them for eight yuan a barrel, but he didn't care about those, as long as he tore off the outer packaging and the inside was clean, he said again, "Do you have hot water here?"
"Ten pieces of hot water!"
The old man's voice has always been very indifferent, this is not like the performance of a businessman, after he received Ye Ping's fifty yuan, he entered the house and took out a boiling kettle with the bottom of the pot blackened by the fireworks, put it on the counter, and ignored people. Go back to the house and continue to be his paper figure.
Ye Ping tore all the packages of the four buckets of instant noodles, saw that the yellowed dough cake had not deteriorated, and there was no peculiar smell when he smelled it, so he put the seasoning on it. Pour boiling water and soak all four buckets of noodles.
It's just that in the process of making noodles, Ye Ping's keen intuition suddenly found that the heat in the four buckets of noodles jumped out quickly, and they all drifted towards the inner hall of the small shop, indicating that the aura here was not quite right.
He held the instant noodle in his hand and opened it. I saw that the bread inside had not yet been completely soaked, and the soup was already cold, and there was only a little residual warmth left.
Looking at the boiling kettle again, even if the lid is opened, the water inside is still hot, and the hot air comes out but does not rush out quickly.
This scene was very weird, Ye Ping picked up the bucket noodles and tasted it, but he couldn't help but vomit it immediately, his face changed greatly, and he looked at the indifferent old man in the room and said in a deep voice, "Old man, do you dare to fool the living with these sacrifices that have been sacrificed to the dead and eaten alive?"
After hearing this, the old man who was pasting paper inside couldn't help but change his face greatly, after his hand shook, one of the paper man's arms was torn off by him, and when the old man saw it, his face became even more gloomy, and even looked a little pale, and he couldn't help yelling at Ye Ping, "You get out of here, never come again!"
Hearing the old man's angry roar, Ye Ping was very surprised.
The indifference of this old man before, without any emotional color, made him think that this was a wooden man, and he didn't expect that this old man would also have angry emotions, which shows that he is still a normal person.
However, Ye Ping tasted that there was a mixture of anger in the instant noodles, and he deliberately said these words to stimulate the old man to see how he reacted.
I didn't expect this old man to have such a big reaction.
Then this shows that there must be something strange in this village and town, and there must be a lot of evil things entrenched, which will cause such a big emotion of this old man.
And in this world, the general sacrifice is just a psychological comfort, do people really think that the dead who sacrifice can't eat it?
However, when he said this, the old man really believed it, and he was angry with Ye Ping, which had to make him feel curious.
Could it be that the people of this village really believe in these things?
The old man's voice was a little loud, as if it had attracted the attention of passers-by outside.
At this time, a short, tattered, bearded old man entered the store and said, "Old Wei, what's wrong with you, making such a big fire, bring me cigarettes?"
As he spoke, the short old man looked at Ye Ping, and saw that the four buckets of instant noodles on the counter were cold and had not been moved, so he couldn't help swallowing his saliva, he hadn't eaten breakfast yet.
Ye Ping noticed that the expression of this short old man did not seem to be as indifferent and ruthless as others, almost numb as a corpse, and when his eyes rolled, he was still a little cunning, so he said, "I haven't touched these instant noodles, and I don't plan to eat them, if you dare to eat them, just do it!"
When the short old man heard this, he was not polite, so he immediately picked up a bowl and was about to eat it.
But Lao Wei of the store suddenly came out to stop him, "Lao Zeng, that noodle can't be eaten!"
"Why can't you eat it, could it be that even this instant noodle has been touched by the old ghost?" said the short old man, looking very puzzled.
Ye Ping quickly heard some clues from the short old man's casual words, but he didn't move.
I saw that Lao Wei came over, took all the instant noodles on the counter and poured them down, and then took out fifty yuan and returned it to Ye Ping, and said coldly, "Get out of here immediately, the farther you go, the better, outsiders are not welcome here!" )xh118
