Chapter 47: The Legend of Jueshan

Sitting in the living room of the village chief's house, the village chief told Li Xuyang and the three about the past about Hu Zhai decades ago. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

The village chief is now the oldest person in the village, and he naturally knows the most about the past, the village chief's name is Hu Laoba, and his son goes out to work, and he will only go home once a year at the end of the year. His wife also passed away last year, and now he is the only one living in the family.

His son wanted to take him to live in the city, but Hu Laoba didn't want to go to the city. I have been living in Huzhai for most of my life, and since I was born here, of course, my final destination is also here.

There is another reason, that is, I am the village chief here, if everyone who was the village chief has left here, then what village chief is I worthy of?

He can give up the city life he longed for when he was young, but now he can't give up this Huzhai with whom he has been in a relationship for more than 60 years.

"Although the population of our village is small, it is very harmonious, and even at night, the gate does not need to be locked. Hu Laoba took out his cigarette pouch, took a hard puff, and then said.

"That's great, if the whole world is like that, then society will be beautiful. Jiang Botong nodded and said.

"Haha, I'm just a small village head, I don't have any real power, and it's our village that can be managed. As for the outside world, I can't interfere, and of course I don't have the right to interfere, there are people who are more powerful than me. Hu Laoba smiled.

"Master Hu, do you know this Jueshan?" Li Xuyang saw that Hu Laoba had been talking about their village, but he didn't say a word about the Jueshan not far behind the village, so he asked curiously.

"Jueshan?" Hearing this name, Hu Laoba's face changed slightly, but he quickly adjusted again, and replied, "I don't know much about Jueshan. ā€

"Can you tell us about it?" Li Xuyang continued.

"Hmm. Hu Laoba nodded, then poured out the ashes in the cigarette pouch, replaced them with new tobacco shreds, lit them and took a puff before saying slowly.

"Jueshan used to be Jiaoshan, because Jue and Jiao are homophonic, so the word Jue was gradually used. There are no precious plants, no precious medicinal herbs or protected animals on the mountain, and all the mountains have become useless barren mountains. Hu Laoba said this, picked up the teacup on the table and took a sip, and then continued.

"The history of this mountain is very old, and it is said that people entered it more than 100 years ago, but it seems that they all died somewhere, and no one is coming back. There are many rumors about how he died, and some people say that they met the mountain god, and they were left behind by the mountain god. Others say that they met animals such as jackals, tigers and leopards, and were eaten by animals, etc.

However, in recent years, many people have also come to the mountain. If they want to go to Jueshan, the only way will be to pass through our Huzhai, but there are several waves of people who go, each wave is seven or eight people, but only three or four people come back. We don't know where the rest of the people went, but they came back from the mountains at night and left in a hurry as soon as they returned.

For the safety of the villagers, I ordered that no one should enter the mountain again. Because I can feel that there is something terrible in the back mountain, but I don't know what. ā€

When Hu Laoba said this, the expression on his face changed again and again, as if he had witnessed how those who disappeared disappeared. First fear, then back to normal, then fear.

Hearing this, Li Xuyang looked at Jiang Botong, but happened to see that he was also looking at himself. The two seemed to understand something, and they seemed to know how those people disappeared with eye contact.

Through the information provided by Liu Fei, the soul immortal seal was opened, and the zombies in the ancient tomb of the human figurines were resurrected. And those who disappeared, perhaps because of this, disappeared, they did not meet the mountain god, nor did they meet the tiger and leopard, but were eaten by zombies.

"You're not going to Jueshan, are you?" asked Hu Laoba as if he had just woken up from a dream.

"Exactly. Li Xuyang nodded and replied truthfully. He didn't want to lie to Hu Baye, because he was very kind and a good person, so he would say it directly.

"No, no. Hearing Li Xuyang's affirmative answer, Hu Laoba hurriedly waved his hand at him to stop them from going.

"Why, you're also worried that something will happen to us?" Jiang Botong asked.

"Yes. Hu Laoba put down his hand, and the cigarette pouch was also placed on the table, looking very nervous.

"Don't worry, brother, we're different from those people, we'll be fine. Jiang Botong smiled and said.

"Oh?" Hu Laoba looked at Jiang Botong puzzled, not understanding what he meant by "different from those people".

"The people you're talking about are either grave robbers or bad people. That's why they went, and something happened. And we're good people, so we'll be fine. Jiang Botong played haha, hurt others, and praised himself.

"Alas, that's fine!" Hu Laoba saw that he couldn't persuade them, so he didn't persuade them, but continued, "When I was young, my father repeatedly warned me not to go near the back mountain. Because there will be a strange roar at night in the back mountain, and the cry is very terrifying, but not many people know about it. No one in our village knew about it. ā€

"Strange scream?" Li Xuyang was a little puzzled, what could this cry come from? Probably not, because no one else in the ancient tomb of the Jueshan figurines came out except for Lu Su. That Wang Chengxin or several of his subordinates all died in the ancient tomb, so the only ones who are unique are zombies.

But when Hu Laoba just talked about Jueshan, he didn't mention the word zombie, which proves that the zombie did not come out of the ancient tomb, or was still on the mountain, but this is even more strange, what will the sound come from?

More and more puzzled, which made Li Xuyang even more curious, and wanted to go to Jueshan now to find out. Look at the legendary mountain god, or go and hear the strange sound with your own ears.

"Okay, that's all I know, let's rest early!" Hu Laoba stood up and said.

"Good. After Li Xuyang finished speaking, he also got up and watched Hu Laoba leave, and the three of them also went to their respective rooms.

There are many rooms in Hu Laoba's house, and when you walk out of the living room, you will go straight to the main room. On both sides are side rooms, and there are eight side rooms alone.

Every room is very clean, and it can be seen that Hu Laoba is a person who loves cleanliness. Now he is the only one left in the whole family, and it is estimated that he has nothing to do except go out to play chess with other people or sit on the stone pier to chat, and clean up these uninhabited rooms at home.

Each room is a table, a bed and a chair. There was a quilt on the bed, covered with a new one, as if it had been made new.

After coming to the side room, Li Xuyang watched Hu Laoba walk into the main room, and Wu Qin also walked into another side room, Jiang Botong also walked into the room next to Wu Qin, and when the door of his room was about to close, Li Xuyang also walked in.

"What's wrong?" Seeing Li Xuyang coming in, Jiang Botong knew that there must be something important to say.

"Sit down and say. Li Xuyang sat on the edge of the bed, and then said, "Do you feel that something is wrong?"

"What's wrong?" Jiang Botong didn't turn on the light, just looked at Li Xuyang's face through the moonlight and asked.

"There is something wrong with Hu Laoba, he must know something, but he didn't explain it directly. Maybe it's a deliberate concealment from us, or maybe it's something else. Li Xuyang said.

"If you think about it, there's something wrong with him. Especially when talking about Jueshan, his performance was too abnormal. If there were really several groups of people who went to Jueshan before us, then they must have asked about Jueshan and not the surprise they showed at the beginning. It should have been expected a long time ago, and we would have asked like this. Jiang Botong said analytically with his chin in his hands.

"That's right, when he first told the story of their village, it was probably an introduction. He deliberately didn't talk about Jueshan, but asked us to ask, and when we asked, he told us something unimportant about Jueshan. ā€

"So, what is the purpose of his doing this?" Jiang Botong's question is undoubtedly the root of the whole thing. If all this is really done by Hu Laoba on purpose, then he must have ulterior motives.

"I don't know, but we'd better be careful. I have just arrived here, and besides, their hospitality is a bit too much, and they also provide free food and accommodation, which may also be a doubt. ā€

"Be careful. When we arrived here, we were not familiar with the place, and we must not capsize in the gutter because of carelessness. Jiang Botong reminded.

"Well, do you want to tell Wu Qin?" asked Li Xuyang.

"Hmm~" Jiang Botong pondered for a moment before saying, "Forget it, he is a big grinning person, and if he knows, there may be bad things, and it just so happens that we can also secretly observe the ulterior secrets in it." ā€

"Good. After Li Xuyang finished speaking, he stood up and opened the door, walked out of Jiang Botong's room, and went to his room instead.

After Li Xuyang came to his room, he opened it and waited. When I took out my mobile phone, I realized that my mobile phone was turned off, the battery capacity of the smartphone was already small, and the standby time was not as long as that of a non-smartphone, so when they arrived in Huzhai, it had been turned off.

Take out the charger you have with you and charge your phone. After the phone is turned on, it is found that there is a missed call......

Two days ago, outside Taiyuan Station in Shanxi, inside a car.

A driver wearing sunglasses took his mobile phone from his arms after seeing Li Xuyang walking towards the station, and then dialed the phone, and the phone rang twice before it was connected.

"It's done. Said the driver in sunglasses.

"Okay, come back, and now we're going to do another thing. After the sound came from the phone, the driver of the sunglasses put down the phone, took down a small red sign on the roof of the car that said "taxi", and walked away.
