Chapter Seventy-Five: The Village Horror
Han Xiaoxiao took the two of them all the way to the village on the outskirts of the capital, Hu Hua couldn't believe that he had reached such a level along the way, swallowing his saliva and standing at the gate of the village a little overwhelmed.
"What are you doing standing there? Come over and take a look, there seem to be a lot of footprints here, and they don't look like supernatural events. ”
Hu Hua was not very bold, but when he arrived in this gloomy place, he was even more afraid, and he pulled He Sifeng's sleeve to death.
"Aren't you two a little too bold, aren't we just looking into the case? Can't you come back tomorrow morning?"
He Sifeng swept his hand down a little impatiently, and pulled Han Xiaoxiao towards the village, while not forgetting to threaten: "You can think about it, if you don't go in, you will wait in this place until tomorrow morning!"
Hu Hua watched the two of them really go farther and farther, sighed long and followed helplessly.
At night, there was no light in the village, and even the sound was only a faint sound of insects, as if the whole village had died.
Han Xiaoxiao didn't pay attention to these, just looked down at the messy footprints, and walked forward vigorously.
He Sifeng didn't know what he was thinking, so he followed behind Han Xiaoxiao in a daze, letting out a few sighs from time to time.
Hu Hua himself was so scared that he didn't dare to raise his head at all, and after waiting for a while, he couldn't stand it anymore, so he slowly raised his head.
I saw that the three of them were about to walk outside the village, not to mention the houses, there was nothing in the masonry and stone, only a dark and deep meadow.
"Where are you going, let's go into the woods. ”
Han Xiaoxiao slowly raised his head, looked at the mountains and forests in front of him and sighed twice, and said helplessly: "It seems that this is another troublesome matter, let's call a few people over!"
"What do you mean by that? Aren't the three of us enough? Do you want to call the outside guards in?"
He Sifeng glanced at Han Xiaoxiao and felt that things were definitely not that simple, so he didn't speak, standing aside and looking at the two people lightly.
Han Xiaoxiao looked at Hu Hua's terrified appearance with some amusement, and deliberately lengthened his voice to scare him: "Of course, there are too many dead people here, and when the ghosts come out in a while, the three of us will not be enough for them!"
Hu Hua was so shocked that he almost jumped up, and after reacting, he realized that Han Xiaoxiao was lying to him, his face was red with anger, his neck was thick, and he lowered his head and stopped talking.
Han Xiaoxiao just made a joke, shrugged his shoulders and led the two of them to continue walking: "Although what I said just now was to scare you, but it is also sincere, there are indeed a lot of dead people in this place, if you are afraid, you should hurry back the way you came!"
Hu Hua's face turned pale, his legs began to tremble, and he could barely stand for a while.
"You said it lightly, isn't it because you said that we can't bring too many people, so I put a lot of guards not far from Zhuangzi? ”
As they spoke, the three of them saw a neat tombstone, which was neat and clean, as if someone was cleaning it every day, glowing white in the moonlight, which looked particularly weird.
Han Xiaoxiao's face was a little solemn, with imperceptible disgust in his eyes, and he said coldly: "This place seems to deserve it, let's hurry up and catch the troublemakers here and leave quickly! ”
Hu Hua was simply confused, he didn't know what was going on at all, and suddenly he heard Han Xiaoxiao say these words to the grave, and he was panicked and helpless for a while.
"Even if you are not afraid, you can respect the deceased, if you can not say these words, don't say it, especially at this time, what do you see?"
He Sifeng glanced at Hu Hua, pinched Han Xiaoxiao's hand to soothe him, and then took over the conversation and said slowly: "Actually, it's very simple, don't you think the grave in this place is a little strange?"
Hu Hua looked at it carefully, and it took a long time to find that the graves here, whether they were earthen bags or tombstones, were many ordinary and small, but they were more like children's graves, but at present, there are seventy or eighty of these graves, and if they are all children's graves, it is a little too much to say.
Han Xiaoxiao looked at Hu Hua with a puzzled look and was a little helpless, and said in his heart that he really deserved to be the eldest young master from a family, and this kind of thing can be said to be ignorant.
"These are children's graves, you may think that the number is a little wrong, and this is the most important thing, it stands to reason that it is impossible for a village to die such a child, which means that these children did not die by themselves. ”
Hu Hua's eyes widened, and he suddenly thought of a folk legend, and said in disbelief: "Do you mean that the people of this village are easy to eat? How is this possible, how can there be such ruthless parents in the world?"
He Sifeng slowly approached a grave, looked at the words engraved on the tombstone and sighed for a long time, and then looked up with a lot of gloom on his face: "Folklore says that as long as you eat the flesh of a child, you can get the life of a child, where can those who want to live take care of so much, besides, there are not only their own children in this world, isn't there still a lot of other people?"
Han Xiaoxiao has always been the most annoyed by this kind of killing cubs or children, shook his head and stopped looking, and led the two of them to go around the cemetery and continue to walk forward.
"I remember that the emperor issued an order at that time, saying that anyone who killed young children would die with a broken car, and now there is no movement. ”
After this incident, Hu Hua is no longer so afraid. Hearing this, he snorted coldly, glanced at He Sifeng who was speaking, and then slowly spoke: "Of course, it's because our prime minister covers the sky with one hand! Where is there any rule of law in the capital now, and who still remembers the emperor of heaven." ”
He Sifeng has known in the capital that the prime minister's power is very strong in the past few days, but he didn't expect it to reach this level, and he shook his head and felt very sorry.
"I thought about how prosperous and stable the capital was when my father was still there, but I didn't expect that this was only a few years later, and it had already become like this. ”
Hu Hua was also a little emotionally moved, pulling the blades of grass beside him and shaking his head: "Who said no, I don't know what happened to the emperor, even if he was blinded about your family's affairs, but the prime minister's affairs have become so big that he still turns a deaf ear, which is a little wrong." ”
Han Xiaoxiao looked at the road ahead.
