As soon as she was put on the bed, Shen Xingliu was about to leave, but she grabbed her hand.

"Don't go..."

Immediately, there was a whisper behind him, it turned out that Tang Xuanxuan woke up, and he turned around and said, "I'm not leaving." ”

I saw Shen Xingliu smiling, picking up a round stool and sitting on the edge of the bed:

"You're really amazing today!"

"Hmph, do you want you to say it?"

Tang Xuanxuan held his palm, leaned on her cheek, and said with a red face: "Look at how dare you look down on me again..."

Seeing Tang Xuanxuan, who was as delicate as a naughty child, Shen Xingliu helplessly stretched out his finger and scratched her Qiong's nose: "Yes, yes, whoever dares to underestimate you again, I will help you beat him." ”

At this moment, Tang Xuanxuan smiled with satisfaction, but became worried again, and said, "Uncle Zou's illness is only temporarily stabilized now. ”

Then he struggled to get up to no avail, but with his help, he managed to half-sit up and lean against the head of the bed.

"Do you mean, go ashore and get medicine?" Shen Xingliu said his thoughts, of course he was willing to go on an adventure, but he was a little worried about the safety of everyone.

Tang Xuanxuan frowned and nodded, "If there is no medicine next time, Uncle Zou may be difficult to heal." ”

"That's it..."

After listening to her description of Uncle Zou's condition, Shen Xingliu also sweated for Fang Cai's rescue in a millimeter.

The heart, which is one of the most fragile parts of the human body, is as powerful as him, and he has also suffered in the secret room for three days.

With Uncle Zou's physical condition, he obviously can't bear such consequences.

At this moment, there was a knock on the door outside.

"Is it Lao Pang, come in." Shen Xingliu's ears moved slightly, and he knew who was coming.

Sure enough, Pang Junde scratched the back of his head in embarrassment, and came in, followed by the little wolf, "Brother Shen, Miss Tang, I also know that it's not good to disturb you now." ”

"But there are some things I have to say..."

Shen Xingliu pointed to the round stool that fell on the floor on the side, "Old Pang, look at your appearance, it's not like you've finished a sentence or two, let's sit down first." ”

"Hey, okay."

Pang Junde moved a round stool and began to speak. What happened to them in Yunmeng Town...

......

Say, that day. When they were drawn to the sound of a burst of crying.

On such a festive day, how can there be crying? The two of them had unspeakable doubts in their hearts.

Following the cry, I came to a small courtyard.

I saw that the courtyard gate was closed, and the blue brick courtyard wall was also very high, so I couldn't see the scene inside.

But wisps of burning paper money could be heard, and a cloud of smoke could be seen wafting out of the yard.

The two looked at each other and decided to knock on the door to ask.

"Toot, toot, toot!"

Pang Junde ate the remaining half of the rock sugar gourd in his hand, stuffed it into the little wolf, and knocked on the door.

But after knocking for a long time, no one came to open the door. It seems that the people in the courtyard are too sad to pay attention to it.

The two of them stood quietly in front of the door, about the time of a pillar of incense, and were about to give up.

At this moment, the crying in the courtyard gradually faded away.

"Crunch!"

The courtyard door opened a crack.

Behind the door, standing timidly, a beautiful young woman, frowning willow eyebrows, with two tear stains on her face, asked:

"Who's coming?"

Hearing the question of a woman behind him, Pang Junde turned around and looked at it, but it was not easy to look directly.

The woman was dressed in sackcloth and filial piety, but she couldn't hide her alluring appearance, and she brought a few teardrops, which was really pitiful for me.

Immediately, he replied: "A certain name is Pang Junde, and his name is Little Wolf." Passing through the treasure land, if there is a disturbance, look at the sea. ”

"Listen to your accent, is it a distant guest?"

The visitor was not only polite, but seeing that he was still carrying a child, he also dispelled a little doubt in the young woman's heart.

So, she opened the door, gave a blessing to her, and replied: "The concubine is Liu Zhang's family, and she has seen distant guests." Even if you are a distant guest, then go into the house and drink a cup of tea. ”

"Little Wolf~"

The little wolf was eating a sugar gourd, and as soon as he was called by the uncle, he worshipped with him.

"Thank you, Lady Liu."

Liu Zhang stepped aside and welcomed the two into the courtyard, and the two saw the brazier that had not yet been extinguished.

"Let the distant guests smile, please take a seat in the lobby." Liu Zhang wiped the tears that had dried up and smiled bitterly in embarrassment.

In the lobby, the three of them were already seated.

Pang Junde sniffed the fragrant tea on the case, took a sip, and exclaimed: "It's really good tea." ”

"It's so bitter..."

The little wolf doesn't know why, where is the tea, why do you like it so much?

Following the example of the uncle, he took a small sip, and immediately stretched out his bitter tongue, revealing a very disgusted look.

Liu Zhang's looked at this naïve, and couldn't help but cover his mouth and laugh, and he also swept away some of the bad mood of this day.

"Little wolf, don't be rude." Pang Junde smacked his lips and said.

The little wolf let out an "oh", held his mouth, and sat back in his chair. No more words of complaint.

Pang Junde nodded with satisfaction, put down the teacup, and said the question in his heart: "Dare to ask Mrs. Liu, today is a good festival, why are you crying?" ”

Maybe he was in a better mood, and Liu Zhang was also happy to tell his experience with others.

"Distant guests don't know that although this fire festival has the meaning of beautiful women in pairs, there are also customs of sending sorrow and mourning the dead."

"Isn't the gorgeous fireworks blooming in the sky just a sign that people will disappear into the world like fireworks?" After Liu Zhang's explanation, they also sorted out their doubts.

"Mrs. Liu's day mourns," Pang Junde felt something, and hugged his fists and comforted: "I don't know, who are you mourning?" ”

At this moment, he already had a guess in his heart, but it involved a dusty secret.

"Since the distant guest wants to ask, then the concubine will tell you and say..."

Liu Zhang seemed to have opened the conversation, and there was nothing bad to say: "I haven't told anyone the story here for many years, and you were the first to ask me."

"I still remember that year, I was just a fishing girl in a small fishing village by the river. The concubine and her deceased husband met on the Flowing Fire Festival, what a quiet and beautiful time it was. ”

"But the change happened in that year..."

At that time, the overthrow of the Great Yu Kingdom was imminent, and the people were already struggling to make a living, and all the festivals were just joys in the bitterness, but some people were still happy.

These people are the people at the bottom, and they cannot resist the oppression of fate.

However, there is a group of strongmen, who go up the mountain and fall into the grass as a coward, in the name of doing the right thing for heaven, robbing houses all day long, and there are eight or nine of the ten families on the river.

The officers and soldiers are resisting the invasion of Northern Rou, and it is not enough to protect themselves, how can they save them?

As a result, the thieves gradually grew bigger and harmed the nearby villages and towns.

One day, the butcher's knife fell.

"Three years ago, during the Flowing Fire Festival, I wanted to bring some money back to my parents' house, but I occasionally felt cold, and my deceased husband went to Yongling Village instead of me, but I didn't expect it to be at that time..."

Liu Zhang's wept like a complaint, and tears fell to the ground: "The fifty-six people in Yongling Village all fell under the butcher's knife of the bandits and bandits, including my husband. ”

Pang Junde drank the tea in the cup, got up and hugged his fists, and said solemnly: "Alas, how can there be eggs under the nest, Madame, please mourn, I and other big men will do their best to drive away that gang of thieves." Avenge you. ”

The little wolf hung his head and left the seat, his mind echoing the story just now, and even the sugar gourd in his hand was tasteless.

"The guest is noble, but you still need to do what you can." Liu Zhang didn't want to lose the life of a good person because of his story.

"Madame, don't worry, they won't be able to bounce for long, I'll wait for something else, so I'll leave first."

With that, Pang Junde was about to leave the courtyard with the little wolf.

"Guests stay!"

In the hall, Liu Zhang chased out.

"What?" They turned around and asked, confused.

Liu Zhang leaned against the door frame and said worriedly: "It's just that guests must not go to that Yongling Village." ”

"Why, isn't that Madame's maiden family?"

I saw that Liu Zhang's left and right were a little embarrassed: "Yes, but over the years, the concubine has heard people who have been there say that it is haunted." ”

Haunted?!

Yes, the slaughter of fifty-six people in the whole village is really terrifying. But haunted, isn't it too exaggerated?

"It's true, it's all the thieves on the Black Wind Ridge who did the evils, I heard that they put up a formation in Yongling Village to lock the undead in it,"

Liu Zhang's words have a nose and eyes, even if he is afraid in his heart, he still has to say: "I heard that in the first two years, there were a few bold men who went to help the people of Yongling Village collect the corpses, but within a few days of coming back, they all died violently on the spot. ”

"When the officials came to investigate the case, they couldn't give a reason? only said that he was scared to death, but the concubine knew that maybe it was a ghost asking for her life. ”

"This, this, this..."

Pang Junde's hands immediately trembled, and the little wolf shrank behind him:

"If I don't go, don't worry."

When they left the courtyard, they felt that their minds were in chaos, and they walked in a daze, and they didn't know how far they went.

When I wanted to go back and look for the yard again, I couldn't find it in the alley.

The two thought they had met a ghost hitting the wall.

In short...

......

"In short, this village is absolutely not allowed to be entered." Pang Junde immediately refuted Shen Xingliu's proposal.

Master, you just let us save some snacks...

"What the hell is hitting the wall, things must be man-made." Shen Xingliu held his cheek with one hand and analyzed.

Pang Junde thought about it carefully, and there were indeed a lot of things wrong: "You mean, there is a problem in the tea?" ”

"That's it,"

At this time, Shen Xingliu was already convinced, "By the way, was Xiaoba also there at that time?" ”

"Me?"

Hachi flapped his wings and stood on the round table, and the four of them looked at it together, and it was still a little twisted: "I want to think about it..."

"As soon as I entered the courtyard, I had an invisible force that disturbed my mechanical heart."

"I'll, I'll just go to sleep."

For what happened later, Hachi has no impression at all.

Can it affect the operation of machinery?

This made Shen Xingliu can't help but think that when he went to the black city, Dong Chao's compass had also failed. It seems that there is something strange about this Yongling Village.

You must know that Tang Xuanxuan now has a lot of knowledge in "Thousand Machines" in her mind.

Immediately analyzed: "What can affect your mechanical heart is unless there is a strong magnet in the yard." ”

"Strong magnets?" The three of them were taken aback and exclaimed, "What is that?" ”

I saw that she cleared her throat and said, "Yes, Sinan, you all know it, right?" That is made of magnets, which can absorb iron tools, and strong magnets are artificially made, which is stronger than magnets. ”

"It's just that what I didn't expect was that in that small town, there were people who could make strong magnets."
