Chapter 77: Into the Mountain, Sudden Danger
The mountain road was rugged and overgrown with weeds, so everyone walked slowly through the weeds.
"According to the news I investigated, there are three villages in this Thousand Buddha Mountain, which are called East Village, South Village, and North Village, and the three villages have contradictions with each other, and they do not interact with each other, but they are all crowded in this Thousand Buddha Mountain, so there are often struggles, and there are often casualties in the past few years, so if we enter the village, remember not to talk nonsense, so as not to get into trouble."
Ye Fan walked in the middle and began to instruct everyone.
"There are often casualties, don't they call the police? Today, it is a society governed by the rule of law. ”
Shen Tianyin asked curiously.
Ji Nanshan sighed: "In this deep mountain, even if there are dead people, I'm afraid the outside world won't know, as long as they approve of themselves, who can do anything to them?" ”
"What's more, they are extremely xenophobic, and even if they die, they will not seek help from the outside."
These people are equivalent to surrounding themselves and isolating themselves from the rest of the world, and the outside legal system is useless to them.
"It's hard to imagine that there is such a tribal way of life today."
Shen Tianyin's words are really incisive.
These people do live like tribes.
Obey only their respective leaders and never trust others.
At this moment, a figure flashed in front of him.
"Someone." Xue Tao exclaimed, and then quickly chased after him.
Since he was taught a lesson by Ye Fan last time, although Xue Tao still hated Ye Fan, he didn't dare to target him on the surface.
It's just that the hatred buried deep in my heart is even more terrifying.
It's like a time bomb, it doesn't have to explode at any time.
However, Ye Fan was always on guard against this, and did not give him a chance at all.
Seeing that Xue Tao was chasing after him, Ye Fan and the others also followed quickly.
"Who are you? What do you do in our East Village? ”
Finally, when they caught up with the figure, they saw an old man with a firewood knife in his hand, staring at them with a defensive face.
The old man's hair was gray, his face was full of wrinkles, and his eyes were cloudy, but there was a touch of depth in the depths of his eyes.
It's just that this gaze always feels lifeless in Ye Fan's eyes.
Moreover, the feeling that this old man gave Ye Fan was suffocating, cold, and cold.
"Old man, we are from the Jiangnan Antique Association, and we are here specifically for an antique, so I am disturbed, and I ask the old man to forgive me."
Lei Lao stood up and said politely to the old man.
The old man's gaze swept over everyone's faces, and a smile suddenly appeared.
"It turned out to be a guest from afar, we are welcome in the East Village, since you are here to hunt for treasures, why don't you go to our East Village to rest first, we Ye Xiu can help you."
The old man's smile was kind, and his face changed instantly, giving people the feeling of going from hell to heaven.
Lei Lao and the others immediately smiled and nodded, gladly accepting.
If you can find a local guide as a guide, you will definitely be able to get twice the result with half the effort.
Only Ye Fan frowned, the outside world said that the people here were very xenophobic, but why did this old man change his face instantly?
Not only did he invite them to the village, but he also threatened to help them, which was really weird. “
"You go down this road, about half an hour, you can see our East Village, where you go, just mention my name, the head of the old East Village, Xu Lao Stick."
"Thank you, Village Chief Xu."
Lei Lao said politely, and then bowed his fist and thanked them, beckoning them to hurry up.
The old man watched them leave, and Ye Fan, who was walking at the end, turned his head slightly, and saw the old man smiling at the corner of his mouth, the smile on his face was very stiff, and a touch of blood flashed at the bottom of his eyes.
"I'm afraid there will be explosions in this, so you must be careful."
Ye Fan reminded in a low voice.
Shen Tianyin and Ji Nanshan nodded heavily, and they also felt a little weird.
But Xue Tao snorted coldly: "Hearing is false, seeing is believing, the people here are not only xenophobic, but also hospitable, what is there to worry about?" ”
His words speak for the voices of others.
They all echoed it.
In this regard, Ye Fan didn't care about them, they had their own ideas, and there was nothing wrong with that.
"If there is an accident later, remember, you must follow me, I will do my best to protect you, I'm afraid this road will not be easy."
Squinting, looking at Lei Lao in front of them, they were full of interest, and Ye Fan frowned.
Danger often happens when you are lax.
……
Just when Ye Fan was always paying attention to the movements around him, Xue Tao in front of him suddenly let out an exclamation: "Huh? ”
"What's going on?"
Ye Fan asked in a deep voice.
Walking forward a few steps quickly, I saw Xue Tao stunned there, staring at a dirt bag in front of him.
There was a tombstone erected in front of the dirt bag.
"Grave? What's all the fuss? ”
Lei Lao scolded dissatisfiedly.
But when he stepped forward and saw the name on the tombstone, even Lei Lao was stunned on the spot.
"The tomb of the former village chief Xu Laozhu."
Xu Lao stick?
That old man seems to be called that just now!
"Did we hit a ghost?"
Ji Nanshan frowned.
Ye Fan shook his head: "The current situation is unknown, and it is not easy to judge, but this Thousand Buddha Mountain is becoming more and more mysterious." ”
A former village chief, who had long since died, showed them the way in a good manner, and his attitude was very kind.
Ye Fan looked around the tomb, although the tombstone was erected more than ten years ago, the soil here seemed to have just been renovated and was still new.
Moreover, there are traces of tool digging.
"What is this?"
Shen Tianyin suddenly pointed to a clod of soil and asked in surprise.
Ye Fan hurriedly came over, only to see that there was a ring under the clod of soil.
Four nine pure gold, although not big, but the purity is enough, and there can be this heart-to-heart seal on it.
"It seems to be a wedding ring."
Ye Fan frowned.
"It should be left behind by people passing by before, it doesn't matter, let's hurry into the village, it's been a morning walk, everyone is exhausted, at this time point to find a place to rest and eat something."
Lei Lao left quickly, not giving Ye Fan a chance to take a closer look, and had no choice but to keep up with the footsteps of the large army.
After walking for more than ten minutes, in the distance, I finally saw the outline of a village halfway up the mountain in front of me.
"This should be the East Village, but the feng shui layout of this village ......."
On the side, Ji Nanshan muttered in a low voice, the voice was not loud, only Ye Fan could hear it.
At this time, Ye Fan was also looking at the village intently.
"The green dragon is the shoulder, and the white tiger is entangled, this should be arranged for the Yin House, right? How could a living person come up with such a layout? ”
Ye Fan exclaimed.
As a tomb keeper, he had seen too many mansions in his previous life, and he knew a lot about it.
"Perhaps, it's just the living habits of the people here, since we're already here, there's no reason to bypass it."
Lei Lao looked at Yang Fan and said in a low voice.
"If I say, we'd better not stir up trouble, I always feel that this East Village is too weird, not only people, but even the village has problems, a little careless, I'm afraid we will be in danger."
