Chapter 78: Hanging Corpses, Strange Villages
A few people were stunned, but then they nodded and walked quickly towards the village.
Seeing their firm steps, Ye Fan shook his head helplessly, I am afraid that they still didn't listen to their own words.
Only Shen Tianyin and Ji Nanshan were by his side.
"We'll be careful, and you won't be allowed to do it."
Shen Tianyin bit his lip, staring at Ye Fan's cheeks with those beautiful eyes, and said seriously.
He understands Ye Fan's character, and if he encounters danger, Ye Fan will definitely save people desperately.
But there are strange things everywhere here, and he doesn't want Ye Fan to take risks.
Looking at Shen Tianyin's serious expression, Ye Fan couldn't help but tremble in his heart, and a trace of warmth rushed out of his heart and flowed to his whole body.
"Don't worry, I'll be fine."
……
Soon the crowd came to the front of the East Village, and at the entrance of the village, there was a wooden gate made of wood, four or five meters high.
There is a wooden sign hanging on it: East Village, and right next to the name of this village, a corpse hangs from the pulp.
The corpse had been air-dried, and the rope was around its neck, and it hung brightly from the beam of the wooden door.
The wind blew, and the corpse shook constantly.
This scene shocked everyone.
"Ye Fan, this, how can there be a corpse here?"
Shen Tianyin is the second lady of the Shen family, although she has experienced ups and downs, she has never seen such a scene, and for a while, her face was pale with fright.
On the side, Ji Nanshan also frowned, his face gloomy.
"Is it the custom here?"
Lei Lao guessed in a deep voice.
Ye Fan shook his head: "My country's civilization, up and down for 5,000 years, no matter which nationality, they all pay attention to the fallen leaves and return to their roots, and they have never heard of hanging the corpses of their relatives, and you look at the corpse, the body is full of scars, and even the clothes are already torn, just ask, who will let their relatives be so miserable after death?" ”
Hearing Ye Fan's words, everyone fell silent again, their faces contemplative.
"If, as you say, this corpse was deliberately done?"
Ji Nanshan's face was frightened.
If so, it's terrible.
Ye Fan didn't say anything, from the moment he entered the Thousand Buddha Mountain, he felt that there was a gloomy atmosphere here, and then he met Xu Laoguo, who had been dead for many years, until he saw the East Village in front of him, there were too many weirdness in it.
"Let's talk about the advanced village."
Ye Fan sighed and said in a deep voice.
Having come this far, it is absolutely impossible to turn back.
Moreover, I have already set foot in it, even if I want to turn around and go back, I am afraid it will be difficult.
Just as they were about to enter the village, several people from the village had already come out.
"A few distinguished guests, since they have arrived at the entrance of the village, why not enter the village?"
The man at the head was in his forties, wearing a certain felt hat on his head, and with a faint smile on his face, his appearance was very simple.
; Lei Lao and the others didn't dare to say much for a while, and looked at Ye Fan one after another.
"I don't know what your Excellency is called? How did you know we were coming to the village? ”
Ye Fan stepped forward in two steps and looked at the person in the lead, with vigilance in his eyes, but his face was still calm.
The surrounding environment is in full view, and as long as there is any wind and grass, he can react immediately.
"I'm the village chief of the East Village, Xu Sanhu, as for how to know that you are here, with all due respect, this is my secret. :”
Xu Sanhu was also straightforward, and directly rejected Ye Fan's question.
"It's Xu's surname again."
Ye Fan secretly thought in his heart, what is the relationship between this Xu Sanhu and the former village chief Xu Laoguo?
Squinting slightly, Ye Fan's voice was a little lower.
"Dare to ask Village Chief Xu, do you know Old Stick Xu?"
Hearing this name, I saw that Xu Sanhu's whole person trembled violently, and his pupils opened instantly, staring at Ye Fan tightly.
And several people behind him were also frightened, and their eyes were dyed with fear.
"You, how do you know my father's name? He, he's been dead for five years. ”
Xu Sanhu's voice trembled, and the horror in his eyes didn't seem to be fake.
"Dead for five years?"
Recalling the mound I saw, the tombstone was indeed erected five years ago, so did Xu Lao Stick really die five years ago?
But Ye Fan still felt that something was strange, but he couldn't say it clearly for a while.
Xu Sanhu nodded heavily: "Everyone, this is not the place to talk, please follow me into the village, if you have anything to say, we can go to the village to say." ”
Xu Sanhu invited again.
Lei Lao and the others looked at Ye Fan one after another, waiting for his reply.
Only Xue Tao snorted coldly: "Standing here stupidly, like a watchdog, let's go in." ”
As he spoke, he strode towards the village.
With Xue Tao taking the lead, the remaining young people glanced at each other and followed into the village.
Only Lei Lao still looked at Ye Fan, waiting for Ye Fan's response.
After so many things, he trusted Ye Fan more and more in his heart.
But I saw that Ye Fan's eyes always fell on the faces of Xu Sanhu and the few people he brought, and there was a gleam in his eyes.
After a while, I saw him glance at Ji Nanshan, and then a smile appeared on his face: "Since Village Chief Xu is so enthusiastic, if we don't go in to visit, it seems that we are hypocritical, but if there is any disturbance, I hope Village Chief Xu will forgive me." ”
"All of you are distinguished guests, please come to our poor country and make us shine, please."
With Xu Sanhu and Ye Fan, they slowly walked into the village.
The moment he passed through the wooden door, an inexplicable cold aura suddenly swept through Ye Fan's body, making Ye Fan's heart tremble.
This chill came very suddenly, as if out of nowhere, and appeared instantly.
looked sideways at Shen Tianyin, but found that she was still as usual, and there was no special reaction.
Could it be that only you feel it?
"Little brother, is there anything wrong?"
Seeing that Ye Fan's face sank instantly, Xu Sanhu hurriedly asked with a smile.
Ye Fan shook his head: "It's nothing, it may be a long journey, and I'm a little tired." ”|
casually found an excuse to prevaricate, and then relaxed his mind and opened a distance of half a body from Xu Sanhu.
"Village Chief Xu, I don't know what the corpse hanging in front of the door means? Isn't it a custom in the village? ”
Ye Fan's words made Shen Tianyin and Lei Lao look at Xu Sanhu one after another, and they were always curious in their hearts.
Only Ji Nanshan didn't react, his expression remained unchanged, but his eyes kept looking around, and, without anyone paying attention, black powder fell from his wide cuffs from time to time.
"Alas, it's hard to say a word."
Xu Sanhu let out a long sigh, his expression dyed with helplessness.
"You may not know that in this Thousand Buddha Mountain, there are a total of three villages, namely Congcun, South Village and North Village, before, our three villages got along very well, helped each other, like a family, but later, a shocking event made the relationship between our three villages break down instantly, and became enemies."
"What's the shock?"
Shen Tianyin seemed to be listening to a story, and couldn't wait to ask.
