27. Natural disasters are coming
Zhang Cheng and I stared at Zhong Qiu in disbelief, and after a while, we seemed to remember it, no wonder it felt familiar, we went to Qiancheng Village to see Liu Bin, and only saw Liu Bin's wife, and it was a woman who looked very gentle, and his daughter was also very playful and cute, which Cheng thought that it had only been more than half a month, and the two of them had become like this.
But what about Liu Bin?
We didn't think much of it, hurriedly settled the bill and chased in the direction where the mother and daughter had left.
It's not that we want to be nosy, but since I have fused Xia Xiaoxiao, although she has left, I think it is still necessary to figure out a little bit about her.
The mother and daughter weren't very fast, so we chased them for a while and found them, and they didn't have any shelter at all, just a nearby park and camped on a park bench.
Seeing the two of them leaning on each other, although it has just entered autumn, the autumn wind is in the bones, and the two of them are also dilapidated, and the night is cold, they are really guilty.
These two people are in such a situation now, Liu Bin did not appear. At the beginning, he had a deep affection for Xia Xiaoxiao, but later he finally married a wife and had children, and seeing that he was very good to the children, Liu Bin had an accident.
If it was just an ordinary accident, there was no need for us to intervene, but at this time, Zhong Qiu and I glanced at each other, and we both thought of the strange woman with an oil-paper umbrella we met when we left Qiancheng Village that day. Our intuition tells us that this incident has something to do with her.
Now it is clear that Liu Bin's wife can no longer speak, and her daughter is still young, so it is estimated that she will not get any useful information from them.
It seems that we have to go to Qiancheng Village again.
This time, we didn't take anyone with us, and we didn't look for Uncle Li who took us into the village at the beginning, but Zhong Qiu rented a car and drove me to Qiancheng Village.
Actually, I didn't really want to go back to Qiancheng Village, this village was too depressing, and it didn't give me a good feeling, but I didn't expect that in just over half a month, we would return here.
We entered the village without making a noise and parked directly at Liu Bin's house.
The house is in dilapidation, the fruits and vegetables planted in the yard have long been dead, wilted, and even some weeds have grown.
However, as far as we know, Liu Bin has not offended anyone, why was he targeted?
After a brief lunch at Liu Bin's house, we walked around the village and saw a strange sight. Many of them were hung with white cloths, and there were corpses parked in the yards.
There are not many people in this village, most of them are some elderly people, how can there be so many people in half a month?
From Uncle Li's mouth, we learned that there is a rule in this village, that is, the dead must be parked in the courtyard for seven days to completely block the yang energy, and then everyone will help them to find a random place to bury them on the mountain behind the village. There are so many corpses in the village, I am afraid that they are all people who died within seven days.
"These corpses have no soul."
After Zhong Qiu walked around briefly, his face became more and more gloomy.
I also seem to know the seriousness of this matter, after death, even the soul is gone, and someone must be detained again.
Because of what happened to Mr. Zhou, I don't have a good impression of these people with many souls.
Zhong Qiu and I walked to the entrance of the village, where sat an elderly grandmother, still like the last time she came, her eyes were cloudy and hopeless, but this time, there was still a trace of despair in her eyes.
"Grandma, I see that many houses in the village seem to have white cloths, what's going on?"
I approached the old lady with the sweetest smile I've ever had, hoping to hear some useful answers from her mouth.
The old lady seemed to be a little slow to react, and after a moment she realized that I was calling her, and looked at me slowly, and then I saw some horror in her eyes, and she looked around first, and then looked at me with some hesitation. I understood what she meant, and leaned forward, putting my ear to her mouth, and she spoke with some fear.
"When a natural disaster comes, there is a great disaster in our village, and eight people die every seven days, until they die."
I was taken aback by my grandmother's remarks, but I would never believe any natural disasters.
"Grandma, why do you say it's a natural disaster?"
The old lady knew that I didn't believe it, and accentuated her tone to dissuade her.
"Hurry up, or you'll die!"
When the old woman said this, she suddenly reached out and grabbed my wrist, don't look at her age, but her strength is not small, and my wrist immediately turned red. Seeing this, Zhong Qiu pulled me away and protected me, and looked at the old woman defensively.
After the old woman let go of me, she began to cry and laugh, muttering incoherent words over and over again.
"Hahaha, natural disasters are coming, and they all have to die! They all have to die! The shrine maiden has received the will of Heaven, and she has come to punish us! No, no, no, I don't want to die, I haven't lived enough! I've got to live forever, I'm a fairy......"
It turned out that the old grandmother had gone crazy.
Zhong Qiu took me away, because we couldn't ask anything from the old woman's mouth.
However, natural disasters, shrine maidens, punishment ...... Those three words came back to my mind.
"You say, that strange woman with an oil-paper umbrella could be the witch who the old grandmother came to punish them?"
I said my guess, and Zhong Qiu nodded.
"I'm afraid it's true."
Zhong Qiu was a little heavy.
"I found out that she wasn't normal last time, if only we were more careful and didn't leave in a hurry."
I understand what Zhong Qiu meant, if we hadn't left, maybe so many people would not have died in this village, Liu Bin would not have disappeared, and Liu Bin's wife and daughter would not have lived on the streets, begging for a living.
I regret it a little, if only we could have been more careful.
After a moment of heaviness, we didn't continue to be depressed, and since we came, we naturally couldn't indulge anymore. We cheered up and continued to explore the village.
But we walked through the whole village, and we didn't find the woman.
After going back, Zhong Qiu did not rush to rest, but found a book from the backpack he was carrying.
He flipped through the pages carefully, and I looked at him from the side until I wanted to doze off, after all, I was so sleepy after a long day's walk.
"Found it!"
Zhong Qiu's excited voice frightened me, I sobered up a little, and asked hurriedly.
"What did you find?"
Zhong Qiu pointed to a page of the book and showed it to me.
"The cow sucks the grass, and it smells like the one we smelled from the woman that day. But—"
Zhong Qiu stared at me with some words in depth.
"It's generally for dead people......"
