The man surnamed Zhang looked surprised, "The remnants of Hutou Village? Wasn't Hutou Village cleared by the garrison army invited by our county commander to Fucheng? Now he is still in prison, but he heard that there were remnants outside, so he didn't immediately behead them, and those remnants didn't come to save their brothers, but they were still in the mood to go outside to rob?

That Qingfeng Town is not far from the county seat, this is a crime against the wind, isn't this a provocative garrison? ”

The man surnamed Li said: "Who said it wasn't, but looking at the route, it may be that they were going to save their brother on the way to do a vote, but I didn't expect the garrison to hear the wind and pass with the soldiers and horses, so I didn't have time to save people and ran away."

I heard the sergeant at the entrance of the town say that they had been found as soon as they arrived nearby, and that they had not caught the remnants, and that by the time they arrived in Qingfeng Town, they had already run away, and it was said that they had run separately, and they could only divide into several ways.

However, a team chased westward, and got back more than a dozen corpses from the intersection of Qinian Village, which should have been killed by their accomplices. ”

The man surnamed Zhang looked puzzled, "Brother Zhang, how do you say this?" It's too late for them to run away, so how can there be time to fight? ”

The person at the table next to him interjected: "Alas, that's not easy to guess, I think I know that it must be an uneven distribution of spoils, how can there be any real brotherhood between bandits, do you think they came to these arrested people because of righteousness?" There must be something in the hands of someone else, and they have to come to the rescue. ”

The man surnamed Zhang nodded thoughtfully, and the people at the two tables next to him who listened with their ears pricked up also nodded together.

At this time, a chubby businessman-like man on the right said, "Do you think those bandits who ran away will come to our county again?" The garrison general took the soldiers and horses to Qingfeng Town, if those bandits ran over, wouldn't our county be in danger? ”

Another man at the same table with him said: "Brother Hu is too worried, the bandits are fleeing separately, that is, how many people can come?" It is estimated that it will not be able to become a climate.

Even if we come, there are no garrison troops in our county, there are still more than 100 soldiers guarding the city, and there are also officials in the county government, plus there are many young people in our city, so why can't we let a hundred and ten thieves succeed? ”

The other people who heard it also nodded, it's true, they are the county seat, not a small town, so many people can drown them with a mouthful of spit!

At this time, I heard the man surnamed Li continue: "Listen to me first, there is another thing!" I'm not just going to encounter this today, it's something else. ”

The others quickly stopped the discussion and quieted down, their eyes focused on him.

The man surnamed Li thought that he was a person who liked to be noticed, and when he saw that everyone was looking at him, he said with a smug face: "I tell you, I came back from the west, and when I passed by the intersection of Qinian Village, I actually met the earth dragon and turned over!" ”

"It's impossible, why doesn't the earth dragon feel it when it turns over? If the earth dragon turns over, even if this place is far away from that side, there should be some movement. ”

A man next to him questioned.

The man surnamed Li looked at the man, "You're from out of town, right?" Otherwise, how could you not know the legend of the prayer village. ”

The man smiled and said: "This brother is polite, Zai Xia is indeed not from this side, he is from Fucheng, I have not heard of any New Year Prayer Village, and I ask my brother to tell Zai Xia well." ”

The man surnamed Li smiled and waved his hand and said, "This brother is polite, the matter of this Nian Village is basically known to the entire Yunling County, and it is not a secret, so I will know that you are not a local."

Speaking of the Prayer Village, it is really mysterious, this village does not know how long it has existed, anyway, it existed before the establishment of Yunling County, and it is said that it can be traced back to before the Qin Dynasty, at least a thousand years.

There are dozens of families in that village, who do not do business or hunt, and live by farming, but they are richer than other villages, even in disaster years, the village has never starved to death, and they all live in stone houses, no caves, brick houses, and adobe houses.

Of course, none of this is surprising, when the most different places, there is a rumbling sound at that intersection every three years, like a ground dragon turning over.

It's just that there is only a sound, and there is no obvious vibration, but the sound is several days, and it sounds really scary, and there are still a few villages over there at first, but because of this, they have all moved away, and there is only one New Year's village left.

I experienced it once, and I thought it was a large horse team from the imperial court passing by, and I lay on the ground and listened carefully, and I felt that the ground was not shaking, but the sound was indeed coming from under the ground, so I felt that something was wrong.

And the further I walked to that intersection, the louder it became, and by the time I got to the intersection, it was already close at hand!

I was curious, so I asked the people in the town to inquire, and I heard that there is such a thing every three years, because it is very similar to the earth dragon turning over, so I said that every movement is the earth dragon turning over.

This earth dragon turned over and had no impact on the surrounding villages and even Qingfeng Town, only the Qi Nian Village, as soon as this movement passed, the Qi Nian Village was gone! ”

"Gone? The whole village is gone? The man who claimed to be from Fucheng looked surprised.

The surnamed Zhang next to him added: "Yes, yes, every time it is every three years, and the village will reappear after a few days of disappearing."

It is said that the village is on the side of the mountain, and even if it disappears, it should not be discovered, but because of this movement, it was heard several times and reported to the town, and the town was afraid that there was something over there that could not bear the responsibility, so it was reported to the county government again.

Someone reported it, of course they would send someone to investigate, and after a few times, they found the evil sect in Qinian Village.

If I had gone to check at that time in those days, I would have found that there was no village there at all, it was just a wasteland, and there were a few times when I delayed going back two days, and the village of Qi Nian stood there well, and everyone who came and went here would have known it. ”

"What do the people in the village say? They should have known what was going on. And Brother Li said that I met again today, is this year the third year? The man asked again.

"It's not been the last time, it's been less than two years, and it's not the season every time, it's usually the hottest time of summer.

As for the inexplicable appearance of the village after it disappears, the people in the village don't seem to know what's going on.

The prefectural magistrate personally inquired, and the villagers there couldn't tell what was going on, but they knew that every three years there would be a few days when the weather was particularly bad, either heavy rain or strong winds, so that they could not go out.

They set those days as fasting days, and they stayed at home honestly, and after that they were fine, they did not know about the disappearance of the village. ”

"It's true, I was curious and went to see it, and there was nothing different about that village, except that the houses were made of stone, and there was no difference between the villagers and the people in other places.

At the beginning, it was rumored that it was haunted, and the previous county commander also took a Taoist monk to go there to exorcise ghosts or something, and after a while, he didn't get any results, and it was three years old, and he would still do it again. ”

A man in his fifties with a goatee said.

A thin man lowered his voice mysteriously and said, "You said that rumbling sound, could it not be that the earth dragon turned over, but the ghost door closed and brought them to the underworld......

"Eh~ Don't say this, my hairs stand up."

"That's it, don't be scary at night!"

The people next to him said one after another.

The thin man had no choice but to shut up and stop talking.

Qian Yan was even more curious by what they said, and kept thinking in her heart, don't stop, hurry up and continue to talk!

She looked around, and really wanted to discuss it with them, but she was a little girl who was too embarrassed to join a group of big men in the conversation, and if there was a woman among them, she could come forward and talk to someone and ask about it.

In the anticipation of Qian Yan, they finally continued to talk about this topic.

"Let me tell you, I actually know more about you, my third cousin married the brother-in-law of the village chief, of course, now her old man has passed away, but when she was alive before, she would still return to her parents' house on the second day of the Lunar New Year every year.

When we juniors go to visit the New Year, we often ask curiously about the New Year's Village, why does it disappear every three years? Guess what my third cousin said? ”

When everyone was listening, they were appetizing, and hurriedly urged: "What did you say? Oh, don't sell it, say it quickly! ”

Seeing that everyone was provoked by him, the man smiled even deeper, and said with a mysterious face: "My third cousin said that every three years, there are always a few days of heavy rain and strong winds in the summer of that year, or there is heavy fog, anyway, it is not easy to get out of the village.

Everyone stays in the village, if it is foggy, they should work in the field, they should weave at home, if it is windy and rainy, it will be troublesome, they can only stay in the house, fortunately it will be three days at most, otherwise the villagers will not be able to bear it.

There was nothing strange about it, as long as those days passed and the weather improved, they could leave the village.

However, every year, the head of their village would take a few respected old people in the village to a place to worship, which she heard her man say once when he drank too much, but where to worship, her man didn't know.

Anyway, I will go every summer every year, and it will be very grand, and every time there will be three sacrifices and six ceremonies.

There is also a strange phenomenon in the village of Prayer Village, that is, the village will marry women from outside, but the women in the village never marry outside.

Moreover, it is said that most of the children born to daughters-in-law who married from outside in their village were boys, and few gave birth to girls.

But my third cousin told me that as far as she knew, there were a few girls in the village who had married into the family of the patriarch or the village chief.

Although the two families are very good in the village, as long as the daughters-in-law of the two families marry the village, they basically do not live to be forty years old, and at most they die in their thirties. ”

"If you say so, will there be any secret in this?"

The man continued: "That's not true, those daughters-in-law don't go out, the patriarch and the village chief have better conditions at home, they are better than the other daughters-in-law in the village, they are well dressed, they are well dressed, and they all laugh when they see people every day."

If it is not good, it must be a sad face, and it is impossible for the people in the village not to see it, my third cousin said that the two generations of daughters-in-law she has seen at least seem to be doing well, but they all died in their thirties.

The village chief's daughter-in-law accidentally slipped and fell to death on the edge of the well when she followed her man to fetch water in winter.

At that time, her man was next to her, and there were other people by the well, and when she rescued her, her head was full of blood, and before she could reach the town, she was gone.

Then the second was the daughter-in-law of the patriarch's family, which was also in her 30s when she fell ill and died. There's nothing strange about it, it's just a wind chill, it seems to be cold at night, and when I slept I didn't cover it, I got a wind chill, and then I went without being cured. This is the daughter-in-law of this area now. It's a granddaughter-in-law. It's also small now. Twenty-seven or eighteen years old. It is estimated that there will be some suspense in a few years. Then I listened to the one next to me who said the ghost door just now, and remembered that the person interjected again, saying that could it be that the women in the village were cursed? I won't live to be 40 years old. And there are a lot of people in the village, all of them have sons, and there are so few daughters who have 1 problem, and there is only one household, and two households are okay, but the youth village is a big village, and my sister is a disaster. How can black and white people not have so few girls. This time, everyone didn't say that they didn't disagree with him, and they were all dark, including Qingyan was also looking at it, did you say what the man said was true? I think it's a little bit like the Tongming Street he said before, it's possible, it's a little possible, of course you say so, it's a formation, maybe the formation may not be the ghost gate of the transparent world, it's really late, you didn't say that there is no snow underground, it's not possible that the agile entrance is wrong, and it's just a boy. Good birthdays, boys, and girls should be put on hold somewhere else, maybe a blessing. People have passed the village for seven years. It's really a bit like a curse, especially when girls can't live to be 40 years old, so the average age of the lighting screen in ancient times is indeed larger, even if it's an old man at the age of 40, there are still people who live past 40 years old, sixty or seventy years old, eighty or ninety years old, although less, but it can't be said that there is no. , Otherwise, there wouldn't be so many 40 in the same house, I am the existence of the same house, and there are a few girls in various villages, and they are still well fed and drunk, and the mother-in-law is 40 years old, and every generation is the same, so there is a problem. I'm not a little afraid of testing, I want to go back to the exploration of the Seven Year Village.
