In the woods.

Zhang Rong and the others held shovels and followed me to dig the dirt on the ground.

These shovels were found in other houses, rusty but barely functional.

We dug for a long time, and we didn't find anything for the time being.

Zhang Rong was a little skeptical: "Chen Mo, are you really sure that the people in this village ...... Are they all buried under this? "Look at Shula

I nodded: "Unless I misinterpret the hexagram, but this hexagram is not complicated, and the answer it gives is also in line with why this village has become a deserted village." ”

A few decades ago, it was unlikely that a village like this would have migrated elsewhere en masse.

There are no self-heating disasters such as mudslides and earthquakes, and if the villagers are not resistant to frost, then no matter where they migrate, as long as they are still in the northeast, they will have to freeze in winter.

And what convinced me was that there were a lot of things left in these abandoned houses, which did not look like they looked like after they moved, but people left, and all the things in the house were not taken with them.

Since the villagers here did not move en masse, where did they go?

When I think of the explanation in the hexagram, I can only understand that they were buried in this wood.

In fact, as expected in the hexagram, after about half an hour of digging, Zhuge Ming not far away shouted at us.

"Come and see!"

"There really are white bones!"

We hurriedly threw shovels, climbed out of the pit, and ran towards Zhuge Ming.

I saw that in the pit he dug out, a piece of human bones was exposed.

It was supposed to be a human thigh bone, and it shattered when touched.

This has been buried for decades at least......

"I ...... I'm going to ......."

Zhang Rong swallowed his saliva and said to continue digging to see if he could dig up other bones.

So we all went around the pit and continued to dig.

It didn't take long for patches of white bones to be revealed.

Looking at the number of bones, there are at least dozens of people.

It's a corpse pit......

At this point, we all crawled out of the pit and looked in horror at the huge corpse pit.

Those white bones have all been weathered, and some of the white bones are even some black, which should have been poisoned before death.

"How to die...... So many people died? ”

"A village where everyone is dead?"

Zhang Rong and the others looked at each other, and cold sweat broke out.

I said, "Somebody poisoned the people in this village, poisoned them all, and buried them here." ”

To be able to poison so many people at once, it should be poisoned in a place where there is a water source.

"We also drank the water here, so we won't be poisoned, right?"

At this time, a senior brother became frightened.

Zhang Rong said angrily: "The poison that was given decades ago has long since evaporated." ”

Zhuge Ming looked at these white bones, frowned, and said, "The question is, who killed these villagers?" Even if there is an enmity, it is impossible to have an enmity with the entire village at the same time, right? ”

"How ruthless this is, and in addition to the dog's village in this area, there is only this village, is it the poison of the people of that village?"

Zhang Rong: "But the dog said that when he came during the day, it was also empty here, so at that time, this place was already deserted......

Zhuge Ming explained: "That kid has poor language organization skills, what he said is that there is no one here, and it is not so tattered when he sees it during the day, so to what extent is it tattered?" So the people in this village are very likely to have been poisoned to death by the people of their village, maybe when the dog was born, or before he was born, and then the dog saw the deserted village, which is actually very reasonable. ”..

Zhuge Ming finally exerted the wisdom of his surname.

His analysis is indeed reasonable, and there is such a possibility.

Zhang Rong: "Reasonable...... Chen Mo, what do you think? ”

I said: "If it is really the poison of the people in their village, then what Senior Brother Ming said before, we can't help but guard against it...... It is certainly not a good thing to dare to poison the people of the whole village at every turn, and if they find out about our existence, there is no guarantee that they will not do anything to us......

Zhang Rong sighed: "It's really a disaster, we can encounter this kind of thing even if we take refuge." ”

In the end, we reburied the bones and performed a simple ritual to overtake the souls of the dead here.

In fact, we have been in this deserted village for several nights, and we have not seen any ghosts, but we are in our line of work, and we have a sense of awe for life and death.

It's like buying a second-hand house, the day you officially move in, you have to have a process, and you have to say hello to this house, saying that I'm going to move in.

In the end, after our discussion, it was decided that someone would keep a vigil every night, and that the person who was keeping the vigil would sleep during the day.

That night, it was Zhang Rong who kept vigil.

We knew that the dog might come back tonight, so we left food for him in advance.

In the second half of the night, the boy did come, and he came earlier tonight than the previous two nights, just after one o'clock in the morning.

After Zhang Rong opened the door, Goudan stood outside the door, looking restrained, probably afraid that we would reprimand him for coming at night.

But now that we know these things, we will no longer blame him.

Zhang Rong brought him in, and after lighting the candle, we were about to go and get him food, when we suddenly noticed that there were bruises on his face, and the bruises were more than one place.

"Dog, what's the matter with the wound on your face?"

"They hit ......"

"Who are they?"

Zhang Rong frowned.

"Uncle ...... in the village"

"Why did Uncle hit you?"

"I don't know ......"

When the dog answered, there was no grievance in his expression, obviously not the first time he was beaten.

And he said he didn't know, he must have been beaten for no reason.

We were all a little angry. Look at the book

Adults hit children for no reason, it is estimated that they are simply venting, and if they are in a bad mood, they will sprinkle their anger on the child, after all, the child can't do it yet.

But anger is anger, and we can only be helpless.

If the person who beats someone is a person from our time and space, it is enough to go back and teach a lesson, but now the person who beats people and the dogs who are beaten are all people from decades ago, what can we do......

Zhang Rong sighed, went to warm up the food, and then brought the dog eggs.

After the child had eaten and drunk, he was in a much better mood and smiled at us.

"Dog, why did you suddenly run away in the morning, and we couldn't call you back?" I asked him.

He grabbed my finger and said, "Because I'm afraid, I feel like if I don't go back, something will happen to me, and I don't want to go back." ”

Hearing his words, we naturally understood.

Goudan is a man of time and space, he can only see us at night, and he must return to their village at dawn.

If he doesn't go back, maybe he'll die, maybe there will be other terrible consequences.

As for why he had that expectation, we don't understand, it may be the 'force' that made the time and space confused, reminding him that he must go back.

Actually, I thought that if we could, we would leave the dog in our plane, and when we came down the mountain, we could take him away.

But now it seems that he can't go.

Because on our time and space line, it is very likely that he died many years ago, how can we take a dead person away.
