Chapter 31: The Point of No Return
Everyone looked at each other, not knowing what was going on, so they could only shake their heads helplessly, "Let's go, let's go to other people's houses and ask." The crowd nodded and moved on to the next house.
The situation is the same as that of the old Han family, as long as the word "Sushu" is mentioned, these villagers who are quite enthusiastic in front of them are like seeing ghosts and can't avoid it.
I thought for a while and said, "It seems that the word 'Su Shu' is taboo here, and I don't know what happened to make the villagers here so afraid of him." ”
Cheng Danrui's face changed slightly, gritted his teeth and said: "As the saying goes, money can make ghosts grind, I don't believe it, there will be people who don't love money, let's find a smaller family later, they shouldn't want money." ”
Jiang Sheng pondered for a while and said, "That's it." ”
The group went around again and found a small family. After explaining the intention, the family saw the money in Cheng Danrui's hand, and couldn't help but struggle for a while, Cheng Danrui looked like he was going to take the money, and the family finally compromised and told them a story.
Su Shu, the glory to return to the hometown, this is a great honor, at that time the imperial court also gave the archway to stand at the entrance of the village, their village is so famous ten miles and eight townships, the village people are proud of Su Shu.
After his death, the court buried him according to the system of the marquis, and everything before and after his life can be said to be very honorable. In order to commemorate him, the people of the village built an ancestral hall in front of his tomb and made incense offerings to Su Shu.
I don't know how many years have passed, Su Shu's ancestral hall is still flourishing, but strange things have quietly appeared.
First, the offerings of the villagers disappeared for no reason, and even the people who offered them disappeared for no reason, and there was no news. The villagers thought they didn't care too much at first, but the more things became more and more weird, and the villagers gradually became afraid, and spontaneously pooled money to hire a master to suppress evil spirits, but the master died for no reason two days later.
There were gradually messages in the village, and the most said was that Su Shu's soul was unwilling and came out to make trouble.
Because the front village is next to Sushu's cemetery, the villagers have slowly moved out to the current back village, and Sushu's archway has also collapsed because of disrepair, and the road to Sushu's ancestral hall has gradually become desolate, and no one has been to the cemetery for many years.
Hearing this, everyone was stunned. No wonder the villagers all kept silent, it turned out that there was such a strange thing.
Jiang Sheng took out the map and said to the family, "Can you show me the way?" ”
The middle-aged man looked at it for a while before pointing out the way, Jiang Sheng silently marked it, and then the group asked where there was a place to live and left.
To make a long story short, when I got to the place where I lived, I took a hasty rest and began to discuss what to do next.
Hua Nana resolutely opposed going there, a woman's intuition is always extremely accurate, Hua Nana felt that the place was very dangerous, and Cheng Danrui glanced at her fiercely, Hua Nana restrained her head and was silent.
I suddenly remembered what my grandfather had said to me before, "Everything in the world is false, and hearing is not necessarily true." Besides, if there is such a thing as a unicorn... Of course, I don't care, but the importance to all of you here is self-evident, so now that we have figured out the location of the tomb and have a map in hand, why don't we go down to the tomb to see what is going on? ”
After speaking, I looked at everyone's reactions, and saw Jiang Sheng and Ba Jun both nodding and agreeing with my words.
In the end, Jiang Sheng nodded and said: "We are here for the Qilin, so naturally we will not let go of any clues, since this is the case, let's go down and explore." ”
Ba Jun and Cheng Danrui also agreed, Gu Anyi and Hua Nana had no opinions, Jiang Sheng saw that everyone agreed and said: "This matter is so decided, we will leave early tomorrow morning." Be prepared before going to the grave, and don't underestimate the danger. ”
Everyone nodded, and they all went back to their rooms to rest.
After I fell asleep, the iron gourd bottle pendant suddenly vibrated a little.
In the early morning of the next day, everyone was about to stop in the small courtyard outside the village guest house, and was about to set off, but a sudden thunder broke out in the sky, which frightened Hua Nana, the only girl in the group, to throw out the things she was carrying, and then hid behind Cheng Danrui and grabbed the corners of his clothes tightly and trembled.
Seeing this, Jiang Sheng scolded secretly in his heart, and said to Cheng Danrui: "This eldest lady's courage is so small, it may not be good to follow us to the place of the dead, and when the time comes, we will be scared out of our guts... It's hard to explain, you say, right? ”
Seeing this, Jiang Sheng glanced at Cheng Danrui.
What an old fox, who has thrown off his baggage and distributed a little more dry food. I couldn't help but think. Looks like this person needs to pay attention. But thunder on weekdays is not a good thing. It seems that Su Shu's tomb is not a good place either. ’
After a small episode, everyone set off again, and Hua Nana was left in the village guest house, and her supplies were naturally redistributed by everyone. Cheng Danrui can only accept this.
After aligning the map, we set off under the leadership of Jiang Sheng.
Without saying anything along the way, we slowly moved along the front village, and the remains of the Ming and Qing dynasties became more and more scarce along the way. Gradually, we entered the hills in the middle of the Qilu land, and the speed of our march slowed down.
"Is the road right, why did you go to the mountains?" Cheng Danrui couldn't help complaining.
"Where did you get so much nonsense, just follow along, nerd."
Feeling a trace of anger in Jiang Sheng's words, Cheng Danrui closed his mouth in a sneer, after all, no one can help him here, and Cheng Danrui, the anger of a fugitive murderer, still can't bear it.
Ba Jun also secretly came over to me and said, "I've been walking for so long, and I haven't arrived yet, I wonder if I'm going by mistake." ”
I looked around, shook my head, and said, "No, aren't you well prepared this time?" And don't all the villagers remember this road, it should be a little far away, you take care of An Yi, haven't you been fiddling with his camera all the way. ”
"Hey! I don't know how to get that foreign thing, that kid can treat it as a baby, and he holds it in his hand every day, and we usually don't let us touch it. ”
While everyone was talking, Jiang Sheng, who was walking in the front, signaled to stop, and it turned out that they all came to the entrance of a small basin unconsciously, surrounded by dense trees, with a faint sound of water and a trace of mist in it, and some broken tiles scattered around.
"It seems that this should be the ancestral hall, but it should have been destroyed many years ago. Let's go first and take a look, and then make plans to see if we can find anything, and the map is not marked here. ”
