But that's not food. In a dark corner, the old scholar found a man unconscious.

It is not difficult to see that this man rolled down a slope. A yellow dog cub was tightly guarded in his arms, and the big yellow dog picked up the cub and returned to the old scholar.

Both the man and the dog were saved. The old scholar always believes that meeting is fate, and if he has the ability, he will still help.

The young man he rescued did not disappoint him either. After waking up, he was cautious everywhere, respectful in his words and deeds, and took the initiative to help him.

Before dawn, the young man got up early to help the old scholar clean up the house and did many chores. He hadn't asked the young man exactly who he was, and he was surprised that such a foreigner would come to Sanli Village.

Within a radius of ten miles, who hears some wind now, is not avoided.

And last night he was busy applying medicine to the young man, and the old scholar didn't pay much attention to it.

While they were busy cooking, the girl in the side room began to cry again—perhaps because they were moving too loudly, or perhaps because they were talking.

"Let's be quiet—" The old scholar didn't actually talk to the young man about anything, at most he asked how the injury was.

Surprisingly, the young man recovered quickly. It is said that it will take a hundred days to break his muscles and bones, but this young man rolled down the slope and could jump alive all night.

The side room gradually quieted down, and the old woman's whispered comfort could still be heard. The old scholar lowered his head and sighed again and again, since that day - when Dong Xiaoling left, Sanli Village has changed.

According to them, the root of everything is Dong Xiaoling.

Xiaoling is the girl of the Dong family. The girls in the village didn't like her, and the men didn't like him. said that the relatives looked down on her, and once, the naughty little doll would go around Dong Xiaoling and sing:

"The snow skin is uneven, the water is smart, there is no father, there is no father, there is no ghost, little ghost to help. Do me a favor, Erlang is crazy, go out the next time, Xiuniang is angry......"

Therefore, the people of Sanli Village felt that Dong Xiaoling was unwilling to be driven out, and he cursed the whole village.

The old scholar actually didn't understand it very much. He has read a lot of books, but he has very few contacts, and his knowledge is much shallower than that of the long-tongued woman at the entrance of the village. This is what others have said, and he himself thinks so.

So he didn't understand what was going on in Sanli Village, and he didn't want to understand.

Life can be lived like this, and life will not be tormented by the world for too long.

Since the old woman has come out, the girl must be sleeping soundly. The old woman was very tired, and when she came out, she didn't say anything when she saw the newcomer, and the room was so dark that she couldn't see who it was.

At least understand, it must be the old scholar who saved another person.

It wasn't until she was rescued by the old scholar that the only normal thing after the village was in chaos was the old scholar, and from then on, only the old scholar could be trusted and relied on.

Silently walked to the stove, and placed a cabbage underneath. Fresh.

"The last one. The old scholar glanced at her and said.

A long sigh came from under her unkempt gray hair, and she picked up the cabbage almost carefully and reverently, and reluctantly tore off the yellowish edge of the leaf. The green treasure was left against the jade-like white pole, and the old woman missed the vegetable garden she had planted in her own home.

The hope that is diligently poured out every day is now ...... There's no going back.

After such a quiet breakfast, the old scholar put on his cloth bag and decided to go out in search of food. Unlike in the past, there was an extra young man to accompany him.

That's Logan. The old scholar saved his life, and he couldn't bear to see these two old men working so hard.

The place where the old scholar lived should not be far from the place where he was separated from Ning Zhi before, and he thought that maybe he could meet Ning Zhi again. At night, I was chased by the white-haired monster, but fortunately, nothing appeared during the day.

He followed the old scholar, who didn't like to talk, and he didn't say much else.

The two walked on the path, one in front of the other. The ridges are full of withered grass, quiet, rickety, but also elegant.

The old scholar took him into a vegetable garden. The fence was built very high, and there was a farmhouse two or three times the size of an old scholar's family nearby.

The vegetable garden was trampled all over the place, and it was not easy to pick up some fresh vegetable leaves.

Luo Gan also noticed that the footprints seemed to be not long, at least not before the rain.

The old scholar saw his doubts, "Let's leave quickly, it's bad if the village chief finds out." ”

Like thieves, they quickly collected some edible vegetable leaves, and some small fruits that had been overlooked after the sweep, and the two quickly left the place.

On the way back, Luo Gan gradually realized the current situation of Sanli Village from the chat.

In other words, the village sensibly responded after the "haunting". However, due to the resistance of the villagers, the idea was not immediately implemented. By the time everyone agreed to move to the north of the village, there were only one or two hundred people left in the village.

Every night, someone dies inexplicably.

Just as winter was about to begin, food was already scarce, and Sanli Village lost most of its labor force at once, and farming was deserted not long after. There is not enough food and clothing, and only the village chief can stand up and unite everyone to tide over the difficulties at this time.

But the resistance of the villagers is, after all, that the village chief's methods are too cruel. That is abandonment.

The first group of people who had an accident were the elderly, which is why everyone thought it was cold at first, but they didn't expect the Dong family girl to curse. Gradually, after the Taoist priest surnamed Lin came to the village, they learned that this was a disaster that the whole village had to face.

The disaster came from the people surnamed Dong, but the people of the Dong family accounted for the majority of Sanli Village, so no one said anything. The anger of the people was all focused on Uncle Dong Xiaoling and the body of Dong Da Niu buried in the wasteland.

After Uncle Dong Xiaoling drowned, his children were driven outside by the villagers, and finally let themselves perish.

More than 100 people moved into a safe house in the north of the village, and the elderly were rare, women were rare, and children were rare. Sick, crippled, not to mention.

The old scholar didn't plan to move to the north of the village, but the people sent by the village chief still forcibly collected the grain he hoarded.

He kept talking to Luo Gan about this, and kept shaking his head and sighing: "They all said that it was Dong Yatou who put a curse, but why did Dong Yatou put a curse? They also said that Dong Yatou and the young man went away and flew away, and when she left, this man also helped her to curse and harm the people in her own village. Hey, hey, why?"

"It's so tragic! How could such a thing happen? Don't you have to pay the price for harming people?" Luo Gan probably knew that the people of Sanli Village not only hated Dong Xiaoling, but also angered the young man who left with Dong Xiaoling that day, that is, him, Luo Gan.

"Yes, harm others and yourself, and pay for your debts with blood! But I don't think Dong Yatou is like that kind of person! Although the rumors and rumors over the years ......"

"How can the little girl know so much?

The old scholar paused, retreated to Luo Gan's side in two steps, and turned a few times in his stomach with a word, and then said slowly: "It is said that the fox spirit transforms, and men will love when they see it, and women will hate when they see it." ”

"Vixen! That's scary—but there aren't any foxes in this area. ”

"Well, actually, the most important thing is ......" The old scholar's face gradually turned red, "After the adult of the Dong family died unexpectedly, there were many ruffians who coveted the girl of the Dong family. However, go to one, go crazy one. I heard, I heard - the eldest lady next door to their house, when she got up at night, she saw the yellow-haired hooligan in the village standing under the window of Dong's house and laughing, and she went crazy and wanted to hang herself the next day. It's been several years, so ah, no one dared to go to Dong's house later. ”

"This is also not with good intentions. I'm just wondering, could it be that Dong Xiaoling would do such a thing to Sanli Village because of this?" Ning Zhi said that it was related to the Ghost Altar, but when she asked Dong Xiaoling about it that day, she didn't know anything about the Ghost Altar at all.

"I'm weird too!"

As he spoke, he arrived at the old scholar's house. Luo Gan was wondering when he suddenly heard a scream.
