Chapter 2 Deserted Village
In order to avoid attracting people's eyes before, Ye Han had already taken out the spirit fruit and spirit wine from the 'Yueshui Ring', so as soon as he opened the door, whether it was the eight or nine-year-old child or this aunt, his eyes couldn't help but look at Ye Han's hands, and his eyes, which were originally godless, immediately had some brilliance.
"Come in. Some hoarse voices came out of the aunt's mouth, and when she spoke, she turned sideways to let Ye Han and Haitang in.
The whole room was not large, it could almost be said to be a home, and there was nothing else in the house except for a yellowed and dirty square table.
At a glance, he directly saw a bed in the wall, and just after entering it, a damp smell came, Ye Han didn't feel anything, after all, the conditions he had lived in since he was a child were much more difficult than this.
Begonia couldn't help frowning slightly, but compared to the majestic rain outside, he still didn't say anything, the room was very quiet, and the rain outside was constant, if it wasn't for the environment in the room being very bad, Begonia felt a little bit of artistic conception.
In this room, in addition to an aunt and children, there is an old man half-lying on the bed, and there is no man in the house.
Ye Han didn't say anything, and directly put the few spirit fruits he took out in his hand on the table, these spirit fruits were all things that contained abundant spiritual energy, which might not be of much help to monks of their realm, but for ordinary people like them, it definitely had a lot of benefits.
The aunt looked at the glamorous Begonia and Ye Han, and seemed to have a gentle expression and was very easy to speak, so the color of vigilance was much weaker.
The aunt hurriedly took out two stools, afraid that Ye Han and Haitang would dislike them, and wiped them.
The eight- or nine-year-old boy had already stared at the spirit fruits, and after getting the consent of his mother's eyes, he immediately picked up a cyan fruit and gnawed it, looking very happy.
"Auntie, there's no one else in the house. After sitting down, Ye Han asked softly, after all, this deserted village looks very strange at the moment.
After the aunt was busy with everything, she took a fruit and handed it to the old man, so she took one herself and nibbled on it, while replying to Ye Han's words.
"The child's father died the year before last, and the family has no income and little food. ”
After hearing this, Ye Han glanced out the window, the heavy rain was majestic, and his vision was already not clear, I don't know why, Ye Han always felt a little uneasy in his heart, after all, the environment of this village was too depressing.
It seemed that it had been too long since he had eaten such a delicious thing, and the only remaining spirit fruit was quickly eaten by the child.
"It's not like that's the case in our family, most of the families in the village have died of their fathers. The eight- or nine-year-old boy seemed to be talking unintentionally, but was glared at by his mother.
This instantly aroused Ye Han's vigilance, but on the surface, he was unmoved, and at the same time quietly took out a few spirit fruits from the 'Yueshui Ring' and put them on the table again, while he himself took out a pot of spirit wine called 'Apricot Blossom Brewing'.
Begonia glanced at it, and immediately poured it for Ye Han with interest, and at this time, Begonia naturally found some clues, after all, this village has been revealing strangeness everywhere from the beginning.
"Auntie, what's the situation, this situation in your village is very serious?"
Ye Han asked casually, while taking a sip of apricot blossom brew, the fragrance of apricot blossoms asked, spread throughout the room, the child seemed to be a little greedy, but this spirit wine, Ye Han naturally would not give him a drink. The aunt was a little silent for a while, and then sighed, "I don't know what evil this village has created, before there were five dead people, and then after a Taoist priest came, this situation is a lot, but even so, there are dead people, but the frequency is much slower, the important thing is that the Taoist priest wants a lot of things, and the whole village is almost exploited, so it is so poor now." ”
After the aunt finished speaking, she sighed a little helplessly, and then continued to speak, "I don't think you two are ordinary people, wait for the rain to stop and leave quickly, so as not to cause trouble." ”
Ye Han's expression suddenly became a little serious, it must be extraordinary for people to die often, and there are naturally strange things in this village, he glanced back at Begonia, and saw Begonia also looking at him with beautiful eyes.
"That Taoist priest is amazing, we have seen him perform spells with our own eyes, so the people in the village are very convinced of them. ”
At this time, the child continued to speak, Ye Han had a few points in his heart, a Taoist priest, a frequent death, must be related.
At this time, Ye Han laughed, and secretly took out some spirit fruits from the 'Yueshui Ring'.
"Auntie, I have some for you here, I see that this heavy rain will definitely not stop for a while, so I have to delay some time. ”
The aunt's eyes lit up immediately, although she didn't know what this fruit of different colors was, it tasted sweet, and after eating it, she was refreshed, and her whole body was very comfortable.
So, while the aunt took the spirit fruit, she hurriedly said unkindly.
"Auntie, can you tell us about the specific things in this village, when did people start dying in the village, after all, it's not a matter if people continue to die like this. ”
At this time, after touching her hair, Haitang pretended to ask casually.
The aunt's expression immediately became vigilant again, "Who are you, I always inquire about the situation in the village." ”
"Don't be excited, Auntie, we were passing by here, and we just heard what you said, so we want to know about it and see if there is anything that can help you, after all, it's not good to be able to live without dying. ”
Ye Han waved his hand and signaled his aunt not to get excited.
The aunt's expression was also complicated, and then her eyes were a little sad, after all, her man and eldest son were dead, and the death was so unclear, but how could she be in the village as a woman, and most of the other families were in a similar situation.
"Of course it's good not to die, but my eldest son and men are dead, I don't care, I can't let my youngest son have three long and two short. ”
"Auntie, tell me about the situation, let's see if there is a way. Seeing that the aunt's mood seemed to fluctuate a little, Ye Han continued to speak while the iron was hot.
After hesitating again and again, the aunt finally loosened, anyway, the dead horse is regarded as a live horse doctor, and it doesn't matter if there is a way or not, and now living in this deserted village, almost all of them are very numb.
"If you don't have the ability, just take it as a story, and leave after the rain stops, after all, this will cost people's lives, and even such a powerful Taoist priest in the village can't deal with it for so long. ”
"Don't worry, we're not ordinary people, and it's definitely more than enough to deal with ordinary troubles. ”
Ye Han smiled, looking confident, in the past, Ye Han was naturally unwilling to meddle in things, but now this matter is a matter of human life.
In addition, the purpose of this trip is to experience, so naturally you have to take care of it, after all, experience is to experience everything.
"I know, are you also the legendary cultivator immortals, able to fly to the sky. The eight or nine-year-old child, who was originally immersed in nibbling on the spirit fruit, immediately screamed excitedly when he heard this.
Ye Han suddenly pursed his lips and said with a smile, "Immortals are not just human cultivators. ”
Subsequently, Ye Han and Haitang's mouths immediately learned about this incident, and it turned out that this matter had to start from more than ten years.
At that time, although the village was remote, it was not as close as it is now, and the days were very prosperous, and the village was huge and had a large number of people, so it was naturally happy and harmonious.
It's just that the good times didn't last long, after a majestic rain, lightning and thunder, the village began to die, and as time went by, this situation also intensified, and the dead almost looked very miserable and terrifying.
Most of these people were men, and they were all strong laborers in the village, so it didn't take long for the whole village to decline, and gradually evolved into this.
But women have nothing to do for so many years, they were all young men before they died, and then a Taoist priest who traveled all over the world came, so he violated the mountain god here, so he needed to fill his life with people.
He can help the villagers solve this problem, but at the end of each year, two lives need to be sacrificed, and only children will come.
The whole village went through the previous incident, and the young man died, so even so, he promised the Taoist priest to come down, after all, in this case, the villagers still have a way to live after all, and the two lives at the end of the year were also solved by drawing lots.
Although what the aunt said was even a little vague, at least Ye Han and Haitang finally figured out the cause and effect of the matter.
No wonder the villagers in this village are so wary of strangers, obviously for this disaster-ridden village, they can no longer withstand a little toss, and being able to survive is the only sustenance for these villagers.
After listening to the cause and effect of the matter, Haitang was already angry, his chest was rising and falling slightly, and Ye Han's face was like frost, at the moment Ye Han frowned, and said directly in a deep voice.
"It's just nonsense, the mountain god will also protect a piece of land, where will it harm his own foundation, I think most of this thing is a ghost made by this Taoist priest in the back!"
Ye Han's words frightened this aunt a lot, after all, the women's Taoist family has no knowledge, and the people in this village already believe in that Taoist as a god, so listening to Ye Han's words, where do you dare to speak up.
"I think nine times out of ten, this is to bully these villagers to be ignorant, I think most of them are their own opinions on some unsightly evil exercises, so they hide in this barren mountain, otherwise those villagers would not be so strange in death. ”
Begonia's character is that she can't rub sand in her eyes, and on the way to escape from Yanzhou from Liuzhou, she didn't forget to see the unevenness of the road, so she naturally won't let this matter go.
At the moment, after understanding the cause and effect of the matter, Ye Han and Haitang are not asking anything like that aunt, after all, since the matter has been figured out, it is natural to go to the Taoist priest tomorrow, after all, this matter is definitely inseparable from this Taoist priest.
Tomorrow, as soon as the heavy rain stops, you can go to meet this Taoist priest for a while to see how powerful it is, but according to Ye Han's guess, most of those who practice the exercises and run into this kind of barren mountain are not powerful, otherwise they will not run to this barren mountain to show off their might, which one of the really powerful monks is not famous?
