Chapter 69: The Lonely Village
Li Yanliang and others searched for a day, but they didn't find a sea of flowers, but they found a small village with more than ten families. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ο½ο½ο½Uο½Eγ ο½ο½ο½ο½
It was evening, and a few people were about to find a place to stay, so they led their horses and walked on the path, which was deserted and there was no one in sight. More than a dozen families in the village all live in thatched houses, and Li Yanliang saw that these thatched houses were too small to accommodate the four of them, so he prepared to camp outside the village.
They also brought tents along the way, after all, the distance was long.
Just as they were about to leave, a boy who looked to be five or six years old walked out of a nearby thatched hut.
The boy ran up to them and asked, "Are you from the east or from the west?"
The kid suddenly asked this question, and several people were a little confused. Li Yanliang opened his mouth and replied, "We are from the east, why are you asking this?"
"Hmph, we don't welcome people from the east in our village, so let's go!" The child snorted coldly, and his attitude changed too quickly, and when he heard that several people were coming from the east, he immediately made a look of displeasure, turned around and ran back to the thatched hut, and did not see the adults come out.
"What's the matter with this kid?" Lori said, puzzled.
The old man had a calm face and said in a deep voice: "If we come from the east, we must pass through the death post. Maybe this kid didn't welcome us just now because of this. β
"Speaking of the death post, I found that the kid just now didn't look like a normal person, didn't you notice his abnormality?" Li Yanliang asked the three people around him.
Ah Meng said: "I also found out that the child's face was extremely bloody just now, and he looked malnourished, and he looked like a sick seedling. β
Just as a few people were talking, the boy just now pushed open the door of the thatched hut and shouted at Li Yanliang and the others: "Why don't you leave, if our whole village finds out that you are from the east, you can't leave if you want to!"
The boy spoke in a very impulsive tone, and looked impatient.
"Okay, let's go now. Li Yanliang would not be bored to argue with a little child, he led the horse and just turned around to leave, and suddenly turned around, and found that the child was still looking at him in front of the door, so he asked loudly: "Before leaving, I want to ask you a question, is there a place to raise flowers near you?"
The child was stunned for a moment, then burst out laughing, and said in a mocking tone: "You are a good-looking person, but you are a fool when you don't expect it. Except for an old tree growing in that place within a radius of hundreds of miles, how can there be any plants?"
"Why are you so rude, where are the adults in your family, how did they educate you?" Lori said to the boy, crossing her waist.
The child pointed at Lori and smiled: "You are also a little brat, what qualifications do you have to laugh at me?"
The boy and Lori quarreled, Li Yanliang and Lao Wang glanced at each other, showing a look of understanding between each other, the two turned around, looked at the boy at the same time, and asked the boy in unison: "Since there are no plants, how do the people in your village survive?"
When the two of them asked him this, the boy was obviously a little panicked, and said calmly: "It's our ability to survive, can you manage it?"
"There's something wrong with this village. Ah Meng muttered.
Li Yanliang glanced at the more than ten thatched houses in the village, frowned slightly, and said: "Let's go and set up a tent outside the village tonight to sleep, this village is very weird, but it has nothing to do with us, so it's better to provoke less." β
In this way, a few people set up tents outside the village and ate some dry food bought on the road.
Lori and Ah Meng both got into the tent and fell asleep, Li Yanliang and Lao Wang stood outside the tent looking in the direction of the village, talking. The golden retriever ran around the front and back of the tent, entertaining himself and having a good time.
Li Yanliang said. "It's less than five miles from the inn, and people from the village can go there to exchange food. Perhaps our suspicions are unnecessary. β
Lao Wang shook his head and said: "His Royal Highness the Prince has ignored the most important point, looking at the child's attitude, he should be very disgusted or afraid of the place of the death post, and from here to the post station, you must also pass through the death post." β
Li Yanliang shook his head and said: "You can't go to the post station in the east, you can also go to the west, it's not a desperate situation here." β
Lao Wang said: "But when we asked the boy how the people in the village survived without plants and food, he was very panicked, which explained the problem. β
"That's where I wondered, and the kid was always communicating with us, and his parents didn't show up, which is the most suspicious place. And it's next to the death hill, and I always feel that the whole village is filled with an eerie sense of oppression, which makes people feel very uncomfortable. Speaking of this, Li Yanliang suddenly frowned, glanced behind him, and whispered to Lao Wang: "We were entangled in dirty things, and I was too careless along the way." Before, I thought that because of the proximity to the death post, there was always a yin qi around us, but when I got here, the yin qi was still unabated, which means that something has entangled us. β
Lao Wang looked at Li Yanliang and asked, "Since it has been discovered, what has His Highness decided to do?"
Li Yanliang said: "Whether it is a human or a ghost, as long as it does not provoke me, I will not provoke it, if it offends me, I will punish it." β
"His Royal Highness the Prince of the World is young and promising, and it is naturally easy to deal with some lonely souls and wild ghosts. The old man rested first, and His Highness should rest early. The king returned to the tent.
Li Yanliang brought a total of four tents with him, but only two tents were used along the way. Li Yanliang and Lao Wang live in a tent, Lori, Ah Meng and the painting soul lived together, but now the painting soul is gone, so Ah Meng and Lori live together.
watched Lao Wang return to the tent, while Li Yanliang was still standing outside. Although he was not afraid of the lonely ghosts, he had to guard against them, because he was the only one of the four who could deal with them. Although Lori has brute strength, it has no effect on the ethereal soul body, not to mention Ah Meng and Lao Wang.
The golden retriever was tired of running near the tent, so he returned to Li Yanliang and guarded with Li Yanliang.
"Golden Retriever, what kind of treasure did you say was this axe I was carrying, it killed Yun Qing, but now it is guarding Yun Qing an inch, what is it going to do?" Li Yanliang looked down at the golden retriever lying beside him, asking it and pondering.
The golden retriever roared, and Li Yanliang couldn't understand what it was saying, so he shook his head and smiled, secretly sighing that he was so naΓ―ve.
