Volume 100 Wonders of the Village
"Haunted?" Everyone laughed a little at this answer.
"It's true, everyone has gone to avoid trouble because of this, and a few of us were chosen by everyone to guard the village. The leading man hurriedly explained.
"Oh, tell me the ins and outs of the matter. Xingyun said slowly.
"Things have to start from a month ago, at that time everyone was still living normally in the village, but then there were a few families in the kitchen food disappeared, at first everyone thought it was taken away by a cat or dog, and did not care too much; , So the people in the village gathered together to discuss countermeasures, and finally everyone was ready to catch the thief, but after everyone waited for several nights and found nothing, but there was no theft in those days, but when everyone relaxed, eating something began to be lost again, and it became more and more weird, at first it was just to lose the food made in the kitchen, but later as long as it was eaten, whether it was cooked or not, it would be gone! Some people even emptied the granary, but for so long everyone has not even seen a shadow of a thief, and there are several villages nearby, but they have nothing to do, only our village has this situation, so some people rumored that the village is haunted, and the more it spreads, everyone began to be afraid, so they left the village one after another, and now only a few of us are brave enough to stay and guard the village. The leading man explained the whole story in detail.
"Oh, that's fresh. Ming Xuan was immediately interested, he had never seen such a strange thing.
"There should be a dog in the village, is it possible that the house has been stolen, and the dog has never barked?" Xingyun was old and spicy, and quickly grasped some details of the problem.
"No, I've never called it! It's quiet at night. "This is also a phenomenon that everyone thinks is weird.
"When the villagers go to their relatives, they naturally don't bring the dogs over, why don't there be any dogs in the village, where did they go?" Ming Xuan immediately asked.
"The six of us stayed behind to guard the village, but soon we ran out of food, so we ...... So he ate all the dogs in the village, and in the past few days, even the money on his body has been spent, so he has a crooked idea, wanting to rob and get some money to eat, who ......knows," the man said curtly.
"Did you just lose food in the village, did you lose anything else?" Xingyun continued to ask after thinking for a moment.
"No, it's just food, raw and cooked, but nothing else, not even money!" replied the man.
"Have you ever seen anything anomalous before? Xingyun continued to ask.
"Nothing, except for throwing things, the village is no different from usual, or we wouldn't dare to stay in the village. The man was also puzzled.
"Why is it so weird, could there really be a ghost?" Hearing so many unexplainable questions, Yi Jing unconsciously classified it as a ghost.
"The sky is blue and the sun is bright, how can there be such filth, even if there is really one, then it will not be as simple as just throwing things. Ming Xuan said in a loud voice, expelling the fear in Yi Jing's heart.
"Even if there is a ghost, it is a starving ghost, and there is nothing to be afraid of. "At any time, Xingyun looks like he doesn't care.
"Uncle Shi, what should we do then?" Things were too weird, and Ming Xuan had no clue.
"Mingxuan, you send the two girls to a nearby town to rest, the two of us will spend the night here tonight, and come to meet this starving ghost for a while. Xingyun said with a smile.
"Uncle Shi wants to check it out?" Ming Xuan's eyes lit up, which was exactly what he wanted.
"We are cultivators, so we naturally have to solve problems for the people, and we must not stand idly by when we encounter such things. Xingyun Zhengse said that he would definitely investigate this matter, clear the disaster, and let the people in the village live and work in peace and contentment again.
"Okay, I'll buy some more delicious food in the town by the way, and I'll meet him!" Ming Xuan's mind was delicate, and his mind was also spinning quickly.
"Dao Chief, I'll stay! I'm also a cultivator, and it's my duty!" From entering the village until now, Xu Xinchen has been very calm.
"Then I...... I'm going to stay too!" Yi Jing also hurriedly responded, everyone is here, she lives alone in the town, but she is more afraid.
"Okay then, let's stay in this Xiaoyang village for a night!" Seeing that the two of them looked firm, Xingyun didn't say much.
"My house is big, how many people can live in my house!" Seeing that several people were willing to find out the reason, and they seemed to be quite skilled, the men were overjoyed.
"Okay, then please go to the town to buy more wine and food and come back for dinner, and let's look around." Xingyun took out some money and handed it to the man.
After the six of them left, everyone began to investigate.
"Xin Chen went up to the roof to see if there were any strange traces, walked around the streets of Yijing to see if there was anything different, Ming Xuan went into the house to check, and I went around the vicinity of the village. Xingyun divided the four of them into work and immediately took action.
Everyone is a person with martial arts, and the village is not big, they are in sight of each other, and they can take care of each other, so there is nothing going on, and everyone immediately investigates carefully.
An hour later, everyone met again in the old place and told each other about their discoveries.
"The roofs of the houses in the village are made of straw, which have aged due to years of exposure to the wind and sun, but there are no special traces. Xu Xinchen said first.
"The streets are just some ordinary bottles and cans, nothing different. "Yi Jing also found nothing.
"Because of the fear, people were in a hurry to leave, so there was some messiness in the house, which could not provide useful clues, and I also focused on the kitchen and the granary, and there were no traces of non-human signs, which was really surprising. Ming Xuan also frowned.
"It's normal when there are no human traces, what's so surprising about that?" Yi Jing asked puzzled.
"If something is really stolen, then there will still be traces to follow, but now there is no at all, if it is stolen by someone, how can it not be discovered by the villagers for so long?"
"Daoist, what have you discovered?" asked Xu Xinchen.
"To the south of the village is the direction we came in, to the north and west of the village are the nearby villages, and to the east is a small hill, and if there is a vision, it is likely to come from here. Xingyun pointed to this rolling hill and said in a deep voice, he didn't have anything else to discover.
"Then what the hell is going on?" Seeing that everyone had nothing to gain, Ming Xuan couldn't help but fall into thought.
"Don't think about him yet, since you don't have a clue, it will only make you think more and more chaotic, it's better to relax and wait until the evening to know. Xingyun still looked so calm.
After dinner, Xingyun didn't let the six people stay, after all, if something really happened, they would become a burden here, and the four stayed at the man's house.
"There's so much food left here, it should be attractive enough. Ming Xuan said as he checked the rest of the food in his hand.
"Everything that can be eaten in this village has been scraped up, and if it really comes, it will not miss it. For this, Xingyun is very sure.
"Then I'll have to take a good look at it then!" Ming Xuan was even more excited when he encountered this kind of novelty.
"Could it really be a ghost?" Yi Jing was always a little unrelieved.
"Don't worry, don't do anything bad for others, don't be shocked when you knock on the door in the middle of the night, as long as you don't scare yourself, there is nothing to fear. Ming Xuan said with relief.
"But I've done a lot of bad things! When I was a child, I often teased people, sometimes I lost my temper and beat them, and I also had a lot of foreign disciples when I was in Liuyun Valley! What can I do!" Yi Jing is still a child, not to say that it's okay, as soon as she said that she was seated, she immediately became flustered, and everyone felt a chill when she heard it.
"Those are little pranks, they don't count as evil, don't worry. Xu Xinchen said softly, calming Yijing.
"Oh, don't talk about these boring things, I'll tell you some interesting things I encountered on the rivers and lakes!" Seeing that the atmosphere was a little dull, Xingyun said with a big grin, and immediately talked about some interesting things he encountered.
"It's not too early, Miss Xu, why don't you take Yijing back to the room to rest first, and we will inform you if there is a situation." In the laughter, time always flies, Yi Jing couldn't bear it, and fell asleep directly on the table.
"Okay then, I'll take Yijing to rest first. Xu Xinchen himself couldn't open his eyes.
"Every time something is stolen, it's in the dead of night, and it looks like we're going to have to hold on. After Xu Xinchen returned to the room, Xingyun said encouragingly.
"But we have to go back to the room, and if we keep guarding it like this, I don't think he will come. Ming Xuan pondered for a moment and said.
"That's right, I was a little selfless in telling the joke just now, so let's go back to the room and keep an eye on it. Xingyun slapped the back of his head and said.
So Ming Xuan and Xing Yun also entered the room, but they didn't rest, they just turned off the lights and stayed quietly, Ming Xuan put the food in the kitchen, which was quite close to the room, if there was some movement, he was confident that he couldn't escape his ears.
After waiting for a long time, it was almost late at night, and the surroundings were already quiet, Mingxuan was a little sleepy, but fortunately, the two stayed together, supervising each other to refresh themselves, but they had been concentrating and did not relax.
When the time was ugly, suddenly an extremely slight sound came, and they immediately drove away the sleepiness of the two, and they both pricked up their ears and concentrated their attention.
I've been waiting for so long!
