Chapter 315: Strange Village
Although Lu Xiaofeng was tricked by the child, but seeing that it was getting late, he could only follow him to the village, this village is not big, close to a towering cliff and repaired, and thick walls were built on three sides, Lu Xiaofeng asked, "Why is this village so strangely repaired, why is there still a city wall?"
Where would an ordinary village have such a thick city wall? Where would the villagers have the money to build the city wall? Besides, what was the purpose of building the city wall? To prevent bandits? It is possible, but no matter how powerful the bandits are, they have never seen a village build such a thick city wall to ward off the enemy?
Before the child could answer, two men with five big and three thick men walked out from both sides, and when they saw the child, they shouted, "Huzi, why did you sneak out to play again?"
It turned out that this child's name was Huzi, he looked at the two men, and said seriously, "Where am I going to play, I went to the village to sentry." ”
One of the men said, "Okay, well, you're sentry, you're amazing, but how did you bring back two strangers? Have you forgotten what the master said? What else can you do besides causing trouble all the time?"
Huzi was not convinced, and said, "You only know that Mingzhe protects himself, think about it, it's getting late, where do you let these two people rest? This radius of dozens of miles, there is no family, you adults always like to say one thing and do another, you often educate us with benevolence, righteousness and morality, but the master said, the benevolent, the center is happy to love others, the blessings of the people who are pleasing to the people, and the woe of the wicked; what is the last resort of the heart is not to seek its retribution." Therefore, it is said, 'Shangren has nothing to do for it', how can you turn these two people away, stay in the wilderness, and what should you do if you encounter a fierce beast?"
The two men were speechless by Huzi's words, looking at each other, not knowing what to do, Lu Xiaofeng stepped forward and arched his hands, and said with a smile, "Two, I and this villager are originally from Jinling, and we went to southern Sichuan to visit relatives, passing by here, and seeing that it was getting late, I don't know if I can stay here for the night?"
Seeing that Lu Xiaofeng was polite, the two men looked at each other and said, "Cheng, however, we have to report to the master." ”
Lu Xiaofeng smiled and said, "Of course!"
Then, one of the men stepped forward and said to Huzi, "Let's go, let's go and report to the master." ”
Huzi said unconvinced, "Just go, who is afraid of whom!"
As he spoke, one tall and one short, one big and one small, walked towards the village while talking.
Lu Xiaofeng and Zhao Yangcheng stood at the mouth of the city wall, looked around and looked, only to see that there are not many households in this village, no more than 20 houses, the buildings built by these 20 families are poor, take a closer look, the inside is completely distributed according to the gossip array, each family is a single body, but it is a whole, as long as you shout, each household can hear clearly, and you can meet together in the blink of an eye.
At this time, the sun has set on the other side of the mountain, and the black mountain behind the mountain is particularly tall and terrifying, Lu Xiaofeng looked at this mountain, remembered the cliffs of the Valley of Despair, and remembered the back mountain of the Jinling Prefect's Yamen, and couldn't help but feel a little chill in his back, will this mountain be as mysterious and unpredictable as the first two? Why is the construction of this village in the form of gossip? Lu Xiaofeng's heart has all kinds of doubts imprinted in his heart.
Lu Xiaofeng smiled and said to the man guarding the guard, "I don't know what your master's surname is, what is the name of this village?"
The man smiled politely and said, "You have to ask the master about this!"
Lu Xiaofeng obviously ate the soft nails, this gatekeeper, not arrogant, not impatient, neither humble nor arrogant, neither rude, but also rejected his question, so that he was not suspicious, from the child who was less than ten years old, to the man who came here to watch the door, and then looked at the thick and high walls of the village, the location of the village, the construction of buildings, all of this kind of everything, all show that this is not a simple village, all of this is one, everything is not accidental.
Just when Lu Xiaofeng was puzzled, Huzi came happily and said to Lu Xiaofeng, "Lu Xiaoji, the master let the two of you in." ”
Lu Xiaofeng shook his head and said, "This young master, it's obvious that you guessed the wrong word, why are you still calling me Lu Xiaoji, my name is Lu Xiaofeng." ”
Huzi led the way forward, and said, "Call you Lu Xiaoji, just Lu Xiaoji, what's wrong with this, it doesn't matter if the name is ugly, it's just a code name, as long as someone calls you Lu Xiaoji, you know it's your name." ”
When Lu Xiaofeng heard this, although he was unhappy in his heart, he thought about it seriously and felt that this was the reason, so he could only follow him, while walking, recording the way he came, and looking at the buildings everywhere.
There seemed to be no one in this village, Lu Xiaofeng and Zhao Yang regretted all the way, and they didn't see any living creatures, and they were a little scared in their hearts.
The dark mountains behind them kept approaching them, no, they kept moving towards the mountain, and they clearly saw that this place was clearly made of axes and machetes, not dragging mud and water, looking up at the cliff, making people dizzy, making people feel scared, worried that the cliff would fall down if they were not careful.
Zhao Yang regretted that he was living in the dark mountains behind the prefect of Jinling, but when she saw this strange mountain village, she couldn't help but be afraid, she gently pulled Lu Xiaofeng, ready to say something, Lu Xiaofeng shook her head and stopped her from talking.
At this time, Huzi said, "You remember, where the master asks you to rest for a while, you will rest there, don't walk around in the village, once you are identified by the villagers as bandits and thieves, you will be finished." ”
Lu Xiaofeng smiled and asked, "Master, why is there no one in your village?"
Huzi turned around and looked at Lu Xiaofeng strangely, and said, "How do you say that there is no one in the village? There are people everywhere here, can't you see it?"
Lu Xiaofeng looked around in astonishment, there was really no one, he shuddered a little, what kind of place is this village? Why did Huzi say that there were people everywhere? Could this be a ghost village?
Lu Xiaofeng couldn't help but think of the legend of "ghosts", ghosts are invisible to the naked eye, no wonder this place is eerie and terrifying as soon as you come in.
Zhao Yangxian tightly pressed Lu Xiaofeng's hand, his heart was pounding, Huzi turned around and continued to lead the way forward, at this time Lu Xiaofeng and Zhao Yangcheng carefully looked at the child leading the way in front of them, only to see that he was wearing a robe, a snow-white dress, covering his entire body, and he couldn't see his steps.
The more they looked at it, the more frightened they became, whether this child was a human or a ghost? Why did he walk so lightly? Thinking of his strange behavior at the head of the village, they became more and more frightened.
By this time they had passed through a dozen or so houses, and came to a tall stone house, which was very strange, with a low wall, the door outside the wall was slightly open, and the courtyard inside was very empty, and the towering stone house in the shape of a round castle, windowless on all sides, two wide black lacquered iron doors were closed, and the conical roof rose so high that it exceeded the height of all the houses in the village.
Huzi walked to the door of the courtyard wall and said, "Please, two! The master is waiting for you in the house, and I can only send you here." ”
As he spoke, Chong Lu Xiaofeng and Zhao Yang regretted smiling, and disappeared in a blink of an eye.
Lu Xiaofeng was about to step into the courtyard, but Zhao Yang regretted squeezing him tightly and shook his head coldly.
Lu Xiaofeng smiled and said, "Let's go, if you come, you will be safe!"
But I don't know what will happen to Lu Xiaofeng and Zhao Yang when they come to this strange village, and if you want to know what will happen next, please see the next decomposition! )
