Chapter 18: Strange things in the mountain village are suspicious, and the truth is revealed in the middle of the night

The willows support the wind, the flowers are delicate, the cooking smoke is curling, and the water is clear and the sky is blue.

Duan Tian and Li Shishi have been on the road for a few days and have now arrived at Yujia Village.

"How far is the fishing village from the Taishan Conference?" Li Shishi wiped her sweat and said breathlessly.

"There's a fisherman's house ahead, waiting for me to inquire. Duan Tian turned to Li Shishi and said.

I saw a fisherman in the distance, dressed in a hat, fishing on the riverside. Duan Tian said and walked over.

"Old man, excuse me, how far is it from Mount Tai?" Duan Tian lowered his body and asked.

"Shhhh The fisherman turned around slightly and signaled to Duan Tian to be quiet.

"Hooked, hooked!hahaha!" the fisherman raised the rod, a carp, and Gao Xiang shouted.

The fisherman's bar fish was taken down and placed in a bamboo basket. Then turn around and Duan Tian.

"What did you just say, young man?" The fisherman asked.

"Oh, just now I wanted to ask my senior, how far is it from Tarzan here?" Duan Tian Shili said.

"To Mount Tai, there are still one hundred and fifty miles. The fisherman said.

"Listen to the accent, you're from out of town, right?" The fisherman continued.

"Oh, yes old-timers. Duan Tian replied with a smile.

"There is only one village within a radius of dozens of miles, and now that the day is halfway through, you don't have to hurry. There is a shop in the village called 'Suiyuan Inn'. You can stay for the night, and by the way, don't go out at night. After saying this, the fisherman went on fishing, and waved his hand to signal them to leave.

Duan Tian was confused when he heard this, and he didn't know why, so he thought about it and walked towards Li Shishi.

"Duan Tian, did you ask clearly?" Li Shishi asked Duan Tian.

Because Duan Tian was still immersed in the words of the fisherman just now, he didn't react for a while.

"Duan Tian, what do you want?" Li Shishi stretched out her arm and shook it in front of Duan Tian's eyes.

"Oh, I just asked the fisherman, there are still one hundred and fifty miles, and we are now at the fisherman's village. Duan Tian reacted and replied hurriedly.

"What are you thinking?" Li Shishi asked puzzled.

"I'm thinking about what the fisherman just said. Duan Tian replied.

"What did he say?" Li Shishi continued to ask.

He said that there was only one village within a radius of dozens of miles, and now that the day was halfway through, we should not hurry. There is a shop in the village called 'Suiyuan Inn'. We can accommodate for one night, and remember not to go out at night. Don't you think it's weird?" Duan Tian said.

"What's so strange about that, although the mountains and rivers are beautiful here, it is also sparsely populated, and it is normal for mountain beasts to haunt at night. Li Shishi explained.

"Well, maybe, then let's go find the 'Suiyuan Inn' first. I'll be on my way early tomorrow morning. Duan Tian said to Li Shishi.

Li Shishi nodded, and the two walked towards the fishing village.

Although the fishing village is only a small mountain village, there are not many households in his village, which is the size of a market.

When they came to the village, they were in a hurry, and what was even more strange was that there was not a single child on the street. The two of them had already come to the street in the middle of the village, and the two of them had already been in front of the 'Suiyuan Inn'. Saying that, Duan Tian and Li Shishi walked into the store.

The store was very cold, the store was an old woman, maybe the business was too cold, so she fell asleep on the counter alone.

Duan Tian walked towards the counter and gently patted the old woman, who suddenly woke up.

"You're a guest, are you eating or staying in a hotel?" The old woman hurriedly got up and greeted them.

"We want to eat first and stay later. Duan Tian said.

"Okay, okay, if you want to eat, I'll do it for you. The old woman said.

Duan Tian and Li Shishi casually ordered some food and ate it.

At this time, I talked to the store every day.

"Shopkeeper, why aren't there any children in your village?" Duan Tian asked puzzled.

"It's not a local person, and recently there are often some strange things happening in our village, and we have lost several children, and we haven't found them for several days. So during the day, the adults went to the fields to farm, and the children were locked in the house and not allowed to go out. In addition, recently, there will be a fire shadow shaking on the hill outside the village at night, and some people say that the feng shui in the village is not only a problem, but also a ghost. Everyone closed the windows and locked the doors at night, and no one dared to go out. A few days ago, a feng shui master came to the village, and the villagers pooled money to let the master help us exorcise evil spirits, but after a few days, those fires and ghosts appeared again, and the master said that we don't have enough money to honor the gods, so let's continue to make money, they are all villagers who are farming, how can we have so much money?" The shopkeeper carefully lowered his voice and said to Duan Tian and Li Shishi.

"So has anyone been to the back mountain?" Duan Tian continued to ask. Li Shishi also nodded and asked.

"There was a man in the village named Niu Zhuang, and people called him Niu Daring, and he went, but never came back.

"Oh, what's the matter? So you haven't been looking for him?" Duan Tian said.

"Niu Daring is a bachelor in our village, his parents died when he was young, and there are no relatives in the family, so no one wants to look for him. The shopkeeper shook his head and said.

Duan Tian shook his head when he heard this, and did not continue to ask.

But the words of the proprietress kept lingering in his ears, and he did not believe in any ghosts, so he decided to go and find out at night.

After eating, the two went to their rooms to rest. Since I've been in a hurry for the last few days, I haven't had a good rest.

So the two of them fell asleep not long after they arrived at the guest room.

By the time Duan Tian woke up, the sky had gradually darkened. Duan Tian was stunned for a moment, stretched his waist and got up.

Duan Tian cautiously came downstairs, and when he saw that the store was not there, he slowly opened the door bolt, and then carefully closed the door and walked towards the street.

Although it was late in the evening, the streets were unusually quiet, and the doors of the houses were locked, and even the lights were not added. Duan Tian was walking, a gust of wind blew, and Duan Tian felt a cold current pass by him, and he didn't feel shivering.

Today, the shopkeeper said that there was a fire shadow shaking on the hill behind, where was it? Duan Tian hugged his arms and thought about walking. Walking alone on the street for a while, seeing that there was nothing unusual, and sleepiness was coming, he was ready to go back to sleep.

Just as Duan Tian was about to return to the inn, he suddenly there was really a fire shadow shaking on the hill behind the inn.

Duan Tian settled down, and the sleepiness just now was swept away. He followed the direction of the firelight.

The mountain road was rugged, and Duan Tian walked all the way, and his body was scratched by tree branches, but he didn't give up when his eyes were close to the fire.

After crossing the last small ravine, and finally came to the firelight, Duan Tian cautiously leaned against the back of a rock, and then looked towards the firelight.

It turned out that the so-called fires were just a few small fires.

I saw the two of them drinking on a rock.

"Big brother, we've made a lot of money this time. We're so rich now, why don't we divide it up and leave?" I saw a burly man say to a man in a Taoist uniform next to him.

"You're stupid. Won't we be able to go now? Knock them out again and leave again. Saying that, the Taoist priest looked like a treacherous smile.

"Big brother, you're still shrewd. The two looked at each other and laughed.

"Then, big brother, what are we going to do with those children in the cave behind?" The burly man asked the Taoist priest.

"We'll let them go when we're gone, we don't have the money to support them. After speaking, the Taoist priest picked up the wine glass and drank it with another person.

"Okay, everything is up to Big Brother. The burly man said, raising his glass.

At this time, Duan Tian suddenly understood.

Duan Tian continued to walk back from the original path with his memory.

At this time, it was already half of the night, Duan Tian cautiously returned to the guest room, he first packed his bags, and then sat on the bed and remembered everything on the mountain just now.

Finally, as if he had thought of something, a smile suddenly appeared on his lips, and then he lay down on the bed and went to sleep.

On the second day, Duan Tian got up early and went out in a hurry.

At this time, Li Shishi didn't know it, and she was still in a sweet sleep.

On the other hand, when it was close to noon, Li Shishi also got up, she ran to Duan Tian's room and found that there was no one, thinking that Duan Tian had something to do and went out first, so she didn't look for it.

At this time, the feng shui master wearing Taoist clothes had also come to the fishing village, and everyone rushed to the place where the master practiced early.

I saw a dojo set up in the village, which was full of incense burner paper charms. The feng shui master walked to the middle of the dojo and saw him holding a sword and gesturing it a few times, and then chanting words in his mouth.

"Just now, Taishang Laojun said that he would break his wealth and avoid disasters. The feng shui master turned to the village chief and said.

"Okay, good, we're all set. This is a little bit of our village's heart's heart for Lao Jun. The village chief hurriedly pulled out a money bag.

"Just put it in the merit box on the table. The feng shui master pouted his eyes and said.

The village chief hurriedly took his wallet and walked towards the merit box. I just opened the merit box and was about to put the money in.

"Please wait. There was a shout from outside the crowd.
