Chapter 93
The young man cautiously looked around a few times, and when he saw no one around, he stepped forward and said, "The reason for this, hey!"

Inviting the little brother into the room, the little brother said: "My name is Qiu Changming, you can call me Xiaoqiu, I am one of the few young and middle-aged people in these ten miles and eight villages, and I was lucky enough to escape the catastrophe back then."

Indeed, as the largest village in the vicinity, Tipan Village is already in this state, let alone other small villages.

Jiang Youzhi said: "Why is this? Even if it was because of the rebellion case back then, not all young and middle-aged people would be involved."

The young man nodded: "Genius doctor, you are right. It is true that only some people were involved in the rebellion case back then, but the others disappeared because of another, extremely weird incident!"

Jiang Youzhi frowned: "Huh? Another thing?"

Qiu Changming lowered his voice and said: "After the few people who went to Beijing to sue the imperial court were killed, the group of young people we stayed in the village couldn't swallow this breath, so they went to make trouble several times. Mr. Li was ordered to rectify the administration of officials. In order to make us stop making troubles, the county magistrate sent people to say that we can go up to the mountains to work as laborers. The villagers really have no choice but to compromise in order to have a meal."

"On the mountain? I haven't heard of any work on the nearby mountains. What kind of work do the villagers do when they go up the mountain?" Jiang Youzhi asked.

Qiu Changming sighed: "That's true. At that time we were also curious, so we asked those officials, but they didn't respond at all. They just said that they would go if they wanted to go, and leave if they didn't want to go. I also went at that time, but I just left On the way, we were driven away because of inconvenient legs and feet, so those of us who have never been there still don’t know why the government asked us to go up the mountain.”

Jiang Youzhi was puzzled and said, "Impossible, so those who came back from work didn't say anything?"

"This is the problem. Those folks who went to work on the mountain never came back. In the first few months, we didn't take it seriously, but later, the government kept recruiting people to go up the mountain, but one who went down the mountain Nobody!"

"That's not right, these people can't disappear without a reason." Jiang Youzhi subconsciously said.

"Yeah, so many people, can they all disappear? Besides, whoever's family can't worry about losing people, the village chief called everyone and said that they can no longer work in the mountains, and they also joined hands with nearby villages. Gathered hundreds of strong young men with tools such as shovels and hoes to find out."

"What's the result?" Jiang Youzhi couldn't help asking.

"It's all gone!"

"What! The hundred or so strong boys are gone!" Jiang Youzhi said in surprise.

"Yes, none of them came back. We didn't see anyone alive or dead. We went to the county government office to ask for an explanation, but the grandpa said that he didn't know, and asked if we were evil-hearted and wanted to plot rebellion!"

"Damn it! Hundreds of villagers disappeared collectively. There must be something strange about it. What does the magistrate of this county do for food!" Jiang Youzhi was filled with righteous indignation, and slammed his fist on the table.

"Later, the blind dates had a few more quarrels, and they were all accused of rebellion, but what happened later was even more evil!"

"What's going on?" Jiang Youzhi asked.

"Later, there were rumors that the mountain was haunted! At the east end of the mountain, there was Qilingpo. It used to be a mass grave, but it turned into a night market overnight. There were neat houses and many shops, but During the daytime, there are no people, it is gloomy, and there are no ghosts, but it is very lively at night, it is a veritable ghost market!"

"It's really evil." Jiang Youzhi thought, it seems that there must be some secrets hidden in this ghost city, and it seems that she has to go there to find out.

"Since then, strong young men from several nearby villages have disappeared every now and then, and the county magistrate doesn't care about it. Last time we went to make trouble, many people were arrested and thrown into prison. Most of them were old and weak women and children. That’s how the prison robbery happened.”

Seeing Qiu Changming sighing, Jiang Youzhi said: "The folks are suffering..."

At this time, Pei Xun stood up and said, "I'm going to see what is sacred in that ghost city."

Jiang Youzhi nodded: "Okay, I'll go with you."

Qiu Changming also got up quickly, and said anxiously: "You two genius doctors, no! You can't go to that ghost market, and if you go, you will never return!"

Jiang Youzhi patted him on the shoulder comfortingly: "Xiao Qiu, don't worry, the two of us will be more careful."

Seeing this, Qiu Changming could only nod helplessly: "You two are good people, and God will bless you both."

Jiang Youzhi smiled and nodded, then said as if thinking about something: "Xiaoqiu, you just said that you were driven back halfway because of a leg problem, so do you remember that part of the way? Can you draw it for us?"

"Remember, remember!" But then, Qiu Changming scratched his head again, and said with some embarrassment: "Of course I remember the road, but if you let me draw it, I'm afraid..."

But before Jiang Youzhi could speak, Qiu Changming said again: "That place is not very far from the village, why don't I take you two there, don't look at me as a cripple, but I'm not slow to walk! The mountain road is even more No problem!"

Jiang Youzhi smiled and said, "Thank you then."

The three of them simply filled their stomachs and set off immediately, because it just rained last night, and the mountain road was a bit slippery, so they walked slowly.

Qiu Changming walked in front and said: "Since the haunting happened, the government has closed the road up the mountain. If you want to enter the mountain, you have to take this path, but the path is rough, you must be more careful in a while." , must come back before dark!"

Jiang Youzhi panted slightly and replied: "Okay, we all understand, but is the place where the government let you work is the same road as the ghost market?"

Qiu Changming replied: "Judging from the half of the road I walked back then, it should be the same road, but there is a fork in the road when I approach the ghost city. I don't know if it is still behind."

Jiang Youzhi held a stick in her hand and stuck it in the soil, wanting to use it to rest for a while. She lowered her head subconsciously, but found that there were still some fine sand left on the ground.

She looked up, and it seemed that the fine sand was indeed washed down from the top of the mountain.

Pei Xun noticed her, and said in a deep voice, "Is there any problem?"

Jiang Youzhi said: "Have you ever built a palace or a palace here?"

"No, the mountain roads here are steep, and they are all unused areas. It is even more impossible to build palaces and palaces."

Jiang Youzhi nodded: "There is a big problem here. If it's not the government, then someone is planning to build something in private."
