Villager of Destiny

Chapter 107

Hearing what Liu Shan said, I also got some interest in my heart, and the Taoist priest also made me feel a little weird, so I didn't refute it.

And if Liu Shan doesn't leave, I can't leave either, and I have to rely on his iron bumps to take me to Zanlong Village.

Then Liu Shan and I walked around the village, and I noticed that almost every household was talking about going up the mountain to find treasures, but they were all worried about what might happen.

Obviously, even though that person and that Taoist priest had said those words, they were still skeptical.

Maybe it was because we were unfamiliar faces, someone found us after wandering around the village for a while.

It was an old man who looked to be in his 70s or [-]s.

He said he was the head of the village here.

Let me call him Uncle Xu.

After knowing the purpose of our coming here, he agreed to take us to his home to rest, and I also learned the name of the village from him.

Tanhua Village.

It is said that this village once had a Tanhua, so it was named like this.

And the old house on the mountain that the middle-aged man mentioned was built on the mountain after Tanhua returned home.

It's just that after that Tanhua passed away, the old house has been vacant there.

Soon we came to his home with Uncle Xu. His house was deserted and he was the only one.

But what makes me feel a little strange is that he is the only one in Xu Bo's house, but everything seems to be double, and there are some clothes that are obviously not suitable for him.

I asked, "Uncle Xu, where are the rest of your family?"

Uncle Xu sighed and said, "Two days ago, my wife didn't listen to my persuasion and went up the mountain secretly, and she hasn't come back yet."

Upon hearing this, Liu Shan quickly asked, "Are you looking for the baby?"

Uncle Xu nodded slightly.

"It is said to be looking for a baby, who knows if it is?"

"It's been so many days, and there is no letter."

"The one who came to collect the treasure just now found a Taoist master and said that my wife found the treasure and ran away."

Speaking of this, Uncle Xu shook his head and said, "My wife is almost seventy years old, and her legs and feet are not good, so where can she go?"

I thought for a while and asked, "Then do you think something happened to your wife?"

When Uncle Xu heard what I said, his expression changed all of a sudden, and he closed the door of the room before saying: "The big guys actually know."

"There are strange things on that mountain."

"In the early years, people in our village often went up, but some strange things always happened, and then no one wanted to go up again."

"Until some time ago, that boss Zhang came and said that there were treasures in the old house, and he paid a big price, so the big guy was moved."

"Who knows, a dozen or so people went there in a row, but none of them have come back yet."

I didn't understand and said: "Since you think it's weird, why don't you stop them?"

But Uncle Xu sighed, "It's not that easy."

"After our village, the big guys planted some crops to make some money once the company was over. Boss Zhang took out 1000 yuan in one breath, which was almost everyone's income for half a year."

"Didn't my wife go too?"

"If it weren't for the fact that those people didn't come back, everyone would be scared these two days, and there would be more people going."

Liu Shan didn't quite understand and said, "Aren't you the village chief?"

"Wouldn't it be better to drive away that boss Zhang?"

Xu Bo shook his head.

"The big guys want to make that money. Although they are afraid, they still think about it."

"Didn't these two old guys lose their temper just now and want to try their luck? If it works, it will be an income of 1000 yuan."

Liu Shan was a little speechless and said, "Aren't you afraid that something will happen again?"

"You just believe that your wife ran away?"

Uncle Xu was silent for a while and said, "Let's have a look again."

Liu Shan still wanted to talk, so I pulled him.

I can see that Uncle Xu also wants to earn the 1000 yuan in his heart, and now he is waiting for the two people who are going to go up the mountain tonight.

I thought about it for a while and said, "Hearing what you said, we would like to go up and have a look."

"But I heard from the boss that if you want to go up the mountain, you have to be from your village, or you need your permission."

"Look at..."

But Uncle Xu waved his hand and refused, "Now the big guys are all hoping to make some money. If things are really all right tomorrow, the big guys will all want to go up there."

Upon hearing this, Liu Shan quickly said, "We know."

"But we don't want to make that money, we just want to go up and have a look."

"If you really get some treasure, we will give you all the rewards we get."

"What do you think?"

Liu Shan added: "We just want to take a look at the old house and see what treasures that boss Zhang can spend so much money on."

Hearing what Liu Shan said, Uncle Xu was obviously moved.

But after thinking for a while, he still didn't agree directly, and said, "Let's see it tomorrow."

"Then let's talk about it tomorrow." Liu Shan glanced at me, then nodded.

When Uncle Xu saw this, he seemed to have no intention of talking to us any more. He pointed to an empty room and said, "My place is simple, so you can squeeze in there tonight."

After speaking, Uncle Xu returned to his room.

After Liu Shan and I looked at each other, we went back to the room that Uncle Xu had vacated for us. After closing the door, Liu Shan asked me in a low voice, "Why do you suddenly want to go up?",

I thought for a while and said, "Just curious."

But Liu Shan said with a look of disbelief: "From what Uncle Xu said, there must be something strange in that old house."

"It seems that what Li Daochang said is not wrong."

Li Bowen again?
I asked, "What else did he say?"

Liu Shan seemed to realize that he had slipped his tongue, and said with some embarrassment: "It's nothing."

"It's Li Daochang who said, no matter where we stop on the way to Bury Dragon Village with you, something will happen."

"That's why he said, let me explain that you can help if you encounter problems."

"No, when you come here, you really encounter something?"

"but……"

Liu Shan said worriedly: "Look at this posture, if there is something wrong with this, it seems that it is really not a good thing."

"Can you really handle it?"

I shook my head and said, "I don't know."

"But didn't you say that Daoist Li said that, except for Burial Dragon Village, I can solve everything I encounter along the way."

Liu Shan nodded upon hearing this.

"Too."

"Then I don't worry about it."

"After all, you can even handle zombies."

"It's getting late. I've been driving all day, so I'll take a rest first." Liu Shan lay down on the bed as he spoke, "If you're hungry, eat some dry food."

"Okay." I nodded and sat aside, thinking about it in my heart.

Li Bowen, what else do you know?
