Villager of Destiny

Chapter 109
Liu Shan smiled and said, "Don't you want to go up too?"

"We just happened to be your company."

"If I find any treasure, I'll give it to you first, isn't it good?"

Uncle Xu shook his head, his expression became a bit more complicated, and he said, "I've known that old guy Xu Daniu for decades, and he's not the kind of person who can run away by himself."

Hearing this, I asked with some doubts: "What do you mean by that?"

Uncle Xu didn't answer me, he just sighed and said, "Old man, I just want to go up and look for my wife."

"Look where she went."

After saying this, Uncle Xu left without looking back.

Looking at his back, I also understood in my heart that Uncle Xu did not choose to go up the mountain for money, and he should not fully believe what the boss said.

Just looking at his appearance, he doesn't seem to intend to say anything more to us.

I didn't ask any more questions.

Liu Shan obviously saw this too, and said to me in a low voice: "Uncle Xu probably doesn't quite believe that Boss Zhang's words either."

"And did you see that?"

"Although the old man is back, the people in the village still don't fully believe what Boss Zhang said."

"The weirdness on the mountain is definitely not as simple as Xu Bo said."

I nodded.

Liu Shan thought for a while and said, "How about I ask other people to find out?"

"I don't feel at ease if I don't find out what's going on on this mountain."

I smiled and said, "Are you afraid?"

Liu Shan glanced at me angrily, and said seriously, "I have nothing to be afraid of when you're here, but I can't be ignorant, right?"

"You go back first, I'll find someone to ask."

Liu Shan left without waiting for me to say anything.

It's not suitable for me to ask for information, and I can only add to the confusion if I go with Liu Shan, so I don't follow, I can only catch up with Uncle Xu, and follow him back home.

However, after returning to Uncle Xu's house, Uncle Xu locked himself in the room and never came out again. I didn't know what he was doing, but I could only hear the sound of grinding something.

It was not until noon that Liu Shan came back from the outside, looking a little unhappy.

Seeing Uncle Xu still in the room, Liu Shan pulled me and said in a low voice, "How about we go?"

I was a little confused and asked, "What's wrong?"

Liu Shan glanced at Uncle Xu's room before saying, "The old house is indeed not as simple as what Uncle Xu said."

"The old house was indeed built by Tanhua from this village."

"But that old house was built by digging a tomb on the mountain."

"At that time, Tanhua thought that the geomantic omen was good there, so he dug up his tomb."

"It's just that Tanhua passed away inexplicably just after building the house, and when he was discovered, all he had left was a pile of bones."

"Then the mountain started to be haunted. The people who disappeared when they went up the mountain didn't appear only when the boss came. It happened many years ago. It's just because too many people disappeared on the mountain that they didn't dare to go up. gone."

"So why don't we go too?"

Liu Shan was a little worried.

"Let's not get involved in this haunted matter."

"Didn't you say that I should help when I encounter problems?" I said with a smile.

Liu Shan was a little confused when he heard the words: "Didn't I never expect to be haunted?"

"If I knew, I wouldn't say it even if I was killed."

Seeing Liu Shan's depressed face, I smiled and said, "Don't worry."

"Maybe they are afraid that we will go up to snatch the treasure, and they are too embarrassed to let us go. When they see you go to inquire, they will add more details to scare you."

Liu Shan froze for a moment, then patted his thigh and said, "You seem to be right."

"If I remember correctly, one of the family who told me this is going to go up the mountain tonight."

"Almost fooled by them."

"but……"

Liu Shan looked at me again and asked, "I really encountered a ghost, can you solve it?"

"You can handle even zombies, so there shouldn't be a big problem, right?"

"Li Daochang said that you have learned a lot from him, but you are still a village guard..."

I thought about it and said, "It should be fine."

Only then did Liu Shan heave a sigh of relief and nodded, "Then I'm relieved, I'll go up the mountain tonight to have a look."

From then on, Liu Shan and I waited in the room all the time.

It was not until evening that Xu Bo came out of the room.

Liu Shan and I couldn't help but widen our eyes when we saw him.

When he came out of the room, Uncle Xu was already wrapped tightly, and he was holding two large machetes that looked like they had just been sharpened, which shocked Liu Shan.

"Uncle Xu, what is this?"

Uncle Xu glanced at us and said, "It's better to be careful."

"After going up the mountain, all of you should follow me. If something happens, I need someone to take care of me."

Hearing this, I didn't know what to say for a while.

If ghosts or zombies really existed on this mountain, Uncle Xu's preparations would not have any effect.

But I didn't say much, just followed Xu Bo and Liu Shan out of the house.

After a while we arrived at the mountain they were talking about.

The people at the foot of the mountain have arrived.

Including the three of us, there are eight people in total.

After seeing us coming, they ran towards the mountain in unison.

Xu Bo didn't seem in a hurry, he walked in front of us, holding the two machetes, his face had been tense since he got up the mountain.

What makes me a little strange is that although the whole mountain is very quiet, it doesn't make me feel any discomfort. Even the gossip mirror that Li Bowen gave me didn't respond.

This made me involuntarily and a little suspicious, whether there is nothing wrong with this mountain.

Just looking at Uncle Xu's dignified expression, I didn't take it lightly and followed closely.

Liu Shan also followed, but he didn't know it was because of Uncle Xu. He also looked very nervous following Uncle Xu, looking around from time to time, and didn't speak.

We walked all the way up the mountain along the mountain road. I don’t know how long we walked. I finally saw the old house they talked about. The house looked very big, but it was full of trees outside. If you just look at it from the foot of the mountain, it is almost completely blocked by trees. with.

After arriving here, the gossip mirror on my body finally reacted, but it only lit up a little bit.

But it also made my heart a little lifted.

According to previous experience, the reaction of the gossip mirror basically means that there is danger nearby.

And nine out of ten are ghosts.

In other words, what Liu Shan inquired about this old house may be true.

And this made me a little more suspicious.

Since there are really ghosts here, why didn't the Taoist priest brought by the boss before find out?

I heard from Boss Zhang that the Taoist priest came from Maoshan, so it's impossible that he doesn't even have this ability?
Thinking of this, I couldn't help frowning.
