Villager of Destiny

Chapter 274 Dry Village
During the time I was with Zhang Mingyu, I already knew him very well.

He's one of those people who can do what he says.

Even sometimes, there are indeed many scruples, but most of the time, in his eyes, promises are far more important than scruples, otherwise he would not have followed me to Zhongdong Gu Village.

Seeing what Zhang Mingyu said, I didn't say any more nonsense, leaned on the seat, looked at the receding holy village through the mirror on the iron lump, until the outline of the holy village disappeared before my eyes , I just took out those two books that I haven't read for a long time.

One was given to me by Li Bowen.

The other is "Tongshen".

But after thinking for a while, I still put away "Tongshen", leaving only the book Li Bowen gave me and started to read it again.

I've read this book once, but I didn't read it in detail because of haste. This trip to Zhongdong Gu Village gave me a clear understanding of myself.

There are various introductions in this book, almost including the whole Stranger world, which is what I need now.

Seeing that I was reading, Liu Shan and Zhang Mingyu didn't bother me either.

Liu Shan drove the iron lump quietly, while Zhang Mingyu looked out the window in silence, still not knowing what he was thinking.

that's it.

The three of us set foot on the road to Badong Village.

Badong Village is far in the northeast, and the road is not destined to be so peaceful. Even if Li Bowen told Liu Shan what I met and saw this time, it was up to me whether to interfere or not, but I knew in my heart that since he was already so If I confess, then I will definitely not be able to escape.

The first two days were fairly calm.

Nothing happened.

I don't know if Liu Shan avoided it on purpose, or there were no villages on the way to Badong Village. We spent the night in the wild these two days.

Having iron lumps is not considered a wind, a meal and a camp.

In addition, Liu Shan brought some dry food, so he could cope with it.

Until the third day, we were stopped.

It's not people who stop us.

Of course, not the walking dead.

It was an empty village, a heavy fog.

When I saw the empty village in front of me, I was actually a little surprised, because the emptiness and silence of this village is actually very similar to the Niang'er Village where I lived for 18 years. Even at the entrance of the village, there are a few wild dogs jumping around.

The difference is that there is no fool at the entrance of the village.

It's a real empty village.

After the iron bumps fell, Liu Shan wondered, "It's strange. According to the map, there is no such a village here. How did this village emerge?"

Zhang Mingyu stared at the village, frowned and said, "This village is weird."

"The mist should not be simple, it's a bit like the miasma in the Zhongdong Gu village."

As he spoke, he looked at Liu Shan, "Is this the only way?"

In the past two days, Zhang Mingyu and Liu Shan have become acquainted.

Liu Shan glanced at the map in his hand, then nodded and said: "This road is indeed the only way we must go to the northeast. If we don't take this road, we will have to pass through three mountains and one river. The time will take at least Take three or four more days."

"But this village is indeed weird, otherwise, let's take a detour?"

I heard the conversation between the two, and I have been staring at the village in front of me since I got the iron bump. According to what Liu Shan said, there should be no such village here, that is to say, either Liu Shan's map is inaccurate, or The village appeared out of nowhere.

Two possibilities, I prefer to believe the latter.

So... why did a village appear out of thin air?
Just when I was thinking about whether to detour or go in, I suddenly heard a bell.

I followed the sound and saw a middle-aged man wearing a straw hat ringing a bell in his hand, and behind him were a few bouncing people.

Those people had a talisman on their foreheads.

Zombies?

I frowned.

"The bloodline of the corpse?" Zhang Mingyu was a little surprised.

"Hurry up?" Liu Shan swallowed, his eyes widened, "Is there really such a thing in this world?"

"Avoid strangers!" The middle-aged man shouted as he walked towards us.

We got out of the way at the same time, but the middle-aged man didn't give us a second look, but walked directly towards the village in front of him, as if he didn't see anything weird about the village in front of him.

But this is not the main thing.

Most importantly, it's not night yet.

"Strange." I didn't frowned until people entered the village, "People from the corpse-hunting lineage in Xiangxi generally stay at night and go out at night, even if they chase corpses, they only do so at night."

"It's not night yet... why is he chasing corpses?"

Naturally, I got this information from the book that Li Bowen gave me. I read that book over and over again in two days, and now I have a general understanding of many things that I didn't understand before.

Among them is the lineage of exorcising corpses.

Hearing what I said, Zhang Mingyu said: "It seems that there is indeed something wrong with this village, and the mortician is also a little weird, so don't go into this village."

"We still have a long way to go to Badong Village, and it won't be a delay if we walk for four or five days."

Zhang Mingyu looked at me, as if asking for my opinion.

I thought about it and nodded.

I don't like being nosy in the first place.

My goal from the beginning to the end is only the earth fairy bones. As for the others, as long as I don’t have to, I can ignore them. After all, Li Bowen didn’t ask Liu Shan this time to let me get involved in these things that I don’t understand.

Finally, under the unanimous decision of the three of us, we chose to detour.

Although it will take a few more days, Liu Shan is still very happy.

However, sometimes, some things cannot be avoided even if you want to.

At night, we were stopped again.

Another village appeared in front of us.

Still that weird village.

It’s just that the fog has dissipated, and we can faintly see the whole picture of the village in the dark night, and those wild dogs are still lying at the entrance of the village. When we stopped the iron lump, the green eyes of those wild dogs also looked placed on us.

"Why did you come back again?" Liu Shan, as always, played the reaction that ordinary people should have.

Zhang Mingyu and I looked at each other, and we both saw some unrest in each other's eyes.

"It seems that if we don't enter the village, we may not be able to get out." I said with a wry smile: "If I guessed correctly, we may have accidentally entered some magic circle."

Zhang Mingyu nodded.

"I just don't know who set it up."

"I just hope there is no malice against us."

It's hard to say...

I never feel that things happen for no reason.

There must be a reason for this to happen.

But this is also expected.

So many things have happened along the way, met many people, and offended some people, the most important of which is the legendary Lord Taishan.

Maybe it was aimed at me.

Of course, this is just my guess.

Whether it is true or not, you have to enter the village to find out.

Liu Shan was very reluctant, but he also knew that if we had gone all the way and still didn't avoid this village, it meant we had no other choice.

"Go in and have a look."

I say.
