I become a god in another world
Chapter 154 Searching the Village
Chapter 154
The village elder's house in Zhuangjia Village is located in the innermost part of the center of the village. There is a courtyard outside. Although it is old, it looks more grand compared to other simple houses.
At this time, the two doors were half ajar and half open.
Over the past few days, weeds have grown in the yard, and there is a vague smell of blood.
Gou Laosi came here with Zhao Fusheng. He didn't dare to look in and just said casually:
"Sir, the village chief of Zhuangjia Village lives here."
Zhao Fusheng nodded, crossed Gou Laosi's body, took a few steps forward, and stood in front of the courtyard gate.
She took out her ghost arm and used its power to push the half-closed door inward - with a creaking sound, the door swayed open, and a faint smell of corpses mixed with the smell of blood came out. It was heard in the hospital.
Gou Laosi retched and looked nervously at the ghost arm in Zhao Fusheng's hand.
This ghost arm is obviously the severed arm of a corpse. It is an abnormal gray-brown color and has a faint smell.
He had seen Zhao Fusheng use this thing to knock Zhuang Laoqi's body after being affected by the ghost before. This broken arm had been resurrected, which was very scary.
At this time, Ghost Arm pushed the door open. There was no strange reaction, but his fingers were trembling. Zhao Fusheng's tense nerves relaxed slightly:
"It seems that there is no ghost smell in this room for the time being."
The ghost arm has not been suppressed, obviously there are no ghosts here.
Thinking of this, Zhao Fusheng stepped into the house.
Gou Laosi didn't dare to follow, but when he looked back, he saw that there was heavy fog everywhere. After the incident in Zhuangjia Village, it was almost a dead village. It seemed that except for the two of them, there was no other living person.
After the Demon Suppressing Division members split up, he and Zhao Fusheng were left alone. As soon as Zhao Fusheng entered the house, he was left alone outside the door.
If a ghost appears, he will definitely die by then.
All kinds of bizarre ways of death turned into imaginations and appeared in Gou Laosi's mind. He crawled into the house almost peeing and followed closely beside Zhao Fusheng.
Zhao Fusheng ignored Gou Laosi's actions. As long as he was not stupid, he would not walk around casually.
After she entered the courtyard, she just waved around with her ghost arm raised vigilantly.
The courtyard looks like it has been deserted for some time.
On the left hand side of the entrance, an unknown large tree was planted. The tree trunk was about the thickness of a person's arms, but it was strangely dead at this time.
On the right side, directly opposite the tree, is a straw shed with a stove, pots and bowls, etc., and some firewood stacked behind it.
Zhao Fusheng went to the kitchen, where a large pot was placed. She opened the lid of the pot, and a stinky smell mixed with rancidity came out of the pot.
The bottom of the pot was dark and covered with a layer of mushy food, as if the family had been cooking and eating before leaving.
She put the lid on the pot and thought: Most of the villagers under the Han Dynasty were poor. Although the situation of the village head of Zhuangjia Village was better than that of ordinary villagers, it was not much better.
If a family knew they were going out, they would not cook food without eating it for no reason.
It is most likely that the incident happened suddenly. Something happened while the village chief's family was cooking, causing the family to leave in a hurry without having time to take care of their home.
"Gou Si, push all the doors open."
Zhao Fusheng ordered, pushing open the door to the side as he spoke.
The room seemed to be a place where poultry was kept, but at this time the poultry was dead. The smell of rotting corpses mixed with animal feces and the smell of mold came to his nostrils. Zhao Fusheng looked inside and saw no human beings. After seeing the figure or corpse, he quickly closed the door again.
Once the door was closed, the smell was isolated. She took a breath slowly and moved on to other places.
Although Gou Si was afraid, it was a matter of life and death, and he did not dare to go against Zhao Fusheng's words. He quickly pushed open the doors of several wing rooms, and the two of them took a brief look outside one by one, and finally his eyes fell on the courtyard door opposite. lobby.
Zhuangjia Village was shrouded in thick fog. According to the time of day, it should be daytime, but the courtyard was dark.
The main hall is only lit by the door, with built-in bedrooms. When looking in from the outside, the lobby is deep and somewhat dark.
"Sir, it seems there is no one."
Gou Si quickly looked inside, and then said something timidly.
"Let's go inside and take a look."
Zhao Fusheng responded.
After saying that, she stepped into the house, and Gou Laosi followed her in.
The arrival of the two men broke the silence of the room. The dust that had been silent for a long time was awakened and instantly flew up into the sky, combining with the fog beads in the air.
There is a long table in the middle of the main room of the village chief's house, and two old chairs facing the door. The paint has peeled off around the backs of the chairs.
After Zhao Fusheng entered the main hall, his eyes fell on the ground.
The ground was made of compacted earth, and about half a foot away from the two chairs, there was a pile of unknown ashes stacked up.
It seemed as if a large handful of firewood had been piled there, and after it was burned, charcoal strips of varying lengths were left behind.
"This is--"
Gou Laosi was shocked when he saw this scene.
Having witnessed the death of Zhuang Laoqi, he immediately thought that this pile of ashes might be left behind, but he had no evidence yet.
Zhao Fusheng thought of something with him and said:
"Kuai Mancai?"
According to Zhuang Laoqi, after the incident in Kuai Liang Village, Kuai Mancai went to Zhuangjia Village to ask for help, and told the story of Zhuang Si's wife who drowned after colluding with others and committing adultery.
After he told the whole story of Kuai Liang Village, he was suddenly attacked by a ghost and died in the village chief's home.
"It's a pity that it's hard to tell whether this is human bones or not -" Gou Laosi sighed.
Zhao Fusheng's eyes flashed:
"According to common sense, if Kuai Mancai dies in the same way as Zhuang Laoqi, then his flesh and blood will turn into water after death, his head and body will be separated, and his skeleton will be as white as snow. His bones will not bloom until he encounters a certain situation."
After the flowers bloom, the bones fade away and then turn into ashes.
Seven or eight days have passed since the incident, and the flowers on the bones must have rotted, but according to Zhuang Laoqi's condition, the head should still be around here.
The lobby of the village chief's home is not very empty. It is filled with pots and jars, and some farmyard sundries are piled in the corner.
But the middle of the lobby is very tidy and clean, with not much clutter.
Zhao Fusheng's eyes fell on the two chairs. Behind the chairs was a slender table with an incense burner on it. A niche was dug into the wall and a simple clay statue was placed on it.
A dirty red cloth was placed on the table and fell straight to the floor, completely blocking the back of the table.
"grown ups."
When Gou Laosi saw her looking at the shrine in a daze, he couldn't help but shout cautiously.
At this moment, the sound of rapid footsteps suddenly came from outside. Gou Laosi was used to the quietness of this village. When Leng Yehe heard the sound, he was so frightened that he jumped up to Zhao Fusheng. Just as he was about to speak, Zhang Chuanshi came from outside. shouts:
"grown ups."
Zhao Fusheng did not answer, Gou Laosi quickly responded:
"Your Excellency, here." While he was speaking, Zhao Fusheng walked past the pile of withered ashes. She counted and found that it was about three or four steps away from the wooden chair and the long table. If Kuai Mancai had said that that day, If you die after saying this, your head may roll down here.
Zhao Fusheng walked to the chair, pushed the two chairs away, and lifted up the red cloth covering the table.
Under the slender table legs, a dark and withered head was indeed placed there, with a pair of empty eyes staring straight at the direction of the corpse, grinning in pain.
Kuai Mancai had been dead for a long time, and the skin on his face was dry and black, like a layer of old kraft paper stuck to his skull.
The lips that had lost their moisture could not cover the teeth and looked quite ugly.
Gou Laosi saw Zhao Fusheng bending down to pick something up. When he got up, he saw the human head in her arms and couldn't help but scream in fear:
"what!!!"
His screams spread, and the footsteps and voices that had been heard outside suddenly stopped, as if Zhang Chuanshi's arrival was just an illusion.
"Stop barking."
Zhao Fusheng scolded, and Gou Laosi folded his hands in fear and covered his mouth.
"Sir, this is, this is -"
Zhao Fusheng ignored him and shouted:
"Lao Zhang, come in."
There was silence outside for a while, and then Zhang Chuanshi's voice came:
"Lao Zhang is not here."
"..." Zhao Fusheng's eyebrows twitched. Not long after, Zhang Chuanshi sneakily poked half of his head out of the courtyard gate and glanced around the courtyard. After seeing no sneakiness, he boldly showed up.
"What were you yelling at just now? You were so scared that Mr. Zhang almost peed his pants."
After Zhang Chuanshi entered the room, he glared at Gou Laosi angrily. Gou Laosi's eyes fell on Zhao Fusheng's hands. Zhang Chuanshi was startled, and then he saw clearly the head in Zhao Fusheng's hand.
"This is -" Zhang Chuanshi's expression changed, his eyes turned around on the ground, and then he saw the pool of ashes falling on the ground:
"Is it Kuai Mancai?"
While the few people were talking, Fan Wujiu and Wu Shaochun, who were working separately on the other side, also came looking for the voice one after another.
As soon as everyone from the Demon Suppression Department gathered together, they all saw the ashes on the ground and the skull held in Zhao Fusheng's hand, and guessed the identity of the deceased.
"It seems that although Zhuang Laoqi was under the control of the evil ghost and some of his memories are not very accurate, one thing he said is right - Kuai Mancai did come to Zhuangjia Village for help that day and died in Zhuangjia Village."
This method of death is exactly the same as Zhuang Laoqi’s previous death. Zhao Fusheng said:
"I suspect that his head and body were also separated, his flesh and blood turned into water, and his bones bloomed——"
"flower?"
Zhang Chuanshi's mood changed at this moment. He even felt his palms were itchy, and he rubbed his trouser legs hard again:
"I didn't see any flowers——"
"Did someone pick it off again?" As soon as Wu Shaochun finished asking, he saw Zhang Chuanshi looking at him with an unkind expression, and he immediately turned away with a guilty conscience.
"I don't know."
Zhao Fusheng frowned and shook his head:
"But judging from the situation at the village chief's house, there was food in the pot in the kitchen, and Kuai Mancai's body was not taken away after his death. It can be seen that something happened at the village chief's house at that time, which is inconsistent with Zhuang Laoqi's words. "
After she finished speaking, she asked the other three people:
"Is there anyone else alive in the village?"
Wu, Fan and Zhang all shook their heads when they heard this:
"There was no one alive, and no corpses were seen. Some people had dead livestock in their homes. Other than that, it was like an abandoned village with no human habitation."
"Maybe he went to Kuai Liang Village."
Zhao Fusheng thought of this and put the skull in his hand on the chair: "Let's go to the river and go to Kuai Liang Village."
She went out first, and the others looked at each other, then followed her.
"Sir, are you sure about this ghost case?"
Fan Wujiu asked bravely.
"You haven't figured out the ghost's killing rules yet, so how can you be sure?"
Zhao Fusheng shook his head, her words frightened several people:
"If the law of killing is not clear, we will go to Kuai Liang Village rashly——"
"Everything requires risk." Zhao Fusheng said:
"The currently resurrected ghost is suspected to be Mrs. Zhuang Si, and Kuai Liang Village is the place where the incident occurred. According to the clues in Zhuang Lao's seventh chapter, everyone will go to Kuai Liang Village after being marked by the ghost. If we keep hiding, we will never go there. I can’t figure out the law of ghosts.”
And the ghost disaster spreads very quickly. "If it is not stopped, this place is not very far from Wan'an County, and it is very likely that it will quickly spread to the county seat."
Zhao Fusheng was able to escape Wan'an County by then. She looked at the other people:
"You are in the soul book, what should you do?"
There is no escape, only facing.
Several people were silent for a while, and then they all nodded.
"Your Excellency is right." Wu Shaochun said.
When Zhang Chuanshi thought that he was restricted in Wan'an County and could not leave, and his whole body was like an eggplant beaten by frost, he was dejected for a long time, and suddenly said: "Since it is related to Mrs. Zhuang Si, why don't we go to Uncle Zhuang's seventh uncle's house first? Let’s take a look?”
For some reason, he felt fear and resistance at the thought of going to Kuai Liang Village.
"It has no effect." Zhao Fusheng replied:
"Although Mrs. Zhuang Si is the daughter of Uncle Zhuang's seventh uncle, she has been married for many years, and her life has long since disappeared. She died in Kuai Liang Village, and that is where her evil ghost resurrected."
Gou Laosi bit his lip and asked:
"Sir, will the fourth cousin really be so terrible after death?"
"Don't use human thinking to figure out the ghosts!" Zhao Fusheng said with a stern expression:
"No matter how pitiful she was in life, after she died, she lost her human emotions and memories, and only the instinctive behavior of killing was left."
After the evil ghost wakes up, its killing behavior is not for revenge, and its resentment will not dissipate because of the death of its enemy. It will only involve more innocent people.
"Zhuangjia Village and Kuailiang Village had an impact on her while she was alive. Some of her obsessions before death may form the rules of her killing after death. These details need to be found by living people to inquire about."
Zhuangjia Village has become an empty village with no living people. There is no point in staying to check the past.
From Zhuang Laoqi's words, it can be heard that Zhuang Laoqi's uncle and aunt do not care about this fourth-born daughter. The mark she left on her parents' family when she was not married may have been wiped out when she got married. .
Zhao Fusheng said:
"I just hope that there are still people alive in Kuai Liang Village at this time, otherwise it will be really difficult."
After several people discussed it, they immediately left the village chief's home.
According to Zhuang Laoqi, after leaving the village, there will be a path leading directly to the branch of the Shangjia River that is dyed yellow by the sand. On the riverside, a boat will arrive in the morning and evening to take everyone to the other side of the river.
The group of people walked around the field path covered with withered grass, returned to the main road, and walked down the dirt path. After walking for about half a quarter of an hour, they saw a man-made path hidden in the dense grass.
"My lord, there."
Wu Shaochun pointed.
Sure enough, everyone saw the stairs going down the slope.
