Chapter 246 Road closure
"this······"

Bao Zheng fell silent.

Judging from the burial position of the tomb outside, there is a high probability that the person buried in the tomb is the owner of this house.

The owner of this room had just passed away, so it was a bit offensive for them to rush in here rashly.

"Sorry for intruding."

The group stayed in this room for a while and found nothing special, so they planned to leave.

Before leaving.

Everyone came to the tombstone and whispered an apology to the owner of the tomb.

We wandered around the back mountain for a while.

After that, except for this room, everyone found neither any murderous beast nor any other special things, so they turned around and returned to the Hermitage Village.

"Hey, Brother Bao, I suddenly remembered that if the tomb we just saw outside that house belongs to the owner of that house, then who built this tomb?"

On the way back to the village.

Zhan Zhao suddenly seemed to think of something, raised his head and asked Bao Zheng.

This question really stunned Bao Zheng.

But before Bao Zheng could answer, he heard Long Feiyan say in a loud voice: "Oh, little bald head, you are so stupid. Who said that only one person can live in that room? Maybe there are other people in that room." Alive!"

"Oh~~~Sister Feiyan is right."

Zhan Zhao nodded in realization.

See this.

Bao Zheng didn't say much, but there was still some confusion in his eyes.

It didn't take long.

Everyone returned to the Hermitage Village.

As soon as they arrived at the entrance of Hermitage Village, everyone noticed that something was not right in the village. It seemed that there were more and more houses hanging white cloths in front of their doors.

"Why do I feel like something is wrong?"

Ling Chuchu was a little strange.

At this time.

Zhuo Yun hurriedly came from the front holding a roll of paper money. Ling Chuchu immediately stepped forward to stop him and said, "Zhuo Yun, why are you in such a hurry?"

Zhuo Yun was also surprised to see Ling Chuchu, and asked: "Chu Chu, why are you still here? Why don't you go help quickly?"

Ling Chuchu asked strangely: "Help? What help?"

Zhuo Yun said: "How else can I help? You don't know it yet! Both Mr. Zhang San and Mr. Zhu just passed away, and the village is busy now?"

Ling Chuchu's eyes suddenly widened and she said in shock: "How could this happen? Mr. Zhang San and Mrs. Zhu have always been in good health, how could they suddenly die?"

Zhuo Yun sighed: "What else can we do? Both Mr. Zhang San and Mr. Zhu are over a hundred years old this year. Uncle Zhang San and Zhu Liu suddenly passed away not long ago. The two old people's spirits are not as good as before. Until today. Uncle Zhang was buried, and Mr. Zhang couldn't hold his breath anymore, so he died naturally. Mr. Zhu was in a similar situation. "

Hearing these words, Ling Chuchu suddenly fell silent.

Luo Yang, Bao Zheng and others also looked away.

to be frank.

They just suddenly heard that two more people had died in Hermitage Village. They almost thought that another murder had occurred.

But now that the two people who died are already hundreds of years old, their deaths have become normal.

Outsiders like Luo Yang and Bao Zheng couldn't get involved in the funeral in Hermitage Village, so they returned to Ling's house first after greeting Ling Chuchu.

Wait until night.

Ling Chuchu returned home.

Everyone rested for the night.

Wait until the next day.

Bad news came again in the village, another person died.

The person who died this time was still an old man in the village, and they still died at the same time.

Then the third day.

The same situation happened again. For several days in a row, people died in the Hermitage Village, which finally made the villagers start to panic.

"A curse, it must be a curse."

"Our village has been cursed. This is an evil spirit coming to claim our lives!"

"These are all foreigners. They must have brought the curse here."

······
Overnight.

Various rumors filled the entire Hermitage Village.

Some people said that evil spirits were seeking their lives, while others blamed foreigners such as Luo Yang and Bao Zheng for the origin of these things.

Faced with this situation, even though Li Si tried his best to comfort him, it was of no avail.

till the end.

Some people in the village even began to pack up their packages, dragging their families with them to escape from the Hermitage Village.

however.

Just when these families had just fled halfway up the mountain, something happened that no one expected.

The intersection going down the mountain from Yinyi Village was actually blocked.

The location of Hermitage Village is extremely hidden in the mountains. There is only one road up and down the mountain on weekdays. This road intersperses in the middle of two secluded valleys. If no one leads the way, outsiders can hardly detect it.

But now.

This mountain road actually collapsed.

Huge boulders rolled down from the top of the mountain, directly sealing the entire road.

Saw this scene.

The villagers in Yinyi Village suddenly became even more panicked.

"Oh my God, what did our Hermitage Village do wrong to deserve such ruthless punishment from God?"

The villagers regarded this incident as a punishment from God.

After all, in the knowledge of the villagers of these hermit villages, no one except Tianwei could get such huge rocks into the middle of the mountain road.

But in fact······
"Sure enough, it's gunpowder."

Halfway up the mountain.

Luo Yang jumped down from the broken mountain layer, holding a black stone in his hand, and handed it to Bao Zheng, Murong Fu, Li Si and others.

Gunpowder has appeared in Kyushu for many years, but it is not popular, so ordinary people do not know the existence of this thing.

But for people like Bao Zheng, Li Si, and Murong Fu, they are no strangers.

Li Si squeezed the stone in his hand that smelled of gunpowder smoke, his face as gloomy as water.

If it were said that when Zhang San and Zhu Liu died before, he was not sure.

So now.

He was already sure that their hermit village was being targeted.

From the beginning.

Then the murderer behind the scenes doesn't just want to kill Zhang San and Zhu Liu. What he wants is the lives of everyone in the Hermitage Village.

And this.

Bao Zheng, Luo Yang, and Murong Fu also guessed it.

boom!
While everyone was thinking, a deafening roar suddenly came from somewhere.

Like thunder from the ground.

The whole earth seemed to tremble in an instant.

This roar really startled the villagers of Hermitage Village. They thought that God was punishing them and was coming to take their lives. They were so frightened that they knelt on the ground.

But after Li Si was stunned for a short time, he seemed to remember something, his expression suddenly changed, and he quickly left the place and ran back towards the Hermitage Village.

Luo Yang, Bao Zheng, and Murong Fu looked at each other and quickly understood what was going on. The three of them stared at each other at the same time and exclaimed: "Oh no, it's a secret passage."
