Chapter 3738: Deserted Mountain Ancient Village
The bed of the electric tricycle was shaking... but with a few small stools placed on it, it became a luxurious first-class seat - in the words of Old Deng.
"...Youye, you don't have to come with us." Fearing that her future daughter-in-law would suffer, Ziling's mother hesitated and said, "How about you two stay and wait?"
"It's okay." The maid smiled and said, "This is also a very novel experience... And don't look at me like this. When I was a child, I also rode a bullock cart, and sometimes walked for a long distance."
"Oh... you can't tell?" Zi Ling's mother looked like she had discovered a new world. It was really hard to connect the temperament of a maid girl with an ox cart!
It's just like she often tells others that when she was a child she didn't have the conditions to ride a horse and could only ride a pig for fun... no one believes it at all!
"It's a bit bumpy on the road, please hold on tight!" Lao Deng shouted, and after he stepped on the gear, the engine of the tricycle suddenly roared.
It's really loud.
At this moment, Lao Deng seemed to be possessed by the god of tofu shop, and he accelerated directly on a small slope of a hundred meters!
On the way to the old site of [Shangshui Village], there is even a section of road without any traces of human beings. There are weeds growing on both sides. On weekdays, only local farmers who come in to farm will pass by on their small motorcycles.
"Why are some houses there submerged in water?" Li Zi had good vision and asked curiously while looking at the water level beside the road.
"A reservoir built!" Old Deng said without even turning his head. "Actually it's the Lover's Beach. It wasn't this big before. Later there was a big flood and it washed away a lot of places, so they simply moved all the people in the depression out and used it to store water."
As they were talking, the road became more and more difficult to drive on, the tricycle slowed down, Lao Deng started to speak less, and he even stopped talking at the end.
In the shadows of the trees ahead, the outlines of some houses can be vaguely seen.
Zi Ling's mother looked at the time. It was almost four o'clock in the afternoon and the sky was not dark yet. However, it was winter and the temperature dropped sharply in the mountains.
Soon, the car stopped and no longer moved forward.
Seeing that there were still a hundred or two hundred meters to go, Zi Ling's mother couldn't help but frown and asked, "Uncle Deng, why don't you leave?"
"I'm not going in. I'll just wait here." Old Deng shook his head. "Go in from here. When you reach the village entrance, take the second road on the left and walk along the mountain. In about ten minutes you will see the Mu family's mansion. You can go there by yourselves."
Li Zi frowned and said, "Uncle, you are not going to run away and leave us here, are you? If you do that, we won't pay you!"
"Don't worry, I'll be waiting for you here!" Old Deng hesitated for a moment, then pulled out the key to the tricycle and threw it over. "I'll give you the key. Is that ok?"
Li Zi opened her mouth. She didn't expect that Old Deng was unwilling to go in even after all this. She felt a little helpless.
Zi Ling's mother hesitated and said, "Uncle... Is there any taboo in this village? Tell us honestly. Anyway, we have come here... You also want to make money, right? If something happens to us, you sent us here, so you are also responsible, right?"
Old Deng hesitated for a moment before lowering his voice and said, "To tell you the truth, this place is not clean, especially at night. Some people have seen ghost lights... and they also said that there was a woman wandering around in there late at night, and they heard crying!"
Li Zi smacked her lips immediately. The village ahead was a bit shabby, but it wasn't a dangerous place - she was a pure demon, how could she not feel anything at all?
"Someone said...someone said it nonsense, right?" Zi Ling's mother shook her head. "Did it happen in the past few months?"
"It's not just these few months." Old Deng said fearfully, "It's been there for a long time... I'm not making this up. Two years ago, someone really went into the mountains to plant trees and apply fertilizers. He came back late and saw it when he passed by. He was almost scared silly. And it's not just one or two people. Several people said they saw it... Anyway, you better get out before dark! Oh, take this!"
As he spoke, Lao Deng took out a Bagua bronze mirror, handed it over, and said seriously: "This thing has been blessed, it works."
……
"Does this thing really work..." Zi Ling's mother weighed the Bagua bronze mirror in her hand, "I always feel like this is a mass-produced Taobao product... Look at the burrs?"
Luo Qiu suddenly took the Bagua bronze mirror from Zi Ling's mother, looked at it for a few seconds, and then returned it. "Every household in Xinshangshui Village is using it. Well... even if it's useless, at least it can make them feel at ease. You can take it, it's not a bad thing."
"When did you start believing in this kind of thing?" Zi Ling's mother curled her lips, but still obediently hung the mirror directly on her belt...just as a pendant.
Li Zi blinked subconsciously...Did this thing flash just now?
"Shh." The maid suddenly made a gesture to keep quiet.
"What, what happened?" Zi Ling's mother was startled and became nervous subconsciously.
The maid looked at the abandoned village in front of her and said, "I think I saw something... There seems to be someone."
This village, once no one lives here, the good houses will naturally collapse over time, not to mention that it was previously washed away by mountain torrents!
At this time, the village was already overgrown with weeds, and the houses built with yellow mud bricks many years ago had long since collapsed beyond recognition - this even reminded Zi Ling's mother of the Fengmen Village in Shenzhou, which used to have many absurd legends...
"people?"
……
……
Under the collapsed eaves, two dark shadows were squatting under a window without a door... Two pairs of dim eyes were staring at the entrance of the village through the gaps between two or three collapsed houses in front.
"They seem to have discovered us..."
"Shh... don't talk, this is a rare opportunity... it would be meaningless if they don't come in..."
"Hey, where are the people? Is there one person missing? Where is the man?"
"Go pee..."
"Shit, I only realized how beautiful they are when I got closer! Tsk tsk... they are coming this way! Get ready - why are you tapping my shoulder? Wait until I say start!"
"I didn't take the photo... My hands are both here, okay? It was you who took the photo..."
"Me neither..."
The two of them took a deep breath and turned their necks slowly with extremely stiff necks - in an instant, they saw a bronze Nuo mask in the shadows, with eyes spewing blue-green flames, and it appeared directly in front of them!
They both widened their eyes at the same time!
“Ghost!!!!!”
The two of them screamed in fear, not caring about anything else, and ran out... In the shadows, the bronze Nuo mask was slowly taken off.
Luo Qiu put away the mask expressionlessly and glanced at the ground... There was a mobile phone clamped by a selfie stick, and the screen of the phone was still on...
……
"Ghost——!!!"
On Zi Ling's mother's side, she saw two young men, one tall and one short, one fat and one thin, crawling out of the old collapsed houses.
Zi Ling's mother, who had been well prepared, sneered immediately... She took out a thick branch hidden behind her back that was as strong as a baseball bat and hit the tall and fat one of the two young men who were rushing towards her with a critical hit!
boom--! !
Zi Ling's mother has practiced this before, and if she really wants to fight for her life, she can handle two or three grown men - if she has a machete in her hand, her fighting power can increase three times!
Women are naturally inferior to men, but if they are blessed with ruthlessness, the nature of the attack will naturally be different - it can be seen that Zi Ling's mother has very rich experience in this regard. A piece of wood as thick as a bowl can be used to directly hit the opponent's knees, calf bones, wrists, etc.
"Stop... stop hitting me, ouch! Stop hitting me, sister... We are wrong, we are wrong... Help me..."
After just a few rounds, the fat and thin duo were knocked to the ground, begging for mercy!
Zi Ling's mother put one hand on her waist and carried a large piece of wood in the other hand, and said viciously: "Who are you? Why are you waiting for us here? Who sent you here!"
The two brothers, whose faces were bruised and their noses were swollen, looked at each other in agony and said tremblingly: "Big brother, big sister, don't get me wrong, we are not bad people, no, without you..."
"Huh?" Zi Ling's mother once again used the original magic weapon embryo: the wood
"Really!" the fat man cried, "We are travellers. We came here to camp and have fun! We are not bad people!"
"It seems that you haven't taught me a lesson enough..." Zi Ling's mother narrowed her eyes.
At this moment, Luo Qiu's voice came over, "They shouldn't be lying."
Luo Qiu was seen walking back slowly from the village, holding a selfie stick in his hand... and the phone on the stick was still live streaming.
……
"…Sorry, we are doing a paranormal exploration and it took us a lot of effort to find this village…"
"Yeah, it's just that the fans thought there was nothing interesting here... and my brother suddenly came up with an idea."
"Actually, I think my idea is pretty good, but it's scary... Real reactions, people nowadays will definitely like to see this!"
"We have been waiting for many days, and finally found you, so we wanted to..."
"Well, big sister, we have already confessed everything, and you have already beaten us, so your anger should have subsided... Can you let us go first?"
The tall and fat one is a wild self-media anchor, with a fan base that has just exceeded a thousand. His ID name is [Fat Dragon Lao Wang]. The short and thin young man is Lao Wang’s childhood friend...his name is Skinny.
The two did not catch up with the bonus time when self-media short video dogs could take off, and entered the industry too late, so they plan to open up some strange tracks.
At this time, Lao Wang and the thin man were tied up tightly with vines - tied to the trunk of an old tree near the entrance of the village.
"Hmph, no matter what you want to do in the live broadcast, it's wrong to scare people! Reflect on this!" Zi Ling's mother said angrily: "I will tell the local law enforcement about this matter and give you a good reprimand!"
The two brothers looked at each other, looking like defeated roosters.
At this moment, Zi Ling's mother suddenly gave Li Zi a look... She had already played the good role, so it was not appropriate to ask questions next!
Li Zi, who was already very familiar with this aspect, immediately understood and walked directly to Lao Wang and Skinny. "Apart from you, is there anyone else here? You'd better tell me the truth... You have experienced the fighting power of this sister of mine!"
"No, no, there are only the two of us!" Lao Wang said quickly, "We have been squatting here for many days, and there is not a single ghost in sight... We were originally planning to give up, but suddenly there was a heavy rainstorm and it didn't go away. We can only stay here for two more days."
"Yes, my brother didn't lie to you!" The thin man nodded quickly and said, "But there are still some traces of life. Maybe some travellers stayed here overnight before, right?"
"How did you find this place?" Li Zi asked in a deep voice.
Lao Wang said, "We are actually locals, living in the town... I have heard about this [Shangshui Village] since I was a child. I heard that it was haunted before. We just wanted to do a live broadcast of supernatural... outdoor adventures, so Skinny and I decided to come here."
Li Zi asked, "Have you ever been to that big house up there?"
Lao Wang was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously asked: "How do you know there is a big house upstairs...Are you locals too?"
Zi Ling's mother immediately tapped the embryo of the original magic weapon in her hand and said, "Don't worry about this. Just answer whatever I ask you!"
"No... I haven't been there." Lao Wang swallowed his saliva. "We wanted to wait for someone to come and scare them... Farmers who go into the mountains to plant trees occasionally pass by here. No one would go up there. It would be useless for us to run up there, right?"
"Have you heard about that family?" Li Zi asked suddenly.
The thin man said quickly, "You mean the Mu family in [Shangshui Village], right? We have indeed inquired about this, mainly because we collected information before... In fact, we did not choose [Shangshui Village] randomly, because there are many rumors about this village in the local area, which can arouse people's curiosity..."
"Do you know what this thing is?" Zi Ling's mother suddenly picked up the Bagua mirror hanging on her belt, "Do you know why every household in Xinshangshui Village hangs this?"
"To suppress evil!" Old Wang blurted out, "People have died in Shangshui Village before!"
Zi Ling's mother narrowed her eyes immediately, and placed the embryo of the original magic weapon in her hand directly on Lao Wang's shoulder, and said with a smile: "Lao Wang...you don't want to do this, so let's go tell the law enforcement uncle, right?"
"Uh-huh??"
……
On the electric tricycle, Lao Deng frowned and smoked one puff of the white-box Hongtashan cigarette after another.
After four o'clock in the winter, the sky quickly became dark... At this moment, looking at the gloomy sky, Lao Deng couldn't help rubbing his hands, feeling a little cold.
"Are they... okay?"
Whoosh-!
The shade of the trees swayed and rustled.
Old Deng shuddered suddenly and subconsciously looked back at the bushes behind him...only to see something swaying gently in the bushes!
Old Deng's heart suddenly skipped a beat and he quickly picked up a stone and threw it into the grass!
When the stone hit the grass, the grass suddenly shook again!
Old Deng took a deep breath and subconsciously pulled out a hatchet from beside the seat and threw in another stone!
Suddenly, a black shadow jumped out from the bushes!
When I looked carefully, I saw it was a mouse... The mouse was frightened and ran away immediately.
Old Deng was stunned for a moment, then he wiped his cold sweat and cursed inwardly... He let out a sigh of relief and put the hatchet back.
He subconsciously took out his phone, lit a cigarette, and waited for his wife at home to answer the call. He planned to tell her that he would be back later and ask her to prepare more meals for a few more people.
Two thousand per table...
Suddenly, Old Deng's face became stiff... He took a deep breath!
I saw a short figure squatting on the tree in front of me.
The short figure was wearing a costume similar to Zhong Kui in a play, with a red and black mask...
"Hello... Hello? Old man, what's the matter? When will you come back? I heard that you brought a few people back... Old man? Speak! Don't scare me! Old man... Old Deng?!"
