The years of reselling the haunted house

Later, Meng Baolu found a few people and began to search in the village. As a result, he almost turned the village upside down, but he did not find Da Zhuang's half body.

And at the same time, the person who was bitten by Da Zhuang on the shoulder was missing at the same time.

The man was recuperating at home, but the next day, the family members found that he had disappeared.After searching the entire village, the body of this person disappeared as if it had disappeared out of thin air.

Meng Baolu was at a loss, and he couldn't give a reasonable explanation for the strange things that happened. That day, Huang Wenbai came to visit, so he simply told Huang Wenbai about the situation.

Huang Wenbai knew that something happened in the village, and we just found Huang Wenbai, and he connected our incident with what happened in the village, and brought us here.

That's how it happened.

Meng Baolu added: "It's even worse now than when I told Lao Huang. Let's just say that the body of that person was not found. Later, I found out that the people in this village have become lifeless. At first I thought it was Because of this series of things that happened, they were depressed. It was later discovered that this was not the case at all. They are now metaphorically speaking, like... like walking dead one by one. Everyone is normal in the village activities, but they don’t talk to each other, and they don’t say hello when they meet, just like strangers. You also just passed by the village, you should have seen it... Didn’t someone knock on my door just now?”

Chapter 983

I nodded, feeling that this matter is indeed a bit tricky now.

Leaving aside the mysterious burrow, two people died after nothing happened.Evidently there was something terrible lurking down there.

Furthermore, the disappearance of a person and a dead body in this village is also an extremely scratching of the head.My intuition told me that perhaps their disappearance would still be related to that burrow.

I asked Meng Baolu, "Didn't you go back to the cave to have a look? Did the big body and the missing person go back to the cave?"

Meng Baolu nodded: "Of course I went to see it. I did find a person's footprints around there. I suspect it belongs to the missing person. By the way, the missing villager, we all call him Laixi. I used The stone slab pressed by the rock is still there, and there is no trace of being touched by anyone. Laixi should have been there, but left soon. The rock is very heavy, and it has not been moved. I conclude They probably didn't go to the cave. Master, since you are experts, can you help us solve this problem? It's okay to find this person and his body first. Otherwise, I always feel that something big is going to happen, and those villagers, too. I don't know what's wrong with it, alas..."

After speaking, both Meng Baolu and Huang Wenbo looked at me, as if they wanted me to give me an idea.

I thought to myself, this doesn't even have a clue, I could have an idea.But now the fat man and I are still riding a tiger, and we have been kicked out of the shelves, and we can't justify not doing something.

I waved my hand, pinched my chin with my hand in the room, and started pacing.

I also learned this from my third uncle. He usually looks like this when he is thinking.I hope I get some Uncle San inspiration.

I re-filtered in my mind what happened before and after the cave that Meng Baolu mentioned.In addition to the appearance of those villagers I saw, I began to analyze several possibilities based on my little experience.

I knew that this was another problem Meng Baolu posed for us.

If we can't solve it, it doesn't matter if our reputation is ruined, because we don't have much reputation.More importantly, maybe in the future, Meng Baolu will no longer cooperate with us.At that time, our mission this time will come to an end.

I was racking my brains to analyze, and I heard Pang Dahai asking Meng Baolu: "Old village chief, is it possible that this person ran out of the village with his body? You only searched inside the village. Isn't this range a little too small?"

But Meng Baolu shook his head firmly: "This is absolutely impossible. They didn't go outside the village, they were inside the village."

I was taken aback and asked, "Old village chief, why are you so sure?"

Meng Baolu explained: "When you came to the village, you must have crossed the Kunzhou Bridge. I don't know if you have noticed that there is a section of the road near the end of the bridge near our village that is very muddy?"

I nodded, I did notice that.I'm still wondering if it's been raining here a few days ago.

Meng Baolu seemed to see through my mind, and then said: "It hasn't rained here recently. We don't know why, that place, no matter what the weather is, no matter what season, it seems to have been watered by rain, and it remains unchanged all year round. It is muddy. We also took great pains for this. I sent people to use soil pads before and then paved the road on it, but no matter how I did it, after a while, the muddy water would pass through the paved road and return to it. Lay it on Nothing works. The water in the ground is very permeable. So we didn't care about it later. Anyway, the water has always been in that muddy state when it comes back up. Delay our trip."

I understood what Meng Baolu meant, and said, "You mean, after the bodies of those people disappeared, you didn't find their footprints there?"

Meng Baolu nodded and said: "That's right. The road is not very long, but it is not short either. If the two of them cross the bridge, it is impossible not to leave traces there. Unless...unless they fly over, but this is impossible Yes."

"If you haven't left the village, then you are still in the village..." I muttered.

Meng Baolu then added: "Besides, after the day of the accident, I was also afraid that there would be further troubles, so I sent a few more people to take turns guarding the village. Among them, the direction of the village entrance is also the key point of the guarding, because family ugliness should not be publicized. If something goes wrong, we can solve it ourselves, and I am also afraid that outsiders will enter the village. The people on duty at the time did not find them running out of the village."

Pang Dahai asked: "There are people on duty in your village, but they didn't even notice the movement of that person and the dead body?"

Meng Baolu smiled wryly and said, "Isn't the fault here? How else can you say that this is a strange thing? If it is a normal thing, I won't bother the two masters."

Huang Wenbai asked again: "Then when we came in, didn't we find anyone on duty at the entrance of the village?"

Meng Baolu said: "The people in the village have become like that. Why should they be guarded? Now it is unknown whether they can understand what I say. How can they still listen to my arrangements?"

Pang Dahai looked at Meng Baolu and said, "What does the old village chief mean, you are the only one left in the village who is still sober? Then why are you an exception?"

I reminded: "It should be the butcher status of the old village chief who protected him."

Pang Dahai slapped his head: "Grass, my head, I forgot about this stubble. The old village chief killed cows..."

Meng Baolu also nodded, presumably he also understands the matter of yin and yang, it is impossible not to know that he is a butcher, he has a relatively strong viciousness, and ordinary evil spirits will stay away.

But if you admit this, it will show once again that what happened in the village is related to ghosts and ghosts.Generally speaking, as the leader of the village, whether it is the village chief or the patriarch, the last thing he wants is for such a thing to happen in the village.Because of this kind of thing, I don't have some Taoist skills, so I can't handle it at all.

Everyone discussed indiscriminately, and finally looked at me again.

Meng Baolu's eyes were particularly special, as if he was asking, after all this time, did he think of a solution?

In fact, I thought about the whole incident from beginning to end, and I had a preliminary judgment in my heart.

It's just this idea, I don't dare to say that it is sure.Because everything here is too strange for me.The strange environment, strange people, and those weird and bizarre events that I have never seen before will affect my judgment.

Chapter 984

But when things got to this point, I had no choice but to bite the bullet and give it a try.

I took a deep breath and asked Meng Baolu, "Old village chief, is there an ancient well in the village?"

As far as I know, in a village with a long history like this, there must be wells in the village, and the wells are generally ancient wells.Wells were a must-have facility before there was running water in the village.And in such a remote place, even if there is tap water, this kind of well is necessary.Because tap water may not be available for a long time, this kind of underground well water will become the most common source of water for villagers.

So water wells can be said to be one of the necessities of the village.

Sure enough, Meng Baolu nodded: "Of course. The wells in our village are very old, at least hundreds of years old."

I nodded: "That's it...you looked for that person and one corpse, but did you look for that well?"

After I asked this sentence, my heart was also pounding. If Meng Baolu said that he had looked for it, he didn't.Then we will be completely screwed, and then I can only take them around the village, and then I can't get out of here in despair.

Suddenly Meng Baolu's eyes lit up: "Master, you mean, they...they are at the well..."

Seeing Meng Baolu's expression, I felt more confident.They really hadn't looked for the well.

Meng Baolu went on to say: "But...it's unlikely... After the accident, including the disappearance of the dead body, we have been using that well. We haven't found anything..."

I shook my head: "I think that ancient well is the most likely place. The water in the well is cold, especially this ancient well, which is a rare hiding place for those yin creatures."

Meng Baolu's complexion changed slightly, and he said, "well water is yin, and I know that. But we have used that well for so many years, and nothing has happened to it. If it is as you said, it is a rare hiding place for yin things. After so many years, isn't there a lot of... a lot of things hidden in the well?"

I waved my hand: "If everything in the world wants to exist for a long time, it must be inseparable from the four characters of yin and yang balance. This kind of ancient well has been passed down from ancient times. In some places, the wisdom of the ancients is far beyond our imagination. This small well, There are also yin and yang. Well water is yin, but the potter's wheel on the well platform is yang. The ancients would engrave simple scriptures on the potter's wheel, and every time the potter's wheel is turned, it is a process of chanting. .Nature will restrain the coldness of the well water..."

Of course, most of my theories are derived from my third uncle.

At that time, I heard him tell me these things, most of them were listening to stories.I didn't expect that when I got here, my accumulation of these things would have a great effect.

When I tell these things, even Meng Baolu, who is quite familiar with Yin and Yang, has never heard of them.

After hearing this, he was dumbfounded and said: "I didn't expect this ancient well potter's wheel to have such a configuration? I also used that potter's wheel to fetch water, why didn't I find this... Besides, since there is a potter's wheel to suppress the well water, then The evil should not be able to hide in the well water."

I nodded: "Then there is only one possibility, that is, there may be something wrong with the scriptures on the potter's wheel."

Pang Dahai waved his hand: "I said, let's not talk about wars on this paper. We are guessing here and there. It's not too late. Let's go out to the ancient well to see if it's over? If those two things are really in the well, let's take them away." Get it out."

Meng Baolu glanced at me, and I nodded, it will happen sooner or later.No matter how thoroughly we analyze in the room, it will not have any effect on the outcome of the matter.

And whether I can make my own analysis come true, I can only speak with facts.

I glanced at the time, it was already past two o'clock in the afternoon.

Meng Baolu strode to the yard, wanted to open the door, but seemed to remember something, turned back and went into the house.

After a while, he actually came out with a gleaming knife.

I only glanced at the knife and was instantly attracted to it.

That knife is not an ordinary knife at first glance.The blade is very narrow, and the handle is wrapped in black oilcloth, with some patterns engraved on it, which looks antique.

But this ancient rhyme was completely covered up by a blood groove on the knife.Under the direct sunlight, the blood groove on the blade glowed with a dark red light.

It was a kind of bloody light.No need to ask, this knife must be something that Meng Baolu relied on for his survival as a cattle butcher.Maybe it was passed down from the ancestors. This kind of evil weapon must have a strong deterrent effect on those ghosts and evil spirits.

For this kind of family tradition, there must be good things handed down from the ancestors.These things are all fine products that have been baptized by the years and passed through the ages.It is a supreme sharp weapon that has been honed countless times.

The reason why Meng Baolu took out this knife must be because he was afraid of going to the ancient well, so that he could defend himself in case of any accident.

Meng Baolu wiped the blade of the knife with his hand, gritted his teeth and said, "Old man, I haven't used it for a long time, and I have to trouble you again this time."

It can be seen that Meng Baolu suffered a setback at the burrow last time, and let himself lose face.He must be holding back a lot of energy in his heart. There is a high possibility that there are evil spirits haunting the village. This is also arousing the murderous intent that has settled down in his heart.

Meng Baolu, who was full of evil spirit, made his eyes look a lot more ruthless.

Fat Dahai looked at Meng Baolu's knife, and suddenly asked: "Old village chief, I know that by killing pigs. When you killed cows before, did you also wear something like an apron?"

Meng Baolu nodded: "That's right. It's a kind of leather apron."

"Putting on that leather apron will also have a protective effect," Pang Dahai reminded.

I just realized that the ancestor of Pang Haihai's family was also a butcher butcher. It was only later that he didn't want to do this job, so he came out to work.So he is no stranger to this line of work.

After being reminded by Pang Haihai, Meng Baolu went back to the house and found the leather apron, took it out and said, "This thing is dead, I don't wear it. Anyone who wants to wear it can wear it."

"You don't wear it? If you don't wear it, I'll take it away..." Pang Dahai hurriedly brought the leather apron over, and said to me again: "Boss, you might be in danger if you put this on. "

I didn't expect this fat man to really miss me, but looking at the apron, I quickly waved: "I don't wear it either."

Fat Dahai tilted his head to look at it, and said helplessly, "I don't want to wear it, so I'll wear it."

As he said that, Pang Dahai unfolded the leather apron and put it on himself, which made him look a little funny.

Chapter 985

The black leather apron was very thick, and although it had been washed, there were still many bloodstains on it.When killing cattle, this leather apron will block the first blood, so it is also full of hostility.The fat man said that wearing this thing has a protective effect, and he wasn't talking nonsense.

When Pang Hai saw me looking at him, he smiled shyly and said, "Boss, every time we act, I'm always the one who gets hurt. I have to guard against it."

Indeed, I thought about it carefully, and this is really the case.Not to mention, the last time I went to dig a grave in Huangnigou Village, the tomb rat came out and bit the fat man on the shoulder.In that haunted house, Fatty also fell victim and was led to the bathroom. In order to save him, I beat him up with a wooden stick. Up to now he still thinks it was a ghost.

I couldn't help laughing, I didn't expect the fat man to learn to be smart this time, and first made himself a protective cover.

Under the leadership of Meng Baolu, we came out of his house, gently opened the courtyard door, and walked into the village.

Because of this trip, we all knew in our hearts that if the dead body of that person was really under the ancient well, we had a face-to-face meeting with them, and there might be another fierce fight.

Even though it is broad daylight, we have to guard against it.The behavior of the fat man finding a protective cover first added a dignified atmosphere to our actions.

After we walked out, I also put the Dragon Subduing Wooden Sword on my waist, so that I could quickly enter the battle.

After Huang Wenbai came out, he saw that those of us holding weapons were holding weapons, and those of us wearing protective clothing were wearing protective clothing. He was empty-handed, a little confident. Finally, he ran to his donkey cart and took the driving whip from the cart. , hold it tightly in your hand.

I was amused in my heart, and I thought that if I started to use my hands, what effect would this whip have?

I can't tell the truth, our group, led by Meng Baolu, walked towards the ancient well in the village.

Villagers in twos and threes can still be seen on the road, and their faces are still blank.But after we walked past, they avoided a long distance this time.It is different from the situation when we entered the village before.

I know it's for two reasons.One is that with Meng Baolu around, he has a lot of hostility.Another reason is that these people will instinctively avoid the magical artifacts exposed on our bodies.

This also proves that they must be infected with some evil spirits now.

It is actually not easy for a villager to become like this all of a sudden, and this has once again verified my speculation.

The suspicion that there is a problem with that ancient well is the biggest.

Meng Baolu acted as if no one was there, and he didn't care about the reactions of the villagers, his eyes were fixed on the front.

For the convenience of villagers to use water, such wells that are still in use are generally located in the center of the village.

Sanyangpu Village is no exception. After Meng Baolu led us for a distance of tens of meters, a well appeared in front of us.

Like most wells, there is a well platform surrounded by stones at the mouth of the well.There is a potter's wheel on it, and a well rope is wrapped around the potter's wheel, and there is a handle beside it.

Meng Baolu pointed to the well platform and said, "This is the ancient well in our village, go and have a look."

As he said that, Meng Baolu wanted to take us there.

At this time, I suddenly found that, in the direction opposite to us, three people walked over unsteadily.Those three people didn't seem to notice us either, their eyes were fixed on the ancient well not far away.

"I'm going to drive them away." As he said that, Meng Baolu was about to go forward to disperse them. I grabbed him and signaled him not to move. Let's wait and see.

Our group stopped in time.

As for the three people on the other side of the well platform, they didn't know whether they didn't see us, or they saw us and ignored us. They staggered a little and walked all the way to the side of the well platform.

The three of them arrived at the ancient well and looked at the ancient well with focused eyes.

One of them reached out and picked up the handle of the pulley, and threw the bucket into the well.Afterwards, he mechanically shook the handle of the pulley round and round, and it was actually fetching water.

Meng Baolu turned around and glanced at me, and I signaled him to be calm. So far, I haven't figured out what those three people are going to do.

When we passed the village, the villagers seemed to be doing no real work in twos and threes.Most of them get together, don't chat, and don't have much to talk about.It feels like the brains of these people have been emptied, and they stand there like the walking dead.
