Li Chunqiao and others have tidied up the house and prepared hot water.

Qianghua took a bath, and the rest went to take a bath one after another.

When Li Chunqiao came out of the bathroom, Qianghua called her in front of her and handed her a bag containing fruit gummies wrapped in brown paper.

"Go and inquire about the situation in the village, especially the house that the old man avoids."

"Yes."

It's not too late yet, there's still bright colors, and the busy farmers in the fields are carrying their farm tools and going home.

They were not happy to call it a day and go home, they were all depressed.

Li Chunqiao muttered in her heart, saying something unpleasant would be like killing her family.

Shaking her head and squeaking a few times, she stepped forward to clear the way with candies and asked several people. The result was that they were told not to ask too many questions and to leave as soon as possible tomorrow morning and not to stay in the village for too long.

When Li Chunqiao heard this, she became curious. She turned to the children in the village and tempted them with candies. Sure enough, she asked them something.

This village was cursed, and their family members told them to leave the village as soon as they grow up, so that they can continue to live.

As for why, the children are not sure, but the adults do not allow them to go to the house that the old man avoided before, and they are not even allowed to play in the surroundings. If they go there and are known by the adults in the family, they will definitely get a good beating. .

When Li Chunqiao heard the news, combined with the silent attitude of the people in the village towards that place, she couldn't help but get goosebumps all over her body.

After Jiang distributed some candies to the children, Li Chunqiao forced a smile and said, "It's getting dark, so go back early."

After the children dispersed, Li Chunqiao went back.

Before she reached the door, a wrinkled human head suddenly stuck out from the wall next door and looked at her. She was thinking about what had just happened, and she was suddenly startled, and her heart jumped into her throat!

It took Li Chunqiao a while to realize that this was a living person!

After swallowing, I realized now that she couldn't scream after being frightened!

She breathed a sigh of relief, no, this problem must be corrected, lest no one knows what happened to her when she was scared to death!

"Auntie." Li Chunqiao smiled dryly, "What are you...?"

The lady waved to her and motioned for her to come over.

Li Chunqiao: "..."

To be honest, I don't want to.

But she felt that what the aunt wanted to say to her should be related to what she was asking about.

So Li Chunqiao walked over.

The aunt looked around like a thief, "Are you asking about things in our village?"

Being told directly, Li Chunqiao sneered and didn't know how to answer this question. Although she didn't hide her purpose, she still felt a little uncomfortable when it was said to her face like this.

The aunt didn't care whether she answered or not, and whispered: "Then when my old lady tells you about things in the village, you also give me candy?"

When she said this, the aunt stopped talking, looked at the cloth bag in Li Chunqiao's hand, and swallowed.

Li Chunqiao was stunned and quickly realized that this older man must know more, so he grabbed a handful of candies from the bag and handed them over.

The aunt took it, couldn't wait to peel one off and put it into her mouth. Not only was it sweet, it was also soft, and it didn't take much effort on her teeth.

She held the candy in her mouth and said: "There are few people in our village. That's because most of the people who died have gone to other villages and don't dare to come back. We, a group of old immortals, don't want this land to be abandoned, so we just Didn’t move away…”

Speaking of this, the aunt glanced at the bag containing candy.

Li Chunqiao was sensible and took out a handful and handed it over, but she was not stupid, so she just gave a few words.

The aunt didn't mind it, and after taking it, she continued: "This matter has to be talked about a long time ago..."

There was no calendar back then, and she wasn't sure exactly how many years ago it was.

"At that time, our place was still under the control of Xiao Guo..."

"The people have no food to eat. Even the wild vegetables in the mountains have been dug up. Everyone is very hungry..."

"That family was so hungry that they exchanged children with another family to eat..."

"But after Yi Zi, the children of that family ran away, so another family came to ask for an explanation."

"That family didn't believe it. They thought the other family had eaten the person and refused to admit it."

"Then the two families started fighting, and the fighting was so severe that there was blood."

"A child of that family died, and they were so angry that they came to beat another child to death."

"The feud became deeper and deeper, and eventually both families were almost dead."

Li Chunqiao got goosebumps all over her body and asked quickly: "You haven't thought about reporting to the official?"

The aunt curled her lips and said, "Why didn't you report it? The village chief went to report it to the official, but his grandson was almost beaten to death by those two family members. After what happened, who would dare to go?"

"Just like that, both families are dead."

"We didn't pay much attention at first, but for some reason, people began to die one after another in the village. They would become seriously ill before dying, with pale faces and blue lips..."

"Slowly, there is no one left in the village, and no one dares to come, not even the tax collectors."

The aunt said in a faint voice, "Our village is already a dead village, but precisely because of this, we don't have to pay taxes and we can eat whatever the fields produce."

After that, the aunt added: "The other family that exchanged children with that family, their village is just like our village, everyone is dead, it's terrible!"

The aunt finished speaking.

The candy bag is empty.

Li Chunqiao was so frightened that she wanted to ask the girl to take them away overnight!

"Don't be afraid." Seeing that her words were frightening, the aunt quickly comforted her, "This village has not seen anyone in such a dead state for a long time."

Li Chunqiao: "..."

She sneered, "Thank you, aunt, for telling me all this. It's getting late, so I'll go back first..."

The aunt waved her hand, "Go back, go back."

She had seen it all, and the bag in the other person's hand was empty, so what else was there to say?

Li Chunqiao returned to the house in a hurry and told Qianghua what she had learned.

Qianghua nodded, indicating that she understood.

She also received news from Xiaoba just now. The other family in the village was similar to this village, and they were almost dead.

However, the villagers who died one after another must have contracted some kind of disease and spread it to other people without their knowledge, which is why so many people died.

No one has died now. Either those who survived have adapted to the disease, or the disease has disappeared.

To be on the safe side, Qianghua took out an antidote pill and said, "Put this medicine into the water. Each person will drink a bowl, and the cattle will also be fed a bowl."

"Yes."

After knowing that both families were dead, the matter was over.
