Relocation Brigade

"What's going on in this village! How could this kind of thing be enshrined!" Wu Weiwei couldn't accept it very much, thinking that the people in the village might have made a mistake.

Chen Ling stared at the bronze statue intently, and then looked away after a while: "Go ahead and have a look."

Wu Weiwei nodded, and before he left, he couldn't help but look at the bronze statue of Father Huang's ghost again, full of disgust and rejection in his heart.

There are few modern products in the village, not even motorcycles, and a tassel made of bright yellow cotton thread is hung on every door.

According to Father Huang's habit of wearing yellow clothes, these things should be used to curry favor with him.

The three of them walked around the statue again, but they didn't see any other clues, so they walked to the east road.

The road is narrow, and there are loose and erect small buildings on both sides.

The structure of the small building is very uniform, with a vermilion wooden door and a small window on the second floor upwards.

Not far away, they saw an old woman in a turban through a small window.

The old grandma put her hands on the window sill and was talking to an older grandma at the opposite door. When she heard the sound of walking below, she lowered her head and frowned.

Not afraid of offending people, she directly complained in broken Mandarin: "Why are people here again?"

The person opposite the door held melon seeds in his hand, knocked and glanced at the person below, rolled his eyes, and closed the window with a bang.

Wu Weiwei murmured: "If you don't like people coming in, just put up a sign at the entrance of the village. It's a strange thing."

Chen Ling tugged at him, "Don't talk about it, I heard that in some villages people are united as one, offending one person is like offending a group of people, be careful when the time comes and you will be chased and beaten."

This kind of similar news report is not unprecedented, Wu Weiwei hastily covered his mouth.

Jiang Yu looked at the road ahead and reminded, "Let's go."

The buildings in the village are irregular, the roads cross randomly, and for some reason, I got lost.

Chen Ling took out his mobile phone, but he couldn't load the map no matter what.

On closer inspection, it turned out that there was no signal.

Wu Weiwei said: "I have a compass app here."

He also took out his mobile phone, fiddled with it a few times and then cried, "What's the matter with the compass spinning in circles?"

"There is a problem with the magnetic field." Jiang Yu didn't take the current situation too seriously. He took Chen Ling's cell phone, stuffed it into his trouser pocket, and took advantage of the situation to pull his finger in a direction.

"How do you know where to go?" Chen Ling asked.

Jiang Yu: "The yang energy is strongest there, so it should be in the direction of the hot spring club."

Chen Ling: "..." I have always been curious about what kind of nose my ancestors had!

Wu Weiwei also sighed, brother Jiang is the most awesome, he can tell the direction just by breathing normally without doing anything.From this point of view, is he stronger than Brother Chen?

Jiang Yu refers to the direction due east, and they walked straight along the road, and soon they returned to the Yuanba where they parked at the beginning.

Surprisingly, the corner of the courtyard dam, which was empty before, was now surrounded by a group of people, all of whom were elderly people in their seventies and eighties.

They were next to each other, forming a thick human wall, as if they were besieging someone.

Chen Ling glanced at Jiang Yu: "I'll go and have a look."

He ran over, but before he got close, someone had already spotted him, pulled out from the wall of people, and blocked his way.

Chen Ling was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "Grandpa, I just came here to see how many of you are gathered here, and I'm afraid that something might happen."

The old man is more than 70 years old, hale and hearty, wearing black cotton and linen button-down clothes, a turban of the same color on his head, and holding a cigarette in one hand.

He looked the young man up and down, and snorted coldly: "We welcome you as a guest. If you come to mind your own business, please leave immediately."

The other party's hostility was obvious, Chen Ling pretended not to feel it, and still said with a smile: "Grandpa, of course I'm here as a guest, it's just..."

A cry suddenly erupted in the middle of the human wall, followed by a faint cry for help.

Chen Ling's mouth was still open halfway through the speech, he was quick to gain wisdom, and changed his words accordingly: "It's just that I didn't expect that you would actually offer sacrifices to Father Huang and the Immortal Huang."

As soon as the words Huang Fugui came out, all the villagers present turned their heads and looked over.

The people surrounded in the middle took the opportunity to break free and staggered out of the encirclement: "Help, save me! They are going to kill me!"

It was a young girl, probably in her early twenties.

Her hair was disheveled, her clothes were not the traditional clothes of the village, one foot was bare underneath, and the shoe on the other foot was trampled dirty, and she looked embarrassed.

Chen Ling caught the rushing person and asked anxiously, "Are you okay?"

"Hurry up, there are some lunatics here, get out of here!" Before the girl could stand still, she grabbed the young man's arm and pulled it hard.

Jiang Yu came over and pushed the girl's hand away calmly, "What's going on?"

"They're going to kill me!" Seeing the group of villagers approaching, she quickly stepped back to the side of the car, with her hands behind her, trying to open the door.

It's a pity that the car was not unlocked, and the door couldn't be opened at all. Instead, because of her rash action, a sharp siren sounded.

The sound resounded through the entire area, startling many birds in the forest.

The old man in black who first talked to Chen Ling walked over with a pipe in his hand. He narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at the people huddled beside the car, and said to Jiang Yu who was standing at the front with a smile or not: "Young man, These are all our village affairs, and it is not up to you outsiders to intervene. Hand them over wisely, and leave honestly, otherwise don’t blame us for being rude.”

"Grandpa, now is a society ruled by law. What you did just now is restricting personal freedom. The police found out and came to arrest people." Wu Weiwei stated the matter in the most easy-to-understand way.

The old man in black was indifferent, and turned his head to wink at the other people present, asking them to surround the exit of the courtyard dam.

There is a stance that if you don't make friends, we won't let you go.

Seeing that the situation was wrong, Chen Ling wanted to call the police, and took out his mobile phone again, but there was still no signal.

Wu Weiwei also took out his mobile phone, forget it if there is no signal, and the battery is almost gone, this luck is enough to fuck!

"Calm down." Jiang Yu comforted him, and then the cold expression on his face melted away, becoming gentle and amiable, and he turned and walked to the car, pushing the girl into the crowd.

"No, I won't go." The girl panicked and wanted to go back.

Jiang Yu whispered: "Go back first, and I will save you at night."

The girl froze for a moment and looked back.

There was no emotion in the man's eyes. The kind words and promises just now seemed to be just a pale line.

A person who has no will to save others, of course, will not have compassion.Each has its own fate, and Jiang Yu made the move because of Chen Ling.

Chen Ling didn't know this, and thought that the old ancestor had a cold face and a warm heart. Seeing the girl looking towards him, he smiled and nodded at her, giving him a reassuring look.

Jiang Yu glanced at him coldly, and said, "Chen Ling, come here."

Chen Ling hurried over, stood with him, and asked in a low voice, "What should we do now? Are we really going to leave at night?"

"Well." Jiang Yu whispered, "There are secrets hidden in the village, do you want to find out?"

Think about it, how could you not want to.

The bronze statue of Father Huang in the village was enough to make him interested in staying.

Chen Ling nodded again and again, feeling a little worried in his heart. He has been offended, and it may not be easy to stay.

Jiang Yu raised his hand and tapped him lightly on the head, reminding: "Did you forget the reaction of those people when you mentioned Father Huang ghost just now?"

Chen Ling suddenly remembered.

Surprised, wary, and revered.

This kind of reverence is naturally not directed at him, but at the three words Huangfugui.

After the girl walked into the crowd and was suppressed by them again, Chen Ling walked over and called to the old man in black who was about to leave with the villagers.

The old man was still angry at their meddling, and asked coldly, "Why don't you leave?"

"What happened just now was our fault. I shouldn't have asked about your village affairs without knowing anything. I hope you don't take it to heart, grandpa." Chen Ling put his hands together, his eyes filled with apology.

The old man in black frowned, as if he was judging the authenticity of the other party's words.

Chen Ling continued: "Actually, I'm a tourist at Fengling Hot Spring Hotel. I heard that there is a traditional village here, so I drove here to have a look."

The old man in black lowered his head and fiddled with the shredded tobacco in his pipe, and said with a half smile, "None of my business."

Chen Ling didn't seem to feel his rudeness: "It's just that I didn't expect to see the bronze statue of Father Huang ghost here."

There was a gleam of golden light in the old man's eyes, and his pupils shrank.

Chen Ling smiled humbly, and he was a little more enthusiastic than before: "Father Huang's ghost has great powers, can change everything, and can call wind and rain. He is also a god enshrined on our side."

The old man snorted coldly: "Since he is a god enshrined, why do you still call him a ghost? It's disrespectful!"

Chen Ling didn't change his face and said: "The gods said that whether it's a ghost or a fairy, they are all false names. He only needs to protect the people in the mountains and forests, and he doesn't care about anything else."

The old man continued to snort coldly.

Chen Ling said: "Since we met, we definitely want to worship, but now the sun is high, and the things for worship are not ready, I wonder if we can stay in the village for a while, and we will wait until the worship is over. just go."

The old man hesitated, because what these people did just now made him very unhappy, and they called the gods "ghosts" again, and he wished that these people would go away quickly.

But after thinking about it, I thought it would be good if they could stay.

There are no young and middle-aged people in the village, and these older ones are not easy to move around. They haven't offered fresh livestock to the gods this month.

After a short thought, the old man in black put on a look of reluctance: "You can stay, but you are not allowed to ask questions, and you are not allowed to run around. I will place you in the ancestral hall. When things are ready, worship You must leave immediately."

Chen Ling tentatively said: "But you also saw that we don't have anything to worship, and we may need to go out of the mountain..."

"Chicken, duck, sheep, and rabbit must be from our village." The old man in black said in an undeniable tone.

This sounds like a scam!

Chen Ling endured it and forced a smile, "Okay, everything is up to your arrangement."

The ancestral hall is located in the northwest of the village, and it is also a stone building.The inside is cool and quiet, the roof is blue-black tiles, with four transparent bright tiles mixed in to let the light from the sky fall down.

Coincidentally, the four beams of light fell in four directions.

If it is connected in the middle, it is a regular square.

Wu Weiwei wrinkled his nose, sniffed it carefully, frowned and said, "Brother Chen, do you smell it? It smells weird here."

Chen Ling went to the side and squatted down, and lifted a corner of the hand-woven carpet in the middle, revealing the deep black floor below.

Wu Weiwei approached, got up abruptly and backed away, and quickly fanned the air with his hands: "The smell is coming from there."

Chen Ling also felt disgusted, but there was nothing he could do. He was very curious, so he just rubbed it with his fingers, and lifted it up into the air to examine it carefully.

It's black, it's better to say it's too thick dark red.

Just about to get closer to identify the tip of his nose, Jiang Yu's hand suddenly reached out, grabbed his hand, and wiped it clean with a tissue.

His jaw tightened, as if he didn't like this place very much: "Don't smell it, it's blood, animal blood."

The animal blood that could not be washed clean accumulated over a long period of time, forming a thick thick black layer.

Wu Weiwei walked away in disgust: "This place looks so weird."

Who says it is not? Leaving aside the enshrined Father Huang ghost, the population structure of the village is quite strange.

Chen Ling observed carefully, the people who surrounded the girl before were all white-haired old people, and one or two of them were even wearing crutches.He felt that the young and middle-aged people in the village might have gone out for something, or they might not have come out to participate in the containment operation, so he observed carefully all the way to the ancestral hall.

Those who poked their heads out to watch the excitement were all old people.

Jiang Yu took the backpack off the young man's shoulder and held it in his hand. He took out the water bottle, opened it, and handed it to his lips: "Drink some water first."

Chen Ling raised his head and took a sip, wiped off the water stains from the corners of his lips, and asked, "Brother Jiang, have you noticed that there are no young people in the village?"

"Well." Jiang Yu raised his head, looked over the patio, and looked at the foggy sky, "There is no youthful yang energy here, only the dead energy of old age."

Wu Weiwei asked in a daze, "Where did those young people go?"

"Maybe he ran away?" Chen Ling guessed, "Just now the old man in black said that besieging the girl was a matter of their village, which means that the girl should also be from the village."

"But if they were from the village, why did they treat that girl like that?" Wu Weiwei was puzzled and felt a little contradictory.

Chen Ling handed the water to Jiang Yu, and when the other party took it, he shook his head, "I don't know, maybe we should ask in person."

Wu Weiwei walked to the door, grabbed the door frame and looked out, "Shall we go now?"

"En." Chen Ling nodded his chin, and his eyes fell on Jiang Yu.

In the case of not being able to use the mobile phone, the only one who can inform them smoothly is the ancestor. No one can travel thousands of miles and see all directions except him.

Jiang Yu was amused by the young man's calculating eyes, but his face was tense.

Chen Ling moved closer, looked up at him, and grabbed the man's sleeve with one hand.Feeling that this is not very intimate, fingertips slipped down, held the man's fingers that were hanging casually, and whispered: "Weiwei and I are going out for a while, and we will be back soon. Brother Jiang, can you stay and watch?"

Jiang Yu pursed his lips, unmoved.

Chen Ling took a look at Wu Weiwei, making sure that he didn't even have an out of the corner of his eye, and tiptoed to kiss the man on the lips, "Is that okay, huh?"

Jiang Yu was so teased that his mouth was parched, he licked his lower lip, and lowered his head to carry the backpack for the young man, "This benefit is not enough, wait until you go out to make up for it."

"Okay." Chen Ling readily agreed.

Jiang Yu slid his palm onto the young man's waist, and pushed it out, "Go."

There is no one guarding the ancestral hall, but there is a small building on each side.There was an old lady sitting by the window in each building, shouting and chatting about ten meters away, while staring at the entrance of the ancestral hall.

It is obviously not possible to go out from the main entrance. It seems that we can only climb over the wall.

Fortunately, the walls are also built of stones, and you only need to step on the gaps with your toes to climb smoothly.Soon, the two climbed up the wall one after another and jumped to the ground together.

Chen Ling looked at the empty alleys on both sides, not sure which side to go.

Wu Weiwei asked, "What should I do?"

Chen Ling didn't know either, so after thinking about it, he gave a very unreliable suggestion: "Assist troops and generals, whichever side counts?"

"..." Those who are unfamiliar with the place of life seem to be the only ones to do so.

Wu Weiwei closed his eyes and swiped his fingers left and right while reading.The last word fell, and the fingertips hung in the west.

"Then go left." Chen Ling turned around and left.

Wu Weiwei gritted his teeth and followed, walking quickly but lightly, moving forward against the wall.

Not long after, the person in front stopped suddenly, before he had time to brake, he bumped into Chen Ling's back.

Chen Ling almost cried out in pain, covered his mouth with both hands, and gestured for someone to pass by.

The two of them stuck to the wall tightly and waited until someone left before going out again.

The road here has seven turns and eight turns, which are intricate and complicated, and the two of them can only run around with their heads covered.Just as they were once again stuck in whether to go left or right, they heard a burst of crying.

Chen Ling carefully discerned that the voice should come from behind.

Wu Weiwei looked at him, and climbed up the wall behind him first. There was no one in the yard, but there was movement in the house.

Afraid that the other party would come out suddenly, he didn't dare to let Chen Ling act rashly.But the commotion inside was getting louder, and just as he was about to climb down the wall to hide, a person suddenly rushed out of the room.

It was a very old woman with ragged clothes, skinny as dry wood, long and dirty hair, covering most of her weather-beaten face.

She didn't seem to see the person on the wall, she was babbling and walking straight to the door.

There seemed to be a lock on the door, and it fell to the ground with a few pushes by her.

Outside the door, Chen Ling was taken aback and was about to run away when voices came from the left.

When he was in a dilemma, a man with disheveled hair dangled in front of him, and the words in his mouth were vaguely like: "Dead, dead, all dead..."

Realizing that this person was not mentally normal, he brushed against the wall and brushed against him, and entered the yard directly from the main entrance.

Wu Weiwei quickly jumped down, dragged his brother Chen away: "I feel that girl is locked in the back room."

They climbed over the wall again, and sure enough, they found the girl's trace in the small stone building behind the yard.

The girl was crying and shouting inside, while outside the door, an old man was squatting guarding.

There was a bowl of wine in his hand, and peanuts on the table. He seemed a little bored, so he turned his head and yawned.

Chen Ling took out a body-fixing talisman and threw it out. It was impartial, and it just stuck to the opponent's back.

After the man yawned, he found that he couldn't close his mouth, and hurriedly tried to sit upright, but he was stunned, he couldn't even move his body!

Chen Ling came behind the other party, took off the key easily, and threw it backhand to Wu Weiwei.

Wu Weiwei opened the door, went in and brought the man out. He whistled when he saw the girl jumping into the madwoman's yard when he was on the top of the wall.

Chen Ling stepped back towards the wall, and was about to climb up, when Jiang Yu's voice suddenly came to his ears: "Someone is coming."

The familiar yet unfamiliar cold breath sticks to the skin of the ear, causing a layer of goosebumps.

Sensitively, Chen Ling rubbed his shoulders against his ears, "Right away."

He and Wu Weiwei used to run around randomly, and it was all luck to find out the place. Now, it is undoubtedly a big problem for them to return to the ancestral hall in the shortest time.

Chen Ling climbed up the wall and whispered, "Brother Jiang, show me the way."

"Go straight east after landing, and turn right at the third house." Jiang Yu's body seemed to be wrapped around the young man. Use the tip of your tongue to lick each other's earlobe.

In broad daylight, you can't just rely on yourself to be able to hide your figure and just be like that.

Chen Ling ran out of breath, and said to Wu Weiwei in front of him, "Turn right at the third house ahead, hurry up."

Wu Weiwei pulled the girl and ran not too quickly, "Brother Chen, is someone going to enter the ancestral hall?" Otherwise, why are you in such a hurry all of a sudden.

Chen Ling nodded indiscriminately, and continued to command after listening to Jiang Yu's words, "Turn left after running to the end."

Wu Weiwei still has a leisurely gossip: "But our mobile phone has no signal, how did Brother Jiang contact you?"

"There was a bar just now, but now it's gone." In order to prove that what he said was true, he took out his phone and Wu Weiwei looked at it, and it really showed "no signal".

Wu Weiwei sighed: "Then we are lucky enough, there will be a signal when we report the letter."

Chen Ling didn't answer, and looked back at the staggering girl, "Are you okay?"

The girl was panting so badly that she had no time to speak, so she nodded quickly.

The road Jiang Yu said was a shortcut, and they saw the gate of the ancestral hall as soon as they turned at the end.

As soon as he entered the door, there was the sound of talking outside the door, followed by another group of people who seemed to be chasing the escaped girl.

Two groups of people met in the ancestral hall and rushed in aggressively.

All three were found standing in the ancestral hall, and one of them gritted their teeth and said, "Where did you hide them!"

Chen Ling showed a confused expression: "What's wrong? Who is it?"

"Still pretending to be a fucker!" He stumbled in Mandarin, but the curse was very smooth, "Jin Yu couldn't have escaped from the firewood room alone without anyone's help, you must be helping!"

A person next to him said: "What did you do to Lao Liu? Why can't he move all of a sudden!"

"We don't even know who the Jin Yu you mentioned is, so how can we help her escape?" Chen Ling said innocently, "As for the sixth child you mentioned, I'm sorry, I really don't know him, sir."

"Jin Yu is the little bitch today!" A female voice shouted.

Chen Ling sighed: "Everyone, we really haven't left here for a moment. If you don't believe me, if you don't believe me, you can ask the two old ladies who guard us."

The group of people who were looking for someone immediately called out the two guards, and the answer they got after questioning must be negative.

Another group of people held chickens, ducks, sheep and rabbits in their hands. They seemed to be in a hurry. At first, the old man in black who had talked with Chen Ling stood up and pointed with a long pipe: "If people run away, hurry up and chase them. Find out, what time is wasting here."

He spoke the village dialect, which Chen Ling couldn't understand, but he could guess a thing or two based on his expression and tone of voice.

The faces of those people were very ugly, they refused to give up and said: "We want to search the ancestral hall!"

"Who dares!" The old man in black sternly taught, "The Yellow God is enshrined in the ancestral hall, you are disrespectful to do this! You will be punished by heaven!"

Chen Ling was dumbfounded and almost couldn't keep his mouth shut in surprise.

All over the world, there are two gods who can be called the Yellow God.One is the Yellow Emperor, and the other is the Yellow God, the envoy of the Heavenly Emperor.

Chen Ling didn't expect that a mountain spirit and ghost would dare to enjoy the title of God, because he thought he didn't live long enough and wanted to die.

With a sneer at the corner of Jiang Yu's mouth, he suddenly said, "If I'm right, then the girl is used for sacrifice?"

The villagers all looked over in unison, all shocked.

Chen Ling and Wu Weiwei were also stunned at the same time.

As the villagers got older, their bodies became thinner and rickety. Standing in front of Jiang Yu, he was more than half shorter. He lowered his eyes, as if looking down at the ants, "I guessed it." "If this is the case, compared to escaping the sacrifice, just searching the ancestral hall should be nothing, right?"

The arresting villagers came to their senses, and the leader said: "Yes, if the sacrifice escapes, the Yellow God will be really angry and punish him!"

The people headed by the old man in black felt loose, and said reluctantly: "Then search, but you can't touch anything in the ancestral hall!"

"Don't worry, we have a sense of proportion." After speaking, the group of people began to search the ancestral hall in several groups.

They searched under the altar, on the beams, behind the curtains, even the flower beds and water tanks that could not hide, but found nothing.

The old man in black scolded: "Since there is no one, go to other places to search! If you don't chase after me, you will really run away!"

Another group of people who packed the ancestral hall to the brim left quickly and went to search other places.

After leading the people away, the old man in black ordered people to bring up the livestock with bound legs and feet, and put them on the carpet: "These are the healthiest livestock with the most tender meat that I have asked people to pick out from the village. Take a look and give me the money."

Chen Ling glanced at the pitiful little animal, and asked, "Then where should we sacrifice?"

The old man in black pointed to the carpet under their feet: "It's right here."

Chen Ling disagreed: "No, according to the rules of our hometown, we must sacrifice in front of the bronze statue of Father Huang's ghost."

The old man in black refused to give in, and his tone was a little impatient: "Do as the Romans do, since you are here, you have to follow our rules."

Chen Ling was also very stubborn: "Then I don't want these things anymore, let's go now."

"It's late." The old man in black snorted coldly, and the others immediately surrounded Chen Ling and the others, "Today's worship must be held."

"Use our money to buy chickens, ducks, sheep and rabbits, and then I will help you worship." Chen Ling sneered, "Old man, you have a good plan."
