There are many ghosts on the road of alms

The rabbit was just thinking in his heart, let Chu Liu quietly bring some food back, but he didn't think about going to eat together.

Seeing the rabbit hiding behind him, Chu Liu stood in front of the rabbit, blocking the village chief's gaze, and said, "It doesn't need to go as a rabbit. Food has been prepared for it."

"Oh, is that so?" The village head glanced at the rabbit hiding behind Chu Liu, sighed as if he was disappointed, and walked out the door, "I thought someone would only be interested in Xiangju, Bai Rang The villagers did it, what a pity."

When the rabbit heard the word Xiangju, his ears immediately perked up.

"Old man, what are you talking about? Xiangju?" The rabbit jumped out from behind Chu Liu and asked the village head.

"Yes, Xiangju, Shennong Xiangju." The village chief stroked his beard and said with a smile: "The Xiangju fried with lilies is sweet and not greasy. It tastes very good. Do you want to eat it?"

Rabbit nodded vigorously.

Seeing the rabbit drooling, Chu Liu went up and punched it in the head, which was really embarrassing.

Three people and one rabbit followed the village head to the next room. It turned out that the tall and colorful house belonged to the village head. Since the village head's house was close to the entrance of Shennongjia, Chu Liu took a special look at the situation at the entrance.

"Heh!" Chu Liu couldn't help gasping.

"What's the matter?" Seeing that Chu Liu was behind, Liu Qinyan walked to Chu Liu's side, and seeing Chu Liu pointing to the direction of the entrance, she also looked over.

Liu Qinyan took a closer look and was stunned.

I saw eight slightly tall tombstones standing in front of the entrance. If I didn't look carefully, I thought it was a sign or something.

The eight tombstones were placed very neatly, like fences blocking people from entering. At first glance, it looked like a monster with a bloody mouth open, and the row of tombstones looked like a monster's teeth.

"What are you looking at? Go and eat." The rabbit looked at where the two were not moving, and urged, "Oh, what's so interesting about it, I saw it when I came out."

"You came out? When did you come out?" Chu Liu asked.

The rabbit was too lazy to leave, so he jumped into Chu Liu's arms and said, "When I went to Luoyan Mountain, this place was close to City N, so I would come out from here. Otherwise, how would that old man know me?"

"Oh, no wonder the village head is a little strange, maybe you stole food when you left, maybe you will have to pay for it this time."

"It doesn't seem right." Listening to the conversation between Rabbit and Chu Liu, Liu Qinyan suddenly thought of a question, "Rabbit, when did you go to Luoyan Mountain?"

"20 years ago, what happened?" Rabbit looked at Liu Qinyan strangely.

"Is that what the village chief looked like 20 years ago?"

"This..." The rabbit didn't notice this problem at all, because it recognized the village head at a glance, as if it left yesterday and came back today, but according to Liu Qinyan, it found that the village head seemed to be 20 years old. Years have not changed.

Seeing the shocked expression on the rabbit's face, Chu Liu and Liu Qinyan guessed that the village chief was the one from 20 years ago, and he was not old enough for the rabbit to admit his mistake.

"My friends, if you have any questions, you can ask them after dinner. Let's eat first." The village chief standing at the door said.

Chu Liu looked at the village chief and decided to continue to observe the situation. The whole village seemed peaceful on the surface, but there was always a strange feeling hidden, which made Chu Liu want to find out, "Okay, let's Come."

People are like iron, and food is like steel. If you miss a meal, you will be hungry.

Looking at the five dishes and one soup on the table, my appetite was whetted, and I started to eat with my chopsticks.The grandson of the village head was also at the banquet, his face was blue, he was thin and small, he seemed to be malnourished, when they saw him on the sixth day of the first day, the child didn't react at all, he was colder than Liu Qinyan.

"This is my grandson Shitou. He is 7 years old this year. He has a withdrawn personality. Please don't take offense." The village chief patted his grandson's head.

"It's okay, it's just that the child doesn't seem to be in good health, and he may need to make up for it." Sun Yu glanced at the stone, and found that he was so thin that only his bones were left. If it was in their house, he would not eat it It has to be stuffed hard.

Chu Liu also felt that Shitou's body was not healthy, but he couldn't say anything, so he could only continue to eat.

"Old man, your fragrant chrysanthemum is very delicious." The rabbit's three-petal mouth didn't stop, and he knew how to eat it.

Seeing that the rabbit liked it, the village chief put some more on the rabbit's plate, "I got the seeds of this fragrant chrysanthemum from Shennongjia a long time ago, and then tried to plant it in the village. It just happened to be edible, so I tasted it." taste."

"Then you are very good, this fragrant chrysanthemum can't survive outside Shennongjia." Rabbit praised.

This kind of chrysanthemum, also called Shennong chrysanthemum, can be said to be a special product of Shennongjia. The whole plant of this kind of chrysanthemum exudes a strong sweet smell, which is the first-class raw material of natural essence. , the sweetness will gradually disappear.

Seeing the rabbit "creaking" chewing, Chu Liu and Liu Qinyan didn't take a bite, they didn't like the taste.

"How many children are full?" The village chief asked after seeing that everyone had put down their chopsticks.

"Thank you, village head, for your hospitality." Liu Qinyan cupped her hands in thanks, and Chu Liu and Sun Yu also cupped their hands.

"You're welcome, the visitor is a guest, but you want to leave the rabbit after eating, isn't it good? Last time you ate food in the village for more than half a month, aren't you going to say something?" Seeing that the rabbit had quietly fled to the door, the village chief said.

Seeing that the rabbit couldn't hide, he had no choice but to return to the table slowly.

"Didn't you just come out of Shennongjia last time? I haven't seen so many delicious foods." The rabbit also knew that he was wrong, and his words were a little lacking in confidence.

"Village Chief, the rabbit is just greedy, please forgive me, why don't we leave some supplies." Chu Liu felt that Sun Yu had to pay anyway, so it's better to pay back the debt of the rabbit.

The village chief shook his head when he heard the words, "There is no need to pay, just let the rabbit go back to Shennongjia to get some seeds, because people in our village can't leave this forest, and can't enter Shennongjia."

Hearing this, Chu Liu wondered: "Then the villagers have never had contact with outsiders?"

"Yes, no outsiders will enter, and no villagers will leave. You are the second wave of people I have seen. The last wave is his relatives."

At this time, Liu Qinyan suddenly thought of Shi Shi's body, "Who is the marriage partner in the village?"

"You're right, it's basically a union of close relatives."

When the village chief said this, Liu Qinyan understood that because the village was isolated from the outside world, the villagers could only intermarry among themselves, but this caused many problems.The physical condition like a stone is completely innate and determined by genes, no matter how much nutrition is added, it cannot be improved.

"Didn't the village consider going outside to develop?" Chu Liu felt that the village head should not choose closed development because of his knowledge.

However, the village chief shook his head.

"We also hoped to change it, but unfortunately we were cursed." The village chief said with a sad expression on his face, "If we leave the vicinity of the village, we will be itchy and scratch ourselves to death in the end, so no one will Thinking about leaving."

Hearing this way of death, even a man like Sun Yu felt terrified. If he was from this village, he probably wouldn't think of running away.

"And the people in our village live extremely long lives, especially the village head, who can live to be 150-200 years old." The village head took out something that looked like a cigarette, lit it and smoked it: "By the way, before you You must have seen the tombstones under the cliff, those tombstones belong to the village chiefs, since our village guards here, there are several village chiefs who have died, so there are several monuments."

"Well, the longer I live, the more I hope someone can help break this curse."

……

Listening to the village chief talking to himself, Chu Liu closed his eyes and entered a strange state.She always felt that she had fallen into a quagmire, and this quagmire happened to be related to her catastrophe, but the more she tried to think about the causal relationship, the more blurred it became.

"Chu Liu, what's the matter? Are you feeling unwell?" Liu Qinyan asked with concern when she saw Chu Liu's eyes closed.

"No, don't worry." Chu Liu was inexplicably annoyed, and opened his eyes to look at the village chief, intending to ask directly: "Village chief, what did you mean when you said that we should not have the intention of entering Shennongjia?"

The village chief didn't expect that the sixth day would reveal the truth, so he couldn't help being startled for a moment, and then he said seriously: "Because the village has always passed down the ancestral precepts, outsiders are not allowed to enter from here, otherwise the village will be wiped out."

"But……"

Before the sixth day could speak, the village head said directly: "I know what you want to say. This rabbit is originally from Shennongjia. It can enter, but you can't enter. You can only go out and not enter here. This is the rule, you can't Change." The voice fell, and the village head took a sip from the teacup, "Stone, see off the guests."

"Old man, you!" Sun Yu saw that the village chief said he would turn his back on him, so he slapped the table angrily, and was about to stand up and argue.

boom!

The gate of the village head's house was knocked open, and several big men ran in when they heard the sound, protecting the village head.

"Sun Yu, don't get excited, let's go back first, it's time to go to bed." Chu Liu grabbed Sun Yu and told him not to be impulsive.These big men should have been guarding the door all the time. If they really wanted to fight, the three of them would definitely suffer if they couldn't use their power. "I'm sorry for the village chief. Let's leave for now."

When the three of them and one rabbit were about to reach the door, the village head said in a deep voice: "A few words of advice to my friends, Wu Village is haunted at night, and the villagers will not go out. If you have nothing serious, please don't go out. Once you go out Problems, at your own peril.”

Chu Liu's eyes lit up when he heard the words, and he replied, "Thank you, village chief, for letting me know."

After going out, the rabbit was about to speak when Chu Liu covered his mouth, "If you have anything to say, let's go back to the house and talk about it."
