Chapter 423 Where does this expert come from?
Xu Yuan put the dishes and chopsticks on the windowsill, closed the window, and then opened the door of the room.
Xu Zhi, looking flustered, was standing outside the door.
"Sister, I just went to the toilet and saw a big black and white creature running away from the firewood shed. Oh, and why did I see Brother Gu in your room?" Xu Zhi rubbed his eyes and asked in confusion.
She woke up in a daze early in the morning and hadn't even woken up yet when she got two frights in a row. For a moment she didn't know if she was still asleep. How could such an outrageous thing happen?
The door was closed very quickly at that time, and her presence was not noticed at all. Xu Zhi screamed in her dream, and it felt so real. However, due to urgent needs, she heard a noise when passing by the woodshed and saw something even more shocking. She didn't even have time to go to the toilet. Her sleepy mind was awakened directly, even more shocked than Brother Gu in her sister's room. She hurried back and knocked on her sister's door.
When Xu Yuan saw Xu Zhi's uncertain tone and non-committal look, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that she didn't need hypnosis anymore.
But as for that Panda, if it comes over again next time, we must inform Xu Zhi and the others so as not to scare them.
He was thinking in his heart, but pretended to be surprised on the surface, and pulled Xu Zhi into the room, "Ah? Xiaozhi, are you confused after sleeping? Look at what you said, is this reasonable?"
"is it?"
Xu Zhi was half-believing and half-doubting, but after looking around the room, there seemed to be no sign of another person.
After calming down, Xu Zhiren felt the urge to make a wish come back, so he had to leave the wishing room in a hurry.
Xu Yuan took the opportunity to quickly take the dishes and chopsticks on the windowsill into the kitchen, looked at the fire in the stove, and added some firewood.
The sky outside began to turn gray and the chickens in the village began to crow.
The quiet village has returned to its former bustle.
……
When it was bright, Xu Yuan, Uncle Wang, Village Chief Gu and others drove the loaded peanut oil to the county town, one person per car. Xu Yuan also had some dried chilies and peanuts in his car.
The three of them had a smooth journey and arrived at the intersection of Zhupianshan safely. Unexpectedly, they encountered several ox carts and three or two villagers at the intersection leading to the county town.
"Hey, old man, are you from Hsinchu Village?" One of the middle-aged men asked excitedly when he saw Uncle Wang leading the way.
"what?"
Uncle Wang asked, looking confused.
What do these people do? Why do they want to find Hsinchu Village?
Uncle Wang did not comment and continued to pretend that he did not understand.
"Hsinchu Village, don't you know?" Liang Yangbo asked anxiously, his voice a little louder.
Village Chief Gu and Xu Yuan at the back also heard their questions, but they tacitly agreed not to interrupt. Xu Yuan pulled her straw hat down a bit. Fortunately, her clothes were very neutral and not very conspicuous. With the straw hat pulled down like this, she looked like a skinny boy from a distance.
"Ah? You're talking about this, old man. I have heard others talk about this, but they said that this village cannot be found."
It's so winding and the entrances and exits are so hidden, it would be a miracle if you guys could find it. Uncle Wang is very confident that without the guidance of the villagers, no one would have discovered the existence of the village.
As long as the village is hidden enough, it can be a safe, undisturbed retreat.
"Then why did you come out of this bamboo mountain?" Hu Xingye asked half-doubtingly. They had been watching this road for three days, only watching during the day, but they had never seen anyone come out. Until today, they saw someone coming out of this intersection.
They were all villagers from Shangzhu Village. They heard people in the county town talking about how everyone from Xinzhu Village was very talented and that they couldn't be found in the village. They said that there must be a master in Xinzhu Village.
Thinking of the strange things that happened in the village recently, they looked for monks and fortune tellers, but to no avail. They could only try their best. They had already gone to the county government to inquire about the location of Xinzhu Village, and they all advised them not to go deep into Zhupian Mountain at will.
They had no choice but to wait here as they dared not take any risks.
"We are from Zhuhou Village. If we don't come out from here, are we going to fly out?" Uncle Wang said unhappily.
"What are you looking for Hsinchu Village for?"
"Uncle, do you know where Hsinchu Village is? We have something we want to ask for help from people in Hsinchu Village. I heard that there is a master guarding the village, and he might be able to help us."
Uncle Wang showed no expression on his face, but he was very confused in his heart.
Expert, what expert! Where did the expert come from! How come he didn’t know there was such a thing?
The people in this county are really good at spreading rumors, and they just make up stories without any basis in reality.
"I don't know either. I may not be able to help you."
"Oh, forget it. It seems we can only wait for news from the old man surnamed Niu." Liang Yangbo couldn't help feeling a little disappointed. He turned around and sat back on the ox cart.
Uncle Wang from Xinzhu Village heard what they said and looked at their expressions. They didn't seem to be looking for trouble, so he pretended to be gossiping and asked, "What happened in your village that you need to find a master? I heard that asking a master to come out is not something that poor people like us can afford."
"Hey, talking about this matter, we get goose bumps all over. It is really weird and cannot be explained by common sense. It cannot be explained in a few words. Uncle, it is better for you not to know about it. It is better to have less trouble than more." Hu Xingye advised.
But Uncle Wang is not an ordinary man. He became even more excited when he heard this. He would not give up until he heard the whole story. He asked again and again, as if to say, "I will not leave if you don't tell me."
Village Chief Gu and Xu Yuan, who were standing behind them, wanted to pretend that they didn't know the old man.
"Go ahead and talk about it. The topic has come to this point, and it has left this old man in a dilemma. This feeling is the most uncomfortable. I am already so old, and it is just a matter of meeting the King of Hell. It is not a big deal."
Liang Yangbo suddenly regretted why he had asked the old man questions just now, and now it was difficult to get away.
There was no other way but to give a brief description of the strange phenomena in the village. However, when he recalled the situation at that time, he suddenly felt a chill all over his body. It was creepy and scary.
Xu Yuan's eyes tightened when he heard Liang Yangbo's description. The symptoms of the villagers in Shangzhu Village were very similar...
Or maybe she discovered it too late. If she hadn't stopped it, the world would have been in chaos.
