Chapter 34: Weird Village
Chapter 34: Weird Village
The carriage arrived at the entrance of Wuya Village at sunset, and passing through Wuya Village was the Yanyang Wood Forest.
Although it was dusk, the square at the entrance of Wuya Village was bustling with people coming and going, and everyone's face was filled with festive smiles. The big banyan tree at the entrance of the village was hung with big white lanterns.
Wuya Village is a large village nearby.
The population is tens of thousands.
This was also Fu Shaoping's first arrival.
The aisle at the entrance of the village was filled with paper figures.
Fu Shaoping's carriage couldn't get in, so it had to stop. He was just about to ask the villagers to clear the road.
Suddenly.
A dark shadow rushed towards him.
The black shadow was hidden among the paper figures. Fu Shaoping had not noticed it before, but his reaction speed was extremely fast.
He immediately used the "Piaomiao Footwork" and dodged.
The black shadow missed his target and fell hard.
Upon closer inspection, I realized that the black shadow was actually a living person.
The woman had her hair loose, and her white robe was covered in ash, turning it dark. Her chest was open, and her two plump breasts were trembling.
The woman fell down but didn't cry out in pain.
He crawled towards Fu Shaoping using both feet:
"Sir, Sir, please save my child. My child has been kidnapped. Sir, please save my child. My child has been kidnapped."
It's just these few sentences going back and forth.
at this time.
The people who were busy in the square had just put up the last sacrificial pillar when they turned around and saw Fu Shaoping in the uniform of the Zhenwu Guards. Their faces turned pale instantly.
among them.
The priestess who was directing the crowd in the square glared at the middle-aged man behind her:
"Qiu Chang, keep your crazy woman under control!"
"I clearly locked the door when I went out."
The middle-aged man had a bitter look on his face and seemed to be very afraid of the priestess. He took a few quick steps forward, saluted Fu Shaoping first, and then stepped forward to take his wife away.
But the woman in white was holding onto the corner of Fu Shaoping's clothes tightly, refusing to let go, and looked at Fu Shaoping sadly:
"Sir, please save my child. My child has been kidnapped. Sir, please save my child! Sir."
The crowd in the square.
At this moment, their expressions all changed and they looked at Fu Shaoping nervously.
The priestess's eyes sternly said:
"What are you still standing there for? Hurry up and help pull the person away, or you won't offend the adults!"
"Yes!"
Everyone agreed in unison.
He hurried forward and lifted up the screaming woman, then hurried towards the village.
The priestess stepped forward, bowed, and apologized:
"Sir, I'm so sorry. Mrs. Qiu had a difficult delivery and the baby died right after it was born. She couldn't accept the bad news and became crazy. She told everyone that her child was kidnapped. Alas, the dead baby was buried by her husband on the Five Fingers Slope under the Yanyang Wood Forest."
Qiu Chang on the side quickly echoed:
"Yes, yes, I buried the child with my own hands. I buried the child with my own hands."
Fu Shaoping frowned.
He didn't say a word.
The priestess seemed to be afraid that Fu Shaoping would misunderstand something, so she just kept talking to herself.
Anyone with a discerning eye can see that something is wrong.
No.
It should be that the villagers in the entire village looked at him with an abnormal look in their eyes. There was no awe at all, but instead it seemed as if they were blaming him for rashly trespassing into their territory.
Fu Shaoping glanced at the altar surrounded by five sacrificial pillars.
There is an altar in the center of the altar.
The altar was decorated with flowers, but it was empty. At first glance, it looked like a coffin waiting for a body to be put into the coffin:
The entire square.
Except for the priestess who spoke.
The others were silent, as if they had been poisoned and silenced.
Fu Shaoping began to have doubts in his heart.
Plan to stay put.
First go into the woods to find Old Zhan and find out a little about the situation.
So he just waved his hand and said:
"Clear the passage, I want to go through." "Wait a moment, sir."
The priestess seemed to be relieved. She waved her hand and the villagers immediately stepped forward and moved the paper figures away.
As Fu Shaoping drove the carriage out of the square, he saw a woman stumbling over from the end of the village:
"Master Priest, Chunhua is about to give birth, about to give birth!!"
At this time, the carriage had already moved away from the square.
Fu Shaoping looked back.
But the villagers, led by the priestess, were seen holding white lanterns and walking towards the end of the village in a mighty procession.
All of this is weird no matter how you look at it.
"shelf!"
Fu Shaoping whipped the Qingzao horse and increased the speed.
Through the village.
When we are almost at Yanyangmulin.
From afar, one can see graves scattered all over Wuzhi Slope. However, these graves are just small mounds of earth with simple wooden boards placed on them. On the boards are written "child of so-and-so family" without even the name. It is obvious that this Wuzhi Slope is specially used to bury children who died prematurely.
only.
The entire Wuzhi Slope is densely covered with graves, there are no less than thousands of them, which is really horrifying.
"Da da da"
The carriage drove in from a path in the middle.
When it reaches the middle.
Suddenly.
He saw a ghost face suddenly appearing in a grave on the left. He was almost startled. It was called a ghost face because half of the face looked like it had been bitten off alive, leaving a hollow space.
"who are you?"
Fu Shaoping is a martial artist after all.
Although I was scared.
But I'm not afraid.
He just clenched the Zhenwu sword in his hand.
"Yeah!"
The ghost face uttered a strange cry, and like a monkey, it flashed among the graves. In a blink of an eye, it disappeared among the densely packed graves, and its figure could not be found.
The situation is unknown.
Fu Shaoping resisted the urge to chase after him.
I plan to find Old Zhan and ask him about the situation first.
After passing through Wuzhipo.
A high wall comes into view.
There is a stone gate a hundred feet high at the entrance of the east wall, which is the entrance to Yanyang Mulin.
The Yanyang wood is a first-grade, top-grade spiritual wood. Whether it is used for alchemy or refining, it is an excellent spiritual material. Dozens of Dongri dogs are raised in the forest to guard the forest.
"Boom boom boom!"
Fu Shaoping knocked on the stone door.
A man popped his head out of the bunker behind the wall and shouted:
"Who and what?"
"Zhenwu Guard Fu Shaoping, come to see Captain Zhan!"
talking.
Fu Shaoping raised his Zhenwu Order towards the bunker.
After waiting for a while.
The door creaked open slowly.
An apprentice Zhenwu Guard came out, apologized, and after checking Fu Shaoping's Zhenwu Order, he let him go: "Captain Zhan is in the small building in the forest on the west side. Sir, the forest is too big. I will lead the way for you later."
There are also a large number of criminals in the forest who are responsible for cutting down Yanyang wood.
When driving through the woods, we saw a shirtless criminal with anklets on his feet carrying Yan Yangmu to the recycling area. It was getting dark, and it was obviously time to finish work.
The small house in the forest is a building on stilts.
On the first floor.
From a distance, Fu Shaoping saw Old Zhan dozing off on a wooden rattan chair.
