Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and saw a man sitting on the ground not far away, his body shaking constantly.
Tang Youyou's heart skipped a beat, and as everyone ran over, they saw many snakes.
Everyone felt their scalps tingling, and one man bravely pulled the man who was sitting on the ground over.
Chief Liu frowned, "Why are there so many snakes?"
Tang Youyou knew that in ancient times, snakes could not be burned to death easily. She felt more and more that someone wanted to scare them away. Her eyes fell on the dark ground, and a sense of crisis arose spontaneously.
She couldn't help but shudder. Curiosity killed the cat. The cat had nine lives, but she only had one.
But what secrets are hidden here?
No, she has to go and find out!
Calling Tang Wu, the two of them walked upstream along the stream.
After walking for about quarter of an hour, we came across a group of women washing clothes by the river.
Tang Youyou winked at Tang Wu, who nodded and went to the village.
She slowly approached the group of women and pretended to wash her hands.
Suddenly a woman noticed her and asked, "Huh? Whose relative are you? Why have I never seen you before?"
She laughed and said, "Sister, I'm lost. Let me rest here for a while!"
The women looked at her strangely when they heard this and said nothing more.
Suddenly, someone glanced at her and whispered, "Huh? Have you heard? Some disaster victims have moved to Xiangyang Village!"
A woman exclaimed, "Oh my god, is this true? Are they trying to kill themselves?"
Tang Youyou interrupted: "Is it the village down there? I just came from there, and those people are living well, there's nothing wrong with them!"
A woman sighed, "What do you know? That village is unlucky and haunted by ghosts. It's been deserted for five or six years!"
Her curiosity grew even stronger, and she looked at the woman with burning eyes. She saw the woman putting the clothes into the basin and was about to leave.
She quickly went up to hold the woman's arm and said, "Sister, please tell me in detail. How can it be so weird?"
The woman pulled her hand away and glared at her. "Could you be one of those disaster victims? I'd say they risked their lives to get here, but they still couldn't escape death. What a sin..."
He just turned his butt and walked away.
Tang You You pretended to sigh, pursed her lips, and said to the others, "You're just being alarmist. I don't believe that!"
"Hey, sister, you're not from Qingshui County, are you? You haven't heard about what happened in Xiangyang Village?"
She laughed and said, "I'm from Mi County next door, and I'm here to visit relatives."
"Hey! No wonder! Xiangyang Village was once a pretty good village, with a much larger terrain than other villages. But seven years ago, the entire village of over 360 people was massacred overnight. No one survived. Sigh... What a sin!"
"I heard that even two-month-old babies aren't spared. Every night, there are ghost lights and babies crying! Someone once stayed there for a night, disbelieving in the superstitions, and went crazy when they came back. Everyone in Qingshui knows about this."
"Don't the government investigate?"
"Hey... the whole village is dead. There's no clue at all. Where do I even begin?"
Tang Youyou frowned even tighter. The woman looked up at the sky and said, "Let's go back to cook. Sister, hurry up and don't go in by mistake."
Tang Youyou didn't know how she left, with a lot of thoughts in her mind. The whole village was massacred overnight?
How deep is the hatred?
It’s so fucking cruel, even crueler than our daily life!
"Sister, sister..." Tang Wu shouted behind him.
She stopped, crossed her arms, and looked at her brother. "What did you find out?"
Tang Wu leaned closer and whispered, "A man told me that there used to be over 300 people in this village, but they were all massacred because of one incident!"
"Oh? What's the matter? Have you learned to keep things in suspense?"
My brother's face turned red and he scratched his head. "I heard that a widow was drowned in a pond for having an affair with a man, and then a month later, a disaster happened in the village!"
Tang Youyou's mouth could fit another egg, and things were getting weirder and weirder!
"I also heard that Xiangyang Village used to have a very good geographical location, one of the best among the nearby villages!"
"Also, I heard that every few days there's a woman and a baby crying, and the villagers nearby have heard it!"
"Can't you just say it all at once? It's like squeezing toothpaste. It takes so long!" she complained.
Tang Wu looked confused, "What is toothpaste?"
Tang Youyou was stunned and wanted to slap herself in the face. She slipped her tongue!
"Your ears aren't working well either. Why are you so nervous? Is there anything else?"
Tang Wu pouted. Why did his sister dislike him so much?
"I heard that the widow is very pretty!"
She turned around and glared at Tang Wu, "You don't have to say that!"
What a joke. If she's not good-looking, would any man want to flirt with her?
The two of them whispered all the way back to Xiangyang Village. At this time, everyone was busy cleaning the ground.
"Niece, you're back? What did you find out?"
Tang Wu told Chief Liu all the information he had sorted out in detail, shocking him so much that he couldn't say a word for a long time.
"Uncle Liu, did you hear any noise last night?" Tang Wu asked cautiously. Even though the sun was shining brightly, he still felt cold.
"There wasn't any noise last night? Could it be that the villagers were just making up stories?"
Tang Youyou replied: "It's very likely!"
Chief Liu had a worried look on his face. He hadn't figured out why there were so many snakes yet, and now the whole village was about to be massacred.
"Those snakes have already been caught and released by the men!"
Tang You You slapped his forehead, "Oh... I forgot to remind you, since those snakes are non-venomous, you can sell them to the restaurant! What a huge loss!"
Chief Liu shook his head slowly. "No! Those snakes might have transformed from the villagers here. They are already miserable, how can we slaughter them again? Sigh..."
Tang Youyou: "..."
Tang Wu wanted to say something but stopped himself. In his heart, he was complaining that Chief Liu actually believed in ghosts and gods. Isn't it said that educated people don't believe in these things?
Nothing happened during the day. Tang Youyou lay down and slowly fell asleep. Just as she fell asleep, she was awakened by the crying of a baby.
The moment she opened her eyes, she found that everyone was huddled together in groups of three or five, shivering.
"Why is there a child crying in the middle of the night?"
"Wuwuwu... There's a ghost, what should we do?"
"It's a snake den during the day and a ghost den at night. We can't stay here!"
"What should we do? We have already settled in Xiangyang Village!"
Chief Liu looked at his son and said, "Dajun, take some people to check it out!"
Daughter-in-law Zhou reminded, "Bring some boy's urine!"
The army endured the fear and brought more than ten men, each holding a torch and a bowl of boy's urine.
Seeing this, Tang Youyou picked up the iron rod and followed behind, for no other reason.
What does she want to see a ghost look like?
Tang's mother couldn't stop her. "Oh my! This little girl is so fierce! I know she's a ghost just by hearing that miserable voice. She's going to die! No, I have to go protect her!"
She followed behind him despite Old Man Tang's obstruction.
