Chapter 159 Go up the mountain to check
Lin Xi also came to the village early in the morning today, but saw traces of burning paper near his own silkworm house, and the things placed next to it looked like offerings.
Wang Jing was amazed. "It turns out that businessmen are more or less afraid of ghosts and gods, and you are no exception."
Lin Xi shook his head, "I didn't order this to be made."
She called Cui Lili and the other two over, and they all said that it was not them who did it.
Zhang Chengye said, "Recently, there have been many rumors in the village, saying that we are disrespectful to the mountain gods, which has led to strange things happening. I guess someone is scared and came here to pray for peace."
Lin Xi had indeed heard that there had been a series of cases of children suffering from allergies in the village recently, but she absolutely did not believe that it was related to the so-called mountain god.
"Hey, did you hear that the rice fields of the village head were burned last night?"
A group of people passed by them, talking.
Lin Xi was very surprised. Before, the child had a rash, and now the fields were burned.
Xue Lili sighed and said, "That's right. Last night, the Zhao family burned an acre of land. Fortunately, the fire was put out quickly and half of it was saved."
Immediately afterwards, Lin Xi and others saw more and more villagers heading in one direction.
A few people didn't understand what was going on, so they decided to go and take a look.
Finally, everyone stopped in front of Zhao Tan's house.
Lin Xi thought that everyone was here to care about the village head's fields, but the man leading the group said, "Village head, strange things keep happening in this village. Maybe it's some evil spirit. Why don't we find a Taoist priest to take a look?"
The man's proposal was supported by many people in the village. No one understood why these things happened and could only explain it as supernatural.
Zhao Tan stood in the crowd, looking somewhat embarrassed.
"Yes, Li Zheng, no matter what, if you invite a Taoist priest, we can all feel more at ease."
"How can we live in fear every day? At best, we can pool some money and hire a master to come and take a look."
Zhao Tan frowned and said, "It's not that I don't want to, but I have never come into contact with these people, and I don't know where to find them."
At this moment, Zhao Tan raised his eyes, his gaze fell on Lin Xi through the crowd, "Lin Xi, you have been running a shop in town, you should know something about it."
As soon as he finished speaking, everyone turned their heads and stared at Lin Xi.
Lin Xi couldn't even laugh. It seemed as if she understood the meaning behind Zhao Tan's words.
"How could the head of the village think that I knew him?" Lin Xi said calmly, "I have never understood these contents."
Zhao Tan looked calm, "If that's the case, then I'll have to think of a solution."
Wang Jing leaned close to Lin Xi and whispered, "Why do I feel like this is targeting you?"
Lin Xi said, "We are outsiders, so it's normal for us not to be liked."
"A dragon in shallow water is bullied by shrimps, and a tiger in the plain is bullied by dogs." Wang Jing sighed.
Zhao Tan could not resist the villagers' request, so he immediately got on the ox cart and prepared to go to invite the Taoist priest.
When he passed by Lin Xi, he suddenly stopped and said, "Boss Lin is so rich, can you cover some of the expenses? We don't have a public account in our village."
Lin Xi was not at all surprised by Zhao Tan's request, and the surrounding villagers seemed to think it was natural.
"As a wealthy local, you have the obligation to shoulder part of the responsibility. I think Boss Lin would not be unwilling to do so." Zhao Tan said.
This small amount of money didn't matter to Lin Xi at all. "Since the head of the village said it's my responsibility, of course I'm willing to pay for it."
Zhao Tan looked at Lin Xi deeply before leaving.
After watching Zhao Tan walk away, Wang Jing said to Lin Xi, "This village head speaks in a sarcastic tone. Why did you move to the town?"
Lin Xi had thought, "As long as I am still an exile, I can't move anywhere else."
If she doesn't want to do something else, there's nothing she can do.
Wang Jing's eyes were deep, and while everyone was talking, he whispered, "Maybe."
However, his voice was so low that even Lin Xi couldn't hear what he said clearly.
Zhao Tan had been gone for several days, and during this time, strange noises began to be heard in the village at night.
At first, only a few people who got up at night noticed something was wrong. Considering the strange things that had been happening in the village recently, the news spread quickly during the day.
Lin Xi felt that she could hear new news every day when she came back. When she came here today, she saw a group of people gathered near her silkworm house.
Xiao Yongyan had nothing to do in school today, so he came back with her. Seeing this, he pulled Zhang Chengye aside and asked, "What happened?"
Zhang Chengye frowned, "Someone heard a strange noise last night and said it came from Dongshan."
However, everyone surrounded Dongshan and no one dared to go up.
Xiao Yongyan also heard that the village had been extremely unstable recently, but he never believed in ghosts and gods.
"I'll go." Xiao Yongyan said as he stood in the middle of the crowd, "If anyone wants to go up the mountain, just follow me."
With someone taking the lead, the others immediately plucked up the courage and followed Xiao Yongyan.
As for Wang Jing and Zhang Chengye, they followed as well, while the women stayed obediently at the foot of the mountain.
"I'll go too." Lin Xi followed Xiao Yongyan.
She had taken less than three steps when she was stopped by Xiao Yongyan and Wang Jing.
"It's dangerous in the mountains. You were injured in the mountains last time. Why are you going again this time?" Xiao Yongyan was a little serious, and his eyes were full of disapproval when he looked at Lin Xi.
Lin Xi didn't think it was a big deal. "Since it happened on our territory, I should definitely take a look."
After saying that, Lin Xi walked around Xiao Yongyan and went straight to the front.
Her Shennong system's analysis and detection capabilities are unrivaled in the world. She must find out whether there are unidentified creatures in the mountains or there are other reasons.
Xiao Yongyan had no choice but to follow Lin Xi closely, fearing that something might happen to her.
Only Wang Jing was amazed and said jokingly, "Xiao Yongyan, I didn't expect you to have such a high status in the family."
Xiao Yongyan glanced at Wang Jing unhappily, "If you get married in the future, I want to see how high your status can be."
Wang Jing said disdainfully, "What a joke, I have the final say and I am the boss."
Xiao Yongyan looked at Wang Jing, speechless.
"No, what do you mean?" Wang Jing said angrily.
However, Xiao Yongyan ignored him and escorted Lin Xi all the way inside.
Everything seemed normal on the way into the mountain, but when everyone walked a little deeper, someone in the team suddenly exclaimed, "Look, there are footprints!"
Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and saw a huge footprint on the ground.
"Not only that, look over there," someone said, pointing not far away.
Lin Xi walked forward to take a look. The footprint was about four times the size of a human foot and was shaped exactly like a foot, which made it easy for people to think of a giant.
"Tell me, is this a ghost?"
