Chapter 63 Shanyin Village
◎That mountain god is quite generous◎
After an awkward silence, Lu Yan was the first to speak. He said, "Our colleague was a bit blunt, but what she said was true. I hope you don't mind, Village Chief."
Wei Chuan also quickly said, "Yes, yes, that's exactly what happened. Village Chief, you are in charge of the entire village, so you should be more familiar with the situation there, right?"
Everyone looked at the village chief.
Indeed, asking the village chief was the most direct and fastest way. The psychic, who had been a little surprised by Gu Nian's sudden question, gradually understood.
After realizing that Gu Nian was telling the truth, the village chief's embarrassment faded. After thinking for a moment, he said, "I'm really not sure at the moment. But there are indeed a few families in the village who are having a hard time and often need help from the village. Could it be them?"
The village chief sighed, "It's all because I'm incompetent as the village chief."
Wei Chuan had a favorable impression of the village chief, the only one who had greeted them with a smile. He offered some words of comfort, "Even though you're the village chief, you can't control everyone. If you want to blame someone, blame only those who caused others' misfortune. Once we find the core of the pollution, we'll definitely make sure those people pay."
As psychics, they actually have somewhat complicated feelings towards the Contaminated Core. On the one hand, the pollution outbreak can cause tragedy, but on the other hand, many of the Contaminated Core themselves are also victims. They can only do their best to make those who caused the tragedy pay the price.
Wei Chuan said this with gritted teeth.
Gu Nian also agreed: "Yes, they will definitely pay the price." She said indignantly: "The mountain god will definitely not protect such a bad person!"
The two people have a sense of mutual understanding.
village head:"......"
He showed a grateful expression. "I'll compile a list when I get back later and notify the villagers to cooperate with your work. We must find the core of the pollution as soon as possible."
Now that everything was open and honest, Gu Nian directly asked the question that most concerned all the psychics at the moment: "Village Chief, what exactly happened with the wedding last night?"
After a moment of silence, the village chief finally spoke: "This isn't really a secret. As you can see, our village believes in the mountain god. This has been passed down from our ancestors."
From the village chief's narration, Gu Nian and his companions learned of a legend circulating in the village. It was said that Shanyin Village once faced a great crisis, but it was only thanks to the protection of the mountain god that the village was saved. The villagers vowed to protect the village and worship the mountain god for generations to come.
The mountain god accepts offerings and grants blessings at the same time.
Whenever the village encounters a major problem that is difficult to solve, it needs to communicate with the mountain god. The bridge of communication is the bride who marries the mountain god.
Gu Nian was thoughtful, "So that paper bride is actually an offering?"
The village chief was silent.
Although this may sound harsh, it undoubtedly points to the essence of the matter.
Gu Nian asked again, "Wouldn't the Mountain God think you were being perfunctory with the paper bride you used?" Her imagination blossomed, "Do you think the Mountain God was angry yesterday because it was made of paper?"
The village chief's face was a little stiff, and he hesitated and said, "I don't think so."
Gu Nian said, "The mountain god is quite generous." He was bribed with a paper bride.
The village chief looked gloomy and did not respond.
Soon, they arrived at Tian Sheng's home.
Although there were few people on the road before, I would occasionally meet a few. But now, all the houses on the entire road where the Tian family was located had closed their doors.
The door of the Tian family was also closed, so the village chief went forward and knocked on the door.
Soon the small window on the gate opened, and a face appeared. It was the person I met at the village entrance before, who should have stayed to take care of the Tian family. Seeing that it was the village chief, he quickly opened the door.
The village chief took Gu Nian and the others in and asked about the situation of the Tian family.
The man replied, "Tian Sheng's wife isn't making any noise now, but she's just sitting there, not eating, drinking, or talking. She even ignores her daughter and son when they call her."
He looked a little embarrassed: "Uncle, I have a lot of things to do at home, and I can't stay here all the time. Please find someone to replace me." He whispered: "I'm scared too. You said that the Tian family has people, so it's not my turn to take care of them."
The village chief glared at him and said, "Don't you know that Tian Sheng has a bad relationship with his brothers?"
The man shrank his neck and said, "I don't care. I have to go anyway."
The village chief snorted, "Let's talk about it later."
When they arrived at the house, they saw Tian Sheng's wife sitting on a chair, staring out the window, not knowing what she was looking at. The village chief asked several questions but she didn't respond.
Just as everyone was about to leave, a voice suddenly came from behind. Tian Sheng's wife stood up suddenly and pointed out the window, "Look, there's someone in that tree!"
A psychic standing by the door rushed out immediately, but came back soon.
He wondered, "There's no one in the tree outside."
Gu Nian walked to the window and looked out. The tree was empty, indeed no one was there. In the yard, only the eldest daughter of the Tian family was watching her youngest son playing in the mud. There was no one else.
Tian Sheng's wife was still pointing out the window: "Look, look quickly, there's someone in that tree." She suddenly shouted, "It must be Tian Sheng who's back!"
After saying that, he ran out.
Everyone was caught off guard, and when they followed him out, the man had already run out of the yard.
A person with special abilities immediately followed him out and brought him back in the blink of an eye. However, the person kept struggling, sometimes saying he saw Tian Sheng, and sometimes saying there was someone in the tree.
In the end, there was no other choice but to knock the man unconscious.
The person who opened the door before muttered, "Crazy, really crazy." After that, he no longer cared about the village chief's orders and ran away, not willing to stay for a moment longer.
No one wanted to stay here, and the Tian family had two children who needed to be taken care of, and Tian Sheng's wife also needed someone to look after her, so they finally decided to let the person with special abilities live here.
After discussion, Scar, Gu Nian, and Wei Chuan stayed.
There were three in the village chief's family, three in the Tian family, and three more people with special abilities had no place to live. Just when they were about to say that it didn't work and they had to squeeze in with the village chief's and Tian families, someone suddenly came to the door.
The person who came was Feng Bo.
Feng Bo's house was right next door. He heard the noise from the Tian family and came to check. Seeing Tian Sheng's wife fainted on a chair nearby, he didn't say anything. Instead, he said, "I just heard you talking. I have an empty room in my house. As for you guys crowding in, it's none of my business."
Still with that disgusted tone.
It was good enough to have a place to stay, and the remaining three psychics agreed immediately.
Both sides had no objection, so the matter was settled.
The village chief said, "Then I'll go back and investigate in detail and make a list." He told Uncle Feng what he had heard from the psychic and said, "No one dares to come out. Old Feng, come and help."
Uncle Feng nodded.
When seeing the two off, Gu Nian passed by the youngest son of the Tian family who was playing in the mud with his head down. With a "pop", a ball of mud landed on her clothes.
The child raised his head timidly, as if realizing that he had done something wrong.
The eldest daughter of the Tian family protected her brother behind her and said in a low voice: "I'm sorry."
Gu Nian glanced at the siblings and said, "It's okay."
When she reached the door, she seemed to suddenly remember something and asked, "By the way, Village Chief, we were told before we came in that there were two police officers and a suspect here. Are they still in the village?"
The village chief was stunned for a moment, then said, "A few police officers did come over a few days ago, but they left on the day of the pollution outbreak. Didn't they leave?"
Gu Nian shook his head, "Maybe it's trapped in the fog."
After sending the people away, the people with special abilities gathered in the courtyard of the Tian family.
Gu Nian walked to the youngest son of the Tian family, bent down slightly, and smiled gently, "Little boy, can you show me the button in your hand? I'll give it to you."
She took out a candy from her pocket and handed it over.
The child first glanced at his sister, and when he saw no rejection, he handed the black button covered in mud in his hand to Gu Nian.
Gu Nian used a tissue to wipe the dirt off the buttons. A layer of light gold powder on the black buttons reflected light in the sunlight.
She had seen it before, on the body of the police officer who came to report the news.
