"Xiao Li, you guys stay in the village, I'll go with them!"
Chen Xiaobao suddenly said.
"Brother Xiaobao, will there be any trouble?"
Bai Xiaoli said worriedly.
"It's okay, just stay in the village and don't wander around!"
Chen Xiaobao comforted Bai Xiaoli and followed a few young people from Lijiazhai out of the village.
For some reason, these young people in Lijiazhai don’t seem to want to leave the village.
Chen Xiaobao followed three young men from the village out of the village. The three young men looked nervous and each of them carried a Miao Dao. One of them even carried a homemade gun.
"Brother Yanshan, why do you want us to come out to look for people? There are so many people in the village, why do you call us?" A young man muttered unhappily. While speaking, he was paying attention to his surroundings vigilantly, and one hand never left the Miao Dao on his waist.
"Amu, your father is also in the funeral procession. There must be someone who wants to go. Why not us?" Yanshan held the gun on his back with one hand and the Miao Dao with the other hand. He looked at the fog in the forest and was also very nervous.
Chen Xiaobao followed behind the three people and looked at them strangely.
The three young men from Lijiazhai didn't seem willing to talk to Chen Xiaobao. They led the way in front without looking back at Chen Xiaobao.
Chen Xiaobao was puzzled. It was broad daylight and they were near the village. What were these young people afraid of?
Moreover, the funeral processions had hundreds of people in total. How could two funeral processions disappear outside and not return for so long?
This village is getting weirder and weirder.
"Mountain God bless me, I hope nothing happens to my father and the others!"
The complaining young man, Amu, didn't know how to argue, and he muttered a prayer to the mountain god.
"Shut up and don't mention it!"
Yanshan suddenly became angry and glared at Chen Xiaobao fiercely.
"Got it, Brother Yanshan!"
Amu was startled and nodded quickly.
"Why are you so afraid of that mountain god? What exactly is a mountain god?"
Chen Xiaobao suddenly asked.
"Stranger, you'd better not be so curious and don't talk nonsense. What happens in our village has nothing to do with you. Once the contract is signed, you should leave quickly!"
Yanshan looked at Chen Xiaobao strangely, and then added, "Don't ever come here again!"
After saying this, the young men from the three villages stopped talking to Chen Xiaobao.
Chen Xiaobao frowned tightly. These three young men must know a lot, but they obviously don't want to tell Chen Xiaobao.
Next, no matter what Chen Xiaobao said, the three of them did not respond and continued to walk towards the cemetery in the village with their heads down.
Before I knew it, the fog around me began to grow thicker.
"Don't leave!"
After walking for a while, Chen Xiaobao suddenly spoke, scaring the three nervous young men so much that they trembled all over, and two of them even drew their Miao Daos.
They looked left and right cautiously, and only breathed a sigh of relief when they were sure that everything was fine.
"What are you yelling about?"
Amu said with a grim expression.
"We've been going in circles, haven't you noticed?"
Chen Xiaobao said coldly.
circle?
The faces of Yanshan and the other two changed, and he directly took off the gun on his back and held it in his hand.
It was as if something dangerous might rush out from this thick fog at any time.
"Brother Yanshan, we have been walking for twenty minutes. If we had walked normally, we should have seen the cemetery a long time ago!" another young man said tremblingly.
"Okay, it seems to be true. We've been walking for a long time!"
When Amu reacted, his face turned pale and he immediately felt white sweat break out on his back.
"Why, why is this happening?"
Yanshan was also panicked. He felt his palms sweating and held the shotgun tightly in his hands.
"It's the mountain god. He's angry and doesn't want us to go back to the village!"
Amu said in panic.
"Don't talk nonsense!"
Yanshan shouted sharply, but even his own voice was shaking.
"Please spare my life, Grandpa Mountain God! Please spare my life, Grandpa Mountain God!"
"Grandpa Mountain God, please spare us!"
"Please spare us!"
The other young man was so frightened that he grabbed his Miao Dao, fell to his knees with a plop, and kowtowed desperately to the thick fog around him.
"Stop kowtowing. I can take you away, but you have to tell me what the mountain god is and the secrets of the village!" Chen Xiaobao said in a deep voice.
"Stranger, don't brag, or you'll anger the mountain god and no one will be able to save you!"
Yanshan gritted his teeth and glared at Chen Xiaobao, as if he thought it was Chen Xiaobao's fault that they couldn't get out now.
"You being trapped now has nothing to do with me. If I'm not mistaken, the funeral procession must also be trapped. If you tell me the truth, I will not only save you, but also take you to save the funeral procession. Among the funeral procession, there are your relatives, right?"
Chen Xiaobao said lightly.
The three young men's faces changed and they looked at each other hesitantly.
"If you can save us, we will tell you the truth!"
Yanshan hesitated for a moment. Although he was afraid and didn't want to tell outsiders about the mountain god, they really didn't want to disappear forever in the thick fog.
"Yes, you have to prove that you can save us first!"
Amu also said suddenly.
"Okay, you guys follow me!"
Chen Xiaobao nodded lightly and led the way.
"Walk!"
The three people from Yanshan were frightened. They looked at each other and hurriedly followed Chen Xiaobao. It felt like they had walked less than a hundred meters forward when Chen Xiaobao suddenly stopped.
"Why don't you leave?"
Yanshan suddenly asked, nervously gripping the gun in his hand.
“We’re here!”
Chen Xiaobao said lightly.
"The cemetery, we've really arrived at the cemetery!"
Amu looked ahead and immediately became excited.
What appeared before their eyes was indeed the cemetery of Lijiazhai, with the tombs looming in the thick fog.
“It’s really a cemetery!”
Yanshan and another young man were also excited and rushed forward. Sure enough, they saw tombs in front of them, and there were even two new graves.
The new grave has been backfilled and the coffin should be inside. There are also a lot of paper money scattered next to the grave, but there are no mourners to be seen.
"Dad, Dad, where are you?"
"Dad, Dad, come out quickly, we are going back to the village!"
"Dad, come out quickly!"
The three people from Yanshan shouted hurriedly in the cemetery, but the cemetery was silent. Only the mountain breeze blew occasionally, bringing with it a rustling sound of leaves. It seemed dead silent and eerie.
"Stop shouting, they are not here, and don't run around. Be careful not to run into the thick fog and get lost!" As soon as Chen Xiaobao finished speaking, the three people from Yanshan felt a chill in their hearts. They looked around in horror and found that they were about to run into the thick fog. They hurried back and ran to Chen Xiaobao.
"Tell me, what exactly is a mountain god?"
