Chapter 700 Refusal to Leave the Village

Jiang Xuxu and his party were taken to the home of the witch.

In some villages in southern China, there are often people like the witch. For matters in the village, from big things like asking for good luck during sacrifices to small things like what name to give to a newborn child and which direction the stove should face, the villagers will ask each other first.

In the beginning, Baoshan's identity as a "village keeper" was to "popularize science" for the villagers.

Now a group of people suddenly came, obviously from a big city, and they said they were looking for Baoshan, so of course everyone had to ask the witch.

The witch was also called Hua Po by the villagers. She was about 70 years old, with a hunched body and a mysterious look. She glanced at Jiang Xuxu and his group and asked,

"What are you looking for Baoshan for?"

Lu Nanxing knew that the villagers believed in this witch, so as a diplomat, she immediately stepped forward,

"Grandma, we want to ask him to lead the way for us. We are looking for someone."

She had a baby face and spoke with a natural sense of intimacy. But

Hua Po didn't look at her. She was self-centered and spoke with a profound attitude,

"Looking for someone, looking for someone, go to the director of the village office. If you have something to do, go to the government. Little girl, don't be superstitious."

Lu Nanxing: ...

She glanced at the Bagua mirror and the house-protecting amulet hanging outside the door of Hua Po's house, and thought to herself that you look more superstitious than me.

They don't do this in their tribe.

But she still had a smile on her face and said,

"The village director can't find anyone. The person who sent us here said that we can only look for the village guard."

When Hua Po heard this, a gloomy look appeared on her wrinkled face. She muttered something, and then her expression froze,

"If the person you are looking for is not a villager, Baoshan can't help you. The village guard cannot leave the village. This is the rule."

Before Lu Nanxing wanted to say something else, Hua Po had already chased them away. When the villagers saw that Hua Po did not respond, they naturally made a gesture to let them leave.

Fortunately, the director of the village office heard the news and rushed over with people in time. He first scolded the villagers,

"What's the matter with you? Didn't they just find someone for the village? Guests from afar are welcome. Even if you don't agree with the talk, you should be polite and show the warm spirit of our Huabei Village..."

The director of the village office kept talking and the villagers were so annoyed by his nagging that they left one after another. But before leaving, he warned them not to target the village guards.

The director of the village office welcomed several people to the village office and apologized at first,

"The young people in the village have gone to work in big cities, and the villagers who are left behind are more old-fashioned. But it's not that they don't welcome outsiders, it's just that Baoshan is a little different in this village."

Baoshan was picked up from the mountains by the villagers. When he was found, he was a fool. Because he was young, the villagers sent him to the welfare home in the town.

As a result, I don't know how he ran back.

After going back and forth several times, he stayed in the village inexplicably.

At first, the villagers despised the child, and only one or two households in the village occasionally gave him some food, which could only be said to be the level of not starving to death.

What made the villagers change their view of him was that one night, Baoshan suddenly shouted and ran around the village, waking up most of the villagers.

Many villagers were angry and went out to arrest him. At that time, an earthquake suddenly occurred in the village.

The director of the village office said,

"Huabei Village has not experienced an earthquake in decades, but that earthquake came suddenly, and many houses in the village collapsed.

If Baoshan had not woken up most people by shouting in the village, the villagers would still be asleep when the earthquake came, and they would not have been able to run away in time."

It was when that incident happened that the village witch said that Baoshan was the village guardian, and that with him in the village, the village could avoid disasters and bring good luck.

In addition, after the earthquake, almost everyone in the village believed in the village keeper. In recent years, every family would send him a portion of delicious food.

Because the man was brought back from the mountain, he was simply renamed Baoshan.

Later, when other villages heard about the village keeper in Huabei Village, they treated the crazy people in their own villages much better. After learning about the

origin of Baoshan from the village director, Jiang Xuxu and his group also understood the importance the villagers attached to Baoshan.

But it was impossible to leave like this.

So, under the excuse of looking for someone in the village, several people borrowed a house from a family in the village and lived there under the coordination of the village director.

After sending the director of the village office away, several people looked at each other. Lu Nanxing looked at Jiang Xuxu first.

"Xuxu, what do you think?"

Jiang Xuxu said, "He can see Hu Lizhi's true form at a glance, and can sense earthquakes in advance. The village guard should be a real village guard."

Hu Lizhi was curious,

"The village guard is real, is there anything fake in the village?"

Lu Nanxing immediately said, "I know, that flower lady is fake!"

Although the old man was talking nonsense, she couldn't feel any spiritual power from him.

So it is likely that he is a liar.

Hu Lizhi was enlightened when she heard this,

"It turns out to be a liar. I thought her spiritual power was too strong, so I couldn't feel it."

After all, she is a half-demon with weak demon power. Normally, she can't feel any demon hiding its demon power.

Hu Lizhi is quite used to this kind of thing.

Jiang Xuxu only said,

"Some witches in the village do have real skills, but some of them are just a means to make a living. As long as they don't take the opportunity to save money or use the magic water to harm people's lives, the Security Bureau will not interfere." After all

, the existence of these people often represents the faith of some people.

What's more, she didn't see any karma from the other party.

As for saying that Baoshan is a village guard, maybe it was a mistake, or maybe it was to establish a reputation for herself.

But she did indirectly change the villagers' view of Baoshan, allowing him, a fool, to receive a lot of care in the village. From the perspective of cause and effect, this is good.

Jiang Xuxu never thought that good and evil are judged by identity or a single standard.

As they were talking, Yu Ling's spirit floated in from outside.

Her body was damaged, and she could not rely on her body to transform for the time being. She could only float with her spirit body. Just when Jiang Xuxu and his group went to Hua Po, Yu Ling went around the village directly.

"I can't feel the breath of that person in the village. The person should not be in the village. We still have to find the village guard to lead the way."

"But the village guard can't leave the village."

Hu Lizhi looked at Jiang Xuxu hesitantly, "What if people die outside the village?"

The system turtle listened for a long time, and this time it couldn't help but squeeze out another head, and yelled dissatisfiedly,

[How can it be so easy to die? How can you handle big things if you are always looking back and forth? ]

Jiang Xuxu's response was to press it back again.

He added,

"Since that person said he could lead the way, there must be some secret. I think we should go ask him later. If he can point us in a direction, we don't necessarily have to ask him to leave the village."

"No need to wait until later."

Yu Ling said, and suddenly pointed outside,

"The village guard seemed to have come back with me just now. He is outside."

Upon hearing this, several people turned their heads and saw a big guy standing at the door outside the yard. He poked his head out, looked at Yu Ling eagerly, and laughed,

"Yu Yu... Yu Yu..."
