Xiaoyao Xiaoyao in the mountains

When Yang Xiaobao walked into the courtyard, he saw a middle-aged woman walking out from the west wing, carrying a kettle in her hand.

Seeing Yang Xiaobao, she said with a smile all over her face: "Please come in quickly, please come in quickly."

Yang Xiaobao smiled and said, "Excuse me."

Then follow the middle-aged woman into the main room.

The old horse and the rabbit demon had already sat down on the dilapidated sofa.

"Mom, let me do it." The girl took the teapot and began to pour tea for the old horse and the rabbit demon.

As soon as Yang Xiaobao entered, he smelled a musty smell.

It smelled like the room hadn't been lived in for a long time.

Moreover, he saw that the furniture inside was very broken, and some of them were covered with a layer of dust.

"Look, we haven't cleaned up yet." The middle-aged woman said shyly.

The village chief waved his hand and said impatiently: "Stop talking, give them a place to live."

"well."

The middle-aged woman said and walked out of the room.

"Don't mind, we only came back yesterday." The girl said with a smile.

"You just came back yesterday?" The rabbit demon asked puzzledly, "You don't live here?"

The girl smiled and said, "Most of the people in our village have moved out. Except for some old people who don't want to move out, there are basically no people left. But there is a rule in our village, that is, one day every year we have to come back to worship our ancestors."

"On the day of ancestor worship, no matter how far you are outside, you have to come back."

Hearing what the girl said, Yang Xiaobao nodded, it turned out to be the case.

"Then when is the ancestor worship?" Yang Xiaobao asked.

"It's the day after tomorrow," said the village chief.

"Ancestor worship must be very lively, right?" the rabbit demon said with a smile.

The girl laughed and said, "Of course it's lively. I've liked this day since I was a child. There is a banquet in the village, and the whole village gathers to eat."

"I think this year is a bit mysterious." The village chief said a little unhappily, "Let's not talk about eating banquets, it's not bad if we can worship ancestors."

Yang Xiaobao seemed to have something on his mind when he saw the village chief.

But if he didn't say anything, Yang Xiaobao couldn't say anything more.

While they were drinking tea and chatting, Yang Xiaobao realized that the people in Beichen Village were all surnamed Xue and belonged to the same family.

The village chief is Xue Deyong, and the girl is Xue Tong.

They live in the county seat, while the girl should go to university in Tiandu.

The village exists in name only, and the village chief also exists in name only.

It's just because he used to be the village head, so Xue Deyong will still let Xue Deyong take the lead if there is anything in the village that needs to be dealt with.

"We also came from Tiandu City." Lao Ma said.

"That's great." Xue Tong said happily.

The village chief Xue Deyong coughed and said to Xue Tong: "Don't stay here, go and see if your mother can help you."

Xue Tong chuckled, stood up and walked outside.

After Xue Tong left, the village chief Xue Deyong asked Yang Xiaobao and Lao Ma, "Are you really here to climb mountains?"

From his tone, it seemed that he was very suspicious of Yang Xiaobao's words.

Yang Xiaobao smiled, nodded and said, "Yes, we are here to climb the mountain."

"Then I advise you to leave here as soon as possible tomorrow."

Seeing that Xue Deyong kept letting them go, Yang Xiaobao asked a little puzzledly: "Mr. Xue, why do you keep driving us away? Do you think we are bad people?"

"It is because you don't look like bad people that I let you go."

"Did something happen?" Yang Xiaobao asked.

"Nothing happened." Cao Deyong said.

Yang Xiaobao and Lao Ma looked at each other, seeing that Cao Deyong didn't want to say something, and it was hard for him to ask.

"Then what, since we are here to climb the mountain, let's go around the back mountain." The rabbit demon said.

"Okay, let's go around." The old horse stood up and said.

When the village chief Cao Deyong saw that they were about to go out, he said, "I advise you to stay in this yard obediently."

"Why?" Yang Xiaobao asked, "Can't we go to the back mountain?"

The village head opened his mouth, and finally said: "All right, you guys are going, and I won't stop you, but you should hurry back before it gets dark."

Yang Xiaobao agreed, walked to the yard with the old horse and the rabbit monster, and walked towards the gate.

He took the opportunity to look around the yard.

Suddenly, he saw a few pieces of yellow paper pasted on some corners of the courtyard wall.

Strange spells were also drawn on these yellow papers.

Seeing this scene, Yang Xiaobao frowned involuntarily.

He didn't say anything, but walked outside the door under Cao Deyong's gaze.

There is a mountain behind the village, just a few steps away.

Yang Xiaobao, Lao Ma and Rabbit Demon walked around the village.

At this time, it was more than four o'clock in the afternoon, and the fog was still very heavy. The village was deserted, and it didn't look like there were people living there.

"Little Treasure, don't you think this village is a bit strange?" Lao Ma asked.

"I feel it." Yang Xiaobao said, "The village chief is also quite strange."

"Yes, and I saw paper symbols pasted in the yard of his house."

The rabbit demon immediately said, "It's an evil spirit talisman."

The old horse asked the rabbit demon in surprise: "You know so well that it's an evil spirit talisman?"

The rabbit demon shrugged and said, "Because I felt very uncomfortable as soon as I entered, as if being pushed out by something."

Speaking of it, he turned and looked at Yang Xiaobao: "Master, don't you think of a way for me?"

Yang Xiaobao said with a smile: "I'll give you a talisman later, put it on your body, and the evil talisman will be broken."

The rabbit demon was relieved.

"Little Treasure, why do you think Cao Deyong posted evil spirit talismans in his home?"

"There must be something unclean in the village." Yang Xiaobao said, "Although this talisman is useful, it's not very useful because the drawing is not right."

"Is there anything unclean in the village? Don't you mean that there are ghosts in this village?"

Yang Xiaobao sighed, and told the two of them about the black cat that had been shrouded in Yin Qi just now.

"If the guess is correct, that black cat is infected with evil spirit."

Cats belong to Yin and are prone to evil spirits, especially black cats.

The old horse nodded, sighed, and said, "This village is really strange!"

As he spoke, he turned to look at the village already under his feet.

Yang Xiaobao also turned to look at the village.

His heart shivered, and he shivered slightly.

He felt that the village shrouded in mist was like a huge beast, waiting for its prey to enter its mouth.

"Xiaobao, tell me, where is the south gate of the gate of hell?" the old horse asked.

Yang Xiaobao looked at the village, shook his head, and said, "I don't know, I have to ask Shi Ran."

"By the way, do you think Shi Ran has been to this village? The village is not big, we should be able to run into each other, but why haven't we seen any trace of him?"

Yang Xiaobao frowned and said, "Lao Ma, have you noticed that there are no other cars in this village except ours?"

"Yes." Ma said immediately, "If you say that, I also discovered this problem."
