Chapter 560
The forest west of Lijia Village has always been quiet.
On the one hand, it is because there is almost nothing in the forest. On weekdays, people are arranged to be on duty, so that ordinary villagers will not be allowed to see things they should not see; on the other hand, it is because the smell of rottenness in the forest is too strong, and no one will run into the forest for no reason to suffer, right?
Therefore, Yanshi and the others were struggling in the forest, as long as there was no big noise, they almost didn't have to worry about someone coming and discovering it.
And the people in Lijia Village will not focus on the forest west.
However, just after the sky was bright, a cracking sound suddenly came from the forest to the west, which instantly made the entire Lijia Village focus here.
"Where did this sound come from?" In the Li Family Ancestral Hall, the head of the Li Family, who was shocked, asked at the people guarding outside the ancestral hall with some concern. After looking at them, they shook their heads blankly, they thought for a while and said, "What are you still standing there? Hurry up and have someone go and have a look! If you see the village official, ask him to find out the situation for me, come and report it."
"Yes!" One person responded immediately and ran away quickly.
But the head of the Li family walked back and forth a few times, frowned and asked at the remaining people: "You all heard the sound just now, right? Do you think, where did this sound come from?"
"It sounds like it's west!"
"Yes, yes, yes! It feels like it's still in the mountains!"
"In the mountains to the west?" The head of the Li family suddenly had a very bad premonition. He raised his eyes and looked in the west, and immediately said to the people: "Leave two people behind to watch, and the rest of them all come to see me!"
"Yes, the patriarch!" Several villages could not help but feel a little worried when they looked at the clan leader of the Li family. Could it be that something happened in the village? Listening to the sound, they didn't know what happened, but don't let anyone suffer casualties!
After leaving the ancestral hall, the head of the Li family looked at many villagers heading west and asked a few casually. They all said that when they heard the sound, they came from the west, and they didn't know if somewhere in the mountains collapsed, so such a big noise occurred.
However, the patriarch of the Li family became more and more worried. Can he not know what is in the west?
What if the villagers discovered something west?
What's more, if something happens in the west and delays the sacrifices in their village, it will be a big deal! I don't know what's wrong with the west and why an accident suddenly happened.
When the head of the Li family walked to the end of the village, they isolated the disease from the place in the village, they saw countless villagers watching the fun.
"What are you doing here? Go back quickly! Go back!" The head of the Li family wanted to drive away all the irrelevant people, and immediately urged the villagers as soon as they arrived.
"Class leader, there is a big stir in the forest on the west side, and I don't know what's going on!"
"Yes, yes! It's such a loud noise!"
"Is it a mountain collapsed??"
Countless villagers looked at the clan leader of the Li family with nervous and excited expressions, and asked him.
"After you find out these things, you will naturally tell you! What are you doing here now? Are you not afraid of getting infected with the epidemic? Go back quickly, go back!" The head of the Li family shouted to everyone, looking at the villagers who were not very happy, and immediately ordered the people who followed him: "Go and call people and let them all go back, don't watch the fun here! Let's go to the village chief and ask him to come over quickly!"
"yes!"
The few people nodded immediately and scattered their busy schedules, but they made the Li family leader stand alone, looking at the west direction and frown.
Li Cunzheng arrived soon, and I don’t know if it was attracted by the sound or someone sent by the head of the Li family.
"Class leader!"
When the head of the Li family heard the voice, he turned around and saw Li Cunzheng's worried face. He couldn't help but frown: "Have you heard the movement?"
Li Cunzheng nodded silently and quickly said to the head of the Li family: "When I heard the noise, I immediately arranged for someone to check it out. The people are not back yet, and I don't know what the situation is like!"
"Have you arranged for someone to see it? Then why aren't you waiting here?" The clan leader of the Li family asked in disbelief.
"The people at the entrance of the village also heard the movement, and they seemed to be a little curious. I thought that if they were asked to come in and they said they would go to the west to see the situation, wouldn't it be a problem? So after I arranged the people, I went to the entrance of the village to guard them and told them that there was nothing wrong, but there was a stone falling from the mountain outside the village. This was the case in normal times, so that they didn't have to worry about it, so I came here quickly!" Li Cun was half-hugging his head and quickly explained to the head of the Li family.
"Well, you did it right!" After hearing this, the head of the Li family looked at Li Cunzheng with great appreciation, and then said again: "Since you have arranged for someone to check, I'll wait for news here! But I have to drive all the villagers here to watch the fun and get together here, what's the point!"
"Yes, patriarch! I'll let them all go back now!" Li Cunzheng breathed a sigh of relief, responded quickly and took the people to urge the villagers who were watching the fun to leave.
After everyone was cleared away, Li Cunzheng honestly returned to the Li family leader. After watching the clan elders who had heard the news, he knew that this matter would not be as simple as he imagined.
Sure enough, when the old clan saw that there was no one around, he immediately spoke worriedly: "There is no such thing as the forest, right? You guys say, what happened there, and it would cause such a big noise?"
"Who knows this? You have to wait for the people who are checking to come back to know it! We only pray now, don't destroy our sacrifice!"
"Wait for another half an hour, if the person who went to check has not come back, send another group of people in!" The head of the Li family was also worried about this, and thought about it, and said to everyone: "You can send more people in, but things must be checked clearly! Everyone knows what is in that forest, and no accident can happen!"
"Yes!" The clan elders nodded seriously, and they all looked in the direction of the west forest.
