Chapter 450 Don’t go out in the middle of the night
This is a remote village.
Because he lives in seclusion in the mountains, he doesn't even have a name.
Many villagers also wear very ordinary clothes, coarse linen and linen.
It's not poverty, but it's definitely not related to wealth.
After all, every household in this village has its own one-third of an acre of land.
Having enough food and clothing is no problem.
When Zheng and Zhi entered the village, many villagers looked at them strangely.
Obviously, this village has not been visited by people from other places for a long time...
And just as the two were about to enjoy the scenery of the mountain village, a loud sound of gongs and drums rang in their ears.
Looking up, I saw a group of figures wearing sackcloth and mourning, carrying a coffin, walking towards me.
The sounds of mourning and joy were mixed with the cries of relatives, intertwined together, and seemed particularly desolate.
Paper money flew everywhere and covered the whole street.
This is a funeral procession.
However, it seems a bit strange to have a funeral at noon.
Many villagers gathered on both sides of the street.
They watched the whole process, with a touch of fear in their eyes.
"Brother Zheng Zhi, this village is so weird!"
Looking at the strange scene in front of her, Xia Qiuchan was a little scared.
Nervously, she reached out to hold Zheng Zhi's arm, and pressed her breasts against it.
"Isn't it just the burial of ordinary people? There is nothing to be afraid of."
Zheng Zhi smiled.
Looking at the girl approaching, Zheng Zhi felt something in his heart.
Of course, although his heart was itching like a cat's paw, Zheng Zhi still had to pretend to be a gentleman after all.
No, he is a gentleman to begin with!
However, Zheng Zhi looked at the coffin and frowned slightly.
With his eyesight, he can naturally see some differences.
There is a faint yin energy surrounding the coffin.
But Zheng Zhi ignored these, and the two of them moved aside to make way for the funeral procession.
Soon, the funeral procession became farther and farther away, and the sound of mourning and joy also faded away.
The direction they were traveling in was exactly the Fusheng Mountain...
"Young people, are you from other places?"
Just when Zheng Zhi was about to turn around and leave, a voice suddenly sounded in his ear.
I turned my head and saw a skinny old man.
"I'm passing through here, what can I do for you, old man?"
Zheng Zhi asked.
The old man looked Zheng Zhi up and down, and suddenly his expression became serious: "Don't go out in the middle of the night. No matter what noise you hear at night, just ignore it."
"movement?
Is it possible that something evil is causing trouble at night?"
Xia Qiuchan on the side asked in surprise.
After all, she is a girl, so she is quite afraid of these evil and ghostly things.
Don't blame her for being timid, it's a girl's nature.
"This village used to have more than 2,000 households, but in recent years Fusheng Mountain has been haunted in the middle of the night. The ghosts often eat people at night, so many households have moved away."
The skinny old man sighed: "Little girl, curiosity killed the cat, don't let curiosity kill you."
After saying that, the old man turned and left.
Zheng Zhi was left silent, and Xia Qiuchan was confused.
He only briefly mentioned a few words, but as for the specifics, the old man did not reveal a word.
It seems that there is quite a taboo about this ghost thing.
However, Zheng Zhi didn't pay much attention.
Leisurely I found a roadside teahouse and drank tea.
"Brother Zheng Zhi, you don't seem to be afraid of that ghost at all?"
At this time, the girl couldn't help but ask.
"They are just some lonely ghosts making trouble. What kind of trouble can they make?"
Zheng Zhi smiled disdainfully and sneered.
With this look, he obviously didn't take these so-called ghosts seriously.
It’s not like Zheng Zhi has never seen the world before.
He has also seen some ancient soul bodies.
If his prediction was correct, these so-called ghosts were similar to this.
Not long after, night fell.
"The sky is dry and things are dry, be careful about the fire!"
A villager holding a gong and drum shouted loudly.
Hearing this sound, many villagers who were still wandering on the street dispersed.
They looked panicked and walked in a hurry.
The shops along the street also closed their stalls one by one.
The teahouse where Zheng Zhi was staying was empty. A waiter came up to him and said, "Brother, we are closing the stall. You should find a place to rest early."
As he spoke, he quickly started clearing the table and then ran away without a trace.
As for the teahouse owner, I don't know where he has gone to hide.
The night is dark and starry!
Because of the remote location, there are no lights on the streets.
The whole street looked pitch black.
Only through the faint moonlight can we see some street scenes clearly.
A gust of cool wind blew, making people shiver.
Because it is in the wilderness and it is too quiet, you can sometimes hear the roars of wild beasts in the mountains from a distance.
"Brother Zheng Zhi, how about we find a place to stay overnight?"
Xia Qiuchan was a little scared and said.
"Not urgent."
Zheng Zhi smiled slightly: "The night is so beautiful, wouldn't it be a pity to miss it?"
Xia Qiuchan: "..."
At this moment, footsteps suddenly came from the end of the street.
Two figures then appeared, holding lanterns in their hands.
Xia Qiuchan's expression tightened and she firmly grabbed Zheng Zhi's arm.
"Don't be nervous, we are human."
Zheng Zhi's soul power is different from ordinary people, and it can be seen at a glance.
At the end of the street, there is a man and a woman.
The two of them are young, the boy is estimated to be only about eighteen years old.
With dark skin and thin body, he looks like a bamboo pole from a distance.
Holding a lantern in his hand, under the dim light, he could see a face that was a little pale due to long-term malnutrition.
The girl is younger, only fourteen years old, with a sallow complexion and thin skin, and has twin tails.
She followed the young man cautiously, with a hint of fear on her face.
She looked around, looking nervous, like a frightened rabbit.
Obviously, they are a brother and sister!
When the brother and sister saw Zheng Zhi and Xia Qiuchan outside the teahouse, their expressions changed drastically.
He took several steps back in shock, with a look of horror on his face.
"Are you... humans or ghosts?"
When he saw a strange man or woman, the young man protected the girl next to him behind his back.
He held a short knife in his hand. His hand trembled slightly when he held it, and his body trembled with it, but he still blocked it in front of the girl.
"Well……"
Zheng Zhi was stunned for a moment, then smiled faintly and pointed at himself: "Have you ever seen such a handsome ghost?"
