Chapter 5512 The villagers who drowned in the Red Lake
When everyone was finishing lunch, a young and muscular guy who looked to be in his early twenties ran over.
The young man is somewhat similar to Niu Kang, and his name is the same as his body shape, so he is called Niu Zhuang.
Bringing the so-called equipment, the group soon left the village and entered the mountains along the edge of the Red Lake. This place is surrounded by mountains on three sides. Among them, the slope where the stream flows into the Red Lake is the shallowest, and on both sides there are cliffs exceeding 60 degrees.
Difficult to climb.
The group of people went all the way up the mountain, pretending to collect some stones on the way to see their so-called ingredients.
Lin Haoming discovered that this place is really a cinnabar mine, which can also be regarded as a mercury mine. From an industrial point of view, it is really valuable.
Exploring minerals is naturally not the most important thing, it is more important to determine the situation here.
Lin Haoming and others quickly reached a nearby high point, where they could overlook the entire village.
When everyone stood at a high point and had a panoramic view of the village, regardless of others, Lin Haoming couldn't help but narrowed his eyes.
Although his abilities are limited, if there are so-called ghosts in this world, the layout of the village in front of him is obviously built according to a certain prohibition and suppression array. In this way, something may be suppressed here. Thinking of that
In the scarecrow at night, Lin Haoming began to wonder if the so-called Red Witch was the target of suppression here, and it seemed that it would be really difficult to find her.
Next, everyone began to look around in the name of exploration. There was no one living on the mountain. There was only a quarry in the village. In addition, there was a cemetery. Most of the people in the village were buried here. Look at the size of the cemetery.
Going halfway up the mountain shows that this village has indeed existed for a long time.
Niu Zhuang is a honest and honest young man. When a group of people inspected the cemetery, they were very worried, fearing that this was a mine and there would be trouble. However, as a young man, he also had his own ideas and envied the life in the city.
It can be seen that many young people like him in the village have this idea. This is the change of the world.
In addition to these, the honest Niu Zhuang is a good target for spying on information. Niu Hong once again used her natural affinity and went into the mountains for a long time and got a lot of information from Niu Zhuang.
The most important one is related to Langtu. This lonely priest originally had a wife and daughter, and his wife and daughter also died in the Red Lake. When he died, his wife was just over thirty.
, my daughter is only fourteen or fifteen years old.
Children in the village can get married after they are sixteen years old. This age seems to be about the same, and Lang Tu was only thirty years old at that time, and he was also the successor to the priest after the death of his wife and daughter, and the priests are usually those who have no one in the family.
Relatives will be responsible.
Niu Hong asked Niu Zhuang who would take over as the priest in this case, and Niu Zhuang said the name Zhutai without even thinking about it.
I learned from Niu Zhuang that Zhutai originally had a wife and daughter, but his wife died early due to dystocia. When his daughter was raised to the age of sixteen or seventeen, she originally planned to marry the second son of the village chief, but she ended up getting married.
He drowned in the Red Lake not long ago.
This series of events made everyone feel that they must be related. From Lang Tu's wife and daughter, to Zhu Tai's daughter, and now Lang Tu himself is dead. However, these news cannot be completely connected to draw a conclusion.
It can only be used as a clue, and I will inquire about it later.
Because nothing of value was found in the mountains, the group had no choice but to go back.
When I came back, it was almost evening. When I returned to my residence, I saw the village chief's granddaughter cleaning the table and bringing out the prepared dishes.
The granddaughter of the village eldest daughter is only about fourteen or fifteen years old. She is a little shy, but she is quite beautiful. Her big eyes turn into crescents when she is shy.
Perhaps he had heard Niu Zhuang talk about it before, so he would be more attentive to daughters of this age, and Lin Haoming thought about the scarecrow that night. The scarecrow looked very much like a teenage girl, especially in red.
"Experts, my boy was fine during the day, didn't he cause any trouble to you?" Because the village chief Niu had to deal with Lang Tu's death, Niu Kang came over on behalf of the village chief at this time.
"Dazhuang is a good young man." Niu Hong smiled and patted Niu Zhuang's shoulder, which made Niu Zhuang blush a little.
"This guy is just a little too honest." Niu Kang said with a smile.
"It's better to be honest, and you don't want to be flashy in a man." Niu Hong continued to speak for Niu Zhuang.
"He is stupid. He is already in his early twenties, and there is no girl to marry him." Niu Kang seemed to be somewhat helpless because his son did not have a wife.
"It's only twenty-one. It's not too early. There are still many men in the city who don't get married until they are around twenty-five, and girls don't get married until they are twenty-one. They are still young, and we have basically entered the mountains today.
It is confirmed that there are indeed mines in the mountains. The next step is to check the quality and distribution of the minerals. When the mines can really be opened, Da Zhuang will be rich. By then, girls who have studied in the city will have to be less.
I want to marry him." Niu Hong said with a smile.
"Captain Niu, I really believe what you say." Niu Kang was overjoyed when he heard this. He didn't know whether it was because of his son or if he really had a mine.
Niu Hong also deliberately asked Niu Zhuang to stay for dinner together. Niu Zhuang was somewhat embarrassed, but Lin Haoming and others noticed that after going up the mountain with Niu Zhuang and Niu Hong, Niu Zhuang seemed to be somewhat different from Niu Hong.
Looking at Niu Hong, a beautiful woman in her thirties, dignified, elegant and enthusiastic, she is indeed very lethal to such a young man in his early twenties. In order to be able to trick things out, he naturally hopes that they will have a good relationship.
.
After dinner, before it got dark, Niu Kang also left. Before leaving, Niu Kang also warned everyone again not to go out after dark, especially since Lang Tu died suddenly. If the conservative villagers are offended at this time, something will happen.
.
Naturally, not many people would believe what Niu Kang said. The few people who went to Huacang heard his conversation with the village chief last night and knew why they were invited here.
Just like yesterday, the group went directly upstairs and surrounded Malan.
Malan also said: "Tonight, Niu Hong, you stay and look after the old woman. Huacang and you three still go to the village chief. Hushan Huliang and I go to Langtu's house."
"Elder, there might be danger over there at Langtu... there," Hu Liang said hesitantly.
"Danger? There is no danger anywhere. The more you are afraid of the danger of such a high-level task, the harder it will be to complete it," Malan warned.
"Yes." Hu Liang agreed directly.
Seeing that he agreed, Malan then looked at everyone and said, "Okay, if you find anything, you can tell me."
No one spoke, so Ma Lan said directly: "Then let's arrange it this way first, and we will take action later depending on the situation."
