Ye Qiu burst out laughing when he heard these two words.
In ancient times, many strange phenomena that people could not explain were attributed to hauntings.
But in today's society, science is developing at a rapid pace, and most things can be explained by science. How can there be ghosts?
It seems that this place is too backward and the people are relatively ignorant.
Of course, Ye Qiu couldn't say these words, otherwise Qin's father would be angry.
Ye Qiu followed Qin's father's words and asked, "Uncle, what do you mean by haunted?"
Father Qin said: "I heard from my relative that the so-called infectious disease suddenly appeared a week ago."
"Before the infectious disease appeared, a big event happened in the village."
"It is because of this major incident that Mogan Village is now in a state of restlessness and panic."
Ye Qiu's curiosity was aroused and he asked: "What's the big deal?"
"Do you know why it's called Mogan Village?" Qin's father asked.
I'm not from here, how would I know?
Ye Qiu complained in his mind, shook his head politely, and said, "I don't know."
"Then let me tell you about the origin of Mogan Village." Father Qin took out a cigarette and asked Ye Qiu: "Do you smoke it?"
"I don't smoke."
Ye Qiu hurriedly picked up the lighter from the coffee table and helped Qin's father light the cigarette.
Father Qin took a puff of cigarette and then said slowly: "This cigarette tastes pretty good."
Uncle, please tell me about Mogan Village.
Ye Qiu was extremely anxious, but he smiled politely on his face.
Father Qin took two more puffs of cigarette before he began to tell.
"Mogan Village is deep in the mountains, surrounded by mountains, and almost isolated from the world. Hundreds of years ago, it was a wasteland."
"During the Republic of China, the warlords were fighting, the world was in chaos, and the people were in dire straits. At that time, people had nothing to eat, and there were refugees everywhere."
“Some refugees who didn’t know where they came from stopped at the current location of Mogan Village, cleared wasteland and cultivated land there, and took root from then on.”
"Over time, a village was formed."
When Qin's father said this, he picked up an orange from the fruit plate, handed it to Ye Qiu, and said, "It will take a while for the old woman to cook. Xiaoye, please eat an orange."
Sir, can you please tell me a story without interrupting?
Ye Qiu was speechless.
However, this was Qin's father's wish, and he couldn't refuse it. After taking the orange, he couldn't wait to say: "You'd better tell me about Mogan Village."
"Don't worry, just listen to me and tell you slowly."
Father Qin spoke very much like a storyteller: "They say people's hearts are unpredictable, but I think the most unpredictable thing is God's thoughts."
"Before the founding of the People's Republic of China, Mogan Village had abundant rainfall all year round, so Mogan Village was called Duoshui Village at that time. However, since the year of the founding of the People's Republic of China, Mogan Village has not only received less rain, but has also experienced severe droughts every year."
"At its worst, there was no rain for three years, and the crops were sweating to death. The villagers had to carry water from more than ten miles away."
"Everyone can tolerate it for a month or two, but as time goes by, everyone thinks that continuing like this is not an option."
"When the time comes, I'm afraid I'll die of thirst first if I don't starve to death."
"Later, there was really no other way, so the villagers asked a Feng Shui master to tell their fortunes. What do you think the Feng Shui master said?"
"How do you say it?" Ye Qiu asked.
Qin's father said: "Mr. Feng Shui said that it was because the village name was not chosen well. There was a lot of rain in the past, which led to the current drought. This means that things will inevitably turn upside down. Therefore, he personally gave Duoshui Village a new name."
Ye Qiu guessed it right away and asked: "The name of this new village is Mogan Village?"
"That's right, you melon boy is really smart." Qin's father said in dialect, and then said: "Mogan Mogan, I just hope that there will be no more droughts here."
"The name of the village has been changed, and the people are eagerly waiting for God to rain."
"Waiting, waiting, waiting, waiting for half a month, not a drop of rain fell."
"The villagers felt that everyone had been deceived by Mr. Feng Shui, so they collectively went to Mr. Feng Shui to settle the score."
"Mr. Feng Shui tells everyone that since God doesn't give rain, then you have to find a way out."
"Mr. Feng Shui took a compass and searched inside and outside Mogan Village for three days. Finally, he marked nine places."
"Then, let the villagers dig wells according to his marks."
"Not to mention, the Feng Shui master was very reliable this time. All the nine places he marked showed spring water."
"Since then, these nine wells have become the basis of Mogan Village's survival."
"Later, although there was sufficient rainfall in Mogan Village, there was no long-term drought, and the country also provided running water to the villagers, but these nine wells have always been retained..."
Ye Qiu suddenly realized something was wrong.
He asked about hauntings. Father Qin kept talking for a long time. He talked about the past events of Mogan Village and had nothing to do with hauntings.
"Uncle, what's going on with the haunting?" Ye Qiu asked.
Father Qin said: "This starts with the nine wells. A week ago, a child accidentally fell into a well and drowned in it. I heard he was only a few years old."
"A young man who was good at water went down to retrieve the body. He died at home the next day."
"It is said that when the young man died, his eyes were wide open, as if he had seen something terrible before he died."
"The young man was the first to die, and several more people died one after another. Their death conditions were the same as those of the young people, and there were no external injuries on their bodies."
"That's why the villagers suspected it was an infectious disease."
"The town sent a doctor to investigate a few days ago, but he also died."
Father Qin reminded Ye Qiu and said, "Therefore, you must never go to Mogan Village."
Ye Qiu was recalling what Qin's father had just said. What made him feel strange was that Qin's father lived in the town, so how could he know so much about Mogan Village?
Even if there are relatives in Mogan Village, it is impossible to grasp the situation so clearly, right?
unless……
Village cadre!
"Uncle, who is that relative of yours?" Ye Qiu asked.
"That relative of mine is the head of Mogan Village and also my distant cousin." Qin's father hesitated for a moment and said, "My cousin told me about the things in Mogan Village because he wanted me to tell Wan'er
Let’s see if we can ask Wan’er for help and invite some experts from Jiangzhou to Mogan Village to have a look.”
"The man before Wan'er drove an ambulance at Jiangzhou Central Hospital and knew many experts."
"It's just that the tea is cold when people leave. What's more, Wan'er's man has been dead for several years. How can experts give Wan'er face?"
"So, I didn't tell Wan'er about this."
So that’s it.
"Based on these, you can't conclude that Mogan Village is haunted, right?" Ye Qiu said with a smile.
"Of course it's not just that, something strange happened in Mogan Village."
Father Qin said mysteriously: "After those who died were buried, their graves were dug up the next day, and their bodies disappeared. What do you think this is if it's not haunted?"
