Chapter 228 Strange things in the small village 28
Looking at the crowded crowd in front of him, the coachman frowned and said to Gu Nian and Lin Chen who were sitting in the carriage: "Master and Madam, the road ahead is blocked. I don't know how long it will take to be clear. How long will it take?"
Otherwise... let's take a detour?"
Lin Chen glanced at Gu Nian, and when he saw Gu Nian nodded to him, he agreed, "Okay."
They originally planned to take a carriage and look around in this small village. They could take a detour to see other places.
"Okay!" A honest smile appeared on the coachman's face: "I happen to know that there is another road near here. The road is very wide, flat and easy to walk, but it is a bit remote and there are not many people. You two take your seats.
, let’s turn around and set off!”
The driver took them through two small streets that were not very wide, then turned a corner and drove the car into an alley with a very wide road.
As the driver said, this road is spacious and flat, but there are very few pedestrians on the road. The surroundings are very quiet, and only the chirping of birds can be heard.
"Uncle!" Gu Nian called to the driver who was driving the carriage. While observing the situation outside through the window of the carriage, he said: "This road is spacious and flat, and it seems that there are many houses along the street. Why?
It will be so quiet, there won’t be many pedestrians on the road.”
"You young couple, you look like they are from outside. You don't know the situation in our village. A few decades ago, this street was the most prosperous street in our village. People living on this street
At that time, the largest family in our village was the Li family. I heard that the Li family at that time was really prosperous. There were as many as forty or fifty direct descendants."
Upon hearing the word "Li family", Gu Nian and Lin Chen exchanged glances with each other.
They guessed that this Li family should be the Li family of Granny Li Liu and the masked man!
"Uncle, then... did something happen later? What happened here... from prosperity to desolation?"
Gu Nian asked while looking at the surrounding environment, only to find that here
"Well, I wasn't born yet when the Li family fell. Some things were told by my grandparents." The coachman said, "But since it was said by my grandparents, it should be true."
"Uncle, what happened to the Li family?" Gu Nian quickly asked.
"It is said that one night several decades ago, a total of ninety-nine and eighty-one people died in the Li family overnight! Even some of the servants died with their ancestors."
The uncle shook his head and sighed.
"What happened to the Li family back then? How could so many people die overnight?" Gu Nian asked.
"That... I don't know either." The uncle coachman shrugged and replied in a dumbfounded voice, "I'm afraid anyone who knows what happened that night is already dead."
"But, I can tell you why this street has become deserted."
Having said this, the driver uncle suddenly lowered his voice, as if he was afraid of disturbing something.
"It is said that after the night when eighty-one members of the Li family died unfortunately, this place would be...haunted every night!"
