Taoli Village is located in the mountains of Dabei City. Its roads are winding and covered with snow all year round. It is inaccessible. This village is not even on the map. It can be said to be isolated from the world and a veritable paradise. Of course, this is just what it looks like.
That's right.
If the ghost post office hadn't given me an address, it wouldn't have been easy to find it without spending some effort.
Taking one step from the cliff, Lin Qian disappeared directly to the spot. Taoli Village, he was here.
There was a path paved with stone slabs. The falling snowflakes fell on the stone slabs and disappeared in the blink of an eye. Lin Qian walked on the only path into Taoli Village with calm eyes.
Peach trees stand tall on both sides of the path. The peaches hanging from the branches are red, tender and juicy, making people salivate at first sight. The sunlight penetrates between the leaves and shines on the stone road.
Coco looked at the peaches hanging on the branches with bright eyes. He stood up from Lin Qian's shoulders and reached out to pick one from the branch. The branch shook and the peach fell into Coco's hands.
Coco held the big red peach in both hands, sniffed it slightly, and immediately threw the delicious-looking peach to the ground with a look of disgust on her face.
The moment the peach touched the stone pavement, it immediately began to rot. In an instant, it turned into a piece of rotten matter, and a disgusting stench came from the sky.
Lin Qian looked at this scene with a very calm expression. He patted Coco's feet and motioned for her to sit down. Coco curled her lips and looked unhappy.
"Dad, why can't you eat this peach?"
Lin Qian looked at the peach trees around him, and what he saw was that the peach trees were dry and black, with withered branches and leaves, and the peaches were rotten and smelly.
As for sunlight? Oh, that doesn't exist at all. It's just an illusion. No, it can't be said to be an illusion. It should be a supernatural power.
Everything here, including the stone pavement under your feet, is made of supernatural materials.
After hearing Coco's words, Lin Qian thought for a while, took off his glasses and put them on Coco's face:
"Keke, you'll know just by looking at it."
The moment Coco put on her glasses, Coco saw the surrounding situation clearly, and her face was filled with disgust:
"Dad, these things are so ugly and not delicious at all..."
Lin Qian's mouth twitched, and he took the glasses back and put them on his face again, feeling a little helpless:
"Okay, Dad knows. I will go to the village later to see if the peaches there are edible. If you can eat them, I will get some for you."
Hearing this, Keke's eyes suddenly lit up:
"Great!"
Seeing Keke's happy look, Lin Qian shook his head:
"You little snack, come on, let's go in and have a look."
Hearing her father's words, Keke laughed and her two little feet swayed happily.
In response, Lin Qian just shook his head and said nothing. He didn't care about the strange peach trees around him and walked towards Taoli Village.
From what we have just seen, the supernatural here can even deceive Coco. You must know that Coco is no less terrifying than him. With the bride’s supernatural presence, there are very few scary things. Of course, it cannot be ruled out that this snack is because of looking at these peaches.
It was so delicious that I forgot to check it out.
Due to my understanding of Coco, I most likely belong to the latter, but I also tested some things from this, such as the function of ghost glasses.
After seeing through the ghost realm and the existence of evil spirits, Lin Qian basically understood what this meant...
The breeze blew by, blowing the corners of his clothes, and he walked through the path lined with peach trees. Lin Qian arrived at the entrance of the village without incident.
In front of the village, a plum tree and a peach tree stand on both sides. In front of the plum tree is a blue stone tablet with three large blood-red characters "Peach and Plum Village" written on it.
Lin Qian stood at the entrance of the village, squinting her eyes. Looking from the entrance, she saw a small bridge and flowing water. There was a peach and plum tree within ten steps, with plums hanging from the branches.
On the exterior walls of many houses, plum branches protrude from the courtyard walls, and the green plums shine in the sun.
Looking up at the sky, Lin Qian raised his eyebrows. There was no sun in the day, but the light was falling:
"It's interesting. There's something about this village."
Occasionally, villagers pass by in the village, and the faces of these villagers are filled with kind smiles. If you put aside these strange things, just look at these villagers, they are ordinary, simple, and amiable. When others look at them, they will think that this is a good person.
place.
Lin Qian's eyes flickered slightly as she walked into the village. What she saw in front of her eyes was either true or false. Nothing was known.
Entering the village, children were playing in the water by the stream, and cheerful laughter echoed by the stream. Under the plum tree, old men played chess, and the sound of the chessboard falling was crisp and clear.
Women pounded clothes and men farmed, everything looked so beautiful. Lin Qian looked at it all coldly, with a red light flashing in his eyes, but no one could see it because it was covered by glasses.
Walking on the village road, there were plum trees and peach trees next to it. Coco's eyes were bright, staring at a peach on a peach tree, and swallowed.
Coco observed these peaches carefully, her eyes were full of joy, these peaches are edible!
These peach trees are not tall, and Ke Ke can easily pick them by sitting on Lin Qian's shoulders.
Coco stretched out her hand to the nearest peach. Just when she was about to pick one and try it, an old voice came. The voice was very stern, but more anxious:
"Little girl, you can't eat that peach. Take your hand back quickly."
Looking for the reputation, an old man in his fifties or sixties with a wrinkled face and a somewhat thin body came over in a hurry, with a look of worry on his face.
Hearing the old man's words, Lin Qian's eyes were thoughtful, and he reached out to stop Coco:
"Coco, don't pick it yet. We'll see how it goes later."
Seeing that her father had said this, Keke took back her hand in disappointment, with regret in her eyes.
At this time, the old man also came to Lin Qian, breathing heavily, and the wrinkles on his face twitched.
Lin Qian stared at the old man with a very calm expression, even though the old man was terrifying in his eyes:
"Old man, why do you say these peaches can't be eaten? I see there are so many peaches and plums in your village, so there's nothing wrong with my daughter eating two, right?"
"Are all the people in your village so stingy?"
Lin Qian's voice was calm, a smile appeared on his face, he licked the corners of his mouth and resisted the urge to eat the old man.
"Hey, young man, you misunderstood. It's not that the people in our village are stingy. If you had come a few days earlier, you would have eaten these peaches. It doesn't matter how much you eat. As you can see, we don't have many others in Taoli Village."
, there are just so many peaches and plums.”
"But it's different now. We just treated these peaches with medicine the day before yesterday, and the effects of the medicine haven't worn off yet. If you eat them now, you will die."
After the old man took a deep breath, he looked helpless and explained in a serious tone.
Looking at the old man's slightly dull look, Lin Qian smiled and said:
"It turns out that I was wrong. I apologize to the old man here."
Lin Qian spoke very sincerely, with a dangerous red light flashing in his eyes. The old man raised his head and stared at Lin Qian. Seeing Lin Qian dressed as a gentleman, he couldn't help but reveal a smile on his face, waved his hand and said:
"It's okay, it's still our fault. If we had known you would come, we wouldn't have sprayed pesticides. This was really a mistake."
"But you don't have to be disappointed. Although peaches are inedible, plums can still be eaten. There have been no worms on the plums in recent years, but there are worms on the peaches, so we only treated the peaches, not the plums."
Having said this, the old man walked to a plum tree and reached out to pick a handful of plums. Judging from the old man's posture, if his hands were not too small, he might have picked more.
"Now, you guys have a taste of these first. If you think they taste good, you can pick them yourself. We don't have many in our village, but these are the only ones we have in abundance."
The old man held the plums and handed them to Coco. Coco looked at the green plums in the old man's hand and swallowed. Just as he was about to reach out for them, he stopped reaching out and looked down at Lin Qian helplessly, as if he wanted to
Dad said it was okay to eat, but Cocoa looked like he was eating it.
Lin Qian pushed up his glasses, feeling a little helpless. He smiled and reached out to pick up a plum and put it in Coco's hand. He also picked up one, stared at the plum in his hand, and then looked at the old man's incomprehensible eyes. Lin Qianeng
It was obvious that this old guy really wanted them to eat it.
Lin Qian narrowed her eyes, thought for a moment, put the plum into her mouth and took a bite. Suddenly, a green sweetness appeared in her mouth. It was so delicious.
It can be seen that dad ate it, his face was suddenly full of smile, and he started eating bite by bite.
After seeing Lin Qian and Ke Ke both eating plums, the smile on the old man's face was as bright as a chrysanthemum in full bloom.
After Lin Qian and Coco had finished eating the plums, the old man directly stuffed all the plums in his hands into Lin Qian's arms, and then said:
"Hunters, why did you father and daughter come to our Taoli Village? Could it be that you got lost while visiting the mountains and came to us?"
Lin Qian looked at the plums in her arms. These plums were put into Coco's pocket for her convenience. Ordinary people would definitely die if they ate them. It was just a matter of how long it would take.
But he and Keke just ate what they ate. There was no problem with eating as much as they wanted, and there were no big taboos.
"Also? Old man, is there anyone else who came here before us?"
Lin Qian was a little confused. This ghost place looked abnormal. Even an ordinary person could see it. Why would anyone come here?
As for whether he is a ghost controller, haha, usually when a ghost controller sees this ghost place, he will run away without even thinking about it and will not come in to seek death.
Therefore, this old guy must be talking about ordinary people...
Hearing Lin Qian's question, the old man nodded and said:
"It is true that a few people came to our Taoli Village. They accidentally got lost when they went into the mountains to play, and they came to our Taoli Village in a roundabout way."
"Oh, is that so? We are quite lucky. It happened that we, father and daughter, were also on a trip to the mountains. We accidentally lost our way, and we wandered around for a long time before we arrived at your Taoli Village."
"We came here just to ask about the direction and distance from here to the city. If the old man knows, can you tell us father and daughter? We would be very grateful."
Lin Qian's face was full of smiles, and not a single word in his mouth was true.
"Well, I understand. I know the direction and distance to the city. But you see it's getting late now. Why don't you stay here for one night first? I'll have someone take you out at dawn tomorrow. It's just right.
Along with a few others."
The old man looked at the sky not far away. The sky was already dark at the moment, and it was about to get dark.
Lin Qian looked in the direction of the old man and twitched the corners of his mouth, MD, it's one o'clock in the afternoon, and you told me it's getting late, do you think I'm an ordinary person?
Uh... I forgot, this ghost really treats them as ordinary people, otherwise he wouldn't be so blatantly deceiving...
Looking at the gradually darkening sky and looking at the plums in Coco's hand, Lin Qian looked thoughtfully and said:
"Can you influence people's thinking? This is really a good place..."
Seeing the sincere look on the old man's face, Lin Qian thought for a moment and nodded and said:
"Looking at it, it's really getting late. It may get dark soon. This is a remote country and it's in the mountains. It's inevitable that there will be some kind of jackals, tigers and leopards. It's really unsafe to travel in the dark."
"Then the boy will trouble the old man. He is causing a lot of trouble. I hope the old man won't find it troublesome."
Lin Qian's words were very sincere and he directly told what the old man wanted to say.
Hearing Lin Qian's words, the old man's eyes suddenly glazed over for a moment, but then returned to normal, nodded with a smile on his face and said:
"No trouble, no trouble. There is no need to bother about this little thing. In that case, you can come with me. I am the village chief here. I have more rooms at home, so you can come and stay at my house."
"It just so happens that those lost tourists are also at my house. They are just like you. They are also young people. You can have something to talk about when you live together."
With that said, the old village chief led Lin Qian and his daughter towards the center of the village.
Lin Qian squinted her eyes and looked down at the plum tree next to her. The plums were green and yellow, and the plum tree was pretty and had luxuriant branches.
Looking through the tree roots, I saw a snow-white withered skeleton wrapped around the roots of a plum tree. A faint coldness surrounded the withered skeleton and lasted for a long time.
"Haha, I was really right. There are dead bones under the plum tree. It's sad that the plums are so delicious..."
Looking at the slightly stooped old man, Lin Qian smiled, with some excitement on his face, and followed the old man towards the village:
"What a good thing, with many ghosts and even more ghost slaves..."
"If I eat them all, I wonder if the starving ghost will become more terrifying?"
Lin Qian was a little curious, but he was not in a hurry and would wait until he finished picking the plums.
…………
Outside Taoli Village, on a cliff, the sound of trampling on the snow appeared, and a roe deer, which was eating grass roots, raised its head, with curiosity in its eyes.
After the roe deer saw clearly what made the sound, he turned around and ran away without any hesitation. As a result, he hit a tree again with a bang...
Zhao Yunyun, Liu San and Xia Hanxin looked at the fainted roe deer with strange expressions, and the corners of their mouths twitched:
"Is this the famous mythical beast here? It is indeed worthy of its name, and it is as silly as the legend." Zhao Yunyun said.
Liu San had a strange look on his face and shook his head without saying anything. He walked over and took the silly roe deer aside.
This is a mythical beast. Although it is a bit silly, it is not a mythical beast after all.
The three of them came to the edge of the cliff and overlooked Taoli Village in the valley below. When they saw the scene of Taoli Village clearly, the three of them were silent. After a long time, Zhao Yunyun spoke, his voice a little low:
"This is where we are going? There are peach and plum trees standing there, and there are still fruits on the trees."
Having said this, Zhao Yunyun looked up at the gloomy sky, and then at the golden sun shining in Taoli Village:
"Isn't this a bit outrageous? Would anyone really go to this ghost place?"
"Are we really not going to die?"
Hearing Zhao Yunyun's words, Liu San and Xia Hanxin fell silent. It was indeed the same as what Zhao Yunyun said. This Taoli Village was really outrageous, not to mention that there were still peaches and plums in the winter.
Just say that the sunshine falling on Taoli Village clearly told them that something was wrong and strange here, so don't wander around blindly.
"Are we still going?"
At this time, Xia Hanxin asked nervously. She was not afraid of weird places like Taoli Village, but was afraid of being alone.
I heard from Zhao Yunyun and Liu San that when they delivered the letter this time, someone was already in front of them, and they just followed him to eat shit.
To be honest, if the ghost post office hadn't asked her to come too, and she heard that that person was there, she would never have come to a place like this, let alone meeting that person...
She was already frightened. She felt that she could survive because her ancestor burned incense. Otherwise, how could that person let her go after killing her two friends?
"Go, why don't you go? We are all here. We have to go to whatever we say. The ghost post office is not so easy to fix."
"Didn't a messenger play a trick last time? When delivering the letter, he deliberately stopped in one place and asked his teammates to go instead of delivering the letter himself. As expected, he was killed by a ghost, and his body was directly
The ghost was cut into eight pieces."
"If his teammates hadn't come back alive and discovered his body, no one might have known about this."
"I don't want to die like this, with my body cut into pieces."
Hearing Liu San's words, Zhao Yunyun and Xia Han felt a chill in their hearts. This chill made them both shiver at the same time.
"Well, then, let's go. Maybe by the time we go, that person will have been taken care of." Zhao Yunyun said with some reluctance.
"Well, I hope so. Let's go down as soon as possible. This place is not close to Taoli Village. Don't look at Taoli Village. It is very close to us. But if we really want to start walking, I don't know how long it will take. I still have the allusion of Wangshan to run to death.
I know." Liu San said.
Zhao Yunyun and Xia Hanxin nodded, their faces full of solemnity and their eyes filled with worry. To be honest, they had never seen such a vicious person in their lives. He was simply more vicious than a ghost.
The three of them turned around and left, the snow creaking under their feet, and the sound gradually faded away.
As the three people left, silence returned to the snow. The sleeping roe deer who was lying on the ground suddenly jumped up without knowing when. His little head looked around, his eyes full of confusion.
.
But then, as if the roe deer had forgotten something, it lowered its head and began to eat grass roots in the snow, looking very leisurely.
