"I had my eye on this village before I set out, because according to the information I collected, this village was actually abandoned more than 30 years ago. It is also the longest-lasting village in the area."
Yue Ming said seriously: "Although Luwei Town disappeared hundreds of years ago, and the surrounding towns were gradually abandoned because of Luwei Town, some villages have persisted longer than we imagined. For example, this village is
It was not until more than fifty years ago that the real abandonment began. As for the main reason for the abandonment, a second-rate master came out of this village, so only one person became enlightened, and the chickens and dogs ascended to heaven. As a result, half of the village chose to leave, and the rest
When people saw that they had doubled their fields out of thin air, they were naturally happy to stay, but as a result, they still encountered some unexplainable things."
"After the disappearance of Luwei Town, nearby towns experienced grain harvest failures. Even if the weather was smooth this year, everyone still took care of their one-third-acre land. In the end, they still could not receive the normal amount of grain, and
This is true even for vegetables that can be harvested in a month or two, so this is the main reason why most people choose to leave. After all, a good paddy field is not as good as a thin field elsewhere, so who can bear it? As for the other one
The reason why everyone chooses to leave is that there are always some strange movements after dark."
"Perhaps the most common thing is that someone knocks on the door in the middle of the night. When the door is opened, no one can be seen, not even a cat or dog, so this scares many people, and some people who do not believe in evil squat down.
Behind the door, when I heard a knock on the door, I went to open it, but found nothing; and some ingredients and leftovers in the kitchen would disappear out of thin air. You know, even a pig weighing dozens of kilograms would disappear in the blink of an eye.
It just disappears, but what changes is that people are okay, otherwise people in these towns would have left long ago, but there is a saying that a dull knife cuts the flesh, and this kind of accident that doesn't happen is more scary."
"In addition, there are many small problems that have occurred. For example, newborns in these towns are more likely to die after Luwei Town disappears. If there were one or two deaths every year before Luwei Town disappeared, then now it is
It has become more than 20, and some children are missing arms and legs. It’s scary to think that they have become three-headed and six-armed! Even a few decades ago, when my grandfather and I were about the same age,
He saw a child with three eyes and two hands, one long and one short. However, this child received the blessing of the moon god and finally became almost like an ordinary person, except that the third eye still had a scar.
"
"But the closer these things are to Luwei Town, the more likely they are to happen. So there have been incidents in this village, but the problems are not big and the frequency is average. That's why they have persisted for so long, and this village is also quite special.
Yes, that is, the aboriginal people in the village were kicked out just like us. To put it bluntly, you will have no home except here, unless you are willing to go to other places and start all over again, but how easy is it? As for the final outcome of this village
The main reason why I still can't persist is that the young men in the village can't get wives, and the older girls can't get married either, so they have no choice but to leave."
"So when the last few old people who were unwilling to leave their hometown drove to Hexi, the village gradually became abandoned. However, because this village was abandoned relatively late, many passers-by would choose to spend the night here, and even
There are some people like us who want to make a comeback here, but in the end they can't survive; so our idea is very simple, that is, give it a try in this village first, and if everything goes well, it's not impossible to stay.
After all, it is really difficult for us to go back to Yueshan City, and if it doesn’t work, then we can only go to other places to make a living."
As soon as Yue Ming finished speaking, Liu Xing saw the people tied to the tree stump.
"Luo Shi?"
As soon as Wu Ji's words came out, Liu Xing noticed that there was one, and the only one whose mouth was gagged with a cloth. His eyes lit up instantly, and the clothes he was wearing looked quite gorgeous.
Then, Luo Shi started to twist excitedly, but because he was tied up with a rope, it looked a little funny?
Wu Ji stepped forward and allowed Luo Shi to regain the ability to speak, and Luo Shi quickly said: "Yes, I am Luo Shi! Are you here to save me? Then untie me quickly!"
Is your tone a bit harsh?
Liu Xing frowned, feeling that Luo Shi was indeed a dandy. The tone of his words was really that bad, and he didn't even say a word of thanks.
"I am a friend of a friend of yours, and he said that you had a ferret like him, so I thought of you when I found a ferret on the roadside."
Wu Ji smiled and was not in a hurry to untie Luo Shi, "I talked with this brother-in-law, and he said that you took the initiative, but ended up being tied here because you didn't fight, so is this true or false?
Woolen cloth?"
At this time, Liu Xing did not forget to make a psychological judgment on Luo Shiguo, because Liu Xing was very worried that this guy would lie.
Automatically determine success.
"Well, we just had a little conflict, and then I said some not-so-nice things."
To Liu Xing's surprise, Luo Shi actually gave in, "Since you know my name, you should also have heard about my current situation, so I must be in a bad mood, so the tone of my words
It's just a little heavier, and the guy next to you and I are both impatient, and in the end we didn't even say a word... You have all seen that there are only a few of me and my entourage, I'm sure
I can't beat all the heroes, and I really thought they were all reckless heroes at the time, so I felt that I was not far from death, so in order to leave a better name for myself after my death, I chose to speak arrogantly."
"Well, that's really what happened."
Yue Ming nodded and said: "It was lunch time, and our family was resting in a forest that could provide shade. I took my friends to the river to get water and catch fish, and then we got together with this brother named Luo.
We had some quarrels, but now that I think about it, it was quite unnecessary; however, the weather in the past two days has been really hot, and we were also driven out of Yueshan City a few days ago, so our tempers were much louder than usual.
, so we just took it easy and started fighting directly.”
"So this is an accident."
Liu Xing shook his head and said: "This hot day can indeed make people feel irritable. In addition, you are also considered to be poor people in the world. You were all kicked out of your home recently, so if there is any conflict, there may be a direct fight.
But now that everyone has spoken out, please give me, Mr. Liu, some face and let this matter go away, right?"
As soon as Liu Xing finished speaking, Yue Ming very discerningly stepped forward to loosen Luo Shi's bonds, and Luo Shi also cooperated and said thank you.
In this way, this matter can be regarded as a perfect solution.
When Liu Xing returned the ferret to Luo Shi, Luo Shi did not mention the thin dog. This made Liu Xing certain that the thin dog had nothing to do with Luo Shi, because the owner of the thin dog was really Luo Shi.
, then he should ask himself something like "Have you ever seen a thin dog" at this time.
Of course, Liu Xing didn't feel any guilt at this time.
It seems that the thin dog has another owner.
But having said that, because this matter was caused by both parties being at fault and causing trouble in anger, Liu Xing cannot say that it was Yue Ming and others who did something bad, so the recruitment plan prepared before was
I can only give up.
Fortunately, Yue Ming and Yue Ming are friends, so Liu Xing can only hope that Yue Ming will take the initiative to invite Yue Ming and others to join Tianshui Town. However, Liu Xing is also worried that Yue Ming will in turn invite Yue Ming to stay here. After all, everyone is
Friends, it would be more convenient to live together.
After thinking about this for a moment, Liu Xing decided to stay in the village for another midnight snack while waiting for everything to settle down.
What Liu Xing didn't expect was that Luo Shi actually asked to join Tianshui Town.
Because he was a friend of a friend, Wu Ji still told Luo Shi some information about Liu Xing.
"Lord Captain, if you don't mind, please let me do my job!"
Luo Shi said very seriously: "I know you should know about our situation and think that I am just an ordinary dude, but this is just my disguise! Because my mother's family is worse than the Luo family.
Not even a little bit, so I have known since I was a child that my status in the family is a bit embarrassing. Although my father loves me as a son, my brothers and sisters don't like me, so they will exclude me behind my back, so I just
I can find a way to leave myself a way out to ensure that I can live for a few more years after my parents pass away."
"So I have been a playboy for so many years so that I can turn the pocket money given by my family into my own money. I believe Liu Xiaowei can understand what I mean. After all, these pocket money can be used for eating, drinking and having fun.
If I use it for other things, I might be targeted by my brothers and sisters; therefore, there are many things in my car that can be taken out for money, so my previous idea was to go to Liangcheng to sell these things.
, and then buy a house to start a new life. For example, I have taught myself some Baishoumen skills over the years, so it should be no problem to tame some small animals."
"Oh, let me tell you why your ferret is so obedient. It turned out to be specially trained by you? Then you are indeed a talent." Liu Xing said with a smile.
But then again, if Luo Shi hadn't mentioned the Hundred Beasts Sect at this time, Liu Xing would have almost forgotten that there was a disciple of the Hundred Beasts Sect in the convoy, and this Fengtaki, who also injured his leg, seemed to be very good at sneaking.
He is so talented. He has been like a transparent person in the team for the past two days. Liu Xing almost forgot that there is such a person, because he never showed up no matter what happened to the team. It seems that he really plans to stay in Tianshui.
Town pension.
So should we accept this Luo Shi?
In other words, has Luo Shi lied now?
If Luo Shi had not lied, Liu Xing would have thought that he was a smart man, because he had been able to recognize his position since he was a child, and he had planned ahead and left a way out for himself within his ability.
However, Liu Xing also felt that Luo Shi might be making excuses for his prodigal behavior, because some people like to find excuses for their actions to feel at ease after doing something bad.
For example, Luo Shi at this time may have been living and drinking, and in order to spend the money with peace of mind, he attributed everything to what his brothers and sisters owed him.
But what Liu Xing is more concerned about now is how many things Luo Shi put in his carriage. If they were just ordinary belongings, it would be nothing, because Tianshui Town is not short of such money.
Thinking of this, Liu Xing subconsciously looked at the carriage, and Luo Shi also noticed this.
"Liu Xiaowei, I know that ordinary wealth is nothing to you, because His Highness the Third Prince has rewarded you with a lot of gold, silver and jewelry!"
Luo Shi said in a flattering tone: "But there is a good thing on my carriage that you can't expect, and that is a legendary ancient object! Although no one is sure yet what the function of this ancient object is and how to use it, but
It can still sell for a high price in the market! And if you, Colonel Captain, can stimulate the energy of this ancient object, then it will be a huge profit!"
When he heard Luo Shi mention the word "antique", Liu Xing knew that he had to keep Luo Shi, because he had already guessed the function and activation method of this ancient object, so as long as he found a suitable
Antiquities, then the sense of security in Sweetwater Town can be directly filled up.
Of course, Liu Xing has also heard that some ancient objects are not suitable for the target, so there may be an embarrassing situation of injuring the enemy by one thousand and damaging oneself by eight hundred.
However, this did not affect Liu Xing's decision to let Luo Shi join his army.
Ever since, Luo Shi joined the convoy with a smile and handed the antiques on the carriage to Liu Xing.
If it hadn't been for the reminder given to Liu Xing in the Cthulhu Run Game Hall, Liu Xing would not have recognized that the thing in his hand was an ancient relic, because it looked like an ordinary stone and could be seen everywhere on the roadside.
That kind of.
Looking at Liu Xing who looked confused, Luo Shi quickly explained: "Master Xiaowei, please don't look at this stone as if it is ordinary, as if I just picked it up from the ground. In fact, it is magical! Otherwise
Nor will it be regarded as a priceless antique."
As Luo Shi spoke, he picked up a piece of firewood from the fire next to him.
And when the firewood came close to the stone in Liu Xing's hand, the stone immediately turned red, that kind of very transparent red!
