Chen Zhi was confused. After watching Chun Hua'er leave, he also got out and returned to Ye Zi's house. After entering, he saw that the food had been prepared and a group of people were waiting for Chen Zhi to eat. He showed off his power.
She took out her smartphone and played with it for Ye Zi to look at. Qin Yueyang wiped the wounds with alcohol on the Tukang. After walking on the mountain road for several days, the skin on her feet was broken.
Chen Zhi's head was spinning, he walked over, sat next to Ye Zi and asked tentatively. "Sister Ye Zi, I just met Chunhua again outside. I heard that your fox sacrifice ceremony in the evening was quite a big event.
?
"Tch!" Ye Zi sneered after hearing this and said, "Did she tell you to take her out of the village quickly because she is going to be sacrificed to the gods?"
"Yeah", Chen Zhi was stunned for a moment and nodded.
Ye Zi said helplessly, "These people are superstitious and crazy. They actually believe from the bottom of their hearts that the fox fairy on the mountain really exists. They think that the girl chosen by my great-grandmother will be sent to the fox cave to work as a maid for the fox fairy. In fact,
My great-grandmother only lived a little longer, how could she be so amazing?
That silly girl Chun Hua'er has been in panic every day since she won the talisman lottery last year. She said that she was going to worship the gods. Whenever foreigners came, she would beg them to take her away. In fact, this memorial ceremony is held every year in our village.
It is held to select maids for the Fox Fairy on the mountain. It has been held every year since ancient times. It is just a traditional activity. The girl who draws the talisman only has the title of sacrificial maiden, and she will live.
Okay. The sacrifices offered to the Fox Fairy are all pig heads, live chickens and the like. How can it be possible to sacrifice a living person? This is too scary."
Hearing this, Chen Zhi suddenly interrupted Ye Zi and asked, "Have you seen the girls who were sacrificed before? Are they all alive?"
After hearing Chen Zhi's question, Ye Zi seemed to find it funny and said, "Of course I have seen them. Many of them have married to other villages. I saw one a few days ago." Ye Zi said affirmatively.
"Then why don't you let people from other villages spend the night here?" Chen Zhi stared at Ye Zi and continued to ask.
"Why don't people from outside the village spend the night here? People from outside often come to see my great-grandmother and stay in the village, but that requires my great-grandmother's consent." Ye Zi replied.
Ye Zi picked up Pang Wei's cell phone, fiddled with it a few times with great interest and said, "The fox sacrifice ceremony in the evening is our village's own event. We hate some people from other villages who come here to take photos and interviews and disturb us.
There are also many scammers, so we don’t want to associate with outsiders.”
"Oh", Chen Zhi looked at Ye Zi's face and said nothing.
The game in the mountains is very fragrant, and Ye Zi’s craftsmanship is good. After dinner, Chen Zhi wanted to stay and see the fox fairy mother, but Zi Zi refused. Zi Zi said that because there was a fox sacrifice ceremony today, her great-grandmother wanted to eat all day long.
They stayed in the ancestral hall and could not come out. Ye Zi brought them two large bags of wild game and asked them to leave the village before dark.
Fat Wei got along very well with Zi Zi during this day. Zi Zi liked his smartphone very much, so Fat Wei generously gave it to her and promised her to take her to see the city in a few days.
After dinner, Chen Zhi sat on the threshold, thinking about what to do next. Fat Wei came over and sat down next to him, and lowered his voice and said to Chen Zhi: "I have been talking to Ye Zi all day today. She has been talking to her a few days ago."
She was sent to the town to study in 1999. She hated this superstitious village. She said that her sister died of a sudden illness and she had never seen a corpse. I kept looking at her face while she was talking. She didn’t know anything about it.
I know, I guess I'm not lying." Fat Wei looked back at Ye Zi who was wiping Qin Yueyang's wound, and said softly to Chen Zhi: "We must go to the fox sacrifice ceremony tonight, there must be something fishy in this village.
When the sun went down, Chen Zhixian went to the firewood pile to look for Spring Flowers as promised, but there was no trace of her.
Chen Zhi had no choice but to go back to Ye Zi's house first. At this time, some villagers appeared at the door of Ye Zi's house. These villagers were very strong, holding spades and pickaxes in their hands, without a trace of smile on their faces, and with strange eyes.
He looked like a cult believer who had been brainwashed for a long time.
An old man in the lead said, "It's getting dark, so all outsiders should leave the village. We don't allow outsiders to stay overnight here." The old man's voice was buzzing, like phlegm stuck in it, which was very characteristic.
"Did you see? This is not something I can say. You should leave quickly! It's hard to walk on the mountain road after dark." Ye Zi said helplessly to Chen Zhi and others, pretending to see off guests.
In this way, Ye Zi led Chen Zhi's team towards the entrance of the village.
Fat Wei was very dissatisfied with the old man's rude behavior and asked Ye Zi: "Miss, who is that old man? He is so fierce and dares to talk to you in that tone?"
Ye Zi sighed helplessly, "He is Chun Hua'er's father. He is the priest of the village ancestral hall. He has great power in the village. If I hadn't taken you in, he would have beaten you out with a pickaxe. Usually, except for me, he
Great-grandmother, I am not afraid of anyone. This shabby village is full of superstition. I must leave this shabby village." Ye Zi said angrily.
In this way, Chen Zhi and others were sent to the entrance of the village. Zi Zi said goodbye to them one by one. Pang Wei kept promising Zi Zi that he would come back in two days and take Zi Zi to see the city, and asked Zi Zi to put his smartphone away.
Well, he would call often, and Ye Zi would smile and say nothing.
After several people left the village, it was already dark. Instead of going up the mountain, they pitched their tents at the foot of the mountain.
In the tent, several people discussed it. Chen Zhi believed that Qin Yueyang's condition was very bad. Although she never said it herself, Chen Zhi could tell that she was not used to the climate in the mountains and she could not walk as fast as before.
So he wanted Xiao Gu'er to take Qin Yueyang back to the town first. He, Pang Wei, and Gui Dao went into the village at night to have a look.
Xiao Gu'er was very reluctant at first. He insisted on going with Chen Zhi, saying that he wanted to find clues about Mai Sui'er. Qin Yueyang also disagreed. She was worried that Chen Zhi would be unable to deal with dangers such as illusions, and she would not be able to deal with them by then.
Dharma Master Bao gave instructions. So the final result was that everyone lurked at the foot of the mountain and waited to set off together at night.
The deep mountains in the Northeast were freezing cold, and everyone stayed in the tent at the foot of the mountain. For fear of being discovered, they didn't even light a bonfire. The faces of Chen Zhi and others had been numbed by the cold wind. Chen Zhi saw Qin Yueyang sitting
On one side, he put his hands into his arms, his face was very red and swollen, and he was trying to maintain even breathing.
At about 8 o'clock in the evening, Guidao asked everyone to look forward. Chen Zhi saw that many torches suddenly lit up in the village. The flames slowly gathered towards the center of the village.
It was probably time. Chen Zhi nodded to the team and motioned for everyone to follow him down the mountain.
Before Fat Wei went up the mountain, he patted Chen Zhi and said, "Chengzi, please be more alert later. Damn it, I smelled a smell of blood from the moment I entered this ghost village. The people in this village definitely eat meat."
