Chapter 172: Japanese soldiers or Eighth Route Army?
"Then why? I think this village is quite good. There should be many people living here. Why on earth are so many people willing to move away?" Meng Shiyu interjected and asked.
"Come on, come on, come in quickly!" The old man suddenly became mysterious, looked around, and then pulled Meng Shiyu and me in.
After we entered the house, the old man quickly closed the door and said nervously, "I'm telling you, don't be afraid, our village is haunted!"
The old man lowered his voice and frowned, "Because there are ghosts in our village, everyone else who has the ability to leave has already left. I am the village chief here and I have lived here for decades.
, as I got older, I didn’t want to bother anymore, so I stayed and never moved away.”
"Tell me, village chief, what kind of ghost is there in your village, and how did that ghost die?" I asked the village chief.
The village chief frowned and scratched his head a few times, "I have never seen the ghosts in our village with my own eyes, so I don't know how to tell you specifically."
"Then you haven't seen any ghosts, how do you know there are ghosts in your village?" I don't understand. In fact, the haunting legends in many places are false.
Some people in relatively desolate places, when they hear any disturbance, they think it is a ghost, and then they spread the word everywhere, one to two, two to three, and the three of them become tigers...
This is human nature. Even if something is not true, if more people say it, it will naturally become true, because everyone takes what they hear as fact.
"Don't you believe what I said?" Seeing that I didn't believe what he said, the village chief became a little anxious. "What I told you are all facts. There is really a ghost in our village!"
The village chief added, "In our village during this period, we often hear loud footsteps outside at night, but when we go out to look, we can't see anyone.
And the footsteps we heard were also very strange. It was not the sound of a person running by, but the sound of a large group of people running by. And when they ran by, they not only made a loud running sound, but also made a loud running sound.
There is also a "dinging" sound, as if they are carrying a lot of messy sounds.
Moreover, their voices are very hurried, and they often run by in a hurry. They often only sound for a while, and then all the sounds suddenly stop.
The village chief added, "Actually, it's not true that no one has seen ghosts. Wang Laoer in our village said that one time when he went out to use the toilet in the middle of the night, he saw a pair of Japanese men in front of his door carrying various guns and weapons.
When the army passed by, he was in a daze, thinking that a film crew was coming to our village to film!
At dawn the next day, when he told others about it, he realized that he had seen a ghost!"
Japanese ghost soldiers!
Listening to what the village chief said, my heart trembled. There were actually Japanese ghost soldiers in this ordinary village!
I clenched my fists and dug my nails into my palms.
If there are really Japanese ghost soldiers in this village, I must get rid of them as soon as possible, otherwise if they are found first by Japanese people like Ito Saji and others with ulterior motives, the consequences will be very serious.
The village chief hesitated for a moment, and then said, "But what Wang Laoer said may not be right. There is another saying in our village, that is, those who passed our village were not Japanese troops, but the Eighth Route Army, because they
The group of people I saw were wearing light blue military uniforms with a five-pointed star on their hats.
The light blue military uniform and the five-pointed star on the hat are indeed the attire of the Eighth Route Army during the Anti-Japanese War.
But this is too strange a change!
The Japanese army during World War II and our Eighth Route Army were very different in appearance. Anyone with a little common sense or someone who has watched anti-Japanese dramas would not confuse the Eighth Route Army with the Japanese army.
"But neither the Japanese army nor the Eighth Route Army should exist in this world, so our village is not peaceful and there are ghosts here. It is recognized by everyone, so no one dares to continue to live here since then.
, they all moved away.”
Things in this village were really strange, so I decided to stay and find out what was going on here.
The threat of Japanese ghost soldiers is too great. If there are really Japanese ghost soldiers here, they must not be allowed to see the light of day again.
After making the decision, I said to the village chief, "Village Chief, I plan to stay and find out what's going on here."
"You kid, stop making trouble, you are not afraid of ghosts! I am an old man, I have lived for decades, what have I not experienced? Death is just death, there is no pity! You are still very young, if you
It would be such a pity to die! Even if you are really not afraid of death, you still have to think more about your family!" The village chief became anxious as soon as he heard that we wanted to stay.
I took out my lightning strike mahogany sword, played with it a few times, and then said to the village chief, "Village chief, I am actually a Maoshan Taoist priest who specializes in catching ghosts. I am not afraid, and I will not cause you any trouble!"
The village chief looked closely at the lightning strike mahogany sword in my hand and said excitedly, "Okay, okay, okay, so you are a Maoshan Taoist priest! This would be the best. If you can drive away the dirty things in our village,
It would be best if I left. I have lived here for many years. There used to be a lot of people here, but now there is no one in the village. I am not used to it. It’s great that you guys stay.”
Then the village chief said excitedly, "You can stay with me for the time being these days! By the way, you haven't had lunch yet! Just wait, I'll make lunch now."
The village chief said and walked to the kitchen.
After the village chief left, I said to Meng Shiyu with a slight apology, "Meng Shiyu, I decided to stay here temporarily without consulting you. Will you blame me?"
Meng Shiyu looked at it, and then showed a bright smile, "How could I be angry! You are a Taoist priest from Maoshan, catching ghosts and subduing demons is what you should do!"
I was originally worried that Meng Shiyu would be angry!
Seeing that Meng Shiyu didn't take this matter to heart at all, I was completely relieved.
It's just that the car I drove from Meng Xiuxiu's place is still parked on the road!
What to do with that car became a problem!
Finally, Meng Shiyu thought of a way. After entering the village, the mobile phone signal was much better. Meng Shiyu said to call her father and ask him to send someone to deal with the car.
