Turning around, just as his vision turned to the left side, Kong Ling's eyes suddenly opened wide! In addition to his eyes widening and his expression suddenly changing, his body also trembled suddenly like an electric shock!
Why did the girl's expression change drastically during the observation? reason? The reason is very simple, that's because Kong Ling discovered something and saw an extremely sudden and terrifying scene.
Just now, when her ethereal eyes glanced to the left, that is, towards a big tree at the entrance of the village a few meters away, she saw a woman, a woman covered in blood. The woman had disheveled hair, pale skin, and a striking figure. Hanging from a tree branch by a hemp rope, her tongue was hanging out in her mouth. In addition, on the woman's pale and ferocious face...
A pair of unyielding blood-red eyes are currently staring at Kong Ling! ! !
This was a sudden scene, so sudden that no one could react in time.
Da da da!
Seeing this scene, Kong Ling's expression changed drastically. She was instantly startled into a cold sweat while her body shook and fell back. She retreated hastily in a completely uncontrollable manner. It was not until Tang Meng quickly grabbed her with quick eyes and hands that the girl was embarrassed. After finishing the retreat, the girl's panic reaction was seen by others. Seeing that Kong Ling showed a rare expression of fear during the observation period, and even stepped back uncontrollably. Seeing this, everyone was shocked. Unexpectedly, even Even the ethereal beings who are naturally immune to fear sometimes show panic? If so, why? What scares the girl? Or what did Kong Ling see just now?
No one knew exactly what they saw, but Kong Ling suddenly came back to his senses after being supported by Tang Meng in time. He immediately raised his head and looked forward again, but the strange thing was...
Mingming's eyes were opened to the maximum, and Mingming's field of vision was still in the open state of the Sky Eye. But when Kong Ling raised his head again and looked at the big tree, he saw that the tree was already empty. The woman who was hanging on the branch just now had disappeared. There was nothing else. Hanging woman? Some of them were just ordinary big trees. Even if she opened her eyes and searched carefully, at most, there would only be the first faint red mist floating around.
(Huh? What's going on? I clearly saw it just now, but why did it happen in the blink of an eye...)
(This is impossible!)
"Ugh!"
Because she was really unwilling to do so, Kong Ling wanted to continue observing, but unfortunately, as soon as she decided to pay attention, the girl's brain became dizzy, and she was instantly enveloped by an extremely strong sense of dizziness, which caused her to close her eyes in pain and quickly closed her eyes. Obviously, due to the long time of opening the Heavenly Eye, the girl's energy loss was severely counterattacked, so she had to close the Heavenly Eye and cover her eyes to rest for a while. Kong Ling finally managed to raise her head amidst everyone's uncertainty. As soon as she raised her head, Zhao Ping frowned. Qiansuo asked first: "Tell me, what did you just see?"
Unlike others who first worried about the girl herself, Zhao Ping asked with an urgent tone. He first asked Kong Ling what he had just seen in his eyes. When he saw the man with glasses, he immediately talked about the key point. Kong Ling didn't write ink, and answered truthfully while panting: "Phew, I, I just saw a woman hanging who couldn't be seen with the naked eye."
Having said this, the girl raised her finger and pointed at the big tree: "The woman is hanging under that tree!"
What! ! !
As Kong Ling raised his hand and pointed at the big tree, in an instant, the crowd, including Zhao Ping, was shocked! If others were just simply horrified, then Chen Xiaoyao simply took action. As soon as Kong Ling finished speaking, there was only a sound breaking through the air, and Chen Xiaoyao jumped towards the big tree opposite! ………
He came at an extremely fast speed, but after arriving under the tree, Chen Xiaoyao didn't do anything big. Instead, he prioritized sticking a detection talisman on the tree. But the blame lies here. He specializes in sensing spiritual bodies. The Taoist talisman was clearly attached to the tree, but the talisman showed no response and never burned.
"this……"
Staring at the unresponsive detection talisman in front of him, Chen Xiaoyao, who was already ready to attack, was dumbfounded. He didn't know where to attack the Taoist spell he had just finished brewing. It is conceivable that if you can't even find the target, what are you going to attack? Puff the air?
Seeing Chen Xiaoyao stunned and motionless under the tree, everyone observing behind him also looked stunned. After all, Kong Ling had personally said that he saw a ghost under the tree. Chen Xiaoyao also reacted very quickly and decisively attacked. Unexpectedly, the final result turned out to be like this. ? Seeing this, Zhao Ping and others were all surprised. It was only then that Kong Ling took a breath and urgently added: "
But I only saw it once. If I looked again, the female ghost was gone. "
how come……
After hearing what the girl added, everyone suddenly turned from astonishment to surprise. This was not because they had this reaction, but because everyone knew about ethereal abilities and knew the characteristics of the Sky Eye very clearly. It was the Sky Eye, a special thing that is rare in the world. The eyes, when not opened, are equivalent to the yin and yang eyes. They can capture and see most spiritual bodies. If they are truly opened, even high-level spiritual bodies that are deliberately hidden can be discovered. In the past, every time the heavenly eye was opened, I gained something, but I never thought that something unexpected would happen this time. The accident meant that although the Heavenly Eye did see a ghost, it only saw it once. When I saw it a second time, the ghost disappeared inexplicably?
"Hey, I said Kong Ling, are you sure there's a female ghost hanging under the tree?" Just when Zhao Ping and others were confused, Chen Xiaoyao, who had just run to the tree, came back again and looked at him with a suspicious tone. Kong Ling confirmed, and Kong Ling nodded affirmatively: "I'm sure, my eyes never make mistakes. I really saw it just now."
"Could it be that the female ghost left?" Because she really didn't understand what happened just now, she maintained her inner suspicion. Cheng Ying expressed her personal opinion. After hearing this, Tang Meng agreed, and Peng Hu, who had been nervous and alert, expressed his opinion. , Li Tianheng and Chen Shuihong also hold similar views. As for Zhao Ping...
The man with glasses neither nodded in agreement nor uttered a rebuttal. After learning the cause and effect of the matter, he frowned and pondered secretly. He didn't know what he was thinking. Maybe give him some time, and the man might come up with the answer, but it's a pity...
"Hey, Zhao Ping, what are you doing? Why did you run so far? Come here, we should go!"
Just when a group of executors were gathering together to think about the problem, not far away, the four Liu Guangshui who had been having a heated discussion earlier had no idea when the wrangling was completed. As the four reached a consensus, Liu Guangshui decided to enter the village and was about to raise his feet. After leaving, he found that the group of new employees were no longer around, but gathered in the distance looking around. Upon seeing this, Liu Guangshui hurriedly greeted him. Seeing Liu Guangshui greeting him, Zhao Ping was forced to interrupt his thinking, and then followed the four of Liu Guangshui and other executors. Behind him, at this point, everyone rushed to the entrance of the village in front.
As mentioned before, because the village is too remote, Qiuye Village is surrounded by mountains and the terrain is complex. Fortunately, there is a slender river passing through the village in the east, so it is the best guarantee of water source. With water source, crops can be irrigated. This allows the villagers to live a self-sufficient life in the mountains. Not only that, because the village is located in a remote mountainous area, there is also a lot of vegetation here. In addition to farmland outside the village, there are also many trees, especially behind the village. There is a large area of dense woods. If the river provides the villagers with water, then the countless trees outside the village also provide the village with a large amount of living materials.
The entire Akiye Village lives an ordinary life that is basically isolated from the rest of the world.
Most of the grains grown in the fields are wheat, and rice is grown in some fields. Looking around, many villagers are working hard in the fields. In addition to adults, some children are also helping with bare feet, and their faces are covered with mud. Water damage.
Walking on this country-style road, Liu Guangshui took the opportunity to tell Zhao Ping and others the results of the original discussion. Yes, after some previous discussions, Liu Guangshui finally made the decision and others agreed, and everyone decided to go to the village to find the villagers. The reason is very good. Although this village is larger than expected, it is extremely backward. There are no hotels for people to live in. If you want to stay in the village, the only way is to find the village chief, and the only way is to find the village first. Only the top leadership can negotiate accommodation matters.
Everyone was talking and laughing along the way, and they were observing the surroundings with admiring eyes. After all, the purpose of their coming here was to travel. Now that they finally came to the village, wouldn't it be nice if they didn't enjoy the pastoral scenery that is not available in the city? A trip in vain? Not only that, because everyone was dressed as city dwellers and all of them had unfamiliar faces, they naturally attracted the attention of the villagers. As everyone passed by, the villagers on the edge of the field raised their heads one after another, looking at them with curiosity as if they were looking at a Western scene. Looking at it, everyone who is accustomed to city life also enjoys this kind of gaze. For a while, many people actually felt a little sense of superiority in their hearts, so much so that Zhou Xiaolan, the most playful one, even took out snacks and candies from her bag, and He ate it like a show off in front of several children.
Those children were just as curious as adults at first.
Onlookers looked on. After all, it was difficult for them to see city people after living in the mountains all year round. Let alone city people. Many of them had never even seen an electric light. However, when they saw a woman among these city people holding a After being presented with food that they had never seen but looked delicious at first glance, the children were still tempted and couldn't help but come closer. Zhou Xiaolan, who was in a playful mood, generously gave some of the snacks to them. The children who received the snacks dispersed with smiles. It is worth mentioning that Xu suffered from an occupational disease. During the walk, Liu Lang and Song Zhi unconsciously took out their cameras, and then they walked and took pictures.
However……
Click, click.
If the nearby villagers were all curious and observing before the two took out their cameras, then after seeing these urbanites taking out their cameras, the villagers' expressions couldn't help but change. Then, except for the group of children who were happily tasting snacks, most of them The villagers left in a hurry, and the few who stayed because of farm work in the fields hurriedly looked away, turning their backs to the camera, as if they were very resistant to taking pictures.
Such an obvious scene was naturally noticed by the executioner. How could the four reporters headed by Liu Guangshui not have a panoramic view of it? Seeing this, Song Zhi put down the camera, then touched his head and said suspiciously: "Huh? What's going on with these villagers? Why did they all leave as soon as they saw us taking pictures?"
"Right? I originally wanted to take more photos of villagers in the countryside." As soon as Song Zhigang opened his mouth, Liu Lang, who was equally puzzled, also echoed.
"I say Xiao Song and Xiao Liu, you two should stop taking pictures. As the saying goes, every place has its own customs. Maybe the people in this village think it's not good to leave their own images in the photos."
Liu Guangshui, the oldest among the people, guessed this. In fact, his guess was not unreasonable. In the early years, many people in rural areas were disgusted with taking pictures, thinking that leaving their own images in the photos was equivalent to leaving their souls behind. Liu Guangshui also based his speculation on this legend.
"Tch! Feudal superstition, what era is this? I didn't expect people in this village to still believe in this? Tsk tsk." Seeing Liu Guangshui's convincing words to dissuade him, Song Zhi curled his lips with disdain, but in fact he and Liu Lang took back the camera. , the reason for taking back the camera is very simple. The reason is not that they don’t want to take pictures anymore, but that people have to lower their heads under the eaves. This is Qiuye Village after all, and it is the territory of those villagers. If some of their actions cause the villagers to be unhappy and thus By driving them out, the gains would outweigh the losses, and they both knew this.
Soon, along this country road, everyone entered the village smoothly. It was not until they entered the village that someone from nearby finally came to talk to them. This was a middle-aged man about 40 years old and wearing a coarse cloth coat. When they came closer, the man frowned slightly. He looked up and down and asked tentatively: "Are you... from the city?"
Some of the executors vaguely noticed something through the middle-aged man's expression and tone. The middle-aged man seemed to have some hostility.
Seeing a villager coming to talk to him, Liu Guangshui, the leader of the team, quickly responded with a smile and nodded: "Haha, this guy is right, we are indeed from the city, tourists who have just come to your village. There are many disturbances in the village. By the way, this is the north end of the village, right? Could you please tell me where the village chief’s home is?”
After that, he took out the cigarette and handed it over.
Editor Liu is worthy of being Editor Liu. He is so sophisticated and his words are very approachable. Not only did he get close to you, but he also wanted to find the village chief through him, but...
After seeing Liu Guangshui admit that they were from the city, for some reason, the man's expression changed! He neither told Liu Guangshui where the village chief's house was nor took the cigarettes handed to him. Instead, he pointed at everyone and said in a bad tone: "You people are indeed reporters! Tell me! How did you learn about that matter!? "
Well?
As soon as these words came out, not only Liu Guangshui, who was handing out a cigarette, was stunned, but everyone in the scene was also confused. Not to mention how the middle-aged man knew their identity as journalists, what was more concerning was the following sentence. Well, that thing? What's the matter? What exactly happened here?
If the four reporters headed by Liu Guangshui were currently in a daze, the executor was suspicious after seeing the man's reaction. After hearing this, almost everyone secretly guessed.
It seems that there is really a problem in this village. What this person said, "Then
Is the incident related to the hanging woman at the entrance of the village? Could this be the clue given by the mission?
The executor thought so, but what happened next was more and more unexpected...
"What? You, what are you talking about?"
As soon as the middle-aged man said this, he was stunned for a moment, and then Liu Guangshui suddenly came back to his senses, waved his hands and defended: "No, no, no, I think you may have misunderstood, brother, what kind of reporters are we? We are just a group of ordinary tourists. Isn’t it the National Day holiday? Don’t worry, we will pay for your visit.”
One detail emerged during the defense, that is, although Liu Guangshui and others were indeed reporters, after the middle-aged man mentioned "that incident", out of a reporter's keen sense of smell, Liu Guangshui quickly turned his eyes and directly He denied his identity as a reporter and at the end, he insisted that they were just a group of ordinary tourists.
It was obvious that just now, Liu Guangshui had an idea in his mind, an idea that seemed to make the newspaper popular with a big news. If the prediction was good, he had already made some plans.
Liu Guangshui had made plans, but unfortunately the middle-aged man did not believe Liu Guangshui's denial. Instead, he pointed at the cameras on several people and sternly refuted: "Nonsense! Let's not talk about our Qiuye Village. It is not a tourist attraction at all. Since no outsiders have come all year round, the things you brought alone are enough to prove that you are journalists. I just heard someone say that you took a lot of photos before entering the village. I advise you to leave quickly. Don’t think that I don’t know. What are your intentions!"
"Haha, misunderstanding, misunderstanding, brother, you don't know much about traveling, right? Most people who travel these days will carry a camera, Xiao Song, do you think that's right?"
"Ah...yes, that's right! Mr. Liu is right. We just chose to take pictures on a whim because we hadn't seen the pastoral scenery for a long time on the way. Just based on this alone, do you think we are reporters? Are you kidding me?"
Liu Guangshui, who had already made a plan in his mind, reacted so quickly? After touching Song Zhi next to him with his arm, the photographer also understood it as fast as lightning, so he followed closely and cooperated.
Liu Guangshui and Liu Guangshui sang in harmony, and although the cooperation was tacit, the middle-aged man who had already preconceived the idea still didn't believe it. Not only did he not believe it, but he was angered by Liu Guangshui's refusal to admit it. When he was emotional and wanted to curse, he stayed behind silently. Tang Meng couldn't stand it anymore. The female doctor came out to the front in front of the crowd, and then said to Liu Guangshui: "Mr. Liu, there is no need to talk nonsense with him. This kind of person is simply unreasonable. Let's go to the village chief's house as soon as possible. .”
Undoubtedly, with Tang Meng's wisdom, she has already guessed Liu Guangshui's true intention of denying his identity as a reporter, but there is a saying that goes well, the more you describe, the darker you get. You can never explain it clearly to someone who insists that you are a thief. , in this case, is it still necessary to argue with it? The important thing is to quickly find the village chief's house. Not only that, through a series of encounters during the period, she also vaguely felt that the village chief Wang's house...may be a key to this mission!
Find the village chief as soon as possible, and then get more clues through the village chief!
"Well, Xiaotang, you are right. This person is really a bit unreasonable. Let's go."
Liu Guangshui is a smart man. Although he does not know Tang Meng's true identity, in the false memory imposed on him by the curse, everyone is his subordinate, whether it is Tang Meng or other executors. Among them, the impression Tang Meng gave him She is a calm and smart woman. He is not the only one who has this impression. Song Zhi, Zhou Xiaolan and Liu Lang next to him also have the same impression. As expected, after listening to the advice of this beautiful subordinate, he has long since not wanted to be with Zhong. Liu Guangshui, who continued to pester the middle-aged man, immediately agreed. Then, under the leadership of Liu Guangshui, everyone ignored the middle-aged man and walked straight forward.
"Hey, stop!" Sure enough, seeing the crowd ignoring him and continuing to move forward, the already annoyed middle-aged man became angrier and wanted to follow and stop him, but as soon as he turned around, a bald man was killed on the shoulder. Hold!
Snapped!
"Oh! Let go, let go quickly...it hurts, it hurts, it hurts!"
Staring at the grinning middle-aged man in front of him, Peng Hu shook his face and grinned: "Brother, I advise you to mind your own business, otherwise the consequences will be serious, very serious!"
Finally, under the threat of Peng Hu's absolutely powerful force, the middle-aged man was forced to compromise.
He completely gave up his plan to stop them. At this moment, seeing the crowd walking further and further away, the middle-aged man first glared at the backs of the crowd with vicious eyes, and finally turned and left with unwillingness.
Five minutes later, the scene shifted to the north of Hongye Village.
Looking at the large private house in front of him, which seemed to be the most magnificent in the village, Liu Guangshui hesitated a little in front of the door. If he went according to the information he first learned from the woman, this house should be that of Village Chief Wang. Home.
Not to mention, although the house of Village Chief Wang’s family is in no way comparable to the high-rise buildings in the city, at least it can be described as grand in the village. The typical large house style is very different from other residential houses.
"Well, the house looks quite big. It's most likely the village chief's house. Xiao Liu, go knock on the door."
Boom, boom, boom!
"Hey! Is anyone there? Is anyone home?"
Seeing the leader speaking, Liu Lang, a subordinate, walked to the door as instructed, and then knocked on the door without any scruples. He knocked on the door and shouted at the same time. The knocking and shouting continued. Soon, there was a sound in the courtyard. There was the sound of footsteps, and after a while, the door was opened by a young girl from the inside.
Similar to the reaction of other villagers, after seeing a group of strange men and women in fashionable clothes standing outside the door, the girl was startled for a moment, then looked confused and asked carefully: "You, who are you?"
The rest of the matter was simple. Since he had already made up his mind, Chen Guangshui went over to negotiate with a smile on his face again and told the young girl everything he wanted to do.
"...Haha, that's what happened. In order to experience the farm style, we tourists from the city wanted to stay in your village for a few days, but there was no hotel in your village, so we came to Village Chief Wang to find a way."
"So that's it. It's really up to my grandpa to solve this matter. Well, then you guys come in and I'll call my grandpa."
The young girl was quite reasonable. After hearing everyone's intentions, the girl let everyone into the yard and hurried into the main room.
"Grandpa! A group of city people are coming outside!"
Two minutes later, in the central hall of this courtyard, everyone, including the executor, finally saw the mayor of Akiye Village.
An ordinary old man with a wrinkled face who looks to be in his early 60s.
"Gentlemen from the city, this old man is Wang Zeqing, the head of this village."
