When Pei Wende spent a whole day visiting all the farmland.
He finally officially determined that the "curse" of good harvests existed throughout Toyota Village.
All the land cultivated by the residents of Toyota Village, whether it is for agricultural use or not, has this strange situation of "always abundant harvest".
Pei Wende was not sure whether this was the influence of the "blood of ghosts and gods" that Linglong mentioned.
The only thing he was certain of was that the reason why the villagers of Toyota Village were gradually isolated from the outside world was not due to their subjective wishes.
There seems to be an inexplicable force on the land of Toyota Village, which limits all the strange phenomena that occur here.
This power is not a formation or a barrier, but something more mysterious and unpredictable.
According to Pei Wende's understanding, the situation here seems to be somewhat similar to the "method of luck" that Qingnang Sect is good at.
"The most important thing is that this force does not seem to have any ill intentions towards outsiders."
Standing at the entrance of Toyota Village, Pei Wende tentatively wanted to leave the village, but as expected, he easily left the scope of Toyota Village.
"The villagers of Toyota Village are imprisoned here, but they have no ill intentions towards outsiders..."
"Is this really the curse of the mountain ghost?!"
In Toyota Village, every household worships a mountain ghost. Xiaoqing can't imagine what happened here to make the former mountain god hate the villagers here so much.
"Rather than confinement, why do I feel like this is more like protection?"
Looking in the direction outside the village, Pei Wende could feel that as the sun set, there was an aura full of anger and hatred brewing.
It's a pity that even though Pei Wende opened his eyes, he still couldn't understand the source of the aura.
This feeling between existence and non-being, between falseness and reality, is exactly the same as the "harvest curse".
On the one hand, the villagers were imprisoned in Toyota Village, making them suffer a curse that they would never be able to escape.
On the other hand, it drives away evil spirits from the outside world and protects them from harm from the outside world.
If these are the actions of the same being, then this contradictory approach is simply incredible.
"Is something outside...the source of the 'Harvest Curse'?"
Also aware of the atmosphere full of anger and resentment from the outside world, Xiao Qing asked with some uncertainty.
Because although the aura in the outside world is strange, it is not as strong as imagined.
Not to mention a curse with such a wide range of influence, Xiao Qing even felt that the opponent might not be as scary as some soldiers who had experienced the battlefield.
"I don't know whether it was the curse or not."
"But its resentment and anger are unquestionable..."
Pei Wende has no doubt that once that thing breaks into Toyota Village, the villagers here will definitely suffer the cruelest revenge in the world.
"Eh? Are you not going to continue looking for that thing?"
Seeing Pei Wende decisively turn around and return to Toyota Village, Xiaoqing suddenly asked with a surprised look on his face.
With Pei Wende's character, even though he knew that there was a strange demon spying on Toyota Village from the outside world, he didn't even think of looking for him. Isn't this a bit strange?
"That kind of stuff doesn't matter at all."
After a slight pause on his feet, Pei Wende explained softly without looking back.
"I have found most of the answers to the puzzle, and now I only have one most important question left that has not been confirmed."
"Now that I'm back at Zhang Zhiqiang's house, I may be able to answer the last question in my mind."
…………………………………………………………………………………………………………
The time went back half an hour ago, when Zhang Zhiqiang returned home after a busy day.
As a standard farmer who works at sunrise and rests at sunset, Zhang Zhiqiang spends almost every day like this.
After all, other people in the village still have their wives, daughters, and family members with them, but Zhang Zhiqiang, a bachelor, is not so lucky.
In fact, since Toyota Village began to close down, there have been more and more bachelors like Zhang Zhiqiang.
Zhang Zhiqiang didn't care at all about this.
After all, you can't force this kind of thing. It will happen naturally when fate comes. If fate doesn't come, no matter how hard you force it, it's useless.
Therefore, Zhang Zhiqiang, who rarely had anyone at home, decided to cook a meal and entertain the three outsiders.
Faced with Zhang Zhiqiang's kindness, although Ku Chan remained silent, the giant human-faced bear patted his chest and held on.
Thanks to the cover of Ku Chan and the giant human-faced bear, Zhang Zhiqiang did not notice anything unusual about Pei Wende's fake body.
It wasn't until Pei Wende returned in person and looked at the smoke rising from the hair room on one side that he realized that Zhang Zhiqiang planned to entertain the three of them.
"So, that idiot is now working for Zhang Zhiqiang?"
Sitting on the fake body with a strange look on his face, Pei Wende couldn't help but ask Ku Chan beside him.
"Yes, and for a while."
After bowing respectfully to Pei Wende, Ku Chan replied seriously.
"When he knew that there was something strange in this village, he actually planned to stay here to eat?"
No wonder Pei Wende was so surprised, the behavior of the giant human-faced bear was really too weird.
If he were a normal person, let alone taking the initiative to attack Zhang Zhiqiang, he would be considered a courageous type without running away on the spot.
Even ordinary monsters would never be as reassuring as the giant human-faced bear.
For example, Ku Chan, who is maintaining a high degree of vigilance at this moment, is how a normal intelligent creature should behave.
On the other hand, that idiot seemed not to have cared about the strange situation in Toyota Village from beginning to end.
"So it is the demon king of Xian Mountain, and I am just an inexperienced traveler."
As if he saw Pei Wende's inner thoughts, Ku Chan calmly explained.
"It has enough mind and is willing to accept all unnatural things. This is a characteristic that we, the solitary monsters, do not have."
I have to admit that Ku Chan’s statement does make sense.
At the very least, the seemingly reckless behavior of the giant human-faced bear is indeed enough to calm the inner uneasiness and fear of those around him.
"Haha! The food is served, the food is served!"
While Pei Wende was communicating with Ku Chan, the giant human-faced bear and Zhang Zhiqiang finally prepared today's dinner.
"I'll let you try my craft today!"
"You know, I'm a famous chef in our area!"
I heard the giant human-faced bear laughing as he walked out of the simple wool room, holding two not-so-pretty dishes in his hands.
The two bowls contained a bowl of chicken soup and a plate of dog meat respectively, which had a mouth-watering visual impact.
Behind the giant bear with a human face, Zhang Zhiqiang followed step by step, carrying a bucket of rice.
