Opening Six Maids

Chapter 115: The village of the dead

After leaving the village, a few people from Chuci rode forward along the official road.

On both sides of the official road, there are large tracts of farmland. In the farmland, the waves of wheat are undulating, and the scarecrows standing in the wheat fields appear from time to time.

The distance between the village and the village is not far, and in the time of a cup of tea, the people from Chuci have already arrived at the second village to be patrolled.

As usual, he patrolled the streets in the village, took out the demon-seeking compass to explore the aura of the demon, and asked if there was anything unusual in the house.

After finding that there was nothing unusual in the village, several people rode their horses to the next village.

When the moon was in the middle of the sky, a few people from Chuci came to the village farthest from the inner city.

At this hour, the farmers have also gone to bed early, and the village is silent.

The sound of horse hooves was mixed with a bark or two, breaking the silence of the village.

"stop!"

At the head of the village, Li Yuchun raised his hand and motioned to Chuci to stop.

"What's wrong?"

Chuci drove the horse closer and asked aloud.

Li Yuchun tilted her head and signaled Chuci to the right.

When Chuci looked at the situation, he saw a simple straw shed on the right side of the village.

Inside the straw shed, there are three unpainted coffins with logs.

White paper money was scattered on the ground, and a brazier was placed in front of the coffin on the far side, with burnt paper ash inside.

Chuci was stunned and asked, "Are you dead?"

Li Yuchun pondered for a moment, looked at Li Baitian and said, "Take out the demon hunting compass."

Li Baitian nodded and put the demon hunting compass in his hand.

Li Yuchun sandwiched his horse's belly with his legs, and said, "Go into the village and ask what's the situation with the resident."

Chu Ci followed Li Yuchun, secretly raising his vigilance, and sensing whether there was a demon spirit around him.

Several people walked along the streets of the village. After walking for some distance, they saw a flash of fire on the side of the road.

"Cough! Cough!"

At the same time, there was a burst of coughing into Chuci's ears.

When they came closer, the Chuci people could see that it was a gray-haired old man smoking a dry cigarette.

"Ahem..."

It seems that the smoke is too choking, and the old man coughs when he smokes.

"Leader?"

Li Yuchun rode up to the old man and greeted him.

"what!"

Xu Li Yuchun's voice surprised the old man, who suddenly stood up and let out a low voice.

Li Yuchun frowned slightly, and asked again, "What's the surname of the old man? But the chief of this village?"

The old man raised his head and looked at Li Yuchun, only the outline of Li Yuchun's face could be seen vaguely in the dim night.

"Ah, yes!"

The old man hurriedly replied, "Old Zhao Yi, the head of Zhao's Village!"

Riding on horseback, Li Yuchun looked down at Zhao Yi, and asked in a deep voice, "Is there anything unusual in the village recently?"

Zhao Yi put his hands in his sleeves, lowered his head and replied, "My lord, the village has been well recently, and no abnormalities have been found."

Li Yuchun stared at Zhao Yi for a moment, then said in a deep voice, "What's the matter with the coffins at the head of the village?"

"Ah!" Zhao Yi whispered and said, "People who died in the village two days ago, they all converged in the coffin, waiting for the burial tomorrow morning."

Li Yuchun frowned and shouted, "Then why did you just say that the village is well and you haven't found any abnormalities? But it's deliberately expiring?!"

"this···"

Zhao Yi looked up at Li Yuchun, and explained, "My lord, don't get me wrong, the old man doesn't mean to hide it."

"It was an adult who came here to watch the night yesterday, and the old man has already notified it."

Li Yuchun heard this and said in a deep voice, "If you have this matter in the future, as long as there is a night watcher who asks it, you must report it, you know?"

Zhao Yi shook his body, wrapped his clothes around and said, "My lord, the old man knows."

"Yeah." Li Yuchun nodded slightly, and said in a soft tone, "The dew is heavy in the middle of the night, so let's go back to rest."

Zhao Yi pulled his hand out of his sleeve and said, "The old man respectfully sends a few adults."

Li Yuchun pulled the reins, looked at the people in Chuci and said, "Okay, let's go back."

Chuci, Li Baitian, and the three nodded their heads on the weekend, and turned around and walked out of the village.

Zhao Yi raised his head and watched the people of Chuci go away, drew the dry cigarette from his sleeve and held it in his mouth.

Click! Click!

Zhao Yi held the flint in both hands and beat it tremblingly, which ignited the tobacco in the pot.

"Suck···"

"Ahem..."

Zhao Yi held the cigarette holder in his mouth, took a deep breath, and then coughed deeply.

"Hey···"

With a deep sigh, Zhao Yi turned around and walked towards the dark and silent village.

clatter! clatter!

The sound of horseshoes sounded.

When Chuci rode past the village, he subconsciously glanced at the shed on the right side of the village.

A gust of wind blows up a few pieces of white paper money on the ground and falls into the brazier in front of the coffin.

Chuci's arm subconsciously tightened the reins of the rare horse.

The three of Li Yuchun rode for a few steps, only to find that Chu Ci had not followed.

Driving the Linjiao horse to the front of Chuci, Li Yuchun asked aloud, "Chuci, why don't you leave?"

Chu Ci raised his hand to the Ling Peng and said, "Group leader, look at this Ling Peng, do you find anything unusual?"

Li Yuchun, Li Baitian, and the three of them looked at the Ling Peng upon hearing this, wanting to see what was unusual.

After a while, Li Baitian first said, "I didn't see anything abnormal? Isn't it all like this in Lingpeng?"

Nodded at the weekend and said, "I don't know why, I'm not afraid of dead people, but this shed looks weird and scary."

Looking at Chuci, he shuddered over the weekend and said, "Chuci, let's go, it's weird here."

"and many more!"

Li Yuchun stared at the direction of Ling Peng, his face changed slightly, "I see, the time is wrong!"

Li Baitian and the weekend duo were all startled, and asked in confusion, "Group leader, what time is wrong?"

Li Yuchun smiled bitterly and shook his head, and said, "If I remind myself from time to time, I haven't noticed it either."

"Let Chu Ci speak."
