Chapter 448: Possessed? There is a ghost in the village
"Yes, this story started five years ago. At that time, our village was as normal as other places. The villagers worked from sunrise to sunset. Although they were poor, they lived a simple life. They relied on the skills of selling wine passed down from their ancestors to make some money, and lived a good life.
But that night, something suddenly broke the tranquility of the village. Huang Si from the village came back from drinking and saw a few people in the village. He thought someone couldn't sleep and came out for a walk. He ran up to take a look and found that they were all villagers in the village. However, they had strange postures and dull eyes, as if they were unconscious. No matter how he called them, they didn't respond. What's worse, some of them even grabbed dirt from the ground and stuffed it into their mouths. Huang Da Gou was so scared that he ran home in a panic.
The next day, he told the villagers about this. The villagers thought he was drunk and had hallucinations and did not believe what he said. Huang Si liked to brag and boast on weekdays, so naturally few people believed what he said.
He said that the people he saw were all from the village. The villagers went to ask those people, and they said that they were sleeping well at home at night, so why did they run out? !
This further proved that what Huang Si said was false. The villagers didn't take it seriously. Even Huang Si suspected that he might have seen it wrong. Was he really drunk?
But within two days, someone saw villagers wandering outside again, and some villagers died in the river, so everyone had to believe it.
It was a big deal that someone had died, so as the village chief, I began to take it seriously. At first we reported it to the police, but after the government officials came, they confirmed that the man had no other wounds on his body and had died of drowning. After hearing about what happened in the village, they sent people to investigate. At night, just as the villagers had said, many strange figures appeared, which scared the officials away. From then on, the government officials were unwilling to come over.
For a time, the villagers were in a panic, and everyone said that there was a ghost in the village. For this reason, the village specially invited a wizard to come. The wizard said that our village was invaded by evil ghosts. He performed a ritual for three days and three nights, but the wizard also saw it with his own eyes and heard the whimpering and screaming of children, and he was also scared to death. Moreover, more and more strange things happened in the village, and people had accidents one after another. More than a dozen villagers have died in the past five years.
Some women in the village said that their men would suddenly get up in the middle of the night and would not respond no matter how they called them, just like a puppet. They would open the door and go out by themselves, and come back in the second half of the night. Some women also said that their men would suddenly find themselves sleeping in the ground, and some even found themselves waking up in a cemetery and were scared to death.
Since then, more and more villagers have begun to show this symptom one after another. They go out uncontrollably at night, and act as if nothing happened during the day, and don’t remember what happened at night at all.
When this incident spread, people from nearby areas were afraid to come to our village. They all said that the people in our village had offended Wong Tai Sin, so he was punishing us. Some also said that it was an evil ghost demanding their lives.
For a while, people were in a panic. No one in the village dared to go out at night. There were less than a hundred people left in the originally huge village. Those with better conditions moved away, and those with worse conditions could only stay in the village and lock their doors at night. Sigh... What a sin..." The village chief sighed and told them to lock their doors at night.
"Could he be sick?" Yao Qing wondered, maybe he was poisoned or infected with some disease.
"We once suspected it, but we asked a doctor to check on the villagers, and the doctor said that they were all in good health." The village chief and his colleagues had thought of this possibility, but the doctor said no, so they had to suspect that they were possessed by evil spirits.
Yao Qingnian then asked, "Village Chief, before these things happened in the village five years ago, did anything else unusual happen in the village?"
The village chief thought for a while, shook his head and said, "No, our village is small. If something big happens, or if someone from outside comes, every household will know everything."
"That's strange..." They chatted for a while.
Seeing that it was getting late, the village chief's wife got up to clean up the dishes.
"Okay, it's getting late, you guys should go to bed! Don't go out at night to avoid being scared. Also, no matter what noise you hear, don't open the door."
After packing up their things, the village chief and his wife hurried back to their room, turned off the lights and went to sleep.
Yao Qingnian went out and sat in the yard to digest her meal. It was too early and she couldn't sleep. She had just eaten and felt uncomfortable. At this time, Zi Yexiu also sat next to her: "Why don't you go back to your room? Aren't you afraid?"
"What is there to be afraid of? Aren't your people outside?"
"You know it very well."
"Isn't it obvious? There's one on the tree on the left, one at the base of the wall outside the yard, and one on the roof on the right." Yao Qingnian casually exposed their positions, and a slight rustling sound came from the tree.
Zi Yexiu suddenly came close to her, and the mask enlarged in front of her. Yao Qingnian suddenly felt an inexplicable sense of familiarity, a sense of déjà vu. She was stunned and thought that the man was going to do something bad to her. She stretched out her hand to attack him, but her hand was held by the man's big hand. Then he leaned close to her ear and whispered, "Knowing too much is not a good thing."
"What are you talking about? I don't know anything. Oh, I'm so sleepy! I'm going to go back to sleep." Yao Qingnian pushed him away, yawned, and ran away. Was she being teased? She suddenly remembered that in the Princess's Mansion, this man said that he had a crush on her. Tsk, tsk, it was terrible.
Looking at her fleeing back, Zi Yexiu's mouth curled up slightly.
After returning to the room, Yao Qingnian thought about what had just happened. She tossed and turned in bed, unable to fall asleep. Her mind was full of the masked face. After she finally fell asleep, she was woken up by a knock on the door. Yao Qingnian simply got up, opened the door and walked out.
When he came out, he saw Zi Yexiu in the yard, and there was a man kneeling in front of him: "Master, there are people outside, how to deal with it?"
"killed."
"Yes!"
"Hey! You big devil, you let the killing happen without even asking who it was. What if it was a villager!" Yao Qingnian rolled his eyes when he heard him order the servants to kill people without any explanation. At least he should know whether the other party is an enemy or a friend! Killing innocent people indiscriminately in the village, the people of Ziye Pavilion are really cruel and ruthless.
"Who?" After hearing her say that, Zi Ye Xiu continued to hum softly.
"Looks like they are villagers." the man replied.
"Go out and take a look." Zi Yexiu's cold voice sounded, and he turned his head to look at Yao Qingnian who came out: "Did I disturb you?"
"I can't sleep. I'll go out with you to take a look." Worried that this guy would really kill innocent people, Yao Qingnian followed him.
"Yeah." Zi Ye Xiu did not refuse and walked outside.
