"You know us?"

I frowned tightly. I don't know why, but this person's tone made me very unhappy.

"Aren't you here to help the poor?"

The old man rolled his eyes at us and said, "I know, you still have to let me cooperate with you in shooting something. As long as you give me money, I can say anything."

"I think you may have misunderstood." I looked at the old man and said calmly: "We are not here to give you money, and where are the other people in your village?"

Upon hearing that we were not here to give him money, the old man suddenly lost interest and turned over and lay on the bed again, "How do I know where others are!"

I finally understand. If you want to ask something from this kind of person, you can't do it without drawing some blood.

Thinking of this, I took out a big red bill from my wallet and said, "Can you tell me now?"

After taking the money, the expression on the old man's face improved a little, "What did you ask just now?"

"I said where are the rest of the village now?"

The old man thought for a while and said, "There are not many people in the village now. Those who can afford it have moved out. Only the old, weak, sick and disabled like me are left lying at home with no one to care about."

"Move out?" I frowned slightly, "Didn't you say that there is no use in moving out?"

"Then I don't know where to go!" The old man said indifferently at first, and then he reacted immediately and stared at me, "Are you here to investigate that matter?"

"Yes." I nodded to the old man, "Is there any clue you want to tell me?"

"Huh, no!"

Unexpectedly, the old man's attitude suddenly made a 180-degree turn, "It's best if all the people in the village are dead. I don't care whether they live or die."

I pursed my lips and said nothing. It seemed that the old man in front of me had a lot of resentment towards other people in the village. Could his shadow be behind the deaths of the villagers?

Seeing that I couldn't find any useful information at the moment, I thought about it and said, "In that case, I won't bother you anymore."

After saying that, he took Xiaomeng and walked out.

When she walked out of the room, Xiao Meng said angrily: "A hundred yuan to ask such a question?"

"And he didn't answer the second question at all. I think giving him ten dollars is enough. Do you need me to go get it back from you?"

I shook my head, "Forget it, let's make a good relationship."

Xiao Meng was still a little dissatisfied, but after thinking about it, she didn't say anything. She just muttered in a low voice: "It really gave him an advantage!"

I smiled and said nothing. Xiaomeng was good at everything, but he took money too seriously.

"Let's go, let's see if anyone is home."

I walked straight towards a house next to me, and when I took a few glances just now, I seemed to see a figure looking at me secretly.

"Is anyone home?"

Standing outside the doorless house, I shouted loudly into the house;

No one answered.

I frowned tightly. I clearly saw that figure entering the house just now. Why was there no sound?

I shouted a few more times in disbelief, and finally, a somewhat anxious voice said to me softly: "Don't shout, what if you disturb the immortal?"

I followed the voice and saw an old man with gray hair and a face full of grooves. He waved his hand vigorously to me through the crack in the door, "Come in."

As soon as he walked in, the old man asked unceremoniously, "Are you here because of the death in the village?"

Now that I'm here, I don't want to hide it. After hearing the old man's words, I nodded slowly, "Yes, that's why I'm here."

The old man sighed slightly and said, "Young students, listen to my advice. This matter is beyond your control. Leave now while the immortal is not angry yet."

I heard this word just now, and I looked at the old man, "Uncle, what is that great immortal?"

"Shut up!" The old man's face suddenly changed. He ignored the presence of the two of us and knelt down directly in front of a portrait in the room. "Children's words may be spoken without meaning. Don't blame the immortals. Don't blame the immortals."

After muttering a few words in succession, the old man finally stood up, with a warm and angry expression on his face, "There is no room for two of you in my small temple, please leave quickly."

"Uncle, don't be angry. I just made an unintentional mistake." I nodded and bowed to the old man and apologized repeatedly, which finally made the old man look a little better.

Looking at the two of us, the old man thought for a moment, and then sighed quietly, "The Great Immortal is the patron saint invited by our village when there was a drought more than ten years ago. In the following few years since we were invited, the weather will be smooth."

"But I didn't expect that the young man, who had been working outside for several years and didn't know who to believe, believed someone's rumor that the great immortal in the village was unlucky. He secretly built an ancestral hall while the villagers were not paying attention."

"It happens to be built on the seven inches of the Great Immortal, so do you think the Great Immortal will not be angry? Two people die in a month. This is the Great Immortal warning us!"

"The Great Immortal is Liu Immortal?"

I opened my eyes wide. The old man kept talking about the great immortals. I didn't have any idea. Now that I heard the word Qicun, I finally realized it.

There are five great immortals in the Northeast, namely Hu, Liu, Huang, Gray and Bai.

Liu Xian is the snake fairy. Only snakes have the word seven inches.

The three most common offerings in the Northeast are the yellow, willow and fox immortals, and each family enshrines their own. It is rare to say that a village enshrines the same immortal.

"That's right, it's Mang (Liu) Xian." The old man nodded with a solemn expression.

I became more interested and said, "You just said that the ancestral hall you built is on Liu Xian's Qicun. How did you know? Did Liu Xian give it to you in a dream?"

The old man hesitated for a moment, then said in a somewhat arrogant tone: "Don't worry about how I know it, I just know it anyway."

"Okay, okay, what else do you know besides this?"

The old man rolled his eyes, "I also know that if we don't calm down the great immortal's anger, this village will definitely be devastated by then."

I continued calmly: "You are from this village too, haven't you thought of something?"

"I thought about it, why didn't I think about it!" When he mentioned this, the old man got angry, "But no one listens to me. If they had listened to me and demolished that ancestral hall, wouldn't there be so many bad things?

Yet?"

I glanced at Xiao Meng and saw that she was looking at me with a look on her face that was about to speak but was hesitant.

I thought about it and said to the old man: "Okay, uncle, you have a good rest and we won't disturb you."

"Hey, you guys..." The old man's face showed a hint of confusion, and then he sighed, "Looking at your looks, I know you didn't take what I said to heart."

"Forget it, I can't control what you young people are thinking now, but remember, you must not show disrespect to Mang Xian, even if you think about it in your heart!"

"Don't worry, uncle, we know what to do and what not to do." I comforted the old man with a smile. No matter what, the old man didn't have any bad intentions. Following his words can make the old man feel at ease. Why not?

Not for that reason.

After leaving the old man's home, I looked at Xiao Meng, "What did you want to say just now?"

Xiaomeng looked at me and said seriously: "What the old man said is wrong!"

"Which aspect are you referring to?"

"Everything is wrong!" Xiao Meng said calmly: "There is no Liuxian here at all! As for the rest of the seven inches he said, it is even more nonsense."

I pursed my lips and said, "Whether Brother Hu said it was a feng shui problem or the old man said Qicun, it is inseparable from that ancestral hall. So I think we should go to that ancestral hall and have a look now. Maybe we can find out something."

Xiao Meng thought for a while and did not refuse. He said excitedly: "That's just right. It's finally my turn to play. I'll let you see what I'm capable of."

"I'll wait and see." I looked at Xiaomeng with a smile, "It would be better if it could be solved at once."

"I hope so." Xiaomeng shrugged, not having high expectations.

When I arrived at the ancestral hall, I was surprised to find that there were still people here.

I originally thought that this village had become a "dead city", but I didn't expect that I could still meet people here.

Hearing the sound, the woman kneeling in front of the ancestral hall slowly raised her head. The first time I saw her, to be honest, I was shocked.

What kind of face is that? It is full of bumps and bumps, and is covered with red bumps, and the bumps are slightly white.

She looked like a toad. For a girl, this might be a more terrifying punishment than death.

The girl's voice was unexpectedly pleasant, "Who are you? What are you doing here?"

Hearing this, I raised my eyebrows and no longer thought about the woman's appearance. Instead, I pretended to be fine and said, "We came to the village specifically to investigate the deaths of an old man and a young man every month."

"So it's you." The girl nodded and said softly: "Two people have already died in front of you, how dare you come here."

"No way, it's all for work." I smiled, "I don't know what to call the girl?"

"Just call me Chou Niang."

"Ugly girl..." I chewed the name twice in my mouth. I don't know who named her. This name is the most vicious curse for a girl who is not considered beautiful.

It is also the deepest ridicule.

"Then what are you doing kneeling here?" I knelt down and looked straight at her, without a trace of disdain in my eyes, "Where are your adults?"

As if she didn't want her face to be exposed to my sight, Chou Niang immediately lowered her head. After a while, she said timidly: "I am the only one in my house..."

I took a deep breath and pulled her, "Stop kneeling, stand up!"

After hearing Chou Niang say that there was no one at home, and because she was kneeling here, my first reaction was that she was forced, maybe the ignorant villagers were trying to get the so-called Liu Xian's forgiveness through her!

Unexpectedly, Chou Niang shook her head at me, "No, I want to stay here. Only in this way can everyone survive."

"Who told you that kneeling here can prevent everyone from dying?" Looking at the stubborn look in the ugly girl's eyes, I just felt weird.

Then it was a bit ridiculous. The girl in front of me gave me the feeling of combing her hair like an adult and pretending to be an adult.
