Chapter 1995 There is no living person
He didn't answer and walked hesitantly to the Taoist priest.
"Master, look at this..."
After he finished speaking, the Taoist priest suddenly shook his head.
"There is no one left alive in the entire village."
His sudden words startled everyone. Wan Shufang widened her eyes and subconsciously retorted: "How is it possible? They are clearly breathing and can move freely during the day."
After that, Chen Changli and Wan Shufang looked serious, and when they spoke again, their tone was somewhat sarcastic: "Stop talking nonsense here and playing tricks."
Seeing that the two did not believe him, the Taoist priest did not rush to explain himself or clear his name. Instead, he showed an incomprehensible smile: "It doesn't matter if you don't believe me. You will know it later."
"I think this lady has a connection with me, so I want to tell her fortune. But I want a reward. I'll give her fifty taels of silver. It's worth it."
As soon as these words came out, Wan Shufang felt a little annoyed, and glared at him coldly: "That's not necessary, Master, you should tell me your fortune first to see if your judgment is correct."
"Otherwise, you will be laughed at and the Qin family will not be able to keep their reward."
Facing the Taoist priest who was pretending to be a ghost, Wan Shufang didn't want to give him a good face at all, and spoke to him mercilessly, and the atmosphere became awkward in an instant.
Feeling the somewhat solemn atmosphere, Mr. Qin was worried that something might be disclosed, so he quickly intervened, changed the subject, and led a few people to the ancestral tomb.
When they arrived at the Qin family's ancestral tomb, the Taoist priest completely changed his previous calm and composed appearance. He became mysterious and muttered to himself, frowning and gritting his teeth.
"how so…"
"It seems a bit difficult. There are also problems here..."
"Master Qin, the Qin family's matter is very troublesome. We need to perform a three-day ritual to eliminate the evil spirits. However, the reward will have to be increased."
After hearing the Taoist's words, and his embarrassed and solemn expression, Mr. Qin completely panicked and agreed without thinking.
"Okay, okay, thank you very much. As long as you can solve the Qin family's troubles, my Qin family is willing to give you more rewards."
After getting a satisfactory answer, the Taoist secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and a dark light flashed across his eyes. He was bluffing in this way just to blackmail the Qin family again.
Wan Shufang had been keeping an eye on the Taoist priest, so she naturally did not miss his expression. She sneered, but she didn't say much.
This village looks normal, but in fact it always gives people a weird feeling. She also wanted to stay and investigate, so she didn't expose the Taoist's little tricks.
After making the decision, the group stayed at the home of the newly appointed village chief that night. Before leaving, the Taoist priest repeatedly gave everyone instructions.
"Everyone, if you want to be healthy, you must not go out at midnight, remember."
"Okay, we'll all listen to the expert." Old Master Qin agreed immediately, and everyone in the Qin family nodded to show that they understood. Only Chen Changli and Wan Shufang did not express their opinions.
After everyone had left, Wan Shufang curled her lips, her eyes slightly dissatisfied: "This Taoist priest plays tricks all day long, I really can't stand him."
"I don't believe in the saying that you can't go out at midnight. But, Changli, I think there's something wrong with Penghu Village."
From the moment she entered the village, Wan Shufang felt something was wrong, but she couldn't tell what was wrong. Chen Changli also noticed this. He held Wan Shufang's hand tightly and led her to the bed.
"It's okay. I'm here. No one will hurt you. Shufang, you've been traveling for several days and didn't sleep well last night. The most important thing now is to rest."
"Next, there may be a fierce battle."
After he finished speaking, he had carefully taken off her shoes and socks, and then brought water for her to wash her feet.
In ancient times, men would never do these things for their wives, but Chen Changli did it for her many times. Thinking of this, Wan Shufang couldn't help feeling sweet in her heart.
"Chen Changli, why are you so nice to me?"
"It's not good. You are my wife, and what I did was normal. Besides, Shufang, I still feel guilty that I haven't been able to accompany you properly all this time..."
Seeing that he was blaming himself again, Wan Shufang interrupted him and held his face with both hands: "Aren't you here to accompany me now, Chen Changli, I like you very much."
Chen Changli raised his head, his eyes full of affection. Their eyes met. The hot love in his eyes made Wan Shufang unable to help laughing. He soaked his big hands in the water, carefully washed her feet, and then took the towel to wipe them dry.
"I'd love to do that for you, ma'am."
He carried the person to the bed, then went out to wash up. He soon came back, lay down on the bed, and fell asleep peacefully while holding Wan Shufang in his arms.
Perhaps they were really tired, and soon they both fell asleep.
Late at night, Wan Shufang was sleeping soundly when she suddenly heard a noise outside. She frowned, but did not open her eyes and continued trying to fall asleep.
But the noise outside never stopped, it was the sound of miserable crying.
"Crying!" Wan Shufang suddenly had an idea and looked out the window. The window was closed and she could not see anything.
She could only get out of bed quietly, look for the direction of the sound, carefully push the window open a little bit, and look out through the crack.
When she saw the scene outside clearly, Wan Shufang's pupils suddenly shrank and fear appeared in her eyes.
"How is this possible..." She covered her mouth, not daring to make a sound at all.
I saw a graceful woman dancing and crying. She was wearing white clothes and had long hair. As the breeze blew, the woman's long hair fluttered in the air.
Such a strange scene made Wan Shufang stand there in a daze, and she lost all ability to move for a moment.
But suddenly, the woman turned around and met Wan Shufang's eyes. Before Wan Shufang could react, the white figure disappeared in the next second.
"What's going on? Where did she go?" Wan Shufang was confused and looked around for the woman, even opening the window a little wider.
But no matter how hard she looked, she couldn't find the woman. Before Wan Shufang could recover from the shock, someone knocked on the door.
Wan Shufang was startled and took a few steps back. She calmed herself down, went to open the door, and saw that it was the village chief's granddaughter. The little girl cried and hugged Wan Shufang's legs.
"My mother killed my brother, please save me!" The little girl's voice was hoarse, and she had obviously been crying for a long time. Her hands were shaking as she hugged Wan Shufang.
This sentence made Wan Shufang feel flustered. She lowered her head and saw blood and flesh between the little girl's fingernails. She immediately realized that something was wrong.
The little girl started crying and begging again, and this time, she even wanted to pull Wan Shufang out.
"Sister, please save me. Mom is crazy. She killed my brother and wants to kill me too, sister." The little girl pulled Wan Shufang's hand hard, as if she was eager to pull her out. Unfortunately, she didn't have enough strength, and after pulling for a long time, Wan Shufang didn't move.
He just looked at the little girl quietly and said softly: "It's too late, let's go tomorrow."
"No sister, you are the only one who can save me."
