This Simplification Is Too Outrageous

The sky has been grey and cloudy.

After a while, Qiao Yuan came to the entrance of the village.

Compared with the prosperity of Sijiao Village in the real world, this village is more like a village in a poor area.

Just like the village several decades ago, there are streets made of blue bricks and tiles, with low bungalows on both sides, one next to the other.

Seemingly broken, but it gives people a quiet and peaceful feeling.

There are two trees at the entrance of the village, one is a jujube tree and the other is a jujube tree.

A small wooden pavilion was erected next to it, with a stone table in the middle. It seemed that it was a place for the villagers to rest and enjoy the shade. At this moment, an old man was standing inside.

However, Qiao Yuan's attention was focused on the human-like statue behind the pavilion.

Different from those works of art in Qiao Yuan's memory.

The shape of this sculpture is quite strange, the face is blurred, it looks like a man and a woman, holding a lantern in his hand, full of mystery, and can't be described in words for a while.

…

"Brother in front, wait a minute!"

A voice came from behind.

A group of people in casual travel clothes were approaching Qiao Yuan, including men and women, adults and children.

It looks like a tourist.

Qiao Yuan stopped and waited.

Upon seeing this, the young man who greeted Qiao Yuan quickly came to Qiao Yuan, gasped with his hips on his back, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and looked at the quiet fields around him. Perhaps he regarded Qiao Yuan as a local resident, so he asked here. Case.

"Brother, ask a question, is this Sijiao Village?

"We out-of-towners, the first time we came here, seem to have lost our way."

Qiao Yuan carefully looked at the panting young man in front of him.

It can be seen that it is a very typical puffy physique.

After a brief understanding, Qiao Yuan learned the information of this group of eight people. They had just met each other. They all chose to take a detour to avoid tickets or pursue novelty, and then... chose a big road, so they came here. got here.

…

"Not to mention, the air in the countryside is good, much better than in our city. When I save enough money, I will definitely go back to the countryside to retire!"

"That's right, wait and see if I can buy some souvenirs."

"Wow, this place is so beautiful, I want to take a picture!"

"Li Si, hurry up... take a few more pictures for me!"

There were constant discussions in the crowd. The most attractive thing was that a young and beautiful girl with a ponytail saw this green field. She was quite happy and shouted for her boyfriend to take pictures of him.

The taller boyfriend beside him could only reluctantly agree.

None of these people seem to realize the seriousness of the problem.

"Sorry, I don't know."

Qiao Yuan spoke slowly.

…

The behavior of Qiao Yuan and others obviously out of tune with the village finally attracted the old man in the pavilion.

I saw the old man come out, with a kind smile on his face, before the crowd.

"Welcome to Dead End Village!"

Qiao Yuan stared at the old man in his fifties or sixties. The old man's accent was a bit serious, and for a while Qiao Yuan couldn't tell whether he was talking about four or dead.

"Old man, is this Sijiao Village?"

The young man who greeted Qiao Yuan before came to the old man again and asked.

The old man stroked his beard and replied with a smile, "Yes."

"Then which corner is this, why didn't I see it in the photo?" the man asked suspiciously.

The smile on the old man's face grew brighter.

…

Sijiao Village is divided into new village and old village.

The old village is where the local residents live. However, due to the rapid development of the new village in recent years, most of the young people in the village have gone outside.

In this old village, only some old people and women are left, living a simple and simple rural life.

Hearing the old man's words, everyone came to the spirit. I didn't expect that Sijiao Village still has such a history. This trip is really not in vain.

Then, the old man claimed to be the mayor of Sijiao Village and invited everyone to the village as a guest.

Everyone said that they were disturbing, but looking at the sky, they followed up honestly, including Qiao Yuan.

Along the way, these tourists talked and laughed, and asked about some related things in the village.

A few more people said jokingly that they wanted to settle here when they got old.

The old man explained enthusiastically, and led Qiao Yuan and other nine people into the village. Soon, some enthusiastic villagers gathered around, asking for warmth and giving drinks and fruits.

It made all the tourists feel embarrassed for a while. The villagers here are really simple, and the tourists are ready to pay in return.

But they were all rejected by these villagers. In their words, these are their own properties and are not worth a lot of money.

For a while, tourists who are accustomed to living in the city could not help but sigh, there are really good people in this world.

Then the village chief discussed it with the villagers, and asked nine people to live in nine families. The villagers, who were really too enthusiastic, had to agree to the arrangement of the village chief.

Qiao Yuan originally planned to stabilize first, and then slowly inquire until he saw a figure.

That is... Wang Jing!

…

Qiao Yuan couldn't see it wrong. Although they had only met once, the baby face that made people want to pinch it was clearly recognizable.

Qiao Yuan bypassed the crowd and quickly came to Wang Jing. At this time, Wang Jing finally found Qiao Yuan, which seemed a little surprised.

"Qiao Yuan, why are you here?"

It can be seen that Wang Jing is quite happy, it does not look like he is in danger or kidnapped by threats.

Qiao Yuan turned to look at the villagers who were communicating with the group of tourists again, and could see that these simple villagers had happy smiles on their faces.

This kind of thing can't be loaded!

Qiao Yuan even had an illusion, I'm afraid that his own son is here.

Put this matter aside for now and ask Li Xiaoling's whereabouts first.

"Wang Jing, where is Li Xiaoling, where is it?"

Hearing Qiao Yuan's words, Wang Jing tilted her head with a puzzled expression.

"I don't know, I'm not with her, what are you doing with her?"

Qiao Yuan: "..."

"Are you sure you're not kidding me?"

Qiao Yuan stared at Wang Jing, trying to analyze lying from her micro-expression, but unfortunately he failed.

After pondering for a minute, Qiao Yuan continued to ask, "Do you know Li Xiaoling?"

There is a hint of suspicion in his tone, because he suspects that the Wang Jing in front of him is fake, and it makes sense to explain this way.

"I know, my best friend, when we had a blind date last time... you even grabbed her hand."

Wang Jing was still a little puzzled and did not understand the meaning of Qiao Yuan's words.

After a simple exchange, Wang Jing said that after the blind date ended yesterday afternoon, she temporarily separated from Li Xiaoling, came here alone, and lived here for one night.

"Let me tell you, it's really comfortable to stay in this countryside, and the fruits here are so delicious..."

Wang Jing excitedly began to explain the situation of the village to Qiao Yuan.

However, Qiao Yuan's mind was not here for the time being, there must be something wrong with this Wang Jing.

Since Li Xiaoling sent himself the words "Dead Corner Village", its disappearance must be related to this village.

With Li Xiaoling's urine, it must be with Wang Jing!

Qiao Yuan immediately decided to stay here for one night.

"The village chief, I want to change the room, I will live with her!"

After thinking for a while, Qiao Yuan said this sentence, he didn't know the purpose of the village chief separating the nine people, so he wanted to try it out.

The village chief who was talking to the crowd was obviously stunned for a moment, then looked at Qiao Yuan and then at Wang Jing.

"Girl, what do you mean?"

Obviously, he was seeking Wang Jing's opinion.

"The village chief, this is my sister. This time I mainly came to find her."

Qiao Yuan explained with a smile, Wang Jing blushed behind him, lowered his head and dared not look directly at Qiao Yuan.

The village chief's cloudy eyes flickered, and he finally agreed.

It was very refreshing to agree, which made Qiao Yuan feel more and more that there was something wrong with the village.

…

"By the way, the village chief, I just saw a statue at the entrance of the village, what does that mean?"

A teenager who took the villager's water and drank it asked curiously.

Everyone listened attentively, and it seemed that Qiao Yuan was not the only one who was curious.

The village chief smiled and looked up at the entrance of the village. Because the distance was too far, he could only see a black spot.

"This is a legend in our dead end village."

"It is said that a long, long time ago, a scholar who went to Beijing to take an exam passed by here and found a female ghost hovering in the village, harming passersby."

"The scholar has read books on sages and sages since he was a child. He was influenced by Haoran's righteousness and righteousness. It lasted for two days and two nights. In the end, he used a trick to influence the female ghost and both died. In order to commemorate this scholar~www.novelmt.com~, the descendants built this place. A statue is erected and worshipped day and night, and this custom has been preserved over time.”

The village chief looked at the fields in the distance, then turned his eyes to the crowd, and said again as if he had remembered something:

"There is also a saying in our older generation, that is, in the middle of the night, if you knock on your door four times in a row, the sheltering spirit will appear again."

"If you meet a woman with a red lantern, it means bad luck is coming."

"If you meet a man with a white lantern, it means you have good luck recently."

…

"So miraculous?"

Everyone was talking about it, and they had never heard of this myth.

The village chief smiled, waved his hand and said, "It's just a myth, it's fake..."

The crowd laughed and didn't take it seriously.

"Li Si, let's go, let's go to worship too. As the saying goes, we must worship every temple, and love each other!"

The ponytail girl suddenly became interested.

Li Si: "????"

Everyone: "????"

Villager: "????"

It seems...that makes some sense.

Then, everyone went to the village and worshipped as the custom, and Qiao Yuan was no exception.

Come to the statue and pray sincerely.

I originally wanted to pray for myself, but after thinking about it carefully, praying is just for peace, it has no practical use, it might as well...

Qiao Yuan's eyes lit up, and then he bowed twice.

"Please help me to curse the black hand behind me not to die, sores on the top of the head, infertility, broken bones..."

Rather than praying for oneself, it is better to curse the enemy, although it is useless, but the feeling is different.
