She made fire by setting up a stall

Chapter 189 Desolate Mountain Village
Several people arrived at the entrance of Shannan Village at nearly nine o'clock in the morning.

After eating the wild fruit, when they arrived at the entrance of the village, they were still relaxed, but a bit cold.

"The altitude here must be 1000 meters, right? I wore thicker clothes on purpose today, why do I still feel chilly?" Zhang Jia stomped his feet.

There is no signal here, and there is no real-time temperature on the phone.

Qi Xiaobo also shrank his neck, guessing, "I guess it's seven or eight degrees at most."

The location where they stood was said to be the entrance of the village, but in fact it was next to a house on the westernmost side of the village.

To be precise, this village has no village entrance, and the houses in the village are scattered around. From a distance, there are only three or four houses built next to each other at most. Usually, the houses built in this way are brothers who have not separated.

Most of the houses in the village are mud and tile houses, and the best one is a two-story cement house, similar to the houses in those villages they passed by when they came here.

"Why is this village so poor?" Zhang Jia clicked his tongue.

This kind of mud-tiled house was more common 40 to [-] years ago, and now many villages are built with small buildings.

"There is nothing incomprehensible." Qu Aiguo stood next to Zhang Jia. Looking closely, these houses standing in the mountains are like patches in the forest, which cannot be called beautiful. He said: "The village is too poor. Young people have gone out, and those who have gone out will never want to come back. Those who are able will take their parents and children out, and those who are not able can only let their parents and children stay here. They have not rebuilt the house, and they probably think too much To save some money, at least you have to buy a government resettlement house in the county seat, and as for Shannan Village, it probably won’t exist in a few decades.”

"Let's take a look at the village." Shi Luo took the lead and walked forward.

Ming Xun strode to keep up with her.

There are only two rooms in this family, one is the kitchen, and the other is the main room. The door of the main room is wide open. Standing at the door and looking in, several people realize that the room is very large, about forty to fifty square meters, with bedding, pots and bowls. The ladle was thrown all over the floor, and a sheet was used to separate the space inside in the northwest corner of the room, and a wooden bed was placed inside.

There are several bags of grain stacked in the southwest corner.

There was a dining table in the middle of the main room, and there were still uncleaned bowls and chopsticks on the table. It had been several months, and the table and the bowls and chopsticks were all black.

There is no blood here.

Presumably the host family ran away overnight.

Ming Xun observed the surroundings, and he said to Shi Luo: "We didn't see any blood on the way here, so the ancient corpse should not have been chased out, most likely it's still in the village."

If you go outside, it will also cause panic.

But apart from Shannan Village, there are no rumors of ghosts in other places.

"It's possible to return to the ancient tomb." Shi Luo continued.

On the way here, Xu Liangcai had already explained that the ancient tomb was still tens of miles away from Shannan Village. Back then, it was rumored that there were wild animals in the depths of the forest, and even the people of Shannan Village never dared to go inside.

Xu Liangcai was so bold that he found the tomb together with a few partners.

Afterwards, the group went to several houses, and every house was turned upside down, and there was no one or blood.

Several people frowned more and more tightly.

"It shouldn't be. Didn't it mean that other people came to Shannan Village and never came back? But there is neither bloodstains nor living people here. What about those people?" Zhang Jia muttered.

Shi Luo and Ming Xun looked at each other, and the two went straight to the houses on the easternmost side of Zuishannan Village.

Before they got there, a foul smell drifted over with the wind.

Several people stopped in unison, and Shi Luo gestured to Ming Xun, "You wait here first, I'll go and have a look."

"Luoluo, I'm with you." Ming Xun firmly grasped Shiluo's hand. At this time, it was impossible for him to retreat to the back and let Shiluo face the danger alone.

Not only Ming Xun, Zhang Jia and the others will not just watch Ming Xun and Shi Luo fall into danger.

They didn't speak, but they all stepped forward.

"Then you follow me." Now is not the time to argue, Shi Luo reminded them, "If that ancient corpse appears and wants to attack you, if you can't resist, just run, I have a way to subdue him, don't hold me back .”

"Miss Shi, don't worry, we will remember." Zhang Jia and the others still have self-knowledge when dealing with such unnatural things.

When Shi Luo walked forward, she realized that Ming Xun was still holding her hand. She squeezed Ming Xun's hand tightly and said to him, "Go."

The room in this family is much neater, but there are three dead bodies lying on the ground, two of them are rotten, and the stench is coming from them.

Shi Luo stepped forward, observed carefully, and pointed to two of the corpses, "These two had their throats bitten off and died of blood."

Among the three dead, two were old people, and one was a child whose blood had been sucked out.

Zhang Jia couldn't bear to watch, he lowered his eyes, "Miss Shi, didn't you say that the child has a lot of yang energy? Ancient corpses like to eat yin energy, how do you drain this child's blood?"

Shi Luo replied, "Unless the child was born around Qingming Festival, or in July."

"Bury them." Shi Luo checked the inside and outside of the house again, and there was no trace of the ancient corpse, so she dragged the two coffins out of the house.

"Why is there a coffin here?" No matter how courageous Zhang Jia was, the surroundings were gloomy, with three corpses and two coffins beside him. This scene was terrifying no matter how you looked at it. He shrank behind Qu Aiguo.

"Although the country has not allowed burials for a long time, there are still some ethnic minorities in these remote areas who have their own rules. They will still be buried. The old people will prepare coffins and shrouds for themselves early. In this way, in case of sudden death one day, Don’t be in a hurry.” Qu Aiguo explained, “Have you heard of the coffin book? The old man is also afraid that he won’t even have a place to sleep after death.”

"Those who have money will build a high-quality coffin for themselves, while those who have no money will use ordinary coffins."

Without saying a word, the men found a shovel from this family and buried the three of them next to the house.

After that, several people searched dozens of households in the whole village, and found two more corpses.

They all died of being bitten off their necks.

In addition, there is no outsider mentioned by the receptionist of the hotel in Siliang County.

This village was originally hidden in the deep mountains, but now the village is deserted, and the cool wind of late autumn hits, making people shiver.

Fortunately, the weather today is fine and the sun is shining brightly, dispelling some of the haze in everyone's hearts.

"Luoluo, should we recruit him here, or go to the grave?" Ming Xun asked Shiluo after burying the corpses.

This female corpse was restrained by Shi Luo, and if the seal was released, she could summon another ancient corpse.

"Go to the tomb." Where the ancient corpse came from, it will naturally return to where it belongs.

"Then let's go as soon as possible." Seeing the villagers killed by the ancient corpse with his own eyes, Ming Xun also felt angry.

Shi Luo also had this intention.

Along the way, Shi Luo didn't touch Xu Liangcai, but he thought that all these villagers would die because of him, so Shi Luo walked over with big strides, and nodded between his eyebrows in the air.

Xu Liangcai cried out in pain and woke up.

"Are you familiar with this place?" Zhang Jia directly pulled Xu Liangcai's hair to let him see the surrounding scenery clearly, "It hasn't changed at all in the past ten or twenty years, right?"

Then he pointed to the new graves not far away, "Here are all the people who died because of you."

"Xu Liangcai, you are really—" Zhang Jia could no longer find words to describe this person.

Shi Luo ordered a few people, "Fix his legs, and let him walk the rest of the way."
