Chapter 35 Horror Night

"Jambo"

Fu Shaoping called out softly.

Old Zhan, who was sitting on the rattan chair, woke up immediately and smiled when he saw Fu Shaoping:

"Why are you here?"

"Guardian Yan Yang Mulin arrived a month ago, and since the Chinese New Year is coming soon, he naturally came to pick you up. Come and try the new dishes in Bai Xiang Lou. They are spicy enough, and I'm sure you will like them."

"You still understand me!"

Old Zhan stood up with a smile and waved his hand to ask the servants to bring up the small dining table.

Fu Shaoping placed the food box of spicy fried Huoyun chicken, the tofu pudding that Old Zhan was going to drink, a bottle of osmanthus wine, and a plate of peanuts on the table one by one.

It was already night.

Old Zhan no longer eats.

But firstly, it was Fu Shaoping's intention, and secondly, these were his favorites, so he had to break his vow. After a few drinks, Old Zhan put down his chopsticks and said:
"You seem to be hesitant to speak, so tell me, is there anything I can help you with?"

"James, you really have a great ability to observe."

Fu Shaoping's face turned serious.

He briefly described the strange things he had seen in Wuya Village and Wuzhi Slope, and then said:
"Zhan Bo, are there any colleagues stationed in Yanyang Wood Forest all year round? Perhaps they know something about the situation in Wuya Village."

"wait."

Old Zhan gave a few instructions to the servants, and they started digging in a flash.

After a while.

A cook with a gray beard was brought over.

James said:
"This old Cui has worked in the kitchen of Yanyang Mulin for decades. He purchases the ingredients used every day from Wuya Village. He knows the situation in Wuya Village best. Just ask whatever you want to ask."

Cook Lao Cui heard this.

I was so scared that I shivered.

I thought I was discovered because I was purchasing a small amount of goods by stealing weight.

He immediately knelt on the ground and begged for mercy:
"Sir, I didn't use a penny of that silver. I sealed it in the mud bricks of my room. Sir, I know I was wrong. Please forgive me this time. I will never do it again, sir!!"

talking.

Then he would kowtow to the ground.

Fu Shaoping raised his hand to signal him to be silent:
"I ask you questions and you answer them. If you lie even a little bit, I'll put you in jail for a few years just for embezzling public funds."

"Thank you for sparing my life, sir. Thank you for sparing my life, sir."

Old Cui in the kitchen was so shocked that his defenses were already broken.

Fu Shaoping stared into his eyes and said:

"Why is the Wuya Village sacrifice held?"

"It's to pray for good weather and good harvests next year."

"It's that simple?"

"Ah? Oh, right, I remember now. When I first came to Yanyangmulin, Wuya Village was still a small village. The villagers were extremely poor and had little food to eat. Later, after a sacrifice ceremony, things got better year by year. Decades later, it has now developed into a large village with thousands of people."

In other words.

All changes start with sacrifice.

Did the people of Wuya Village really receive the blessing of the gods?!

Fu Shaoping didn't believe it. If that was the case, why was Wuya Village so poor before? He mentioned another thing:
"Did you see anything unusual when you were going up and down the Five Fingers Slope below the forest?"

"Have!"

this problem.

Lao Cui answered with absolute certainty.

Moreover, there was a hint of fear in his eyes:

"Sir, the Five Fingers Slope is full of stillborn babies. Over the decades, the resentment is too strong. It is said that resentful spirits often appear there."

"I saw it once when I came back from my last shopping trip to the village."

"That vengeful spirit was really scary, with half of its face missing. Luckily, I prepared for the worst and brought a can of black dog blood with me. I poured it over the spirit right away. Although I didn't kill it, it didn't dare to follow me anymore, so I was able to save my life."

Fu Shaoping just shook his head.

The young man with the ghost face is obviously a human being, not a vengeful spirit.

He turned to:

"Since Wuya Village is blessed by the gods and has a prosperous and healthy life, why are there so many dead babies every year?"

"Sir, it is said that the ancestors of Wuya Village were cursed by a Gu Master from Southern Xinjiang. Any child born in a Yin month in their village will not survive. The god they worship is in charge of the harvest, and the power of this curse cannot be broken."

There was a pause.

The chef lowered his voice and said:
"Sir, this Wuya Village is very evil."

"Although Wuya Village has become wealthy, residents in nearby villages are afraid of the curse passed down in their bloodline. They generally don't associate with them, and no one wants to marry them. The brides in their village are all bought from other places."

"My Lord, it's good that you know about Wuya Village. I think it's better not to have too much contact with it, so as not to be contaminated by bad luck!"

Such evil nature!
Fu Shaoping originally felt that there was something strange about Wuya Village.

Now we can conclude that there must be something fishy about the sacrifice in Wuya Village.

He winked at Old Zhan.

Old Zhan immediately understood what he meant. He waved his hand back and several servants came forward, tied up Old Cui, and threw him into the woodshed to lock him up.

Old Zhan said coldly to the servants present today:

"From now on, without my order, you are not allowed to leave this building. Do you understand?"

"Yes, my lord!"

the end.

After things are settled.

Old Zhan then turned to Fu Shaoping:
"Shaoping, do you think there is some conspiracy in Wuya Village?"

"Yes, and it is most likely related to the baby born in the Yin Moon, but we need to further investigate what it is."

"Shaoping, demons and ghosts are rampant in this world, and witchcraft and curses are prevalent in southern Xinjiang. This is also true. It is better to believe it. It is better to have a good heart. Let's report the deeds of Wuya Village to the station. It is too dangerous for you to act alone."

"Zhan Bo, I'm afraid that the higher-ups won't send anyone down just based on this folk rumor without providing any actual clues."

"But you can't put yourself in danger!"

Fu Shaoping sensed the concern of Old Zhan for him, and his heart warmed. He smiled and said:
"Zhan Bo, don't worry, I'm just going to take a look. If there is any danger, I will retreat immediately!"

"Okay, remember, nothing is more important than your own life!"

Old Zhan didn't give any further advice.

After nightfall.

Only then, under the guidance of Old Zhan, Fu Shaoping quietly left Yanyang Mulin through the secret passage of Yanyang Mulin. The less people knew his whereabouts, the safer he would be.

To his surprise.

The secret passage leading to the outside is actually Wuzhi Slope.

at this time.

The pale moonlight fell on the densely packed graves. There was silence all around and the night wind was blowing gently. Fu Shaoping could not help but shivering. He felt a little scared in his heart. He crawled out of the tunnel entrance and sealed it.

Turn around.

He was almost scared to death!
