The ultimate rebirth of the female cannon fodder

Chapter 21 Adventures in the Deserted Village
Lu Wanqing understood the meaning of the other party, but when her soul approached the well, she always felt that the spirit inside was threatening.My heart suddenly became alert, subconsciously stepped back a little, turned around and said to the ghost: "How did you die?"

The figure said: "One night two years ago, she came to draw water and fell down for no reason... I came to look for her, and when I heard someone from below telling me to go down, she fell down without knowing it... I waited here It's been two years, and you are the first person here who can see me and hear me..."

"Two years?" Lu Wanqing wondered, probably the corpse below had rotted into a pile of bones.In addition to the voice that the other party said that tempted them to fall, and the messy things in the yard, Lu Wanqing felt that there must be something strange about this matter, so she dared not act rashly.She looked at the figure, and it was almost transparent. She remembered the year when she became a ghost in her previous life. At first, she was really weak and almost lost her wits, but then she gradually became stronger.And the other party has been a ghost for more than two years, she hasn't completely lost her soul, but she hasn't become stronger either, which makes her feel a little surprised.

There are only two situations for the soul to become like this. One is that the soul is already strong enough to change its shape at will, and the other is that the other party is really going to dissipate, but the soul that is about to dissipate is like a living person on the verge of death. This kind of weakness seems to be unable to support the opponent's arbitrary actions at all.Lu Wanqing lamented that she had too little experience and was too weak...

The wilderness is so weird, after thinking about it for a moment, Lu Wanqing said: "Do you know what it is that lured you down?"

The figure shook his head, and Lu Wanqing said, "Well, I'll find a way to go down and have a look at dawn tomorrow, but I can't guarantee that I will be able to bring you up for burial." Even though they are ghosts, they are very likely to lie.

The figure nodded, and slowly floated into the well.

Just in time, the sky slowly brightened.When Lu Wanqing woke up, she didn't expect to feel that her soul just came out of her body for a while, and it turned out that the whole night passed.She stretched her muscles and bones, and felt a little dizzy in her head. She thought it was because her soul had been out of her body for too long and consumed too much energy.She remembered the conversation with the ghost at night, so she walked to the well, and all the ropes on the wheel had fallen down. The well was not very deep, and the dry bottom could be vaguely seen.

However, she didn't see any corpses, so she felt vigilant. Could it be that something deliberately lured her down, and then murdered herself?Thinking of this, she retreated to the thatched hut next to her, packed her bags and prepared to leave. There was no one living here, and she didn't even know where she was, so it's better not to meddle.

After walking a few steps, I heard a whimper coming from the bottom of the well, and when I listened intently, there was nothing.

"Help me...I'm so cold..." An intermittent voice came from the well, as if it came from Jiuyou. Lu Wanqing heard a chill rushing up her mind from her back, and without much thought, she picked up the package and ran away.After running for a long distance, he stopped out of breath and looked back in shock. The thatched cottage had already disappeared into the depths of the woods.

Along the looming forest path, Lu Wanqing walked quickly. It was not until half an hour later that she saw a few houses scattered in the valley in the distance, which should be a small mountain village.

The smoke from the kitchen was curling up from the house, and Lu Wanqing was overjoyed that she finally met her.

As he got closer, Lu Wanqing realized that the whole village was surrounded by high stone walls. After walking around for a long time, before reaching the entrance of the village, a huge wooden door made of logs was tightly closed.Lu Wanqing stepped forward and knocked on the door, "Is anyone there? People passing by come to stay overnight."

After a while, a response came from inside: "Who are you? How did you get here." The voice was old and hoarse.

Through the gap in the wooden door, an old man with a gray beard was looking at her. Lu Wanqing tried her best to look calm and said with a smile: "Old man, I am a passer-by. I went to the provincial capital to visit relatives. I lost my way and wanted to stay overnight. I hope it will be convenient for you."

After a while, two young men's voices came from inside, and the door opened immediately.

Lu Wanqing was the first to bless the old man, "Thank you old man," turning to the two young men, "Thank you two elder brothers."

The old man was obviously very cautious, let her in, and the two young people immediately closed the door.The old man looked at Lu Wanqing, "You said you went to the provincial capital, how did you come here?"

"It's like this. I originally went to the provincial capital with my aunt to visit relatives. I never thought of going to the mountain temple to rest overnight. When I woke up the next morning, my aunt disappeared. I searched for a long time to no avail. I have no relatives, so I can only go to the provincial capital to find relatives for help. But I haven’t seen the official road station after walking for two days, so I must have lost my way, please help me, old man.”

The old man still looked at the other party suspiciously, and said to a young man next to him, "Chunsheng, go and tell your mother to prepare a room."

Wearing an animal skin jacket, Chunsheng glanced at Lu Wanqing, promised, and ran towards a nearby house.

Lu Wanqing was blessed again: "Thank you, old man."

The old man led Lu Wanqing to the house and said, "You said you came from the mountain temple fifty miles away?"

"Fifty miles?" Lu Wanqing was stunned for a moment, she didn't expect that she had walked such a long mountain road in two days, "Well, there are three roads next to the temple. People who couldn't see my aunt at that time searched for it to no avail, and they couldn't wait. A passer-by asked for directions, so he picked one at random. I never thought that I would come here.”

The old man paused, "Then did you see a mountain hut?"

Lu Wanqing said: "The hut, are they two thatched huts?" The old man quickly said, "Yes, have you been there?" His eyes were burning, as if he wanted to see through Lu Wanqing.

Lu Wanqing remembered what happened in the hut, and didn't know how to answer, "I saw that the hut was dilapidated, so I didn't go in."

The old man obviously breathed a sigh of relief, "Oh... that's it, come on, come in and sit down."

While talking, the three of them had already walked to the front of the room, and a woman in a coarse cloth skirt came out. The woman was about 30 years old, with her sleeves rolled up and an apron around her waist. ,Who is this?"

The old man said: "She lost her way and wanted to stay overnight."

"Ma'am, I'm sorry to bother you." Lu Wanqing hurriedly blessed her.

The woman smiled, wiped her hands on her apron, and let a few people into the room.

The room was a bit cramped, but it was very clean and tidy. Lu Wanqing took out a piece of silver from her sleeve pocket and handed it to the old man: "Old man, don't dare to bother me for nothing, I will give it to you."

The old man gave in and accepted it.The woman said, "I've packed the house, girl, come with me."

"Thank you, ma'am." Lu Wanqing entered the room that had just been tidied up. On one side was a wooden bed with straw mats and an old mattress.On the other side of the room were piles of old chests, benches, etc.It should be a utility room. Lu Wanqing hasn't lived in a good house since the day he crossed over, and has been worrying about his own life all day long. It would be nice to have a shelter from the wind and rain. Where is it? How dare you find fault.

This is called Shangliang Village, with a total of twelve families.There is no such thing as a village chief or patriarch. The old man's surname is Tu. He is the oldest person in this small mountain village. He has experienced some things when he was young.The woman is the old man's daughter-in-law, Mrs. Ye, and the two young men are his grandsons, Chunsheng, Qiusheng, the son and the village's young men went hunting in the mountains and have not returned yet.

For dinner, roe deer meat boiled noodle soup with pimples. Although there was no seasoning, it was still very delicious for Lu Wanqing, who had always lived a poor life and ate dry food for a few days.

The old man mentioned the matter of the hut again, and Lu Wanqing followed suit, "Uncle Tu, is there something wrong with that hut?"

Tu Lao said: "In fact, there used to be a village there, with at least ten families, but for some reason, all the people disappeared for no reason. It was deserted. Strange to say, there was only one family left in the end. They were an old couple. There were so many people, when I thought that everyone died there, I was scared out of my wits, ran back and got seriously ill, died, and then everyone kept secret about that hut. You, a girl, came from there, I don’t know..."

Lu Wanqing understood, thinking of what the ghost said last night, it seems that there must be something weird under the well.But when I looked down at that time, the well was not deep, and there was nothing in it except the dry bottom. "You mean they saw the dead walking around the hut?"

Ye's interface said: "Isn't that right, that time when Goudan and his father came back and told us about it, it was very intrusive, and the two of them fell ill immediately, talking nonsense, Goudan and his father died soon after. Dead, Goudan barely healed later, but he was also demented."

Lu Wanqing said, "Can I go and see Goudan?"

Several people glanced at each other, and Mrs. Ye said, "Why are you going to see him?"

The old man promised without hesitation, "Okay, after dinner, Chunsheng, you two can take the girl to have a look."

When seeing Tie Dan, Lu Wanqing obviously felt a slight tugging of the soul in the sea of ​​consciousness, thinking that it must be Tie Dan's soul that was damaged.Could it be that ghost shadow?Last night, if it wasn't for my strong soul and not being attacked by Yin Qi, or I would have become a person like Tie Dan with an incomplete soul if I didn't die.However, despite this, her soul has consumed a lot of energy, and it also makes people feel a little tired.

After all, Lu Wanqing is a layman, and only knows that Tie Dan's stupidity is related to the incomplete soul, but there is nothing she can do.Sighing, he followed Chunsheng back to Tu's house, exchanged a few words with their family members, and then went to his room to rest.
