Chapter 1435 Market
“What does it mean to be abandoned?” the fat man asked.
“Everyone in the village has disappeared, but the houses, fishing tools, etc. are still there. It feels like they left in a hurry and left many things at home.”
< br>"Not long after this incident, I heard that there was news of hauntings in the deserted village. It was said that a hunter in the mountains had gone the wrong way because of the rain. It was late at night, and he saw him from a distance. met the village "Every house in the village had lights on, but after he arrived on a mountain road, he discovered that there were no lights anywhere. These empty houses had been abandoned for a long time, and there was no one in the whole village."
< br>"From then on, no one dared to go there. The surrounding mountain people and hunters avoided going there. As time passed, the rumors became more and more intense, and the news of the ghost village spread."
This long-lasting memory aroused the fear deep in Shopkeeper Qian's heart. He wiped the cold sweat from his forehead from time to time. It didn't look like he was pretending.
It is unlikely that all the people in the village died. From shopkeeper Qian’s description, it seemed more like they had suffered an unprecedented disaster, and the remaining survivors had to leave their homes and flee the fishing village.
Needless to say, this must be related to the ghost tower deep in the lake.
But compared to these bizarre stories, Jiangcheng cares more about time. The catastrophe in the fishing village began on the night when the treasure was exposed after the low tide.
On the first night, people in the village went to pick up their hidden wealth, and someone disappeared.
On the second night, the remaining people had strange dreams. They dreamed that their relatives had returned, but they mysteriously sank into the Spring God Lake. There were also a series of strange things such as the mute making noises, the blind seeing, and the deaf hearing the rhythm of silk and bamboo orchestras. .
On the third night, there was no explanation, because Shopkeeper Qian’s informant disappeared and there was no news. Soon after, the so-called fishing village was completely abandoned and turned into a scary ghost village.
The key point is time, that is to say, it only takes 3 days at the earliest after the low tide occurs, and something more terrifying will happen on the night of the third day.
Seemingly seeing the doubts on Jiang Cheng’s face, shopkeeper Qian said in a low voice: “You are here because of that incident, right? There are people spreading rumors outside that the low tide corresponds to the ghosts in the underworld. The door opened, and it was said that General Guo had been in power all his life, and finally died in an unknown place. General Guo was unwilling to be handed over to a small soldier. He was using his hidden wealth to recruit troops and horses for himself, and was preparing to seek revenge from the Zhennan Hou Mansion. "
Ignoring Shopkeeper Qian's explanation, Jiang Cheng asked directly. Said: "When was the last great low tide?"
Shopkeeper Qian was stunned for a moment by Jiang Cheng's question, and then his eyes changed when he looked at Fatty Jiang Cheng. But before he could speak, he saw the fat man lifting the thick wooden tea table weighing 100 kilograms with one hand, and then slowly Put it down, the tea on the tea table was not moved much during this process.
Shopkeeper Qian shuddered, finally repositioned himself, and immediately replied: "Yes...it was last night. The latest one happened last night. I also just received the news this morning. Isn't this right?" "
Last night...this time made Jiang Cheng's heart tense. Isn't this the time when a strange carriage drove out of the Zhennan Hou Mansion late at night? There was also a coffin tied tightly with hemp rope on top of the carriage.
This is definitely not a coincidence!
What is even more spine-chilling is yet to come. Their task tonight is to transfer the spirit of the late madam. If they are lucky enough to survive, then the next night, that is, tomorrow night, they will go there. By the Spring God Lake, and according to time calculation, tomorrow night is the time when the terrorist incident will occur!
It seems that there is an invisible hand controlling all of this. This is not something that a mere Zhennanhou can do. Zhennanhou is just a disciple who is about to be completely eroded, and he is not a god.
But Jiang Cheng felt that what he was about to face was walking with God, at least in this mission. The ghost building named Bliss was like a mess that couldn't be broken up or messed up. The haze has always shrouded Jiangcheng's head. The battle at Xieming Mountain was just an ordinary foreplay, but even so, it was still close to The group destroyed the top crimson power including Lin Wan'er, No. 3 and others. What was even more frightening was that Jiang Cheng smelled a familiar smell from the ghost building. That thing seemed to have the same purpose as the old president's bus. In other words, it is simply a variant of the same thing, but the threat posed by the ghost building is far less powerful than the bus.
I interrogated shopkeeper Qian some more, and he told me everything he knew, with a very sincere attitude. Unfortunately, the information he had was also limited. After all, he was just an antique dealer, not a poor person like them.
No more trouble for Shopkeeper Qian, Fatty Jiangcheng left through the back door. They were not worried about Shopkeeper Qian leaking their whereabouts. This man was a smart man and knew what to say and what not to say.
Watching Jiang Cheng and the two people leave, Shopkeeper Qian slumped in his chair, thankful that he had finally saved his life. But more than ten seconds later, Fatty Jiang Cheng came back, which scared Shopkeeper Qian. , thinking that the two of them had temporarily changed their minds and planned to kill people and silence them.
But before shopkeeper Qian knelt down with trembling legs and begged for mercy, Jiang Cheng waved his hands and said in a kind-sounding voice: "Don't get me wrong, I came back to remind you of one thing. The interrogation process when leaving the city is very complicated now." strictly if If you must leave, remember to take the West City Gate, where the situation is slightly better."
After speaking, the two Jiang Cheng left, leaving shopkeeper Qian alone in a daze, and it took him a long time to react. .
Jiang Cheng’s words are not nonsense. Liu Bingdao told him that the interrogation at the West City Gate is relatively less strict. He is also the famous Mr. Liu in Wujiaxiang. According to the agreement, he will take Wu Yujiao and her with him tonight. Together with my mother, I left Luo'an City and went to visit relatives outside the city.
There is no good or bad opinion about Wu Yujiao in Jiangcheng. Everyone met by chance. If he is lucky enough to leave this mission alive, then Wu Yujiao can be regarded as a passing guest in his life and will be forgotten in a few days. However, Jiang Cheng was unusually disgusted with Wu Yujiao's mother.
This old woman can be considered a miserable person herself, but in order to leave a way out for herself, she would plead for Liu DaDa and his entourage in front of Jiang Cheng, but she turned a deaf ear to the beggar's pleas. According to what the beggar said, he even repaired the doors and windows of the old woman during the cold winter months.
Although this was not a big deal, it greatly affected the old woman's heart in Jiang Cheng.
Thinking about it as he walked, many images emerged in Jiang Cheng’s mind, like a revolving door before someone’s death. Gradually, the sounds in his ears slowly faded away. It was as if he was the only one left. (End of this chapter)
