Chapter 205 Plum Tree Pillow with Bones
Taoli Village is located in the mountains of Dabei City. The road is winding and covered with heavy snow all year round. It is inaccessible. Even the location of this village is not on the map. It can be said that it is out of the world. Isolated, a veritable paradise, of course, this is just what it looks like.
If the ghost post office hadn’t given me an address, it wouldn’t have been easy to find this place without spending some effort.
Stepping out of the cliff, Lin Qian disappeared directly to the spot, Taoli Village, he was here.
A path was paved with stone slabs. The falling snowflakes fell on the stone slabs and disappeared in the blink of an eye. Lin Qian walked on the only path into Taoli Village with calm eyes.
Peach trees stand on both sides of the path. The peaches hanging from the branches are red, tender and juicy, making people salivate at first glance. The sunlight penetrates between the leaves and shines on the stone road.
Coco looked at the peaches hanging on the branches with bright eyes. He stood up from Lin Qian's shoulders and reached out to pick one from the branch. The branch shook and the peach fell into Coco's hands.
Coco held the big red peach in both hands, sniffed it slightly, and immediately threw the delicious-looking peach to the ground with a look of disgust on his face.
The moment the peach touched the stone road, the peach immediately began to rot. In an instant, it turned into a piece of corruption, and a disgusting stench came from the sky.
Lin Qian looked at this scene with a very calm expression. He patted Coco's feet and motioned her to sit down. Coco curled her lips and looked unhappy.
"Dad, why can't you eat this peach?"
Lin Qian looked at the peach trees around him. What he saw was that the peach trees were dry and black, with withered branches and leaves, and the peaches were rotten and smelly.
As for sunshine? Oh, that doesn't exist at all, it's just an illusion. No, it can't be said to be an illusion, it should be a supernatural power.
Everything here, including the stone road under your feet, is made of supernatural beings.
Hearing what Coco said, Lin Qian thought for a while, took off his glasses and put them on Coco’s face:
"Keke will know just by looking at it."
The moment Keke put on the glasses, Keke saw the surrounding situation clearly, and his little face was suddenly filled with disgust:
"Dad, these The food is ugly and not delicious at all..."
Lin Qian's mouth twitched, and he took the glasses back and put them on his face again, feeling a little helpless:
"Okay, Dad knows, I will go to the village later to see where Tao Zi said Maybe you can eat it, but I’ll get you some if you can.”
Hearing this, Coco's eyes suddenly lit up:
"Okay!"
Seeing Coco's happy look, Lin Qian shook his head:
"You "Snack food, come on, let's go in and have a look."
Hearing her father's words, Keke laughed and her two little feet swayed happily.
In response, Lin Qian just shook his head and said nothing. He didn't care about the strange peach trees around him and walked towards Taoli Village.
From what we have just seen, the supernatural here can even deceive Coco. You must know that Coco is no less terrifying than him. With the bride’s supernatural presence, there are very few scary things. Of course, this snack cannot be ruled out. The reason is that these peaches are delicious, so I chose to forget to look carefully.
Due to my understanding of Cocoa, there is a high probability that it belongs to the latter, but I have also tested some things from this, such as the function of ghost glasses.
Having seen through the ghost realm and the existence of evil ghosts, Lin Qian basically understood what this meant...
The breeze blew by, blowing the corners of his clothes, walking through the path lined with peach trees, It was safe and sound, and Lin Qian arrived at the entrance of the village.
In front of the village, a plum tree and a peach tree stand on both sides. In front of the plum tree is a blue stone tablet with three large blood-red characters "Peach and Plum Village" written on it.
Lin Qian stood at the entrance of the village, squinting her eyes. Looking from the entrance of the village, there was a small bridge and flowing water. There was a peach and plum tree within ten steps, with plums hanging from the branches.
On the exterior walls of many houses, plum branches protrude from the courtyard walls, and the green plums shine in the sun.
Looking up at the sky, Lin Qian raised his eyebrows. There was no sun in the day, but the light was falling:
“It’s interesting, there is something about this village.”
Occasionally, villagers pass by in the village, and the faces of these villagers are filled with kind smiles. If you put aside these strange things, just look at these villagers, they are ordinary, simple, and amiable. When others look at them, they will think that this is a good person. place.
Lin Qian's eyes flickered slightly as she walked into the village. What she saw before her eyes was either true or false, everything was unknown.
Enter the village, children are playing in the water by the stream, and cheerful laughter echoes by the stream. Under the plum tree, the old man is playing chess, and the sound of the chessboard falling is crisp.
Women pounded clothes, men farmed, everything looked so beautiful. Lin Qian looked at it all coldly, with red light flashing in his eyes, but no one could see it because it was covered by glasses.
Walking on the village road, there were plum trees and peach trees next to it. Coco's eyes were bright, staring at a peach on a peach tree, and swallowed.
Coco observed these peaches carefully, her eyes were full of joy, these peaches are edible!
These peach trees are not tall, and Ke Ke can easily pick them by sitting on Lin Qian’s shoulders.
Coco reached out to the nearest peach. Just when he was about to pick one and try it, an old voice came. The voice was stern, but more anxious:
" "Little girl, you can't eat that peach. Take your hand back quickly." His face was full of anxiety.
Hearing the old man's words, Lin Qian's eyes were thoughtful, and she stretched out her hand to stop Coco:
"Keke, don't pick it yet, we will check the situation later."
Seeing Dad. Having said that, Coco took back her hand in disappointment, with a pity in her eyes.
At this time, the old man also came to Lin Qian, breathing heavily, and the wrinkles on his face twitched.
Lin Qian stared at the old man with a very calm expression, even though the old man was terrifying in his eyes:
"Old man, why do you say these peaches can't be eaten? I see there are so many peaches and plums in your village, so there's nothing wrong with my daughter eating two, right?"
"Could it be that all the people in your village are like that?" Stingy?"
Lin Qian's voice was calm, a smile appeared on his face, he licked the corners of his mouth and resisted the urge to eat the old man.
"Oh, Housheng, you misunderstood. It's not that the people in our village are stingy. If you had come a few days earlier, you would have eaten the peach. It doesn't matter how much you eat. You have also seen that we There aren’t many other things in Taoli Village, only peaches and plums.”
“But it’s different now. We just treated these peaches with medicine the day before yesterday, and the effects of the medicine haven’t worn off yet. Now you will die if you eat them. ”
After the old man took a deep breath, he looked helpless and explained in a serious tone.
Looking at the old man's slightly dull pupils, Lin Qian smiled and said:
"So that's it. I was wrong. I apologize to the old man here."
Lin Qian spoke very sincerely, with a dangerous red light flashing in his eyes. The old man raised his head He stared at Lin Qian and saw that Lin Qian was dressed like a gentleman. He couldn't help but reveal a smile on his face. He waved his hands and said:
"It's okay. This is still our fault. If I had known earlier that you would Come on, we won’t use pesticides. This is really a mistake.”
"But you don't have to be disappointed. Although peaches are inedible, plums are still edible. There have been no worms on plums in recent years, but there are worms on peaches, so we only medicated the peaches, not the plums."
At this point, the old man walked to a plum tree and reached out to pick a handful of plums. Judging from the old man's posture, if his hands were not too small, he might have picked more.
“Now, you guys have a taste of these first. If you think they taste good, you can pick them yourself. There aren’t many in our village, but these are the most plums.”
The old man held the plums and handed them over. In front of Coco, Coco looked at the emerald-yellow plums in the old man's hand and swallowed. Just as he was about to reach out to take it, he stopped reaching out and looked down at Lin Qian eagerly. As long as his father said he could eat it, Coco could eat it. Just eating.
Lin Qian pushed up his glasses, a little helpless, smiled, reached out and picked up a plum and put it in Coco's hand. He also picked up one, stared at the plum in his hand, and then looked at the old man's inexplicable expression. Lin Qian could see in his eyes that the old guy really wanted them to eat it.
Lin Qian narrowed his eyes, thought for a moment, put the plum into his mouth and took a bite. Suddenly, a green sweetness appeared in his mouth. It was so delicious.
It can be seen that dad ate it, his face was suddenly full of smile, and he started eating bite by bite.
After seeing Lin Qian and Coco eating plums, the smile on the old man's face was as bright as a chrysanthemum in full bloom.
After Lin Qian and Coco finished eating the plums, the old man directly stuffed all the plums in his hands into Lin Qian’s arms, and then said:
“You two, father and daughter, Why did you come to our Taoli Village? Did you get lost while visiting the mountains? ”
Lin Qian looked at the plums in her arms. These plums were put into Coco's pocket for her convenience. Ordinary people would definitely die if they ate them. It was just a matter of how long it would take.
But he and Keke just ate what they ate. There was no problem with eating as much as they wanted, and there were no big taboos.
"Yeah? Old man, is there anyone else who came here before us?"
Lin Qian was a little confused. This ghost place looked abnormal. Even an ordinary person could see it. Come out, why would anyone come here?
As for whether he is a ghost controller, haha, usually when a ghost controller sees this ghost place, he will run away without even thinking about it, and will not come in to seek death at all.
Therefore, this old guy should be talking about ordinary people...
Hearing Lin Qian's question, the old man nodded and said:
"There are indeed a few people who came to us. Taoli Village, they accidentally got lost when they were visiting the mountains, and they came to our Taoli Village in a roundabout way."
"Oh, is that so? We were lucky. We, father and daughter, happened to be on a trip up the mountain. We accidentally lost our way, and it took us a long time to get to Taoli Village."
"We came here just to ask. If the old man knows the direction and distance from here to the city, we would be very grateful if he could tell us father and daughter.”
Lin Qian's face was full of smiles, and not a single word in his mouth was true.
“Well, I understand. I know the direction and distance to the city, but you see it’s getting late now. Why not just stay here for one night and I’ll let you know at dawn tomorrow. I'm sending you out together with a few other people."
The old man looked at the sky in the distance. The sky was already dark at the moment, and it was about to get dark.
Lin Qian looked in the direction of the old man, and the corner of his mouth twitched, MD, it is one o'clock in the afternoon, and you told me that it is getting late, do you think I am an ordinary person?
Um... I forgot, this ghost really treats them as ordinary people, otherwise he wouldn't be so blatantly deceiving...
Looking at the gradually darkening sky, and then looking at the plums in Coco's hand, Lin Qian looked thoughtful and said:
"Can it influence people's thinking? This is really a good place..."
Seeing the sincere look on the old man’s face, Lin Qian thought for a while and nodded and said:
“Look at the sky. It is indeed getting late, and it may get dark soon. This is a remote country, and it is in the mountains. There will inevitably be some jackals, tigers, and leopards. It is really unsafe to travel in the dark."
"Then. The boy is causing trouble to the elderly. I hope the elderly will not find it troublesome. ”
Lin Qian's words were very sincere and he directly told what the old man wanted to say.
Hearing Lin Qian’s words, the old man’s eyes suddenly glazed over for a moment, but then returned to normal. He nodded with a smile on his face and said:
“No trouble, No need to worry about this little thing. In that case, just come with me. I am the village chief here. , there are more rooms in my house, so you can come and stay at my house.”
“It just so happens that those lost tourists are also in my house. They are just like you. They are also young people. You can have something to talk about when you live together. "
With that said, the old village chief led Lin Qian and his daughter towards the center of the village.
Lin Qian squinted her eyes and looked down at the plum tree next to her. The plums were green and yellow, and the plum tree was pretty and had luxuriant branches.
Looking through the roots of the tree, a snow-white withered skeleton was wrapped around the roots of a plum tree. A faint coldness surrounded the withered skeleton and lasted for a long time.
"Haha, I was really right. There are dead bones under the plum tree. It's sad that the plums are so delicious..."
Looking at the slightly rickety old man, Lin Qian smiled and said, With some excitement on his face, he followed the old man towards the village:
"What a good thing, with many ghosts and even more ghost slaves..."
"If I eat them all, I wonder if the starving ghost will become more terrifying?"
Lin Qian was a little curious, but he was not in a hurry. He would endure it for now and wait until he finished picking the plums.
…………
Outside Taoli Village, on a cliff, the sound of trampling on the snow appeared, and a roe deer that was eating grass roots raised its head, with curiosity in its eyes.
After the roe deer saw clearly what made the sound, he turned around and ran away without any hesitation. As a result, he hit the tree again with a bang...
Zhao Yunyun, Liu San and Xia Hanxin looked at the fainted roe deer with strange expressions, and twitched the corners of their mouths:
"Is this the famous mythical beast here? It is indeed worthy of its name. It is the same as in the legend. Just as stupid." Zhao Yunyun said.
Liu San had a strange expression on his face and shook his head without saying anything. He walked over and took the silly roe deer aside.
This is a mythical beast. Although it is a bit silly, it is not a mythical beast after all.
The three of them came to the edge of the cliff, overlooking Taoli Village in the valley below. When they saw the scene of Taoli Village clearly, the three of them were silent. After a long time, Zhao Yunyun spoke, his voice a little Low:
"Is this where we are going? There are peach and plum trees, and there are still fruits on the trees."
Speaking of this, Zhao Yunyun looked up at the gloomy sky, and then at the peach and plum village. Saluo Jinyang:
“Isn’t this a little outrageous? This ghost place Will anyone really go?”
“Are we really not going to die?”
Liu San and Xia Hanxin fell silent after hearing Zhao Yunyun’s words. Likewise, this Peach and Plum Village is a bit outrageous, let alone the fact that there are still peaches and plums in the winter.
Just say that the sunshine falling on Taoli Village clearly told them that something was wrong and weird here, so don't go wandering around.
"Are we still going?"
At this time, Xia Hanxin asked nervously. She was not afraid of weird places like Taoli Village, but was afraid of being alone.
I heard from Zhao Yunyun and Liu San that when they delivered the letter this time, someone was already in front of them, and they came here just to eat shit.
To be honest, if the ghost post office hadn’t asked her to come too, and I heard that that person was there, she would never have come to a place like this, let alone meeting that person...< br>
She was already frightened. She felt that she could survive because her ancestors burned incense. Otherwise, how could that person let her go after killing her two friends?
“Go, why don’t you go? We are all here. We have to go whatever we say. The ghost post office is not that easy to fool.”
“Didn’t there be a messenger who was clever last time? ? When delivering the letter, he deliberately stopped in one place and let his teammates go instead of delivering the letter himself. The result was no accident. Yes, he was killed by a ghost, and his body was torn into pieces."
"If his teammates hadn't come back alive and discovered his body, no one might have known about this. "
"I don't want to die like this, with my body cut into pieces."
Hearing Liu San's words, Zhao Yunyun and Xia Hanxin felt a chill in their hearts. This chill made them both shiver at the same time.
"Well, well, let's go. Maybe by the time we go, that person has already been dealt with." Zhao Yunyun said reluctantly.
"Well, I hope so. Let's go down as soon as possible. It's not close to Taoli Village. Don't look at Taoli Village. It's very close to us. But if we really have to walk, we don't know how long it will take. Let's run to the mountain. I still know the allusion to the dead horse," Liu San said.
Zhao Yunyun and Xia Hanxin nodded, their faces full of solemnity and their eyes filled with worry. To be honest, they had never seen such a vicious person in their lives. He was simply more vicious than a ghost.
The three of them turned and left. The snow creaked under their feet, and the sound gradually faded away.
As the three people left, silence returned to the snow. The sleeping roe deer who was lying on the ground suddenly trembled and jumped up. His little head looked around, his eyes full of confusion. .
But then, as if the roe deer had forgotten something, it lowered its head and began to eat grass roots in the snow, looking very leisurely. (End of this chapter)
