Chapter Fourteen. Youshui Village

As soon as we entered the village, our eyes suddenly became brighter.

Jiang Yang thought to himself: Now he has finally found a safe spot.

Looking towards the village, the entire village is lined with mulberry trees and rows of houses. There are at least hundreds of households, as well as restaurants, blacksmith shops and so on. It is fully equipped.

There is a large Huangtuping Square in the center, and a stage has been set up. At this time, a theater troupe was singing on the stage.

A huge old locust tree stands behind the stage. Most of the houses in the village are built around this square, and they are all made of adobe and wood. There is only one road leading to the north, and there is a white wall and black area to the north.

Wa's manor looks very impressive from a distance.

Jiang Yang asked curiously: "Uncle Wu, where is that place?"

"That's Zhuangzi of the Yan family." Foreman Wu explained, "The Yan family's ancestors were officials and they are a prominent family in our Suhe County. The village leaders of our Youshui Village are also from the Yan family."

The Yan family? Jiang Yang's eyes continued to pay attention to the courtyard in front, and then he looked back.

He originally thought that Youshui Village was just a small village, but now it seems that it is not small at all. This place has everything, and it is indeed worth staying here for a while.

However, there are not many posts mentioning ghosts and ghosts on the forum. I have only been here two days and I have encountered two ghosts one after another. I don’t know if it is because I am “too lucky” or if there are other reasons.

But they all say that this place is not as peaceful as the current world, and it is understandable that there are more dangers.

In any case, it is better to be careful about this aspect in the future. It is best to live in the village first and improve your strength.

Continuing to walk in, on the loess road in the village, two porters carrying burdens were walking over. When they saw Foreman Wu and others, they rushed forward with surprise on their faces.

"Uncle Wu, what's going on?"

The two people's surprised sounds immediately attracted the attention of many surrounding villagers, who also rushed over.

"Uncle Wu, Third Son, Uncle Fulin, what happened to them?"

"Is this an encounter with a wild animal?"

Not long after, many people gathered at the entrance of the village. Wu Zhong looked at the crowd in front of him and sighed: "He was killed by a ghost."

"A ghost!?"

At this time, a group of craftsmen placed the corpses on the square, six in total, and the bells of "dang, dang" rang in the village, and villagers in twos and threes slowly gathered around.

"Poisoned by ghosts?"

"Where's the ghost?"

People around started talking a lot.

Jiang Yang looked at these people, traders and lackeys, all dressed up. Some were talking, and some left the crowd to report news. For a while, the whole village was like a vegetable market, crowded with people.

At this time, a young man came from the crowd. When he saw the body on the ground, his face turned pale instantly.

He threw himself on the corpse and cried: "Dad! Daddy!"

"Third son, my third son!" A woman wearing linen clothes walked out of the crowd.

Bodies are being claimed one after another,

More and more people are gathering towards this place.

There are at least a hundred households in the village. Even if there is only one person in each household, there must be around a hundred people.

Gathered together in an instant, Jiang Yang saw so many people for the first time, all kinds of people, men, women, old and young.

"What harmed my third son?" The woman wiped her tears and said angrily, "I will fight it!"

"Yes, Uncle Wu, tell me, the third son, Uncle Fulin, Uncle Sheng, Brother Ding... have killed so many people in our village, even if it is a big insect, we will kill it!" For a moment,

There were people in the village who were very excited.

When Foreman Wu saw this, he could only explain loudly: "They were all harmed by the ghosts of Lingwei Temple last night."

"Lingwei Temple?"

"I heard that that place is haunted, is it true?"

"What a bird temple, I'm going to smash it!"

Jiang Yang watched from the sidelines. Some people looked excited, while others were watching and talking. There were all kinds of people.

At this time, the crowd at the rear suddenly parted. From the crowd, a group of farmers and militiamen came out, surrounded by a woman in a black silk skirt who was more than 20 years old.

"What happened?" The woman stepped forward and asked.

Although the sound was not loud, the whole place quickly became quiet, as if there was a backbone.

"Miss Yan!"

Yan Jiang Yang was secretly surprised at the side, is this the person who came from that manor? He is indeed from a wealthy family, and his aura is completely different from that of these villagers.

"What happened?" The woman's red lips opened slightly. Although her voice was not loud, the whole place quickly became quiet, as if she had a backbone.

Jiang Yang saw the crowd gathered around him. Foreman Wu showed a rare look of respect, as if he was explaining something, and looked over here from time to time.

The woman also glanced in this direction, her previously calm expression soon turned into a frown.

Foreman Wu was explaining in front of the woman. After a while, he saw Miss Yan's face slightly brightened.

She comforted the family members of the deceased in a low voice, and asked them to take the bodies back, and then glanced here: "In that case, Uncle Wu, please don't neglect the guests, I will handle the matters here.

"

Foreman Wu repeatedly said yes, and then walked towards Jiang Yang.

He said: "Brother Jiang, are you tired after having been making trouble for so long? Let's go eat something first and rest."

"Okay!" Jiang Yang originally thought that since six people died in this village, there might be a commotion for a while, but he didn't expect it to end so quickly.

He glanced at the other end again with some surprise: "Is that the young lady from the Yan family?"

"Yes." Foreman Wu said with a smile, "Tai Gong Yan has two sons and one daughter, who are the current eldest master, Miss Yan and the young master of the Yan family."

"We are such a big village and we rely on them for many things. Little brother Jiang will see you if you stay here for a while."

Jiang Yang nodded slightly, looking thoughtful.

Then Foreman Wu whispered again: "In a few days, our village will hold an autumn festival. If you are fine, Brother Jiang, why not stay here for a while and watch the excitement."

Autumn Festival? He was a little surprised. Are the seasons here different from those in the real world? Then he suddenly thought that all the plums he saw on the roadside had fallen, and it seemed that autumn was coming.

It’s only July 8 in this world, so it should be different.

"Is this okay?" Jiang Yang asked in surprise.

"This is what Miss Yan meant." Foreman Wu quickly explained with a smile.

That Miss Yan? He glanced at the other end again in surprise, thinking to himself that he had nowhere to go anyway, so it wouldn't hurt to stay here for a few more days.

It just so happens that you can increase your strength and understand the situation at the same time.

He nodded: "Thank you very much."



The place where Foreman Wu lives is just northeast of the village. It is also a house made of mud bricks and wood, but it is slightly larger than other houses.

Foreman Wu also has a son at home, who is two years older than Jiang Yang.

Fortunately, there were enough rooms in the house, so Jiang Yang was arranged in the inner room on the west side.

After eating, it was almost completely dark. Jiang Yang washed up with hot water and went to bed.

This is probably the first time he has slept in this world, and he is still staying in someone else's house, so he really has an inexplicable and strange feeling in his heart.

There is a wooden canopy bed with a new gauze hanging around it. Maybe it was specially prepared for fear of mosquitoes in this weather.

He took off the mahogany sword and put it on the bedside. He touched his arms and saw that the blood-patterned jade was still there. He got a rope and put the jade on and hung it around his neck. Such a precious thing could not be accidentally dropped.

Then go to the character panel.

Name: Jiang Yang

Age:16

Title: Strange Man (Spell Power 1)

Kung Fu: None

Skills: None

Talent: Tomb Sacrifice (Psychic 2), Turtle Life (Internal Strength Talent 3)

Items: Blood-patterned Jade (Psychic 1), Broken Peach Wood Sword, Weird Sword Manual, Silver Liang (8)

He hasn't learned the sword manual yet, but he is not in a hurry. He will take a good rest today and recharge his batteries. He can take a good look at it and practice it early tomorrow morning.

Moreover, you may be able to take the opportunity to explore this village. Although you cannot stay for a long time, if you can explore a few tasks and obtain some items that will be helpful to you, you will be more confident in protecting yourself after leaving here.

After all, there is an old lady outside the village waiting to treat me to milk tea, so I can't be careless.

Thinking like this, Jiang Yang felt his eyelids gradually becoming heavy.

It's time to sleep.

He closed his eyes and felt a deep darkness coming over him.

He fell asleep in an instant.

When I woke up, it seemed that it was already bright.

The sunlight filtered in through the papered windows, which was a bit dazzling.

Jiang Yang subconsciously covered his eyes with his hands, stretched his waist vigorously, and then slowly opened his eyes.

I had a really comfortable sleep this night!

After putting on his clothes, he walked towards the door. At this time, he saw Foreman Wu already preparing to go out.

"Uncle Wu, are you going to work again today?"

"Of course." Foreman Wu grinned, "There are still a lot of people in the village who are pointing at us for food, so we can't do it unless we start work."

"Is it so urgent?" Jiang Yang frowned. Thinking about it, he is the foreman, and many people must be waiting for him to start work. But looking outside the village, "Then... what to do with those things?"

"Don't worry about that," Foreman Wu said, "We usually go out with a large group of people. If there are many people, we can drive it away. And it's broad daylight, so the thing won't stay there forever."

Can people be driven away if there are too many people? Jiang Yang thought to himself, this was quite reassuring.

This shows that it is not as difficult to deal with as the red ghost.

From the looks of it, if you encounter this thing during the day, it can be regarded as a little monster among ghosts?

However, things like ghosts, even small monsters, are not something that ordinary people can deal with.

"It's so early in the morning, let's not talk about this anymore." Foreman Wu continued, "How did little brother Jiang sleep last night?"

"Slept well."

"That's good, that's good."

Jiang Yang glanced into the room: "Where is Brother Yuan?"

Wu Yuan is Uncle Wu’s son.

"I went out to do some work early in the morning."

"Uh." Jiang Yang looked embarrassed, looking like he was just a slacker.

I heard Foreman Wu say that his son is only two years older than him, and he is almost independent now.

In comparison, I live a very comfortable life.

In this atmosphere, Jiang Yang felt that he had to step up.
