Chapter 39: When you are unlucky, no crow is innocent
The sun was shining in the sky, and the warm wind was blowing the grass and branches and leaves on the trees not far away. The rustling sound was mixed with the crows of crows.
"Quack, quack, quack——"
It's like a mockery of schadenfreude.
Whoosh whoosh————
Several pebbles streaked across the clear sky, flying to higher and further places.
“Quack quack quack!!!”
Behind the rows of screams were rows of crows with broken wings, falling powerlessly toward the ground.
Under the big tree, among the fallen leaves.
Nangong Yao leaned against the tree trunk and sat under the big tree, with stones in hand.
With a dark face, he asked Mu Yuanshan beside him: "Uncle Mu, do you think... isn't this unfair to the two of us?"
Mu Yuanshan sat upright, glaring fiercely, his sharp eyes vowing to penetrate the thick fog and penetrate deep into the wooden fence.
"Well, it's very unfair! No matter how you look at it, I should protect the ladies! Who the hell designed this formation-breaking method? Spiritual beings can't enter!"
At the front entrance, two guards in black who were each admiring the photos on their mobile phones coughed twice: "This formation was set up by the city lord himself!"
Mu Yuanshan turned his head and glanced at the two of them, crossing his arms.
"Well, it's very unfair! No matter how you look at it, I should protect the young ladies and the others! But since the spirits cannot be allowed to enter, it also proves that the danger level in the wooden fence will be reduced a lot! This way I can feel more at ease!"
"Haha! Do you think that just repeating what you just said can be regarded as having been said?"
…
In a world filled with thick fog, the thin Qingtan walked alone at the front with a lantern, followed cautiously by three women closely following behind.
Yun Xi felt the soft touch on her arms and said with some helplessness: "Didn't those two guards say that? There are no monsters or monsters here. The wooden fences and formations exist only to prevent those who have been cursed from running away.
Come out, or someone else goes in."
Xiao Lingyuan hugged her hand hard: "I...of course I know, I just think the fog here is too thick, and I'm afraid you will get lost!"
Besides, it’s a rare opportunity to be so close, how could you let it go so easily, hehehehe...
Xiao Lingyuan laughed evilly in her heart.
"Gulu!"
Ye Nianhan's throat moved slightly: "Me... me too."
Qingtan held a light lamp and took very small steps, so he walked very slowly.
"There are a lot of weeds here and the fog is heavy. People who are not familiar with this place can easily get lost. Please be careful and don't stay too far away from me."
Yun Xi suddenly felt her arms being held tighter.
Yun Xi had no choice but to find a way to help them relieve the tension. She said, "You haven't told me what kind of reward you need?"
"money."
Qingtan answered extremely quickly.
"money?"
His answer obviously surprised all three of them. They thought he wanted something more precious, but they were immediately relieved after thinking about it carefully.
Indeed, to an ordinary person, there is nothing more important than money.
Qing Tan glanced at the weeds around him and said, "You don't think you can grow any good vegetables in a place like this, do you?"
It is extremely difficult for vegetables and fruits to survive in such a weedy place.
He is not asking for money for himself.
"How much do you want?"
"One...one hundred thousand yuan."
"no problem."
Yun Xi did not give the money immediately, but asked: "Don't you ask us what the purpose of coming in is?"
"In the entire city of Yu Zhou, there is no place that is poorer than here. Even the slums are better than here. I am not worried about what good things you can get here."
Xiao Lingyuan curled her lips: "Are you really fifteen years old?"
"I haven't eaten well since I was a child, so I look very young. Are you envious of me?"
"I mean your tone of voice is more mature than the rest of us!"
Maybe they were walking slowly, or maybe the village was really big, but in short, they were still surrounded by withered and yellow grass, and they were dying.
"I remember the two guards just called this place the Curse Village."
The scene here reminded Yun Xi of the previous conversation.
"Ecu Village was named in recent years. The original name here was Qingxi Village."
Qingtan paused: "It's just that in these years, the grass has disappeared and the creek has disappeared."
Ye Nianhan and Xiao Lingyuan bent down and looked at each other across the small peaks on both sides of the Yunxi River.
"Xiao Xi is gone?"
Boom! Boom!
"Oh!"
"Aah!"
Two bursts of chestnuts and two screams of pain.
"You two, don't interrupt!"
Qingtan ignored what was happening behind him, but continued to explain: "After being surrounded by the thorny vines, a formation was arranged. This formation protected the people outside from being frightened, and also protected the people inside.
Don’t be bullied.”
"But that's all."
"The mist caused by the formation will disturb the environment here. The people in the village have been cursed, their bodies have shrunk, and their eyes have gone blind. Even normal life is extremely difficult for them, let alone cleaning this place."
"Over time, this place became a wasteland, and Qingxi Village eventually evolved into a cursed village due to various rumors. It means a village cursed by bad luck."
"How pitiful."
Xiao Lingyuan whispered.
Yun Xi said without comment, "To be honest, I am here to help you lift the curse."
Qingtan's footsteps stopped and he turned around. His already white skin became even paler and colorless under the thick fog, which shocked both Xiao Lingyuan and Ye Nianhan.
"In the past fifteen years, many people have said this, but no one has done it. It's too late for you to take it back now."
"If I take it back...then I don't have to give the money?"
"No. Stop dreaming. Aren't you a rich girl? How can you be so stingy?"
A series of words were spoken in less than a second, and Qingtan's attitude was extremely obvious.
Yun Xi smiled, thinking that the child was quite cute: "That's it, since the money is already destined, then the money must have some meaning."
Yun Xi's smile looked particularly dazzling in the thick fog, and Qingtan's pale face showed a little rosy. He finally understood why the two guard uncles were willing to let her go.
He turned around and continued walking forward: "Whatever you want."
His voice was still calm, but his tone was less cold.
The two delicate figures slowly bent down again.
"As expected of Xiao Xi!"
“Eat it for all ages!”
Boom! Boom!
"Aah!"
"Oh!"
Yun Xi held her forehead: "Nianhan, don't follow the example of Xiao Yuan'er and become bad!"
Xiao Lingyuan groaned: "What do you mean by following me and learning bad things? Nianhan is following the organization!"
Ye Nianhan clenched her fists, made a cheering gesture, and whispered in her gentle voice: "Long live Xiao Xi Party!"
"..."
There is no hope, not only Xiao Lingyuan, but also Ye Nianhan...
Yun Xi thought that Nangong Yao, who was waiting outside with Mu Yuanshan, might only have a waist and be a normal person!
…
"A sneeze!"
Nangong Yao sneezed lightly under the tree.
"Got a cold?"
Mu Yuanshan asked.
"Maybe some bastard is scolding me, but not necessarily?"
Nangong Yao answered.
My body suddenly felt cold for no reason.
"Maybe some eldest lady is thinking about me, maybe?"
"Haha! Do you think that just repeating what you just said can be regarded as having been said?"
