"Luanshi Village? No, we are Qingtang Village." The young man shook his head, and his tone became a bit more serious, "Trust my advice! Get out of here quickly."
"Thank you for your advice, but you said that this village was cursed by evil spirits? Isn't it too ridiculous? My friend died here. I think it was murdered by people in your village." Su Jin pretended not to Believing in the appearance of the evil spirit, he also threatened to find the murderer.
The young man was taken aback, he hesitated for a moment, and then said, "I didn't lie to you, didn't you realize that your friends died in strange ways? They all drowned in places without water."
"Even if what you said is true, please tell us the reason for the curse." Hanano Mai said at this time.
"I don't know much. I only know that in every year of snow disaster, at least thirteen people in the village will be drowned. This is the fourth time this has happened."
Su Jin's heart moved, and his expression remained unchanged, "Your logic is very strange. Even if someone dies, the most important consideration should be whether someone murdered it? Why did you think of cursing?"
"Because... because I remember when I was very young, I once heard a drunken village chief say that this was a woman's curse on Qingtang Village, saying that Qingtang Village was sorry for her."
Seeing that several people were thinking about something, the young man said helplessly, "Anyway, I've already told you everything I know. If you insist on staying here, then... wish you luck!"
When the young man left, Su Jin analyzed what he had said, and he said to Guangde, "Boss Yu, I have an idea, and I would like to invite you and Mr. Yang to come with me."
"No problem." Yu Guangde agreed, and then called Yang Mo and Su Jin together.
Su Jin took the two of them to climb towards a small hill behind the ancestral hall. This small hill was the source of their drinking water before, and the spring was in the small hill.
The three of them went up the water, and after climbing for about half an hour, they found the so-called spring. Su Jin called Yu Guangde and Yang Mo to be alert, and then carefully checked the water source.
"Did you see anything?" Yu Guangde asked.
Su Jin nodded. He pointed to the water source and said, "Look at this water source. I've checked it. It's a typical underground spring. Generally speaking, the water quality of this spring is very good."
Su Jin walked to the flowing waterway and squatted down. This waterway was only a palm wide, and the water was trickling, and the water quality seemed to be clear.
He got up and looked at the surrounding trees, then led the two of them to continue wandering around the mountain, and soon saw a pond in the distance.
Compared with the spring water, the pond is located on a dark and humid side, surrounded by rotten leaves, and the water quality looks a little green, obviously a lot of moss and the like have grown.
Su Jin's ears moved slightly suddenly, and he heard a slight sound of water flowing.
"Follow me!" Su Jin beckoned to the two of them, and then looked for the place where the sound came from. The sound of the water flow was very faint. If it wasn't for Su Jin's physical transformation, her five senses would have been greatly improved. If it was quiet enough, he might not even hear the voice.
The three of them walked along the sound for a while, and the sound of water flowing in their ears became louder again, but this was because they came to the spring again, and the sound of water flowing came from the water channel flowing down the mountain.
"Could it be... did I guess wrong?" Su Jin was a little surprised, he couldn't help but put his index finger on the bridge of his nose and clicked, his eyes kept scanning the waterway, as if he wanted to find something.
"Mr. Su, what are you looking for?" Yu Guangde couldn't help asking.
"Find water."
"...Isn't this all water?" Yu Guangde was puzzled.
"This is not the water I'm looking for." Su Jin shook her head. Suddenly, he realized that something was wrong on the ground. He took out the lighter he carried with him, lit it, and shot it towards the ground. Immediately, his expression changed. .
Yu Guangde and Yang Mo looked along Su Jin's lighter, and saw a tiny, slightly darker line on the ground, as if someone painted a line with oil paint.
Su Jin stuck the lighter on the ground, and the darker color actually began to fade under the heat of the flame, which surprised Yu Guangde and Yang Mo.
"Fade?" Yang Mo couldn't help but said.
Su Jin shook his head, his expression was heavy, "So that's how it is, we have been calculated from the very beginning."
"Have been tricked? What do you mean? Who tricked us?" Yu Guangde asked again and again.
Without further ado, Su Jin took out the boning knife, and then dug down the darker area. After a few diggings with the boning knife, water seeped out immediately. It turned out that the darker area was not covered. color, but there is a small water channel below, and the color will appear darker after the soil is soaked.
"This is...!" Yu Guangde was taken aback for a moment, and he immediately looked at the pond in the distance. Judging from the direction, this waterway should extend from the waterway.
"The village head, he misled us from the very beginning, set us up, and then let us wait here to die." Su Jin frowned, if everything was planned by the village head from the beginning, then they would have to face each other I am afraid that it is not only the evil spirits, but also the malice from Qingtang Village.
"What's going on? I haven't figured it out yet." Yang Mo was still a little dazed, seeing what appeared in front of him, he really didn't know why Su Jin said that the village chief was plotting against them.
"We can basically confirm that there is a problem with the water source. Water is the medium. The evil spirits can only kill people through water. Whether it is the newcomer before, Mr. Zhang, or the newcomer who died later, they all died after drinking water. Was hunted down." Su Jin said.
"That's right, you explained this before." Yang Mo nodded.
Su Jin continued, "As soon as we entered the village and moved into the ancestral hall, the village chief said that there are three water sources in the village, spring water, ponds, and well water."
"Suppose we discover the reason why the evil spirits kill people, then we will naturally guard against water sources, and we think that the water we drink comes from spring water. If we must drink water, we will naturally avoid spring water, and drinking is isolated from spring water. source of pond water."
"But this secret channel leads the water into the spring, so in fact the water we drink in the first place is the water from the pond. If we don't find this out, and choose to drink the water from the pond, the result... still cannot escape the evil. The pursuit of the spirit."
Yang Mo finally understood, he took a breath, and said bitterly, "So that's the case, but... since we found that there is a problem with the water source, we just don't drink water. Generally speaking, the events in the Hell Manual are not too long. It’s just that without water, it doesn’t have much of an impact.”
"That's right, since we find that there is a problem with the water source, we just need to stop drinking water, and it doesn't make sense for him to plot against us!" Yu Guangde also said.
Su Jin nodded. He looked towards the pond again, and said to the two of them, "Let's go and have a look first! Maybe we can get the answer there."
The two of them didn't object, and followed Su Jin to the pond. When they reached the pond, they couldn't help covering their noses. There was a stench here, and there were many dead animals in the pond.
"Hmm!" Yang Mo was about to vomit, he quickly turned his head away and said, "When I think that some of the water we drank before came from here, I feel like vomiting."
"It's okay, just vomit if you want to vomit! Get used to it." Su Jin grinned, but although he said it lightly, he actually felt a little disgusted, and couldn't help but pinch his nose .
The pond is not that big, it only looks about a dozen meters square, and the green water seems to be a bit thick, which shows how many magazines are inside.
Su Jin squatted by the pond to observe. He dipped his fingers into a little water in the pond. It was not so much water as it was something like mucus.
"That's...!" The corners of Su Jin's eyes twitched. When he glanced over, he seemed to see something that looked like a baby's corpse in the middle of the pond, but when he turned his gaze away again, it had disappeared. .
Before Su Jin could react, in front of him, a sheep's head floated by the edge of the pond, not so much a sheep's head, but actually just a skull with horns.
Su Jin looked at the horns, and felt an inexplicable urge to pick them up, and he did so. He stretched out his hands, held a horn in each of his left and right hands, and then slowly pulled it up.
The goat horns came out of the water little by little, and Su Jin felt suffocated. He wanted to control his hands to throw away the goat horns, but he couldn't do it at all. His hands seemed to be out of his control, or as if they were being controlled by another person.
"Is that...the reason?" Su Jin struggled crazily, but her body remained motionless, and she couldn't even shout if she wanted to, as if he was just a spectator watching a very realistic movie.
The goat horns have been pulled out of the water by him little by little, followed by the white skull, but Su Jin didn't think it was over, as expected, there was a huge forehead under the skull, and a head grew on the white sheep skull Down, as if the head was wearing a hat.
"Heh... coo coo!" Su Jin tried her best to make a little noise, trying to attract the attention of Yu Guangde and Yang Mo.
"Hey...!" The goat horns were pulled up completely by Su Jin. The huge head belonged to a child, a deformed baby. The baby's face was flushed red, like a paper doll covered in red powder. It made strange noises at Su Jin. whisper.
A pair of short arms stretched out to Su Jin's neck, and then strangled it fiercely. It looked like a baby, but the strength of this monster was so great that Su Jin's face immediately turned red, as if his neck was about to be strangled.
