On this mountain range that looks like a dragon vein, there is no need to worry about being disturbed by ghosts. I also placed yellow talismans around, and the two of us fell asleep leaning against a big rock.
The bright sunlight woke us up. We rubbed our eyes and found that the weather was very good today. We stood up and breathed a few breaths of fresh air. Looking at the two undulating hills in front of us from a distance, that was the burial site mentioned by Sheng Yanyan. It was about two kilometers away. If it was flat land, it would take at most half an hour to walk there. But this was a big mountain, and we had to climb over several hills. It would probably take more than two hours.
There was still a piece of bread and two sausages left in the bag, so we shared them, and then drank half a bottle of water, and that was it for breakfast. Shen Bing pointed at the dirt on my face and frowned, asking me if it was the same on her face. In fact, it was the same as mine, but we didn't have much water left. Taihang Mountain was not like the mountains in the south, where you could see streams and springs everywhere. It was dry and full of mud and rocks. So I lied to her that it was clean and didn't need to be washed.
We walked down the hill like a pair of wild men, with disheveled hair and muddy faces, heading towards the camel hump. After climbing over a few hills, we were about to reach the bottom of the hump, and found that the mountain path was blocked by a tree trunk and was guarded by a group of villagers from the mountains.
When we asked about the situation, we found out that something happened in the village at the foot of the mountain the day before yesterday. Two children disappeared. A local witch said that the mountain god had not received any offerings for a long time, so he kidnapped the two children to eat. The witch said that we had to worship the mountain god for 49 days to resolve the disaster, otherwise the whole village would be eaten by the mountain god. During the worship period, the mountain was closed, and no one was allowed to go up except the villagers who went up to worship.
This is a deserted mountain where no one has ever set foot. The government definitely won't care, so the villagers closed the mountain road.
I almost fainted. It took us 49 days, and we finally got here in one day and one night. Is it a waste of effort? Besides, what this damn witch said was bullshit. The mountain god is still a god after all. How could he eat people? Even if we didn't offer him sacrifices for a long time, at most a few cows and sheep would be lost in the village, but no one would die.
But the pedantic villagers revered the local witch as if she were a god, and regarded her as a semi-immortal, and could not even say a bad word about her. Even if we told them the truth, they would not let us go.
Damn it, if we use force, Shen Bing and I will definitely be able to deal with them. However, the other side of the mountain is also blocked. The mountains on both sides are as steep as swords. There is only this one way. If we get up and they block us, we will just have to wait for death.
Shen Bing asked what to do? What else can we do? Let's go down the mountain. It's almost noon. Let's go down and eat first before thinking of a solution. Fortunately, it's not far from their village. It's in broad daylight. It's clear that it's indeed a village, and there are living people inside.
Shit, we're all like frightened birds.
This village is called Huaiyang Village. It is basically the same as the village in the hallucination we saw last night, except that this village is many times larger, with about 70 or 80 households. Some of them have caves built on the mountain wall. The doors and windows are in the style of the early liberation period. You can imagine how backward the villagers' thinking is. In this mountain range that looks like a dragon vein, there is no need to worry about ghosts invading. I also placed yellow talismans around, and the two of us fell asleep leaning against a big rock.
