Chapter 689 Strange Village(2/2)

The old man raised his turbid eyes, looked at Xi Yu, and said slowly: "There was a fortune teller a few years ago, saying that this village was unlucky, and that people living here would suffer blood disasters. So many people moved away."

He shook his head helplessly as he said, and the wrinkles on his face seemed to be getting deeper.

Xi Yu widened his eyes, his face full of disbelief, and said, "How could such a thing happen?"

He paused and asked again, "Why don't you move out?"

The old man snorted, raised his chin stubbornly, and said, "I don't believe in this evil! I have lived in this village for a lifetime, and I have never seen any ups and downs? Moreover, I have no children and no worries, so there will be disasters!"

When he said this, his eyes revealed a sense of determination and calmness.

The old man's eyes were dim, and he said, "There are some people who stay in the village now, besides myself, who are inconvenient to move."

After hearing this, Xi Yu frowned and fell into deep thought. His eyes were full of doubts, and he always felt that something must be happening here.

Tuoba Yu looked at Xi Yu and asked anxiously: "Do you want to explore it?"

Xi Yu came back to his senses and nodded firmly. Then he looked at the old man and asked politely: "Old man, then do you have any empty rooms for several of us to live in?"

The old man waved his hand and said casually: "Many houses in this village are empty, just pick them casually." His face was expressionless, as if he was numb to all of this.

In this way, Xi Yu, Tuoba Yu, Ouyang Linlin and others began to look for houses in the village.

The moonlight was like water, sprinkling on the deserted village road, placing a layer of silver on their figures.

They used flashlights and carefully shuttled between the dilapidated houses.

Every time I pass by, the closed doors and windows and mottled walls seem to tell the story of the past.

"Look here." Tuoba Yu's voice seemed particularly clear in the quiet night.

"It seems that there is a suitable one over there." Ouyang Linlin said, pointing to a house not far away.

Eventually, they found a fairly complete house.

There was an old aura in the house, and dust was flying in the moonlight.

"Just let's go, just clean up the debris on the ground." Xi Yu said, and then he started to clean up the debris on the ground.

Tuoba Yu and Ouyang Linlin also took action, and in a short while, they made a place to sleep.

Ouyang Linlin sat on a slightly clean stone, frowned slightly, and said to herself in confusion: "Why did that fortune teller say that? Is this place really unlucky, or is there any uncontrollable purpose?"

Xi Yu straightened his waist, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and said, "No matter what, let's ask in the village tomorrow."

Tuoba Yu nodded with a serious look on his face: "Well, if something goes wrong, there will be a demon."

It was getting late at night, and several people fell asleep in this simple house, full of questions in their hearts.

The next morning, the sun shone hard through the dusty windows and shone into the house where they temporarily lived.

Xi Yu and others woke up with their sleepy eyes, cleaned up briefly, and then went out to explore the secrets of the village.

When they arrived at the big tree in the village, they saw a few old men sitting on stone benches, basking in the sun silently.

Xi Yu smiled and asked respectfully: "Dear uncles and ladies, we are just here for the first time. I want to ask you about the fortune teller who said the unlucky village was going to be."

The old man looked up, his eyes full of suspicion and anxiety.

A wrinkled old man ticks his puff and says slowly: "That fortune teller is coming, and he left after a while. Who knows why he said that!"

Tuoba Yu leaned forward and asked anxiously: "Uncle, did he have any strange actions when he came, or was it specifically targeted to anyone?"

The old people looked at me, and I looked at you, and shook their heads.

Ouyang Linlin frowned slightly and said thoughtfully: "I always feel that something is strange here. Maybe someone is instructing the fortune teller behind her back."

Xi Yu touched his chin with his hand, pondered for a moment and said, "If there is this possibility, let's go somewhere else to ask."

They visited several families who still lived one after another, and there was very little useful information they could get, and a hint of frustration appeared on everyone's face.

Just as they were about to return to their residence and make plans, a middle-aged man with firewood on his back passed by them. Xi Yu quickly stopped him and said politely: "Brother, let me ask you something."

The middle-aged man put down his firewood and looked at them in confusion.

Xi Yu hurriedly explained his purpose. The middle-aged man frowned and said, "I also think that fortune teller is strange. I seem to hear people say that he has something to do with the bandit den on the mountain outside the village."

Xi Yu and others looked at each other, and their doubts became even heavier.

Xi Yu quickly clasped his fists and thanked the middle-aged man: "Thank you, brother, for telling me, don't you know more details?"

The middle-aged man shook his head and said helplessly: "I just heard this by chance, and I don't know the specific ones. However, the bandit nest has always been a big problem in the vicinity. Maybe it was their idea to attack the village."

Tuoba Yu looked angry and gritted her teeth and said, "These bandits are so hateful, they actually use such despicable means!"

Ouyang Linlin narrowed her eyes slightly and analyzed: "If this is the case, then what is their purpose? Just to occupy the village?"

Xi Yu pondered for a moment and said, "No matter what, let's start with this bandit's nest first. But this matter needs to be discussed for a long time and not act recklessly."

Everyone nodded and said yes, then returned to their residence and began to discuss the next plan.

When he returned to his residence, Xi Yu said with a serious expression: "This bandit nest must be difficult to deal with, so we have to find out their situation first."

Tuoba Yu clenched his fists and said, "What are you afraid of? At worst, you can fight with them!"
