Chapter 990 The Cursed Ancient Village
"Then the rich man Zhu is also damaged enough, he chose such a place to bury his favorite aunt and wife, what kind of person does he have to hate Hongxiu?" Na Xi burned some dead coins for her in front of the grave. Of course, this female ghost was not a good stubble when she was alive, so there is no need to kneel.
Ma Chengfeng said that cuckolding men in the old society was a big crime, even if it was to break the bones and scatter ashes. Forget it, it's fate that she can meet us, so let's help Xiaoman accumulate yin virtue!
The three of them stood in front of the grave and muttered a few more words, which roughly meant that Hongxiu would bless them with the spirit of heaven to bless them with another Eye of Amira as soon as possible, and it would not be in vain for everyone to rescue her from the quagmire in the middle of the night.
The three of them slept soundly that night, and nothing strange happened. It's just that Xiao Man had a dream, in which a very beautiful woman from the Republic of China knelt in front of her in a sexy nightdress and thanked her for saving her life, and said to her, what you are looking for is hidden in the old mansion of the Zhu family, but the descendants of the Zhu family have been guarding this treasure for generations, so they must be careful.
Xiao Man also wanted to ask Hongxiu about other clues about Ameira's Eye, but at this time, the sun rose in the east, and Hongxiu's figure slowly disappeared.
"You can't believe all the words of a female ghost, and we don't expect her to help anything, eat quickly, and enter the village after eating!" Ma Chengfeng said after listening to Xiao Man's narration.
"That is, what master can there be in this wild ravine? King Mu's tomb is dangerous, right? Didn't the three of us go back and forth? The soldiers will block the water and cover the earth, so he doesn't care so much! Na Xi also chimed in.
What the brothers said is right, there will definitely be no masters and strange people on the Loess Plateau, even if the Zhu family really has descendants guarding the Eye of Amela, with the skills of the three of them, no one can stop it. However, this time they encountered a lot of trouble during their trip to Zhujia Village, which was also due to the carelessness of the brothers now.
Overhead, the sun was shining, and the three friends walked down from the hill with their bags on their backs. Not far away, the outline of the ancient village is fully revealed. Although it has been uninhabited for more than half a century, it is not difficult to see how prosperous this place was decades ago!
The scale of Zhujia Village is very large, although it is a village, but the scale has definitely caught up with a town. Looking up and down, there is everything that should be in the ancient village, and there is even a market in the center of the ancient village, the east and west sides of the ancient village are two meters high walls surrounded by rammed earth and yellow mud, and there are defensive barriers built on the high wall, and there are turrets every other distance. The semi-arc-shaped defensive wall extends all the way to the bank of the Yellow River, and if there is a war, as long as the stone gate under the barrier is closed, it will be a man who will not open it! Unless the enemy can attack by water, but when the river is turbulent, it is impossible to take boats at all.
The three of them came from behind bypassing the waterway, so if they wanted to enter, they had to take the stone gate in front of the ancient village.
This ancient village has been untended for decades, and the semi-arc city wall has long been dilapidated, and the three of them stood at the gap in the city wall, looking at the ancient village more than half a century ago, in awe. Regardless of whether the rich man Zhu is good or evil, he is just a rich man in a few places, and he can build such a city with both offense and defense, it seems that he has capable people around him to help.
The gaps in the city wall were shelled out when Gannan was liberated, and few of the outermost buildings in the urn city were intact. A wind, the loess outside is blowing inward.
The three of them covered their mouths and noses, put on their hats, and stepped on the yellow sand step on the yellow sand to search inside.
"Is there still anyone alive in this place? What to eat? What to drink? "Then I asked.
"Huh...... It's impossible to know for sure whether the dead or the living are alive yet, but I did see someone catching fish with a lantern on the other side of the river that night. Ma Chengfeng waved his hand, and the three of them stood in a fan, each looking in one direction, except for those behind them.
Hula...... Hulala...... Suddenly, a slight voice came from behind him, and it was not ambiguous, and before his head could come back, he raised his hand and threw out the silkworm silver thread.
It turned out that the lantern hanging on the old house was blown down by the strong wind, and the paper lantern fell to the ground, rolled farther and farther, and finally rolled out along the gap in the city wall. A false alarm!
"Scared the hell out of me!"
"Huh...... Didn't you just call for a good time? What's up? Is this scary? ”
He said, "You know a six?" People are scary and scared to death, the most terrifying thing in the world is not those ghosts, but the gangsters who hide in the dark and shoot cold guns at you! ”
The wind blew incessantly through the gaps in the walls, and the movement was like a wolf crying and a ghost howling. Most of the buildings on the outskirts of the ancient village had been destroyed by artillery fire, and the three of them gradually walked into the main street. The streets are depressed on both sides, and there is lifelessness everywhere. With each step, a line of footprints is left behind, and after a few minutes, the yellow sand scraped back fills the footprints.
This ancient village is very particularly repaired, the inside is a circle, the houses are getting lower and lower from the outside to the inside, and the houses on the periphery can block the wind and sand for the inner buildings. The more the three of them walked inside, they gradually realized that this ancient village was definitely not as deserted as they imagined.
When I entered the third inner city, the yellow sand under my feet gradually decreased, and only flat ashlar stones were left under my feet. The buildings on both sides of the street are scattered and very well preserved. Most of the merchants in this area are merchants, and it is not difficult to find from the plaques hanging on the shops, don't look at Zhujia Village is just a village in the Gannan area, but there are already many distant merchants who have opened a branch here.
"Cheng Feng, look, Fengtian Club? Isn't this from our Northeast? Na Xi pointed to a small two-story building and said.
"Remarkable! Amazing! I thought that this rich man Zhu was just colluding with the warlords of Shaanxi, Gansu and Ningbo provinces, so that he would do such a big business, but he didn't expect to have dealings with the old Zhang family of Fengjun, what a shrewd businessman! ”
The scale of this ancient village was so large that Ma Chengfeng did not expect it to be so magnificent when he observed on the other side of the Yellow River that night. If he is really a wealthy businessman, then he must have resolutely invested in Zhujia Village to engage in tourism development. But the premise is that the mystery of the trickery in Zhujia Village must be solved first! Otherwise, how would any tourist dare to come?
The three of them spent a whole morning in this magnificent ancient village, which was at most a quarter of the ancient village.
Further on is the center of the entire ancient village, in many parts of our country, the center of the village is generally the ancestral hall of the big family. Zhujia Village is no exception. The ancestral hall is very well preserved, the ancestral hall courtyard is full of monuments, there are many stone tablets, the stone tablets should have recorded the great achievements of the ancestors of the main family before, but they were all artificially destroyed when they were liberated.
