Chapter 168
Yun Qingying frowned and immediately took out his cell phone, finding that the situation was exactly the same as theirs.
If they can't call, they can't contact people from outside, which means they are trapped here.
The woman who coaxed the child to sleep last night had finished washing and was carrying a hoe to get off the floor. Yun Qingying politely called her.
"Auntie, can I ask where is the village chief?"
The aunt paused slightly, smiled, revealing a row of white teeth, "You go out, turn left, then walk to a small hill, and turn right, and the village chief's house is not far away." After saying that, she seemed to be afraid that Yun Qingying would ask anything more, so she quickly turned around and left.
Yun Qingying looked at her back and gave a little exploration.
"What?" Gao Yixing became a little panicked.
"It seems that something is wrong." Yun Qingying stood up and said firmly, "Let's go, let's go to the village chief's house."
Wang Defa was still having breakfast. When he saw Yun Qingying and the other two, he smiled like a flower to greet him.
"We wanted to go out for a walk, but there was no signal in the village. Do you know the village chief know what's going on?" Yun Qingying made it straight to the point and explained his purpose.
Wang De smiled a little stiffly, but he still smiled hard, "This... I don't surf the Internet much, so I don't understand it very much. You know, our equipment here is behind, and sometimes it's normal not to have an Internet."
"You can go around the village. The road out of the village was blocked by a landslide. It's hard to leave now! I'm worried about this! I have to find someone to repair it!" Wang Defa started to feel sad.
Yun Qingying saw that she couldn't find out anything, and the village chief seemed to be deliberately stopping them from leaving the village. There was no way, so she could only take two other people away.
Wang Defa seemed very sorry and apologized with a smile, "I'm so embarrassed to let you suffer."
"What should we do next?" Gao Yixing originally thought of attending an insignificant exchange meeting, just like a traveler, but now he is trapped here, no one is in a good mood.
Yun Qingying didn't answer him and returned silently. Not long after, she met a group of children playing and quarreling on the not-wide path. One of the children quickly recognized Yun Qingying as the beautiful sister who gave him candy food last night, and ran over to say hello to her, "Hello, beautiful sister."
"Hello." Yun Qingying stretched out a piece of jade hand, gently touched his hair, and then took out a handful of colorful candies from his pocket, which made the child craving.
She deliberately increased the volume so that the other children could hear it clearly, "Sister now has something to know. If anyone of you answers, I will give this handful of candy to anyone." Her tone was a bit tempting, and with that handful of candy, almost all the children began to be moved and asked happily, "What's the question?"
"Have you been holding any special events in the village recently? It seems that during this period, no one in the village can contact the outside world."
When I heard this question, the children who were very excited were a little depressed and looked embarrassed, but one of them still couldn't help but temptation and replied loudly, "I know! It's the Sacrifice Festival recently! People can only enter and not leave during the festival. But today is good, sister, don't worry."
Yun Qingying gave him all the candy in his hand without hesitation, took out more, and continued to ask, "Why is it better after today? Whoever answers will have candy!"
This time, another child answered faster, "Because that young lady will be contributed tonight, and there will be nothing to do then."
Yun Qingying gave her the candy, and her delicate little face was a little confused, "Which young lady? Was it the one who was placed in the ancestral hall yesterday?"
The children nodded unanimously.
In the end, Yun Qingying gave each of them a piece of candy and told them not to tell anyone what happened just now. The children happily received the candy and left running and jumped away.
Gao Yixing couldn't help but admire Yun Qingying's observation subtlety, "Sister Yun, it seems that Xiaofang's death is not simple as you said." But he was more worried, "But what should we do now? You can't just sit still, right?"
Yun Qingying nodded. Although they were not from the same sect as Buddhism, they were kind-hearted and cared about the world, at least they had no reason to sit idly by the evil things in front of them.
Yun Qingying's red lips curled up slightly, and there was her own thoughts in her eyes, "Didn't they say it's evening? Then let's wait till evening. You sneak out while the villagers are not paying attention, and then gather outside my room."
Some people seem to be born leaders. Gao Yixing agreed to her proposal without thinking. Liu Qixian was depressed and had no objection.
They were separated at the intersection.
In the evening of that day, every household seemed to become a little nervous. The villagers took farm tools home before dark, turned off the lights and closed the house, and the children were not allowed to stay outside.
Yun Qingying sat on the small stool and asked casually, "Auntie, what's wrong with this today? Why are everyone so abnormal?"
Yun Qingying sat short, and the aunt didn't see her at first. After she spoke, she was shocked, "No, nothing. It's said that there was a strong wind tonight, so she was afraid of being injured, so she came back early."
"All the villagers are at home." In order to make her behavior look less abnormal, she added.
She was deliberately hiding something, and Yun Qingying didn't ask, but soon, the group of people passing by the window overturned her words.
An old woman wearing a Taoist robe and hunched body, singing some weird songs in a hoarse voice, followed by about a dozen younger men and women, and the strong men in the middle seemed to be carrying some big bags in their hands.
Some of them were ringing bells, and some were knocking on bamboo boards in their hands, as if they were holding some mysterious ceremony.
Yun Qingying smiled and looked at the woman who was at a loss in front of her, "What's going on with these people?"
It was already dark, and Yun Qingying couldn't see her facial expressions clearly, but she could probably guess that it was not very good-looking.
The aunt stammered for a while, but didn't say anything. Finally, she slapped her forehead and seemed to remember something. Her voice was excited, "Oh, look, I forgot my memory. That's the witch in the village, who is responsible for praying for peace. If there is no strong wind tonight, it's up to her." After that, she left here without looking back, and before leaving, she didn't forget to remind her again, "Little girl, I advise you not to go out either. There is danger outside."
But where can she stop Yun Qingying?
