Chapter 517 The whole village of Japanese people
After the carriage had moved away from the villagers, Feiyue side-glanced at Ah Fu and asked, "Just now I seemed to hear you say this village is weird. Did something strange happen?"
Those villagers did not sleep well at home, but ran outside in the middle of the night to block the road, apparently looking for someone.
When they rushed over, they all looked ferocious and vicious, and it was obvious that they wanted to capture them immediately. However, after hearing that they were going to Dongjiling to catch ghosts, everyone's attitude changed instantly.
There must be something fishy about this.
"To be honest, I'm originally from this village. However, it wasn't called Xiaoying Village before, but..."
Xiaoying Village was originally named Dongling Village, and is located at the foot of Dongjiling Mountain.
Seven years ago, Dongjiling was suddenly haunted.
At first, the haunting only happened at night, and only intermittent strange noises were heard from the mountains.
But later, many cases of people disappearing due to getting up at night occurred in the village. Later, anyone who did not return home after dark would disappear.
The villagers were in a panic, worried that they would be the next victims, so they moved away one after another. It was also at that time that Ah Fu and his family moved to the city.
Feiyue was surprised. "Since everyone in your village has moved away, then those people just now were all villagers from the neighboring village?"
"Not really."
Ah Fu shook his head. “A year after we moved away, when I came back with my family to pay respect to our ancestors, I discovered that the village had been renamed at some point, and that the village, which was supposed to be empty, was now full of people again.
“I once asked villagers from the next village, but no one knew when they moved to the village, let alone where they were from.
"Their clothing is similar to that of ordinary farmers, but the strange thing is that they rarely leave the village, and even if they do, they hardly talk to people from other villages."
Feiyue was shocked. "An entire village appeared out of nowhere. This is too outrageous, right? The local government doesn't care?"
"No, isn't this Princess Pingyang's fiefdom? When something like this happened, was it reported to her, or was it reported to her but she didn't handle it?"
The three people in the car were equally shocked.
Shen Wanwan suddenly thought of Lao Hu Wei and asked casually, "Ah Fu, do you know a middle-aged man named Lao Hu Wei?"
Ah Fu was driving the carriage, and the wind was too loud to hear Shen Wanwan's question clearly. Fei Yue repeated the question, "My master wants to ask if you know a man named Lao Hu Wei."
"Lao Huwei? I recognize him. We are both from Dongling Village."
Ah Fu nodded repeatedly, "However, he and his family went to another place more than ten years ago. I don't know what happened, but he returned to the village alone last year.
"He lived in the village for about half a year, and then he moved to Yong'an City with his wife. I ran into him by chance on the street and we just chatted for a few minutes."
"Has he ever told you about the situation in the village?" Shen Wanwan's voice was a little louder this time.
“He mentioned it, but it was mostly complaints. He said he had finally returned to the village and thought that he could barely make ends meet by inheriting the land from his ancestors, but he discovered that not only his house had been occupied by others.
"There were hundreds of people in the entire village, but he didn't know a single one. He didn't know who to turn to for justice. However, he was lucky to have saved a Taoist priest with some skills..."
……
A quarter of an hour later, at the foot of Dongjiling Mountain.
The carriage slowly stopped.
Afu tightened the reins and said, "Princess, let's..."
"If you can't speak, then shut up. My master and the prince haven't even had their wedding ceremony yet. You're clearly ruining her reputation by calling her like that!" Feiyue was a little angry.
If he hadn't just asked and answered her questions in a good manner, she would have beaten him up.
Her master is a virgin, and he calls her princess directly. Is that polite?
Although the master and the prince will get married sooner or later, that is a matter of time. What does it have to do with now?
Ah Fu's face was full of grievance, "Little one..."
It's okay for Lord Hyun Bin to shout like that, why doesn't it work for him?
"What do you mean by 'you'? If you have the guts, try calling another one and see if my fist is hard enough."
Canglang came out of the carriage and patted Ah Fu's shoulder sympathetically.
Feiyue is a chatterbox. In their secret guard team, no one can match her when it comes to quarreling.
When Ye Tianlan came out of the car, he first glanced at Ah Fu coldly. After landing, he looked at Feiyue twice more, his eyes full of approval.
Canglang noticed Ye Tianlan's expression and broke out in a cold sweat.
No wonder Young Master Ye looked at him with an expression that made him want to kill him when he looked at him before. It turned out that this was the reason!
However, the master and Miss Shen will get married sooner or later. He is just adapting to the life with the mistress in advance. Is there anything wrong with that?
After getting off the carriage, Shen Wanwan looked towards Ah Fu and said, "My last name in Nanyao is Shen. You can just call me Miss Shen."
"Okay, princess. I'll remember this."
Shen Wanwan: “…”
other people:"……"
Ah Fu regretted the moment he said that.
He cautiously glanced at Shen Wanwan, and secretly breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that she was not angry.
Shen Wanwan didn't dwell on the name. "Wait here. Remember, if anything goes wrong, saving your life is the most important thing."
"Yes, little one, take the order."
Shen Wanwan looked at Canglang and said, "Lead the way, let's go up the mountain now!"
Canglang immediately perked up, "Miss Shen, please follow me."
He glanced at Ye Tianlan secretly, and emphasized the word "Shen" very much, so that he wouldn't want to attack him again.
Ye Tianlan was looking around and didn't notice Canglang's little movement.
Shen Wanwan took a step forward and asked, "What's wrong? Did you discover something?"
"It's okay, let's go."
Ah Fu stayed behind to guard the carriage, while the others followed Canglang up the mountain.
Canglang and Ye Tianlan walked in front, Shen Wanwan followed closely behind, and Feiyue walked at the end.
The mountain road was difficult to walk on. Even with the night pearl in hand, the group did not walk fast because of the rumor that Dongjiling was haunted.
After walking along the mountain road for a while, Ye Tianlan suddenly stopped when passing by a strange rock, and at the same time called out to Canglang who was continuing to move forward.
"Master Ye, we haven't arrived yet..."
Ye Tianlan ignored him, turned slightly sideways, looked to the left and back, but said nothing more.
Shen Wanwan and Feiyue also stopped immediately, followed Ye Tianlan's gaze, and frowned.
Someone is approaching!
A moment later, a familiar figure emerged from the darkness. "Great that you're here!"
Feiying walked quickly up to the group, holding a woman in his hand.
"Oh!"
Chen Qianru was thrown to the ground like a dead dog.
“This is damn…”
Feiying wanted to swear, but suddenly swallowed the curse word that was about to blurt out and bowed to Shen Wanwan, "This subordinate greets Miss Shen."
His voice was slightly panting, his clothes were a little messy, a strand of hair hung in front of his forehead, and his face was bruised.
"what happened?"
Shen Wanwan looked in the direction the eagle came from, and had a bad feeling in her heart, "Did Xie Moxuan get into trouble too?"
When they came out of the princess's mansion, Xuan Bin told her that Xie Moxuan and Feiying left the city together. Now only Feiying was seen, and he looked quite embarrassed, but there was no sign of Xie Moxuan. It was hard not to think too much.
Feiying took a breath and said, "When I separated from Master Xie, he was fine, but it has been several hours since then..."
After he found Chen Qianru's whereabouts, he and Xie Moxuan left the city and chased her all the way to the vicinity of Dongjiling. They saw Chen Qianru following the villagers of Xiaoying Village into the village.
In order to avoid harming innocent villagers, the two men did not force their way into the village to take the people away, but followed them in secretly.
Soon after the two entered the village, they vaguely sensed something strange about it.
The villagers' clothing and appearance are no different from those of ordinary people, but their speech and behavior are not like those of normal villagers.
"How could ordinary villagers stay at home all day without going out to work? And their accents sounded a bit strange, but we didn't pay much attention to it. After all, the locals' accents are somewhat different from those in the capital.
"But we discovered that the villagers not only knew Chen Qianru, but actually obeyed her orders."
Feiyue reacted quickly, "According to what you said, the entire village has been instigated by the Japanese, and all the villagers have become Japanese spies in our Nanyao Kingdom?"
Shen Wanwan shook her head, "Perhaps, they are Japanese themselves."
Feiying nodded. "Master Xie also thought so. So, we took advantage of Chen Qianru being alone and captured her. Master Xie asked me to take her back to the Princess's Mansion in Yong'an City first and bring enough men to clear out the village. He himself went to Dongji Ridge to look for his master."
