Chapter 518 Weird Village
Even if they accidentally ingested poisonous mushrooms, so many people accidentally ingested them and so many people died, it is impossible for the authorities to just ignore it.
A few people talked about the current situation in the village. Originally, there were 316 permanent residents in the village, excluding those who worked outside the village or went to school. A total of 57 people died in the past few months.
Many people were so scared that they moved away or hid at their relatives' homes, and now there are just over 100 people left.
Li Jun and Yan Junge walked around the village and found that it was just as the village chief said. They called to ask, but no one could explain it clearly.
After returning to the village office, Yan Junge pondered what the village chief had just said, "If you can manage it, send more people. If you don't want to manage it, hurry up and leave!"
"Old Li, why do I feel like the village chief has something else in his words? He seems to know who did it, but he can't do anything about it."
Li Jun nodded. "I feel the same way. The villagers' attitude is also problematic. Their relatives died inexplicably, so they wanted to run away or swallow their anger. No one wanted to report the case and seek justice."
"It's said that no one cares after reporting it! There must be someone above suppressing it." Yan Junge sat on the edge of the kang with a serious expression, "We have to find the village chief again, he must know something!"
The two of them left the village office again. Before they reached the village chief's house, the village chief came to find them first. His meaning was very simple: if there was nothing else, just leave! He was just short of saying that he disliked them!
It was impossible to leave like this, not only did they not leave, they also wanted to go up the mountain to have a look. As early as when they were wandering around the village, they heard about punishment and sacrifice from the mountain god.
When the village chief heard that they were going up the mountain, he looked at them in shock, his expression changing unpredictably, and finally waved his hand, "People like you are no match for them at all, just leave! The farther you go, the better!"
“…” Something happened!
Yan Junge thought about all the weird things that happened recently, and knew that the ordinary village chief would never tell the truth. He took a look at the rope on his wrist, stopped talking nonsense, and pulled it out. The rope automatically untied itself from the shape of a bracelet, as if it was alive, and directly wrapped around the village chief several times, tying him up.
He raised his chin with some pride, "Village Chief, this is a fairy-binding rope, it can bind any demon or monster, just tell me the truth!"
The village chief struggled hard, but the red rope around his body became tighter and tighter, as if it were alive! His eyes widened, he could hardly believe it, but it was really happening.
"Village chief, I'm not just a simple soldier. I can catch ghosts and monsters with ease!"
Finally, as if he had made up his mind, the village chief nodded and said, "Okay, I'll tell you!"
Li Jun secretly gave Yan Junge a thumbs up. This is what is called, fighting superstition with superstition.
"Since half a year ago, people started to die in the village. The first one was an old cow at the east end of the village. He was almost 90 years old, which is considered a very old age in the village. It is also called a happy funeral. Many people came and more than 40 tables were set up."
"Starting from the seventh day after Lao Niutou's death, people started to have accidents one after another. They fell from the mountain, fell into the ditch, and later died of poisonous mushrooms."
The village chief shook his head and sighed, "So many people died, and several waves of people came to investigate, but they couldn't find out the cause. Just a few months ago, a group of strange people in black clothes suddenly came down from the mountain. They asked us to send the bodies up the mountain and not to burn or bury them."
"I wanted to secretly bury our Niuniu, but the man in black just sent me a letter asking me to deliver her to the mountain before dark!"
The village chief wept bitterly as he handed over the note. It was a piece of paper with two words written in brush: "Go up the mountain!"
"There is a mountain temple on the mountain. No one has worshipped there for many years. After that group of weirdos showed up, smoke rose from the mountain again and incense was burned!"
Suddenly, the village chief seemed to have thought of something and grabbed Yan Junge's hand. His old, calloused hand was very strong and he said, "Tell me, is it because we disrespected the mountain god that the god was angry and sent down a punishment!!!"

After seeing off the village chief, Yan Junge and Li Jun had a brief discussion, "Old Li, how about gathering the personnel? When can they arrive?"
Li Jun took a pencil and wrote on the notebook, "Including the Cheetah Team and our people, there should be at least 50 people who have set out and can reach the outside of the village before dark."
"Xia Zhihao and the others have already arrived and can come over anytime!"
"Look, these are the three entrances to the mountain. They have all been repaired. Of course, other wild roads will also be guarded. The mountain temple is here. Our people should be concentrated here. If we move forward at full speed, we can reach the mountain within an hour and surround the mountain temple on three sides!"
Yan Junge stared at the location of the mountain temple in a daze, "How big is this place? How many people can it accommodate?"
"It's not big, just a small, dilapidated temple surrounded by a wall, about 70 or 80 square meters. There is a place for worshippers and burning incense in the front yard, and there are two rooms in the back yard." Li Jun took out another photo. It was indeed a small and dilapidated place.
As he was talking, the village chief knocked on the door in a hurry, "Leader, leader, they sent another letter asking us to move up the mountain immediately. What do you think I should do?"
Yan Junge and Li Jun looked at each other, and the former said quickly, "Village chief, find me a piece of clothing. I will blend in with the people carrying the coffin and go up with you to take a look!"
Li Jun immediately jumped off the kang and disagreed, "No, it's too dangerous. We should go together so that we can take care of each other!"
Before they could come to a conclusion, the village chief urged, "Hey, stop discussing it, hurry up!"
After thinking it over again, Yan Junge nodded, "Okay, let's go together!" After giving him a wink, Li Jun immediately sent a message to Xia Zhihao.
After getting the reply, the two men put on two old coats found by the village chief and put on a big hat. If you didn't look closely, you would really not be able to recognize them.
Without wasting any time, the village chief was carrying a basket in front, scattering handfuls of paper money from time to time. In the basket were three bowls of food and a bottle of wine.
Four strong men carried the small coffin. It was not as heavy as imagined, but it was up a mountain after all, so walking was not easy.
After walking in silence for nearly two hours, I finally saw the shadow of the mountain temple while panting.
At this moment, a man ran out of the temple. The village chief came over and asked in a low voice, "Sixth Uncle, why are you here?"
The man called Uncle Six seemed to be younger than the village chief, and he looked frightened. "Send your Aunt Six up the mountain. I'm leaving now. Don't waste time. Go quickly and come back soon!"
After saying that, he trotted down the mountain. Yan Junge winked at Li Jun. Seeing that he nodded in agreement, Yan Junge took decisive action, grabbed Uncle Six's collar and pushed him against a tree trunk. "Tell me, what's inside?"
The village chief hurried over, anxious and irritable, and finally stamped his feet, "Sixth Uncle, please tell me, this is the leader sent by the higher-ups, they are here to help us investigate the case! Please tell me!"
Uncle Liu recognized him as a stranger who had appeared in the village before, and looked at the village chief, "San Dunzi, what are you talking about? They can check it all, hurry up, don't waste time!"
