Wang Xiaocao's Fast Travel

Chapter 292 From Survival in a Thatched Hut to Natural Disaster Game 14

Wang Xiaocao learned the whole truth of the matter from the old man and sighed.

This is a tragedy caused by human greed.

A few decades ago, there was no town in this area, only a village, a very poor village. That is, the old house that has been abandoned for a long time.

Although the village was very poor, everyone was very united and harmonious. Until one day, a child discovered a collapsed hole while playing in the air-raid shelter.

Out of curiosity, the child went in, and found a different world. As luck would have it, the collapsed part of the air-raid shelter was right in front of a treasure house in a tomb. The child didn't know what gold was, but he knew it was beautiful, so he took one out and showed it off in the market.

Now, it was like stirring up a hornet's nest, and the whole village knew about it.

The villagers were all tired of poverty, so it was hard not to be tempted by such a great temptation. Fearing that something might go wrong, the village chief finally organized a treasure hunt, and almost all the young and middle-aged men went out.

"I still can't forget the scene of entering the treasure house. Even though there was no light, I could see the golden color everywhere. It was so dazzling and spectacular." The old man said.

"We are really afraid of being poor." The old man kept repeating this sentence during his narration, which shows that he was subconsciously making excuses for the bad things they had done.

Soon, the villagers who were dazzled by the gold realized that these were burial objects in a tomb. According to national regulations, these things must be handed over to the state and cannot be taken privately.

Are you willing to do so?

Needless to say, most people are reluctant to do so. Similarly, there are selfish people and upright people who put the interests of their country and family first and are unwilling to do such things.

The first disagreement in the village, one wanted to keep the treasure for himself to improve the village, the other wanted to report it to the country and make selfless contributions. Of course, only a few people chose justice, treasures are attractive, and most people can't resist the charm of money.

The two groups disagreed and quarreled over the treasure. No one knew who started it first, but the first one led to the second, and then the third, and then it got out of control.

Everyone seemed to be possessed, killing the former villagers and staining the entire treasure house with blood.

By the time everyone woke up, it was too late.

"Everyone was killing like crazy and couldn't stop at all. It was like they were possessed by a demon." One of the old men said truthfully. He was at the scene at the time and witnessed everything even though he did not take any part.

He saw with his own eyes that everyone was killing each other, no, to be more precise, it was a one-sided massacre by the side with more people. Especially the most honest people in normal times, when the fighting really started, they were the most ruthless.

The matter was a foregone conclusion and the dead could not come back to life. In order to cover up the truth, they sealed the collapsed entrance of the cave and claimed to the outside world that the tomb was destroyed and the bottom of the air-raid shelter collapsed severely, so no one was allowed to approach.

As for those who did not come back alive, they all said that the tomb was full of traps and many people died in them. They also survived many life-threatening situations.

They repeatedly stressed that these mechanisms were complicated and hard to guard against, and they did not dare to act rashly, so they were very remorseful for not being able to bring back the bodies of their fellow villagers. In order to compensate everyone, they would take out a portion of the gold to comfort the dead souls and give the dead a grand funeral.

"We will always remember their sacrifice!"

"Yes, in addition to the burial expenses, the family of each deceased person will receive a pension. If you have any difficulties, you can always ask the village for help, no matter how hard it is."

After all this, the family of the deceased was appeased. However, just in case, or perhaps for peace of mind, they took out some of the gold to build the current town.

With better places to live, who would want to live in the village? So many people moved to small towns.

However, there are always some nostalgic people who don't want to leave the place where they have lived for most of their lives, and then there are rumors that the village is about to collapse. As for who spread it, it is self-evident. Not long after, those old stubborn people had to move away.

At this point, the village was completely empty and this place became like a dangerous building.
