Sure enough, Tang Si and Song Ci soon saw the face mentioned by the girl in the pleated skirt at the bottom of the water.

Under the emerald green river, among the black mud, there was a pale face with half-closed eyes, and the facial features were clearly visible. The most creepy thing was that there was a weird smile on the corner of the lips of that face.

Even in the warm spring sun, a layer of cold sweat broke out on Song Ci's back instantly.

Only Tang Si didn't change his face, calmly borrowed the bamboo pole from the boatman's hand, and poked straight at that face.

Crowd:! ! !

The water was rippling, that face was poked under the mud by the bamboo pole, and was picked out of the water with the backhand.

"Crack!" A wet round black shadow broke through the water and landed on the bamboo raft.

"Ahhh!" the girl in the pleated skirt saw the head-like thing, and immediately hugged the long, straight black beauty beside her and screamed.

Several bamboo rafts carrying boys in POLO shirts and school uniforms were approaching one after another, and they were all taken aback when they saw this.

After the thing came out of the water, Song Ci saw the clue, calmed down, and comforted the pleated skirt, "Don't be nervous, it's not a human head."

Not a human head?

Everyone looked again carefully, only to find that it was a strangely shaped spherical object with a white mask stuck on it, eyes half-closed, blood-red lips, and a smile on the corner of the mouth.

What is this stuff? ? ?

"It turned out to be a stream of lights for sacrifices." The boatman on the bamboo raft in the pleated skirt suddenly realized when he saw the mask that fell on the head of the bamboo raft.

"For sacrifice?" Everyone looked at the boatman suspiciously. Isn't this too scary?

"Well, this kind of lamp stream is specially made for sacrifices. Everyone in the village must carry one lamp when participating in the sacrifice. The masks on it are divided into three types, god's face, human face and animal face. According to the rules, in After the sacrifice, the god's face needs to be thrown off the cliff, the human face needs to be thrown into the bottom of the water, and the animal face is burned directly." The boatman explained, and then showed a puzzled look at the mask, "However, everyone usually throws the human face away. If you enter the Liuli Lake in the back mountain, you will not throw it into the Saoxia River."

Song Ci squatted down, picked up the thing and looked at it.To put it bluntly, it is a spherical lantern with a white mask glued on it, but it is very delicately made, it looks solid at first glance, after shaking, air holes the size of teacup mouths appear up and down.Moreover, it is much heavier than ordinary paper lanterns, and it is heavy to carry in the hand.

The girl in the pleated skirt was relieved, and waved her hand exhaustedly, "It doesn't matter how it came about, as long as it's not something strange."

When she saw it for the first time just now, Hun'er was almost scared away.

The others looked at the strange dangling mask in Song Ci's hand and said nothing, feeling a strange and ominous premonition in their hearts.

After this episode, the leisurely mood of everyone in the tour group was broken, and they no longer had the interest to play, and their interest faded. It didn't take long before they hurried back to the pier.

The dinner menu is not rich, they are all home-cooked dishes, but the taste is unexpectedly delicious, everyone eats a lot.Even the girl in the pleated skirt who originally claimed to want to lose weight couldn't help filling the second bowl.

After dinner, the tour guide told everyone to sleep well at night and not to go out when they heard strange noises.

Thinking of the old Zhang who melted away in the morning, everyone couldn't help but shudder.

Tang Si and Song Ci made up their minds to investigate after hearing the strange noise at night, so after dinner, Song Ci decided to take a nap first to recharge his batteries.

Of course, in the eyes of the rest of the people, his behavior of going to sleep after eating made people feel more and more unreliable.

It was Tang Si who met with everyone, and everyone gathered the news they had collected that day.

In fact, there is not much news, and it can be roughly divided into several types.

First of all, it is related to the village itself.There are only three and a half places in Fu'an Village that can be called scenic spots.

One is the village itself, a living fossil-like quaint architectural community;

The second is that there is a 21-storey square four-sided pagoda on the top of the mountain. It is said that it has been around for thousands of years, but the pagoda is solid and cannot be entered. You can only look at it from the outside;

The third is the ancient tomb that made Fu'an Village famous. The underground palace on the outermost layer of the ancient tomb has been opened, and they will be able to enter the underground palace for sightseeing at the end of the sacrifice they will participate in tomorrow.The last half is the Saoxia River, which they have already visited in the afternoon. Because of the lack of humanistic color, it is counted as half.

Based on these three and a half scenic spots, plus special farm dishes, the sightseeing tour of Fu'an Village planned by the tour group usually lasts for four days and three nights.

In other words, according to the normal process, they will leave here in three days, and it is impossible to stay for as long as twelve days.

The unbelievable time difference made the black long straight beauty and the pleated skirt girl a little uneasy when they heard the news.

The man in the polo shirt and the curly-haired man didn't dare to go out alone, and inquired about the development of the village from the hotel staff.

The ancient tombs in the village were discovered more than [-] years ago, but it has been two or three years since they were actually developed into tourism projects.

A project manager of a tourism development company learned about the ancient tomb from a girl who married out of Fu'an Village, and came to visit the village head overjoyed.

It is said that in order to convince the village chief and the others, the project manager came to their remote village no less than ten times. Later, the project manager and the accompanying assistant driver encountered an accident when they were leaving the village and passed away.Only then did the village chief change his mind, defy all opinions, and agreed to the development of this project.

Although the village does have a lot of income from the arrival of tour groups, there are still a small number of stubborn villagers who do not want to contact foreign tourists.

The boy in the school uniform didn't hear too much information. He met a gray-haired mother-in-law in a strange dress on the mountain road. The mother-in-law accidentally broke her leg. The boy in the school uniform took a lot of effort to carry her back home. .

Before leaving, the mother-in-law grabbed his hand tightly and said three words repeatedly, "fire, break, en."

But the boy in school uniform had no idea what she was talking about.

Everyone was confused after listening, fire, broken, um, what does this mean?

"Does she speak dialect or Mandarin?" the black, long straight beauty asked the boy in school uniform.The people here speak more or less with an accent. If it is an older mother-in-law, it is likely to speak a dialect.

The boy in the school uniform shook his head, "I'm not sure. But she can understand what I said. Apart from these few words, she only said simple words like 'over there' and 'thank you', and the pronunciation is not bad. standard, so I didn’t think about the dialect or not at the time, and I was just thinking about what she was talking about.”

"Can you determine which words it is?"

The boy in school uniform shook his head again, "I can only be sure of these few sounds."

The girl in the pleated skirt asked suddenly, "When you mention fire, does it have something to do with tomorrow's sacrifice? Didn't the boatman say in the afternoon that the lamp with the animal face will be burned? Is there a fire?"

"So, it looks like a warning, fire, break, um," the man in the polo shirt repeated those words, his eyes suddenly lit up, "Po ye spray, fire spray? Is she reminding you, During the sacrifice, the fire will spew out, telling you to stay away?"

For a while, everyone had no other clues, and could only decide to be more careful when encountering fire.

Tang Si also shared the clues they found about the villagers' surnames.

The POLO shirt man nodded and said, "That's not running away. What we are looking for must be the treasure of the villagers. It seems that we must find a way to get in touch with the village chief tomorrow. It sounds like he should be the most respected person in the village. He There should be important news over there."

Before everyone went back to their rooms, Tang Si also specially told them not to go out at night for safety reasons.Several people nodded one after another, realizing that Tang Si was likely to go out, the beautiful Hei Changzhi smiled at him, "You should also be careful."

In the middle of the night, Song Ci woke up and sat by the window with Tang Si to watch the night. Tang Si repeated the clues from the rest of the people to him.

"About the three words that mother-in-law said, do you have any clue?"

Holding the teacup, Song Ci yawned sleepily, "Not yet. However, I agree that the village head is an important person, and we should find ways to get in touch with him more."

Tang Si's handsome long eyebrows raised slightly, "Since that's the case, why don't we go and have a look now?"

Idle is also idle, Song Ci, who was sitting drowsily, immediately put down the teacup.

In order to deceive others, Tang Si brought Song Ci out of the window.

Although they don't know the exact location of the village head's house, but based on the village head's status in the village, they can't go wrong if they look for the largest and most magnificent houses in the village.

I don't know if it's because of the heavy water vapor. Fu'an Village is foggy from day to night. Coupled with the cover of night, Tang Si took Song Ci through the village very easily.

After touching two tall houses one after another, they didn't find the village head's house, but unexpectedly found a sneaky figure, and it was very familiar.Half a second later, Song Ci recognized the man, the tour guide of their tour group!

Tell them not to go out when they hear the sound, but you sneak out in the middle of the night. If there is no problem, it will be strange.

Tang Si immediately changed his target and led Song Ci to follow the tour guide.

The tour guide was obviously very familiar with the roads in the village, and neither the fog nor the night hindered his speed.About twenty minutes later, Tang Si and Song Ci followed him to a mountain depression.

In the mountain depression is a flat bluestone plaza, and there are many stone statues on both sides of the Shinto. Between the night and the mist, the tall bodies of stone beasts and stone figures drag long black shadows, which is inexplicably gloomy.

There is also a tall stone tablet in the distance. Although it is not clear, it should be vaguely written with the words "Tomb of Taigong Qi".

Song Ci, who was hiding behind the stone, exchanged a glance with Tang Si. Is this the legendary ancient tomb?

After the tour guide walked into the Shinto, he walked around among the stone statues and disappeared after a few clicks.

Tang Si felt strange, and was about to follow in to find out what happened, when another figure walked up the path on the right.Looking at the outline of the clothes, the man was wearing the traditional clothes here, and he should be a villager in the village.

After the man entered the Shinto, he walked around like a tour guide, and disappeared after a few strokes.

After half a minute, another strange figure appeared on the small road on the right, and followed him into it.

Song Ci: ……………

Good guy, this one after another, how many people are there?

Fearing that someone would come from behind and startle the snake, Tang Si and Song Ci simply stayed where they were.

About ten minutes later, the tour guide and a figure came out one after the other. The tour guide walked back to the path on the left as usual, and the other person still walked to the right.

Song Ci and Tang Si waited for a while, but the third figure never came out.

The tour guide probably returned to the hotel, and the two hesitated for a few seconds before following the well-dressed figure of the villager on the right.

They followed the man to a tall and stately house in the village, and walked into a brightly lit room in the backyard.Through the half-open window, one could see an old man with white beard and hair sitting inside.

Thinking of what the boatman said about the village head being 82 years old, Song Ci and Tang Si immediately realized that this old man was probably the village head.

It’s not a waste of time to break through the iron shoes.

After the two crossed the courtyard wall, they hid under the window.

Everything was going well until they overheard the conversation of people in the house with their own encrypted systems.

"**&...%¥¥#...*&..."

"Abba, ………#!#…*"

"Well,...&#@...¥!¥*"

Song Ci: ……………

Overheard a lonely.
