Chapter 21 – I'll Tell You a Story

Chapter 21 I’ll Tell You a Story

‘Were the eight tourists related to the eight dead passengers in Four-Corner Village?

‘The way to enter the Dead Corner Village was to be alone, so how did the young couple come in?’

A breeze blew, and it was followed by a chill.

The scenery in the village was different from the outside world.

“village chief, thank you for your hospitality these past few days. I’ll be leaving now.”

When Qiao Yuan arrived at the fields and bade farewell with a smile, the village chief, who was farming in the fields, was clearly stunned.

“It’s Qiao Yuan.”

“Don’t you want to stay for a few more days? Is it because we didn’t treat you well?”

The wrinkled and dark-skinned village chief put down the hoe in his hand and wiped his sweat with a red towel on his neck. He looked at Qiao Yuan.

“No, Chief. The villagers are very enthusiastic. The fruits in the village are very sweet and delicious.”

“It’s obvious that they used good fertilizer.”

Qiao Yuan stood quietly in the fields. The air was filled with the fragrance of the soil, but there was a hint of an undetectable smell in the fragrance.

Perhaps it was the stench after the rain or something else.

“But the road out of the mountain has been flooded by a landslide caused by the heavy rain a few days ago. The people outside have been repairing it these past few days. Do you… Want to stay for a few more days?”

The village chief sighed and told him the bad news.

“I was going to tell you in a few days, so as not to affect your mood.”

The village chief picked up a plastic water bottle that was covered in pulp and took a sip of tea. He stopped to rest as he spoke to Qiao Yuan.

His sunken eye sockets looked at the mountains in the distance.

What a peaceful and carefree village.

It was mesmerizing and was simply paradise.

“By the way, village chief, you told me a fairy tale on the first day I came here. I thought about it and felt that it was quite troublesome for the villagers to stay here for two days. You didn’t accept my money. “So I’ll also tell you a story.”

Qiao Yuan looked down at the village chief from above, revealing an innocent smile.

At that moment, the skinny village chief had his back to Qiao Yuan, as if he was admiring his work.

“You’re being too polite,” Wang Yao said. “The villagers here are all like this. They’ve lived in this small mountain village all their lives. It’s rare to meet a new face, so it’s only right to entertain him.”

After saying that, the village chief cleaned the red mud on his shoes.

However, Qiao Yuan’s next words made him freeze.

“village chief, are you so sure that I can’t walk out of this dead-end village?”

Qiao Yuan’s tone was very calm, and he still had a smile on his face as he stared at the old man’s thin body in front of him.

“village chief, I picked up something earlier. Can you help me take a look and see what it’s

for?”

As he spoke, Qiao Yuan took out a wooden tablet from his backpack. The words “Sijiao Village” were carved on it.

This was the realm tablet he had pulled out earlier.

A gust of wind blew past, and the old man finally turned his head. After seeing the realm tablet, a trace of surprise flashed through his turbid eyes, but he quickly returned to normal.

“I don’t know what you’re talking about. If you want to leave, then leave. If you want to stay, then you are welcome.”

The village chief patted the dirt off his body and continued to plow the land with both hands on the hoe.

Clang

‘The hoe seemed to have hit something hard?’

Qiao Yuan’s eyes moved slightly. It was a white bone-like substance.

The village chief didn’t care. He turned the ground and covered it with soil again.

Not far away, an unknown fruit tree was filled with bright red fruits. A breeze blew past, bringing with it petals that fell one after another.

A beautiful scene was born.

If the couple were still around, they might have to take another set of photos.

Qiao Yuan walked up to the village chief and pressed his left hand on his shoulder. The old man was very thin, so thin that Qiao Yuan felt like he was touching a piece of bone.

“village chief, it has always been our tradition to return a favor.

“So… Before you leave, listen to me tell you a story.”

The village chief glanced at the hand on his shoulder, and said, “Go ahead.”

Then Qiao Yuan started, “In Taiyuan, the Wu Ling people fish. As he walked in Yuanxi, he forgot the distance of the road. Suddenly, they encountered a peach forest hundreds of steps away from the shore. There were no other trees in the forest, and the grass was fresh and fragrant. Fishermen are very different. If you continue to move forward, you want to exhaust the forest…”

Twenty minutes later.

The sky that was originally bright and sunny began to darken inexplicably. In the distance, a large number of dark clouds continued to roll, as if the sky was about to collapse.

The village chief’s swarthy face appeared even gloomier as he sized Qiao Yuan up with a strange gaze.

“Young man, I don’t know much, so I don’t understand what you mean!”

Qiao Yuan smiled and said, “In the story, the fisherman entered a paradise by mistake and was warmly welcomed by the villagers. When he left the village, the villagers told him not to tell anyone about the situation here. However, the fisherman broke his promise in the end. Fortunately, the government could not find this place in the end.

“Do you understand now?” Qiao Yuan patted the village chief’s slightly scary shoulder.

Looking at the silent village chief, Qiao Yuan glanced at the rolling black clouds in the distance and frowned slightly. He could even hear the rumbling sounds coming from the distance.

It was as if a great terror had descended!

“Let me summarize…

“First of all, I’m not a fisherman. If I can come here once, I can come here again!

“Second, I’ve been a big mouth since I was young. I’ll always tell the truth when people ask for directions!

“Third, do you think the current government is the same as the one in my story?

“Fourth, I’m done. You have three minutes to consider. Of course… You can also choose to kill me.

“Personally, I still hope that you’ll kill me. It’s just a matter of whether you’re useful or not.”

After saying this, Qiao Yuan let go of the old man and stepped back, taking out the wooden tablet again.

He estimated twice, but it was still not safe!

Hence, he took a few steps back.

A safe distance was created!

Qiao Yuan was prepared to insert the wooden token into the ground and leave at any time.

The wooden tablet was the key to leading to or leaving this place. Qiao Yuan had only guessed it before, but judging from the village chief’s reaction just now, it was clear that he had made the right bet.

Otherwise, he would have to resort to some brutal methods to force the hidden spirit to show herself, but the chances of success were low.

At this moment, the air seemed to have frozen. An oppressive and heavy aura filled the entire world, suffocating everyone.

“Young man, you are very smart.”

A cold voice was heard. Qiao Yuan narrowed his eyes. The old man’s appearance began to change. His dark and skinny skin gradually became healthier.

The coarse clothes on his body had also turned into the long robes of the ancient people.

The transformation was completed in an instant.

It was the ancient scholar-like spirit he had met last night.

“But you’re not smart enough!”

A disdainful voice came out of its mouth.

Suddenly, Qiao Yuan felt a wave of dizziness.

He heard footsteps behind him.

A large group of villagers had unknowingly arrived in the vicinity, and the kidnapped Wang Jing was among them.

Compared to the previous warm hospitality, the villagers now appeared unusually cold and heartless.

They glared at him and placed a sharp sickle on Wang Jing’s neck.

Wang Jing’s entire body was trembling, and her face was pale. She looked at Qiao Yuan with eyes full of hope.

“Qiao Yuan, save me!”

Wang Jing couldn’t help but cry out.

The illusion had disappeared?

The person was still there, and there was no change in the surroundings. This proved that this place was not an illusion but real!

Qiao Yuan’s brain quickly analyzed this point.

And based on his degree of dizziness, Qiao Yuan could boldly guess that the spirit’s strength was higher than his, but not by much difference.

Otherwise, he could have just killed him directly without any extra effort!

In this case, his chances of winning were not small!

“Why do we have to leave? isn’t this place

good?”

“We’ll give you food if you want it. We’ll give you money if you want it. What else are you not satisfied with?”

At that moment, all the villagers looked at Qiao Yuan in unison, their eyes, no longer as enthusiastic as before.

Every one of them looked like a walking corpse, their faces getting gloomier.

“Staying here will never kill you!”

Aunt Li walked out from amidst the villagers, followed by three tourists.

Other than the one who had greeted Qiao Yuan, there was also a beautiful woman and child.

“They’re already dead in the real world, but they’re still alive here and have unimaginable wealth. As long as you’re willing to stay, you can have it too!”

Aunt Li continued to bewitch him.

The three tourists behind her began to change. Their bodies were covered in wounds and blood flowed as if they had been in a car accident.

The three visitors said with a dazed look, “Join us and you’ll have eternal life.”

The voice seemed to contain some kind of magic, making people subconsciously immerse themselves in it.

At this moment, the rest of the villagers also spoke up.

“Young man, join us.” “If you stay, you can have anything you

want!”

“I want a woman.”

Qiao Yuan said in a serious tone.

The villagers were speechless.

The village chief was speechless. He frowned, then gave him a look.

Aunt Li took another two steps forward.

“Shut up!” Qiao Yuan said. “I want normal, young women!”

Aunt Li took half a step back and looked at the village chief with a gloomy face. After getting his permission, she said, “Sure, we can catch women for you. Beautiful women. Whatever you want, just tell us!” “One? Two… Ten? Anything is fine!”

“I want it… My wife!” Qiao Yuan shrugged.

Qiao Yuan pointed at the village chief, or to be more precise, the scholar spirit.

The village chief was speechless.

The villagers were speechless.

Wang Jing was speechless.

After a long time.

The village chief spoke.

“Sure, as long as you stay!”

Qiao Yuan was stunned. He shook his head. “Your spirit is too perverted. You’re giving it away?”

“I don’t want that which has been used by others!”

“I’m afraid your wife will kill me in the middle of the night.”

Weng

The sound of gnashing teeth could be heard.

Among the villagers, a figure was staring coldly at Qiao Yuan, the coarse clothes on his body gradually turning red. A clear five-fingered handprint appeared on his face!
