"Hey, this yellow cow and these spotted pigs are really weird. They actually got on the truck so obediently. After so many years of hauling livestock, this is the first time I've seen something like this. " The truck driver saw that I didn't even need to rush, and was able to get Old Huang and the Three Flowers' family onto the truck.
"How can this be the same? Other people are selling their livestock to be slaughtered. My livestock is just moving to a new nest, "I smiled.
"Actually, rather than bringing these livestock to Jin City, it's better to buy them and feed them there. This trip isn't worth it, "the truck driver said again.
"It's not the same. My livestock can't be bought with money. After feeding them for so many years, I've developed feelings for them, "I put some grass and water in the truck. I was afraid that these guys would suffer.
"That's true, that's true. The truck driver nodded. "Wow, your family's animal is so smart."
"Master, someone will pick us up when we get there. Take care of these livestock along the way," I was still a bit worried.
"Don't worry about this. I've been in this business for many years. I'll definitely take care of this matter. You're the only one I've seen who's so good at raising animals. No wonder your animals are raised like monsters, "the truck driver said.
When the car was about to move, Old Huang mooed at me. The Three Flowers and their family also kept mooing at me. They were reluctant to leave this place. They also developed feelings for Octagon Village. I was the only one who could feel their emotions.
When I returned home, I didn't see Grandpa.
Huang Shulang and the others were cleaning up the house.
"Where's Grandpa?" I looked around.
"I don't know. He was just here. It seems like he went towards the back of the mountain, "Huang Shulang raised his head and looked at me.
The back of the mountain was our Huang family's ancestral grave. Grandpa should have gone to say goodbye to the ancestors. This time, I don't know when he'll come back. These few days, there were a lot of people going to the ancestral grave.
When I walked to the back of the mountain, I saw Grandpa sitting in front of a grave.
"… I'm going out, and I don't know when I'll be back. I didn't know if I could come back during the Qingming Festival to pay respects to your graves, so I came earlier to pay respects to your graves … "Halfway through her words, she was completely choked with sobs.
I walked to my grandfather's side and knelt down. I kowtowed a few times in front of the grave. Grandpa patted my head and pulled me up. "Let's go back."
I knew that Grandpa didn't want to leave Eight Corner Village. Grandpa had never left Eight Corner Village in his entire life. Now that he had to abandon his home, how could he not be sad?
The villagers were preparing to head out these days. The construction of Uncle Thirteen's house was stopped. He was going to wait for the limelight to pass. After all, if what I said was true, then it would be a waste of money if he couldn't live in the house after it was built. He had only built the first floor and bought all the materials back, so his loss wasn't too great. Unlike the few houses that had already been built.
Those families, including Ma Wanyi's family, did not plan to demolish their houses. Ma Wanyi even gritted his teeth and wanted to continue staying in Eight Corner Village. It was to prove that what I said was superstition. He just wanted to fight with me for this.
The entire village wanted to leave, which naturally caused the county and town to lose face. When Grandpa and I returned home, several small cars came to the village. A group of people directly walked towards our home. Among them was Xia Wanxiao, who came last year.
"Fellow villager, what are you doing? It's good to stay at home, but hard to go out. If you go out blindly like this, what if it's not as good as you think it will be? By the time you want to come back, you've already missed farming time. So, you guys still have to be careful, "Xia Wanxiao looked at the boxes and bags in the living room and said patiently with a frown.
"Magistrate Xia, don't try to persuade us. We've already decided. We won't change it anymore, "Grandpa said.
"Huang Jingyang, the villagers are all running outside now. You're in trouble this time, "Xia Wanxiao said to me.
"What trouble? When have the villagers not gone out to work after the new year? It's just that there are more people going out to work this year. Didn't you officials encourage the farmers to go out to work? "I said.
"But no one is willing to farm in the village now. What if the land becomes barren? "Xia Wanxiao said angrily.
"I'm not an official, what are you asking me for? You officials have to think of a way. Now that the young people have all gone out to work, there's only the old and weak left in the village, even if they don't go out, they can't farm so much land. So, can a child like me care about this kind of thing? "I smiled.
Xia Wanxiao looked at me angrily, but couldn't do anything to me, so she left our home, and went to other people's homes to work on their ideas. The villagers that decided to go out already bought their tickets. No matter how Xia Wanxiao worked on her ideas, she still had to go out the next morning. Although Xia Wanxiao and her group went to each household to work patiently, it didn't have any effect. They returned to my home.
"Huang Jingyang, I'll ask you something. Is what you said true? There's no one else here, it's just the two of us, tell me the truth, "Xia Wanxiao walked into my room, and closed the door.
"Magistrate Xia, I don't understand what you're saying," I naturally pretended not to understand.
"Don't pretend, I've already heard everything about you. If it wasn't for you, the current situation in your village wouldn't have happened. What is your purpose in doing this? "Xia Wanxiao stared at me. If it was a normal child, they would have already surrendered under her stare. However, I wasn't a normal child.
"Magistrate Xia, what's the point of you always making things difficult for a child like me? Since you can't believe what I said, then let's wait for a month and see the result. At that time, it won't affect the farming, "I naturally understood that no matter how I explained, Xia Wanxiao would find it hard to believe. Even if she believed, it wouldn't help the situation at all. Without anything happening, who would dare to tear down a few newly built houses, and then have me repair the formation. If this got out, then her position as the Vice-Magistrate would probably come to an end.
"I just want to know what will happen from you," Xia Wanxiao said.
"You should have already seen the situation in Eight Corner Mountain. Not a single blade of grass grows. In the future, it will spread to Eight Corner Village, not only will all the crops die. Not a single living thing will survive, "I said.
"Are you sure?" Xia Wanxiao looked at me in shock.
I nodded, "We'll see in a month."
Xia Wanxiao naturally found it hard to believe, but she knew that there wouldn't be any results even if she continued.
In the morning, the car I rented drove to our village's Daping. The villagers all got on the car while crying. Although they didn't know what would happen in a month. But when she thought about leaving this place that had haunted her soul, she couldn't help but cry.
"Yang Yang, can we come back in the future?" Sixth Grandpa asked loudly.
"Definitely," I said with certainty.
Our batch was the last batch of people to leave Eight Corner Village. After we left, Eight Corner Village became deserted. Only Ma Wanyi's family was left. There were also a few other families that didn't want to leave.
The matter came faster than I expected. A few days after I arrived in Jin City, Xia Wanxiao personally came to Jin City.
"Huang Jingyang, Mr. Huang, something big happened in Eight Corner Village!" As soon as Xia Wanxiao saw me, she held my hand tightly. From her anxious eyes, I could see that the murderous aura of Eight Corner Village was spreading faster than I had expected.
"What happened?" I asked.
"Fortunately, you asked the villagers to evacuate. Sigh, we lost contact with the families that didn't leave yesterday. When we sent people to check, we found that there were no living people in Eight Corner Village. Ma Wanyi's family was all dead. The rescuers sent them to the hospital, but they didn't find out the cause of death. They seemed to have been scared to death, "said Xia Wanxiao.
"They didn't evacuate at that time. It's too late to say anything now. It's useless for you to come and find me now. "I naturally knew why Xia Wanxiao had come.
"The problem is very serious. Not only did Eight Corner Village have a problem, but the villages around it also showed signs of trouble. Jiantang Village, Yangjiaba Village, Shapo Village … A few villages around Eight Corner Village also showed signs of livestock fleeing. Now, the farmers in these villages are panicking and preparing to flee. The entire Changshan Town and even the entire Qiushan County are panicking. Since you knew this would happen beforehand, then do you have a way to control this situation? "Xia Wanxiao looked at me and placed all her hopes on me.
"You should report this matter to the higher-ups instead of coming to find me. Our country is so big, and there are so many capable people. There must be someone who can deal with it. You came to find a child like me. Isn't it a bit unreliable? "I said with a wry smile.
Xia Wanxiao was also helpless. "If this matter was reported, people in the system like us wouldn't be able to think about getting promoted in the future."
"So you guys still don't want to give up your official position." I was speechless. People had already died, but these officials were still thinking about their career.
"I did want to report it, but the county's second-in-command didn't agree. What can I do? I can only come and beg you, "said Xia Wanxiao.
"It's useless to beg me. Even if you tear down those houses, I can't fix the formation. I can't do it alone, "I said helplessly.
"You know this. You should have a few friends like you. Can you ask your friends to come with you? "Xia Wanxiao placed all her hopes on me.
Grandpa didn't say anything, but hearing this, he couldn't help but interject. "Yang Yang, if you can help, please help. After all, Eight Corner Village is our hometown. If you can restore Eight Corner Village to its original state, that would be the best. "
Restore to its original state? I'm afraid it'll be hard to restore to its original state. I muttered in my heart. There wasn't even a blade of grass growing in the village. Even if the formation was restored, it wouldn't be able to restore it to its original state. The village was probably filled with an aura of death, without any signs of life.
I suddenly thought of a person. If he helped, he might be able to restore Eight Corner Village's formation. Zhao Daozhang was the one with the most profound cultivation I have ever seen. If he was willing to go with me to Eight Corner Village, there might be a chance to restore the formation. Then the crisis this time would be easily solved.
However, the last time I met Zhao Daozhang, he said that he was going to travel. I don't know where he is now.
I took out my phone, found Zhao Daozhang's phone number, and dialed it. Luckily, Zhao Daozhang's phone was still there, and he wasn't in a Laolin deep in the mountains with no signal at all.
I told Zhao Daozhang about the situation, and Zhao Daozhang happily agreed to help.
A day later, Zhao Daozhang rushed to Jin City, and went with me to Changshan Town.
"The situation isn't good! The killing intent is so dense, I'm afraid that even if we work together, we might not be able to win, "Zhao Daozhang couldn't help but frown when he saw the dense killing intent in Eight Corner Village.
"Even if that's the case, it's not like we don't have a chance," I told him about the situation in Eight Corner Village.
"I hope so. Right now, we can only hope that the formation can be restored. Otherwise, with just the two of us, we won't be able to deal with it, "Zhao Daozhang said worriedly.
"Zhao Daozhang, I have some peach wood and some Vitality Talismans," I prepared a peach wood sword for Zhao Daozhang, and I also made some Vitality Talismans.
As soon as Zhao Daozhang saw the peach wood sword, he praised, "This peach wood sword is actually a thousand-year-old spiritual wood. It's really rare, and it seems like this peach wood is very new. Daoist Huang, where did you find this material?"
I naturally wouldn't tell him about the dream, and smiled, "It was just luck. I was just lucky and happened to find a good peach wood. "
"Last time, I suffered because of you," Zhao Daozhang smiled awkwardly when he saw the Vitality Talismans.
I couldn't help but smile, "Last time, I offended you."
"If we had these Vitality Talismans, we might have been able to succeed this time," Zhao Daozhang took the peach wood sword and Vitality Talismans from my hands without any trace of politeness.
Now that Eight Corner Village had become a land of death, no one came to stop us from demolishing the houses. Xia Wanxiao had sent people to help us demolish the houses. However, it was very dangerous for ordinary people to enter Eight Corner Village. I could only give the people who entered the village to demolish the houses a protective talisman. This way, they wouldn't be in any danger for a short period of time. Several excavators worked at the same time, and soon, the houses were demolished. Zhao Daozhang and I hurried to set up the formation and repair the formation.
However, just as we were about to repair the formation, the thing in Eight Corner Mountain sensed danger.
"Roar!"
A loud roar resounded from the main peak of Eight Corner Mountain.
"Not good! That thing is coming! "Zhao Daozhang frowned.
"Let's hurry. Otherwise, if that thing comes, we'll be in big trouble, "I quickly said.
