For a moment, everyone in Lingshan was very surprised. Looking at each other, Chen Ruo Refreshed, "It's not like this." The old man said, "If this is true, I am grateful for your kindness. Please don't blame me. My family is poor, but there are always stutters." Han Yiming looked around, afraid that he would eat all his food with his fellow disciples here. He didn't know if the old couple had eaten it. He couldn't bear it, so he said, "If the villagers ask, what do we go and say? We live here and ask you for help, we must give you some money. It's natural. If the neighbors blame the two elders for this, what do we go and say?"

The old man's head was like a rattle: "No need, no need, very no need. We originally wanted to take care of the people we communicate with. No matter how poor we are, we cannot refuse, nor can we charge silver." Chen Ruofu said: "If you don't refuse, it is naturally the kindness here. It's just that it is not unfair to collect some silver. Many of us eat and live in your home and do not order silver for you, how can we be so happy?" The old man said: "I dare not collect this silver, and I will never dare to collect it. If you give me silver, it will be a total harm to me. If I accept your silver, my wife and I will be driven out of this village. At our age, how can you let us survive after we drive it out?"

It was the second time that everyone here heard that he was driven out of the village, and they were very surprised. Han Yiming said, "Why did this? If I said that I had collected the silver and destroyed the simple folk customs of this place and was driven out, I would understand. But even this matter must be explained clearly. If we don't give it to us, we really feel sorry for staying in your house." The old man said, "If you don't live in my house, I will also drive out of the village. Since you have entered my house, you will go out of the village without this. Please don't despise my family as poor, live here and leave."

Everyone here became more and more strange. Chen Ruofu said, "Old man, why is this here? There are only the hosts who don't pick up guests elsewhere, and I wish no one would come to disturb me. Why are you completely different here? Is there any special reason? Otherwise, if you say it, you will have a better understanding." The old man sighed and said, "There is a reason for this. But, don't be scared to you, don't be scared to leave me." The people in Lingshan looked at each other, and Chen Ruofu said, "We don't, please tell me."

The old man said, "It is because our ancestors have something to do. However, we have never had drought here. Even if there are no drought in the ten miles and eight villages, there is no drought, and no rainfall is not falling, and no grass grows. We still have enough rain and harvests. Therefore, we can be regarded as a Feng Shui treasure land. During the years of drought, there are still things that come to borrow water from neighboring villages. We are not stingy. This is a gift from God. We should not enjoy it alone. How can we think that there is too much or too little? How can we dominate the benefits and not share them with others?"

The people of Lingshan all called it, and Chen Ruofu said, "It turns out that it is such a simple folk custom, so they are very enthusiastic about us who come to stay and stay." The old man said, "It's not because of this. It's only in recent years for the food and accommodation for passers-by to come here." Chen Ruofu said, "Old man, can we tell us about this reason?" The old man said, "It's not that we can't say it. This matter is a bit strange, I'm afraid you won't believe it." Feng Yumao said, "You always say it, there's nothing to believe or not, let's listen." He was very calm, and it's more convincing than Chen Ruofu. The old man sighed and said, "Since the previous year, we have been uneasy here. On the night of the sixteenth day of the month, there are fewer people."

Everyone was shocked: "How many people are missing?" The old khan said: "Yes, a few people are missing. Sometimes it is two, sometimes three, and it is very rare. Even if the person disappeared out of thin air, he could not find it anymore. At the beginning, there were still people in the village who went to find it. There were only strong young people in the village, but there were quite a few of us old people. After searching for it a few times, we couldn't find it. We invited a somewhat effective witch to see it in a foreign country, saying that we had something that she could not say, and we asked us to follow it and give one every month.

If people go, they can avoid many disasters. Furthermore, if this thing comes out to catch people, more than one person will be sent, it only needs that one person. It can also avoid some disasters. If one person comes out every month, the village will be gone long ago, so where can there be people here? Therefore, we asked the witch to help, but it was not possible. Then we invited a few witches and witches to help. We moved the village, but we were told in our sleep that if we left, then this thing followed, wherever we went, wherever we went."

Everyone was surprised to hear it and said, "Is this amazing?" The old man said, "This dream is not done by one person. All the people in our village have this dream overnight. Therefore, we dare not leave easily. We would rather believe that there is than not. Everyone has such a dream, which is not a good thing. But they would rather have children trapped here. Therefore, families with daughters will marry their daughters, and families with sons will let their sons stay away. Anyway, we are all old people, and sooner or later we will die, so it doesn't matter where we die. It's also a good thing to be able to get everyone's safety. On the night of the 16th of the month, an old man goes to the village head to die. Everyone goes like this. Later, they all go by themselves, and we don't go to see him off, because we don't know which day we will die by ourselves."

He said in a miserable way, and everyone here said, "Why don't you have any rules? How can you die like this?" The old man said, "Why haven't you been here, but to be honest, the witches and priests who were invited either refused to help. The so-called helpings have no result, but I'm afraid they don't have any real skills. We no longer expect anything, just live like this, and we always die. Fortunately, our children have all gone out. Later, two years ago, a strange man passed by this and saw it for us.

Look, it is said that this thing is not something that ordinary people can defeat. We begged him, but he said that he could not surrender for us at that time, but could only guide us. He told us that before the time came, this thing could not be removed. When the time came, someone came to get rid of this thing. He taught us a method. To be honest, when he taught this method, we did not trust it, and after that, we had to use this method, but it was also effective. It was a capable person, but we were deceived and couldn't believe it."

Han Yiming said, "What method?" The old man said, "He taught us to prick blood. Every time at 16th, he asked two people to prick blood. He stabbed two big bowls of blood, and took them to the village head. He touched them for about half past the second day, and then came back. He must not look back. Just walk to the village. He said this is called a blood sacrifice, and it can be blood. As for more blood, it is not that important." Shen Ruofu said, "Oh, blood sacrifice? This is a lot. He is all based on human life to sacrifice. I still have such a sacrifice method.

I heard it once." The old man said, "He asked for two large bowls of earth and wrote a word on the bottom of the two bowls. I couldn't understand it. He said that as long as he took these two bowls to send blood, he would come over safe that month. If he changed the bowl, it would not be like this. There were still few people in the village, but as he said, he could really keep his peace. At first we just thought he was talking nonsense, but later we tried it and came down like this." Shen Ruofu said, "Then this person is really a skilled person."

The old man said, "Oh, it's a pity that he didn't help us. It's a pity. Then, another Taoist priest came, and the Taoist priest calculated for us that this thing must be surrendered by people from outside, especially those who went north, and advised us not to offend visitors from outside. We also knew that among the many people invited, there were no ability to make money, but there were really some people who could do it. Therefore, since then, we have paid twelve points of care to all the guests who come and do it. Don't say offend, it's too late to compensate." Han Yiming said, "So that's it." The old man said, "Oh, I don't know when this distinguished guest who can relieve us from difficulties will come?" Chen Ruofu said, "Didn't that person say a deadline?" The old man said, "Just say, when we meet the nine, we must pay attention. We are very careful on the nine, nineteen, and twenty-ninth day of each month. But we don’t know if this nine is the nine. As long as it reaches the nine, we care very much, but if we wait like this, we don’t know when it will be. However, we are always more forceful than using human lives to fill this bottomless pit. You don’t know that in those days, even the younger people are no longer seeing deaths, so that young people come back.” Chen Ruofu said, “I don’t understand, have you never seen that strange thing?” The old man said, “It’s really not seen before. No matter what, there are still people in this village who are curious and see what it is. If you don’t even know what it is, you are even more afraid. The most terrible thing is that you don’t know what the other party is, and ignorance is the most terrifying thing.”

Chen Ruofu said, "Have you ever seen it?" The old man sighed, "No. Either he went to see it but couldn't come back, or he couldn't even leave the door." Han Yiming said, "I can't even leave the door? What's the point?" The old man said, "I don't know why. At that time, someone was going to see what made us so uneasy. As a result, when we were about to go out, we couldn't go out. It was either such a thing or that, but we couldn't go out. Over time, we knew that we couldn't go out. We could only wait for the person who could save us to come."
