Chapter 125: Hungry Dog Village

These dilapidated houses in front of me don't know how many years they have been abandoned, and they seem to be completely unoccupied.
Although our side is not a big city, in recent years, real estate has also risen. Why is there such undeveloped wasteland?
I can't even see a human figure in front of me, but I didn't relax my vigilance because of this. I always held the charm in my hand and walked cautiously on the gravel road.
Although many of these dilapidated houses on both sides of the road have collapsed, it can be seen from the remaining appearance that this should be an ancient village and town. The eaves and roofs of these houses have a strong sense of age.
I racked my brains for a long time, but I really didn't think of a place like this.
The area of ​​this village is not as big as usual. I walked for two or three minutes, but still did not see the border of the village.
"Hi...his..."
I heard a few very slight noises, and immediately became vigilant.
I turned my head and looked in the direction of the sound.
I saw a rickety figure, searching for something in a ruined wall.
In this situation, I suddenly saw other people, and I instantly became vigilant, and quickly squeezed the spell in my hand.
While I was watching this guy carefully, he seemed to have some reaction and looked back at me.
This is a skinny uncle, who is also in tatters, and looks a little hard.
I specially noticed that this guy has a shadow under his feet, he is a living person.
"Visitors from outside?"
Uncle looked at me up and down and asked.
Although the other party has a shadow and is a living person, I didn't relax my vigilance because of it, but made a slight hmm.
The uncle snorted: "I don't know what you people think, what can you do in this broken place, there are always tourists like you who come all the way."
While speaking, the old man stood up and put something into the braid beside him.
"Come with me, I'll find a place to stay for you."
I am smashing like a headless fly. I am afraid it is not a problem. I decided to follow this uncle first to figure out what this is.
I followed the uncle calmly and continued on the road.
Although this uncle looked thin, he was really good-looking, and he was not tired at all with a huge woven bag on his back.
On the road, I offered to help him get the bag several times, but he refused.
"Master, where are we here?"
I must first figure out where I am now.
"I didn't even know where it was, so I came to travel?"
The uncle looked at me with a trace of alertness in his eyes.
I can't explain to an ordinary person what is Ecstasy, after all, I feel dizzy.
"Oh, that's the case, I originally went to climb here, and I saw a village here on the mountain, so I wanted to take a look."
I told a lie without blinking my eyes.
"Our place is called Hungry Dog Village. It was originally a little famous village. But in recent years, because of the wild spread on the Internet, this is the Hungry Dog Village that the person will go to when he dies, so a large number of people suddenly appeared. Curious tourists, come here to travel. In fact, there is nothing to play in our wilderness."
I have also heard the legend of Hungry Dog Village.
It is said that after death, people will pass the Hungry Dog Village on their way to the underworld. Therefore, there is a custom in the north that a small wooden stick is symbolically placed in the coffin of the deceased, which symbolizes the use of a dog stick.
Without this, the dead would be chased by hungry dogs when passing through the Hungry Dog Village.
Although the uncle said that this village has nothing to do with the legendary Evil Dog Village, I was still vigilant.
"Uncle, how did the name of our evil dog village come from?"
I pretended to ask casually.
"Who knows, I have heard many versions. Some said that in ancient times, the dogs bred in this village were extremely ferocious, and there was a custom of fighting dogs in the village. Others said that there was a group of dogs living nearby. Wild dogs, often attack passing pedestrians. I really don’t know how the name came from."
I pretended not to stand firmly, and slammed forward, while pretending to subconsciously reach out and grab the uncle's shoulder.
"Ouch!"
I became a complete dramatist. The purpose of doing this is to try this uncle secretly with the charm hidden in my palm.
The spell was on the shoulder of the uncle, and there was no response.
This shows that this uncle is indeed not a ghost.
"The road in this village is really hard to walk!"
I chuckled twice, covering up my true intentions perfectly.
Although it is temporarily certain that this uncle is indeed a living person, when I was testing him just now, I vaguely smelled a disgusting rancid smell.
The smell probably came from the woven bag in the hands of the old man.
What exactly is in his woven bag?
The old man apparently regarded that woven bag as a treasure and held it tightly in his hand, so I couldn't ask too much.
Just as I was thinking about it, the uncle suddenly stopped: "We are here!"
I looked around. Although the houses around us are still very dilapidated and even crooked, they can at least live in, unlike the previous ruined walls, which have been completely abandoned.
"You live here, and I will prepare something for you in a while..."
When the uncle said this, I quickly interrupted him: "I don't need to eat. I have a bad stomach and can't eat anything recently. It's enough to have a place to rest."
I took out a hundred yuan and handed it to the uncle with a smile.
Now I am still in the ecstasy formation, where I dare to eat indiscriminately.
The uncle was not polite with me, he opened another door and went in.
I entered the room the uncle arranged for me.
Although the house is still very dilapidated, there is no complete wall, but at least it can be seen that it was obviously cleaned by someone, but it is relatively clean.
The first thing I did after I settled down was to quickly take out my mobile phone to find out where exactly this hungry dog ​​village is.
I don’t know if this place is too remote, or Ecstasy can even block cell phone signals. My cell phone doesn’t have the slightest signal, so I can’t connect to the Internet at all.
What's more terrible is that in the Ecstasy Array, time seems to have been distorted. I watched for a long time, and the time on my mobile phone screen did not change at all.
