Chapter 287 Zhoukou Village
The carriage went around and quickly returned to the starting point. The coachman looked at it, continued to lower his head, and the two horses continued to circle. This scene looked very strange, and every time the lady's knife stopped, the carriage would stop and continue to walk.
"Is it a matter of two horses?" I asked Ouyang Xuanzi, and he said, "The two horses died in extreme pain, but they would not have killed everyone here. The people here are very simple and kind. Even if the horses are killed, he will not kill the people here. The people here are killed by others, as for this lady..."
The two big horses paused, and the lady got off the carriage after eating meat, walked to the coachman, looked up, and walked in.
After entering, the ghosts in the yard were all afraid to retreat when they saw the lady. Ouyang Xuanzi said: "If ghosts are not strangers, they will usually only be afraid of the people who killed them. The ghosts will forget the memories after death, but they will have different opinions on the people who killed them and those who miss them very much, and their memories are particularly profound."
"You mean, this lady killed the people here?" I asked Ouyang Xuanzi. Ouyang Xuanzi nodded, and I asked strangely: "If this is the case, what about this lady?"
"Why are you going to ask about those two horses?" Ouyang Xuanzi looked at the two horses. The two horses seemed to be nothing, only the lady walked around the yard with a knife in her hand.
Ouyang Xuanzi said: "It seems that I can only ask the coachman, he should know a lot of things."
I looked at the coachman and looked embarrassed, as if it was very sad.
"Why do we talk to him? I don't look like he is someone who can communicate with us." I said, Ouyang Xuanzi said, "Then I can only wait for him to say it myself."
After that, we didn't go into the lady's yard. It was always dark around. Ouyang Xuanzi took us to another place. He said that this place is strange, and it may have something to do with the place or the house here.
We came all the way from the big house and came to the house we saw in front of us. They all saw us here. I asked Ouyang Xuanzi: "What are they all looking at?"
"It's cursed here. If it can't be solved, it's impossible to reincarnate. Look at them here, they are all kind and will not harm others. They are all very worried when facing that lady."
I nodded: "No wonder."
"Hong'er, we need to find a place to rest for a while. We are a little tired of our husband." Ouyang Xuanzi said as she went aside and came to the door of the widow. Although I was unhappy, I still didn't stop me when I thought of asking something.
When the door was pushed open, the widow was resting inside. Seeing Ouyang Xuanzi and I, the widow stood up and put on one piece of clothes. She began to see Ouyang Xuanzi smiling. When she saw me, she calmed down and stopped smiling. I thought the widow was disappointed, otherwise she would not have been like this.
"Is there anything wrong with you coming here?" asked the widow, and Ouyang Xuanzi said, "We are a little tired and want to find a place to rest."
"Then I can rest here, you guys can rest."
The widow was still very polite and seemed to have no malice to me. She also asked Ouyang Xuanzi and I to sit down.
Ouyang Xuanzi was much more generous than me and did not perform well. After walking over, she sat down, observed the house, and said, "What is your village called?"
"Zhoukou Village." said the widow, took a chair to me, and said, "You can sit there too."
Then I walked over and sat next to Ouyang Xuanzi. At this time, Ouyang Xuanzi asked again: "What Zhoukou said is that everyone here is a surname Zhou?"
"Most of the people here are surnamed Zhou." The widow replied, Ouyang Xuanzi said after a while: "Then how did you all die?"
Hearing Ouyang Xuanzi ask, the widow's face turned ugly. She was originally beautiful, but suddenly she turned into a dark and rotten one.
"You..." The widow's voice changed, but Ouyang Xuanzi's face darkened. The widow recovered as usual, staring at Ouyang Xuanzi and me in a daze.
Ouyang Xuanzi said at this time: "I don't want to make things difficult for others. You just need to tell me what's going on here. Do you understand?"
The widow seemed to not understand at first, but later she was quiet for a while and talked about Zhoukou Village.
According to the widow, Zhoukou Village was originally a very peaceful and peaceful place. Until later, a powerful family came, the lady's house. According to the widow, the powerful person brought a lot of soldiers over. After coming, he immediately expanded the territory of Zhoukou Village and incorporated several small villages around them into their hands.
That person claims to be a great commander and is a barbaric person. If he falls in love with someone's woman, he will become a concubine if he takes it away.
People here have been in panic since then.
But after a while, the handsome man got a very beautiful woman from somewhere. The woman gave birth to a girl soon after, and the handsome man stopped stealing the woman, but something more terrifying than these happened. The handsome man was tormenting, and the same was true for his daughter.
People here are afraid of them, but in that era, they were turbulent and dying everywhere, and they could easily die wherever they went. They could live here every day without worrying about dying.
The widow said that her man was actually a good person and they lived a good life, but because she was seen by the lady on the street, she felt that she was not good-looking and was beaten to death.
Later, because of the two horses, the lady dealt with the two horses and the coachman. After the coachman died, the lady died, and they were also scared to death.
"You mean you are all scared to death?" Ouyang Xuanzi asked the widow. The widow said, "We don't remember how he died, but the night before we died, the well water rolled, and then we all died. After death, we thought of many ways to leave here, but we couldn't do anything, and we didn't know what happened. The lady was very scary. She did whatever she wanted, just like when she was alive, and did not regard us as humans."
"You are not human beings," I added from the side. The widow looked at me, as if she was dissatisfied with what I said, but later she didn't say anything, but instead looked at Ouyang Xuanzi. I saw her leave and sit on Ouyang Xuanzi's side, not allowing her to see.
Then the widow said, "That's all."
Ouyang Xuanzi looked at me, said nothing else, and sat with me for a while and said, "You all want to be reincarnated and leave here, but you don't know what you are bound by, so you have never had the chance to leave. I want to find someone to help you, right?"
“That’s right.”
"So when we passed by, you trapped us here, hoping we could know your affairs and help you." Ouyang Xuanzi said that, and the widow nodded. At this time, the truth was revealed and I also understood.
