Chapter 1327: Bad Feeling

They drove to the village.

The reason why it was called Dashan Village was mainly because it was surrounded by mountains. Although it was a little close to the capital, it was very different from other villages. Firstly, it occupied a very small area. The entire Dashan Village only had a few dozen or at most a hundred families. Secondly, it was very remote and very easy to overlook.

It was Chi Shuyan’s first time in the village, and she was surprised. The village wasn’t poor. After all, it was very close to the capital. In addition, most of the villagers were self-sufficient. If it wasn’t for the Buddha statue, the villagers would be doing well.

Of course, these were all superficial observations from the car. The villagers here didn’t suffer from poverty. On the contrary, everyone was in good spirits, especially the young people.

However, from the moment they entered the village, Chi Shuyan noticed that there were a lot of old and young people here in particular, but very few women. She had some misgivings about what Brother Feng said previously.

Chi Shuyan didn’t think much of it until the car stopped outside a blue brick house. After getting out of the car, she realized that all the houses were made out of blue bricks. She thought to herself that her previous guess was indeed correct.

There was a group of children playing innocently in the mud, and young adults would pass by occasionally in twos and threes, chatting and laughing. Chi Shuyan thought to herself that if it wasn’t for Brother Feng, she really might not have sensed anything wrong with this village.

While Chi Shuyan was observing her surroundings, Feng Yuanlin and Qi Zhenbai also took in the behavior of the locals around them. The former had been a police officer for so many years, so he naturally had discerning eyes. The latter had even sharper insight and investigative skills. With just a few sweeping gazes, he took in a fair amount of information about the village.

Feng Yuanlin really felt that the people in this village were doing well even if the village was small and remote, and he had never heard the name before. When he thought of what Xiao Shan had told him, he felt that this village had nothing to do with the case.

He couldn’t help but be puzzled. “This village is doing pretty well. Xiao Shan and Wu Haoming wouldn’t lie and scare me!”

Without waiting for Chi Shuyan to speak, Qi Zhenbai keenly pointed out what was unusual about the village, and hit the nail on the head. “This village looks good on the surface, but we’ve been standing here for so long and there’s no women around. Don’t you think that’s a little strange?”

Feng Yuanlin thought at first that since the weather was hot, the women might be resting or busy inside their houses, until Xiao Shan and Wu Haoming came over five minutes later.

The two immediately took them to where they were staying before they started talking about Dashan Village.

Like Qi Zhenbai said, this mountain village didn’t lack men or children, but it did lack women. Furthermore, most of the women were pregnant.

Only after staying here for a few days did they happen to see some pregnant women. Their complexions weren’t good and were very pale, and there was some fear in their eyes. As for the reason for their fear, the two didn’t know much, but they keenly felt that it was probably related to the Buddha statue.

Ever since the two of them stumbled upon the Buddha statue, they found an excuse to stay in the village and never told anyone who they were. The village seemed to be a little repulsed by outsiders and wasn’t very welcoming. If outsiders insisted on staying, the other party wouldn’t refuse. Of course, that was on the condition that they had to abide by the village’s rules.

For example, they went out less at night, and outsiders weren’t allowed to enter the temple that the villagers had specially built. To the villagers, that temple was the most sacred place in the village. If outsiders barged in without permission, they would be punished. Xiao Shan and Wu Haoming said that they didn’t know what the punishment was, but it gave them a bad feeling.

As for how they knew that the village had built a temple for the Buddha statue, they had stumbled onto the village just when it was holding a temple event. At a certain time every year, the villagers would specially have the Buddha statue spend one night in their houses, and then send it back to the temple the next morning.

According to the villagers, this was their way of asking for the Buddha statue’s protection.

Xiao Shan and Wu Haoming had been staying in this village for several days, and what they were most clear about was that the people here valued this temple greatly and were very devout in their reverence for the Buddha statue.

Chi Shuyan and the others mulled over Xiao Shan and Wu Haoming’s words. From what they said, this village was indeed a little strange and mysterious.

While Chi Shuyan was pondering, Wu Haoming couldn’t help but say, “Master Chi, why do I feel that there’s something very wrong with this village? If Boss wants us to stay in this village, can we get a few more talismans?”

After Wu Haoming and Xiao Shan found out that there really were supernatural things in this world and had even run into a few major events, they had developed guts. Nevertheless, they still had a lot of fear and reverence for those creatures that were unknown and intangible.

Speaking of which, they would rather take on ten murders than come into contact with the supernatural, but thanks to Murphy’s Law, they kept running into this sort of thing.

The only thing that comforted them was that their boss had a very reliable Great Master for a friend. They had obtained a lot of good stuff and talismans from the Master before, so they felt a lot more reassured.

As soon as Wu Haoming said that, Xiao Shan immediately echoed him and looked at the young lady in front of him with a fawning smile. His smile was probably too bright, but a certain tall man’s eyes flashed, which Chi Shuyan didn’t notice.

This wasn’t a big deal and Chi Shuyan immediately agreed. There was another reason for it – this village gave her a very bad feeling. Almost as soon as she got out of the car, she had felt very stifled and suffocated, and had even felt a hint of inexplicable panic. This was the first time she had such a strong feeling. Even if Wu Haoming and Xiao Shan hadn’t said anything, Chi Shuyan would have given them a few talismans, just in case.

The two of them, and even Feng Yuanlin, didn’t sense anything strange. They couldn’t help but cheer at Master Chi’s straightforward agreement, which made them very happy.

Qi Zhenbai, on the other hand, tilted his head and looked at her. He restrained his expression and pursed his lips without saying anything.

“Other than that, did you notice anything strange in this village these past few days?” Feng Yuanlin asked again.
