There is a trick

Chapter 126: The Dizziness Banner (4K)

“Why is the Widow Village more evil?”

Shidanzi asked with a blank look in his eyes.

Although he is young, he has experienced many dangers in life.

In the small villages where they live, widows are often the easiest targets to bully.

What's so strange about a village full of widows?

The blind young man heard this and suddenly blushed. He stammered, "Any man who enters the Widow Village will be targeted by the widows. Once you get caught up in them, you will never be able to escape from the village. They will eat you up and you will end up staying in the Widow Village forever!"

His words, combined with his current expression, inevitably make people think about something far-fetched.

Yang Rui coughed a few times and said, "That is indeed very dangerous!"

"I wonder what's going on with Black Wasteland Mountain and the Village of Lost Children?" Zhou Chang changed the subject and asked the blind young man, "The so-called Village of Lost Children, does it mean that everyone in the village has lost their children?"

The blind young man nodded and said, "Yes, the people in the Lost Son Village are all poor people whose offspring died prematurely.

They are so absorbed in the grief of losing their children that they often ignore external affairs.

Therefore, it is safest for you to pass through the Wangzi Village and then go outside.

The Heihuang Mountain is a dangerous mountain in our area.

There is a big tomb in this mountain. Legend has it that a terrifying demon is buried in the tomb.

Recently, a group of people sneaked into the Black Wasteland Mountain and dug up the tombs there, resulting in unknown changes in the entire Black Wasteland Mountain... You must not go towards the Black Wasteland Mountain.

Many people have died in the Black Wasteland Mountain!"

After hearing the blind young man's explanation, Zhou Chang turned to look at Yang Rui next to him: "Dead Son Village, Widow Village, Black Wasteland Mountain... none of these places look like good places.

Why don't we go back and avoid this area and take another route?"

In fact, Zhou Chang felt in his heart that this "Blind Village", like several other villages and regions, also gave him a weird feeling.

"Okay." Yang Rui nodded.

The blind young man stood aside with a hesitant look in his eyes.

Zhou Chang turned around and saw his expression. He was moved and asked, "Brother, do you think there is something wrong with our arrangement?"

"Something strange has happened in Black Wasteland Mountain recently..." the blind young man whispered, "You have entered the territory of Black Wasteland Mountain. The more you try to take a detour, the closer you will get to it...

I want to take a detour, but I’m afraid I can’t do so.”

Yang Rui and Zhou Chang's faces suddenly changed when they heard this.

The blind man felt that the atmosphere had changed a bit, and hurriedly said, "It's hard to say. Maybe we can find a way out by taking a detour. Just treat me as talking nonsense!"

“It’s okay.

Thank you for reminding us." Zhou Chang smiled and asked Bai Xiu'e to take ten copper coins to the blind young man, and then said, "These copper coins are my running fee. Please accept them and don't refuse."

"This, this is so embarrassing..." The blind young man spoke hesitantly and slowly stretched out his hand to take the ten copper coins.

He then said goodbye to Zhou Chang and walked along the road towards his village, tapping the bamboo pole.

Zhou Chang watched the blind young man disappear into the distance. He turned around and sat down on a big rock by the roadside. He said to his companions, "Let's sit down and rest our feet. Let's take advantage of this time to discuss where to go next."

Hearing the voice, several people found a place and sat down around Zhou Chang.

"How credible do you think what the blind man said is?" Zhou Chang looked around at everyone and asked.

"There's no reason for him to deceive us, right?" Shi Danzi said with his eyes wide open. "I think everything he said is true. He didn't lie."

"Children should not interrupt when adults are talking!" Yang Rui glared at Shi Danzi, causing him to shrink his neck and dare not speak again.

Yang Rui turned to look at Zhou Chang and said, "I think the blind man's words are only 60% credible."

Bai Xiu'e shook her head and said nothing.

His father took over Yang Rui's words and said, "Only six points can be trusted... then not even one point can be trusted."

As soon as these two sentences came out, Zhou Chang turned his gaze to Bai's father: "Uncle Bai, what do you think?"

“If only six points are credible, then the remaining four points are lies.

When truth is mixed with lies, I cannot bear to hear a single word.

How do you know which of his words are true and which are false? If you listen to him, you will inevitably be misled by him. " said Father Bai.

What he said made a lot of sense, and even an old hand like Yang Rui nodded in agreement.

"We have never met him before, and we have no grudge against him.

They are from the Blind Village, and they have a history with Brother Yang - why would he deliberately use such fake words to deceive us?" Zhou Chang frowned, "Although everyone in that village is blind, they are indeed living people, and there is no sign of being infected by the feasting thoughts.

There must be a reason for deceiving us?"

"Yeah..." Father Bai was also quite confused.

As an elder like him, he knows better that the world is difficult and people’s hearts are treacherous.

But even though people are evil, there are still very few people who harm others for no reason.

Why would that blind man harm these people?
Aren’t they afraid that they will turn around, return to their village, and bring charges against them?

“I just felt that the blind man was hesitant in his words and his words were not sincere.

But whether what he said was true or not is not something that I, an old man, can determine with just a few words. "Yang Rui hesitated at this time, "Maybe, he didn't lie, but just concealed something?"

"Um……"

Zhou Chang pondered for a moment, then stood up on his knees.

He pulled the reins of the donkey and mule, and said to the people who followed him and stood up, "Since we can't listen to the blind man now, there is no need to go forward and see what the road ahead is like.

First turn around and go back to the blind man's village.

Find the blind man and try to trick him with words to see if you can get something out of him.

Anyway, I remember his home address. "

Everyone nodded.

The group returned along the same route, preparing to go back to the blind village, find the blind young man, and try to get some information out of him.

The trees are sparse.

There were still hoof prints of the donkey and mule on the path, as well as a few piles of feces left behind.

Zhou Chang dragged the sick mule around for several days. According to Yang Rui's instructions, he did not give it any medicine to treat its illness. Instead, it gradually got better and no longer had diarrhea, but it didn't look very energetic.

The few of them walked along the original route for a long time, their pace gradually slowed down, and finally they stopped by the roadside and gathered together again.

"At this pace, we should have been able to walk two round trips by now." Yang Rui looked a little serious, "But now, let alone walking back and forth - we haven't even seen the shadow of the Blind Village." "This is a straight road, there are no detours, and we are lost by going around in circles.

There is no sign of the Blind Village ahead, and I wonder if the place where we rested before is still there?" Zhou Chang frowned, "The blind man said that something strange has happened in the Black Wasteland Mountain. Anyone who walks into the Black Wasteland Mountain will get closer to it the more they try to avoid it.

But we haven't seen any trace of the Black Wasteland Mountain yet.

What's happening here? "

"A ghost has blinded us?" Yang Rui frowned, "Go a little further and leave marks on the trees along the way.

If that doesn’t work, let’s go back and try again!”

"This is the only way." Zhou Chang nodded.

The group set out again and, following Yang Rui's instructions, walked a little further, leaving various marks on the trees along the way.

The distance they had walked had already exceeded the distance back to the Blind Village, but there was still no sign of the Blind Village ahead.

Instead, repetitive marks left by Zhou Chang and others began to appear on the trees along the road.

——At this moment, this straight road seemed to have turned into a circle.

Everyone is trapped in this circle, walking around over and over again, experiencing the same cycle over and over again!

But when everyone no longer insisted on returning to the Blind Village and turned back to the place where they had rested before, the situation was different again. It only took them a short time to return to the place where they had rested before!

The big rock where Zhou Chang had sat before was now clean, retaining traces of the dust that Zhou Chang had swept away before!

"It's really a ghost that has blinded my eyes!"

Yang Rui raised his eyes and looked around, his expression becoming more serious.

……

"Bang bang bang!"

The blind young man "Hu Asi" used the bamboo pole in his hand to explore the way and walked quickly.

The wild and dead trees on the path were connected in a continuous row, all the way to the end of the path.

At the end of the road, the outlines of the dilapidated houses in the Blind Village gradually emerged.

"Oh!"

Hu Asi knocked the soil under his feet with the bamboo pole again. Suddenly, he seemed to have sensed something and stopped.

His shoulders trembled, and he turned his head away.

At this moment, there was a hint of light in the young man's empty and dead eyes.

The faint light reflected the desolate scene of withered vines, old trees and wild grass on the ground. In Hu Asi's eyes, this scene gradually turned from hazy to clear.

Hu Asi immediately turned around and looked down at his hands.

The palm lines on both hands are also clearly visible at this time!

“I can see it!”

Hu Asi shouted in his heart, threw away the bamboo pole in his hand, increased his speed, and ran towards "Da'an Village".

The sound of his footsteps 'awoke' the dilapidated houses in Da'an Village.

The gates of the houses were open a crack.

The blind villagers poked their heads out from the gaps, their faces turning towards Hu Asi who was running towards them with a look of joy on his face. Their eyes were still empty, without a trace of light.

But there was a certain desire in their voices:

"Ah Si, Ah Si, what's wrong?"

"Did the Zezhi Banner fulfill your wish?"

"Are your eyes okay? Hu Ah Si!"

Hu Asi ignored the crowd's chaotic questions, he hurriedly crossed the street and ran straight to his home - he pushed the door open, turned back to lock it, and walked straight into the main room.

Outside the four walls, the sound of the blind men from Da'an Village knocking on wooden poles could be heard everywhere.

"Bang bang bang!"

"Bang bang bang!"

The sound of the bamboo pole hitting the ground came from far away and gradually became louder outside Hu Asi's house.

"Dad, Mom, little sister, little brother, I can see something with my eyes!

Are your eyes healed?!"

As soon as Hu Asi entered the main hall, he saw his parents and his younger sister and brother gathered there.

They had all dropped the bamboo poles they relied on to find their way. At this time, their eyes were clear. When they heard Hu Asi's call, they turned back and looked at Hu Asi.

"Ah Si, you did a great job!

Your mother, your younger sister and your younger brother can all see it!

Our family can see now!" The father's eyes were filled with joy, and he patted Hu Asi's shoulder heavily.

Hu Ah Si confirmed one by one that the blindness of his relatives had finally been cured, and his face was filled with joy: "I saw that there were five living people in total, so I quickly went to talk to them and led them out of the village - according to the wish I made before the God of the Fanzao Banner, whoever brings outsiders into Da'an Village can immediately get his eyes back!

The five of them lost their eyes, and the five of us regained our eyes!"

"That's great, that's great!" Hu's father's eyes were filled with tears. "We are a family that is blind and has to live in such a shabby village, enduring hunger every day. Now we have finally waited for these outsiders to come and give us back our eyes!

I thought we would have to stay blind until we die in this shabby village for the rest of our lives!
God have mercy on me, God have mercy on me!"

"It was the Black Wasteland Mountain that had the strange change first, otherwise how could an outsider happen to walk into the outside of Da'an Village?
In the past, the Black Wilderness Mountain was blocking the way outside, and passers-by would have gone around it as far as they could see the mountain. But now the Black Wilderness Mountain has grown legs and is running everywhere. The roadblock in front of Da'an Village is gone, and there will surely be a constant stream of passers-by coming and going!
The blind people here will be able to regain their eyesight in the future!" Hu Asi said repeatedly.

Hu Xiaomei hesitated and said, "We got our eyes back, but those outsiders lost their eyes... If we do this, will it be too——"

Before she could finish her words, she saw her father suddenly turn his head and stare at her with a ferocious look on his face!
Father Hu grabbed Hu Xiaomei's neck, and two fingers with sharp nails were about to stab into Hu Xiaomei's eye sockets and dig her eyes out: "Your eyes were also bought by your own brother in exchange for the eyes of outsiders!
If you don't want your father, just dig it out and feed it to the dog!"

Mother Hu also chimed in: "Weren't we also outsiders in the past? Who in this village is not an outsider?

The monsters that crawled out of the graves in the Dark Wilderness Mountains tricked us into gathering here, and after exchanging our eyes, they each fled back to the human world - now it's our turn to get a pair of good eyes and return to the human world to live a good life!

If you want to stay here, then gouge out your eyes and stay here!"

Hu Xiaomei looked at her father with a ferocious face, her mother with a harsh expression and a sharp voice, and her younger brother who was staring at her coldly not far away. Tears streamed from her eyes and her face was full of fear.

Her parents and brothers today are very different from the strict father and kind mother, friendly brothers and respectful younger brothers she had in mind.

They seem to be ghosts in the guise of their parents and brothers.
