Cannon fodder? Thats right, Qian Ye was indeed cannon fodder once, but he just stepped on a landmine, and the landmine didnt explode.

  "Theres a corpse aura, blood mixed with sand, this is going to cost lives!" Qian Ye was an expert and spotted the problem at a glance.

  Zha Wenbin turned around and pointed to the woods, saying: "This is a place for raising corpses. I dont know why Master Qian wants to make such a big fuss about coming here, but if you dig down below, none of you will be able to leave."

  "Quite understand?" Mr Qian couldnt help but take a closer look at Zha Wenbin and said.

  Cha Wenbin didnt echo his words, but simply said: "I just want my people."

  "This person isnt someone I brought, judging from this notebook it should be my boss. This time Im just a worker too." Qian Ye pointed to the group of people with equipment beside him and said to Cha Wenbin: "This young man has some skills, hes a good material, dont do stupid things. You can imagine what kind of person my boss is. Im someone who appreciates talent, if you want to follow me, I guarantee Ill treat you like one of my own. As for your people, theres nothing I can do."

  "No need to tell me if theres a way, just tell me where the person is."

  "Qian Ye raised an eyebrow and said: What makes you think so?"

  "Thanks to the gold your ancestors left behind!"

  "Money Grandfather was shocked: "Do you know?""

  "At least I can tell you where it is." Zhang Wenbin stretched out his hand and blocked the way: "Wait until I find someone, and naturally they will say something."

  "Alright!" Old Qian gave Cha Wenbin a signal and called him over to one side, whispering something in his ear. Then he patted Chas shoulder and said loudly enough for everyone to hear: "From now on, when youre on the road, just mention my name and theyll give you some face." With that, he waved his hand at the crowd and shouted: "Lets go, were done for today!"

  There are two abandoned houses on the hillside behind Ye Ren Village. These two houses were originally used by forest rangers, but have been abandoned for many years.

  Twenty years ago, the owner of these two houses was a couple who had been married for fifteen years and still had no children. They were typical middle and lower peasants. At that time, the village arranged for them to be forest rangers in order to take care of them, so they could earn some grain and work points every month.

  For some unknown reason, the couple hanged themselves from the wooden beam of their forest cabin overnight. When they were found, the dishes on their dinner table had only been half-eaten, with no warning signs whatsoever.

  After the funeral, the person in charge of washing the womans body was a midwife from the village who said that the woman was already four months pregnant. Since she was pregnant, having an heir would be the best thing for them, why did they still want to commit suicide? Unfortunately, in that era, no one pursued it further, leaving behind only one clue worth pondering: there were three sets of bowls and chopsticks on the dinner table that year, meaning there was another person who had eaten with them. Who this person is remains unknown to this day.

  Why mention this house? Its because Master Qian told Cha Wenbin that he was in there.

  Maybe others dont know, but were clear that this is also a forbidden place for the Wild Man Village, an unpublicized forbidden place!

  Places where lives have been lost, especially those who died unjustly, are prone to paranormal activity, also known as "hitting evil".

  In the sixth year, a few children in Tunzi Village went up the mountain to pick wild chestnuts. They saw a couple in the house and were invited to drink meat soup. The children told the adults about it when they returned. When people went up the mountain to check, there was no couple, but a pot of stinky dead mice was simmering on the stove. Later, several children contracted dysentery one after another, vomiting and diarrhea, and one died in just a few days. Some people said that the couple was haunting them, so some parents of the children who had the accident wanted to burn down the house with fire.

  This thing is indeed quite strange, just as the big fire was lit, the sky began to rain heavily, and it rained for more than half a month. Some people said that the ghosts on the other side didnt let them move. Others said they saw the couple in the village, sitting at the entrance of the village crying, saying dont let the villagers burn their house. In short, these things were spread very mysteriously at that time. The so-called "ghosts" still had enough power to calm down a group of farmers who had never left the mountain, and the house was preserved like this.

  Weve never been to that place either, nobody wants to look for trouble on their own, only knows the general location, after hearing what Qian Ye said, in order to find Yuan Xiaobai, who cares about the forbidden land, we have to go even if we dont want to.

  The house was easy to find, and after two hours of mountain roads, we arrived. The slightly dilapidated building had weeds growing all over its walls, and the gate of the courtyard only had half left. A patch of blackness at the corner of the wall showed that it had experienced a big fire. I shouted for Yuan Xiaobai several times at the door, but there was no response. A few people pretended to be brave and walked in.

  Unexpectedly, there was indeed someone in the courtyard, and it was a woman!

  An old woman with a head full of silver hair sat on a worn-out armchair, the wrinkles on her face couldnt hide her beauty in her youth, and her eyes were still clear and bright. The old woman wore a white dress, with a small green snake coiled around her arm, its eyes glowing red.

  This person doesnt look like a good egg at all. He has an air about him. This old lady is definitely not a kind soul. Is she the legendary boss?

  But before I could even think about it for three seconds, someone couldnt help but speak up. The fat guy was the first to open his mouth and said: "Old lady, youre not at home enjoying your life, why are you running around here causing trouble? If I didnt see that youre old and a woman, I..."

  At this time, the old man who had been leaning on the armchair with his eyes closed laughed and said: "Whats wrong with you? Are you still trying to bully me, an old woman?"

  I admit, when she smiles, she looks almost like the grandma next door from my childhood, and even more approachable. Peoples guard also drops accordingly, because most people would think she is indeed a kind-hearted old lady.

  I thought so, but Wen Bin didnt necessarily think that way. His thinking was already no different from ordinary people at that time. Just listen to his one sentence and wake us up: "Old man, is your body okay after climbing up this wild mountain?"

  The old woman burst out laughing again: "Good, very good indeed!"

  Cha Wenbin took a step forward, clasped his fists and bowed, saying "Im saying, youre fine, why did you crawl out from underground to the ground? If you lack something, just tell me, your junior, and Ill send it over. Your junior is here to find someone, doesnt dare disturb your rest, if theres nothing else, please go back."

  The old ladys face changed in an instant, and her previous benevolent appearance was gone. Cha Wenbin immediately pulled me and Pangzi behind him. The Seven-Star Sword in his hand was drawn out with a "swoosh" sound, and his right hand swiftly grasped a yellow talisman. Before I could even see it clearly, the talisman had already been ignited and he held it as he rushed towards the old lady.

  The person hadnt arrived yet, but the chair was already empty, only leaving behind a worn-out armchair making "creaking" sounds. Just under our eyelids, the person vanished into thin air. At that moment, I realized that an old saying had finally been proven true: seeing a ghost in broad daylight!

  Fatso stared with his eyes and asked: "Ghost?"

  Cha Wenbin turned his back to us and didnt respond, lowering his head to glance around, the talisman in his hand still burning, almost reaching his fingertips when he pressed it onto that chair. Then, from his pocket, he pulled out a handful of soybeans and flung them at the chair with a loud clatter. After the noise subsided, Cha Wenbin, with his left foot as the center, used his right foot to draw a circle on the spot at an extremely fast speed.

  Then came the second talisman, with a different color from the previous one. The green paper had black characters, and as soon as it was thrown out, the Seven Star Sword in his hand followed closely behind. Before the paper even hit the ground, the sword tip accurately pierced through the talisman paper, almost at the same time sticking to the center of the circle drawn with his right foot.

  The soil here is said to be yellow, with few rocks, but a young man under the age of twenty, with an ordinary-looking iron sword, quietly inserted it into the ground, and in the blink of an eye, only the hilt was left, along with the traditional paper money quietly lying on the ground.

  All this happened between the sparks, and then another incredible thing happened. The green paper quickly became wet and turned brown, a faint smell of blood floated in the air, even I could smell it.

  "Harmful things, but no harm!" After finishing speaking, Cha Wenbin only lightly raised it, and the sword followed by being pulled out. A dark red liquid slowly flowed out with the sword body, until finally it started splashing everywhere, but his sword didnt have a single drop on it. Under the sunlight, it still looked ordinary, unremarkable, the dull sword body seemed desolate.
