Abandoned by the best children? I just take out the space

Chapter 2122 Sleepwalking

"But I'm still worried." Wan Shufang pursed her lips, lowered her head and buried it in his chest.

The man suddenly stood up, dragged her up with him, and coaxed her softly: "Since you are worried, let's go in person. We can't sleep anyway, so it's not too late to go to the village now."

Hearing this, Wan Shufang's eyes lit up and she nodded vigorously. The two of them hit it off immediately, got up, packed up, and headed for the village late at night.

But as soon as I arrived in the village, I saw the villagers walking towards one place as if they were sleepwalking.

"What's going on? Where are they going?"

"That direction seems to be where the spirit stone is. Let's follow it quickly."

Without bothering to find out the reason, Chen Changli and Wan Shufang followed the villagers all the way and saw them walking straight towards the mine. Hiding in the dark, they found that the villagers gradually stopped and knelt on the ground in a trance.

They began to kneel down towards the mine with expressionless faces, and in front of them, there was only a stone, and no one else.

"Could it be that this stone contains radioactive substances, which caused the villagers to lose their minds..." Wan Shufang murmured, her eyes falling on the stone with a hint of inquiry.

If this is true, and the ore contains radioactive substances, long-term exposure will indeed cause damage to the nervous system, then their current actions are understandable.

Chen Changli was confused by Wan Shufang's words, but he still caught the key word: this stone was the culprit!

"I'll destroy the stone now." Chen Changli said in a low voice. After he finished speaking, he was about to rush out, but was held tightly by Wan Shufang.

"Chen Changli, you can't go."

"Didn't you see what those villagers did? They obviously regarded the stone as a god. If you rush out now, you will only be besieged. Let's wait and see."

It would not be too late for them to destroy the stone after the villagers left. On the other side, the villagers were still kowtowing and muttering something. Due to the distance, the two men could not hear what they were saying, so they could only take the risk and walk in, wanting to go to the front and take a look.

Suddenly, the mine shook violently and several large rocks fell down, instantly injuring several villagers, but they remained calm and just dodged slowly.

The mine was shaking more and more violently, and the ore was cracking. Wan Shufang held Chen Changli's hand tightly and leaned against the stone wall to barely stand steady. Looking at the cracks, Wan Shufang's eyes narrowed: "Oh no, the mine has collapsed."

"The ore inside..." Taking advantage of the chaos, Wan Shufang took out the detector. Almost instantly, the detector's value was full. She quickly took out the protective mask: "Chen Changli, put it on quickly, there are all radioactive ores in here."

Hearing this, Chen Changli quickly took the protective mask and put it on. He looked at the crowd with a panic expression: "But what about those people?"

"They have already been affected by the ore. It doesn't matter whether they wear masks or not. Let's not worry about it for now. Besides, even if we give them masks, they don't have to wear them."

Wan Shufang frowned and looked at the people. As if they felt the gazes of the two men, the villagers turned their heads suddenly and looked at them straight.

Their eyes were blurry, but they couldn't help but pick up sticks and rush towards the two men.

"No, they are going to attack us."

Chen Changli's face darkened. He pulled Wan Shufang away from the villagers and hurried down the mountain. However, the villagers chased him relentlessly. Seeing that the wooden stick was about to hit Wan Shufang on the head, Chen Changli quickly turned around and held her tightly in his arms.

"Hmm..." He groaned as the stick hit his body. His eyes were gloomy and he kicked the villager in the chest, sending him flying.

"Chen Changli, are you okay?"

"It's okay, let's go."

Chen Changli held Wan Shufang's hand, no longer giving in, and attacked quickly, but they could not kill the villagers and their movements were restricted. After a fierce fight, the two finally broke through the encirclement and escaped successfully.

They did not dare to stay and hurried back to the inn. It was already dawn and the villagers seemed to have returned to normal and started to live their lives as usual.

Looking at this strange town, Wan Shufang felt cold all over: "Changli, this village is too weird, I'm afraid it will be difficult to investigate."

Hearing this, Chen Changli also fell silent. He still felt a dull pain in his shoulder, which was caused by the villagers hitting him with sticks just now. Now, the body had not been identified and the villagers had another problem.

The fog was thick and things seemed to be at a stalemate.

After pondering for a long time, Wan Shufang suddenly had an idea and said anxiously: "Perhaps, we can start with the elderly in the village and find out why there are so many radioactive ores in this village."

"These villagers are normal at least during the day."

"This is the only way." Chen Changli took a deep breath, got up and changed his clothes, and then the two of them went out.

They did not rush to find the old people in the village, but went to the teahouse first and had breakfast before starting to act.

I visited everywhere, asked around, and solicited information from the elders in the village, but those people didn't know what this place was used for in the past.

This made Wan Shufang a little dejected. She wiped the sweat from her forehead and knocked on the last door, but the result was still the same.

"Strange! They have lived here for a long time, why do they know nothing about this place?" Wan Shufang frowned, her eyes full of anxiety.

"I don't know either. Maybe it has something to do with those stones."

Since stones can make people confused, maybe they can also affect their memory.

Just when the two were at their wits' end, Wan Shufang suddenly found an old woman holding a child on the street. At this moment, the woman was telling the child stories about the village in the past.

Wan Shufang's eyes were burning. With a try-it attitude, she quickly stepped forward and said, "Old lady, I also want to know about the village's past. Can you tell me everything you know?"

As she spoke, Wan Shufang took out a silver ingot and stuffed it into the old woman's arms: "These are my reward for watching the opera."

She was all smiles, but the old woman returned the silver.

"You can listen if you want. You don't have to pay for it."

"This village has a long history." The old man's eyes were empty, as if he was lost in memories. His wrinkled face was full of relief: "The village existed a long time ago and has experienced several wars."

"That place is the former Crow Ridge. It was also the place where the two countries fought. The government once dug a cellar here to refine cold weapons."

When the old woman talked about past wars, her hoarse voice suddenly rose, unable to hide her excitement, as if she were there herself. From her description, Wan Shufang also felt the cruelty of war.

The artillery fire was raging, and the land stained red with blood was every inch of the land we were standing on.

Wan Shufang didn't know if it was an illusion, but she always felt that even after so much time had passed, a faint red color could still be seen on the ground.

"Later, the cellar was dug bigger and bigger, and gradually evolved into a smelting plant. After the war, this place has survived to this day and has remained prosperous."
