Chapter 583: Everyone Instantly Understood

Because it is said that when "Yin soldiers pass the road," all animals will run far away.

That gloomy scene would make all animals unable to stand it, and of course, humans couldn't stand it either.

However, for any people who didn't have time to hide, as long as they didn't make eye contact with the Yin soldiers, the Yin soldiers wouldn't do anything to them.

Even if they really made eye contact with the Yin soldiers, as long as their hearts weren't panicked and their hands weren't shaking, and they didn't make screams or fearful sounds, the Yin soldiers couldn't do anything to them either.

At most, it would make people fall into a serious illness afterward; as long as they were treated normally, it would definitely not take a person's life.

To put it plainly, it's actually that as long as the mind is stable and the will is firm, even if the Yin soldiers want to detain your soul, they can't do it.

Besides that, it is said that those butchers and executioners generally won't fear these things.

Because the minds of these people, that is, their psychological quality, are all very tough! And these people, perhaps because they have killed too many living things, carry a murderous aura, and murderous aura is something that those ghosts fear.

Of course, these were all told by the elderly in the village when they were chatting; whether it is true or false is impossible to verify.

But Wang An felt that what they said actually made a lot of sense.

Even setting aside "Yin soldiers borrowing the road" and "Yin soldiers passing the road," as well as those "immortals, demons, ghosts, and monsters," if a person can remain very calm in any situation, then this person is definitely not an ordinary person.

The group rode on horses, looking around from time to time, hoping to find some living creatures.

Unfortunately, until the group walked to the vicinity of the pit, they didn't find any breathing things.

Arriving at the place where Wang An could explore the inside of the pit yesterday, he found that the entire pit was filled with fog, and he couldn't see anything.

But this is also normal, because in the Northeast, even in many mountain hollows or villages, there is a lot of fog in the morning.

And when the fog is very thick, the visibility is quite low.

But on the mountaintops or ridges, perhaps because of the wind or temperature, the fog is very thin.

In a situation where nothing could be seen, the group could only lead their horses into the shrubbery.

After hiding the horses in the shrubbery, Wang Shuai, Zhang Shuya, and Sun Nian went to look for hidden sentries again.

In fact, logically speaking, the significance of finding hidden sentries was no longer great.

After all, according to what Da Yan said, now, excluding the laborers, Ma Zhengshan's group only had 3 people left in the entire pit.

With 3 people, they still had to spare manpower to watch the laborers work; in this way, one could imagine how much combat power Ma Zhengshan could still have.

In fact, what Da Yan didn't know was that after he and "Gan Zi" left, Ma Zhengshan ordered the confiscation of one person's guns and ammunition.

Therefore, Ma Zhengshan being able to send 8 people to attack Wang An and the others was already the most combat power he could send.

Because after sending these 8 people away, Ma Zhengshan only had one subordinate left.

It must be said that Ma Zhengshan is truly ruthless; not only is he ruthless to others, ruthless to his own people, but he is also ruthless to himself!

20 minutes later, Wang Shuai, Zhang Shuya, and Sun Nian returned.

Wang Shuai said very relaxedly: "I wandered around a big circle, not a single hidden sentry, quite good." Just as Wang Shuai finished speaking, Sun Nian added:

"Mm, it's truly strange, not only are there no hidden sentries, but there isn't even a breathing thing."

Zhang Shuya frowned and said with a serious face:

"I always feel it's very wrong; it's okay that there are no living things on the road, but there are no living things in this place either. I feel that before we lay in ambush yesterday, the first wave of sound seemed... seemed to be... seemed to be people who weren't very clean."

Pausing twice, Zhang Shuya still didn't dare to say the four words "Yin soldiers borrowing the road," just using "people who weren't very clean" to replace it.

To tell the truth, in this era, almost everyone is very sensitive and taboo about things like "Yin soldiers borrowing the road," and they almost never mention it actively in the mountains.

After all, whether it's "Frightened Horse Trough," or during "Big Earthquake," etc...

Things like "Yin soldiers borrowing the road" have appeared, and most importantly, there is more than one person who has seen it with their own eyes, but many, many people.

Besides, many historical books also have records, such as "Taiping Guangji," "Old History of the Five Dynasties," "History of Jin," etc., all have introductions in this regard.

So it is completely understandable that Wang Shuai, Zhang Shuya, and the group would taboo mentioning things about "Yin soldiers borrowing the road."

Fortunately, although Zhang Shuya didn't say it clearly, everyone instantly understood.

Mainly because at this time, there was no electricity in the village, let alone television sets, and radios were also quite rare, which meant that people's entertainment life was quite simple.

This led to the fact that when people were idle at home in winter, children would pester their elders to tell stories.

And these stories, besides some folk tales, were mostly weird events passed down by word of mouth; to be precise, they were actually things about "gods, ghosts, immortals, demons, and monsters."

You must know that children might not remember the text when learning Chinese, might not remember the formulas when learning math, and might not remember the words when learning foreign languages, but if they remember these stories, they might never forget them for a lifetime.

So not only Wu Dong, Wang Shuai, and the others understood, but Wang An and Feng Chengmin's four also understood.

Although taboo, the things that needed to be done still had to be done, so Wang An frowned and said:

"Whatever people they are, ignore them, let's do what we should do. It's better that there are no hidden sentries; let's do it like yesterday, 'rattle' and talk after."

After Wang An finished speaking, he took the lead and walked toward yesterday's shooting position.

But before Wang An had walked a few steps, Feng Chengmin pulled Wang An and said: "Xiao An, I say let's wait until the fog clears before shooting; the place inside is also quite large, how many bullets would it take to 'rattle' the whole place?"

Wang An felt that this made a lot of sense upon hearing it, so he turned to the group and said:

"That's fine, then let's wait a while. Anyway, listening to Da Yan's meaning, there aren't many people left inside. In my opinion, let's not run around in four directions; let's 'rattle' together and be done with it. What do you say?"

Hearing Wang An's words, everyone nodded subconsciously and stopped their steps almost at the same time, each finding a dry and loose place to sit on the ground.

Perhaps because of "Yin soldiers borrowing the road," or perhaps because it was too quiet around, everyone had no interest in talking, but all frowned and didn't know what they were thinking.

Sitting like this, an hour passed.
