Chapter 145: The Origin of Darkwater Town

“Aren’t we here to find out how Xiu He died? Why must you say that we’re here to sketch? We even wasted two hundred gold coins to buy things!” The crew-cut guy mumbled displeasingly.

“Didn’t you see their attitude when we asked about Xiu He? It’s nice that we can stay over, or do you have any better idea?” Xu Lan frowned and asked.

“I… You still shouldn’t have said that we’re here to sketch! Who else here knows how to draw except Sheng Ya? We would be exposed once we start drawing. We can say that we’re here for some archeological work!” The crew-cut guy argued reluctantly.

“Archeology? Hmph, what do you want to dig, graveyards? Archeology, those archeological tools are even more expensive!” Xu Lan said mockingly.

“But!”

“Enough! After finish packing, Niu Si will bring us to around to familiarize this place. Those who don’t want to go just stay put, don’t go out and stir troubles!” Bai Wu said coldly.

‘Pang’, the crew-cut guy threw the drawing board on the bed, “Sure enough, it’s different if you are under someone’s wing. I’ll stay here and sleep the whole afternoon, not going anywhere!”

“What did you say!” Xu Lan spat and kicked the bed before yelling at the crew-cut guy.

“Let it go, Papa. There’s more important things to attend to, let’s go look around Darkwater Town,” Bai Wu held back Xu Lan and said while suppressing his anger.

“Hmph!” Xu Lan’s temples were pounding. He turned around and looked at Bai Wu before leaving angrily. ‘F*ck, when did he need Bai Wu to look after him!’ Xu Lan thought.

After Xu Lan left, the group of people was relieved, as if a heavy weight was lifted from their mind. They followed behind Bai Wu, while Niu Si lead them to look around the town.

Initially, this town was not called Darkwater Town. It was known as the Green Dragon Village.

Forty years ago, they started clearing land to fulfill the government policies. People started dying without any reason in Darkwater Town. Those who died were young adults, and they all died in horrible ways. Rumors were that the people from the Green Dragon Village offended their ancesters and they were punished by them.

After a while, the death toll was still rising. The mayor was pressured to seek help from a Maushan Daoist. That poor Daoist told them that they disturbed the dragon’s vein, that this village could no longer be called as the Green Dragon Village. The northern Green Dragon Mountain should be left untouched. They also needed to direct a river here to wash the resentment away, and they had to cut off all connections with the outside world for the next two decades.

“No wonder, it feels weird here. It’s because it had lost contact with the outside world for twenty years,” Xu Lan said while he was absorbed in his own thoughts.

“He he, that poot Daoist said that it was the only way to protect our town. Although we were doubtful, better be safe than sorry, right?” Niu Si lifted his sun-kissed face and laughed honestly.

“Uhm, looks like we can add in some elements of Daoism and Feng Shui. I think you guys will like it,” Xu Lan nodded and said.

“Are there any unusual incidents in Darkwater Town recently?” Zhang Fei asked impatiently. All the while, he was following closely behind.

Niu Si’s smile disappeared immediately. He glared at Zhang Fei with his eyes as big as cowbells and remained silent.

“Ha ha ha, what big brother here meant was it felt like we were not really welcomed by you guys. We were splashed with two buckets of water when we went to the mayor’s house just now, ha ha,” Xu Lan hugged Niu Si’s shoulder and explained laughingly.

Bai Wu was following Xu Lan lazily but shot Zhang Fei with a stern look. How did such an impatient person live till today?

Zhang Fei knew that he made a mistake and lowered his head fearfully. He blamed himself for being too anxious. If he was the one who cost everyone to fail this mission, there would be countless pairs of eyes staring him from the dark to see him get kicked-off.

“Sigh… The mayor warned us not to spread this incident because it’s too peculiar!” Niu Si whispered into Xu Lan’s ears.
