Chapter 111: Chapter 108: All Men Are Dead; The Curse of the Gulan Clan

Qin Zhao voiced her doubts, but Lan Xi said, "I can’t tell you the reason, since you’ve noticed the problem, you know how inappropriate his appearance here is, you mustn’t let him leave."

"Okay then."

Qin Zhao ate a special vegetable ball made by the Gulan Clan, and it was quite tasty.

"Then take me to that tomb site later."

Lan Xi nodded, then left.

As Qin Zhao ate, she mumbled, "Could it be that I’ve entered the Land of Women?"

"Are there really no men outside at all?"

"Yeah, it’s all women. Whenever I went somewhere, they’d size me up, probably because outsiders rarely come here."

Qin Zhao deliberately scared him, "If you went out, wouldn’t you be gobbled up?"

Chu Yan thought of a group of women gawking at him like a monkey and felt his scalp tingle.

Fortunately, he didn’t go out just now, and he didn’t want to anymore.

"Be careful when you go to the tomb site later."

She wanted to say, if you encounter danger, call me.

Then Chu Yan remembered, there’s no signal here, their cell phones are useless.

He frowned, still a bit worried about Qin Zhao going to the tomb site alone.

"Maybe I should come with you?"

"How would you come with me? Dressed as a woman?"

Qin Zhao eyed Chu Yan’s features, handsome and delicate.

If he put on a wig and did some makeup, he might actually pass off as real.

Chu Yan took a deep breath and made up his mind, "It’s not impossible."

"But there’s no wig, no large women’s clothing, just stay put. If I encounter an Evil Object in the tomb, I’d have to take care of you too."

That’s when Chu Yan realized, his wife is an expert at ghost-hunting, he should be worried about himself.

And so, Chu Yan stayed behind, alone in the room.

They finished their breakfast, and Qin Zhao took the basket and empty bowls out to clean them before returning them to Lan Xi.

"Let’s go, I’ll take you to the tomb site."

Lan Xi had just finished speaking when her mother came over.

"The Clan Leader heard that foreigners have arrived and is calling for you. Lan Xi, take them over," she said.

Lan Xi frowned slightly, "What does the Clan Leader want?"

"Didn’t you say she’s the village official? It’s probably about the relocation."

Lan Xi asked in surprise, "Has the Clan Leader decided to move us out?"

Her mother sighed deeply, "Right now, whether we move or not, neither is good. The Clan Leader has been troubled these days. Hearing that people from town were here, she wanted to meet them."

Lan Xi didn’t tell her mother the truth, so the woman really believed Qin Zhao was an official from the town.

"Then let’s meet."

Suddenly, Qin Zhao spoke up, Lan Xi hesitantly looked at her.

As if asking, can you handle this?

Qin Zhao gave her a confirming look, reassuring her.

Lan Xi led Qin Zhao out, while Qin Zhao asked Tengshe to stay behind temporarily.

She had thought the Clan Leader would be an old lady, but she wasn’t, appearing to be around thirty years old, well-maintained, with beautiful features, wearing the Gulan Clan’s traditional attire, exuding a mysterious and elegant aura.

Upon seeing Qin Zhao, the Clan Leader introduced herself, "Hello, I am Lan Shu, the Clan Leader of the Gulan Clan."

"Hello, I am Qin Zhao."

The Clan Leader’s house was much nicer than Lan Xi’s.

The guest room was antique and elegant.

The desk held fresh tea and fruits, and they all sat on the ground.

Two women stood by the Clan Leader’s side, Lan Xi said they were elders.

Qin Zhao truly felt as though she had entered the Land of Women.

Clan Leader Lan Shu said, "You’re a female official from the town? What brings you here this time?"

"Yes, just like the people who came before, they want you to move out. There have been significant changes outside, and the government will provide proper resettlement for you so that you can have a better life."

Qin Zhao answered with a smile, as fluent as a flowing river.

Lan Shu glanced at the two elders beside her, their expressions somewhat complex.

Within that complexity seemed to hide a hint of annoyance.

One of the elders murmured quietly, "Why isn’t it a male official who has come?"

As soon as she finished murmuring, another elder beside her tugged at her clothes, signaling her to refrain from speaking recklessly.

"Our situation here is truly not great. The houses are old, and our people are dwindling; constructing new ones is very difficult. If there were a major flood, the houses by the river would be washed away.

The last time there was a flood disaster, quite a few people died."

"I noticed that there are only women here, where are your husbands?"

Qin Zhao had hardly seen any children, so he didn’t know if there were any boys.

The faces of Lan Shu and the two elders turned sour, and they fell silent for a long time.

"Sorry, did I ask something I shouldn’t have?"

"It doesn’t matter, the last people who came asked as well."

But when they came last time, there were still men in their clan.

Lan Shu wasn’t angry and explained with good temper, "There were originally very few men here; we practice polygamy. It must be some curse from the heavens that every time there is a flood, the men meet with misfortune."

Qin Zhao nodded, so it turned out they had died in the floods.

"Then, I think it would be better for you to move out, there are many jobs suitable for women outside. Once the government has settled you in, you can earn money to support yourselves."

"We can support ourselves now too, it’s just that the flooding issue is hard to resolve."

"Living near the water, it’s inevitable to encounter such problems."

Lan Shu pondered for a moment, "Perhaps we really can only move out."

"Oh right, a cemetery was discovered near your ancestral land, do you know someone named Kang Youfu?"

Qin Zhao had even let Hellhound investigate the whereabouts of Dragon Horn today; she thought Hellhound would directly lead her to the cemetery, but it had hovered around the Gulan Clan’s area.

Could Kang Youfu be in the Gulan Clan? But there were no men here.

Or there was only one possibility.

Kang Youfu had come to the Gulan Clan and then left, but Dragon Horn remained here.

"No!"

Lan Shu and the other two elders answered almost simultaneously.

After speaking, Lan Shu coughed lightly.

This reaction was very telling; it was clear they knew the name.

Qin Zhao could almost be certain that Kang Youfu had been to the Gulan Clan!

So it was very likely that Dragon Horn was here.

"I see, well then."

Qin Zhao did not continue to inquire, "That was about a friend of mine, he said he wanted to come here, so I just asked on a whim."

Lan Shu nodded and began asking about the outside world.

It was obvious she was changing the subject, which caused Qin Zhao to narrow her eyes slightly.

She briefly talked about the situation outside, and then it was noon.

"Miss Qin, would you like to stay for lunch?"

"Lan Xi has come looking for me."

Qin Zhao looked towards the doorway and saw Lan Xi standing there.

Lan Shu then said to Lan Xi, "Xi girl, tell your mother to take good care of our guest."

"I understand, Clan Leader."

Qin Zhao walked out, and Lan Xi asked her with concern, "Did you ask about that man? Did the Clan Leader give you a hard time?"

Lan Xi was referring to the man Qin Zhao was looking for.

Qin Zhao nodded, "Yes, she said she hadn’t seen him and didn’t give me a hard time."

"It seems the Clan Leader really wants to take us out of here."

Otherwise, when Qin Zhao asked about that man, the Clan Leader wouldn’t have let it go so easily.

"Why can’t you move out?"

"There’s a curse; leaving will bring a terrible death."
