I don't know how long it was, it was about midnight.
"Ah......h
A terrible scream suddenly came from the silent village, waking up the three people in the ancestral hall. The eyes of the three people locked on the door at the same time, and their weapons were already clenched in their hands.
But......
After this scream, silence returned. The three of them glanced at each other, and then stood up, Yuan Ye took the lead in front of the ancestral hall, stretched out his hand and gently pushed the door open.
"Squeak......
The door made a tooth-aching sound that echoed in the silent night sky.
All three drew their swords, prepared for defense, and stared out. But there was no trace of it, and it was still empty.
Yuan Ye looked at Qin Shuang, Qin Shuang nodded, Yuan Ye walked out of the gate, Qin Shuang and Qin Yunxia followed closely, standing in the middle of the village road, looking back and forth, only the three of them were shadows, and they could no longer see the slightest trace.
The night was like a curtain, as if a cage was enveloping the three of them, and the air seemed to become stagnant and stressful, pressing towards the three of them, and the houses on both sides seemed to have become monsters staring at the three of them.
Qin Yunxia's body had begun to tremble, Yuan Ye's expression was normal, after all, he had also experienced a lot of wars, but he was nervous. His nervousness came from Qin Shuang, and he was afraid that Qin Shuang would encounter some danger. Turning his head and then looking at Qin Shuang in the moonlight, he saw Qin Shuang's indifferent face.
How can Qin Shuang be nervous?
In her previous life, she had experienced more terrifying circumstances than she had now, and her eyes looked in the direction of the village. Whispered:
"The screaming came from that direction. β
"Yes!" Yuan Ye nodded, admiring Qin Shuang even more in his heart.
"Let's take a look!"
"Good!"
Yuan Ye walked in the direction of the village, and the eyes of the three people looked at the houses on both sides. I walked about fifty meters or so. The three of them stopped and looked at a house. At this time, the door of the house was open, and the smell of blood wafted from inside.
The three of them glanced at each other, knowing that they had seen it door to house, and the doors of each house were closed. It was this door that Yuan Ye had knocked, and there was no sound in it at that time.
"Let's go!"
Qinshuang gave a low command.
"Stepping on ......"
The footsteps of the three people resounded in the night, echoing......
Stood in the doorway. The smell of blood came to my face, and the room was dark and I couldn't see clearly. Yuan Ye took out the fire fold. Then there was a faint fire, and the three men walked into the house. Sniffing the smell of blood, I made my way to the bedroom. The bedroom door is also open, and it has not yet entered the bedroom. Then he saw that there seemed to be a man lying on the bed. The strong smell of blood came from his body.
Yuan Ye did not rush to the bed immediately, but walked into the room vigilantly, searched everywhere, and after making sure that there was no one, he came to the bed, at this time Qin Shuang and Qin Yunxia also came to the bed, just glanced at the bed, Qin Yunxia turned her head.
"Vomit ......"
Qin Yunxia vomited there. Qin Shuang and Yuan Ye didn't even frown, but their faces were not good-looking. in front of them. A middle-aged man was lying on the bed, except that a large hole had been cut open in his chest, and the heart inside was missing.
There were no signs of a fight, and it appears that the man's heart was gouged out while he was asleep. Yuan Ye and Qin Shuang glanced at each other, and then pulled Qin Yunxia, who was still vomiting there, and retreated.
"Miss, what's going on?" Yuan Ye asked in a low voice.
Qin Shuang's eyes looked back and forth on the door, his brows furrowed slightly, and he whispered:
"The door opened from the inside. β
Yuan Ye's heart moved, and he also looked at the door carefully, and then his face showed surprise.
"How is this possible?"
The gate was bolted from the inside, and there was only one person inside, and the heart had been gouged out in his sleep. You can't say that the middle-aged man sleepwalked by himself, opened the door, and then lay back in bed and gouged out his own heart, right?
All right!
Even if it were, where did his heart go?
Heart?
Qin Shuang and Yuan Ye immediately lowered their heads to look around for bloodstains, but they didn't find a trace of blood.
At this time, even Qin Shuang and Yuan Ye's hearts were filled with a trace of fear, and this unreasonable sign made them nervous. Not to mention the warriors Qin Shuang and Yuan Ye, who are now cultivating, even Qin Shuang had never encountered such a strange thing in his previous life.
"Miss......" Qin Yunxia hugged Qin Shuang's arm in fear.
Qin Shuang calmed down and said, "Let's go back first." β
The three of them returned to their ancestral hall again, but everyone's faces were not good-looking. Qin Yunxia even cringed and sat beside Qin Shuang. Qin Shuang patted Qin Yunxia lightly and said:
"Yunxia, don't be afraid!" Then he looked at Yuan Ye and said, "What do you think?"
Yuan Ye shook his head and said, "No, I really can't figure out how the murderer got in." I've seen that door, it's not just a bolt, it's hooked, and it can't be opened from the outside unless it's forced in. But this is not the case. β
Qin Shuang nodded, lost in thought. But he couldn't figure it out, looking at the outside of the ancestral hall, Qin Shuang said softly:
"There are clearly a lot of people in this village, but the doors are closed, even if someone screams just now, no one comes out, something must have happened in this village, and there should be more than one death like this, but many times, which makes them afraid to come out. β
Yuan Ye nodded and said, "It's likely that such things happen at night, so every house is closed at night." By dawn, they should come out. β
"Yes, we'll ask when the time comes!"
"Hmm!" Yuan Ye nodded and said, "Miss, you rest, I'll keep vigil." β
Qin Shuang didn't say a word, nodded slightly, and closed his eyes. Qin Yunxia on the side was still holding Qin Shuang's arm, but she still kept her eyes open and didn't dare to close it.
Yuan Ye picked up a piece of wood and placed it on the bonfire, making a "crackling" sound, and then placed the long sword across his knees, facing the door of the ancestral hall.
The sky is getting brighter......
It's just that there is still silence in the village, and Yuan Ye in the ancestral hall is still motionless like a statue. Qin Yunxia had already fallen asleep on Qin Shuang's shoulder, but her sleeping face showed a look of horror from time to time.
A touch of morning sun shone in from the gate of the ancestral hall, and it was as if the world suddenly became vivid.
