Chapter 54: Strange Things in the Mountain Village.
Yuan Yue coughed dryly, stepped forward and said, "Little girl, don't be afraid, we are not bad people, we just want to spend the night for the night, and we have no other meaning." ”
"When we leave, we will leave some silver taels as a token of gratitude. ”
The baby-faced girl was awakened from shock by Yuan Yue's words, and hurriedly blushed and stepped out of the way and said, "Those few people should come in first." ”
Shen Yu thanked them again and again, and walked into the house one after another.
The whole house is about 100 square meters in area, there is no courtyard, but it is divided into several bedrooms, and the overall layout resembles a modern multi-bedroom and a living room.
On the wooden table in the hall, a candle was lit, and although the light was unknown, it was enough to see.
As far as the eye could see, it was full of dilapidated and shabby, and the only thing to praise was that the whole house, even the corners of the walls, was very clean.
The baby-faced girl moved chairs for a few people to sit down, and just as she was about to pour water for a few people, Shen Yu hurriedly stopped: "The girl doesn't need to bother, she can arrange a place for us to live casually." ”
The baby-faced girl didn't dare to make eye contact with Shen Yu at all, and muttered, "There is an extra room, but there is no extra bedding!"
Shen Yu said indifferently: "It's okay, it's enough to have a place for us to sleep well." ”
Speaking of this, Shen Yu suddenly thought of something, hurriedly pointed to the smile next to him, and said, "It doesn't matter what happens to the three of us, but please make it convenient for the girl to let my sister sleep with the girl, okay?"
The baby-faced girl nodded lightly and said softly, "Okay, then let me come." ”
After that, she was about to lead a few people to a bedroom next to her, and Yuan Yue suddenly said, "Little girl, slow down." ”
The baby-faced girl turned her head and looked at Genyue with a little confusion.
I only heard Yuan Yue say slowly: "Poor Dao shouldn't be troublesome, but I really can't help but be curious, and I ask the little girl to teach me." ”
The baby-faced girl bowed her head slightly: "This Taoist leader, please speak." ”
Yuan Yue's expression was straight, and he said in a deep voice: "Since we entered the village, we found that all the lights and candles here were extinguished early, and no matter how we knocked on the door, we never got any response. ”
"And the most strange thing for Poor Dao is that there is no sound of dogs barking in the whole village, which is indeed too abnormal, is it possible that there is no dog in your whole village?"
After asking, Yuan Yue stared at the baby-faced girl with burning eyes.
Shen Yu and the three of them also set their eyes on her face almost at the same time.
When the baby-faced girl heard this, her delicate body trembled, and her face turned pale in an instant.
Seeing this, Shen Yu hurriedly said: "Girl, don't think about it, we are just a little curious, and there is no malicious intent, if the girl really has something unspeakable, then it is better to assume that this Taoist leader has not asked." ”
The baby-faced girl took a deep breath and lowered her voice: "Although the little girl has no knowledge, she can also intuitively conclude that a few people are by no means idle. ”
In that case, let the little woman talk about it briefly. ”
"Our village belongs to the jurisdiction of Lu'an County in Qingzhou Province, called Xiaozhaigou, although it is only more than 100 miles away from the county seat, it is not particularly far. ”
"But because these more than 100 miles of land are mountain roads, you need to cross mountains and mountains to reach them, so the villagers in our village basically have little contact with the county seat. ”
"In this way, although the life of our villagers is a little harder, but it is more comfortable, the villagers are very satisfied, it can be regarded as not leaving the road behind, not closing the house at night, everyone helps each other, farming and eating by themselves, and there is not much trouble. ”
Speaking of this, her tone suddenly changed, her tone became rapid in an instant, and she said in a trembling voice: "But just over three months ago, a strange incident suddenly happened in our village, and since then the whole village has become no longer peaceful!"
Shen Yu and the others couldn't help but feel a pang in their hearts, and almost subconsciously asked in unison, "What's the strange thing?"
The baby-faced girl couldn't help but look around, as if she was worried that some monster would suddenly appear, Shen Yu saw the fear in her heart, and went directly to her side without thinking about it, and said softly: "Don't be afraid, girl, there are so many of us." ”
The baby-faced girl was indeed afraid, but when she heard Shen Yu's gentle and jade-like voice, a touch of fear in her heart was completely replaced by a touch of shyness in an instant, and she couldn't help but sigh softly.
Seeing that Shen Yu and the delicate body of the baby-faced girl were almost next to each other, he couldn't help frowning, and said in a tone full of vinegar: "Men and women don't kiss, Brother Yu should still be self-respecting, don't displease this sister." ”
Shen Yu's face was full of embarrassment, and he quickly got out of the way, the sky was above, he really didn't have any dirty thoughts, he really just comforted the girl.
The baby-faced girl's face turned red, and she hurriedly continued: "More than three months ago, in our village, there were always a few chickens missing in this house and a few ducks in that house in the dead of night. ”
"At first, everyone thought it was strange, but they didn't think much of it, and no one thought to investigate anything at all. ”
"But who would have thought that since then, a few domestic animals have been lost in the village almost every night, and sometimes even the wolf dogs have begun to disappear one by one. ”
At this point, the baby-faced girl began to be terrified again.
Yuan Yue and several people couldn't help but look at each other, and Xiaoxiao even subconsciously grabbed Shen Yu's arm next to her, what kind of men and women don't kiss, she seemed to forget all of a sudden.
I only heard the baby-faced girl's trembling voice, and continued: "It was only at this time that the whole village realized the seriousness of the matter. ”
"First of all, we asked more than 60 men in the village, including my father, to form a patrol team with all kinds of blades and go to the nearby mountains to inspect. ”
"Because it is true that wolves are often plagued by the nearby mountains, but the wolves have never come down the mountain or entered our village. ”
"No one can understand why the wolves suddenly came down the mountain to cause trouble, and they can silently take away the livestock raised by the villagers, but if the wolves didn't do it, everyone really can't think of any other possibility. ”
In this way, whether you believe it or not, you can only agree that this thing must have been done by the wolves. ”
Speaking of this, her eyes turned red, and she sobbed softly: "As a result, my father and they went for three whole days, and there was no news from them, and they never came back!"
Yuan Yue's eyes froze, and he said in a deep voice: "Don't be sad, little girl, and continue to speak, Poor Dao always feels that this matter is a little strange." ”
Xiaoxiao also approached the baby-faced girl and patted her on the back gently, while comforting: "Yes, don't be sad about this sister, maybe Ling Zun and them didn't have any accidents, but because of some other special reasons, they can't come back for the time being." ”
When the baby-faced girl heard this, she became even more grieved and cried bitterly, "Woo...... It's impossible, the old village chief said, my father and they will never come back, because this matter has nothing to do with the wolves at all, it's just a demonic thing......"
