Chapter Seventy-Five: The Bell Strikes

Shu Shu threw the small potatoes into the kitchen and went to Shu Wei's room, the light in the room was dim, and Sister Liu had already added oil lamps to each room, but Shu Wei didn't light them.

"Sister, let's go, it's time to eat......"

Shu Wei stared at her with doubts in her eyes and asked, "How did you solve today's matter?" Don't tell me that you used spiritual power. ”

"Don't worry, I won't use spiritual power, I know that using spiritual power in the world is looking for death. I've only advanced my salary for a few months, and I'll pay it back slowly. ”

Hearing her say this, Shu Wei's eyes eased a lot, and things like salary advances were still acceptable. As long as she's not in any danger......

It was getting dark, and the family in the kitchen was eating delicious food in the house......

As the night slowly fell, the men in black dresses poured into the town from the forest.

The town looks small, but it has a simple enchantment...... The bell rang when unknown people broke in.

Mrs. Chu, who was sleeping, got up suddenly, and all the goosebumps on her body stood up when she heard the bells ringing through the town. After a while of noise in the Chu courtyard, it was quiet again.

Everyone in the town knew very well that as long as such a bell suddenly rang, at least a few hundred unknown people would break in at the same time.

Everyone will get up and hide in their own cellar as soon as possible.

After the continuous ringing of the bells, the whole town fell silent. The only thing left for the quiet night was the chirping of insects mixed with the rustle of leaves in the wind.

A man dressed in black stood on the roof in a black cloak, his clothes fluttering in the air in the breeze.

"Lord Qiyu, we just touched this town's enchantment, and these humans are hiding. If you want to kill them, now is the best time, are you going to kill them all?"

The voice of the man in black sounded without the slightest warmth.

The man in black looked at the mutilated moon in the sky and said, "You can't do this on earth...... It's too ostentatious. In the past few days, all of you have transformed into humans to investigate secretly, and you must find out the nine-tailed fox for me, understand?"

"Yes!"

All the men in black disappeared into the night in an instant.

The four Shu Shu sisters hugged each other and followed Sister Liu and her two children in the cellar, they held each other motionless.

Several people were crammed into a small cellar of four or five square meters, and the air seemed to be solidified, so Shu Wei couldn't help but ask:

"There's no movement outside now, can we get out?"

Sister Liu trembled and said, "No, the alarm has just passed, and I haven't heard the mayor lift the alarm yet." That means there is danger, and we'd better stay here for our safety. ”

Shu Shu's brows furrowed tightly, they were all about to go to bed just now when they were suddenly awakened by the sound of a huge bell. Later, I saw Sister Liu holding the two children and dragging them to the firewood room in the backyard. When they lifted the firewood, they saw a wooden plank, and they were all dragged and hidden.

"Sister Liu, I think we can go out now. If something happens, it's going to be a mess...... But you see, it's quiet now, I guess suddenly a lot of people are passing by. ”

Sister Liu's expression looked serious, her brows furrowed and she looked at the child in her arms and said, "No, none of us can go out without hearing the bell of the town mayor's lifting of the alarm." ”

She didn't look like a joke. Although it was a little uncomfortable to stay like this, none of them continued to say anything.

Chu Lantian and Mrs. Chu, who were quietly staying in the cellar, were much more comfortable.

The dark room of the Chu family is very chic, and someone will come in to clean it after a while. There will also be some simple food inside.

"Mother, it's quiet outside now, should we find someone to go out and have a look? ”

Mrs. Chu's brows twisted into a pimple, and she said with a worried face: "Listen to me, you will stay here for me for the past few days no matter what." It's been almost a few years since anyone in our town touched this barrier. I'm afraid it's not a good person this time. ”

"But mother...... Are you overly concerned? Probably someone is passing by out of the blue. You see, there's no movement outside at all. ”

Chu Lantian's expression was a little worried, he remembered that Shu Shu and her sister were inexplicably worried, she was not from the town, and she didn't know if she had also hid in the cellar.

"The more there is no movement, the more terrible it is...... Don't even think about going out and saving that little girl. Wasn't the owner of the yard there? They must be fine. You'd better stay here now. ”

After speaking, Mrs. Chu opened the door and walked out with two maids. The guards in the Chu courtyard stood in the courtyard, with a hint of horror in their calm expressions.

They are guards to defend the Chu Courtyard, so even if the bell rings, they will stand here without moving.

One of the guards' legs was shaking uncontrollably.

"You're doing a great job. Now come with me to patrol the whole town as a deserter, I think you know the consequences...... Let's go. ”

She was followed by dozens of guards. She also had two masters by her side, but even then she was still scared.

She didn't know what these things were that suddenly broke in, but one thing she knew knew was that they weren't people.

No one broke through the barrier at once...... Unless......

She didn't dare to think further...... This town was originally called Lingxi Town. But more than a hundred years ago, the town was slaughtered overnight. Almost all human beings do not survive. Only a handful of elves and youkai disguised in the town escaped the catastrophe.

The humans who came back later all moved from other villages in Qingqiu one after another because they wanted to covet spiritual power. After all, the soil here is fertile, the water is sweet and beautiful. But it seems that from that day on, people talked about this town and never mentioned the name Lingxi Town again. Over time, fewer and fewer people know.

Mrs. Chu was holding the Seven Star Grass in her hand, and beads of sweat were on her forehead. At that time, when she saw the big events in the town, she saw that when she saw this incident, her back was cold.

Now that I think about it again, her legs are all weak.

But she is the mayor of this Lingxi Town, and she can't back down even if she is in danger. Protecting the people here has always been her goal.

"Y'all give me a little smart......"

They walked along the streets around the town with a unified pace, and they kept walking with fear in their hearts and calm on the surface. They circled the town three times. Until the eastern sky appears white. Everyone breathed a sigh of relief......

The one-night tour seemed to exhaust the courage they had accumulated over the years. Everyone didn't know if it was because they were tired or scared, and after the inspection, they all sat on the ground and gasped for air.

One of them said weakly:

"Mayor Mare, is it time to ring the alarm bell?"
