Standing in the center of the cross wooden bridge, Ye Xiaoxuan looked at the four stone houses on all sides of the fish pond, and there was an indescribable weirdness in his heart!

The location he is in now is the very center of these four houses, and it seems that the intersection of this wooden bridge has also been carefully measured!

And he has also seen that it is not because the door of the shadow is facing forward, it is a positive direction, standing at this intersection, the main entrance of these four houses, all with their backs to themselves!

In other words, these four houses do not open to the south at all, as people are used to, but use this point in the center of the fish pond as a benchmark and open the door with their backs!

But at the back of each house, there are two windows, just enough to observe the windows of the other three houses!

Why is this so? Why is this kind of back-and-forth pattern in the building, but it is also built as a tightly connected tool like this cross wooden bridge?

Ye Xiaoxuan raised his eyes and looked around, and the question in his heart was even deeper! This place has reached the rear of the farm, and the traffic is extremely inconvenient, if it weren't for the shadow to lead the way, he wouldn't have found that there were still four families living here!

Why did the Beast King live in such a remote place? With their status, even if they wanted a decent house in the city, it would not be a problem at all, how could they come here to live in seclusion?

I believe that the shadow doesn't know the answers to these questions, so Ye Xiaoxuan didn't ask them, just followed behind the shadow, stepped on the squeaky plank and walked forward, really worried that one of them would break because of disrepair and let him fall into the water, it would be embarrassing!

It had just snowed last night, and the water hadn't frozen yet. Ye Xiaoxuan glanced down inadvertently, but found that a large black shadow was swimming under his feet, and thought it was a reflection, but when he looked at the sky, there was not even a dark cloud, so what was the black shadow just now?

Seeing Ye Xiaoxuan stop, the shadow asked him strangely: "Brother, what's wrong, hurry up, don't stop on the bridge for too long!"

Ye Xiaoxuan frowned, stared at the pond water under her feet that had not yet frozen, and asked her, "Why? Shadow, what kind of fish are raised here?"

Xiao Yingzi shook his head and said, "I don't know! Originally, there were a lot of crucian carp and grass carp here, and we had fish to eat every night." But five years ago, overnight, after a heavy rain, all the fish were gone!"

Ye Xiaoxuan's eyes widened, looked at Xiao Yingzi and said, "Did you run away?"

Xiao Yingzi shook his head and said: "That time the water was indeed relatively large, and a lot of fish were washed away, but there will not be a single one left! Later, any fish raised in this fish pond will disappear inexplicably, and even the free-range ducks and geese will be lost inexplicably! Uncle said that there are water ghosts in this fish pond!"

Ye Xiaoxuan's eyes narrowed, and his body was involuntarily pulled forward by Xiao Yingzi, but his eyes kept staring at the water under his feet, but he never saw the black thing again!

The water ghost is estimated to be impossible! But what exactly appeared just now, Ye Xiaoxuan can't see it! It would be nice if the fish were there, she was a little dragon in the water!

Isn't it strange that there are four strange stone houses and a square fishpond, even if there are water ghosts in it, the four families still guard the fishpond for five years and refuse to leave?

Having arrived at the back of the stone house at the foot of the stone pile, Xiao Ying called softly: "Grandma Gu, are you at home?"

As soon as the words fell, a black shadow suddenly rushed over from the corner of the house next to him, Ye Xiaoxuan was suddenly alert, and immediately pulled Xiao Ying down behind him: "Be careful!"

A gust of fishy wind blew on his face, Ye Xiaoxuan felt that his shoulders were caught by two pairs of big furry claws, and two sharp big teeth appeared in front of him, like two steel thorns, covering his head!

Ye Xiaoxuan was startled and hurriedly stepped back, but as soon as his waist tightened, he was tightly wrapped around a wrist-thick tail!

Ye Xiaoxuan was frightened, what kind of thing is this? Why is the attacking type so domineering? Just thinking about using his divine skills, he heard Xiao Ying shouting behind him: "Little Ash, don't mess around!"

The big guy seemed to know that he had caught the wrong person, so he pushed Ye Xiaoxuan away at once, and his two paws fell to the ground, and Ye Xiaoxuan saw its full appearance clearly!

It seemed to be something like a wild boar, but it was bigger and stronger than a wild boar, it had no fangs of a wild boar, and its tail was ridiculously long, longer than its body, and it lay there like a calf, gray all over, but its eyes were not large, and there were several long whiskers around its mouth.

Ye Xiaoxuan looked at Xiao Ying in horror as he had run to the side of this thing, his little hand stroked the silky hair on its back, and said to it affectionately: "Little Ash, you have grown up again!"

That thing actually arched Xiao Shadow's small waist with its pointed mouth, and the little tail also stretched out under the shadow's armpit, as if it was tickling her, making her giggle!

"It's... What the hell is this?!" Ye Xiaoxuan looked at the pig in front of him in surprise and said that the pig was not a pig, and the cow was not like a cow, and he felt very surprised.

Xiao Yingzi smiled and said, "You can't even see Xiao Ash, it's a vole!"

"Poof!" Ye Xiaoxuan almost didn't spit out his lungs, and looked at the big guy in front of him with wide eyes.

This thing bigger than a dog and fatter than a pig is a mouse? Even a rat can't grow this big, right? What does it eat, and what does it eat?

Ye Xiaoxuan looked at the big mouse in front of him in shock, and said to Xiao Yingzi: "Is this really a mouse? How many long live does this have to be? I guess I have a fight with Xiao Lu, and even a product of the same era as its mother!"

Xiao Yingzi shook his head and said, "Xiao Ash is not yet a year old this year! I only saw it for the first time during the Chinese New Year last year, and I was locked in a cage by Grandma Gu. In less than ten days, the cage could no longer hold it, and it was chained to a stone! In another month, it was bigger than a stone, and it was no longer on a leash, and when I left, it was like a little fat pig, and now it has grown again!"

Ye Xiaoxuan frowned slightly, if it was growing so rapidly, it would be certain that the genes had mutated.

There are many conditions that lead to genetic mutations, such as chemical radiation, drug promotion, etc., no matter which one it is, it is a terrifying thing to have such a huge growth in mice!

Shadow knows the language of beasts and can communicate with animals most directly, so no animal will attack her.

But no one else has that ability! The rat is timid, but it is also an aggressive animal. And because the size increases, the desire for things also expands. This thing is like a pig, it eats everything, and it grows so big that it can eat people!

Ye Xiaoxuan whispered to Xiao Yingzi: "Shadow, is this thing raised by your ancient grandmother?"

Xiao Yingzi nodded and said, "Yes, Grandma Gu knew the difference when she first saw Xiao Gray! That's why..."

Before she could finish speaking, a person stood out in the shadow of the corner and said to Xiao Shadow, "Shadow, are you back?"

Xiao Yingzi turned around, ran to Grandma Gu's side, covered her hand and said, "Grandma Gu, I'm coming back to see you!"

Grandma Gu didn't smile, touched her hair, looked at Ye Xiaoxuan with her eyes, and said lightly, "Who is he?"

I don't know why, Ye Xiaoxuan felt uncomfortable from the first time she saw this old woman!

The wrinkles on this ancient grandmother's face are like the peel of an air-dried orange, and she can't tell her actual age, and some people believe it when she says she is sixty, eighty or even a hundred years old!

Her eyes looked very chaotic, as if she couldn't see anyone standing in front of her, but when she saw Ye Xiaoxuan for the first time, it seemed that a light shot out, and Ye Xiaoxuan didn't know if it was her own illusion.

The figure is thin, with a slumped back, a black cotton shirt and cotton pants, a black landlord's hat on his head, and a pair of black cotton shoes with small feet under his feet.

She still had a crested cane taller than her in her hand, standing in the shadow of the corner, if it weren't for the stark contrast with the snow on the ground, it was estimated that she might not be recognized for a day when she stood there, and thought it was a half-dead tree!

The first feeling that this person gave Ye Xiaoxuan was very gloomy, an indescribable sense of disgust, and there was a slight smell on his body!

This kind of stench is terrible, as if this person has been dead for a long time and is highly corrupt! Ye Xiaoxuan has a creepy sense of fear when he looks at her, even if he doesn't look at her, being stared at by her seems to be burned by fire!

"Grandma Gu, he is my brother Ye Xiaoxuan!" Xiao Yingzi pointed at Ye Xiaoxuan and said to Grandma Gu, and then whispered to Ye Xiaoxuan: "Brother, call Grandma Gu!"

Ye Xiaoxuan couldn't open his mouth at all, he seemed to have an instinctive disgust for this old woman in his heart, and all he breathed between his noses was the rancid smell of dead corpses, and he was called grandma, he was afraid that he would vomit out when he opened his mouth!

Grandma Gu snorted coldly, as if she was angry at Ye Xiaoxuan's impoliteness, she slammed her crested cane to the ground, turned around and stopped looking at him, and said to Xiao Yingzi: "Come in, grandma will bring you mountain hazelnuts to eat!"

Xiao Yingzi obediently helped Grandma Gu and said, "Okay, Grandma, be careful!" and turned his head to Ye Xiaoxuan to make a follow-up look.

Ye Xiaoxuan was reluctant to go over in his heart, and he had to obediently follow behind Xiao Yingzi, because he always felt that this old woman was very weird!

Turning to the front of the stone house, Ye Xiaoxuan realized that there was still some distance from the big stone pile, about ten steps away.

Facing the doorway is a small plastic greenhouse fenced with a wooden fence, covered with large boulders, and vegetables are grown inside.

Through the plastic film, Ye Xiaoxuan saw that there seemed to be a round manhole cover inside, which should be used for irrigation of this small vegetable shed.

"Brother, come in!" Xiao Yingzi saw him standing at the door in a daze, and greeted him.

Ye Xiaoxuan turned around and walked into the stone house, and his eyes suddenly darkened. Fortunately, with red pupils, Ye Xiaoxuan adapted to almost no transition from the strong light outside to the darkness inside, looking at the surrounding environment, he felt like his scalp was exploding!

As soon as you enter the door, there is a table of eight immortals, on which is a huge pig's head! It seems to be a wild boar's head, and there are two sensen's fangs on the side of its mouth!

The strange thing is that others use the pig's head as a tribute, but here it depends on the pig's head to enjoy the tribute! That is to say, these melons and fruits on the table seem to be for the pig's head to eat!

In fact, strictly speaking, this thing is not a pig's head, although it is made of a pig's head as the base, but the fangs are installed later, and there are many traces of artificial stitching and modification on the pig's face, making it look more vicious and more vivid, just like a living creature!
