Ziyi pushed the silver pupil who was already asleep with his neck crooked, adjusted his comfortable position, and continued to ask.

"If there's anything strange, it's that a lot of livestock in the village have died."

Ziyi noticed that when the old man said this, the cloudy eyes hidden under the folded skin were once again wrapped in fear.

"Oh? How did these animals die? ”

"This—" The old man hesitated a little, he looked up at the purple clothes, then at the silver pupils, pursed his dry lips, and did not continue.

"Heh—if you have something to hide from us, then I don't think we have to go. It was because of your son's greed, and now you won't give us all the answers! I don't think it's better to let the coachman turn the carriage back, and we don't have to take that risk. ”

Ziyi was a little angry, and his tone became cold.

This old man, since he came to beg them, he should trust them, not only is he suspicious of her, but now he has something to hide! This kind of business, don't do it!

Thinking in his heart, Ziyi really got up and wanted to lift the curtain and let the coachman drive the carriage back.

"Girl, I say, I say!" The old man saw that Ziyi was moving, and hurriedly stretched out his hand to stop it.

Now, he really didn't know who to turn to for help.

Ziyi sat back in his seat impatiently, waiting for the old man's next step.

"Those domestic animals are also really dead, the people in the village are relatively closed, and they know that they are embarrassed to talk about stealing other people's tombs, so they also keep silent about this matter, if it weren't for my son's behavior becoming more and more weird, I wouldn't want to come out to find a solution." The old man paused, then continued: "Almost every night, a family in the village will die of a cow or a pig, but they don't know how these animals died, and there are no wounds on their bodies! At first, the villagers suspected that the beasts from the mountains had come down to the village, but gradually, everyone felt that something was wrong, but no one dared to say anything. There weren't many people in the village, and after something happened, some people moved out one after another. ”

"No wounds?" Ziyi seemed to be asking the old man rhetorically, and seemed to be talking to himself.

"Well—not the slightest wound, just dead! Some people wonder if it will be a plague, but it is very strange that only one person dies every day, and it stands to reason that the plague should not be so regular. ”

"I'm afraid that the things on the mountain have already come down the mountain, and the death of some livestock is already considered to be his conscience." The silver pupil, who had been closing her eyes and not speaking, suddenly spoke.

"This—"

The old man didn't speak again, Ziyi simply closed his eyes, and the carriage suddenly fell silent.

It was almost evening, when the carriage drove into the village, and perhaps the villagers had detected some wind, and at this time they were all gathered around the entrance of the village, looking here.

Ziyi and Yintong got out of the car and looked at the villagers in the distance.

The afterglow of the setting sun sprinkled on this small village, gilding the humble houses in the distance with a layer of golden red, if it were not for the gray mist above the village, the village would be surrounded by mountains and rivers, and it would seem to be extraordinarily quiet and peaceful.

Ziyi didn't speak, just motioned to the old man to lead the way.

The old man looked at the villagers looking in the distance, sighed faintly, lowered his head and walked towards his home with a few people in purple clothes.

The old man's house is in the middle of the village, and it doesn't look too dilapidated, the house seems to have just been renovated, and it looks quite new.

I guess it was the money I got in exchange for those jade objects.

Ziyi secretly guessed in his heart.

The old man's son lived next to the old man's house, and the house looked more beautiful than the old man's house, but at this time the house was wrapped in a large cloud of mist, and it was a little unrealistic.

"My son shut himself up in this room." The old man looked at the food outside the door that had not been touched at all, and sighed faintly: "In the past few days, he has not even eaten food. ”

"Shall I go in and have a look?" Ziyi pulled the corner of Yintong's clothes, she had no experience in this kind of thing.

"Don't worry, let's stay in this village first and see what is going on with this livestock." Silver Pupil looked at the room and frowned slightly, this gray air always gave him the feeling of acquaintance.

I secretly prayed in my heart, I hope it wasn't that person.

Ziyi listened to Yintong's words and asked the old man to help arrange a place to live.

said that it was an arrangement, but in fact, he lived in this old man's house.

There was also a girl in the old man's room, and it was this girl who gave up her room, and she squeezed in with the old man and his wife for the night.

The sky was completely dark, and Ziyi sat on the bed [Harmony], dragging the quilt deadly, pointing at the silver pupils and shouting, "You go out to sleep!" ”

"Please, my aunt, I've followed you all the way to such a place, and I don't know if it's dangerous after that! Can't you just let me get a good night's sleep? ”

Yintong twitched the corner of his mouth, if it weren't for the fact that he had been so sleepy for the past few days, he wouldn't have rubbed the bed of the purple clothes with a dead face, you know, if this matter was known by that Duanmu Xun, I am afraid that he would not be able to eat and walk around.

"I don't care, the bed is mine, the house is mine, you go outside to sleep in the pigsty! Just enough to protect these little animals! The corners of Ziyi's mouth hooked up a wicked smile, his wrist flipped over, and a purple light thundered towards the silver pupils!

The silver pupil was startled, and hurriedly took out a folding fan to block it, and a good fan was burned black by this purple light!

"Auntie, can't I go out?" shrunk her neck, her silver eyes cried and mourned, the woman in front of her clearly wanted her life! "However, you have to at least give me the quilt, I sleep in a pigsty, if you catch a cold, there will be no one to help you."

Snorting, Silver Hitomi tried to pretend to be pitiful.

Ziyi looked at the quilt in her arms, and thought carefully about Yintong's words, at this time, it was just spring, and it was still very cold in this empty village at night, if this Yintong was really sick, I was afraid that she was not familiar with Yiqiē, and there was indeed a helper missing.

Thinking of this, Ziyi reluctantly handed over the quilt in her arms and said, "Okay, okay, this girl is kind enough to give you this quilt!" But you'd better get things done for me tonight, or else—hmph, we'll have to stay in this village!" ”

In the afternoon, the villagers at the entrance of the village had been following behind Ziyi and Yintong not far away, not saying anything, just watching from afar.

It was only at night that these people returned to their homes as quickly as if they were hiding from the plague god, and the door was closed.

According to Uncle Wang, since the livestock in the village began to die for no reason, the villagers kept their doors closed at night for fear of provoking some plague.

Although the villagers were far away, Ziyi could still feel the hostility in them.

Probably this backward village, few people come to it.

Purple comforted herself.

At night, Ziyi slept very unsteadily, and the wind outside the window was "whirring", which always felt weird and abnormal in my ears. Outside, apart from the sound of the wind, I couldn't even hear a dog barking.

Realizing that something was wrong, Ziyi groped out of bed, did not light the lamp, and tiptoed open the door.

The pigsty was in the courtyard outside the house, and there was a bright moon hanging in the air at this time, and by the moonlight, the purple clothes groped into the pigsty.

Sure enough, the silver pupil was not there, leaving only a quilt to cover the thatch outside the pigsty.

The purple-clothed probe touched the quilt, it was still a little warm, and it seemed that this silver pupil had just left.

Looking around, Ziyi put his little hand on the scimitar at his waist, keeping vigilant. The next room was still shrouded in gray mist, quiet, without a sound.

Ziyi found that in the distance, there seemed to be a dark shadow, but it was not real from a distance.

In this night, there are probably only some monsters, only silver pupils.

Without thinking much about it, the purple clothes walked lightly and chased after the black shadow.

It wasn't until he got closer that Ziyi realized that this black shadow was not a silver pupil!

When he was hesitating whether to continue to follow, the person in front of him suddenly turned around.

Ziyi only felt that his breath was restrained.

I saw the person in front of him, his black hair was scattered behind his head, his eyes were a little sad, and his delicate facial features were like God's ingenious treasures, and what really surprised Ziyi was that this person looked eight points similar to the silver pupils! It's just that the temperament is more feminine and feminine than the silver pupils.

The moonlight shone on this person's body, making him feel like he didn't eat the fireworks of the world.

"Hey—hey!" Ziyi stood in place a little embarrassed and beckoned to the person in front of him, but the person looked at Ziyi and actually smiled.

This smile almost made Ziyi fall into it.

She didn't know what words to use to describe how she felt at this moment!

Get carried away?

Or-

"You're so interesting, aren't you afraid to meet me?" The man's voice was very good, and he reached out to touch the mask on Ziyi's face, but Ziyi dodged him.

"I've seen everything, what's so scary." Although he said it, the little hand in purple clothes was pressed on his waist, just waiting to draw the scimitar at any time and fight with the person in front of him.

But to be honest, Ziyi was a little reluctant to fight with the man in front of him.

After all, this man is so beautiful, so beautiful that it seems that as long as she makes a move, it is a blasphemy against this man.

"Hehe, is it-" The man noticed the scimitar on the purple waist, and he was only slightly stunned, then put his hand down, and chuckled: "You don't have to be afraid of me, I don't have any malicious intent." ”

Just a simple sentence made Ziyi let down his guard like a little white rabbit.

She removed her hand from her waist: "Why are you here alone?" ”

"I'm looking for something." The man thought for a moment and replied.

"You can't be looking for jade, are you?" Ziyi's back suddenly felt a gust of cold wind, she looked at the man in front of her carefully, she didn't know if it was because of the moonlight, she suddenly felt that this man's skin was too pale.

And-

She couldn't even feel the man's breathing.

Could it be that the wind is a little strong?

"You know?"

The man raised his eyebrows slightly, the corners of his mouth still hooked.

From the girl in front of him, he smelled the smell of the old man.

"That-if I give you the jade, can you get out of here?" Ziyi hesitated for a moment and asked cautiously.

"What would you do if someone disturbed your dreams and snatched something from you?" The smile on the man's face became stronger, but behind this smile, Ziyi smelled danger.

Without a trace, he distanced himself from the man in front of him, and Ziyi only secretly scolded the bastard Yintong in his heart, and he didn't know where he ran away at this time!

"And what do you want to do?" Pursing her lips, Ziyi asked vigilantly.

"Hehe, it's nothing, it's just that I have to find my stuff first."

Ziyi was a little puzzled, that jade was obviously in the old man's son, and the room was so heavy with fog, it stands to reason that this terrifying guy in front of him should not be unaware.

Or is it that the fog in front of the house is not because of the person in front of him, but because someone deliberately used the fog to prevent him from finding this jade?

What is that piece of kodama, isn't it just a burial object in the mouth of a dead man?

Why does it seem like so many people want it?

"Do you know where things are?" Seeing that the purple clothes were in a daze, the man asked softly.

He didn't have any bad feelings about the woman in front of him, on the contrary, because this woman had the smell of the old man, he had a slight affection for her.

"This-I can return the jade to you, but you have to promise me not to hurt the people in this village-" Ziyi looked at the man in front of her, only to feel that her palms were sweating nervously, and at the end, she added weakly: "Is it okay?" ”

"Hehe-" The man laughed suddenly.

It's not the polite smile before, Ziyi can feel that this man is really smiling, laughing from the heart.

She scratched her head and stood there a little embarrassed, not knowing what the man was laughing at.

"Okay, I promise you."

Unexpectedly, after the man laughed, he readily agreed.

"However, I will only give you one day, and at this time tomorrow, I will wait for you here, if you can't bring the jade—" The man didn't continue, but just threw a meaningful smile at Ziyi.

"Okay." Ziyi gritted his teeth and responded stubbornly, just about to say something, but found that the man had disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Ziyi was a little surprised and ran to the position where the man was just standing, and looked around, the man really disappeared in front of her eyes!

After hesitating, Ziyi returned to the house the same way.

Before entering the house, Ziyi deliberately glanced in the direction of the pigsty, but the silver pupil still did not come back.

I don't know if it's because of some eyebrows, but when I returned to the house, Ziyi lay on the bed [Harmony] and fell asleep deeply, dreamless all night.
