"Stinky boy, who are you getting? Being an old lady is scared! ”

The proprietress once again put on a fierce look, "If you dare to talk nonsense again, I will kick you all out!" ”

Don't...... Which of my words was wrong and aroused the suspicion of the boss's wife?

Or is it that the mystery behind the 'goddess' is more important than the life of the proprietress, so she keeps it secret.

If you want to find the truth, it seems that you have to go to the streets.

The strange thing is that as soon as I walked out on the street, the original pedestrians scattered. I wanted to go to the open store and ask for a few words, but I didn't want the door to slam shut.

But everywhere I went, the crowds were scattered, and the houses were closed.

It's a strange thing, I'm not a ghost, what are these people afraid of me doing?

Even if this group of people avoid me like a femme fatale, someone will definitely tell me the truth!

Last night, Guo Fang committed suicide, and when he entered the Heishui River, he also took an old man with him.

If I had predicted, the old man's body would be found in the town, and his family would tell me the truth.

……

Following the faint yin aura of the air, I followed the direction of the upper reaches of the Heishui River. After walking more than two miles, he stopped in front of a dilapidated adobe thatched house.

The yin qi and the rotten aura peculiar to corpses came from this room.

I knocked on the door, but the window next to it opened.

Through the papier-mâché lattice, I vaguely saw a little boy of fourteen or fifteen years old, poking his head in the direction of the door.

I asked, "Kid, is there anyone else in the family besides you?" ”

At my voice, the boy shrank his head back.

In such a place where the yin qi is extremely heavy, the corpse is very easy to transform, and if the boy locks himself inside, he will be in trouble.

The room was a dilapidated wooden door, and I kicked it open, and the boy hiding in the bedroom looked at me with a frightened look, "You...... What do you want!? ”

"Don't be afraid, I won't hurt you."

I looked around the room, which was more dilapidated than the adobe walls outside.

On the old-fashioned handmade wooden bed, the mattress is slimy and black, and there is a small stove next to the bed, and there are firewood piled up on one side, drilled full of rats and fleas.

I asked, "Who else is there in the family besides you?" ”

"And my grandfather, who lives in the East House." The boy said with a wince.

Judging from the appearance, the boy is fifteen years old, but he is born with yellow face and thin muscles, and he is only ten years old.

I said in a deep voice, "Take me over and see, your grandfather is probably dead." ”

The boy's face turned sallow, and he hurriedly ran to the east bedroom with his larger-sized shoes in his hands.

The situation in the East House is much better, but it is also full of wine bottles and garbage. Through the thick yellowed mosquito net, a figure can be faintly seen.

"Grandpa!"

The boy tore open the mosquito net in a panic, and when he saw the person lying inside, he screamed in fright, stumbled back two steps, and would have fallen to the ground if it had not been for my support.

I looked closer to the person lying on the bed and gasped.

The old man was bloated, his body was stiff and straight, his wrinkled hands kept his posture of grasping upward, his expression was hideous and twisted, and his dilated pupils seemed to have endured great pain.

After a few seconds of stunnedness, the boy cried, "Grandpa! ”

I pressed the boy's shoulder and said solemnly, "Your grandfather's death is related to the rumored 'goddess' in the town, if you want to know the real cause of his death, tell me everything you know!" ”

The boy pursed his lips as if to say something.

But I didn't think that as soon as I let go of the boy's shoulder, he ran out, shouting as he ran, "Uncle, auntie, my father is dead!" ”

……

The boy shouted, but all the people in the town looked in our direction in horror, and none of them were willing to help.

Perhaps because of the excessive panic and the vigorous running, the boy's already weak body could not bear it at all, and he leaned against the wall and began to retch.

I stepped forward, patted the boy on the back, and comforted, "I'll help with your grandfather's business." ”

The boy's heart-rending cry attracted onlookers from all over the town, but everyone was ten meters away and looked in our direction vigilantly.

"Auntie, aunt, second uncle, you go and help, this dog day, my grandfather is about to rot!"

In this kind of weather, the corpse will decay and flow in less than two days.

Even so, the townspeople watched indifferently with a vigilant attitude.

There are unbearable people who are secretly wiping their tears, but they are unwilling to help.

Maybe they are not ruthless, but afraid, as for what they are afraid of, I don't know......

After crying, the boy had no choice but to return to the room alone, wrapped the old man in a straw mat on the bed with his eyes closed, and dragged him out of bed with great difficulty.

On his own, he couldn't drag the bloated corpse at all.

I dragged the mat behind me, and the boy tugged at the corner of the mat in front of him, and went out with great difficulty, heading out into the north-west wasteland.

The boy pointed to a field of corn overgrown with weeds and cried, "This is our family's land." You wait, I'll go back and get the hoe. ”

I thought that I was tall and big, and it would be easier for me to dig up the ground than for a little boy.

I went down in twos and threes, but I didn't dig much of a hole, and the hoe was cracked.

The boy took the hoe from my hand and shaved it silently, sweat rolling down his forehead, and his little face looked a little numb due to the mood swings.

I spoke again, "Your grandfather was killed by the goddess. If you don't want him to die in vain, tell me about the goddess! ”

The boy shook his head in horror, "I...... I do not know. ”

Since the boy didn't say it, I couldn't aggressively ask a dearest child who had just died.

When the boy was so tired that he threw down his hoe and sat on the ridge of the field panting, I helped him dig up the rest of the part, threw the body in, and filled it with a sigh.

I don't know what I'm thinking.

After filling in the soil, I took out the only five hundred dollars left from my pocket and stuffed it into the boy, "Remember, after you take the money, you must not say a word today to survive." ”

The boy's life palace was flushed, and there were faint red spots on the wings of his nose and the corners of his mouth, which was enough to see the trouble coming out of his mouth.

If you want to resolve it, you can just keep silent today.

After the instructions, I turned around and was about to leave.

The boy seemed to have mustered up his courage and shouted to me, "Wait a minute, I know something about the goddess!" She is the living deity that we Lu Heming worshipped......"

I was shocked and hurried to stop it, but it was too late!

Bang –

After an explosion not far away, there were seven or eight more bloody cuts on the boy's chest, and he didn't even have time to scream, he clutched the hole in his stomach in panic and fell down slowly.

"Who is it!?"

I shouted angrily, and there was a rustling sound in the forest in the distance, and a burly man with a black cloth covering his face was aiming in my direction with a black hole in his fire.

Under normal circumstances, the Yin Qi in my body is endless, but within the Reverse Five Elements Formation, this energy cannot be replenished!

Thunder and fire can dispel yin and ward off evil spirits, and the damage of the fire gun to me is also great!

If I were to be shot head-on, my body would collapse and I would be left with an unshielded soul, and it would be even more difficult to walk in such a dangerous situation.

Cold sweat rolled down my forehead, I counted the heavens and the earth, but I didn't expect to capsize in the gutter of the "human".

The masked man posed and aimed in my direction.

The firebolt was filled with stray bullets, usually used to shoot birds, and the area attacks gave me nowhere to hide.

Damn, careless!

At this moment, the ground shook suddenly, the miasma of fog surged out of the cracks in the stones, and the sky and the earth changed color and darkness like the end of the world!

A hole suddenly opened in the ground where the boy's body was.

A pale and slender soft wattle suddenly stretched out from the ground, grabbed the boy's heavenly spirit cover, and wanted to drag it down!

Is this the "goddess" that the townspeople fear?

At the moment when that hand was about to drag the boy's soul down, I clasped his wrist tightly, "I don't care what kind of grudge you have with the townspeople, but the child is innocent! ”

"If you want revenge, it's not like this!"

The moment my arm touched mine, smoke billowed from that arm, and the boy's soul was still sucked into the ground with the terrible screams of the underground woman.

The ground shook again, and the woman's palm disappeared along the crack in the ground.

At the same time, there was a thud of fire, and the muzzle of the gun shifted a few inches as the ground quivered, and a large chunk of bark broke off the large tree beside me.

I stared coldly at the man who was not far from me, waiting for him to shoot again.

But he just glanced at me, turned and walked away.

Don't...... This guy is out of bullets?

No, he still aimed the muzzle of the black hole at me after a shot, but finally gave up the attack.

The biggest possibility is that he saw me fight off the 'goddess' and felt that I was still useful, so he gave up the killer.

But Lu Heming and Qin Yin's abilities have been lost, and they don't have my ability!

Since the people in the town started to do something to me, they would also harm Lu Heming and Qin Yin, in order to ensure their safety, I hurried in the direction of the hotel......

On the way, the fog miasma is thicker, the visibility is less than three meters, and the feet are full of thorns and rocks, and if you are not careful, you will step on the air and fall into the slope dam.

Just as I was paying attention to my feet and walking forward, a figure appeared in front of Leng Buding, which startled me a lot!

It's Guo Fang!

Guo Fang was still wearing the red and green shroud, standing not far in front of me, grinning at me.

I quickly calmed down and asked in a condensed voice, "What is your purpose in trapping us here?" ”

Whoa—

At Guo Fang's neck, there was the sound of iron chains. He was dragged by an invisible force and slowly retreated.

"Wait!"

I wanted to catch up, but in an instant, Guo Fang's figure had disappeared.

In Guo Fang's position, there was a simple and yellowed scroll.

My scroll is very long, I only opened a part of it, and I saw that the beginning was written in gilt font - Picture of the Goddess!
