Chen Zhi was puzzled, watched Chunhua'er leave, and got out himself. Returned to the leaf's house. After entering, seeing that the meal had been prepared, and a group of people were waiting for Chen Zhi to eat, Fat Wei took out his smartphone and tossed with the leaves. Qin Yueyang wiped her wounds with alcohol on the earthen kang, and after walking for several days on the mountain road, her feet were all broken.

Chen Zhi turned his head around, walked over, sat next to the leaf and asked tentatively. "Sister Yezi, I met the spring flowers outside again just now, I heard that your night fox sacrifice ceremony, the scene is quite big?

"Cut!" , Ye Zi sneered after hearing this, and said, "Did she tell you to take her out of the village quickly, she is going to be taken to sacrifice to the gods?" ”

"Hmm", Chen Zhi was stunned for a moment and nodded.

Ye Zi said helplessly, "These people are all superstitious and crazy. They actually thought from the bottom of their bones that the fox fairy on the mountain really existed. I think that the girl chosen by my great-grandmother will be sent to the fox hole to be a maid for the fox fairy, but in fact, my great-grandmother has only lived a little longer, how can there be such a god?

Chunhua'er's stupid girl, since she won the rune paper last year, has been panicking every day, saying that she is going to worship the gods, as long as a foreigner comes, she will beg someone to take her away. In fact, this memorial is held every year in our village, saying that it is to choose maids for the fox fairies on the mountain, which has been held from ancient times to this year, and it is just a traditional activity. The girl who won the rune paper just has the status of a priestess, and she is alive and well. The sacrifices to the fox fairy are all pigs' heads and live chickens and the like, so how can they sacrifice to living people? It's too frightening. ”

Hearing this, Chen Zhi suddenly interrupted Ye Zi and asked. "Have you ever seen a girl who was a priestess before? All alive? ”

After listening to Chen Zhi's question, Ye Zi seemed to feel very funny, and said: "Of course I have seen it, many of them have married to other villages, and I saw one a few days ago." Ye Zi said affirmatively.

"Then why don't you let people from other villages spend the night here?" , Chen Zhi stared at Ye Zi and continued to ask.

"Why didn't anyone from the other village spend the night here? My great-grandmother often came to my great-grandmother from outside, and she stayed in the village, but that required her consent. Ye Zi replied.

Ye Zi picked up Fat Wei's mobile phone, flicked it a few times with great interest, and said, "The fox sacrifice ceremony at night is our own activity in the village. We hate some people from other villages, who come here to take pictures and interviews, disturb us, and there are many liars, so we don't want to associate with outsiders. ”

"Oh", Chen Zhi observed Ye Zi's face and didn't speak again.

The game in the mountains is very sweet, and the leaves are well crafted. After eating, Chen Zhi wanted to stay and see the appearance of the fox fairy mother, but Ye Zi refused. Ye Zi said that because there was a fox sacrifice ceremony today, her great-grandmother had to stay in the ancestral hall all day and couldn't come out. Ye brought them two large bags of wild game and told them to leave the village before dark.

Fat Wei got along very well with Ye Zi this day, Ye Zi liked his smartphone very much, Fat Wei generously gave it to her, and promised her to take her to the city in a few days.

After dinner, Chen Zhi sat on the threshold, thinking about what to do next, Fat Wei came over and sat down next to him, and said to Chen Zhi in a low voice: "I have been talking to Ye Zi all day today, she was sent to the town to study a few years ago, and she hates this superstitious village, she said that her sister died of a sudden illness, and she has never seen a corpse." I kept looking at her face as she spoke, she didn't know anything, she wasn't lying. Fat Wei looked back at the leaf that helped Qin Yueyang wipe his wound, and said softly to Chen Zhi: "We must go to see the fox sacrifice ceremony tonight, there must be cats in this village."

When the sun set, Chen Zhixian went to the firewood stack to look for spring flowers as promised, but he didn't see her.

Chen Zhi had no choice but to go back to Ye Zi's house first, and at this time, some villagers appeared at the door of Ye Zi's house. These villagers are all strong-looking, with shovels and pickaxes in their hands, no smile on their faces, and a strange look in their eyes, like cult believers who have been brainwashed for a long time.

An old man in the lead said, "It's getting dark, so let the strangers leave the village." We don't let outsiders stay overnight here. The old man's voice was buzzing, like phlegm, very distinctive.

"See? It's not up to me to decide, so let's go! It's dark and the mountain road is not easy to walk. Ye Zi said helplessly to Chen Zhi and a few people, making a send-off appearance.

In this way, Ye Zi walked towards the entrance of the village with Chen Zhi's team.

Fat Wei was very dissatisfied with the old man's rude behavior, and asked Ye Zidao: "Little sister, who is that old man?" So fierce, dare to talk to you in that tone? ”

Ye Zi sighed helplessly, "He is Chunhua'er's father, the shaman of the ancestral hall in the village, he has a lot of power in the village, if I hadn't taken you in, he would have beaten you out with a pickaxe, and he is usually not afraid of anyone except my great-grandmother." This broken village is full of superstition, and I must leave this broken village. Ye Zi said indignantly.

In this way, Chen Zhi and several people were sent to the entrance of the village, Ye Zi said goodbye to them one by one, Fat Wei kept promising Ye Zi that he would come back in two days, take Ye Zi to the city to have a look, and let Ye Zi put away his smartphone, he would call often, Ye Zi smiled and said nothing.

After the men left the village, it was already dark, and instead of going up the mountain, they set up their tents at the foot of the mountain.

In the tent, several people discussed, Chen Zhi thought that Qin Yueyang's condition was very bad, although she herself had not said it, but Chen Zhi could see that she was not very suitable for the climate in the mountains, and she was not walking as fast as before. So he wanted Xiao Gu'er to bring Qin Yueyang back to the town first. He, Fat Wei, and Ghost Knife went into the village at night to have a look.

Xiao Gu'er was very reluctant at first, he insisted on going with Chen Zhi, saying that he wanted to find clues to Mai Sui'er. Qin Yueyang also disagreed, she was worried that Chen Zhi would encounter dangers such as illusions and would not be able to deal with them, and she would not be able to explain to the leopard master at that time. So the final result was that everyone ambushed at the foot of the mountain together and set off together at night.

The deep mountains in the northeast were cold and biting, and everyone stayed in the tents at the foot of the mountains, because they didn't even light a bonfire for fear of being discovered. Chen Zhi's face was already numb by the cold wind, and Chen Zhi saw Qin Yueyang sitting on the side, his hands stuffed into his arms, his face was red and swollen, and he was trying to maintain even breathing.

At about 8 o'clock in the evening, the ghost knife asked everyone to look ahead, and Chen Zhi saw that in the village, a lot of torches suddenly lit up, and the flames were dotted, slowly gathering towards the center of the village.

It should be time, Chen Zhi nodded to the team and motioned for everyone to follow him down the mountain.

Before Fat Wei went up the mountain, he patted Chen Zhi and said: "Orange, you will be vigilant later, damn it, I smelled a smell of blood since I entered this ghost village, and the people in this village definitely eat meat."
