Chapter 72: A Woman of Unknown Origin
She had seen the fate of animals caught by this thing before, and she seemed to have seen the tragic situation of her body being torn apart, and an unprecedented fear was overwhelmingly attacking her!
The cold air carried by the claws had clearly invaded her skin, and she closed her eyes in despair.
At this critical moment, only the sound of "ping-pong" was heard, and the expected pain did not come, and she opened her eyes again and was surprised to find that the thing had disappeared.
There was a ghostly thing lying on the ground, and when she leaned over, it turned out to be the pipe that Daddy had forgotten to carry!
Scattered around the pipe's side were a few long, bloodstained nails that had been shaved off!
Zhenbei and her mother-in-law rushed out of the wing room at the same time.
The mother-in-law put her arms around her and looked her up and down, and when she saw that her granddaughter was fine, she felt a palpitation and was afraid, and couldn't help shedding tears.
She looked at the two chickens who had returned safely to the shed, and the crying was a little louder because of some more joy.
When the grandparents finished crying, their emotions calmed down a little.
"Oh, are you okay?" Zhenbei asked.
Yu'er nodded, raised her eyes as red as rabbits, looked at Zhen Bei, and said, "Brother Gu, but you saved me?" ”
Zhen Bei shook her head, smiled and pointed to the only person who was still in the room, and said, "He saved you!" ”
Since then, the eyes that Nangong He looked at were full of shining stars, and this ugly pock-faced brother instantly became tall and powerful in her mind.
"Mother-in-law, oh'er, beware of the cold on the ground, let's go into the house first!" Qin Wuchen was awakened by the two voices of the girl, and he walked out of the wing room with Zhenbei with sleepy eyes, not yet understanding what had happened to Fang Cai.
A few people returned to the wing room and sat down.
"What the hell is that?" Zhenbei remembered the strange conversation between her mother-in-law and her grandmother before, and understood that they must know something.
The mother-in-law sighed and said, "It's come to this, and it's okay to tell you." ”
It all started three years ago.
A few children of seven or eight years old went to the cemetery behind the mountain to explore and accidentally found several stumps that had been torn by wild beasts.
This group of frightened dolls cried and called for adults to go and check, only to find that the stumps were gone!
The village chief was worried that a fierce beast had come to the mountain and someone was attacked, so he hurriedly summoned everyone to check the number, but found that no one was missing!
Could it be that the victim was an outsider passing through this mountain?
At this time, the corpse could not be found, and there was no way to notify the government to investigate the case, so the village chief warned everyone to go out hunting and must pull a few more companions, and the matter came to an end.
Half a year later, just when everyone had almost forgotten about it, Wang Shun, who went to the grave to worship, found a woman's arm in the graveyard.
Seeing the round birthmark printed on the arm, Wang Shun was like a lightning strike!
It turned out to be the arm of his wife, who was supposed to be lying in the tomb just a few days after he died!
On closer inspection, the tomb had some new earth turned outside, apparently in a few hours.
He hurriedly called everyone to dig up the grave again, and found that the body in the coffin was missing!
Thinking of the incident half a year ago, a family member who had died during that time resolutely dug up the grave regardless of the taboo, and it was really empty.
Panic and anger hung over everyone.
It just so happened that a few days later, someone in the village died, and the village arranged for everyone to take turns to guard the grave, and it was bound to find the gravedigger who had lost his conscience.
One day, two days...... Just as everyone was about to give up, on the evening of the seventh day, a black shadow quietly fell in front of the new tomb.
After looking around left and right, it began to dig with its claws, and kept secretly observing the people in the cemetery, and saw that the prisoner finally appeared, waving a club and surrounding him.
The thing looked like a man and was not human, wearing a black shabby robe, and its hair was scattered all over its face, and it was impossible to see what it looked like.
It moves nimbly and nimbly, like a loach, and the Orion's knives and arrows can't even get close to it, so that it can't hurt it in the slightest.
Under the siege of seven or eight Orions, the thing still managed to escape!
Since then, it seems to have gone straight away, and at night, it will come to the village in the open!
The trap set by everyone is not the slightest threat to that thing.
At first, everyone still got together to discuss how to subdue and shoot the thing, but the other party seemed to be invulnerable, and after a few strong men were injured in the village, they became more and more inferior, so they could only be on guard, and closed the door before it was dark and avoided at home.
Fortunately, that thing only appears at night, and as long as it doesn't take the initiative to provoke it, it won't take the initiative to breed right and wrong!
Seeing that everyone in the village was hiding, it seemed that there was no fun, and the thing gradually disappeared.
The people in the village finally breathed a sigh of relief.
However, the good times did not last long, and since half a year ago, the village began to lose some livestock one after another, ranging from chickens, ducks and geese, to cats, dogs, cattle and sheep.
Until one day, it was found grabbing a live duck and munching on it, and the matter finally came to light.
It is most normal for a hunter to catch some docile animals and keep them in captivity for emergencies.
In the past, these animals were kept in captivity outside the hospital, and after this incident, everyone had no choice but to rush back to the courtyard before dark.
As the courage became more and more bold, this thing gradually began to climb over the wall and cross the house, into the yard to hunt prey, just two days ago, there was even a family lost a milk doll playing in the yard!
No matter how sacred that thing may be, once it is targeted at a person, it cannot be allowed to do any more evil.
Zhenbei asked, "Mother-in-law, but do you know, where is it hiding during the day?" ”
"I know!" "I once heard my father say that the last time he went hunting, he saw some scattered long hair near the rocky stream in the West Mountain, which should have fallen from it!" ”
Zhenbei asked the direction of the rocky stream, and walked out.
"Brother Gu, wait a minute!" Qin Wuchen hurriedly stopped him, "Since that thing is very ferocious, let's find a few more people to discuss the proper method, it's not too late to go!" ”
Zhen Bei smiled slightly and said, "No need. ”
After she said this, she walked straight into the west wing, and after a while, another person was pulled out.
In the blink of an eye, the two of them had climbed over the wall and disappeared.
Qin Wuchen looked at the empty courtyard thoughtfully.
The mother-in-law was already full of anxiety, and hurriedly stood up: "Oh, these two young people are too reckless!" Wouldn't it be in vain to break in like this? No, I have to call the village chief and they rush to the rescue! ”
Qin Wuchen stopped her and said with a smile: "Mother-in-law, don't worry!" Just sit down and drink tea and wait with peace of mind! ”
At this time, Zhen Bei and Nangong He were already standing outside a hidden cave.
That thing was injured by Nangong He and was healing in the cave.
Occasionally, a low cry of pain came from the cave.
The sound was a little hoarse, but it was clearly not something that a beast could make!
Zhenbei glanced around, and by the moonlight, she could vaguely see the surrounding terrain.
I wonder how many exits there are from this cave, and smoke them out with smoke? Or just break in?
According to the mother-in-law, this thing is very resentful, no matter what, it must be captured, and it cannot be allowed to escape again, otherwise after they leave, the people in this village will have endless trouble!
Zhen Bei was still racking her brains to think of a perfect plan, when she saw Nangong He walking towards the cave with a big grin.
"Hey, wait! Don't scare it away! Zhenbei grabbed his sleeve and whispered.
"Afraid? I put some powder on the pipe, and it couldn't move! Nangong He said slowly.
Zhen Bei was overjoyed at first, and then said angrily: "Why didn't you say it earlier, I and my nephew also took that pipe!" ”
"Don't worry, this powder is not poisonous, it just makes people unable to move for half an hour!" Nangong He said with a smile.
Zhen Bei clearly saw the meaning of teasing and teasing in his eyes, her limbs had begun to go numb, and she grinded her teeth and said viciously: "Nangong He, you'd better pray, one day it won't fall into my hands!" ”
"What do you think of King Naben?" Nangong He bared his teeth neatly and smiled at her.
It was the first time Zhen Bei had seen him, and he had such a childish demeanor, although he had a face on his face, the bright smile in his eyes that went straight to the bottom of his heart still made her heart move inexplicably, and the threatening words on her lips were forgotten.
"Stay here honestly, don't drag this king back!" Nangong He took the night pearl from Zhenbei's hand and walked towards the cave with the ghostly light emitted by the bead.
Before stepping into the cave, he turned back and said, "Something called me out loud!" ”
Was he worried that there would be danger in the cave and deliberately left her to wait outside?
Zhen Bei's legs and feet were completely disobedient, and she couldn't help but have mixed feelings in her heart as she watched Nangong He disappear into the hole.
Although Nangong He is strong in martial arts, what is the situation in the cave, no one knows, will there be a trap in the end? Is there really only one thing in the cave?
As time went on, Zhen Bei became a little uncertain.
At this time, there were several heart-rending roars from the cave, and Zhenbei stared at the cave tightly, and the worry in her heart became more and more intense.
"Nangong He!" She couldn't help but shout.
"What do you want this king to do?" A lazy voice came from the cave and replied.
There was a glimmer of light at the entrance of the cave, and a tall figure stepped out, holding the Night Pearl in one hand and a tree trunk the size of a small arm in the other.
"But you've already been caught?" Zhenbei asked in a trembling voice
Seeing that he walked out unharmed, her high-minded heart finally relaxed.
Nangong He raised the trunk slightly, and Zhen Bei found that at the other end of the trunk, there was an unknown object that was struggling slightly.
The trunk of the tree was hooked just over the hem of the thing's coat, and it was lifted up by the waist, its limbs on all fours, its long messy hair dragging on the ground.
"What the hell is this?" Zhen Bei was surprised.
Nangong He shook the trunk of the tree, and the thing fell to the ground, and he used the trunk to pick up the messy hair that covered its face, revealing a face covered with filth!
"Ahh She's a person! Zhen Bei was shocked.
In the moonlight, the face was distorted with anger, and it was not only a man, but a woman!
At this time, she was staring at Zhen Bei and Nangong He viciously with a vicious gaze!
