"It's strange, aren't the two of them from this village? When their names were mentioned, the villagers felt as if they had seen a ghost. ”

Ye Yuyao patted the horse's buttocks and continued to move towards the village.

This Shenjia village is a peaceful scene, the men are farming in the fields, the women are weaving cloth and carrying their children at home, and the old people gather in groups to play chess and chat.

It is located in a remote area, and almost no one comes, and when they see an outsider like Ye Yuyao, many people show curiosity.

"I want to ask if anyone knows where Shen Yunniang and Shen Qiyue are?"

As soon as the men, women, and children in the village heard this name, they immediately put down their work and ran away, eager to grow two more legs.

Eh!

A boy with pigtails fell to the ground, his knees dripping with blood from sharp stones on the ground.

"Woooooooooooooooooooooooooo

The little boy clutched his injured knee and sat on the ground and cried.

Ye Yuyao walked over, put her index finger between her lips,

"Shhh

She placed her hand on the boy's wound, and the boy felt a cool sensation that quickly relieved the pain in the wound.

Ye Yuyao smiled slightly, withdrew her hand, the little boy's injury had already healed, except for the broken skin, but it was no longer in the way.

"This is for you, tell my brother Shen Yunniang and Shen Qiyue what's going on?"

Ye Yuyao took out two pieces of candy, and the little boy's eyes were firmly fixed on the two pieces of candy, and his saliva was about to flow down.

She shook her hand proudly, fortunately she had experience in dealing with Bai Xiaoluo, and the child didn't believe that she could resist the temptation of such a thing.

"I'm telling you... Do you really give it to me? ”

"Of course."

"My father and mother said that Sister Yun Niang and Sister July gave it to the mountain god as a wife."

After saying that, the little boy snatched the candy cube and stuffed it into his mouth.

The corners of Ye Yuyao's mouth rose slightly, and two pieces of candy appeared in the palm of her hand.

"Anything else? If there's anything else, I'll give you two more. ”

"Yes! Daddy also said that the two elder sisters broom Xingke died in the whole family. l

"I'll ask you one more question, how to get to the village chief's house."

"Go inside from here, then turn right at a fork in the road and go back in again."

"Take it."

Ye Yuyao took out a few more sugar cubes and threw them to him, and led the horse to the village chief's house.

The scale of the entire Shenjia Village is not large, it is estimated that there are 100 households, almost about 300 people.

Soon she found the village chief's house, the only house in the village made of stone and bricks.

She knocked on the door,

"Who's coming?"

The wooden door was halfway opened, and out came an aunt in her forties and fifties.

"This official is really a face, he didn't come from other places."

The village is full of rough men, who has ever seen a young man like Ye Yuyao who is in the wind.

Her face is a little unpleasant, and whoever sees an aunt in her forties and fifties scratching her head in front of you will probably not feel good.

"This is the village chief's house?"

"yes, what's the matter with your man?"

"I'm from the Rime Academy, and I'm in charge of the case of Shen Yunniang and Shen Qiyue's disappearance."

The aunt's face changed, and her attitude instantly changed from sunny to cloudy.

"Let's go, I don't have anything to say, don't come to my man, you are not welcome in our family."

With that, she snapped the door shut.

After eating a mouthful of closed doors, Ye Yuyao was not discouraged.

These villagers obviously know something, and there must be something wrong with this mountain god.

Since the soft one can't be used, let's come to the hard one, and first catch the village chief and torture him.

Ye Yuyao has undergone strict training in the Yama Palace, and now he is not the person who was easy to be soft-hearted.

She jumped straight onto the roof of the house with a slight leap, pressed her ear to the tiles, and could faintly hear the conversation inside.

"There are people outside the village who have gone missing, Cha Yunniang and July."

"Who is here?"

"It's not like it's from the government, it's a person from the academy, it's quite young and a handsome guy."

"Hmph, then find a way to find an opportunity, invite him to dinner at night, and poison the wine."

"Murder again?"

"If you don't kill, you can't let him discover the secrets of this village."

"I said a long time ago that Yun Niang and Qiyue Yijin returned to their hometown, and they must have concubines outside, and they can't be chosen for sacrifices."

"This is not my choice, it is the will of Lord Yamagami."

The conversation in the house gradually became quieter, Ye Yuyao jumped out of the house, now she only had to wait until the evening when the village chief came to invite her to dinner.

Now all she had to do was wander around the village and see what other clues she could find.

"At the beginning of people, their nature is good, their sex is similar, and their habits are far away..."

Not far away, there was the sound of children reading.

"And Mr. Teach?"

Ye Yuyao followed the sound, and under a big locust tree, a young man with a beautiful face was teaching a dozen children to read and write, and they were sitting on a stool looking at Ye Yuyao, with curiosity in their eyes.

The young man tapped the blackboard with a ruler, and they immediately turned their heads away and stared at the blackboard closely.

"Memorize this as your homework for today!"

"Thank you, teacher."

The little ones stood up and bowed to the man.

"Dissipation."

"Oh!"

All the children ran home happily.

"Can this brother come and talk about it?"

Ye Yuyao said.

"Of course, wait for me to clean up."

The man put down the blackboard, put away the brush and inkstone, and set up the children's stools, and walked over.

"Sir would come to teach in such a remote place."

"The environment here is quiet, and the people are simple and good."

"Sir, do you know there's a mountain god here?"

He nodded,

"Of course I know."

"Is it true that the mountain god marries?"

"I don't believe in any mountain god to marry, but... The people who tried to trouble the mountain god are dead. ”

The young man paused,

"Where is this mountain god, it's obviously a mountain ghost, won't the people in the village protect their children?"

"If you don't give it away, the whole village will be barren and weeds will not grow."

"They won't turn to the government for help?"

"The officials of the government are just ordinary people, how can they be the opponents of the mountain gods."

"No one can take care of it?"

"The disciples of the Immortal Cultivation Sect will not come all the way to get rid of troubles for such a small village."

"Haven't asked the gentleman's name yet?"

The man untied the kettle at his waist, poured a sip, and said,

"Starling."

"Thank you, sir, for telling me, I'll go first."

Ye Yuyao's brows furrowed slightly, and a familiar smell made her suspicious.

Only then did she notice that there was a faint smell of corpses on Zhang Starling's body, this smell was only found on Zhu Bin, who had been with corpses all day, if it wasn't for the fact that when he opened the kettle, he rolled up his sleeves, Ye Yuyao wouldn't have smelled it.

How could a teaching gentleman have the smell of corpses on his body, she decided to follow Zhang Starling to see.

She hung far behind, Zhang Starling didn't seem to notice it, turned and walked into an alley, Ye Yuyao hurriedly walked in, but he suddenly disappeared.

"It's so fast, there's a problem."

Now the only clue is the village chief's house.

When night fell, Ye Yuyao came to the door of the village chief's house again, she knocked on the door, and the aunt's face was replaced by a kind smile instead of the original disgust.

"You're here, it's me wrong in the morning, my man gave me a beating, and now I invite you to come to my house for dinner."

Ye Yuyao pretended to be surprised and said,

"It's nothing, it's me who is too abrupt."

"Then it's just time to have a meal and resolve the conflict."

"You're welcome."

Ye Yuyao walked in the door, the village chief was sitting in his yard, the village chief looked like he was fifty or sixty years old, he looked a little obscene, and his black beard was long and dense.

"What a talent."

When he saw Ye Yu, he immediately stood up and said respectfully.

"The village chief praises it."

"Today, I offended the adults between my words, and I ask you to be magnanimous."

"It doesn't matter."

The village chief raised his glass,

"This wine should be compensated, I'll do it first as a respect!"

Raised his head and drank all his wine,

Ye Yuyao also picked up the wine glass,

"Then I'll take it as a salute."

She also drank the wine in her hand very decisively, the wine brewed by the rural people themselves was a little spicy and pungent, and she couldn't help coughing lightly.

The village chief glanced at his wife, and the two of them had a treacherous smile on their faces.

"Come and eat, eat."

Ye Yuyao put down the chopsticks after a few mouthfuls,

"Village Chief Shen, do you know anything about the mountain god in this village?"

"This... Nature is aware. ”

"What is this mountain god?"

The village chief's face was a little embarrassed,

"You don't have to ask that, you just need to know that your time is running out, and you can go on the road with peace of mind."

It is estimated that it should be the time for poison now, why is he still looking as usual.

"Are you waiting for the poison to strike? Then I'm afraid you're going to be disappointed. ”

Ye Yuyao had the Cold Moon Golden Flame in her body, how could a small poison hurt her.

"Hmph, even if I didn't poison you, I'm afraid you would be paralyzed and unable to move now."

The village chief picked up the firewood knife beside him and raised it high, trying to hack her to death.

Bang!

Ye Yuyao's body erupted with powerful spiritual power, and the golden circle of light flicked the village chief away, and the firewood knife in his hand pierced deeply into the wall.

"Tell me everything you know, or you'll never see the sun tomorrow!"

Bai Hongxue's bright sword body was reflected in the village chief's eyes, so that he couldn't care about the pain in his body and hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed to Ye Yuyao.

"My lord, spare my life, my lord, I have no choice but to do it."

"Tell me everything you know!"

"I only know that if I don't do what the mountain god says, not only will there be no harvest in the field, but even the people in the village will not be able to protect it."

"Have you ever seen a mountain god?"

"No, but someone is talking."

"Who!"

"The ruffian in the village, Zhang Xiang."

"You believe the words of a ruffian!"

"We didn't believe it at first, until the land in the village did become barren and cracked, and many families had to do it without children."

Ye Yuyao pondered for a moment,

"What about the people who came to investigate?"

"Both... were all paid tribute to ... Mountain God"

The village chief bowed his head in shame.
