At this time, I suddenly heard a loud noise coming from the courtyard. When I pushed open the door and walked out, I found Li Mai yelling loudly with Qing Yao.

Just as I was about to go over, the more Li Mai spoke, the more excited he became, and then his hand grabbed Qing Yao's face violently. And Qing Yao's face has been wearing a white scarf. Because of the snake scales on the face, I will always wear it.

The next moment, I saw Qing Yao's face towel being torn off. At that moment, everyone present was stunned.

"Ah...... Youkai......" There was a sudden scream from the crowd at the door.

Then Li Mai came back to his senses, and hurriedly picked up a wooden stick and hit Qing Yao's head. And Qing Yao hurriedly covered her face, facing the wooden stick that was laid, Qing Yao did not dodge or dodge.

At this point, my mind was completely confused, but I still ran towards Li Mai. But the injuries on my body are not healed yet, so my speed is so slow.

Li Mai shouted while beating: "Where did you come from, ugly bastard, I beat you to death, is Zhang De the one you killed?" ”

Because I was walking too slowly and didn't notice as I walked, I tripped over a stone and fell to the ground. It was only then that the villagers noticed that I had fallen, and everyone rushed towards me.

Li Mai walked up to me, looked at me and said, "You big liar, Zhang De must have been killed by the two of you." We really believe your nonsense, although Zhang De is not very good with the people in our village, but he is our person after all. Now that you have killed Zhang De, I want you to pay for your life. ”

I gritted my teeth and looked at Li Mai and said, "Zhang De's death has nothing to do with us, and I also said it yesterday." Whether he can survive or not depends on his creation, I didn't say that I would definitely bring him back to life. ”

"Hmph, do you think we'll take your word for it? You have ugly monsters with scales on your face, you must have bad intentions, you must have premeditated before, I will not believe you. Li Mai said, pointing at my head with a wooden stick.

After a while, Li Mai looked at the villagers and said, "Lock these two up and don't give them anything to eat in between." ”

When the villagers heard this, they helped me up and walked towards the room. And Qing Yao was also driven in by the villagers with wooden sticks, and Qing Yao did not say a word in between, nor did she resist anything.

When the villagers came out of the house, I looked at Qing Yao and asked, "Qing Yao, are you okay?" It's all my fault, I shouldn't have ...... yesterday if I knew it was so."

Qing Yao turned her head to look at me and shook her head, interrupting me: "It's okay, at least these people don't understand, you don't have anything wrong." ”

"Why don't you fight back?" I stretched out my hand and stroked Qing Yao's hair and said.

Qing Yao shook her head and smiled: "Why fight back, and I found out that they are all wrong, didn't you find out?" ”

"Something is wrong? What's wrong? I hurriedly looked at Qing Yao and asked.

"On the bodies of those villagers, I just smelled a faint stench. And each of them seems to have traces of demonic energy on their bodies. Don't you see that? Qing Yao looked at me and asked.

I shook my head awkwardly and said, "I've been patronizing you, and I haven't paid attention to Li Mai and them." According to you, there are monsters manipulating them? That is, they are controlled. ”

After hearing this, Qing Yao gave me a blank look and said, "You are really stupid, don't say anything else." If those villagers really weren't controlled, and they just saw my face, they would still have left us here? You can't kick us out of the village yet. ”

I thought about it, and then looked at Qing Yao and said, "Let's not talk about these first, let's think about how to get out first." If they're really controlled by monsters, I think they'll do it to us. I'm wounded now, and I can't fight them. ”

"Don't worry about that, I've got my own way when it's night. You can sleep peacefully now, and I'll take care of the rest. Qing Yao looked at me and said with a smile.

I nodded, but I didn't go to sleep. Instead, some charms were prepared, although the level of the charms was not high, but it was still okay to defend yourself.

For the rest of the day, Qingyao and I were locked in the house. No one paid any attention to us during this time, except in the evening someone brought us something to eat.

All I had to eat was some dry food and two bowls of water. Although things are simple, they are much better than nothing, so Qingyao and I simply took a bite.

As the time passed, it quickly came to midnight. Qing Yao patted me lightly, and then looked out the window.

I also got out of bed at this time, and then followed Qing Yao's side and looked out the window. At this time, there was no one outside the window, and there was silence in the courtyard outside the window.

The corners of Qing Yao's mouth rose slightly, and then slowly came to the door. Between Qing Yao stretched out the middle finger and index finger of her right hand, and after a while, she saw a green light appear on the tips of her middle and index fingers. A moment after the green light appeared, it flew towards the lock on the door, and when the green light hit the lock, the lock actually opened on its own.

Before I could exhale the magic, Qing Yao pulled me towards the door. Because of the injuries I had on my body, we didn't walk very quickly. Just as we walked out of the house, Qing Yao turned around and closed the door, a voice suddenly came.

"Are you planning to run away? It's not like your personality. ”

I hurriedly looked in the direction of the sound, and Qing Yao also turned to look in that direction at the same time. I saw a black figure leaning against the wall, and when I looked closely, I realized that the person was actually a man in black. Qing Yao saw that it was a man in black, so she was relieved.

With Qing Yao's support, I slowly walked to the side of the man in black.

I looked at the man in black and said, "Can you make a little noise next time you appear, do you know if I'm almost scared to death by you." ”

"Whoever told you not to pay attention to your surroundings, you still blame me for appearing without a sound. Could it be that you let me shout at me to enter the village with a trumpet? The man in black gave me a blank look as he spoke.

"Okay, okay, let's not talk about that. Before, Qing Yao found that those people in the village seemed to be controlled by monsters. Could it be that there are other monsters around here? I asked, looking at the man in black.

After hearing this, the man in black glanced at me and said, "Maybe it's not another monster, it's probably the fox demon from before." ”

"Fox demon? Hasn't the fox demon been solved by you? Could it be ...... You didn't solve it? I asked, staring at the man in black with wide eyes.

"Anyway, I guess I was deceived by it. I thought the fox demon was dead, but by the time I got back, the fox demon had already disappeared. Actually, I wanted to tell you last night, but after thinking about it, I still didn't say it. I didn't expect this fox demon's movements to be so fast, and now it has been controlled by the people in the village. The man in black spread his hands and said.

I glanced at the man in black and said helplessly: "Then you tell me, it's good now, Qingyao and I are locked up." If I hadn't had Qingyao by my side, I guess I wouldn't have been able to get out. ”

"Alright, you two don't have to say a word, let's get out of here first and decide what to do with things here." Qing Yao pulled me and said.

Just as Qing Yao's words fell, suddenly a footstep was approaching our yard. The three of us hurriedly crouched down to avoid being seen.

A moment later, a vague figure was seen walking into the courtyard. The man walked straight to our room, and after a moment of staring at the door, he turned and left.

When I saw the man leave, I felt that something was wrong. Didn't that person see that we were gone?

When the man walked out of the courtyard, I looked at Qing Yao and asked, "What's the matter?" Didn't he notice that we were gone? ”

Qing Yao looked at me and smiled, "When I left, I found something to put in the quilt." It just happened to create the illusion that we were sleeping, and this person should have been deceived. ”

"Okay, okay, stop talking nonsense. Let's get out of here first, I found a cave in the back mountain, which is relatively hidden. You happened to be recuperating there, and I happened to observe the situation in the village. The man in black looked at me and Qing Yao and said.

Qing Yao and I nodded after hearing this, and then followed the man in black towards the outside of the village. When I left the village, I found that the entrance to the village was actually guarded. Luckily, the man was asleep, so we walked out without alerting him.

After that, we followed the man in black all the way to a cave in the back mountain. When we walked into the cave, I realized that there was a fire lit inside.

I turned my gaze to the man in black and asked, "Good guy, it turns out that you've been hiding here all this time." I've always wondered where you sleep at night, and now I finally have the answer. ”

The man in black sat down to the side and said, "You kid is not stupid, but he is getting smarter and smarter. There are quite a few herbs around here, and I'll pick some tomorrow to help you heal your wounds. That's all for today, rest early, and I'll see if I can figure out the origin of that monster tomorrow. If it's the fox demon, then this matter is a little troublesome. ”

I frowned and said, "What do you mean by that?" ”

"I just praised you, why are you stupid again now? Come to think of it, if it was really that fox demon, it was almost in my hands before. Now that the whole village is under her control, it's easier said than done. And the fox demon must be blackmailed by the villagers. You can't leave those villagers alone, I guess you can't. ”

I didn't speak, and that's exactly what the man in black said. If it was really the fox demon, this matter would be even more difficult. Besides, now that the fox demon has injuries on his body, it will definitely not appear. And we didn't know where it was hiding, so we couldn't do anything to save the villagers. This matter must be handled until the man in black investigates clearly.

"Alright, don't think about it. You should take care of yourself, look at your wound, there is blood flowing out again. It must have been a wound when I was just walking. The man in black said, pointing to the wound on my body.

I looked over to the wound and saw blood oozing from the cloth that had wrapped the wound. At this time, I also felt the pain coming from the wound.

Qing Yao hurriedly got up on the side, then tore some cloths, and helped me bandage the wound again.

After all this, I didn't dare to move anymore. With Qing Yao's support, I went to the side to lie down on the thatched pile and rested.

And Qing Yao sat down beside me and guarded me. Qing Yao's hand caressed my face from time to time. The man in black sat beside the fire, he glanced at me occasionally, then turned back to fill the fire with some dry wood.
