I thought I had been discovered, but I didn't expect the village chief to be so keen, I didn't even make a sound, he actually knew that I was there?

But what happened in the next second stunned me, less than a meter away from me on the wall, a figure seemed to come out of the wall, jumped up and fell to the ground outside, and then disappeared into the darkness in a blink of an eye.

I didn't dare to look any more, because the people in the courtyard were already in disarray, and there was a noise, and footsteps were running towards the door.

I knew that in a few seconds they would open the gate of the ancestral shrine, and that it would be unwise to leave in the direction of the man who had run away, so I turned around and ran in the opposite direction, bypassing the corner and hiding in a dark alley.

It was bright outside the ancestral hall, and those who chased it out lit torches one after another, and some people shouted and shouted to chase the person who ran away, and I was relieved to hide in the alley.

I'm a little confused now, who is spying on the villagers' actions like me? Why couldn't he hold his breath more than me, and ran away when he heard the village chief shout?

When I was puzzled, those people outside the ancestral temple who did not leave suddenly said: "Who moved these bricks?" ”

My heart suddenly rose to my throat again, and I didn't think that there were such careful people among those people who would notice the bricks I had moved, and it was troublesome now.

The light of the torches began to come towards me, and as soon as I turned the corner, they could see through the light that I was hiding here, and in my desperation I forgot to pick up the mask in my backpack, and watched in amazement as the torches got closer and closer.

When I was nervous, a hand suddenly stretched out from behind my back, and covered my mouth when I was defenseless, of course my exclamation could not be made, at this moment I was frightened, I didn't know who was behind me, and struggled desperately.

A low voice came from behind him: "Don't shoot, it's Dad." ”

When I heard this voice, I immediately breathed a sigh of relief, because this voice was so familiar, it was indeed my father's voice, and now I was not afraid at all.

Dad let go of the hand covering my mouth, his face could not be seen clearly in the darkness, but then he whispered, "Get into my cloak, they can't see us, don't be afraid." ”

Then I saw a large piece of black cloth, so I didn't hesitate to get into it, and it was close to my father's body, and I could feel his body temperature, and I didn't feel nervous in my heart.

Dad's cloak didn't seem to be very dark, I could see a few people with torches turned around, and I could see the faces of those people in the light of the fire, although they were all villagers I knew well, but now their faces were very hideous, and I don't know if it was because of the firelight.

There is a man with a torch who is already walking in front of us, but he is like a blind man, and he can't see the existence of me and my father at all.

I was still a little nervous, because the villager's face was really a little scary, I used to have the impression of him as a simple uncle, but now, his eyes are extremely vicious, and his mouth is open, and he looks like he has been evil.

Dad patted me on the shoulder from behind me, signaling me not to be nervous, and then the villager sniffed the air, then looked at us suspiciously, but instead of approaching us, he walked away with a puzzled expression.

After a long time, the people finally regained their composure and returned to the courtyard of the ancestral hall, and the torches were extinguished, and it was only then that my father whispered from behind me, "You are too bold to run over with these living dead alone." ”

The living dead? I was startled when I heard this, but he wouldn't let me ask any more questions, took away the cloak, took my hand, and said that we would go home first, and then we would talk slowly.

Dad's hands were very warm, giving people an inexplicable sense of security, and the two of us no longer paid attention to what was happening inside the ancestral shrine and walked back home quickly.

After entering the house, my mother had not yet slept, and she was very surprised to see our father and daughter come back together, and quickly asked me what happened.

Dad took off his thick clothes, sat down and smiled at his mother: "Jiang Cha, this kid, if I hadn't come back early, I'm afraid I would have been discovered by those guys, and I would have implicated you later, so it would be troublesome." ”

My mother and I were both confused and didn't know what was going on in the village, and then my father told us that he had just come back and happened to see me going out alone, and he didn't know what I was going to do, so he followed me.

This is really a praying mantis catching cicadas and yellow finches, I followed the villagers, and my father followed me, but I still thought I was very successful, and I couldn't help but blush when I thought about it.

Dad smiled and said that although he was far away from the villagers, he had already felt the death in them, and although he didn't know when it happened, the fact was that the people in the village were already dead.

Of course, my mother was frightened when she heard this, and she didn't ask why this was happening, and what our family was most worried about should do.

Regarding this matter, Dad said that there is no need to worry, we will move tomorrow, and the village can no longer stay, but as for what happened, I will come back to check it later.

Putting aside the bizarre events that happened in the village, Dad didn't know much about what happened in Changbai Mountain, so I repeated what happened, I have nothing to hide from him, Su Che's sudden change of heart, Wang Lin's pursuit and my counterattack, and the process of recuperating in that valley are all said.

After hearing this, Dad pondered for a long time, and said that this matter needs to be considered in the long run, even if you want to go to Yun Lotian to take revenge, you are not his opponent, so I hope you write down this account first, and act when you have the opportunity in the future.

I remembered what my mother said, he would tell me a good news when he came back, so I asked him what was the matter, and my father said that he was looking for me on the side of Changbai Mountain these days, and he was also looking for the whereabouts of Zixiao Cao, and then he met an old man who had been collecting medicine in the mountains all year round, and this person had actually heard of Zixiao Cao.

But it's a pity that the purple grass can only mature once in 60 years, a few years ago there was a stranger who had picked the only one to pick away, Dad didn't believe it at first, and then the old man took him to see it, the purple grass grew on a cliff that ordinary people can't go up at all, with a telescope can see that there are a few footprints on the thick snow, the old man said that someone picked the purple grass left behind, the old medicine pickers think that it is the footprints of the gods, because ordinary people can't climb up.

I said in my heart what kind of good news is this, Zixiao grass was picked by someone, it should be to refine some elixir, right? Could Dad still be able to find the person who collected the medicine?

Dad said that it is exactly like this, there are not many people in this world who can have such high skills, so if you inquire more, you can still find him, and when the time comes, you can come to the door to ask, maybe you can get a leaf or something.

Seeing my father's excited expression, I think it's better than searching Changbai Mountain and not finding Zixiao grass, at least now that I have a clear direction, there is still more than a year to go, there is always hope, right?

The family of three was reunited again, I tried not to think about those messy things, chatted with the second elder all night, and when the sky was slightly bright, the three of us simply cleaned up and prepared to embark on the journey down the mountain.

In normal days, at this time in the mountain village, it would be the chimneys of every house that are curling with green smoke, but today the village is exceptionally quiet, and there is no sign of activity in every house, not even the birds in the trees.

We walked on the silent path, I felt a little uncomfortable, although my father said that he would come back to see what was going on when he was settled, but walking in this lifeless village always made people feel obedient.

Needless to say, Mom is just an ordinary person, although she walks among us, she is still terrified.

Fortunately, nothing happened until we left the village, and we quickly descended the mountain road to a place with a wide dirt road, and Brother Oyama was already waiting for us in a car.

I haven't seen you for a month, and after seeing me, Senior Brother Dashan was a little distressed and said that I had lost a lot of weight, and I had suffered a lot these days, right? I? I shook my head and smiled and said It's okay, senior brother, you came so early.

Senior Brother smiled and said that I left last night after receiving a call from Master, and I have been waiting for you here for several hours

After everyone got in the car and set off, my father turned to me in the passenger seat and said, "Jiang Cha, you and your mother still can't be together for a long time for the time being, so after we go to the village to live, you better go back to the apartment to live, right?" ”

I was stunned, although I knew that I couldn't live with them, but I couldn't go back to the apartment, it was Su Che's house, what was it if I went back?

In this regard, Dad smiled and said that the house is now in your name, Su Che handed it over to me when he left, and I bought it in your name, it is now your home, what can't you live in?

But I still resisted a little, but I didn't want to refute his kindness, so I just said that I would go back to find Lin Yue first, and then think about it.

Dad didn't force it, nodded and said That's okay, we were all respectful of Lin Yuanshan before, but now it seems that he is actually a trustworthy person, and it is good for you to live in his house.

I said "um" and stopped talking, looked out the window at the rapidly falling trees and houses, and thought to myself, what should I do next? Do you want to go to school with Lin Yue again?

No, haven't I already thought about speeding up my practice? I can't waste any more time, fate has chosen me to take this path, I can't wait for others to help me anymore, the blood curse, Dr. Duan's hatred, I want to solve these things by my own ability.

The car quickly returned to the village, and when we reached the door, we saw that there were already people waiting for us.
