After a while, the innkeeper left, and the red-robed corpse chaser and the black-clothed men disappeared. Wang Tiehammer followed behind Qiao Erliang and asked Qiao Erliang puzzledly: "Qiao Er, what are you doing sneakily, didn't you say that there are zongzi, where are they?" Where? ”

Qiao Erliang put his index finger in front of his lips and made a silent gesture, and rolled his eyes at Wang Tiezhu.

In order not to let the people in the house see them, the two of them walked in the corridor on the second floor with their waists bent, Wang Tiezhu didn't wake up in the first place, and he didn't look at anything after being tossed by Qiao Erliang for a long time. "You can play by yourself, I don't care, my old waist needs to rest." After saying that, he got up and wanted to leave, but was hurriedly dragged by Qiao Erliang.

"It's inside!" Qiao Erliang whispered.

The room behind them was lit with a faint candlelight, and five figures stood straight behind the door, drawing a long shadow in the hallway. There was only one person's voice inside, chanting a spell they didn't understand.

"Qiao Er... Could this thing be the live zongzi you said? ”

"Shhhh Now the first thing is to catch the shopkeeper first and ask clearly. You're watching here, and if there's any movement, go find the little warbler and take her out of here. ”

"Go and go back" Wang Tiezhu looked around and left and right, and felt that he was the only one left outside the door with five corpses closed in such an atmosphere, and the hairs and goosebumps on his body stood up involuntarily, only to see these five shadows turn around, walk around, and be no different from normal people, but they are dressed like Fan Wusheng, which is what we often call black and white impermanence. Wang Tiehammer squatted outside the door for about half a pillar of incense, but he only saw those black shadows twist a few times, and then returned to calm like a sculpture. Slowly the horror is not so terrifying, the upper eyelids and the lower eyelids are constantly fighting, there is a little wind in the corridor, Wang Tiehammer tightened his clothes and closed his eyes.

At the same time, Qiao Erliang quietly touched the backyard and found a hidden room at the foot of the stairs, with a faint light inside. Qiao Erliang dipped a finger in the saliva, moistened the window paper and looked in, the shopkeeper was sitting on the table counting the silver in a money bag. After observing for a while, he found that there was nothing unusual in the house, so he hid the dagger in his sleeve and knocked on the door.

"Shopkeeper, busy" Qiao Erliang smiled at him.

The man hurriedly put the silver in the bag and replied in a non-standard pronunciation: "Not busy, not busy"

"Shopkeeper, do you know where the group of people who just came came from?"

"This is not easy to ask, you, at first glance, it is an official family, these are people passing by, coming and going, how do I know what they do?" After saying that, he hurriedly waved his hand at Qiao Erliang.

"Then you always know this," Qiao Erliang took out a handkerchief wrapped in something from his arms, and as soon as he shook it off, the thing rolled from the table to the man with a grunt.

"It's... This.... How did you get it? Take it away! Take it away! The man nervously reflexively jumped onto the bed in the back.

That thing was nothing else, it was the eyeball of the batman who Qiao Erliang had just fought with. There were a few bloodshot spots hanging from the pulp white eyeballs, and some yellow goo was attached to them. The black pupils the size of mung beans stared at him, but even if this eyeball was gouged out, it was very crazy to look at it.

Qiao Erliang saw that the shopkeeper was so afraid of this eyeball, and he also knew that this eyeball was dug out from the face of the bat demon, and he was sure that he knew the story of it. He simply took out a dagger and stuck it on the table: "Say it all, otherwise there will be nothing in your place." Your head..."

"Don't... Don't be a military master, you see that it is not easy for me to run alone, in this troubled world, I have a bite to eat, do you say..."

"Say it quickly" Qiao Er and the others were afraid that something would go wrong outside, so they didn't dare to stay here for a long time.

"This human-faced avian bat, originally a legend of our generation, is used by adults to coax children to be obedient, saying that at night, human-faced avian beast bats will come out to forage for food, especially to eat people who are still lit in the middle of the night. But for so many years, I always thought that Abba made it up to lie to me."

"And later"

"Twenty-five years ago, a small lake was found in the mountains in the north, it stands to reason that there should be no lake in this steep mountain road, but the water is so clear, a whole village lives on this little water, until one night, I remember that night when the moon was the fullest, I had this table so high, the night was the bonfire party in the clan, I was too sleepy, so I went back to the house with my sister to sleep, I heard a noisy sound outside in my dream, I ran out to see, the outside seemed to become a sea of fire. The bamboo forest was all burning, and the villagers were running around like bloody people, and many big birds were flying overhead chasing them. ”

"They're all dead?" Qiao Erliang asked

"When I ran back to the house to see my sister, she was gone." The man hung his head. "For a whole month, I stepped on the corpses of my fellow villagers, some of them were gone, some of them were only severed limbs, and when the moon was full again the next month, I hid in a cave and watched the dense crowd of human-sized bats hovering in the air. I don't dare to recognize anything else, but Ah Mei's eyes have not changed."

"You're saying they became flying batmen after being attacked?" Qiao Erliang was puzzled, thinking that this boss must have become mentally abnormal alone in this deep mountain and old forest.

"Later, I learned that the water in this lake is the jade dew in the legendary Guanyin jade bottle, sprinkled in this mountain to suppress the demon bat, but the people in the village drank it, and the water was less, so the demon bats naturally came out to eat people."

"There is one more thing," Qiao Erliang pulled out the dagger on the table with a solemn face. "Those people, but the corpse chaser?"

The shopkeeper hesitated, his eyes kept glancing at the money bag on the table, and when Qiao Erliang saw this, he took out a gold bar from his waist and slapped it on the table. "Rest assured, keep you safe"

"Alas, business is not good these days," the man picked up the gold bar, put it in his mouth and bit it. "That's the people from other counties who drive corpses, and every time they pass by me, they make some markings, give me enough silver, and I don't say what to do. Recently, they even sent me a lot of food! ”

"Grain?" Qiao Erliang smiled, "It's the first time I heard that the store can still take a grain mortgage"

"But you still don't want to provoke those black guys, do you know what the corpse chaser means?"

"It's nothing more than a dead man" As soon as Qiao Er's words fell, he heard the sound of panicked and heavy footsteps on the stairs. Qiao Erliang hurriedly went out to look, and saw Wang Tiehammer walking back and forth in the corridor.

"Didn't you watch, what are you doing here?"

"Second brother! The man is gone! ”
