Chapter 34: An Ancestral Hall of Women

Looking at the middle-aged man who was shivering in the corner covered in blood, Lu Qiu frowned wordlessly.

Early in the morning, they received the news of Wu Yan's tragic death and hurried over.

Wu Yan's death is a miserable one.

The entire head was almost shad off, only the back of the neck was still attached to a bit of skin, and even the vertebrae were cut off in unison. It looks like a sharp weapon cut off, the section is smooth, and the traces of blood splatters are regular.

Wu Yan still had a frightened expression on her face, and it seemed that she had been killed before she could react.

"What did you see last night?"

Lu Qiu asked the frightened man speechlessly, and the middle-aged man raised his head and looked at Lu Qiu speechless.

"I, I, I, I didn't see anything...... I didn't hear anything last night, but I got up in the morning and that's it......"

Kill a person without waking up the cohabitant......

Could it be that there is some condition, only Wu Yan triggered?

There was no water source in the house where they lived to clean the blood stains on their bodies, so there was no way, so the middle-aged man had to wipe it with a cloth at will, and then went out to find river water to clean.

"Where do you think we should go now?"

Lu Qiu Wuyan asked Gu Chong beside him, Gu Chong was stunned for a moment, and looked at Lu Qiu Wuyan, this was the first time Lu Qiu Wuyan asked him a question since they had entered the world so many times.

"Hmm, I guess we should search the village first?"

"Where did you find it?" Lu Qiu continued to ask wordlessly.

Gu Chong knew that Lu Qiu was testing him without words, so he didn't answer casually, but began to think carefully. He knew that this village was called Huaishui Village, and when they first entered the village, they saw an ancient stone tablet at the entrance of the village, which probably engraved the legend of this village.

In that case......

"I think we should start with the river in the middle of the village."

Lu Qiu nodded wordlessly, "Then let's go," and with that, she began to walk towards the center of the village.

Neither of them noticed that Song Yu's expression changed when he talked about the river.

……

When the three of them arrived in the middle of Huaishui Village, they really saw a river running through the village. It's a very peculiar sight that a village would choose to build here.

Although the river is not deep, the current speed is quite fast, and the color is not very clear, and it is a little turbid.

The middle-aged man and the people who were with him were also by the river, after all, the river was the closest, and it was normal for them to choose to come here.

Song Yinan and Xie Jinyu also followed.

"You're here too?"

Song Yinan saw Lu Qiu and the three of them speechless, and greeted them warmly, while Xie Jinyu nodded coldly

"Well, let's take a look over here."

"Oh, we came here yesterday, nothing special," Song Yinan said with a smile.

"Let's just take a look, after all, there is a river in the middle of the village, which is quite rare."

"Then feel free to do so."

After speaking, Lu Qiu Wuyan and Gu Chong walked along the river as if they were walking.

"Don't you think these two people are weird?" Gu Chong whispered to Lu Qiu without a word, "Although they are a couple, I always feel that girls are not very happy to take care of that man." ”

"Maybe that's what her personality is?"

"It's not quite the same," Gu Chong said, "I always feel that this girl is a little disgusted with him, but this person named Song Yinan is not a good person, but if the two have no feelings, why do they want to enter the world together?" Isn't that dangerous? ”

As he was talking, a small raft suddenly appeared in the clearing in front of him.

"Raft?" When Gu Chong saw this raft, he was a little puzzled. "Didn't you say that the water is not deep? It doesn't look very wide, so why use a raft? ”

Lu Qiu stepped forward wordlessly and looked at the raft carefully. The rope used to tie the raft is a little dry, it seems that it has not been used for a while, which is strange, there are villagers on both sides of the river, and they must come and go often or something, but this raft has not been for so long, which means that the villagers do not rely on rafts to cross the river?

Suddenly, Lu Qiu was speechless as if she had thought of something, she raised her head, her eyes drifted across the river bank to the opposite side, and in the woods on the other side of the river, she saw a pointed bulge, like the roof of a house.

"Let's go over and see."

This raft looks not small, but after really trying, it can't afford three people, especially one of them is a strong man of 1.9 meters, there is no way, and in the end it was decided that Lu Qiu Wuyan would go by himself.

As for why Song Yu didn't go, because, she refused.

That's right.

Song Yu strongly opposed crossing the river, this girl who seemed weak and couldn't take care of herself, but at this time she was extremely determined, that is, she would not cross the river if she died.

Watching Lu Qiu sit on the raft and slowly float to the opposite side, suddenly, Gu Chong felt that he was quite useless......

Lu Qiu silently picked up her family's broom as a paddle, she didn't want to fall into the river, the ghost knows if this river water would be a condition to trigger death.

Soon, she was on the other side.

Jumping nimbly off the raft and dragging it into the woods to hide, she ran to find the house with its spire.

It turned out to be an ancestral hall, and although the house looked old, it was very clean, as if someone was taking care of it regularly.

I pushed the door open with the broom in my hand, and I heard a "creak" and the door opened.

A strong scent of sandalwood came to my face, and I was greeted by two dimly lit oil lamps, and then rows and rows of tablets.

Tablet?

Lu Qiu squinted her eyes wordlessly, fortunately, she had been paying attention to the protection of her eyesight, so that she could barely read the words on the tablet by the sunlight.

Yu Xin, Feng Hua, Feng Qin, Feng Wenyan, Feng Xiuli...... Row after row of names, up to the last tablet, which reads,

Feng Amu.

If you just look at the name, it seems that the tablets enshrined in this ancestral hall are all women.

……

"Honey,"

Song Yinan, who was still by the river, suddenly heard Xie Jinyu beside him and shouted lightly.

He was flattered, you know, it had been a long time since he had heard Xie Jinyu call himself dear.

He said, what kind of grudge do women remember?

Just coax it twice, won't you come back obediently?

"My dear, you finally talked to me," Song Yinan hugged Xie Jinyu affectionately, "I'll tell you, Chen Lu and I are just ordinary friends, and I just helped her rub her foot that day, and I only have you in my heart." ”

Xie Jinyu nodded, a hint of disgust flashing in her eyes.

"Honey, I'm a little thirsty, can you go and get me some water?"

"Huh?"

Song Yinan looked at the river behind him, "Do you want to drink that water?" ”

"Otherwise, we won't have any other water to drink." As she spoke, she handed the bowl she took from the house to Song Yinan.

Song Yinan took it with some disgust, there was no way, so he had to go to the upstream place and scoop up a little water, but he didn't expect that although the water looked turbid, it was clear in a bowl.

Xie Jinyu took it and sipped it gently, and suddenly, she hugged Song Yinan and brought her lips to his lips. Song Yinan subconsciously took it in his mouth, and a stream of sweet liquid slid into his throat.

Song Yinan was about to deepen the kiss, but Xie Jinyu let go again.

"We're almost back." Saying that, Xie Jinyu ignored Song Yinan behind him and walked straight towards the house where he lived.

Song Yinan only thought she was shy, and followed with joy.

On the other side, Lu Qiu looked outside the strange ancestral hall without words, and did not intend to go in, so he went home.

Seeing Lu Qiu Wuyan coming back, Gu Chong hurriedly greeted him, and Song Yu actually walked over, his eyes kept looking at Lu Qiu Wuyan, as if he wanted to find something.

"Are you alright?"

"It's okay," Lu Qiu shook her head speechlessly, she looked at Song Yu, the two looked at each other, Song Yu hurriedly lowered her head to avoid Lu Qiu's wordless gaze.

This woman is a little eccentric.

She seemed to be scared of the river and what it looked like on the other side.

Why?
