Dahe Village is built along the mountain, and more than 30 houses pull out a curve, zigzag and meandering.

The path at the head of the village is paved with bluestone slabs, about two meters wide, and the road goes down to less than five meters to the big river.

It's the middle of November, and the river is frozen, but the ice is not thick, and adults can't hold it on the ice.

Less than ten meters back, a cry for help came from the river.

The light of the lantern barely encompasses the path, and the river is still dark, and it is difficult to see the situation clearly.

I thought about it, picked off a lantern, and carried it down the path, and saw the situation on the river.

A hole was broken in the center of the river, and a villager was half-lying in the water, weakly shouting for help, and next to him, a small yellow skin squatted.

"Yo, isn't this Huang Xiaoliu?"

Seeing the yellow skin, Hu Xiaojiu was interested, and said hello in a strange way.

The yellow-skinned man pouted. ignored Hu Xiaojiu.

"Little Sixth Brother, aren't you awesome? Why are you still being sent as an overseer? Hu Xiaojiu sharpened his throat and began to provoke.

I stood aside with a lantern, not interfering in the dirty relationship between Hu Xiaojiu and Huang Xiaoliu.

In mid-November, when it's warm, the daytime temperature can sometimes reach above freezing, but at night, the temperature is definitely below freezing.

This villager must have been soaking in ice water for a while. The face is cyan and the lips are an abnormal blackish-purple color.

I could still call for help before, but this would only give me a pleading look, and my lips squirmed for a long time, and only made a faint sound.

He should have tried to climb up, but there was an obvious press mark on his head, and I glanced at Huang Xiaoliu, the yellow skinned man who was guarding the side, and the press mark should have been dry.

Its mission may be to stop the villager from escaping. Let him freeze to death here, and experience the feeling of death coming little by little.

Death is actually not the most terrible, the most terrible thing is that you don't want to die, but you can feel death coming little by little, but you are powerless to resist.

"Hey, Huang Xiaoliu, what if I talk to you? Why aren't you awesome? Hu Xiaojiu is still provoking.

Within the Immortal Family, there is an unwritten rule that if you don't transform into a shape, you won't have an official name.

For example, Hu Xiaojiu, such as Huang Xiaoliu, neither of them has an official name, and before they transformed, they could only be named in the order of birth.

Hu Xiaojiu has nine brothers, and it ranks ninth, so it is called Hu Xiaojiu, and Huang Xiaoliu should be the same.

"What are you pretending to be deep, it's useless for you to pretend, and you can't transform from time to time, so you can only do some chores!" Hu Xiao rolled his eyes.

Huang Xiaoliu ignored it at all, just squatted on the ice and stared at the villagers.

"Hey, I'll let you pretend!"

Hu Xiaojiu grinded his teeth, and suddenly jumped out, aiming at the villagers' heads with a claw.

"You dare?"

Huang Xiaoliu, who had never moved, was furious, screamed sharply, jumped up, and crashed into Hu Xiaojiu.

Before the claw fell, a fox and a yellow became entangled and fought on the ice.

It's good that they didn't move, but this move, the cracked ice surface that was already tossed by the villager completely collapsed, and the villager sank directly to the bottom of the river, silent.

The moment the ice collapsed, Hu Xiaojiu and Huang Xiaoliu separated, jumped a little on the ice floe, and jumped to the shore, but one was facing me and the other was facing the opposite side.

On the other side of the river, after Huang Xiaoliu landed, the first time he did not look at the disappeared villager on the river, but took out a watch to check the time.

"Three minutes short!"

After reading the time, Huang Xiaoliu screamed, waved his paw and pointed at Hu Xiaojiu, and said a cruel word: "Hu Xiaojiu, you wait, I will avenge this revenge sooner or later!" ”

With that, it turned and leapt into the forest in the distance, disappearing from our sight.

"Hmph, fight with Lao Tzu, you're still a little close!" Hu Xiaodao.

"This is a good play!" I made a comment, went ashore with the lantern, and hung it back.

What happened just now, tomorrow it is Hu Xiaojiu who is stirring up trouble, and it must have done this with some kind of purpose, not simply revenge.

As for what the purpose is, I don't bother to ask, I only know one thing, in the face of absolute strength. Any conspiracy is.

Hu Xiaojiu is like me and my grandmother, the strength is there, and Sun Wukong can't jump out of the palm of the Buddha's hand.

For me to say that it was acting, Hu Xiaojiu smiled wryly, wanting to explain, but in the end he didn't say anything, just drooped his head and followed me.

Walking further along the path at the head of the village, I saw a fourth villager, kneeling in front of a gate, his body straight, his eyes bulging outward, his face covered in blood, his mouth sewn up, unable to say a word.

When I got to him, I found that it was not he who wanted to open his eyes, but that his eyelids had been cut, and the reason why he straightened up was not what he thought, but that he was nailed to the door.

In this weather, he was naked, and his body was covered with blood, and judging from this appearance, he wouldn't be able to survive for long.

Seeing his tragic condition, a trace of doubt rose in my heart, after coming out of Liu Laoer's house, I had already seen four villagers who had been executed along the way.

The four villagers, two men and two women, died in different ways, but they all had one thing in common, that is, they all endured great pain before they died.

They have today, and they are self-inflicted. What I don't understand is that it should be Xu Ya who punished them, but where is Xu Ya now?

At present, the people of the consistent Tao have come out, and the people of the Huang family have also come out, and these forces seem to have united together to avenge Xu Ya.

I don't think it's necessary. If you want to eliminate the resentment in Xu Ya's heart, you should let her do it herself.

I always feel that there is something greasy in this.

Continuing to walk forward, I saw three villagers with different deaths, I calculated, there were a total of thirteen villagers in the village, there were three corpses in Liu Laoer's house, and I met seven on the way. It adds up to ten, and plus Xu Ya, it's eleven.

That is, there are two villagers who are still alive.

In the process of calculating, I walked to the end of the village, and a large vat appeared in the middle of the road.

The cylinder is not large, it belongs to small and medium-sized, about one meter high. It wasn't the jar that caught my attention, it was the people in it.

There was a villager in the tank, and he sat in the tank, his head exposed, and a series of painful moans coming from his throat.

A few of us looked at each other, and I took a lantern from the door, went to the jar, and shone it inside.

Look down at it. A feeling of nausea rose and I almost didn't throw up.

Inside the tank, there are all kinds of insects, which cling to the villager and tearing at his flesh.

This is only one thing, the point is, inside the tank, I didn't see the limbs of this villager. He was cut down to a man.

"Grass!"

Spit out in one breath, and I burst into a foul mouth.

The villagers who were punished were worse than the other, and the methods were getting more and more ruthless, and the punishment for this person should have been done by that Gu master.

Counting this villager, there are already twelve people dead in Dahe Village, and there is only one person left, and that person is Lao Wang.

"Strange!"

I muttered. It stands to reason that the one who has done the greatest evil is this old king.

Several times before and after, it can be seen from the attitudes of these villagers that it is Lao Wang who is really useful in Dahe Village, not the village elder Zhang.

Many of the bad things that Xu Ya did were set by Lao Wang, or he did it first.

It stands to reason. He should have been the first to be killed.

I thought about it, walked back again, and went around in Dahe Village, but I still didn't find Lao Wang's body.

In this process, I didn't meet Wang Shu, nor did I see anyone from Hu Huangliu's family, except for a few of us in the entire Dahe Village. Not a single living thing was seen.

"Come on, what's small? Hyakki nocturnal, right? You tell me, where is the ghost? I took Hu Xiaojiu's brain melon skin, picked it up, stared at its eyes and asked.

"Engong, I didn't lie to you, I really didn't lie to you!" Hu Xiaodao.

"Didn't lie to me? Well, tell me, where is the ghost? I asked in a deep voice.

"I know, I know!"

Hu Xiaodao.

"You know? Well, tell me, where is the ghost? "I consciously increased the strength of my hands.

"At the mouth of the Great River!" Hu Xiaojiu blurted out.

"Big Bayou!"

I repeated. Things came full circle, and then turned back, I came to Dahe Village because thirteen corpses rushed out of the dark river at the mouth of the big river, and now everything is back to square one.

"You already knew, didn't you?" I asked.

"Dare to lie to me, I'll peel your skin off!"

Hu Xiaojiu's eyes rolled, and just as he was about to speak, I pulled out the black skin. Across its neck, he said word by word.

"Don't lie, don't cheat!" Hu Xiaoba! I stared at it faintly for a while, and spat out two words.

"I suspect they want to perform some kind of ritual, sacrifice something!" Hu Xiaojiu hurriedly said.

"Sacrifice?" I asked.

"This is what I analyzed!" Hu Xiaodao: "In the past few months, those few people have been revolving around the back mountain, digging again. It was dug again, I saw it in my eyes, and they finally united together, and from that moment on, I knew that there was something under the mountain, and it was not right in the dark river! ”

"So, you know you can't get by. You want me to take you to the mouth of the river, don't you? I asked in a deep voice.

"Yes!" Hu Xiaodao.

"Huh!"

I casually threw Hu Xiaojiu on the ground, what Hu Xiaojiu's identity is, I don't want to guess, but judging from its actions, I suspect that it is a grandmother's person.

All that happened tonight was so weird.

In other words, if I want to do something, layout somewhere, I will never allow uncertain factors to enter.

According to Hu Xiaojiu, the three families of Consistent Dao and Hu Huangliu have been preparing for so long, and they even fought with each other, and their brains almost turned into dog brains, which is enough to show that what they planned is very important.

That being the case, how could they be so reassuring of such an uncertain factor as mine?

I can only think of one thing about the reason why they are reassuring of me, please enter the urn, my grandmother set up this bureau in order to let me participate in it.

This is what my grandmother has always done, never telling me why, just calculating me step by step. It wasn't until afterwards that I was able to find a clue from what had happened before.

This time is the same, the corpse that rushed out of the dark river, Xu Ya's miserable experience, the snake fetus, and the tragic situation of the villagers being abused.

My grandmother guided me little by little, so that I couldn't quit and didn't want to quit.

Actually, she doesn't have to be like this. Not for others, even for the wedding dress, I will participate.

"Lead the way!"

I exhaled slowly and said lightly to Hu Xiaojiu.

"Hey!"

Hu Xiaojiu's eyes lit up, and he rolled over from the ground and led the way in front.

Walking along the bluestone path again, a strange feeling rose in my heart, the surrounding environment seemed to have changed a little, and the temperature seemed to have dropped a lot.

And the villagers, I know very well how miserable their deaths are, but when I look at them now, I don't see much pain on their faces, but a strange smile.

At first, I thought I had made a mistake, and I went back to look at it twice, and after looking at several corpses in a row, I was sure that I was not mistaken, these corpses were indeed laughing, and the corners of these corpses' mouths were hooked upward.
