Ah Guang immediately put down the dishes and chopsticks and asked, "What's wrong?" ”

The little boy said: "It seems that there is a problem with the sacrifice of the day after tomorrow, and many adults are watching there, and Brother Aguang, your uncle is also there." ”

Ah Guang turned his head to Lin Chu and the three of them and said, "Everyone, I'm sorry, you keep eating, I'll go for a trip." ”

Lin Chu stood up and said, "I'll go with you." ”

Xu Minghao nibbled on a big leg of mutton and said with a greasy mouth: "Cousin, what are you going to make a fuss about this kind of thing?" ”

Lin Chu glanced at him: "Eat yours with peace of mind!" ”

Hu Lai wiped his mouth and stood up, and the posture was also going to go together, but Xu Minghao grabbed his arm.

Xu Minghao whispered: "It's better if they are gone, let's plan it well, how to scare that guy at night." ”

Hu Lai had no choice but to sit back and watch Lin Chu and Ah Guang leave.

In order to avoid running into Yan Xi, who was playing with fireworks in the front yard, Ah Guang took Lin Chu out of the back door.

On the way, Lin Chu asked the little boy curiously, what was wrong with the sacrifice?

The little boy couldn't answer the question.

However, since the patriarch Yan Cunhua is here, the problem must be not small.

They came to the back dam in the village.

I saw a lot of villagers on the periphery of an earthen circle.

When I got about ten meters closer, I smelled a strong smell of blood.

Lin Chu frowned at that time.

Ah Guang took Lin Chu to squeeze into the crowd and into the earth circle.

In this circular earthen circle with a diameter of about ten meters, Lin Chu saw a blood-stained corpse.

A cow, two big fat pigs, four sheep, and countless chickens, ducks, and geese, all fell to the ground.

Among them, pigs, cattle, sheep and livestock were disemboweled, and the internal organs flowed to the ground, and the picture was very bloody.

Even a dog tethered to the door of the earthen circle was killed.

Yan Cunhua is learning about the situation with the villagers in charge of the sacrifices.

This was the first time Lin Chu had met the village chief and patriarch of Yan Village.

He is calm, serious, gloomy, and unsmiling.

After all, he has to manage the whole clan of 100 people.

Yan Cunhua found that Lin Chu was looking at him, but he was not angry, but nodded slightly at Lin Chu, which was regarded as a greeting.

Ah Guang stepped forward and asked, "Uncle, what's going on?" Who did it? ”

Yan Cunhua sighed: "It may have been done by the beasts in the mountains." ”

Ah Guang couldn't believe it: "The outer wall of this earthen circle is so high, what kind of beast can jump in?" ”

Yan Cunhua said: "In short, something has happened, and it is useless to investigate the specific cause." ”

He then instructed the person in charge to transport these superb corpses to the entrance of the village and set them on fire.

Then prepare a new sacrifice, this time with a sturdy man, take a fork, and keep watch all night.

The person in charge said distressedly: "Patriarch, what a pity it is that these are burned like this?" It's better to take it back and marinate it into bacon. ”

Yan Cunhua said solemnly: "These were originally prepared for sacrificing to the ancestral gods, but they were spoiled by the beasts in the mountains, so they should be burned immediately, and you are still thinking about using them to marinate bacon?" Does my Yan Village lack this bit of food and drink? Beware of angering the ancestral gods, let's have no harvest in the coming year! ”

The person in charge was stunned and hurriedly admitted his mistake.

While the few of them were talking, Lin Chu had already squatted on the ground to inspect the carcasses of these animals.

He noticed something very strange.

Then all the livestock, pigs, cows, sheep, chickens, ducks, geese, and all the eyeballs are gone.

Pigs, cattle and sheep were disemboweled, and the wounds were obviously bitten.

And the bite marks are completely different from those left around the eyes of livestock.

It is stated that there were at least two kinds of "beasts" at that time.

One is smaller and more numerous, and they exclusively feed on the eyeballs of livestock.

So a cow, two pigs, four sheep and nearly a hundred chickens, ducks and geese were all eyeballed.

The other is large enough to fight pigs, cows, and sheep and kill them.

This larger "beast" specializes in eating hearts.

Because Lin Chu found that in the belly of the pig, cow and sheep that were opened, all the other internal organs were there, but the heart was missing.

Specializing in eyeballs and hearts?

Lin Chu's brows furrowed deeper and deeper.

Is there such a picky beast?

How does it feel like it was done by the mountain spirits and wild monsters of the evil sect in the mountains?

Thinking of this, he thought of the ghostly monster under the water again.

Suddenly I felt uncomfortable.

Lin Chu felt more and more that the premonition he had when he first entered Yan Village was not an illusion.

This Yan village looks peaceful and peaceful on the surface, but in fact it is cloudy......

After examining the carcasses on the ground, he stood up and wiped his hands as he took a closer look around the walls of the earthen circle.

Because the ground was dry, the beast that committed the crime did not leave any clues such as footprints.

"Lin Chu, let's go."

"Hmm."

Lin Chu followed Ah Guang out of the earth circle.

On the way, Ah Guang said suspiciously: "I feel that the uncle seems to know what kind of beast did it, and he also ordered him to go down and let the people in the village try not to go out to hang out at night, let alone go out of the village." But why didn't he tell us what the beast had done? ”

Lin Chu said very understandingly: "Because your uncle is the head of the family, the first thing he has to consider is stability, if he says that the truth will cause panic among the villagers, then after weighing it, it is understandable that he chooses to hide the truth." ”

Ah Guang asked curiously: "I just saw you squatting on the ground and observing for a long time, do you also see something?" ”

Lin Chu shook his head: "I don't know what kind of beast did it, but I can be sure that it is definitely not the beast we usually use." ”

Ah Guang didn't understand the meaning of Lin Chu's words, and said to himself: "Speaking of which, our Yan Village is indeed not very common beasts, at most wild boars, and other leopards, tigers, and gray wolves have never seen them. ”

Lin Chu sighed, and didn't want to correct him, but said: "Ah Guang, I'm already full, I don't need to go back and continue to eat, if you're full, then accompany me to go around." ”

"Okay."

Ah Guang followed Lin Chu to the old soaphorn tree in the village.

Lin Chu saw that there was no one around, so he asked: "Ah Guang, is there a girl in your village who likes to wear red dresses and costumes and is very good at playing the flute?" ”

Ah Guang thought for a while and shook his head: "It seems that there is no such person as you said." ”

Lin Chu was reluctant to give up: "You think again." ”

Ah Guang asked, "You have to at least tell me her age first, right?" ”

This really stumped Lin Chu, he came out of the water at that time, his eyes were shining, and he recognized that it was a woman, wearing a red dress in ancient costumes, and he didn't even know what she looked like or what she spoke.

Lin Chu had no choice but to say: "Her family lives in a very magnificent wooden building in the upper reaches of the river. ”

Ah Guang was suddenly shocked: "You...... Did you go into that building? ”

Lin Chu shook his head: "That's not true, I just looked at the river bank a few times, because the sun was going down and it was about to get dark, so I didn't think it was good to visit like this, so I came back." ”

Ah Guang immediately breathed a sigh of relief, and said happily: "Fortunately, you didn't go in." That building, called Yanjia Ancient Building, is the forbidden place of our Yan Village, except for the autumn equinox every year, adult men can enter it to worship their ancestors and sweep, and no one is allowed to enter the rest of the time. ”

Lin Chu asked curiously, "Why?" ”

Ah Guang said: "I don't know the specific reason for the taboo, I only know that if you trespass into the ancient building at other times, you will suffer from a serious illness, which is so serious that it threatens your life." In the past, there were two eleven or twelve-year-old boys in our village who were naughty and trespassed into the ancient building of the Yan family without authorization, but after they came back, they vomited and vented, afraid of light and wind, one of them did not survive, and although the other survived, but since then he has become demented, and two years later when he was playing by the river, he accidentally fell into the river and drowned. ”

After hearing this, Lin Chu was very surprised, if that ancient building was really so evil, how could the woman in red who played the flute live in it?

Ah Guang asked again: "Are you really sure that woman lives in the Yan family's ancient building?" ”

Lin Chu pondered and said, "I just saw her walking in the direction of the Yan family's ancient building, and I didn't see her walk into that building with my own eyes. ”

Ah Guang said: "That's right, it is impossible for the Yan family ancient building to live in, but then again, how can we have a woman in Yan Village who wears a red dress and can play the flute wandering in front of the Yan family's ancient building?" ”

Since Ah Guang didn't know, Lin Chu then diverted the topic.

At the same time, he became more and more curious about the identity of the woman.

If she really lives in the Yan Family Ancient Building, which is regarded as a forbidden place by Yan Village.

So who could she be?
