Chapter Eighty-Nine: The Man Behind the Scenes

Judy held the obsidian dagger and stared at the eerie scarecrow in front of her.

I saw the scarecrow raise the bloody sickle in his hand and brush it with the tattered sleeves on his body, and suddenly the blade of the sickle was exposed, and the two of them shivered when he saw it, which was really infiltrating.

The scarecrow finished wiping the scythe, and did not make any other movements, just stood there alone, opposite Judy.

However, Judy is far less calm than the scarecrow, although she is not afraid of the weird scarecrow on the surface, but the palm of her hand is already oozing sweat, and the obsidian dagger she holds is also a little slippery, and she has to work harder to ensure that the obsidian dagger will not come out of her hand after a while.

So far, she still didn't know anything about the scarecrow in front of her, and even the results of the crossbow just now proved that ordinary weapons can't kill this thing, and obsidian daggers can only kill strange ghosts, I don't know if it will have an effect on this thing.

Even if it does some damage, it's good to give them a chance to escape!

"I'll hold it for a while, and you'll find a way to get out of here, understand?" Judy said in a deep voice to the two favorite couples behind her.

Zhong Yi's face was pale and bloodless at this time, and he covered the wound on his shoulder with his hand, but the blood still couldn't stop flowing from his fingers.

And Hu Xiaoqing's foot was pierced by wooden thorns, even if she pulled out the wooden thorns, it must be impossible to continue walking.

If you want to get these two people out of the orchard, I'm afraid that Judy will not be enough to hold the scarecrow alone.

But now there is only Judy, no matter how difficult this task is, Judy will never retreat!

However, at this time, the figure of the scarecrow suddenly moved, turning into a cloud of green smoke and dissipating.

"What's going on?" Judy saw the scarecrow disappear, but instead of taking it easy, she raised the obsidian dagger and kept looking around to watch out for the scarecrow's sneak attack from other directions.

However, after a long time, Judy did not find the existence of the scarecrow, as if the scarecrow had really disappeared.

……

"You...... You, you! You're back for your life! ”

As soon as Chen Dehou heard Jun Chengzong's question, he showed a frightened expression, although his hands and feet were not good, he still wanted to get up from the recliner.

The old man Chen Dehou was already in his old age, but he still showed such a frightened expression, which couldn't help but make Jun Chengzong feel surprised.

Jun Chengzong turned his head and glanced at Chen Yangcheng behind him, and found that Chen Yangcheng also had a similar expression to himself.

"Calm down first, I'm a human, not a ghost!" Jun Chengzong hurriedly stepped forward, wanting to prove himself, but Chen Dehou didn't listen to it at all, and hid back vigorously, that reaction was really a hell.

And at this time, Chen Yangcheng also came up, helped the old man Chen Dehou to stand up from the recliner, and shouted loudly in his ear: "Seventh master, he is really a human being, he has a shadow, don't believe it!" As he spoke, Chen Yangcheng also pointed to the shadow at Jun Chengzong's feet.

Although the sun has turned west at this time, the elongated shadow at Jun Chengzong's feet is still very clear.

Hearing Chen Yangcheng say this, Chen Dehou calmed down a little, but he still looked at Jun Chengzong's eyes with a little fear.

At this time, no matter how wooden Chen Yangcheng is, I am afraid that he can see that there is really something wrong with the scarecrow in the orchard, and he believes Jun Chengzong a little.

Because it was getting late, Chen Yangcheng helped Chen Dehou into the house, and no matter what he said, he would go into the house and say it.

helped the old man Chen Dehou into the room and sat on the sofa in the living room, and then at this time, the old man Chen Dehou began to tell what he knew.

It all happened decades ago, in the year Chen Jianguo was elected village chief.

Back then, Chen Jianguo was just a hairy boy in the village who didn't know anything, but he didn't know why, he was sent to study outside the mountains by the village chief at that time, and no one in the village knew what he had learned.

Or maybe I don't understand it at all.

At that time, the matter of sending Chen Jianguo out for further study aroused the opposition of many people in the village, after all, there were still many capable and hard-working young talents in the village at that time, why let Chen Jianguo, a lazy child, go?

However, because it was arranged by the village chief at that time, and the list had already been reported, it could not be changed at all, so Chen Jianguo was sent outside the mountain to participate in the study.

Two years later, Chen Jianguo returned from school, and the temperament of the whole person has undergone earth-shaking changes, as if he has changed a person, not only has he changed his previous laziness, but he has also become a little more energetic, which really made the young people in the village envious at that time.

Then, the old village chief stepped down and directly elected Chen Jianguo as the new village head, but there was no such thing as a democratic vote at that time, so Chen Jianguo directly became the new village head, and struggled to lead the villagers to enter a well-off society.

However, just when the villagers believed that Chen Jianguo would definitely bring those advanced ideas from outside the mountains to the village, Chen Jianguo led the villagers to demolish the farmland in the village.

As I said before, Changqian Village did not have much arable land in the first place, and with such a push, the economic source of the entire village would be lost.

Therefore, Chen Jianguo's first fire as a new official took office burned everyone's eyebrows, and this behavior naturally aroused the opposition of a considerable number of villagers, and some people even advocated replacing Chen Jianguo and re-establishing a new village head.

However, in the face of the accusations and denunciations of the villagers, Chen Jianguo not only did not get angry, but also personally invited the villager who made the most trouble to his home.

After that, no one saw the villager again.

Although no one said the whereabouts of the villager, everyone knew it.

Moreover, when Chen Jianguo's neighbor got up at night that night, he also said that he saw a thatched straw man eating people in Chen Jianguo's stable, and it was the missing villager who was eating.

Later, no one dared to oppose Chen Jianguo, and the matter of arriving land and building houses was also progressing smoothly.

Although no one dared to oppose Chen Jianguo openly, there was still a small force behind the scenes that disobeyed Chen Jianguo's various measures, which made it difficult for Chen Jianguo to carry out his work in the village for a while.

However, it should be a month after the disappearance of the last villager, overnight, all those who disobeyed Chen Jianguoyang died tragically in Houshan, which is now the land of Changqian Orchard.

Later, Chen Jianguo built the Changqian orchard, and despite everyone's opposition, he put such a nondescript scarecrow in the hinterland of the orchard.

At that time, there were rumors in the village that Chen Jianguo had learned some evil arts in the two years outside, and that scarecrow was the source of his evil arts.
