As I pondered, there was a chaotic sound of footsteps outside the house, and it seemed as if three or four people were hurrying towards the house where we were.

Hearing this, I screamed badly, and thought to myself, "Could it be that they have noticed that we are hiding here?" Thinking about it, at the same time I thought about it, and said to Yaolong and the woman: "In that case, then let's do it, my friend and I will hide below, and you will stay here alone, and you will shout loudly at any movement, and we will come to your rescue." ”

The woman looked a little worried, but since there was no better way to do it, she nodded in agreement. Immediately, Yaolong and I entered the cabinet door and closed it again.

Hiding in the cabinet, we vigilantly stuck to the edge of the cabinet door, quietly listening to every move outside the door. At this time, Yaolong said, "Why do you want to leave her outside alone, isn't it very dangerous?" ”

He spoke in such a small voice that I had some trouble listening, but I barely understood what he meant, and whispered, "Don't you understand?" The woman knew the robbers, and if she was out there she could excuse herself in many ways, for example, she came here to chase us. But if we're outside, it's very difficult to explain, and if you add the people you killed before, they will definitely be suspicious, and then there will inevitably be a vicious fight. ”

After listening, Yaolong understood my intentions, he nodded knowingly, and said, "You want that girl to hide outside alone and break those people apart......"

Before he could finish speaking, I took his words and said, "Yes, but more than that, and I want to see if the woman has the intention of harming us; In such a situation, if she intends to harm us, she will take the opportunity to tell the robbers who are coming to tell us about the fact that we are hiding here......"

As I was talking, I heard the sound of someone talking outside the cabinet door, and I hurriedly stopped talking and listened patiently. "What are you doing here?" A man with a strong accent outside the house said. Judging by the voice, it may be the bearded man I met in the mountains and forests before.

"The two men I brought just now ran away, and I chased them out," the woman said...... By this moment, my heart was in my throat, lest she tell the robbers where we were hiding.

But who knows, I heard a "pop", a loud slap came, and then the woman "Ah~" screamed and fell to the ground.

At this time, I suddenly felt Yaolong's body tightening next to me, as if he wanted to push the door out to help the woman. Seeing this, I hurriedly grabbed him and whispered a word: "Bear!" ”

"Waste, I can't look at the two of them, what if they run out and leak the news?!" The man scolded.

At this time, the woman responded softly: "They have only been running for a long time, you have to chase it now......"

"Which way did you go?!"

"They ran towards the back of the village......," said the woman, who felt no fear in her words, as if she had become accustomed to it.

As soon as she finished speaking, she heard the sound of footsteps outside the cabinet door again, and when the sound faded away, until I felt that they had left the room, I slowly pushed the door open a crack and looked out.

In the dim moonlight, I saw the woman lying on her side alone, her already tattered garments covered with dust. She looked out of the house, and when she saw that there was no one left, she slowly got up from the ground, rubbed her somewhat red and swollen cheeks, and whispered to us in the cabinet door, "They're gone, come out quickly......

After hearing this, I cautiously pushed open the cabinet door, looked around, and made sure that no one was there before I walked out of the cabinet with Yaolong. When I came to her, I leaned over and helped her up, and said, "Are you okay?" ”

She shook her head and said, "It's okay, I've been used to it for a long time." ”

"Now can you tell us what's going on in this village? Why were people in the village slaughtered? I asked.

When the woman heard this, she pulled out three chairs from the dark corner and sat me down with Yaolong, while she herself sat across from us, and said, "This village used to be composed of a group of Miao people who lived in seclusion in the mountains, but I don't know the purpose of their seclusion, it is said that it is to avoid the enemy. Although everyone refines Gu and controls Gu all day long, they have never had the intention of harming others. The hidden mountain village, which had always been peaceful, for some reason, attracted a catastrophe of death......"

As she spoke, there was a hint of tears in her eyes, but I couldn't feel the slightest sadness in her expression, perhaps because of the relationship that was not obvious in the moonlight.

She continued: "Since this gang of robbers came to the village, everyone has fled to their deaths, and soon there are not many people left in the village, and those robbers have occupied the village, probably trying to use it as a base to grow their power. So, they thought of using our Miao family's Gu technique. ”

"At first, they captured several people who could use Gu magic, but because they didn't want to obey them, they were all brutally killed. And I was timid since I was a child, and I was afraid of being persecuted by them, so I was forced to agree to their requests and help them do these hurtful things. ”

After saying that, the woman fell silent and slowly lowered her head. But for some reason, the moment I looked at her and bowed her head slightly, I felt that something was wrong, I don't know if it was my delusion or something else.

At the same time, Yaolong, who was sitting next to me, suddenly became alert, he held Qing Ling with one hand, and stared sideways at the door, as if sensing something approaching.

"What, are they back?" I asked Yaolong.

As soon as the words fell, I saw Yao Long get up violently, turn around and kick away the chair he was sitting on. At that moment, I saw that some insect limbs had grown on the chair, and they were slowly crawling towards us.

Seeing this, I hurriedly looked at the stool I was sitting on, and then I saw that the stool under my ass also had some insect limbs, which were slowly attacking my body.

"You actually ......" I hurriedly got up, kicked the stool away from Yaolong's movements, and pointed to the woman in front of me who was still sitting in front of us and said, "After all, I guessed it, you really want to harm us......"

The woman remained motionless, her head bowed, but from her body came bursts of old and strange laughter, which constantly echoed in the empty room, and could not help but make people stand upside down.
