After walking about thirty or fifty meters, I finally heard something unusual.

The sound came from a courtyard not far from me, and it was a very sharp grinding sound, sneering, as if someone was smashing wood with a file.

At this point, who will still do carpentry work in their yard?

I pulled Liu Shangang and pointed to the courtyard where the sound was made, and Liu Shanang nodded at me.

I remember before I came out, Liu Shangang said that the sound lasted for ten minutes, and the sound never stopped since he rubbed himself hot, and we walked for such a long time?

At this time, Liu Shangang came to my side, almost close to my ear, and said: "From half an hour ago to now, the volume and frequency of the sound have not changed, and I estimate that this sound may be from the machine." ”

I didn't express an opinion and let Liu Shangang continue to walk.

Because we were worried that there were people in the yard, we didn't dare to climb over the wall to enter the courtyard, and the courtyard gate of this family was very blocked, and there was not even a single gap, and it was impossible to peek inside.

We had to make a big circle to the back of the house, climb up the roof, hide in the shadow of the chimney, and quietly observe the situation in the courtyard.

The walls of the courtyard were so high that the moonlight could not shine in, and I could only vaguely see a figure in the corner of the courtyard, and the sound was coming from him.

Liu Shangang stared at him for a while, and then scratched his head a little frizzy, I couldn't understand what Liu Shangang meant by doing this.

Squeak –

At this moment, someone opened the door of the house, and a dim light shone out of the room, and fell right on the figure in the corner of the courtyard.

I saw clearly that it was a middle-aged man, with deep wrinkles on his face, but his body looked very strong, and he was holding a thick log, constantly using a rod to break off the old skin on the surface of the wood, his eyes were dull and hollow, and he was repeating the same movements mechanically, like a clockwork puppet.

Out of the room came a man in a robe, with a hat on his head, whose face we could not see clearly, and we could only make out the appearance of a slightly chubby man.

The man came to the man who broke the wood, broke a steamed bun, stuffed it into the mouth of the person who broke the wood, and took another cup of hot water and poured it into his mouth.

After this, the man entered the house, and the courtyard fell into darkness again. I heard a woman's cry coming from inside the room, but soon the sound was gone.

I couldn't help frowning and glanced at Liu Shangang, who also had a frowning expression at this time, he gave me a look, pointed to the road behind the house, and made a lip gesture at the same time: "Withdraw!" ”

After that, Liu Shangang led the others down to the roof first. Because my body is too heavy, it is easy to make a sound when I land, Liu Shangang and Liang Houzai followed me below, but the snow was slippery, and when Liu Shangang caught me, because he couldn't bear my weight, he slipped and fell to the ground with one foot, making a loud noise.

I looked nervously at him, and he quickly got up and pressed himself against the wall, waving at us and signaling us to do the same.

Sure enough, after everyone had pressed their bodies against the wall, the lights came on in the room behind us.

The light shone through the window on the snow in front of us, and we could clearly see a figure in front of the window, who should be looking out of the window now.

Liu Shangang stared at the shadow on the ground, and took out a black thing from his backpack and fiddled with it a few times, it was too dark, and I couldn't see what he was holding in his hand until I threw it in the snow, I could vaguely see it clearly, it seemed to be a model or specimen of some kind of canine animal.

At this moment, the specimen actually moved, and it walked leisurely in front of the window, and as it walked, the soles of its feet made contact with the snow, and made a "creaking" sound. In my eyes, it is a large dog wandering through the snow, both in its movements and in its footsteps.

The people in the room probably thought that the sound was made by the "dog", so they turned off the lights, and the footsteps gradually moved away from us.

It wasn't until he was sure that he was far enough away from us that Liu Shangang got up from the ground, carefully explored the way, and took us away from the place, and when he passed by the mouth of the alley, he also picked up the "dog" on the ground.

Since it was possible to be discovered just now, Liang Houzai suggested that he should not return the same way, and it was best to find a more secluded place to avoid it first.

Liu Shangang led us to a poplar forest directly north of the village, and he had done a survey in advance, and he could confirm that there were no secret posts buried by the Church.

After going deeper into the forest, I looked at the village again, and in the distance I could see the bright street lamp at the east end of the village, and faintly, I could see a faint layer of black gas floating above the street lamp.

But at night, the whole village is black, so it is extremely unrealistic.

Just as I was pondering, I heard Luo Tai ask Liu Shangang, "What is it in your hand?" ”

"Shepherd dog model." Liu Shangang said as he fiddled with the model twice, and I saw that the "dog" in his hand was instantly deflated, and then he put it in his backpack.

Luo Tai seemed to be full of curiosity about that thing, and asked Liu Shangang again: "What did it do just now?" ”

"The principle is very similar to that of a wire-controlled puppet. ”

Xian'er also said beside her: "That bag on your back is really a treasure chest, even this kind of thing." ”

"Hehe, I have more than a hundred treasures here," Liu Shangang said proudly: "Here, there are things you can't think of." ”

When he was done, he turned his face to me and said, "I have investigated the people in the village before, and the person who broke the wooden bark in the courtyard just now should be Wang Dahai. My informant told me that their family is more special, in the early years, Wang Dahai's father was a god in the village, and he was killed when he broke the four olds, and it is said that Wang Dahai will also have some of the spells handed down by their ancestors. ”

I said, "Do you remember that at lunch today, we mentioned to you that when Dianzi Village first started to make trouble, there were three brothers in the village who were recruited, right?" ”

Liu Shangang nodded: "Remember, it's just that two of them died, and the one who is alive is still being coerced into posting on the Internet." ”

I nodded and said, "Those three brothers are all Wang Dahai's own sons. By the way, who is the person who fed Wang Dahai steamed buns just now, can you identify him? ”

Liu Shangang thought for a while and shook his head: "I can't see my face clearly, I can't make it out." However, it can be determined that the man is not Wang Dahai's son, and according to the informant, Wang Dahai's three sons are all thin. Moreover, Wang Dahai divorced his wife five years ago, and there should be no woman in the family, but did you hear the cry of two women in his family just now. ”

Two women? I only heard one person crying.

I heard Liang Houzai also say on the side: "Are there two people crying?" Why do I only hear about one person? Liu Shangang, why do I think that your hearing is much stronger than all of us, I didn't find you with this kind of specialty before. ”

Liu Shangang smiled "hehe", scratched the back of his head and said: "Huang Changrong gave me a pair of prescriptions for washing my ears and eyes a while ago, I grabbed a few medicines according to the prescription, and did the eye and ear protection exercises he gave me every day. ”

"Eyes and ears?" I was surprised and said: "Isn't this Huang Changrong's housekeeping kung fu, why is it still spreading?" ”

Liu Shangang said: "I heard Grandpa Chai say that last time you helped the Huang family so much, in fact, it was not in vain. Grandpa Chai made an agreement with Mrs. Huang before going to the Northeast, and he helped the Huang family find the Jinding monk, and the Huang family gave him a set of family kung fu. It seems that what the Huang family gave this time is this recipe for smelting eyes and ears, but Grandpa Chai said that this kind of recipe is to forcibly stimulate the potential of the human body, and you cultivators will damage the Tao if you use it, so you passed it on to me. ”

Listening to his words, it seemed that he was ashamed to say how much he had gained, but when he spoke, it was obviously in a conspicuous tone.

To tell the truth, Liu Shangang is right, this kind of kung fu that strengthens the senses is really not suitable for people like us to practice, but who doesn't want to have a good pair of eyes and ears?

I didn't want to continue the discussion on this matter, so I changed the subject: "Let's get down to business." You also heard the woman's cry just now, don't you think that crying...... Weird? ”

At this time, Luo Fei said: "It's really weird, that crying seems to be crying for the sake of crying, without any emotion." ”

Liang Houzai also nodded in agreement: "Brother Dao, do you remember when we dealt with Huang Daxian in Zhujia Village, Henan, the crying and mourning sound that came from the mourning hall of the old lady of the Zhu family at that time was similar to the kind of cry I heard just now. ”

When he said that, I thought the two cries sounded similar.

Liu Shangang opened his mouth and said: "No, two cries, one of them is really emotionless, but the other one sounds cold, that voice is not very sad, but it gives people a very bleak feeling." ”

Hearing Liu Shangang's words, I couldn't help but sigh. If it weren't for the covert action, we would have to go into that house for everything, but now, in order to prevent the funeral cultists from discovering us, we can only discuss the cries of the two women here.

Come to think of it, this kind of thing is ridiculous, but it's also a helpless thing for us.

After pondering for a while, I said, "It is possible that the two women of Wang Dahai's family were held hostage, so we have to find a way to go in and have a look." ”

Liang Houzai shook his head on the side: "It's not right now, if we rush into Wang Dahai's house, we will definitely expose our whereabouts." Brother Dao, I think it's best for us to thoroughly understand the forces of the Burial Sect ambush in Dianzi Village before making other plans. ”

After speaking, he added: "Brother Dao, at such a critical time, there are some things you can't be too soft-hearted. ”

Damn, this thing is talking about my woman's kindness!

However, I didn't have the same knowledge as him, so I just asked Liu Shangang to find another way and take me to the street lamp to have a look.

The light of the street lamp was very bright, and it was very easy for everyone to act together to be exposed, and we weighed it up, and in the end only Zhou Tai walked with us.

The reason why he took Zhou Tai was because the people of the burial sect should not know him.
