As Qi Xiucai said, tomorrow is only November 30th, but some of the threats seem to have come to tonight in advance.

By the time it was getting dark, the whole village was deserted even more than it had been when it had come. Standing outside Qi Xiucai's courtyard, I could see that the doors of each household were closed, and even Qi Xiucai repeatedly told me and Li Yu to stay in the house, and he stayed in the house early.

Li Yu and I both saw a trace of helplessness in each other's eyes, and planned to take advantage of our free time tonight to inquire about the strange things that happened in the village, but we had never encountered this kind of thing, so we could only hastily return to our own residences.

As Qi Xiucai said, the house was very tidy. I was half-leaning on the bed, and the drowsiness came on like a raging tide. Half-covered with a quilt, I stared at the dim yellow light on the roof and fell asleep unconsciously.

………

When I woke up the next day, I looked at the time, and it was already more than eight o'clock in the morning. I didn't expect to sleep for so long, I rolled over my body, and suddenly felt a sore in my neck, and I forgot to put my pillow last night. There was a person standing straight outside the window, none other than Li Yu.

To my surprise, as soon as I opened the door, I saw Li Yu holding a towel, as well as a toothpaste and toothbrush. When I was stunned, he handed it to me and said indifferently: "This is what Qi Xiucai asked me to give you." You now have ten minutes to wash, and when you're done, come to the main house", he said, and without waiting for me to speak, Li Yu walked straight into the distance.

After everything was done, as Li Yu said before, I walked straight to Qi Xiucai's main house. I saw that in addition to Li Yu and Qi Xiucai, there was a man sitting in the main room, this person looked about the same age as me, but much stronger than me, with dark skin, his face looked very tight, there was a fierce anger between his eyebrows, and the muscles on his two flat arms bulged suddenly.

Qi Xiucai smiled and waved his hand to me, his eyes motioned for me to sit down, and then said with a smile: "Go to the back mountain, after all, you are not very familiar." Yesterday I also said that I want to find you a helper", halfway through the words, Qi Xiu paused, then swept his gaze to the man, and continued: "This young man's name is Gong Hui, and he is the only remaining young man in our village, and he does the hunting in the village every day, and he rarely comes back empty-handed."

Hello! Gong Hui glanced at me and Li Yu, then stood up and whispered, which could be regarded as a greeting, and his gaze stayed unnaturally elsewhere. After that, Qi Xiucai left Gong Hui alone and explained some necessary matters to Gong Hui, we agreed to wait for tonight, and start leaving early tomorrow morning.

We had nothing to do, and began to walk along the stockade. Unexpectedly, the village was much more lively than yesterday. And these extra people are all busy, and Gong Hui, who came over at some point, explained in a rough voice: "They are preparing some precautionary measures, tonight is the legendary Halloween Festival in the village, you had better not go out, otherwise something will really happen."

The water is rushing, and the flowers bloom and fall.

From three or four o'clock in the afternoon, the residents in the village closed their doors one after another. By this time, it was getting dark. Li Yu and I were surprised to find that it was going to be darker on this day than yesterday, and we had a faint feeling in our hearts that something bad was about to happen.

At this time, a figure suddenly appeared on the road ahead, this person happened to know, the only young man in the village - Gong Hui. I saw that Gong Hui had an extra longbow on his body, and several daggers were wrapped around his waist.

It seemed that he was surprised that we were here, Gong Hui frowned, couldn't help but look at us, and said in a rough voice: "Didn't you ask you not to come out?" Why do you want to walk around".

I was about to speak, Li Yu hurriedly stopped me, and then took his hand to his waist, and then I heard a sound of "boom", and a fist-sized clay pot more than 50 meters away from us was shattered in an instant, Li Yu withdrew and grabbed it, and whispered to me: "Sometimes actions are more useful than words."

Gong Hui's performance just confirmed what Li Yu said. Gong Hui, who woke up, suddenly showed a trace of admiration for Li Yu in his eyes, and his voice became gentle invisibly, "It seems that I underestimated you." To tell you from the bottom of my heart, although the people in the village are relatively conservative, including me, of course, I have never believed in the legendary ghost. Just last time, I accidentally saw a dark shadow wandering back and forth in the stockade, and out of no preparation, I did not rush to catch up. This time, I must find out the hidden "ghosts" and restore peace to the village."

This Gong Hui's idea coincides with ours! Li Yu and I exchanged glances, and then I showed Gong Hui what I meant, and Gong Hui seemed very happy to join us. In the end, the three of them discussed, Gong Hui pretended to pass out, but it was actually a bait, and Li Yu and I hid on the side, waiting for an opportunity to ambush.

Along the intersection, we finally found a corner. There, there was no shelter in front of the forest, the left and right sides were barren, and the only relatively hidden front, the grass, was occupied by me and Li Yu. Just when Li Yugang and I were about to faintly flash, we saw that the moon in the sky was suddenly covered by a dark cloud, and above our black heads, I don't know when there was an extra firebird with huge wings, and the wind unexpectedly became bigger, making the firebird in the air continue to spread its wings, creating a scene of soaring and flying. Gong Hui's face suddenly became solemn, and he said lightly: "It's coming", as he spoke, he waved his hand to me, and he was half-lying on the ground, pretending to be a drunk.

Hiding in the grass, we watched the movement ahead with our eyes wide open, afraid to leave any detail behind. By the time half an hour had passed, nothing had progressed. I couldn't help but start to get a little restless, could it be that the invisible "ghost" smelled me and Li Yu's scent and didn't show up?

Hush! Li Yu hurriedly made a silent gesture to me, and his eyes looked straight ahead, only to see that the "ghost" we had been waiting for for a long time finally appeared. A long black shadow began to lift up from the ground in front of him, and then he saw a man dressed in black slowly walking out of the corner, and the ground was kicked with a bang.

Seeing this scene, Li Yu hurriedly touched his hand towards the pistol on his waist, and I signaled if I wanted to wait, it was dark now, and the distance was not very close. Li Yu hurriedly waved his hand, "Don't you still believe in my marksmanship?" ”。

Seeing that the man in black was about to approach Gong Hui, Li Yu suddenly flashed out, lifted his pistol and shot at the man in black. The man in black seemed to have received special training, and in this short period of time, he turned sideways, and the bullet in the chest of the man in black suddenly grazed the arm of the man in black, and Li Yu, who wanted to shoot, suddenly scolded, "It's stuck again", threw the pistol on the ground, and ran towards the man in black.

Gong Hui, who woke up in shock, suddenly got up from the ground, and a thick hand suddenly pulled on the right arm of the man in black, which happened to be the part where he was injured. The man in black screamed in pain, then lifted his big foot and kicked at Gong Hui. Gong Hui, who had been on guard, suddenly dodged to the side, and the two began to seesaw.

Maybe it was to see us running, the struggling man in black put his hand in his arms, only to see a round mirror suddenly appear in his hand, and then the man in black picked up the mirror and looked at Gong Hui's face, I don't know what was going on, a strong light suddenly shot out of the mirror, Gong Hui retracted his hand suddenly, and hit the mirror to the side, the man in black looked at us who caught up, and then looked at the mirror that fell to the ground, and then ran into the distance, the speed was so fast, so that Li Yu and I couldn't help but be dumbfounded. "Let him run anyway, damn it!" Li Yu had a hint of anger on his face, and kicked his foot on the ground, and the dust splashed suddenly overflowed onto the mirror.

The Night Man seemed to care about this mirror, and what could be placed on him was not so simple. Thinking of this, I bent down to pick it up, and I couldn't help but feel a little curious about the sudden bright light just now. I saw that the mirror was thicker and older than the usual mirror, and there was nothing obvious about it.

I flipped the mirror, and Li Yu, who was standing next to me, suddenly shouted: "Xiao Ke, turn to the angle just now, hurry up!" Li Yu's words seemed very anxious, seeing that I couldn't react for a long time, he snatched it from my hand at once, put his hands on his chest with the mirror, and began to turn slowly, just when the face of the mirror was at a 45-degree angle to the parallel ground, the accident happened!

I froze in place, looking at this scene in amazement, it was incredible. (To be continued.) )
