Chapter 100: Underground Lore

The two little girls are small and cute, but standing next to the old well, the immature children's voices echo on the edge of the well, which makes people feel indescribably strange. The three of us immediately stopped and hid in place. They clapped their hands and sang songs.

"There's a youkai in this well." The little girl in red said crisply: "I can eat people." ”

"Don't be afraid of her, let's stay here and don't call her out." The little girl in white also said something. I listened to it, and they should still speak river beach dialect.

After a while, the big black cat with a flower tail came out of the darkness silently, and two little girls ran over and hugged the big black cat with a smile, followed by a figure reflected in the moonlight.

"Sure enough, he's here again." I looked at it, the last time I was in Sangyuan Village, as soon as the two little daughters appeared, the ugly-faced man also appeared, and this time it was still the case, the big black cat had just been picked up by the two little girls, and the ugly-faced man slowly dragged the heavy ash pole and appeared in sight.

"Hahaha" The two little girls were very close to the ugly man, and when they saw him, they ran over with a smile. Except for the agility and lightness of the ugly face when he moves with people, he usually acts like a marionette, moving slowly and stiffly. He reached out and touched the braids of the two little girls' horns, and handed them a handful of neatly sharpened wooden sticks.

The two little girls ran back to the well, stuck the little sticks one by one beside the edge of the well, and then took the red rope and knotted it on it, just like the rope that the country children usually play games with, the red rope was as dense as a spider's web, covering the mouth of the well.

The ugly-faced man dragged the stick slowly, we were still some distance from him, but this man always gave people a cold and desolate feeling, feeling that he was like a piece of ice, a stone, unapproachable. This feeling can be stressful, and I subconsciously hold my breath, afraid that any wind and grass will alarm him.

The ugly-faced man dragged an ash rod in one hand and a shovel in the other, walking eastward from the old well, and in that direction, it seemed that he was going to Hu's house. I'm a little unsure in my heart, I don't know what he wants to do, the last time in Sangyuan Village, he was obviously looking for trouble with the Lu family, this time he wants to find the Hu family?

He walked far away, we dared to move our steps, slowly followed, the ugly-faced man walked about a mile or so, here happened to be in the middle of the village and the Hu family's courtyard, there was no one in the middle of the night. The ugly-faced man began to dig down with his shovel, and he dug slowly, but when he went down with a shovel, it was a pit.

"He? What is this trying to do? Xiao Jiuhong asked close to my ear.

I didn't speak, but it suddenly dawned on me that he was going to dig into the tunnel from here. What is the origin of this person? He is not from the Seven Gates, and he has a grudge against the side doors, and he wants to dig a tunnel from here at this moment, obviously going to the woman at the bottom of the old well.

Who will he be?

This was the third time I'd seen the Ugly Man, the first two times in a flash, but this time, I became intrigued about his identity and origin. But I can't make a difference between friend and foe, and I can't just run over and ask.

The ugly-faced man kept digging, digging a hole obliquely, and after a long time, he got out of the hole, threw out a shovel, and then took the ash pole and went back in, and then, with a muffled sound, came the sound of the clod of earth falling into the hole, and it must have been the tunnel leading to the old well that had been dug through. And the ugly-faced man never came up again, indicating that he must have been walking along the tunnel towards the old well.

"What did he do? Did you go to hit the woman? As soon as Xiao Jiuhong saw the other party disappear, she immediately stood up and said, "Can he beat that woman?" ”

"I don't know." As soon as Maitreya mentioned the woman, he subconsciously touched a few wrapped wounds on his belly.

The last time we were all in the tunnel, we were all cleaned up by the woman, and when I escaped from the tunnel, I swore that I would never go down again. However, as soon as the ugly-faced man got into the tunnel, my heart began to itch again, and I really wanted to go over to see it, hesitating and contradictory. Maitreya was also itchy and uncomfortable.

"Don't you think so?" Maitreya thought for a moment and said, "That man doesn't seem to be going to do anything to us?" ”

"I've been thinking about it for a long time." At that time, in Lao Huailin, this ugly-faced man smashed the yin and yang sedan chair with a stick, but he was actually doing us a favor.

"So what are you waiting for?" Maitreya puffed up his belly and slowly drilled into the hole.

The tunnel was silent, and when you got inside, you could only hear the soft sound of the ugly-faced man's ash rod rubbing against the ground. One mile on the ground, one and a half miles in the tunnel, we walked with fear. Gradually, getting closer and closer to the old well, the footsteps of the ugly man sounded rhythmically, and when he came to the corner, he paused slightly, but without much hesitation, he turned around the corner.

On the other side of the corner, there is a relatively large space, which may have been specially ordered by the old lady of the Hu family to be expanded, so that the woman could be a little more comfortable here. When the ugly-faced man walked here, he slowly put down the lamp in his hand. The woman was nowhere to be found, not knowing where to hide. I'm a little worried that the ugly face will be plotted.

But the ugly man didn't stop, and after putting down the lamp, he still walked slowly forward, and when he reached the middle of the space, he suddenly raised his hand and poked the ash pole in his hand upwards.

Giggles

A crisp laugh suddenly sounded, and in the dim light, the woman's shadow and the sound of the iron chain hula came out of the top of her head, and the ugly face was full of blood and strength, and smashed a piece of soil above her head with a stick. The crumbs fluttered, and the woman tumbled down from it like a hanged ghost, tiptoeing back, and standing in front of the ugly-faced man. How old is this woman? No one could say clearly, but she had a beautiful face, a smile like a flower, looked at the ugly face with great interest, and said, "Who are you?" Knowing that the girl is lonely here, you want to come and accompany me? ”

This voice, this smile, is enough to make people's hearts ripple, but before she finished her words, the ugly-faced man has already swept over with a stick. A strong wind suddenly shook in the narrow space, and the ash pole was incomparably powerful, and the posture was obviously intended to beat the woman to death with a stick. The space was not large, the stick was long, and the blow was violent, but the woman raised her hand and grabbed the stick, her face changed, and her body couldn't help shaking. The ability of the ugly-faced man is definitely not comparable to that of Maitreya and the old blind man, and the woman is actually very difficult to catch this blow.

"Who the hell are you!" The woman knew that the ugly-faced man was not here to play around, and she was decisive and sharp, so she immediately put away her smile and said with a heavy face: "It's the rescuer of the Hu family again?" ”

The ugly-faced man didn't speak, he pulled his hand and wanted to take the stick back, but the woman's strength was also quite large, and after a short stalemate, the ugly-faced man exerted another force, and the woman still didn't let go, but got up and pounced on this force. The stick in the ugly man's hand is too long, and he can't use it when he gets close, but his skills are definitely first-class, and he reacts very quickly, and he raises his hand and smashes it into a woman.

Bang bang bang

The whole space was full of the sound of hands and feet colliding together, the ugly-faced man clenched his fist in one hand and held an ash pole in the other, able to attack and defend, the woman's advantage was suddenly invisible, and her expression suddenly became very sad, sticking to the ugly-faced man.

The ugly man is not only good at skills, but also has a lot of experience in dealing with the enemy, and in the short time he has been fighting, he has become completely familiar with the situation here. The woman's movements are flexible, her shots are fast and ruthless, and her only shortcoming is the god-patterned steel chain under her feet.

call

The ugly-faced man forced the woman back a little with a punch, raised his hand against the ground and shook the ash pole, hooked the iron chain, and turned around with his backhand, his body swished several times, and the iron chain was also wrapped around the ash pole a few times, the ugly-faced man suddenly pulled the ash pole, the woman was imprisoned by the chain, her feet were unstable, and she stumbled, and then she was forced to stalemate with the ugly-faced man. The ugly-faced man didn't stop for a moment, and at once he stuck the ash pole between the two large stone piers. The woman's range of motion was suddenly reduced a lot, and the ash pole with the thickness of her arm was the hardest wood, and it was difficult to break it.

In this way, the ugly-faced man immediately gained the upper hand, and the woman was entangled in chains and couldn't get out, and the figure flickered, and she was punched twice. The ugly-faced man's two fists were like hammers hitting his body, and the tip of the woman's nose suddenly began to ooze blood.

"Wait!" The woman suddenly stared at the ugly-faced man, raised her hand to wipe the blood off her nose, and her expression became very complicated, like an accident, and like annoyance: "You! You're from the west!? ”

As soon as I said this, my heart was pounding, what the hell is going on? Originally, I thought that the woman at the head of the old well was from the west, so the red lady asked the Lu family to come here to take a look, but the woman's words immediately made me wonder.

The ugly-faced man, from the west?

"Why kill me!" The woman couldn't calm down anymore, because she could feel the murderous aura on the ugly-faced person, and she was already vaguely aware in her heart that if she continued to fight like this, she would become more and more passive, and sooner or later she would be killed by the ugly-faced person.

The ugly-faced man remained silent, and his blows were fiercer than the next. The woman barely fought for a while, maybe she was also anxious, and suddenly she exerted her strength, and the arm-thick ash pole was broken violently, and the chain on the stick was loosened, and the woman turned around and ran to the opposite side, and the aisle on the opposite side narrowed again, leaving only one person to widen, leading straight to the old well. The ugly-faced man chased after the aisle change, and suddenly stopped.

The woman wanted to flee to the old well, but after running a short distance down the narrow passageway, a cat meowed from the old well, followed by a shadow that seemed to glow red, and slowly pressed down from the mouth of the well.
