"Ah Leng, what you saw last night, jumping around in the village branch, is it the same person just now?" Miss Bai asked nervously in a low voice.

"I don't know." I shook my head, gritted my teeth, and said, "Let's go to the house." ”

When the villagers ran away, the ground was littered with shovels and sticks. Miss Bai also said that there would be no accident with so many people patrolling the night, but as a result, these people even threw away their 'weapons' when they encountered a situation.

I took out the Seven Star Sword and handed it to Miss Bai, I took a stick for myself, and the two of them climbed over the low wall to the courtyard. There are a lot of empty houses in Gaojia Village, and there is no one living in this house in front of them, the grass is waist-high, and the dense branches and leaves of several old trees are clustered together, covering the entire yard, which is even more desolate and gloomy.

There was a wooden ladder on the wall, which was rotten and about to fall apart, and it squeaked when you stepped on it. Carefully stepping on the ladder to the roof, there was no one in sight.

The roof of this kind of mud house is wet and sticky when it is rained, and people step on it and sink straight down, leaving a deep footprint with every step they take. With a sense of it, I cautiously came to the place where the man had been standing, crouched down and looked closely, and I saw many messy, shallow marks. Those imprints were scattered and messy, and they were definitely not human footprints. Could it be that the person just now, no, that thing just now was the water ghost who scared Gao Xiaowen to death last night? Are these the footprints of a water ghost? … As for whether or not it was the thing I saw jumping around last night, I'm not sure.

I stood up, looked around, and muttered that the house was too low. Suddenly, my neck was touched by a branch, I was startled, looked back at the trunk of the tree at a high place, patted it lightly on the leg and said to Miss Bai, Yuxin, you wait here, I climbed to the top of the tree to take a look, see if I can find out where that thing is.

I pushed aside the branches that stretched to the roof, shone a flashlight, and aimed at a thick branch and was about to jump up, but Miss Bai stopped me.

"Stupid guy, don't jump, follow me."

Miss Bai pulled me to a place on the roof with a wide view and no trees to obstruct me, pointed to the distance and said, the mountain behind the village is much higher than the trees, why do you have to climb the trees?

"yes." I patted my forehead.

"You're just stupid."

I 'hehe' and laughed. Now that the thing had been in this village all along, Miss Bai and I didn't feel scared, but were very excited. If this thing is the water ghost that scared Gao Xiaowen to death, then it must have some kind of relationship with the thing that kidnapped Yang Shujun. As long as you catch it, you may be able to know where Yang Shujun was taken captive.

I was scolded by those villagers before, and I have been holding my breath in my heart, and I am worried that there is no place to spill it.

"Let's go, go up the hill, whatever it is, I'm going to find it and kill it!"

I took Miss Bai's hand and was about to leave.

"Hey, hero, even if you want to go up the mountain, you have to go down the room first, you pull me like this, how can the two of you go down and jump?"

"Huh?" I was stunned, looked down, and said with a 'hehe' smile, "I forgot to be on the roof." ”

Coming down from the house, the two of us walked very fast, and in a short time we were out of the village. Bypassing the ancestral tomb of the Gao family, I went all the way up along a path stepped out by a villager on the side of the mountain, and it didn't take long to come to the halfway up the mountain.

Looking down, Gaojia Village is in full view, in the dark, the houses look like black urns, and the reeds in front of the village are like a large mature wheat field.

"Look, there's a light there." Miss Bai pointed to a place in the village.

I looked over, and sure enough, there was a light coming out of a house, flickering on and off, like a ghost fire.

"Strange, who is this family, why don't they sleep so late... Oh, I remember, it's the village chief, who is mending the boat for us! ”

"Yes, that's right." Miss Bai said, "But, Ah Leng, it's so dark in the village, you can't see anything here, how are you going to find that thing?" ”

"Mountain people have their own tricks."

I smiled slightly, took out a four-sided rune from my arms, and unfolded it, only to see that there were muddy marks on the back of the rune paper. Earlier, when I was on the roof of that house, I put this talisman on the place where the thing had landed, and printed its 'footprints' on the talisman paper, because I was facing away from Miss Bai at the time, so she didn't see it. At that time, when we went to Taihang Mountain to look for Yang Shujun's uncle Yang Niansheng, because Yang Niansheng had been exiled for too long, and there was no way to start without his birthday, we could only go to the place where Yang Niansheng was exiled to find a 'similar image' that could be used for divination. Now, we don't know what it is, and we can't figure out where it went, but it left footprints on the roof, and these 'footprints' are like 'elephants'.

I took the rune paper in my right hand and shook it so quickly that it became straight and facing us.

Then, with my left hand, I slowly pinched the finger of the sword, and the fingertip was directly in the center of the rune paper. I turned my right wrist, first so that the back of the rune paper was facing the reeds in front of Gaojia Village, took a deep breath, and silently recited the Quartet Divine Mantra. Seeing that there was no change in the rune paper, I turned my wrist to adjust the angle, and the back of the rune paper was facing the houses in the village. From the front of the village to the middle of the village, and then to the end of the village, when the back of the rune paper is facing a certain place at the end of the village, all of a sudden, the rune paper seems to become transparent, and the 'footprints' that were originally printed on the back slowly appear on the front! …

"This is it!"

I put the talisman paper away, stretched out my hand and pointed to the village, and it turned out to be the place we had seen before, the place where the lights were lit in the village! Could it be that this thing went to the village chief?! …

"Let's go, hurry up and take a look!"

Miss Bai and I ran all the way back to the village, and finally came to the house, and the two of us were panting and lightening our steps. I looked up at the roof and saw nothing. The door was open, the lights were still on, and there was no movement in the room.

I had already thrown those previous bold words out of the clouds, took out two lonely runes, and held them in my hands with Miss Bai. The two of them held their breath and walked lightly towards the house...

As soon as we arrived at the door of the house, a sudden explosion of thunder sounded in the house, startling the two of us. I raised my hand, and was about to smash the talisman in the direction of the thunder, when an old man suddenly stood up from behind the scrap pile, and all three of them shouted at the same time.

This old man is the village chief, and he sneezed at the thunder we heard earlier.

"Scared me to death, why didn't you two sleep and ran back?" The old man asked, patting his chest.

After seeing that it was the village chief, I let out a sigh of relief, and first looked around the house, and then told the old man what had happened to us and the reason why we had come.

"You mean, that thing came to me?" The old man asked in horror.

"Looks like I don't know where I'm running now." I sighed, "Uncle, this kind of talisman is very powerful, I'll lend it to you for self-defense." ”

I threw the lonely rune in my hand to the old man, and pulled Miss Bai out of the house.

"Ah Leng, what should I do?" Miss Bai asked.

I shook my head and smiled wryly, "What can I do?" Keep looking, this thing looks like it's playing hide and seek with us..."

Suddenly, a drop of rain fell from above, and just landed on Miss Bai's head, and it was actually frozen there.

"Don't move."

After saying that, I reached out and brushed the raindrops in my palm. As soon as the raindrops were in their hands, they immediately melted, and it was very uncomfortable. When I was about to shake off the rain in my hand, I suddenly felt that something was wrong, and after the rain absorbed the temperature of my palm, it turned out to be sticky. I hurriedly shone a flashlight, only to see a lot of mud in my palms.

Miss Bai and I stared at each other wide-eyed, then raised our heads at the same time to look up. Under the flashlight, I saw a person standing motionless on the tree trunk above!

"Who?!"

I flew up and kicked on the tree, and as the tree shook violently, the rain 'crackled' and fell like hail. The yard was misty with moisture. The first kick was followed by another kick. The man jumped down from the tree and landed about two or three meters away from us.

I didn't care about wiping the rain off my face, took the seven-star sword from Miss Bai's hand, and pulled her behind me. I gripped the seven-star sword tightly, raised my flashlight and shone it at the man, and when I saw the man's face, I screamed and almost didn't jump.

This man is so terrifying, the kind of horror that words can't describe. The evil demon I saw in Yang Shujun's village at the beginning, although his whole body was rotten and swollen, he still looked a little human, and this person in front of him didn't even look like a human being.

This 'man' was dressed in a big garment, with a hat on his head, and a big hole in his face, and a nest of mud-like things in the hole. There seems to be something in the 'mud' that is squirming all the time...

Could this be a water ghost? Judging by the clothes of this 'man', it should be the thing I saw jumping around last night.

The village chief ran out of the house when he heard the movement, and when he saw the appearance of this 'person', he was also frightened and stayed there.

I stared at the 'person' in front of me, I didn't even dare to blink my eyes, and goosebumps came from my body one after another. For a long time, I stood like this with the 'man', it didn't move, I didn't dare to move, my lonely rune was given to the old man, and I didn't dare to reach into my pocket.

Suddenly, something jumped out of the grass nest in the courtyard and rushed towards the 'person', and it turned out to be the fox we had rescued earlier! As the fox howled and bit the sleeve of the 'man', the 'man' jumped up, but the fox pulled the sleeve and couldn't jump up at all. Then there was a dog barking, and Blackie jumped out of the place where the fox had jumped out and bit the other sleeve of the 'man'.

A dog and a fox bit the sleeves of the 'man' and pulled them to both sides, and with a 'whoosh' sound, the 'man''s clothes were pulled apart.

Under the flashlight, I saw that the skin of this 'person' was hanging there piece by piece like a piece of paper, exposing the tendons and blood vessels inside. If you look closely, those are originally pieces of paper, and those so-called 'muscles and veins' are circles of reeds. It finally dawned on me that this was a paper figure made of reeds! …
