Before the child's words fell, the door of one of the huts opened, and out came a middle-aged couple, both of whom looked like honest countrymen, dressed in coarse linen, and the woman saw Chen Xiaomo and Li Yanhui and said enthusiastically: "Ouch, where did this brother and this girl come from?"

Li Yanhui glanced at Chen Xiaomo, and then said, "We were originally going back to our hometown to visit relatives, but we didn't expect to get lost halfway down the road, and we walked and walked here." ”

"Coming to our village of contemplation, you are like coming to your own home, if you don't dislike it, you can eat and live at our house tonight!" the man opened his mouth, vividly reflecting the hospitality of the countrymen.

Chen Xiaomo felt his heart beat faster when he heard the words "Village of Thoughts", he glanced at Li Yanhui, and Li Yanhui nodded. Then, Chen Xiaomo said to the man: "Big brother, I want to ask, why are you called the Village of Si here?"

The man looked at the woman, then scratched his head, and said, "The four words of this village of thoughts are handed down from our ancestors, and our village has a history of hundreds of years, so I can't remember what it means for a long time." ”

At the moment when the four of them were talking, other families in the village also opened the doors one after another, walked out, and gathered Chen Xiaomo and Li Yanhui. Most of them had smiles on their faces, but Li Yanhui was vaguely aware that their eyes were empty and blank, and she didn't know if they were born like this, or if there was some other reason.

"Oh, if that's the case, then we can't bother. Li Yanhui grabbed Chen Xiaomo's sleeve and said, "We still have something to do, so let's leave first." ”

The man hurriedly said: "Girl, walk slowly, there are many fierce beasts in the maze forest ahead, and it is already unitary time, I am afraid it is not safe for the two of them to walk in the maze forest, it is better to rest at my house for one night, and I will personally send you out of here from the trail tomorrow morning." The man said that, and the other villagers chimed in, letting the two stay.

Without waiting for Li Yanhui to speak, Chen Xiaomo preemptively said: "Okay, let's stay here for one night now, you are tired from running around for days, your body can't bear it!"

Li Yanhui originally wanted to refuse, but seeing that the villagers were so enthusiastic and Chen Xiaomo cared about her body, she reluctantly agreed to stay.

"You're a couple, aren't you?" the woman smirked.

"No!" Chen Xiaomo and Li Yanhui said in unison.

"Then we have only one room in the house, do you want to live together?" said the woman again.

"Don't!" Chen Xiaomo and Li Yanhui said together. The crowd erupted in laughter.

The woman smiled and said, "Your answer is so tacit, and you still say that it is not a couple?"

Chen Xiaomo glanced at Li Yanhui awkwardly, but Li Yanhui turned her head to the other side arrogantly, but even so, the two of them couldn't live separately, after all, this was the village of Si, an environment they were completely unfamiliar with.

So, Chen Xiaomo rolled his eyes and said with a smile: "The eldest sister really has good eyesight, the two of us are childhood sweethearts, and we have already agreed with each other for life." With that, Chen Xiaomo raised an arm and hugged Li Yanhui's fragrant shoulder.

Li Yanhui turned her head and looked at Chen Xiaomo with murderous eyes. Chen Xiaomo said in a low voice: "Black-faced woman, cooperate a little." ”

Even Chen Xiaomo didn't expect that Li Yanhui actually stretched out her arm to wrap her arms around Chen Xiaomo's waist. Just when Chen Xiaomo was proud, Li Yanhui pinched his waist hard, and Chen Xiaomo's tears were about to flow out.

"Look at your good looks, you can all stay at my house tonight!" said the woman with a wicked smile on her face.

"Then there is Big Brother and Big Sister Lao!" Chen Xiaomo thanked. His afterglow swept towards Li Yanhui and found that she was looking at him with a smile, and he couldn't help but shudder, feeling bad was about to happen. Sure enough, Li Yanhui pinched Chen Xiaomo's waist again, and this time the force was much greater than last time, and Chen Xiaomo immediately grinned in pain.

"Haha, the little couple just love to talk about it. The woman smiled, and she glanced at the man next to her, as if recalling the story that belonged to the two of them when she was young.

The man also glanced at the woman with a smile, then took her hand and said, "Okay, old woman, let's go and clean up the room for others first, I want to make love and wait for the evening." ”

The woman glanced at the squinted man, laughed and scolded, "Dead ghost!" and turned away.

"Wait!" Li Yanhui took her hand off Chen Xiaomo's waist, pointed to a bowl-sized dark red spot on the back of the man's neck, and asked, "Big brother, why is there such a big dark red spot on the back of your neck?" and ......?"

Li Yanhui glanced at everyone in the village and said solemnly, "Why do each of you have a dark red spot on the back of your neck or on your hands, which ......is a big or small spot?" Corpse spots, huh?"

If Li Yanhui didn't say it, Chen Xiaomo really didn't notice that everyone in the village, whether adults or children, had a dark red spot on the back of their neck or on their hands, which made people look extremely uncomfortable.

That spot can't really be a corpse spot in Li Yanhui's mouth, right?

Chen Xiaomo was shocked in his heart, and looked nervously at the seemingly amiable villagers in front of them, maybe in the next moment, they would have a corpse mutiny. He had already placed the Edgeworth pose in his hand, and even if he encountered danger, he could easily get out.

The man and woman looked at each other, neither of them speaking, but their expressions were momentarily glazed. At this time, Chen Xiaomo's heart was even more panicked, was it really Li Yanhui's words?

At this time, the back of the crowd suddenly became chaotic, Chen Xiaomo and Li Yanhui looked there, only to see a man in a wide black robe with five black and white chicken feathers on his head walking out of the crowd, not how old he was, but his lush beard covered his mouth and chin tightly, revealing only a pair of dead and deep small eyes.

The most noteworthy thing was the walking stick he was holding in his hand, which was a walking stick made of mahogany, thick at the top and thin at the bottom, and the tip of the cane was inlaid with a huge gem, which was black all over and exuded an extremely eerie light.

The strangely dressed man slowly walked towards Chen Xiaomo and Li Yanhui, stopped two meters away from them, and then said, "Hello, I'm Buck, the high priest of this village. His voice was vicissitudes and hoarseness, and Li Yanhui felt irritable when he heard it.

Seeing that the two of them did not react, Buck said, "This girl thinks that the spots on the people in our village are corpse spots, but it is not unreasonable, because the corpse spots are mostly born on the back of the neck and limbs, and they are dark red in color and connected together. Buck paused, then added, "But it's not a corpse spot, it's caused by our water source." ”

"Water source?" Chen Xiaomo asked suspiciously.

"Yes, our village of thoughts is the only village in the Valley of Ten Thousand Demons, the ancestors have training, all those in the village of thoughts, can not cross the river into the miasma forest before, and cannot enter the grass and trees after the forest, so we have stayed in this small forest for the rest of our lives. Buck's eyes were gloomy when he said this, and Li Yanhui's intuition told him that Buck couldn't pretend to be this kind of look anyway. (Exhibition Search Chinese Network)
