"Shh

Shangguan Li put his finger to his lips and stopped Xitu's urge to scold the street.

"I'll go up and have a look."

As she spoke, she tapped her stool and flew onto the beam.

The beams were narrow, but there were several intertwined ones, barely building a flat field, and there was dead grass everywhere, but ...... There was less dust than expected.

She lifted the dead grass, and then there was a moment of frustration.

There was not one, but three, neat skulls, with deep-set eye sockets, like six dark holes, two of which had eyes facing the doorway, and only the middle one, facing the table directly below.

It was also the culprit who scared Situ half to death.

Shangguan Li searched on the beams for a while, but didn't find any useful information, so he jumped down.

"How?"

Situ didn't dare to speak loudly, this sentence seemed to be dumb in his throat.

"Are you afraid of that?"

Shangguan Li glanced at her and said incomprehensibly.

"Aren't they just human bones, and you don't have them in you?"

"It depends on where it is!"

Situ moved a little away from that position, stood in the corner, and pouted when he heard the words.

"If I see it in the cemetery, I won't be afraid."

Shangguan Li silently questioned this sentence. After thinking about it, she said.

"There are three human skulls on it, and at a cursory glance, it should be a family of three, dead for some years, but there are traces of recent turnover."

"Shhh...... Did someone put it there on purpose? What a strange custom this is! ”

Situ gasped.

Shangguan Li waved his hand and didn't say anything.

The three skulls had been turned over, but judging by the dust on the top and the rot of the dead grass underneath, they should have been there for a long time.

Although it is a little strange, it may be the unique folklore of this place, and the mountain is the easiest to produce a unified folk system, so there is no need to make a fuss.

She said these words to Xitu, and the latter, with his blind trust in Shangguan Li, really put his heart back in his stomach temporarily.

"Let's rest first, don't turn off the lights for a long time, and then it will attract the prying eyes of the villagers."

Shangguan Li drove Xitu to bed and blew out the candle.

Situ, probably because of the physical labor and constant fright of the day, fell asleep as soon as his head was connected to the pillow.

Looking at her like this, Shangguan Li showed a smile in the dark, worthy of being a little ghost who had never suffered a loss. I can really sleep at this time.

Just now she picked out good things to say to Situ, and there were some things that she didn't say.

When Shangguan Li first entered the village, he felt that the air here was not quite right, it was obviously an open place in the river valley, but there was a faint sweetness in it.

Because the taste was so weak, she couldn't tell what it was at first time. It wasn't until she was talking to that Chen Sheng that she suddenly remembered that she was in the legend she got from the Green Fox Gang.

The people of Anning always get sick for no reason, and there is no cure for a long time.

Although there is a high probability that this is not Anning Town, it appears on the map related to Anning Town, which is likely to have something to do with it.

That's why she blurted out that she was a doctor.

Chen Sheng's reaction also confirmed her guess, and the elder, the timing was too accurate.

In the dark, Shangguan Li's expression was very calm, only a little firefly burned brightly under his eyes, and the world called this kind of look eager.

In the second half of the night, Shangguan Li woke Xitu from his sleep.

She seemed to have a nightmare, her body was covered in a layer of cold sweat, and her eyes were foggy when she first woke up.

"Wake up."

Shangguan Li's cold fingers went around the back of Xitu's neck and gently pressed one place.

"Shhh

Xitu suddenly perked up, and his brain, which was still a mess of paste just now, seemed to have been washed by clean water, and he was indescribably refreshed.

Before she could appreciate the magic of this hand, her eyes widened in surprise.

The lantern that had been lit outside the door for the night had been extinguished at this moment, and through the faint light of the sky, a milky white mist could be seen squeezing through the windows and cracks in the door.

Soon it occupied a small half of the grass hut.

Because of the experience of the last firewood gathering meeting, Situ is now almost allergic to this fog. If she hadn't been pressed by Shangguan Li, she would have jumped directly onto the beam.

"What's, what is this?"

Shangguan Li showed a smile in the darkness and said slowly.

"Tickets."

"Huh?"

Shangguan Li didn't explain much, took out the pill that had been prepared a long time ago from his sleeve, handed one to Xitu, and said quickly.

"Eat."

Situ didn't hesitate at all, took it and swallowed it immediately.

"What do we do now?"

"Sleep."

"Okay, sleep...... What? ”

Situ was stunned.

Shangguan Li slipped to the edge of the bed and sat down against the edge of the bed, his voice calm.

"Don't worry, there will be something to do tomorrow."

As she spoke, she closed her eyes, and she stayed awake for half the night, falling asleep very quickly at the moment, and after a few moments, her breathing became smooth and even.

Situ stared wide-eyed in the darkness for a moment, and finally fell back into bed in confusion. But she was wrapped in an unknown mist, and this time she couldn't sleep anyway.

Shangguan Li woke up until dawn, opened his eyes, and saw Xitu's somewhat haggard face.

"What, stole chickens last night?"

Situ was about to kneel for her.

She was frightened for a long time, for fear that when a bad person would come out, what she got was this kind of speculation!

Shangguan Li stretched and stood up and said with a smile.

"It doesn't seem so."

After saying that, she pushed open the door and walked out, fetched some water from the well in the yard, and washed her face casually.

This action made Xitu feel chills all over his body, this is winter, just came up from the well, isn't she afraid of the cold?

In fact, although Shangguan Li has experience in dealing with extreme environments, it does not mean that she is not afraid of the cold, after this pass, her face is nothing, but her hands are already so cold that they are about to freeze.

She said leisurely.

"The guests are coming, how can you do it without freshening up?"

Situ felt that this sentence was full of slots, and just when she was struggling where to start complaining, at the end of the misty path, suddenly there was a figure.

Shangguan Li leaned against the wall of the thatched hut and raised his hand slightly, and Xitu immediately shut up.

In the early morning of the mountain, if you take a casual breath, you will see the ice ballast blown by the wind for thousands of years, and it is surprisingly cold.

But the person who came was wearing only a single coat, with short hair that seemed to have been fried, and sunken eye sockets, which looked very oppressive.

It's Chen Sheng.

Behind him was a middle-aged woman with an impatient face.

Far away, Chen Sheng said loudly.

"There's something I'd like to discuss with the girl."
