The flames burst into flames, and in a short time spread over the corpse.

Seeing this, Chen Papi struggled to his feet, and immediately limped towards the direction of the village, apparently preparing to continue dragging the corpse and burning it.

Seeing Chen Papi with his back to me, it was a good opportunity to make a move.

In a flash of lightning, I rolled down from the corpse, and then stepped forward quickly, holding the Evil Breaking Sword against Chen Papi's neck.

Seeing that Chen Papi was controlled by me, I just wanted to ask, when Chen Papi suddenly became difficult, his head slammed backwards, and the back of his head hit the bridge of my nose with a bang.

For a moment, my nose was sour, and tears came out of my eyes.

Before I could stagger back, Chen Papi raised his right hand and passed through my elbow joint, hooking it outward and clasping my wrist.

For a moment, I only felt that my arm was sore, and I couldn't exert any strength, and the Evil Breaking Sword in my hand also fell towards the ground.

Chen Papi's left hand reached out to catch the evil spirit, and then he turned around and pressed the sharp blade against my neck.

It only took a second or two to switch from defense to attack, and I was already controlled by Chen Papi almost without reacting, so Chen Papi definitely has kung fu and is a master!

"I'm afraid it's not so easy to bully me, a cripple!"

As soon as Chen Papi's voice fell on his arm, he was about to exert force, but under the cold moon of Qinghui, he saw my appearance clearly, and he was instantly stunned on the spot, and his eyes were full of shock: "Chen Mo? How could it be you kid, you really didn't die! ”

"Since you are not dead, why should I die, what happened in Chenjia Village, did you kill these villagers!" I looked at Chen Papi with a blank look and asked.

"No wonder you kid attacked me from behind, it turns out that you think I am the murderer of the village."

As he spoke, Chen Peel slowly took off the evil spirit that was against my neck, and then handed it back to me.

"I, Chen, have been in Chenjia Village for twenty or thirty years, if I really have the intention to kill people, why wait so long, and how can I kill so many villagers with my cripple, you look down on me too much." Chen Papi said with a sneer.

Before, I really didn't believe that Chen Papi had this ability, but just now he grabbed the knife with his backhand and was extremely ruthless, and at first glance, he was a Lian Jiazi, as long as he was given a killing tool at his disposal, it was not impossible to quietly slaughter the villagers of the entire village.

Thinking of this, I put the evil crossbar on my chest and asked, "Don't divert the topic from me, I'll ask you if the murderer is you!" ”

"If it's really me, do you think you're still alive now, the murderer is someone else." As he spoke, Chen Papi looked at the Hengshui River not far behind me, and it seemed that he meant that the murderer came from the Hengshui River, which was consistent with the clues I had received earlier, and Chen Papi did not have a motive or reason for killing.

After some thought, I decided to believe Chen Papi's words, although he did not have a good relationship with the villagers in Chenjia Village over the years, and his temper was rather eccentric, he had never done anything evil, so his words should be worth believing.

After making up my mind, I put away the evil spirit, looked at Chen Papi and said with guilt: "Uncle Chen, I was a little emotional just now so I did something excessive, don't take it to heart, but what happened in Chenjia Village, how did these villagers die, do you know the hidden story, and since the villagers are dead, why did you survive, can you explain it to me." ”

Chen did not respond immediately, glanced at the burning corpse and limped to the stone on the side.

After sitting down, he took a dry tobacco pouch from his waist, took a few puffs and coughed lightly, and then told me what had happened.

This evening, Chen Papi was sitting in the courtyard and was tying paper figures, when he suddenly heard the sound of gongs and drums beating from the village, and the sound was hurried, as if something big had happened.

Chen Papi put down the paper in his hand and walked to the courtyard gate to open the wooden door, only to see that the villagers were all running in one direction.

Chen Papi was puzzled and followed the villagers to find out, and finally came to the door of the Hou family, at this time the gate of the Hou family was open, hundreds of villagers gathered in front of the door, and there were bursts of cursing and shouting in the courtyard.

Chen Papi followed the sound and squeezed into the crowd, and when he looked closely, he found that a naked man was kneeling in the courtyard of the Hou family, and this person was Chen Zhongfa, whom we met on the side of the road earlier.

There was a disheveled woman in front of the stone mill next to Chen Zhongfa, the woman's head was full of blood, and one side of the stone mill was also stained with blood.

At this time, the monkey's mother had already lost his breath, and the whole person was lying on the ground and lying in a pool of blood, while the village chief was whipping Chen Zhongfa with a water-soaked leather whip.

While smoking, he scolded, and Chen Zhongfa let out bursts of screams from his mouth.

"You rabbit cub who has lost his conscience, he squatted on the fence two years ago and didn't learn well, and now he even forced the monkey to death, you are really a beast, you are really angry with me!"

The village chief's face was pale, his forehead was bruised, and he continued to whip hard while scolding, and the sound of snapping was endless.

"The monkey mother has long been a widow, she must be hungry and thirsty all these years, I am sending her warmth, if the monkey was alive before, I would have gotten along with her, and besides, she didn't kill her, she hit the stone grinder herself, what does this have to do with me!" Chen Zhongfa gasped and kept quibbling.

"You still don't fucking admit your mistake, if you don't tear the monkey's fucking clothes and insult her, can she kill herself by hitting a stone, don't think that if you are a member of the Chen clan, I can protect you, this time you are too guilty, I will definitely send you to the official and let you eat in prison for the rest of your life!" The village chief shouted angrily.

Hearing this, Chen Zhongfa was completely panicked, he had already squatted on the fence before, so he naturally knew the situation inside, if he really let him squat for the rest of his life, it would be better to let him die happily.

Then he turned around and knelt down in front of the village chief, begging the village chief not to report to the official, but how could the village chief stand idly by in the face of the loss of a living human life.

Just as the village chief was about to say no, there was a sudden noisy sound outside the courtyard, and the sound was like a flood beast.

Hearing the sound, the villagers gathered in front of the Hou family all turned their heads to look behind them, but the scene in front of them made them stunned.

The livestock of the family rushed towards the east of the village like crazy, and among these livestock, in addition to large livestock such as cattle, sheep, pigs, etc., there were chickens, ducks, geese and dogs.

When the villagers saw this strange scene, they didn't care about Chen Zhongfa anymore, and followed the fleeing beasts and ran towards the east of the village, and Chen Papi also limped behind the villagers.

Ten minutes later, everyone came to the wasteland in the east of the village, but the scene in front of them made them dumbfounded.

Thousands of beasts of different sizes stood by the Hengshui River, staring at the river surface one by one, and the original noisy sound suddenly disappeared in an instant, and the scene was dead silent.

It was an eerie scene, with thousands of animals looking at the river and hundreds of villagers behind them.

Under the moonlight, the villagers exchanged ears, but none of them dared to step forward.

Just when there were different opinions, bubbles suddenly surged upwards in the originally calm Hengshui River, as if the water was boiling, the fish and shrimp in the water all jumped up, and the livestock standing on the shore saw the water surface as if boiling the pot and then all knelt on the ground, and there was a terrible roar in the mouth.

Seeing the strange situation, Chen Papi knew that there must be a problem, so he hurriedly ran towards the outside of the village while the villagers had not left.

As soon as he walked a hundred meters, he heard an exclamation behind him, and when he turned his head to look, the villagers didn't know what they saw, and they all ran in the direction of the village.

Seeing that the villagers were shocked, he didn't dare to stop, so he dragged his lame leg forward quickly, and he didn't stop until he came to the location of Mantou Mountain, and at this time Chenjia Village in the night was gone.

He didn't dare to go back to the village, so he had to hide in the dense forest under Mantou Mountain, until an hour later, under the cold moon, Chenjia Village appeared in front of him again, and at this time the village was already a dead silence, Mo said that he couldn't see a human figure, and there was not even any sound.

Chen Papi came to the outside of the village with courage, and before he entered the village, he smelled a strong smell of blood.

He followed the smell of blood into the village, and found that all the villagers were dead at this moment, almost all of them in their own yards.

It seemed that they thought they would be safe when they returned home, but they were unexpectedly rushed in and slaughtered by the murderer.

After inspecting the entire village, there was no longer a living mouth in the village, and Chen Papi knew that there were yellow skins in the nearby mountains, and he was worried that the yellow skins would go down the mountain to eat the corpses of the villagers, so he dragged all the corpses to the wasteland and burned them.

After listening to Chen Papi, I suddenly realized, but there are still a few questions that I don't understand.

The first is what the villagers saw by the river, and the second is who the murderer is and why they killed the villagers of Chenjia Village.

The third question is why these animals bow down to the things in the river, and why the fish and shrimp in the river rush out of the water.

I told Chen Papi of the doubts in my heart, and after hearing this, he took a puff of dry tobacco pouch, shook his head helplessly, and said: "I have escaped a hundred meters away when the thing in the river came out, so I don't know what it is, as for the murderer, it should be something that came out of the Hengshui River, as for the beast you said kneeling down, I think it should prove that this murderer is not simple from the side, otherwise how could these beasts who do not understand human nature be so respectful to him." ”

There is some truth in Chen's words, but there is one more thing that makes me doubtful.

When he was at Chen Papi's house, he said that I would go to his house to buy a coffin soon, and said that the two coffins in the courtyard were left for me, and now that my parents are dead, it is just two people, could it be that he already knew that this would happen.

He's just a paper-tier, how could he know so much, is there anything else he's hiding from me?

Thinking of this, I looked at Chen Papi and asked: "Uncle Chen, you should be honest with me now, you are not an ordinary person, otherwise you would not have said that the two coffins were left for me, because you already knew that my parents would die, and if you were an ordinary person, it would be impossible for you to notice that something was wrong when the beast knelt down, who are you, and whether the slaughter of the village has anything to do with you!" ”

Seeing that my face was solemn, Chen Papi opened his mouth to spit out the thick smoke, and then said in a deep voice: "Since you have been aware, then I will not hide it from you, I have long known that Chenjia Village is located in the Coffin Mountain Broken Yang Bureau, and the reason why I have not left and stayed here is precisely because I am waiting for a heavy treasure to appear!" ”
