"Cultivating evil spirits?"

Li Mu was a little shocked, he didn't expect that this thing could be artificially cultivated.

By evening, smoke had risen from the village below.

A few people walked down the trail down the mountain.

In a moment, a village with scattered houses appeared in front of me, and the path in the village could be said to be very quiet, and it was all meal time, and no one came out to walk around.

"This is Zhaojiazhuang."

Yang Lao gently twisted the round wheel in his hand and spoke.

The houses here are all made of yellow mud, which looks mottled and dilapidated, and such buildings are really not good even in the countryside.

Several people looked here with some vigilance.

Crunch.

At this moment, the door of an old house at the entrance of the village was pushed open, and a white-haired old man walked out of the dim room, his goosebump-like skin was already covered with gray spots, and he squinted at Li Mu and the others.

poked his head out, and half-closed the door, hiding most of his body behind the door.

"Outlander?"

Yang Lao stepped forward, he had already put away the round wheel in his hand and hid it in the straw hat behind his back.

"Hehe, brother, we came from outside and wanted to enter the city, but we got lost in the mountains before, and we missed the hour, and we only came here when we saw someone rising here."

"You're coming to stay?"

As if he felt that he had come to life, Lao Suo's vigilance dissipated a little, opened the door, and carefully examined these people.

One, two, three, four, five, six...

The old man seemed to have some bad eyes, squinted and counted again.

One, two, three, four, five....

"Five people!"

He seems to be a little embarrassed, there are too many of these people, and he can't live in his own house.

Li Mu's eyes flickered slightly when he was counted.

After hesitating for a moment, he turned his head and said, "Wait," before entering the house and shouting.

"Old woman..."

The two discussed for a while, and then a peasant woman, also with gray hair, walked out.

With an enthusiastic face, he opened the gate and invited the five of them in.

"Come in, it's cold outside."

The face is smiling, the complexion is simple, and it makes people feel warm.

"Thank you, big sister."

Yang Lao entered with a smile, and the old woman was equally warmly received.

However, when Li Mu and the others were about to enter, the old woman suddenly closed the door, leaving only a crack in the door, and at the same time poked her head out to face a few people: "I'm sorry, it's not easy for us to receive one person from a small family, how many people should you ask the others in the village?" ”

"You...."

Bu Jinghui's face changed, and he was about to rush inside.

But through the fence on the side, Yang Lao waved his hand at a few people and said, "Since the eldest sister has said so, let's not make it difficult for others, you can ask other people if there is a place to provide accommodation." ”

Several people understood and did not continue to entangle.

Walking out of the house, Xiao Hongyue held Zeng Qingniu's hand and didn't let go, her face was a little sad.

"Shall we act separately like this, that family is obviously eccentric."

Bu Jinghui was also a little unsure, but he hesitated for a moment before speaking.

"The leader of the team this time is Yang Lao, but he has been in the Jinye Division for nearly thirty years, so he must have his own considerations."

"But let's not separate for the time being, let's go to the Zhao family's mansion first and see what we can find."

Soon, along the path in the village, several people came to the center of the village, in front of an old house.

The vermilion gate was unguarded, and at the moment under the cold wind, it looked a little depressed.

At this moment, through the crack in the door, you can still see a part of the scenery inside.

The dilapidated courtyard, the path has long been occupied by weeds and vines climbing out of the garden, and the ground is covered with a thick layer of fallen leaves.

Obviously, it's been a long time since anyone has cleaned it.

"What about the Zhao family you are talking about?"

The house had obviously been vacant for a long time, otherwise there wouldn't have been so many fallen leaves in winter.

"This is different from what was told in the mission, withdraw!"

Li Mu said with a gloomy face.

There are so many things that are wrong, so he has already had the idea of retreating.

It's not that he's timid, it's that it's not worth it at all for a halfway mission.

The faces of the rest of the people were also very ugly.

Looking at the dilapidated scene in the courtyard, Xiao Hongyue leaned over and glanced at it a few times.

"How did you say this task was written, this place, this house, this Zhao family should not be a rich man in the countryside."

"Don't say so much, let's go find Yang Lao first, and then withdraw."

In the dark, they all had a bad premonition.

Not only from this scene, but also from the mission.

Unclear.

You must know that the verification of the news by the Jinye Division is extremely strict, and there has never been so much deviation from the mission description.

"Whew-"

Just as they were discussing their evacuation, a gust of wind surged.

It's not big, but the vermilion gate is slowly opening at this moment.

Everyone looked.

See, in the courtyard.

Strips of white cloth are tied to the ruined dead trees.

Under the eaves, big red lanterns flutter in the wind.

A garden covered with weeds and vines is covered with several mats.

Also, next to the red lantern under the eaves, the white silk hangs down, and an old man in a shroud hangs above, swaying and swinging, like sitting on a swing.

Looking at it, the old man in the shroud was staring at the door with his eyes.

Li Mu pulled out the black iron knife in his hand expressionlessly, and with his eyesight, he could naturally clearly see that the corpse was completely black, only a pair of eyes full of bloodshots.

And at this moment, those eyes moved!
