The wilderness of this village and town is particularly infiltrating in the middle of the night.

Ye Chen moved Lin Xiaoxiao, who was holding him tightly, to the side, and he tiptoed to the door and listened carefully to the movement outside the door.

He couldn't see what was going on outside the door, but through the door, he could still feel that something seemed to be waiting outside the door.

Waiting for him to open the door!

The strong curiosity drove Ye Chen to open the door, and Ye Chen was like a demon at the moment, subconsciously reaching out to open the door.

Syllable!

Just as his hand was about to touch the doorknob, he was slapped with a slap.

Ye Chen's whole person was violently excited, what happened to him just now? As if he had been seduced, he almost opened the door.

At this moment, he suddenly remembered the advice of the shopkeeper before leaving at night, no matter what sound he heard, don't open the door.

He turned around and saw Lin Xiaoxiao on the bed who had gotten up from the bed and stood beside him.

The unknown feeling outside the door disappeared as if nothing had happened.

"What are you doing? Wake up in the middle of the night to open the door? Lin Xiaoxiao frowned and looked at Ye Chen. You just looked like you had fallen into some evil spirit......"

Ye Chen was sweating, although it was not as serious as the evil spirit, but it was true that he was really bewitched by the unknown thing outside the door just now.

"There seems to be something outside the door...... Ye Chen said in a low voice.

"Wouldn't it? Don't scare me! As soon as Lin Xiaoxiao heard his words, goosebumps immediately appeared on her body.

"I didn't lie to you, didn't you hear anything just now? Like footsteps out of thin air......"

Lin Xiaoxiao shook her head, looking inexplicable.

"It's been quiet all night, there is no sound of footsteps, I sleep very shallowly, I must know if there is a sound."

Ye Chen thought about it, he could be found tiptoeing to bed, didn't he really hear it wrong? But what about that urge to open the door just now?

"Go to sleep, I should have heard it wrong...... Ye Chen didn't delve into it anymore, he still had to rest quickly, and he would continue to hurry up tomorrow.

Dadada——!

Ye Chen and Lin Xiaoxiao had just laid down on the bed, and three more footsteps appeared!

This time, Ye Chen was not the only one who heard it, Lin Xiaoxiao sat up from the bed and looked at Ye Chen with a frightened expression.

"There really seems to be someone outside the door!"

"Why don't you open the door and take a look?" Ye Chen frowned, He Fangxiao dared to make trouble outside the door of the two onmyoji masters, I was afraid that he would not kill himself.

"Don't! I'm scared! But Lin Xiaoxiao softened suddenly, and her whole body trembled.

He grabbed Ye Chen's arm with both hands, saying that he didn't agree to let Ye Chen open the door, his hand was too strong, and Ye Chen grinned in pain.

"The shopkeeper has said that he must not open the door! Let's just follow the local customs, and leave this ghost place as soon as possible tonight......" Lin Xiaoxiao said.

Seeing Lin Xiaoxiao's posture, Ye Chen had no choice but to give up.

When I thought of Lin Xiaoxiao's iron-blooded treatment of the demons, and then looked at Lin Xiaoxiao next to me like a frightened rabbit, the contrast was also a little bigger.

It's still a girl......

The night was extraordinarily long, and although there was no movement outside, Ye Chen also lost his sleepiness and listened carefully with his ears pricked up all night.

Fortunately, there was nothing unusual outside the door.

The next morning, Ye Chen was still looking at the ceiling in a daze, and there was a knock on the door.

A night of nervous tension made him tremble.

"Guest officer, it's okay to rest last night, breakfast is ready, see if I bring it to a few, or do you go downstairs to eat?"

Hearing the words of outsiders, it was like a big stone falling to the ground in my heart, and the difficult night was finally peaceful.

Ye Chen slapped Lin Xiaoxiao next to him with his arm, the latter was still asleep, he screamed several times in a row, and the other party didn't even open his eyelids.

"Let me sleep a little longer!" Lin Xiaoxiao said impatiently.

Seeing this, Ye Chen had no choice but to give up, "Let's go downstairs to eat in a while, don't bother." ”

Outside the door, Xiao Er heard the response inside the door, breathed a sigh of relief, and turned around and walked downstairs.

Ye Chen got dressed and walked to He Yang's door, "He Yang, get up and eat." ”

He Yang opened the door quickly, it seemed that he had been waiting for a long time, and when he saw Ye Chen's appearance, he was stunned at first, and then he smiled evilly.

"Boss worked hard last night!" He Yang said with something in his words.

Ye Chen rolled his eyes and immediately heard the overtones in his words.

"Did you hear anything last night?" Ye Chen didn't answer, and asked around the topic.

"Voice? No, I sleep and snore, and everyone knows it in the Qi Cultivation Hall, and my own cries can't wake me up, even if there are other sounds, I don't know. ”

Ye Chen didn't know whether to envy or envy for a while......

"Boss, I really envy you, if only I could go back to ten years old......" After that, he looked at Ye Chen's dark circles and obsceneness.

Obviously, He Yang thought that Ye Chen had some other indescribable experience last night to become like this, tsk, it was only one night, it was like this, if it went back and forth like this for a long time, the boss would not be an adult?

"......" Ye Chen was speechless for a while.

Sitting on the first floor of the inn, Ye Chen and He Yang were drinking bud stubble porridge and eating nest heads, while discussing the itinerary on the road today.

Hearing a sudden exclamation from the door, the two glanced at each other, and continued to lower their heads to eat in line with the principle that more things are better than less.

After a while, the shopkeeper came in from outside the door and walked in front of the two.

"Two guest officers...... There was a little bit of a situation last night. When he said this, the shopkeeper almost buried his head under the table, and he didn't even dare to look directly into the eyes of the two.

The two of them were stunned, listening to the hustle and bustle outside the door just now, and said not to meddle in things.

I didn't expect to eat melons, and melons were sent to my home.

"What's going on?" He Yang spoke, and he had a faint conjecture in his heart.

"Guest officer, there is something wrong with your horse, why don't you come out and take a look......" After the shopkeeper finished speaking, he walked to the door and waited regardless of the reaction of the two.

Although He Yang had already guessed that something had happened to the horse, he thought it was stolen at most, but he realized the seriousness of the problem after going out.

If it is stolen, it can be recovered.

But now the horses were dead of exhaustion, and the corpses were gnawed and mutilated.

"I'm sorry for the little one, the two masters!" After saying that, the shopkeeper fell to his knees and slapped himself in the mouth.

Yesterday he had received the money and promised to take care of the horses, but now both horses are dead!

If the other party asks for compensation according to the price, even if he sells it, he can't afford to pay for it.

The market price of a horse is 5 gold, and two horses are 10 gold!

And as an ordinary innkeeper, his monthly salary is only a few hundred copper, and after calculation, he can only compensate others if he works for ten years without eating or drinking.

Ye Chen didn't expect things to be like this, "What the hell is going on?" ”

"This is not the villain's doing, this is the demon's doing!"

"Demons? Could it have something to do with the fact that you didn't open the door in the middle of the night last night? You elaborate clearly! When Ye Chen heard this, he immediately linked the strangeness in the inn last night with the horses in front of him.

"If you dare to hide it again, don't blame me for pressuring you to report to the official......

When Xiao Er heard this, where did he dare to hide anything, and told all the situation in the village in one go.

From Xiao Er's mouth, the two learned the ins and outs of the matter, this small village had a disaster a year ago, the river dried up, the land was drought, and there was no rain in the northwest for half a year, and all the wheat seedlings in the fields were dried up and died, and there was no harvest.

The people are miserable and miserable.

If you can't eat yourself, you have to pay harsh taxes and miscellaneous taxes, where will the food be paid?

Many young people in the village even formed groups to search for water upstream along the river, but they never returned.

So the villagers raised money and invited a Taoist priest to pray for rain.

But who knows, the Taoist priest had just done half of the practice, and the rain did not come, but it attracted a gust of black wind, and the Taoist priest was swept away by the black wind when he arrived.

The next day, a corpse appeared at the entrance of the village, and it was the Taoist priest.

The villagers panicked, some people said that this was offended by the river god, and some people said that it was offended by the dragon king.

Rumors spread among the villagers, who were already superstitious, and the village chief was pressured to pull a whole cow to a place upstream of the river for sacrifice.

It seems ridiculous, but after the sacrifice of the oxen, the rain came, and the water from the river came.

The villagers were thrilled and cheered in the rain.

From then on, whenever there was a disaster, the villagers would bring up their animals to sacrifice.

In this way, there was no trouble, but the river god's appetite was getting bigger and bigger, and he could no longer satisfy the animals, so he turned into a black wind and came to the village.

To put it bluntly, the sacrifice from now on must be a fresh girl, and it must be a child's body!

This frightened the villagers, and for a while many people fled with their families.

But it was not so easy to leave, and soon someone died on the road, so the village chief asked the villagers to draw lots, and whoever had a bad life sent his daughter to be sacrificed.

Two years later, almost all the girls in the village were sacrificed.

Black Wind also often haunts the night, looking for a suitable target in the village, and if he finds it, he takes it away on the spot, if he doesn't find it.

Knock on the door in the middle of the night in the village, knock on whom's house, if anyone dares to open the door, it will cause death, this is the truth that the door of the village is closed, even if the knock on the door is unsuccessful, the livestock in the village will be poisoned.
