……

In the realm of the night, at eleven o'clock in the evening, the moon disappeared in the last corner.

The dim twilight slowly lowered down, the heavens and the earth seemed to be stitched together, there were crows perched on cold branches, under the stiff body, there were pools of crimson viscous liquid, on the square of Fengqing Village, hundreds of people gathered here, but except for a few sporadic cries, people were as silent as death.

The wind of the hunt blew the tattered white cloth, and on the clearing, the villagers spontaneously held torches, and the village chief, Li Fengfeng, sat on the ground with a sad face, and under the white cloth, lay his dead son.

"Grandpa, that little bastard Xu Mu should be hiding for fear of death, when I find him, I will definitely break his body into pieces and avenge my father!"

Beside Li Toyota, there was a young man of about twenty, who was supported by two companions and stood up, his eyes were red, and he had obviously just cried.

His name is Li Ancheng, and he is the grandson of the village head, Li Toyota.

His father had just been killed by a stranger.

As for the reason, it starts with Li Ancheng being sent to the city to study four years ago.

The place where he studied was the largest business in the world, the school run by the gold and silver firm, and all the studies and studies were extremely professional, and it was a place to cultivate people with extraordinary abilities.

However, he skipped classes all day, went to restaurants, listened to music, squandered all his tuition, and was almost expelled from school.

For his unsuccessful grandson, Li Fengtian is also a little helpless, so he can only turn a blind eye.

Awakening abilities can't be forced, so he doesn't ask for Li Ancheng, he is rich and noble, and it's good to be safe.

And this money is not in vain, at least you can learn a professional knowledge, and it is also a good errand to be a night watchman in the future.

But Li Toyota didn't think about it, today, his grandson suddenly brought a few classmates back to Fengqing Village.

One of them is still a supernatural who has just awakened his abilities, so Li Ancheng's father, Li Anhua, tried his best to override public opinion and entertain all the fathers and villagers to wash the dust for Li Ancheng and his classmates.

And it was this incident that caused Li Anhua to cause death.

It was already more than nine o'clock in the evening when the reception banquet ended, and it was completely dark, and in the past, people should stay at home honestly and wait for the night, but because Li Anhua drank some wine, he usually lived a miserable life, so he went around and bragged to his old friends.

When it was exactly ten o'clock, Li Anhua passed by the ancient tree, who knew that at this time, three strange ghosts crawled out of the ground of the ancient tree, and they bit this unlucky egg to death in a blink of an eye.

Li Anhua's screams resounded through the night, and most of the people in Fengqing Village heard it, so the villagers all went out to see what was happening.

It's okay not to look at it, this appearance, and several people were immediately killed by strange ghosts, and in an instant, Fengqing Village was in chaos, and only a few who were still sober immediately ran to Xu Mu's house for help.

And it was at this time that people discovered that Xu Mu was gone.

......

"There was nothing in Xu Mu's room, only these two things were found."

In front of a clearing, four villagers squeezed into the crowd carrying red lanterns and copper bells, and the latter one did not hold it steadily, and the copper bell fell to the ground with a "bang", which shook Li Ancheng's head.

"This Xu Mu, I'm afraid I didn't hear about the well-off village next door, I'm afraid that I ran away first!"

"Spineless thing!"

Li Ancheng scolded angrily, he had a holiday with Xu Mu in his early years, and the girl he liked had a crush on Xu Mu, and the most annoying thing was that Xu Mu even rejected her.

Li Ancheng was so angry that he ran to Xu Mu to fight, but he didn't expect Xu Mu to just push him, he didn't stand firmly, he hit the stone and was injured, he didn't get out of bed for half a month, and he was laughed at.

I thought that when the night came tonight, he would take advantage of the light of his classmates to find trouble with Xu Mu, the night watchman, but he didn't expect this incident to happen suddenly.

"My dad is gone, Xu Mu, I'm not done with you!"

"Shut up, you bastard, what does this have to do with Xu Mu!" , Li Toyota, who was sitting silently on the ground, couldn't help it, and scolded Li Ancheng, "Don't rely on others for everything, it's your father who is careless, besides, the incident happened suddenly, even if Xu Mu didn't leave, he couldn't save him!" ”

"Then what about later, isn't it still a dead person later!" , Li Ancheng was angry, and continued to say loudly, "If Xu Mu hadn't run, at least he could have saved one or two more people, these people were killed by him!" ”

"If I hadn't brought Brother Chen back, how much would we have lived? When it comes to the night, our Fengqing Village will be like a well-off village, and there will be no scum left after being eaten by strange ghosts! ”

Thinking of that kind of consequence, Li Feng's body stiffened, sighed, and the words he wanted to say were swallowed again.

In fact, he Sun De was right, if it weren't for the alien named Liangchen, they would have to take at least a dozen lives to get rid of those three aliens.

And Xu Mu did disappear, regardless of whether he ran away or not, but what can be confirmed is that if there is no night watchman in Fengqing Village tonight...... There is no doubt about the end, they will be slaughtered by strange ghosts, just like the well-off village!

"I think Ande is right, although Xu Mu usually acts as a night watchman, he has a withdrawn personality and has no friends in the village." , A young man in his twenties frowned, "Such a person will inevitably drop the chain at a critical moment, maybe he will have left us and run away by himself at this moment!" ”

"Hey, yes, I saw Xiao Xuzi in the afternoon, he was dressed very strangely, his clothes were bulging, as if he was going to go far away!"

"Aunt Sun also remembered when she said this, this afternoon, I did see Xu Mu out of the village, could it be that he had already run away at that time?"

"Xu Mu, I have long thought he ......"

was provoked, and the villagers of Fengqing Village began to discuss, and the wall fell down and everyone pushed it.

Li Ancheng saw that everyone was scolding Xu Mu, and his sad mood was relieved a little, and his heart was secretly refreshed.

A few years ago, his grandfather asked him to learn more from Xu Mu, and always compared him with Xu Mu, but now it's good, he returned to his hometown in fine clothes, and Xu Mu has become a sinner scolded by the villagers!

People's words are getting more and more difficult to hear, even whoever has a chicken next door is stolen can rely on Xu Mu, and Zhao Dayong's face is blue for a while and red for a while.

Others may not know, but how could he not know Xu Mu's character, that is the person who saved his life!

"Impossible, it's impossible for Brother Xu to escape!"

"He has been keeping watch for our Fengqing Village for three years, you think about it, in the past three years, several people have died in our village because of the night, and last night the well-off village was gone, and we only died two!"

"That's it, Brother Xiao Xu works hard and never pays attention to anything about us, you are worried about Brother Xu's kindness, why are you still talking about him behind your back, are you still human!"

Zhao Dayong glared and roared angrily.

"Zhao Dayong, don't think I don't know, you are Xu Mu's only friend, and he also saved your life, so you naturally help him speak!" , Li Ancheng was smiling happily in his heart, and when he heard someone singing against him, he was naturally unhappy.

"I admit that Xu Mu has indeed done a lot for Fengqing Village, but this is also what he should do, he leads the imperial court!"

"And don't forget, when he wasn't a night watchman, he never took a bite of our meat when he came back from hunting!"

Hearing this, Zhao Dayong clenched his fists, his eyes were as wide as a cow, and his neck was red with anger:

"What do you mean that you haven't shared a bite of our meat, that prey was beaten by Brother Xu himself, why should you eat it, do you deserve to eat it!"

"Li Ancheng, I also think you're a little too much, we're talking about tonight's treacherous night, other things shouldn't be on Xu Mu's body, and whether he escaped or not, this matter hasn't been found out yet!"

In the crowd, a woman dressed in student clothes and dressed plainly also retorted.

Her name is Wu Peihuan, and she liked Xu Mu when she was studying in a private school.

At that time, they were all still students, memorizing the Four Books and Five Classics, and learning the theoretical knowledge of survival in the wild.

And one day, Wu Peihuan occasionally slipped away, but saw a young man of the same age at the door of the school, bare-chested and dragging the corpse of a tiger past.

After that, Wu Peihuan knew that the young man was Xu Mu, and what shocked her was that it was said that Wu Kui, the hunter in the village, personally admitted that this tiger was set by Xu Mu and killed in hand-to-hand combat!

How could a hunter who dared to fight tigers head-to-hand when he was a teenager run away for fear of strange spirits after three years of vigil for the village? She would never believe it!

"Peihuan, why are you still helping this to speak, what kind of ecstasy did he pour on you!"

Li Ancheng's expression was absurd, he smiled angrily, it's time like this, the woman he likes is still talking to his rival?

"If it weren't for the classmates I invited today, Brother Liangchen would have helped, we might have all been eaten by strange ghosts by now, Xu Mu Xu Mu, when the strange ghosts ate people just now, where was the Xu Mu you were thinking about!"

Li Ancheng was emotional, pointing at Wu Peihuan's face is roaring, and Liangchen on the side frowned.

Liangchen looked at Wu Peihuan's sweet face with his peripheral vision, then moved his gaze downward, and paid a little attention to the slightly raised peak, and then unconsciously licked his lips with his tongue, and sneered in his heart:

"Even you like to wear rings?"

Liangchen smiled on the surface, he had been staring at Wu Peihuan for a while, but he didn't expect this little girl to be on the road at all.

Li Ancheng is not worried, the existence of this guy is completely used to foil his bravery.

The purpose of returning to this poor country with him was also to get closer to Wu Peihuan, but now he suddenly discovered that there were other men in Wu Peihuan's heart?

"Is that traitor's name Xu Mu? He couldn't run away. Liangchen made a decent appearance and said to everyone righteously, "When I find him, I will definitely ......."

"What will happen?"

At this moment, a deep and familiar male voice rang out from the back of the crowd.

After Li Ancheng heard this voice, his movements stiffened suddenly.

Liangchen's words were interrupted, and he raised his eyebrows, and looked back with a subtle expression.

The dense crowd, like a tidal wave, lined up to the sides, gave way to the middle aisle.

"I'm Xu Mu."

In the darkness, a wounded teenager walked over, he squinted and looked at Liangchen:

"You, what's the matter?"
