16. Fox tail
After experiencing the visual stimulation of the bamboo array, Jiang Xingmian is now very resistant to the horror picture, and she doesn't feel scared at the moment, she only feels that this ghost looks extremely disliked.
She was about to prompt Wen Chuyan when she saw Qian Yan take the initiative to float towards the liquid monster.
She lowered her eyebrows and didn't know what to say to him, and then the thing looked back at them with a cold look in her eyes, like a herd of ducks and livestock about to be slaughtered.
Jiang Xingmian felt a little uncomfortable in his heart, that thing seemed to know Meng Tianyan and was very familiar.
She couldn't help but look up to observe Wen Chuyan, and happened to meet his gaze looking down, "What's wrong?" Wen Chuyan asked.
"Sister Meng feels a little wrong." Jiang Xingmian lay in his ear and said in a very small voice.
The hot breath exhaled by the cub tickled on the ears, Wen Chuyan turned his head silently and asked, "What's wrong?"
Jiang Xingmian turned her head to look at the other side of the river, her ears were erected high, but helplessly, this river seemed to be an enchantment, cutting off all sound exploration, so she had to start from seeing is believing: "I feel that she is very familiar with that ghost." โ
"Isn't that normal?" Wen Chuyan smiled, his meaningful gaze seemed to know everything, and he didn't seem to care about anything.
Jiang Xingmian was about to ask why, when Xue Hongyan's dissatisfied voice suddenly came from the front: "What are you muttering?" "Looks like you don't play with her, huh.
"Ah, nothing." Jiang Xingmian hurriedly changed the topic: "I'm thinking, this water is really clear, I don't know if the fish in it can be eaten." โ
"You're such a foodie, you want to taste all the fish in the underworld?" Xue Hongyan rolled her eyes, and she used her mouth to nun Meng Tianyan and the liquid monster who were negotiating, "That thing, it shouldn't be a human, right?" โ
"Sister Xue, be quiet." Jiang Xingmian reminded that she was afraid that her broken mouth would cause trouble.
"Got it." Xue Hongyan's voice was a little lower. She also realized that without the space ring, she couldn't be unbridled and arrogant.
Soon, Meng Tianyan returned. She whispered a very intriguing word to Wen Chuyan: "The village chief likes to eat delicious food. โ
"What are you talking about?" The liquid monster yelled at Meng Yanyan.
Meng Qianyan hurriedly lowered her head to reveal a submissive expression, but Jiang Xingmian heard her give the final hint in a very, very small voice: "He doesn't like others to touch his belly, you must be extra careful when serving him." โ
Jiang Xingmian was confused, listening to Meng Tianyan's meaning, they were going to be brought directly to the village chief? Still want to serve him?
ยท
When walking on the path leading to the village, Jiang Xingmian pondered for a long time before he suddenly understood what Meng Tianyan wanted to express.
She was obviously reminding them that you would be the food for the village chief later, and ...... His weakness is his stomach!
However, what she couldn't figure out was why Meng Tianyan didn't say such important information until the last moment? Can't we consult with them in advance?
She racked her brains before it dawned on her.
Because, in Meng Tianyan's story, she is just an ordinary student who went to Linjia Village to clean up the souls of the dead, and she only stayed in Linjia Village for one day, so it is impossible for her to know these top-secret information.
If she had told them about the chief's weaknesses in advance, it would have aroused suspicion among them, which would have led to suspicion about her identity. Obviously, she kept it a secret in order to avoid unnecessary trouble.
Of course, there is another possibility, for example, it was the female ghost who rescued her who told her, but obviously this doesn't make sense, after all, the liquid monster is very familiar with her, and there is a deep contempt for her in her attitude, as if she is a plaything with no identity.
Jiang Xingmian quickly analyzed in his mind while looking around.
The houses in the village were low, the damp walls were covered with moss that seemed to come out of the water at the touch of a button, and you could see through the dilapidated door frames that the furniture inside was rotten, let alone ghostly, not even a little gloomy.
This village is so 'clean' that it doesn't look like a place for the souls of the dead, but rather like a long-abandoned mountain village.
It's really weird!
A strong sense of disobedience enveloped Jiang Xingmian, and just as she was about to open the Yin and Yang Eyes to explore the real situation, the liquid monster leading the way in front of her suddenly stopped, and he said coldly to Meng Tianyan: "You can just lead them in." โ
Jiang Xingmian hurriedly raised his head.
In front of him was a splendid mansion, compared to the dilapidated houses around it, it was like a phoenix in a chicken coop, and further away, there were many ghosts dressed like liquid monsters standing guard, and it could be seen from their sluggish attitude that they didn't seem to be very attentive to their work.
The liquid monster was clearly a patrolman, and after greeting his colleagues, he turned and left.
Suddenly, countless curious eyes gathered towards Meng Tianyan, and they whispered openly, like an aunt chatting in the vegetable market.
"Didn't she run away? How did you come back again? โ
"The village chief said that he would pick her skin and pull her tendons, and she dared to come back, obviously because the outside world is not good."
"Tsk, it's just right to come back, the village chief's temper has been getting worse and worse recently, and everything that should be eaten has been eaten, and it will be our turn if she doesn't come back."
"That's right, it's good to be back!"
Listening to these discussions, Jiang Xingmian felt as if there were 10,000 flying beasts roaring by.
Meng Tianyan's true identity is actually the village chief's fugitive prey? Ah no, it could be a maid or a think tank or something, in short, it could never be a student!
"Yes, you liar! You deliberately tricked us into sending us to death! Xue Hongyan had obviously come back to her senses, and she pulled out the long whip on her waist irritably, wanting to fight to the death with Meng Tianyan.
In an instant, the surrounding soldiers immediately stopped talking.
They stared at her with a pair of eyes like dead people, and their eyes were warm, dozens of times colder than Wen Chuyan. The chill uncontrollably climbed from the soles of Xue Hongya's feet all the way to the Tianling Gai.
Just when her uncontrollable teeth chattered, Meng Tianyan suddenly said, "Let's go in." โ
The pressure suddenly relaxed, and Xue Hongyan was like a drowning person fished out of the sea, panting heavily. Jiang Xingmian jumped onto Xue Hongyan's shoulder, patted her back with his paws, and whispered, "Brother Lin, how can Sister Meng be a bad person?" You must have misunderstood. โ
She desperately hinted to her with her eyes: Don't die~
A sound of Brother Lin made Xue Hongyan wake up like a dream, she pursed her lips as white as paper, and stopped talking. She once again regretted that she followed Wen Chuyan to this trip to the troubled waters, it was really extremely deadly!
ยท
After following Meng Tianyan into the mansion, Jiang Xingmian found that although the periphery was 'heavily guarded', the courtyard was deserted, and there was not even half a ghost.
Meng Tianyan took Wen Chuyan and Xue Hongyan with ease, walked through the garden and bypassed the water pavilion, and then arrived in front of the main house.
She seemed to have an unforgettable fear of this place, and when Jiang Xingmian looked up, he could see her slightly trembling fingers.
It takes a great deal of psychological quality for her to return.
At this moment, there was a terrible scream suddenly from the main house, and the surrounding flowers and trees trembled.
Meng Tianyan's breathing became heavier, and with this terrible scream, she quickly transmitted a message to Wen Chuyan:
"The village chief is a person Y, d, all the women in the village who are a little beautiful will be forcibly abducted and tortured by him for various reasons, after becoming a ghost, he will become more and more intense, and even the soul of the woman will not be spared, Miss Xue, you have to be careful."
Xue Hongyan had a cold face and didn't buy it: "You don't cry and fake mercy, you are obviously a liar, if you are really a student of Nianning Academy, then where did you hear all these private news?" โ
Meng Tianyan lowered her eyebrows: "These are all told to me by my benefactor, and she is also one of the many victims. โ
Anger made Xue Hongya's mind extremely clear: "Since your benefactor is the village chief's confiner, then it must be difficult to protect himself, how can he save you alone from the many students?" Even have time to talk to you so much? When we are fools, logic simply doesn't make sense! โ
