The dim moonlight hung in the sky, and it seemed faint ahead.

The small village is small, with a dozen low houses close to each other in a ring.

Around the house, sharpened wooden thorns pierced the ground, and beyond, a row of tall wooden stakes enveloped the whole village.

The only entrance to the village, the mud in front of me is soft.

Sang Jiaojiao kicked away a small piece of dirt with her toes, and the bottom was hollow.

Then, not as bright as the moonlight, you could see the sharp wooden thorns underneath.

With such strict protection, are they really guarding against anything?

Sang Jiaojiao carefully avoided the trap at the entrance of the village and slowly walked into the small village.

Listen intently, and in all the houses, you can feel several rapid breathing sounds.

They're all awake.

Sang Jiaojiao randomly chose the first one on the left, approached and knocked on the door.

Without him, it is only because this house is stronger and more spacious than others.

"Knock knock..."After three knocks on the door, no one in the room responded.

The breaths behind the door were noticeably heavier, and they were clearly hearing.

"Anyone?" Sang Jiaojiao asked softly.

Hearing the human voice, there was obvious movement inside.

After a while, the door was discreetly opened with a small crack.

Revealing a cloudy eye, the old voice whispered in a suppressed voice: "Are you human?" ”

Sang Jiaojiao's smile froze: there is always an illusion of being scolded.

She faced the crack in the door and said softly, "Of course I'm human." ”

The old man behind the door quickly looked at Sang Jiaojiao, and then the crack in the door opened a little, and quickly pulled the person in.

Soon the door was sealed tightly.

How strict is it?

Sang Jiaojiao saw with her own eyes that the old man pressed the door with a heavy doorpost, and inserted four door ties from top to bottom.

Then, the curtains on both sides of the door were closed.

When everything is done, light an oil lamp.

In the dim light, I carefully checked all the doors and windows in the house again.

The cracks in the windows are all covered tightly by black curtains, and there is absolutely no light to shine out.

The strange behavior of the old man all said that this village was unusually strange.

"Girl, you're from the Holy City."

Sang Jiaojiao casually replied.

The old man is like looking at his own ignorant juniors, "Except for those who come out of the holy city, who dares to wander outside in the dark, it's not that they won't die." ”

Sang Jiaojiao had an idea, and her mind was full of thoughts, and she instantly made up a freshly baked life story for herself.

"I don't remember anything."

"I woke up near a high mountain peak and walked for a long time to get here."

Sang Jiaojiao's tears condensed in her eyelashes, she couldn't fall, and she was very pitiful.

The old man's heart was not hard, and then he softened, and sighed secretly in his heart: What a handsome girl, it's a pity.

He whispered: "The mountain you are talking about should be the East Mountain Ridge. ”

"There's the Evil Beast Ridge, and the evil beasts inside will eat people."

The old man's surprised eyes lingered on Sang Jiaojiao for a while, as if he was looking at a lucky doll, "You are a lucky one." ”

Sang Jiaojiao squinted and listened to the old man continue: "Fortunately, you walked to our village before dark, and you will ..... later."

The old man shook his head, a little fear on his face, and suppressed his voice, "Those monsters are so powerful, a little sound and light can attract their attention." ”

Sang Jiaojiao also bit her ears, "The monster you are talking about is..."

Old man: "I forgot you don't remember anything." ”

He said lovingly: "Everyone says that the holy city is good, if it is really good, you little girl will not be reduced to this point." ”

I don't know what the old man made up by herself, and she didn't need Sang Jiaojiao to speak, she was automatically given a nonsense excuse to complete the information.

It's perfect.

Sang Jiaojiao is dazed and ignorant, and the old man who thinks a lot is there.

"We don't know where the monster came from.

"I knew they would wander in the dark."

With that, the old man took Sang Jiaojiao to the room on the far right.

On the kang that is not long, everyone in this house is crowded one after another.

Hearing the familiar footsteps of the old man, the gray-haired old lady happily wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes.

The others were also very happy, and they didn't dare to make a sound, so they could only gesture with their hands a few times, cover their mouths and curl the corners of their mouths.

There was a knock at the door just now, and it really scared everyone enough.

Who knows what is knocking on the door.

Don't dare to let the other party continue to knock, otherwise the sound will definitely provoke more strange things.

The youngest son of the family, Liang Fubao, wanted to open the door, but was stopped by Old Man Liang.

According to Old Man Liang's words: he is the oldest, and his legs and feet are not as good as those of young people.

If there is really some kind of monster outside the door, it is better for him to die than for the young man of the family to die.

Sister-in-law Liang, who was huddled in the innermost part of the kang with the child in her arms, greeted her in a low voice, "Sister, come to me, it's the warmest here." ”

Brother Liang next to him immediately got up and made a place for Sang Jiaojiao, "It's very cold here at night, and the kang is hot during the day, so everyone is squeezing on it together." ”

"Girl, don't dislike it."

Sang Jiaojiao shook her head with a smile, "Don't dislike it." ”

The little cub in Liang's sister-in-law's arms stretched out a little head and stared at Sang Jiaojiao for a while.

Suddenly, a sentence popped out of his mouth, "Good-looking, beautiful aunt...."

Sang Jiaojiao nodded the little cub's fat little face, "Little naughty, discerning." ”

The little baby stretched out her hand and wanted to stick it on Sang Jiaojiao's face, which frightened her and shrank back.

The funny sister-in-law Liang pursed her lips and smiled, shook the little cub twice, and warned softly, "Settle down." ”

Liang Fubao's face was the same as a monkey's ass, and his eyes didn't dare to drift in the direction of Sang Jiaojiao, "You....don't worry...."

"You guys have a good night's rest, my eldest brother and I are guarding you, don't be afraid..."

Before Liang Fubao's words were finished, a roar broke the relaxed atmosphere in the room.

Everyone was silent, frozen in place, staring in fear and fear.

Only the little baby innocently looked left and right, not knowing what was going on.

"Grandma..."

Sister-in-law Liang covered the little baby's mouth tightly, tears silently crossed her cheeks, shook her head and moved her lips slightly: Don't speak.

Brother Liang and Liang Fubao clenched their fists, and the two of them tacitly blocked the others behind them.

The two of them faced the door, their eyes fixed on the movement at the door.

A trap set up at the entrance of the village temporarily intercepted those things outside.

Because the house of the two families is the closest to the entrance of the village, the sound outside can be heard most clearly.

Heavy and chaotic footsteps, the wails of those things falling into traps, pierced by spikes.

Something climbed up the wooden pillars on the periphery ....
