"Not bad! It is said that someone in the village has seen him haunt him!"

"Do you see his face?"

"No, just a glance. He is said to be tall, strong, and agile, and he has large feet, as evidenced by his footprints. ”

"Has anyone seen those footprints?"

"Yes, there were three footprints found, each time wearing large wooden shoes. However, one night, when he was entering the manor, he actually passed through the underground passage of the manor. It was a sewer, narrow and long, enough for a small child to pass through. So far, no one knows how he got through this sewer!"

"Did he really go through the sewers?"

"That's right! Because there was a wooden shoe print left at the exit of the sewer, and besides, there were witnesses to him appearing in the manor that night, don't you think it's strange?

"So, we all privately thought that the culprit must be a man with a soft body and a flexible leg, like an eel or an earthworm. Today, the women of the village stay at night and the doors are closed, fearing that something unexpected will happen.

"In addition, everyone thinks that a series of tragedies in Xie Jiazhuang are related to him."

While listening to the old farmer's words, Lang Xiaobai recalled the man with a big hat he had glimpsed in the woods when he and Xiao Bin chased the murderer who attacked Juanzi. He also remembered that when Jiang Kai and Lu Meizhong met, a man with a big hat appeared not far from the two of them. He thought, this tall man with a big hat on his head, wooden shoes on his feet, and a body that can be stretched and retracted freely must be the monster that the dragon can't see the head and the tail!"

One day, he came to the thatched house where Granny Liu lived, and found many paintings in the cabinet and old books.

"Yes, Juanzi once said that Granny Liu's son Ah Mao has a soft spot for painting, and these things must come from his hands."

Lang Xiaobai muttered to himself as he stared at the three willow trees, the stones, the pigeon house, the two hats, and a pistol on the picture, and he thought to himself:

Judging from these paintings, Mao must have known that the man with the big hat was the one who instructed Mao to remove the three willow trees. In order to keep this secret and keep it from the public, this person poisoned Ah Mao and Granny Liu. This man may be the culprit of Jiang Kai's murder.

"And he's the elusive demon. I don't know when, he will appear and kill Xie Yan and Juanzi sisters. Xiao Bin and I are doing our best to investigate the truth of this series of strange things, I'm afraid we will also be included in the blacklist of his assassination, right?

"I don't know when he'll be like a gust of wind on the sisters, and I don't know when he'll shoot me through the skull, I can't be careless!"

Lang Xiaobai also warned his companion Xiao Bin, telling him to be careful in case of accidents, and at the same time, the protection of the Xie Yan sisters was also tighter.

One night, Lang Xiaobai and the two sisters Xie Yan took a boat to the river together. The autumn night sky is quiet and empty, and the stars like diamonds sparkle overhead. The air is cool and pleasant, and the river flows gently.

Lang Xiaobai rowed the boat, and the boat shuttled forward.

The moon seemed to be rising, and a faint glow could be seen shining on the other side of the mountain. All three of them were silent.

The boat moved forward slowly, but the river narrowed and narrowed, and then there was a high cliff behind it, and beyond it was a large deep pool, in which the water did not move. Lang Xiaobai stopped the oars and let the boat float with the waves.

At this time, Juanzi sang a ballad in a sweet and pleasant voice, and the silver bell-like song gently swept across the water, making Lang Xiaobai can't help but be fascinated. But when he suddenly asked, he lowered his voice and said:

"Juanzi, be quiet!"

Juanzi shut up in surprise and stopped singing.

The two sisters listened with their ears sideways, but there was no sound, only the sound of the boat crashing against the waves, and the mountains and rivers fell silent.

However, Lang Xiaobai heard the slightest movement with his extraordinary acuity, and he tasted the uneasy breath in the air. So he put the oars of the boat on the rocks and tried to move the boat to the shore.

At this moment, only a loud "boom" was heard, followed by a large rock falling from the cliff. The rocks collide with the protruding rock wall and eventually fall into the deep pool. Dirt and small gravel fell like rain.

Xie Yan and Juanzi hurriedly covered their ears and bowed down to avoid the falling objects. The boat trembled violently, but it had not yet overturned.

Lang Xiaobai stood up and looked up, only to see a man with a big hat on his head in the forest of the cliff. Because of the faint starlight, he couldn't make out the person's face, and it seemed that he leaned over and looked down for a while, and then got up and slipped away.

Lang Xiaobai jumped from the boat and flew to the rock, and then climbed the cliff. I saw a man with a big hat on his head shuttling through the lush forest, and he was running forward with the branches of the trees. But the light of the stars was so hazy that it looked like it was just a hat moving around.

Lang Xiaobai rushed forward, jumped and fell on the strange man, and pressed him hard. The other party deliberately escaped and struggled to break free, and Lang Xiaobai held him even harder and didn't let go. Both of them were silent, and Lang Xiaobai wrapped his strong arms around the strange man. Both were pressed against each other in the cracks in the stones, groaning in pain, but neither of them spoke.

Lang Xiaobai was holding down the stranger hard, but suddenly he felt that the stranger's body was gradually shrinking and thinner. It was so scary that Lang Xiaobai couldn't help but let go of his arm, and the stranger squeezed through the rock crevice between his hands and fled, like an incomparably smooth eel.

"Inhuman ......"

Lang Xiaobai felt trembling all over. He couldn't see the strange man anymore, he was already out of sight. Lang Xiaobai quickly returned to the boat and told the sisters:

"It's too dark tonight for me to see the guy's shadow."

Then, without saying a word, he rowed back. Because he felt that the scene that had just happened was so terrible, he was reluctant to speak.

That night, after lying down for two or three hours, Lang Xiaobai got up and came to the cliff where the accident occurred. He had tied a handkerchief that night in the place where he had fought the stranger, but when he saw it again, it was gone, replaced by a short knife stuck in an old tree.

"Is he going to war with me?"

He went back to the rock where the stranger was fighting, and saw a narrow slit in the rock. "He must have slipped through this crack and slipped out of my hand......"

The slit was about 60 to 80 centimeters long, but it was unusually narrow. Lang Xiaobai couldn't believe that the man with a big hat on his head and wooden shoes on his feet could get into this place! But it seems that there is no other way but this place.

"It's incredible! The strange man's body stretched and stretched freely, and seemed to be as soft as a boneless. Is there such a strange person in the world?"
