87. Spooky lotus pond
Shi Zheng looked at Zheng Yue'e, slowly put away his crying, and said:
"I deliberately did that to you before, because I wanted you to leave quickly, stay in the village, and probably be killed by my grandfather."
Zheng Yue'e frowned and asked:
"So, you're still doing it for us?"
"It's true, I didn't lie to you, once, I was still outside your window to remind you not to go out of the house, because my grandfather is watching you nearby, and I am afraid that he will attack you."
Shi Zheng said hurriedly, afraid that Chu Nan and the others would not believe it.
"Which window is it outside the window you are talking about?" Chu Nan asked.
"It's the house you live in, the window facing the street." Shi Zheng recalled for a moment and said.
Chu Nan and Zheng Yue'e Yanlin looked at each other, could it be that the mysterious figure who reported the news that day was really the grandson of the village chief?
But although Shi Zheng said the right position, Chu Nan obviously felt that the person was a woman, not a child, which made Chu Nan's doubts even worse.
"Let me ask you, do you know where the statue of the village chief was cast before?" Chu Nan looked at Shi Zheng and asked.
"I know, it's in the lotus root field, and my grandfather buried it in it." Shi Zheng did not hesitate and replied.
Chu Nan was in Tanxi Village before, and the way to eliminate the weirdness was to break the idol of the heartless monster, and when the village chief invited the god, he also cast the god statue, so this god statue is likely to be the key to eliminating the weirdness.
"Where is your grandfather now?" Chu Nan asked.
"It was at home, and then I ran out, and I didn't know if he was still there."
Shi Zheng remembered the scene of his grandfather eating his grandmother alive, now that his grandmother is dead, his grandfather is crazy, and he is really lonely.
"Senior Brother Chu, what should we do now?" Zheng Yuet-ngor asked.
Mu Pengfei and the others also looked at Chu Nan, tonight's Chu Nan's soul conjuring technique opened their eyes, and at this time, they couldn't help but start acting with Chu Nan as the center.
Chu Nan looked up at the position of the moon, calculated the time, made up his mind in his heart, and said:
"Let's go back to our lodgings and rest, and when the morning comes, we will take our tools and go to the lotus root field to find the statue of the god."
Afterwards, everyone followed Chu Nan back to his residence and seized the time to rest.
In Chu Nan's house, Shi Zheng laid the floor, he was lying on the ground, thinking about what happened recently, tears couldn't stop flowing.
He didn't know why a good village had become like this, and why his grandfather had become so evil and cruel, thinking about it, he still slowly fell asleep.
…………
When the sky began to appear white, Chu Nan had already led everyone, holding shovels, hoes and other tools, to the lotus root field.
In summer, the lotus root is already full of lotus leaves, and the petioles are thick and long, protruding from the water. There are countless "little pearls" on the lotus leaves, which shimmer with silver light and are very beautiful in the morning sun.
Zheng Yue'e and Yan Lin enjoyed the beautiful scenery and showed a rare smile that they had not seen for a long time.
Zheng Yue'e looked at the beautiful scenery of the lotus flower in the pond, and secretly looked at Chu Xiong, she thought to herself, if she could live in seclusion with Chu Xiong in this beautiful place, how happy would she be?
When Chu Nan inadvertently looked at the second daughter and touched Zheng Yue's gaze, Zheng Yue's face quickly turned red, and she quickly turned her head, causing Chu Nan to frown for a while, is she going to be in emotional debt?
"Uncle Chu, what are we going to do?" Yan Lin took the hoe, jumped to Chu Nan's side happily, and asked excitedly, she likes to play in the water the most.
"Go down directly and see if you can touch the idol, the lotus root that is in the way is directly removed, and you must find the idol."
After Chu Nan finished speaking, he began to jump into the lotus pond and groped with a stick, and when the others saw this, they also jumped into the lotus pond.
Although several people are now starting to work together, Mu Pengfei and Chu Nan are still tacitly divided into two teams, one team to the west and the other team to the east.
"Ahh Everyone was groping, but Senior Brother Hu suddenly shouted.
"What's wrong?" Mu Pengfei was closest to Senior Brother Hu and asked.
I saw Senior Brother Hu holding a petiole in his hand, screaming, pulling out the lotus root below, and throwing it on the ridge with force.
"What do you think these lotus roots are?!" Senior Brother Hu said in a trembling voice.
Everyone looked carefully, and the connection under the petiole of this lotus root turned out to be a humanoid lotus root! Just like the disciple of Jiuji Mountain who died in the lotus root field!
Mu Pengfei frowned, then grabbed a petiole beside him, lifted it vigorously, and threw it to the edge of the ridge, which was also a humanoid lotus root!
Chu Nan also lifted the petiole beside him, jumped ashore with the lotus root under the stalk, and found that it was also a humanoid lotus root!
She broke the hand of the humanoid lotus root with her bare hands, and it turned out to be muscular and blood similar to human tissue!
"Ahh Yan Lin was so frightened that he hurriedly jumped out of the lotus pond, and several other people also went ashore.
"Shouldn't these lotus flowers all be a person?" Zheng Yue'e held back her nausea and asked.
"I'm afraid so." Chu Nan frowned.
She used the system to search for lotus root fields before, but there was no hint at all, who would have thought that this kind of change would happen.
"So what do we do now? I'm so scared. Yan Lin was so frightened that she trembled.
Chu Nan raised his eyes and looked at this lotus root land, thinking to himself, the hundreds of people who died in Shimen Village should not all be here, right?
At this moment, a person slowly walked over from the direction of the village, it was the village chief of Shimen Village, Shi Jinsan.
The first time I saw Shi Jinsan, it was at night, he was slow to move, and he was angry when he spoke, and everyone thought he was an old man who was about to die.
But now Shi Jinsan, who walked towards everyone, had a straight figure and a steady pace, more like a prime-aged martial artist.
"Shi Zheng, how old are you and grandfather?" Chu Nan asked in a low voice.
"It's over sixty years old......" Shi Zheng replied in a low voice as he hid behind Chu Nan in fear.
"This village chief really has a problem, he doesn't look like a person in his sixties at all." Zheng Yue'e stood beside Chu Nan and said.
After Shi Jinsan approached, he looked at his grandson who was hiding behind Chu Nan and the others, and said with a gloomy look in his eyes:
"Xiaozheng, go home quickly."
Shi Zheng shrank back in fear, hiding behind Zheng Yue'e, not daring to speak.
"Are you the village chief Shi Jinsan, or something else?" Chu Nan asked.
When Shi Jinsan heard this, he raised his head and glanced at everyone, he was calculating in his heart at the moment, whether he could solve all these people at this moment.
Originally, he didn't want to face these people so quickly, his trickster core had not yet been successfully refined, and his strength had not yet reached its strongest.
"I am naturally Shi Jinsan, the village chief of Shimen Village, I advise you to go back quickly, the lotus root here is very weird, and many villagers have died in it, so don't follow in their footsteps."
Shi Jinsan's face was sincere, and he persuaded everyone.
