Chapter 277: Mutual Suspicion
Hundreds of people approached in an instant, besieging Lonnie and me.
"You two, who the hell are you? Why is it here! ā
A majestic-looking old man walked out with his hands behind his back and asked sharply.
"Don't get me wrong, the two of us are masters who help people watch things, passing by your village, we found that it is dark here, so come and check it out!"
I hastened to explain.
"No, didn't you just say that you came here to camp?"
However, as soon as I finished speaking, the old man who had been talking to me just now walked out, looked at me with a questioning face, and said.
"Village chief, don't believe them, these two people are not telling the truth!"
The dignified-looking old man nodded, and said coldly: "As soon as the turtle disappeared, these two guys ran to the old well to sneak around, I think maybe they stole the ghost!" ā
"Arrest them, don't let them escape!"
As soon as the village chief gave the order, the rest of the villagers approached in an instant, and Lonnie and I were at a loss for words, anxiously thinking about how to rush out of the crowd.
Rustle rustle......
Suddenly, the sycamore tree next to the old well made a rustling sound, and there was no wind blowing at this time, but the sycamore tree kept shaking!
The villagers suddenly stopped, and looked at the plane tree one by one with some horror, not knowing what was going on.
At this moment, I only heard a creaking, and from the depths of the sycamore tree, a rope suddenly hung down, and on top of the rope, a woman in white was tethered!
The woman's face was pale, her head was tilted to one side, her neck had already been strangled to bruises, and her whole body was shaking.
Squeak, squeak......
Like swinging, the woman giggled while shaking her body, and this scene made people's scalps tingle!
"Ahh Hell! ā
When the villagers saw this, they couldn't help but scream in fright, and fled one by one, but before they could run a few steps, they heard a thud, and everyone fell to the ground.
At some point, an invisible barrier appeared around it, and all the villagers were trapped inside!
The female ghost laughed, and her nails instantly stuck out of the elder, grabbing a villager.
The villager immediately collapsed to the ground in fright, unable to do anything but scream.
Seeing that the female ghost's nails were about to pierce the throats of the villagers, I hurriedly took the lead, and the Martial King whip was whipped hard!
Syllable!
A golden light flashed, and black smoke suddenly came out of the female ghost's body, so painful that she immediately retracted her hand, and a pair of eyes with only the whites of her eyes stared at me!
"Hell, come on!"
I beckoned to the female ghost and made a gesture of disdain.
The female ghost was immediately enraged, broke free from the rope, and pounced on me.
I tiptoed a little, and while avoiding the female ghost's attack, an exorcism charm struck out.
The female ghost suddenly fell to the ground, and her body spasmed, and Lonnie also took the opportunity to step forward and slapped it with a palm.
Rumble!
Suddenly, as the flames flashed, the female ghost immediately turned into ashes and disappeared.
"Okay, the ghosts have been eliminated by us, so don't be afraid."
I turned around and said to the villagers.
After a brief moment of consternation, the villagers reacted instantly and knelt down one after another.
"Thank you Master for saving my life, we are grateful!"
"We misunderstood the master just now, and I hope the master won't be surprised!"
The old village chief also came over at this time and said respectfully: "Two masters, we didn't have eyes just now, I'm sorry!" ā
"It's okay,"
I waved my hand and said to the village chief, "Village chief, in fact, we came here this time to solve the disappearance of the turtle for you. ā
When the village chief heard this, he was immediately overjoyed: "That's great, if the two of you can help us find the turtle, we can pay any price for Tuyugou!" ā
"I'm sorry, the turtle probably can't be recovered, it has already entered someone else's stomach by now."
I said helplessly.
"What!"
When the village chief heard this, he was immediately stunned, and the surrounding villagers also opened their eyes wide, revealing a look of shock on their faces.
"Who even dares to eat a turtle, it's really bold!"
"That's right, master, you quickly tell us who did it, and we must pay him back!"
The villagers clenched their fists one by one and said indignantly.
"Actually, the person who ate the turtle didn't know about it, and she is also suffering endless torture now, what you have to do is to help me find the person who captured the turtle and sold it!"
Immediately, I told everyone about someone who had brought the turtle to the fish market to sell it.
"The person who sold the turtle is your Tuyugou person, so we found this place just to find out the truth, so that we can find a solution to the problem!"
After listening to my explanation, the villagers were slightly stunned, and then looked at each other, and there was a trace of doubt in the eyes of everyone looking at each other.
"I know I took the turtle!"
Just as everyone was in doubt, a peasant woman suddenly walked out of the crowd and shouted loudly.
"Second aunt, who is that person, tell everyone quickly!"
"That's right, who is that person, we will not let him go easily!"
Everyone urged eagerly.
The peasant woman nodded, then reached out and swept through the crowd, pointing at one of them.
"That's her!"
I followed the woman's gaze, and the people on both sides avoided it, and there was a woman in her thirties.
The woman was born with clear eyebrows, simple clothes, and a five or six-year-old child in her hand, with a hint of stunned on her face, as if she had not yet reacted.
"IāI don't have ......"
"Stop quibbling!"
Before she could finish speaking, the woman said sharply, "Widow Liu, others don't know you, do you think I don't know you?" ā
"How many times have you told me, saying that your man is gone, your family is poor, and you don't want to spend money to sacrifice the turtle, and you say that this is some kind of superstitious activity, it is better to sell the gods and ghosts for money, I have long seen the dissatisfaction in your heart."
"And in the whole village, you are the only one who married from another place, and you don't believe in the matter of the Divine Turtle from beginning to end, who else can there be besides you?"
In the face of the woman's accusation, Widow Liu's eyes were full of tears, and her eyes were full of puzzlement.
"No, I really didn't do it, I said something like this, but I will never violate everyone's bottom line for my own selfishness!"
Widow Liu looked at the woman and said hatefully: "Second aunt, I have always regarded you as a good best friend, why do you treat me like this?" ā
"Good girlfriends? If you dare to steal the turtle and sell it for money, I don't have a girlfriend like you! ā
