Chapter 43: The Crisis in Xujia Village

"This big brother, you're laughing, we are from the fairy gate, and we have taken it as our responsibility to eliminate demons and defend the road, if we encounter monsters that don't charge ahead, but instead become a turtle with a shrunken head, won't we enter the fairy gate in vain?" Chu Huaisheng said with a smile, revealing two small tiger teeth, which added a touch of liveliness to his rich bookish aura.

"Senior brother is right, it is our duty to solve the demonic crisis in Xujia Village and protect the safety of the people, and we are duty-bound!" The flowers straighten their backs and their eyes are clear.

Several others nodded.

"Fellow Immortal Elders, since you are so determined, it is difficult for me to dissuade you." The messenger put down the tea bowl in his hand, pursed his lips and shook his head, and then said, "Xujia Village is not far from here, and it just so happens that we are also going to investigate the situation of the newly missing children, so you can go with us." ”

Bai Yusheng arched his hand, "Thank you a few big brothers." ”

The messenger who had just spoken stood up, followed by the other two officers.

I saw that the official badge hanging on the waist of the errand officer who got up first was obviously different from the other two, and I thought it should be the leader.

The five people followed, and Bai Yusheng asked the leading officer, "Dare to ask the eldest brother's surname?" ”

"My surname is Zhang, a single name is a Feng character, a Huicheng person, and I am on an errand in the Yamen of Yuecheng." The officer replied.

"Brother Zhang, how many children are there in this Xujia Village, and how many have disappeared so far?" Bai Yusheng spoke again.

"Xujia Village is surrounded by mountains, it is a small village, the population is not large, there are more than 40 people under the age of 16, the missing people are all under the age of 10, there are currently 11 people, three bodies have been found, and the death is the same." Zhang said as he walked.

Several people chatted for a while, and soon arrived at the entrance of Xujia Village.

I saw a simple wooden stake standing on the side of the road, engraved with the words "Xujia Village", and after two steps, a wooden door appeared in front of me, and several seals were pasted on the wooden door.

Zhang Chashou stepped forward and tore open the seal, opened the door, and explained, "Xujia Village is in danger now, so in order to prevent people from outside from entering and losing their lives, the seal was affixed. ”

Walking through the wooden door, the small village has lost its former serenity and tranquility, replaced by devastation and lifeless wails.

The streets were deserted, except for the occasional whistling of the wind and the leaves, and the few wisps of smoke rising from the stove seemed to be very cautious at the moment.

Hanamali followed the team to the village, passed a house, and caught a glimpse of a little girl with braids and a big red jacket looking out of the closed window, the girl's eyes were big, like black grapes, and Hanama couldn't help but take a few more looks.

The five men followed the servant to a family where a five-year-old boy had just been lost.

Zhang Messenger knocked on the door, "Yamen Zhang Feng came to investigate, please open the door." ”

After waiting for a while, there was a sound of footsteps behind the door, and the door was opened, revealing the woman's emaciated and haggard face.

"It's Lord Zhang, please come in." The woman stepped aside, her voice hoarse and tired.

When the three servants walked into the courtyard, the woman saw the five people in the flower behind her, and asked suspiciously, "Who are these people?" ”

Zhang Messenger turned around and replied, "Oh, these are the immortal chiefs from the Immortal Gate, and this time they are here to solve the matter of black qi. ”

When the woman heard this, she quickly knelt down and cried and kowtowed to the five people, "Immortal elders, please save my son......"

Hua Jianli hurriedly stepped forward to help the woman up, "Auntie, you don't want to be like this, get up first." ”

The woman wiped her tears and nodded, leading a few people into the hall.

The hall was dimly lit by the locks of the doors and windows, and a man sat on a bench sharpening his knife, his messy hair and thin back clearly visible in the backlight.

Hearing someone coming in, the man stopped what he was doing and turned his head.

"In charge, Lord Zhang and a few immortal elders came to find out about Luo'er's disappearance." The woman spoke.

"Even if someone from the Immortal Gate comes, what's the use? Before, the second girl next door disappeared, and a person who cultivated immortals also came, and he left in disgrace. The man turned his head and continued to sharpen his knife, his tone indifferent.

"Tu Yuan, these immortals are strong and strong, and there are many people, they will definitely be able to help you find your son." Zhang patted the man's shoulder and said.

The man named Tu Yuan was silent, and Zhang asked the woman again, "Luo'er disappeared in the middle of the night, what was the movement when she disappeared?" ”

The woman shook her head, her voice choked, "Since the children in the village disappeared one after another, my father and I didn't dare to sleep every night, and took turns to watch, the day before yesterday his father kept vigil, but somehow he fell asleep, and I was like being drugged, I slept very deeply, and when I woke up, Luo'er was gone." ”

"It's all my fault! It's all my fault! Why did you fall asleep......" The man suddenly threw down the knife in his hand, beat his chest, hugged his head and cried.

"Uncle, you don't need to blame yourself, it must be that monster who made you fall asleep, don't worry, we will definitely do our best to eliminate the demonic energy and help you find Luo'er." Bai Yusheng comforted Tu Yuandao.

"Immortal elders, we have to rush back to the yamen to resume our lives, we can't continue to accompany you, the children are missing in the middle of the night, you must be careful." Zhang understood the situation clearly and said goodbye to the five people at the door.

"Thank you, Brother Zhang, I've had a lot of trouble along the way." Bai Yusheng thanked him.

"Where, if the Immortal Chief can eliminate the demonic qi, he will be the great benefactor of my Xujia Village and even Yuecheng." Zhang laughed loudly and left with the other two officers.

"Now it's unitary time, it's about to get dark, let's divide into two teams to go around the village, I and Hua Jianli, Hou Yueming in a group, Huaisheng and Lin Yiqiao in a group, if there is any situation at night, spread the sound in time." Bai Yusheng looked at the four of them and arranged the next action.

"Yes, senior brother." The four of them responded in unison.
