Before dawn in the morning, I heard movement outside, and knew that Zhao Donglai had already come over to start cooking, so I also went out and prepared to go to Li Shishi's house to have a look.

Li Shishi's family lived in the area where the tenants lived in the north of the village, and the tenants also began to get up at this time, and it was estimated that they would go to the grain store to eat after a while, and then Li Shishi would take the mountain and river guards to start training, I was worried that the tenants would attract attention when I met them on the road, so I hid in the night.

When I arrived at Li Shishi's residence, I suddenly found that this place was very close to the ruins where I lived when I first came to Shanhe Village.

Because I spent most of my time in this village, I basically never came here again.

My straw hut, which is not much bigger than a kennel, is still there, and the four walls behind it are still there to keep out the wind, but the yard is full of weeds, and it is deserted again.

Not far from this ruin, it is Jiang Lianyang's house, and at this time, the lights in his house are also on, and it seems that he has gotten up.

After the fright of Maozi entering the village yesterday, basically the people in the village gathered in my cellar, I really looked for it in the crowd at that time, and I didn't see Jiang Lianyang, he wouldn't avoid me, he was really not even afraid of Maozi?

I'm really not sure if Jiang Lianyang recognized me, but just because the name is the same, I guess he can't help but doubt it.

But speaking of which, there is actually no knot that cannot be untied, because of his careful eye, he killed Zhao Donglai once, but I later traveled back a little earlier and changed these, so this incident is basically equivalent to never happening.

And then again, since things have changed, Jiang Lianyang should gradually stop remembering this matter.

Therefore, in Jiang Lianyang's memory, this incident will gradually become blurred and slowly forgotten, so that in the end, he will only think that it was a dream he had.

Even I would be a false person in his dreams, and as for the fact that he dug a rat hole to get money and food, this incident will gradually fade my shadow from his memory, and it will become a legendary story of him doing it alone.

So, why hasn't he come to join us in the tunnel? Is it just because he had a holiday with Zhao Donglai?

I stood beside the ruins and thought for a while, but I really couldn't figure it out, and then I saw that the lights of Li Shishi's house were also on, and after a while, Li Shishi went out in the direction of the grain store.

I was standing in the courtyard of Li Shishi's house, listening to the movement inside, and I heard a little girl's voice babbling and babbling.

This is exactly what a three- or four-year-old child is in when he first learns to speak, and a woman's voice in it is constantly talking to the child.

This woman should be Li Shishi's daughter-in-law.

"Girl, after a while, my mother will go to work in the fields, will you be good at home by yourself."

"Not good, girl...... Going to ......"

"The boudoir is obedient, if she is at home, her mother will buy sugar candy when she comes back."

The woman continued to coax the little girl.

"Go too, don't ......" the girl continued to refuse.

"Yesterday, the boudoir was home alone, didn't she stay well, obedient and sensible, boudoir, are you still as good as yesterday?"

"Yesterday's big mouse, play together, the girl is afraid of ......"

Well? When I heard the little girl say this, I was shocked, could it be that this mouse appeared yesterday. But the rat appeared and played with the child, and today he ate her again, so yesterday, or even earlier, this big rat wouldn't be stepping on it in advance, right?

Is it a rat spirit? However, I don't seem to have heard of the rat spirit eating children, even the gray man who already has a certain way of doing it and can transform into a human form is just a little hare to treat himself.

"What kind of big mouse, you are obedient, eat quickly, after eating, I will go to work in the field, you play at home, I will come back at noon to make food for you."

Li Shishi's daughter-in-law coaxed, and her tone was a little impatient.

In this era, the children of poor families are really pitiful, and it is really difficult for parents to take care of them in order to survive, hey!

At this time, the little girl began to cry quietly, and Li Shishi's daughter-in-law stopped coaxing, so she let her cry, listening to the sound inside, as if she was cooking, and then as if she was cooking, the little girl whimpered while eating something.

"Why are you so disobedient? If you cry again, don't eat. ”

The little girl's crying slowly became quieter, and I felt distressed to hear it outside, if I didn't come today, it would be the last meal for the little girl, and she would still finish it crying.

I remember that the notes of "Strange Tales of Mountains and Rivers" were recorded in detail: Li Shishi's daughter-in-law came back from working in the fields, and as soon as she pushed the door open, a strong smell of blood came to her face, and then she saw blood all over the ground, tables and basins were overturned, and there were small bloody handprints on the walls, quilts, and brooms. Li Shishi's daughter-in-law was startled, and hurriedly went into the house to look for it, only to see a pile of blood-stained, torn cloth and a bloody small skeleton next to the pyre. The flesh on the skeleton is all shaved.

Li Shishi's daughter-in-law judged from the pile of clothes that this skeleton was her three-year-old daughter Li Huanghua. Li Shishi's daughter-in-law suddenly cried loudly, Li Shishi was guarding a fox in the cemetery on the hill, and when she heard the news, she ran back, and endured her grief to find the cause of her daughter's death.

After the news spread, the small courtyard of Li Shishi's house was full of people, and a few bold people stepped forward to see it and said that it was like being bitten to death by a wild beast. At this time, everyone found out that the flesh on Li Huanghua's skeleton was shaved cleanly, and there were dense tooth scratches on the bones, which was definitely not something that could be done artificially.

Later, Li Shishi's daughter-in-law went crazy, and Li Shishi also languished.

But it seems that after I appeared, the fate of this family changed, at least today Li Shishi went to the grain store to eat, and then took the mountain and river guard team to train, instead of going to the small mountain to guard some fox.

I'm here to stay, and I'm not going to let that big rat hurt a finger of the little girl.

I listened to Li Shishi's daughter-in-law as if she had finished eating, and simply cleaned up, and then comforted her daughter a few words, I walked in incognito, and saw the little girl sitting on the kang, with a small braid on her head, wrapped with a red head rope, very cute.

Li Shishi's daughter-in-law also seemed to be very capable, so she quickly cleaned up the dishes and chopsticks, quickly washed them and put them in the cupboard, and then picked up the hoe in the corner and went out.

Immediately afterwards, this Li Shishi's daughter-in-law made me really unexpected, she locked the door with her backhand, the little girl pulled her shoes, cried and followed to the door, and after finding that she was locked inside, she walked back crying, took off her shoes and sat on the kang and began to cry again.

I just said, when I read the content of the note, I have been unable to figure it out, children are already three or four years old, especially children in rural areas, it is common to run outside at the age of three or four, and she won't run when she sees a big mouse coming?

At least she would run out of the house and stand in the yard crying, and maybe someone would hear the cry, but why did she stay in the house until she was eaten?

Now that this doubt is solved, the tiger girls have locked the door!

Then I noticed that the child cried a few times and then looked at the cupboard, and then continued to cry, and continued to look in the direction of the cupboard, and then from time to time he looked out of the window.

I went to the cupboard and examined it carefully, but I didn't find anything unusual, not even a hole, what was the little girl looking at.

But whatever it was, the problem must be near this cupboard, and I wanted to move the cupboard to look at the back, but I was afraid of scaring the child, so I simply stood next to the cupboard, observing the child's expression while staring at the cupboard.

After a while, the little girl stopped crying, but her eyes began to stare motionlessly at the cupboard, and from time to time she looked out the window.

At this time, the sky was completely bright, and the time was close to half past seven, when there was a sound of footsteps in the yard, and the little girl hurriedly got up from the kang, pulled her shoes and ran to the door, and shouted outside:

"Five aunts, five aunts!"

"Yo, boudoir, did your mother lock you in the house again?"

"Fifth aunt, the girl is afraid, fifth aunt, open the door!"

The little girl clung to the door and pleaded in the room.

"The girl is not afraid, not afraid!"

The woman outside coaxed a few words perfunctorily, and the footsteps faded away.

The little girl was disappointed, and walked back again, and now her eyes were fixed on the ground in front of the cupboard, and then she went up to the kang again, and shrank in the corner.

After about ten minutes, the sound of rustling began to be heard in the cupboard, and the little girl shivered and shrank back into the corner.

Then I saw the floor in front of the cupboard change, and the soil in that small patch of ground seemed to start to soften, and then the soil slowly turned and swirled downward.

This is an innate ability of underground animals after becoming a spirit monster - earth-breaking technique, Taoism also studied the earth-breaking technique according to the spirit of the spirit, Yang Chenglin when he controlled the paper man to dig a tunnel, I found that he used the earth-breaking technique at the same time.

It looks like a rat spirit, so I'll wait for it to come out and see what it looks like, and then kill it directly.

As I thought this, a large hole with a diameter of half a meter appeared in the place where the ground had sunken, and then a huge rat's head poked out of the hole.

After seeing this rat head, the little girl trembled, covered her eyes with her little hands, and I released the power of the five elements to cast a protective barrier on the little girl.

When the rat came out of the hole, I was almost startled when I saw it: what kind of monster is this, this rat's body is one meter long, and it looks like it is fifty or sixty pounds, but this is nothing, the key is that this thing is actually the body of a mouse, but it has a pair of hands and a pair of feet, is it going to be transformed?

The spirits who cultivate are spiritual, and they themselves know that if they do more evil things, they will be miserable in the future, so the spirits will not easily hurt and eat people, especially insects and rats, which are animals that are not easy to cultivate, so since this thing already has such a ability, but it still comes to eat people, this is a little incomprehensible to me.

As soon as the mouse got out of the hole, he immediately jumped on the kang, and then walked towards the little girl, who covered her eyes again, and the mouse looked at the little girl in front of him, and then looked back at the entrance of the hole.

After a while, I heard a "squeak" in the hole, and five rats of different sizes came out one after another.
