Chapter 48: Lightning strikes
This is in... What are you praying for?
I stared at these villagers, and a chill filled my heart.
There are absolutely some secrets hidden in this village.
Squeak~
The door of the academy was pushed open.
A man dressed in white appeared in the doorway.
Seeing his figure, everyone's emotions became even more crazy.
But no matter how excited they were, they forcibly controlled themselves not to make a sound.
The whole scene is like a mime.
Although there is no bloody and terrifying sight, it always feels creepy.
That man was obviously Zhai Feng.
His appearance is very delicate, and he can even be said to be a little handsome.
At this time, there was no expression on his face, and his eyes were indifferent and terrifying.
He stretched out his hand, and in his hand were paper packets with thin threads attached.
These paper packets are all folded with yellow rune paper.
I immediately turned my face to look at the old man.
The old man shook his head at me.
Also, these runes were stacked on top of each other, and the runes on them were not visible at all, so the old man naturally couldn't distinguish them.
Zhai Feng raised his hand, and the paper bag in his hand flew towards the crowd.
The villagers reached out to grab it with a frenzied expression, but still did not make a sound.
The villagers who grabbed the rune paper immediately stuffed the paper bag into their mouths and swallowed it desperately, not even removing the thread on it.
The villagers who didn't grab it still grabbed their hands with hideous expressions.
Zhai Feng took out a batch of paper bags again and threw them over.
The whole process, like feeding pigs, has no human flavor at all.
As the paper packets were distributed, Zhai Feng closed the door.
The villagers got up silently and left quietly.
The three of us hurriedly retreated and returned to Wu Laoer's house the same way.
When the three of us sat down, we found that the clothes behind us were soaked with cold sweat.
When daytime comes, the whole village is still peaceful and like a paradise.
But the scene just now is obviously like a hundred ghosts walking at night.
But these villagers are obviously still human.
Whether it's the villagers, the fox girl, or Zhai Feng, I can't see a trace of resentment in them.
I looked at Lin Bao with some concern.
Lin Bao, who should have been the most anxious, was very calm at this time.
"She also wore the clothes of the fox girl, proving that she should have been a fox girl in the first place."
"The current fox girl is wearing a hairpin sent by Zhai Feng, and her face is blushing when she answers the question, there should be an intimate relationship between the two of them, or rather, the current fox girl has a crush on Zhai Feng."
"Zhai Feng is obviously from the Xuanmen, although I don't know what he did to the villagers, but it is obviously not a good thing. And he has been here for ten years, maybe her death has something to do with Zhai Feng. ”
Lin Bao carefully sorted out all the information that could be deduced so far.
I nodded secretly.
Even if he is a person in the play, he can still watch coldly and analyze rationally.
"Have a good rest, and slowly dig up the fox girl and Zhai Feng's."
Lin Bao sighed slightly, turned around and lay down.
The black cat nestled in my arms and stretched.
I patted the black cat on the head and motioned for it to keep vigil at night.
The black cat stood up with some dissatisfaction and lay down on the windowsill.
There's a black cat vigil, and I'm not worried about what the hell will go wrong.
Nothing was said all night.
The next day, the village chief found us early in the morning.
He was very polite, and after a moment of idle talk, he suddenly changed his mind and asked when we planned to leave.
"Your place is beautiful, the people are simple, we want to stay a few more days."
After listening to my answer, the village chief's brow furrowed.
"Our village has our own traditions and beliefs, the longer you stay here, the more things you will learn, if you don't plan to settle here, it's better to leave as soon as possible, of course, we will prepare enough food for you."
The village chief's words were very polite, but I still heard the voice.
There are secrets in the village that cannot be known to outsiders.
Once you know it, you can only stay, and you can't leave it again.
I sneered to myself.
If I want to go, who of you can stop me?
"I'm talking to you, we are too tired of living in the outside world, so we are in love with the mountains and rivers, and we are accidentally lost in this deep mountain. If we can stay here and live the rest of our lives, we can't ask for it. ”
Lin Bao said.
Hearing this, the village chief's brows furrowed even tighter.
He seemed to be detering whether or not to let us stay.
"I think it's good that with fresh blood joining, the village will be more vibrant."
A magnetic voice came.
Turning his head, Zhai Feng was standing at the door dressed in white, looking at us with a smile.
"Sir."
The village chief immediately stood up, and his attitude was very respectful.
I was keenly aware that even when facing the fox girl, the village chief was not so humble.
Although we were wary in our hearts, we still pretended to greet Zhai Feng warmly.
After listening to Zhai Feng's words, the village chief also took a big turn in his attitude, and immediately welcomed us to join the village.
Zhai Feng strongly invited us into his academy.
After all, the new knowledge introduced from the outside world is of great significance to this old village.
Although there is definitely something wrong with this Zhai Feng, if he doesn't get close to him, he can't investigate.
After soliciting the consent of Lin Bao and the old man, we officially moved into Zhai Feng's academy.
In addition to being used as a private school, the college also functions as a medical center.
The old man and Lin Bao both know how to use medical skills, so they are naturally very loved by Zhai Feng.
And I don't have any special skills, so I can only do some odd jobs.
But this is more in line with me, this kind of free identity allows me to observe Zhai Feng more comprehensively.
However, after a few days, he did not find any suspicion about Zhai Feng.
There are many girls who come to him every day, but Zhai Feng refuses.
I snuck up a girl and asked why.
The girl told me that Zhai Feng swore ten years ago that he would not marry in this life, just to atone for his sins.
Expiation?
I was immediately interested, but no matter how much I asked, the girl didn't want to reveal any more information.
And since we moved into the college, the night has not happened again.
For a whole week, just when we were worried that we couldn't find clues, we suddenly received the news that the whole village had gathered.
I didn't know what was going on, so I could only follow the villagers to the ancestral hall.
In front of the ancestral hall, there is a huge altar.
In the middle of the altar, there was a tall fox totem, but it had collapsed, and the whole thing was charred black, as if it had been struck by lightning.
All the villagers stood on the altar, the fox girl stood in the middle, and Zhai Feng stood next to her.
The crowd was silent, and we were not able to speak, so we had to do it.
Rumble!
The weather was clear, and suddenly the clouds were thick, and a huge thunder exploded.
The villagers trembled unconsciously.
The air quickly cooled, and I saw a thick resentment drifting in from afar, hanging over the village.
Rumble!
Another thunderbolt struck a large tree outside the village, and the tree collapsed with a bang, igniting a raging fire.
Amid the dark clouds and resentment, a woman's figure slowly appeared.
She is dressed as a fox girl, but her eyes are as black as ink, which is the characteristic of a ghost.
Lin Bao's hand grabbed my arm suddenly, pinching me painfully.
