The mother and daughter in the house glanced at each other, the woman sighed, and said slowly: "Girl, you don't know, recently there have been man-eating monsters in our village, at first only the men were missing, and then the old man and the woman slowly began to disappear." Those people were not seen at night, and now no one in the village dares to go out at night. ”

The woman paused, and in the darkness Shu Jue could see that her face was pale, and when she spoke, she shuddered violently, and she said: "I don't know if it's because everyone doesn't go out at night, and the monster can't catch people, so he starts knocking on the door and killing people at home, and five people have died this month." ”

Knock on the door and enter the house to kill someone? Killed five more? Shu Jue's face was clear, no wonder no one answered when she knocked on the door just now, and they dared to open the door after she made a sound.

"My name is Zhenniang, and this is my daughter Ah Yan. I was really sorry just now, but now there are only me and Ah Yan at home, so I have to be cautious. "Jane Niang is twenty-three or four-year-old, with a thin body, but her belly is high and bulging. Shu Jue couldn't tell how many months she had been, she only felt that she seemed to be very tired and unable to speak.

Ah Yan beside her was as thin as her, her face was a little thin and out of shape, her pointed chin, and a pair of almond eyes that should have been good-looking were deeply sunken, and her eyes were full of dullness and lifelessness that she shouldn't have at her age.

Zhenniang asked Ah Yan to clean up a room for Shujue, and asked her to spread some dry straw and cotton wool on the bed, saying that it would be warmer to sleep like this.

She herself fumbled to relight the candles in the room.

It was already late autumn, and the night was even colder, and there was firewood in the house, so Jane lit a fire in the middle of the earthen kang and blew out the candles.

Shu Jue was embarrassed to let such a young child make her bed, and waved her hand again and again, saying that she could sleep anywhere she wanted.

Ever since she lay on the burning stick on Edgeworth, it was like opening the door to a new world, and she could lie down on any branch outside—though she didn't usually sleep at night.

Immortal cultivators, especially those like her who have encountered bottlenecks, are very energetic at night.

However, she refused to refuse, and the mother and daughter still found her something to make the bed, and Shujue thanked her and made the bed by herself. “

After tidying up the room, the three of them sat in the hall, the shadows on the wall jumped and shook with the firelight, and Ah Yan leaned close to her mother, her thin body shivering a little because of the cold.

It's late autumn, but the mother and daughter are still wearing summer clothes. Although several summer clothes were worn on the body, they did not protect against the cold.

Shujue thought about it, looked for a long time in the storage bag, and found a relatively large fluffy blanket, she handed it to Zhenniang's mother and daughter: "You should cover this blanket first, it's cold at night, don't catch a cold." ”

Taking things out of thin air? Zhen Niang's mother and son were all shocked, and they immediately got up and kowtowed to Shujue, "Immortals, I don't know that there is nothing in the house where the immortals can entertain the immortals, and I hope the immortals don't blame." ”

"I'm not an immortal." Shu Jue deftly avoided it, "I am a disciple of the sect master of Qinghong Sect, my name is Shu Jue, and I came out to practice. ”

Zhenniang didn't listen, so she had to pull her daughter to kowtow to Shujue, and she didn't want to get up no matter what she said when she lay on the ground: "Please save us!" ”

Since the monster appeared, the whole village could only spend the night in fear, praying that the monster would not find him.

Who wouldn't want a good night's sleep if they could?

Now they always feel that if they close their eyes, the monster will come out of nowhere, and this ordinary person can't sleep well for a day or two, even if he doesn't sleep well for a month or two, Zhen Niang hasn't slept well, and now seeing Shujue is like grabbing a life-saving straw.

Shujue had no choice but to grab the blanket and stuff it into the hands of the mother and daughter: "You cover this blanket first, don't worry, I will help you solve it." ”

She didn't look very old, but the mother and daughter obviously didn't despise her because she looked young, after all, in some folk dramas, the appearance of immortals will not change.

So without Shu Jue's knowledge, she was treated as a tender old monster by the mother and daughter in front of her.

With the identity of "immortal", the mother and daughter are obviously more restrained in front of Shujue, but they are restrained, and before Shujue asked, Zhenniang took the initiative to say what happened in the village recently.

The name of the village is Linshui Village, which is named after the village's proximity to the river.

Most of the villagers in Linshui Village make a living by fishing, and it is far away from the county seat, so everyone is not having a good time.

Zhenniang was married to the next village, and when she came back to visit relatives, she didn't expect to encounter this incident.

The first person in the village to go missing was an alcoholic, who disappeared more than a month ago on an unknown day.

Because he has no family, he doesn't have much contact with the villagers on weekdays, and he lies around drunk every day, and no one cares about him.

It wasn't until the second person disappeared that everyone found out that the drunkard who used to sleep everywhere after being drunk didn't seem to have seen him for a long time.

Then came the second, the third......

Jane Niang was scared and wanted to leave with her daughter, but no matter how far she went, how long she walked, and how far she walked, she would eventually return to the entrance of the village for some reason, and the other villagers were the same, and no one could get out of the village.

After more than twenty men died in the village, the women and the old people began to suffer, and because everyone was closed at night, the monster began to knock on the door from house to house, and whoever opened the door would suffer.

"The food at home has already been eaten, you have also seen it, I am like this, there is really no way to go up the mountain to find food, our mother and daughter can only rely on Ah Yan to go to the mountain to pick some wild vegetables during the day, and then get some rice and something to drink."

Ordinary people can't eat enough like this, let alone Zhen Niang still has one in her stomach, which is exactly the time when she needs nutrition.

"Eat these first." Shu Jue took out some cooked food that had been prepared and distributed it to them.

The storage bag has a freshness preservation function, so you don't have to worry about the cooked food going bad when you throw it in.

Zhen Niang was flattered and took the food, thanked her, and then shared it with Ah Yan.

She was so hungry that she didn't refuse.

Seeing that they had finished eating, Shujue got up again and took out the straw and cotton wool that had been laid out in the room, and laid them out in the hall under the puzzled eyes of Zhenniang's mother and daughter.

"It should be quite cold in the room, there is a fire here, you can rest in the hall tonight, sleep at ease, I am watching here, the monsters will not come in."

In fact, it doesn't matter if there is no firewood, there is Shujue's fire spirit root, which can also make the mother and daughter warm and warm through tonight.

Zhen Niang was in tears and wanted to kowtow to Shujue again, so frightened that she immediately put on a straight face and pretended to be angry: "If you do this again, I will leave Linshui Village tomorrow." "Jane Niang just gave up.
