When the group walked out of the dense forest, the sky was already dark, the sky was full of dark clouds, and they saw that heavy rain was coming.

"Look, there's a village in a thousand faces!" Gan Ning, who was the first to rush out of the dense forest, pointed ahead and said excitedly.

Hearing this, everyone's hearts rejoiced, looking at the clouds, they knew that this rain would not be small, if they did not find a place to shelter from the rain, I am afraid that this night will be quite difficult!

When everyone walked near the village, it was completely dark, and the village was pitch black, as if no one had lived in it for a long time.

Zhuge Liang, who was the leader, frowned, and at this time, a lightning bolt pierced the dark sky, allowing everyone to see the whole picture of the village in front of them for a short time.

The dilapidated houses combined with the surrounding charred ground and the few half-cut tree trunks all indicate the dilapidation of this place!

"This is the village we're looking for..."

Zhuge Liang's words were particularly loud in the silent night, and everyone couldn't help but feel a shock in their ears, and Yuan Ji hid directly in Zhuge Liang's arms, and her trembling delicate body proved that she was extremely scared at this moment! Even Gan Ning, a person who is usually very arrogant, flinched a little.

People in this era are quite superstitious, and when they heard Zhuge Liang describe this village before, they gave people a feeling that this village was cursed.

Now it is not only the night, but also the rainstorm is coming, and everyone is naturally frightened!

"Let's go, the heavy rain is coming, and we have nowhere to hide, tidy up for the night, and we can return to Jingzhou tomorrow after some investigation."

Zhuge Liang patted Yuan Ji in his arms and continued to speak: "Ji'er, don't be afraid, there is a husband!" ”

After speaking, he took Yuan Ji and took the lead towards the village.

"Crunch, crunch!"

Walking through the village, the sound of stepping on broken branches is heard from time to time, proving that this abandoned village has not been visited for a long time.

"Let's stay in this house, don't be scattered, stay in one room and deal with the night!"

As he spoke, Zhuge Liang pointed to a relatively intact room beside him, and a guard stepped forward and touched it lightly, and the door fell to the ground in response, kicking up a cloud of dust.

At this time, a little drizzle had fallen in the sky, and everyone didn't have time to think about it, so they rushed in.

The guards took out the torches and lit them, and finally got a clear view of the inside of the house.

There are two rooms in the room, the inside and outside, everyone is in the outside, the small room is very simple, only a set of tables and chairs in the center, and a cabinet on the inner wall!

At this time, another guard also lit a torch and opened the back door to shine inside.

"Who's there?!"

The guards exclaimed, and the rest of the people hurriedly drew their weapons and waited for them.

The room was silent, except for the crackling sound of raindrops falling on the ground outside, mixed with the sound of heavy wheezing!

The group came to the back door and looked inside by the glimmer of the torches!

The inner room is simpler, with only a large bed, and at this time, there is a person lying on the bed covered with a quilt, and the body hidden under the quilt can be faintly seen as if moving!

At this moment, a lightning bolt struck, illuminating the room transparently! The scene inside is also unobstructed, I saw what kind of person was on the bed, it was clearly a skeleton lying quietly on the bed, and before everyone could breathe a sigh of relief, suddenly the quilt trembled, and then two black shadows rushed out, startling everyone into a commotion!

"It's just a mouse, don't panic! The deceased is gone, don't disturb the peace of others, close the back door, and we will deal with it in the front hall for a night! Zhuge Liang said.

Everyone agreed, and in less than a stick of incense, a clean area was cleaned up.

As a result of the successive journeys, all the people present were so tired that one of the guards was left to keep vigil in turn, and the rest soon fell asleep.

I don't know how long I slept, Zhuge Liang was woken up, and when he opened his eyes, he found that it was still dark all around, and the person who called him was Yuan Ji in his arms.

Seeing her lover wake up, Yuan Ji blushed and whispered in Zhuge Liang's ear: "Husband... Ji'er wants to go to the toilet... But I don't dare to be alone..."

Zhuge Liang nodded, got up and whispered a few words to the guards on duty, and then took Yuan Ji along the eaves and walked out!

The heavy rain outside continued, and the two stopped after turning to the room, Yuan Ji didn't dare to be too far away, and squatted down with a red face not far from Zhuge Liang three or four meters away, in order to alleviate the embarrassment, Yuan Ji opened his mouth to divert the topic: "Husband... Will we be able to return to Jingzhou without any problems? ”

As soon as the words came out, Yuan Ji regretted a little, how could she ask such a negative question at this time.

Seeing that no one answered, Yuan Ji turned his head and found that Zhuge Liang was looking at the rain curtain in front of him.

As if sensing his wife's gaze, Zhuge Liang slowly spoke: "Jia Xu, Guo Jia, Gan Ning, including the husband, and all the people involved, have long been ready to face death..."

"Husband..."Yuan Ji wanted to say something, but she didn't know where to start.

"Originally, the husband just wanted to find a lord in this troubled world, wishing him great achievements, and the monarch and ministers achieving a good story, which will be passed down through the ages... It's a pity that I was deceived by Na Jiawen and I, and I had to face today's crisis, and it directly affected Ji'er..."

At this time, Yuan Ji had also finished solving, returned to Zhuge Liang's side, and said softly: "Where is the husband, if it weren't for the husband, Ji'er would have died three years ago, Ji'er knows the husband's heart, although he is mean, but this is the life that the husband yearns for... Isn't it? ”

Zhuge Liang didn't answer, but the upturned corners of his mouth showed what he was thinking.

"Let's go back..."

Before he finished speaking, Zhuge Liang's pupils contracted suddenly, and Yuan Ji on the side seemed to be aware of it, and looked in the direction of the center of the village not far away with Zhuge Liang's gaze.

I don't know when, a black mist actually gathered over there, and there were faint bursts of mournful wails in the fog, including men, women, old and young, which sounded quite strange and terrifying.

Looking closely, the edge of the black fog is spreading, and you can also see that there seem to be countless faces and arms formed by the black fog in the fog, struggling outward.

didn't have time to think about it, Zhuge Liang hurriedly picked up Yuan Ji, who was already stupid, and returned to the house in a few arrows, calling him and others one after another.

After everyone came to their senses, Zhuge Liang briefly explained the situation outside, Gan Ning came to the window, through the broken window lattice, you can see the situation outside as Zhuge Liang said, the difference is that at this time, the black fog has spread to the place where Yuan Ji has just relieved his hand.

Without allowing much thought, Zhuge Liang made a quick decision and ordered everyone to pack their bags and withdraw from the village.

Everyone didn't dare to delay, and in a few breaths, they rushed out of the house and ran in the direction they came! After about a stick of incense, everyone finally rushed out of the village and ran to the edge of the dense forest! Fortunately, the rain is getting lighter at this time, and it is not too embarrassing.

Looking back, the black mist at this moment had already enveloped the entire village, but it was not spreading outward!

Seeing this, everyone was also afraid for a while, if it wasn't for Zhuge Liang and the others who found out about the abnormality, everyone would probably die directly in the village without knowing it!
