Chapter 27: I'm Burning You
After Zhou Qing finished speaking, the village chief looked surprised, he believed and didn't believe the little boy's words.
Zhou Qing, who was on the side, spoke up after seeing the hesitation on the village chief's face.
"There is nothing false in what I say, of course, old man, you may think that I am a liar, but please think about it, liars generally have other plans, and I have nothing to ask for, if you don't believe it, then I have nothing to say. ”
After saying a few words, Zhou Qing stood up and prepared to leave.
"The trail chief stays!" Seeing this, the village chief shouted to Zhou Qing, which proved from this that he had begun to believe what Zhou Qing said.
In this world, there is no doubt about the prestige of a village chief in his own village, as long as the village chief believes it, then Zhou Qing's purpose has been achieved.
After talking with the village chief for a while, the other party was even more convinced of Zhou Qing's words.
"I believe your words, but if you say it is true, even if we survive tonight, our village will be in ruins. ”
"Yes, the only way to stop that goblin village is to kill it. Zhou Qing guided the thoughts in his heart to the village chief's thoughts step by step.
"Extermination?
"If I can get the help of the old man and there are no accidents, I am confident that I will kill them. ”
They reached a consensus with each other, and then they discussed carefully in front of the hospital, and finally, the village chief walked in the direction of the village head with his hands behind his back.
A moment later, he returned from the head of the village to the village, followed by a group of villagers with farm tools.
After recruiting back the people who worked in the fields, the village chief gathered the whole village on the main road in the middle of the village, and then led Zhou Qing to the front of everyone.
"Listen to me, our village ......"
After gathering all the villagers, the village chief told the villagers what Zhou Qing told him to tell them as it was.
After speaking, the villagers gathered around and whispered and began to discuss the matter, and it didn't take long for a villager to ask, "Second uncle, is what you said reliable?"
"This matter came from the mouth of this little Taoist, and after I thought about it carefully, I found that his words should be true. The old village chief glanced at the villagers with his hands behind his back, and said solemnly, "As the saying goes, it is better to believe what it has than not to believe it, for the sake of the safety of the village, this matter has been decided." ”
The village chief's majestic words came out, and the villagers stopped talking, and turned their eyes to Zhou Qing, and then looked at the village chief, and no one stood up to speak, obviously agreeing with what he said just now.
Seeing this, the villagers dispersed under the orders of the village chief, and it was not long before the old, weak, women, and children in the village gathered together and walked in the direction of the end of the village.
The sturdy men in the village all returned home, each took a shovel and shovel, and gathered at the door of the village chief's house.
"Chief, since the village chief said that he believes you, then our big guy must also believe you, you said that a ghost came to our village, you must have seen that thing, can you tell us what that ghost looks like? How big is it? Will it ......fly?"
Zhou Qing, who was standing at the door of the village chief's house, heard a villager's inquiry, glanced at everyone, and then told him what he knew about the fierce ghost.
When these remarks were made, some of the villagers were frightened, some were puzzled, and some were unbelievable.
"Chief, you said that the ghost may appear at any time after dark, and now that the sun is about to set, what should we do now?" Seeing the various expressions of the villagers, the village chief on the side asked.
"Take your shovels and come with me. ”
Glancing at everyone, Zhou Qing led the group of men in the village to walk outside the village.
When they came to a fairly spacious and flat road not far from the village, Zhou Qing asked everyone to dig a square pit more than a foot deep on the road, and specially instructed them to dig a few feet deeper in the section at the head of the pit.
Due to the large number of people, the pit was not dug deeply, and it didn't take long for the scale of the pit to be dug to a scale that Zhou Qing was satisfied with.
The small village is not as good as the county seat, such as the thick hemp rope and fire oil that Zhou Qing used to trip the ghosts last night, which are not available in this small village.
So he had the villagers dig a hole in the road so that the goblin could kick it into the air and fall to the ground.
Although there is no fire oil in this small village, every household has wine, so Zhou Qing asked the people in the village to divide the wine into various small porcelain bottles and clay pots, and placed them in the soil pits.
Then he laid the pit with dry thatch and on the nearby pavement, and in the middle of the pit he made a path out of thin planks.
When he had done this, it was getting dark, and he told the people of the village to leave the place, and went alone to the little wooden bridge that had come before.
As he had done last night, he was going to use fire to-day, and if the goblin could get into his trap, he would surely die today, for there were no rivers or lakes near the road he had set up for the day.
Of course, apart from the place where fire is used, with Zhou Qing's current ability, there is no other way to destroy that monster that is as solid as stone.
When the night was completely dark, there were a few strange bird cooing sounds in the forest next to the bridge, and Zhou Qing's eyes followed the stream under the bridge and looked in the direction of the lake.
After it got dark, after a long time, the ghost did not appear, which did not make Zhou Qing have some doubts in his heart.
"Could it be that it went somewhere else?"
Asking himself uncertainly, Zhou Qing jumped under the bridge, stepped on the pile of rubble by the stream, and was about to walk towards the lake, when the sound of a huge object moving was heard not far away.
"Brute, you're finally here, I didn't burn you yesterday, I'm going to burn you again today, to see if you can survive as lucky as yesterday. ”
Retreating to the wooden bridge, Zhou Qing picked up a piece of gravel and stared closely at the direction of the lake.
Soon, under the reflection of the moonlight, a huge body appeared in his eyes.
The moment he saw that figure, Zhou Qing directly smashed the stone in his hand, and at the same time let out a loud shout in his mouth.
His actions successfully attracted the attention of the ghosts, and after seeing Zhou Qing on the wooden bridge, the ghosts let out a long angry roar from their mouths, and then strode straight towards Zhou Qing with their steps.
"Come on, brute, and enjoy the second flame I have in store for you. Glancing at the ghosts that were striding in, Zhou Qing took a step directly and ran towards the dirt road that had been set up.
Rushing to the dirt pit, Zhou Qing stopped, because he found that the ghost did not chase after him, which couldn't help but make him a little puzzled.
Confused, he picked up a small bottle of wine from the pit, then took out a talisman and stuck it on the bottle, and then went in the direction of the wooden bridge.
When he came to the bridge, he found that the bridge had been destroyed by the goblin, and on the other side of the bridge, he saw that most of the trees on the side of the road had been broken, and it was clear that the goblin had gone to that end.
From this point, it can be seen that the ghost directly gave up the pursuit of him today after being burned by Zhou Qing last night and chasing him all night to no avail.
