Hearing the shout, Ning Xiaotang couldn't help but stop.

He was slightly curious in his heart, and asked, "Excuse me, why can't you go forward?"

The man in the house replied, "Childe, don't ask more. Listen to me, don't go over, you'd better leave the village, and don't wander around the village at night!"

When he first entered the village, Ning Xiaotang felt that this village was a little strange. Now that he heard the owner of the house say this, he was even more curious.

"Why is this?" Ning Xiaotang asked, "What's more, it's getting late at this time, there is no village in front of here, there is no shop in the back, if you leave here, you can only sleep in the wilderness." ”

"Can I make it easier for me to spend the night in the next night, and I can pay for some accommodation. ”

The other party's room was quiet all of a sudden, but the candle flame was not extinguished, and it seemed that the other party was hesitating.

Immediately afterward, there was another sound of rustling in the room, as if something was being discussed.

After a long while, the closed wooden door of the house was opened with a "squeak~~", and a head poked out of it.

It was an old man in his fifties, with white hair, a face full of wrinkles, and a pair of cloudy eyes, looking at Ning Xiaotang with a little vigilance.

Seeing that Ning Xiaotang was just a young boy, and he had clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes, and he didn't look like some big traitor, the old man breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.

He walked out from behind the door and said, "This son, please come in." ”

Ning Xiaotang arched his hand and thanked him: "Thank you, old man." ”

After Ning Xiaotang walked into the house, the old man quickly closed the wooden door, as if there was some man-eating beast outside.

The room was very simple, with a wooden table in the middle, and the kitchen was on the side, and an old woman was cooking, probably the old man's wife.

Seeing Ning Xiaotang come in, the old woman looked at Ning Xiaotang curiously, then lowered her head and cooked by herself.

"The house is simple, this boy, please sit down. The old man came over and said, "I don't know what to call the son?"

Ning Xiaotang said: "In Xia Ning Xiaotang." ”

The old man said: "It turned out to be Ning Gongzi, looking at Ning Gongzi's dress, he should be a scholar." This village is actually quite remote, how could Ning Gongzi come here?"

Ning Xiaotang said: "Don't hide it, old man, I was about to go to Yangzhou, passing by the treasure land, and seeing that it was getting late, I planned to spend the night in your village." ”

The old man nodded and said, "I see." ”

Ning Xiaotang asked, "Uncle, why did I see that the doors and windows of every house were closed when I entered the village?" And once I knocked on the other party's door, the other party immediately extinguished the candle, and no matter how I shouted outside, the other party did not answer. Is there something going on here?"

The old man sighed and said, "Something bad has indeed happened in this village. ”

Ning Xiaotang said: "I don't know what happened, can the old man tell me more specifically? And the old man just told me not to go any further, is it also related to this?"

The old man nodded and said, "That's right." Since Childe asked, I'll tell you about the old man. ”

"Our village, called Yujia Village, has a total of 73 households. The house that Gongzi was going to just now was a big family in our village, Yu Xingcai's home. Yu Xingcai did business outside in his early years and made a lot of money. Later, because of his age, he returned to Yujia Village five years ago. Although Yu Xingcai is rich, he is not overbearing. If any family in the village is in difficulty, he will also help some, and he can be said to be a very kind person. ”

"Two years ago, a distant nephew of Yu Xingcai came to take refuge in him, and some bad things began to appear in that year. Yu Xingcai's family has seven people, plus some subordinates, and the whole family has a total of thirteen people. Originally, Yu Xingcai would go out every day to chat with the old people in the village, until one day, Yu Xingcai never came out of his house again. No, I should say that I never said a word to everyone again. ”

Ning Xiaotang asked suspiciously, "Then what happened to Yu Xingcai?"

The old man said: "We didn't know at first, but later, it was two subordinates from his family who ran out, and we knew that something had happened to Yu Xingcai's family." ”

"Except for those two subordinates, the remaining eleven members of his family were all cast by Yu Xingcai's distant nephew, and their souls were hooked. ”

Ning Xiaotang frowned and said, "Hooked souls, all killed?"

The old man shook his head and said, "It's not that I've been killed, people are still alive, but they all have souls." ”

"People are still alive, but they don't have souls?" Ning Xiaotang was a little confused, "Uncle, can you tell me what the specific situation is?"

(Twelve o'clock is here again, crying...... It's still the same, let's change it first, I'll continue to write, this chapter is not over yet)
