"Don't wait, grandpa isn't here" Hu Li walked to the courtyard and said to the crooked melon man who was standing there honestly, and a trace of suspicion flashed in the crooked melon man's persistent eyes after hearing this.

"You don't think I'm lying to you, do you?" said Hu Li.

The crooked melon man didn't care about such an inquiry at first, but after a few seconds, his face was serious, and his expression was a little sad, and after he glanced at the village chief's house a few times, he turned around and ran out of the yard.

At first, they thought that the crooked man knew where the village chief was, but after following him through several houses, he was led to a very dilapidated house, made of wood and grass, and the mess of the house permeated with a sense of desolation.

"What are you doing here, you said you were going to leave here today" Xiaozhi looked at the crooked melon man, and was deflated when he saw that he didn't see the village chief.

"Erha and the scroll are gone, how to go" Hu Lili replied to Xiao Zhi while keeping her eyes on the crooked man, because she always felt that something had happened to the man in front of her.

Sure enough, something really happened.

I saw the crooked melon man walk into the house, and took out a plush black and white thing covered in blood from inside, Hu Li's eyes looked at it carefully, and then he was startled, and rushed to him suddenly, blocking his way.

The black and white hair was stained with blood, and from the crooked man's arms, he could see that there were large sections of intestines and flesh that had been turned up by disembowelment.

Hu Carp panicked, and his brain went blank.

"Where did this dog come from?"

"I, my" was startled by the Hu carp that rushed out so suddenly, and the crooked melon man stuttered for a while.

"Why do you have a black and white dog, it makes my heart pound"

"This dog was picked up by the village chief when he went out, I finally raised it so big, I didn't expect it to become like this morning" The crooked melon man began to sobb in a low voice as he spoke, for a lonely person, this dog seemed to have feelings that he could not let go.

Hu Li breathed a sigh of relief, although things were not as she thought, but the dog's death was a little cruel. At this moment the twig stepped forward and looked around the dead dog, and then she went into the house again, and after a while came out thoughtfully.

"There is a strange atmosphere, although I don't know what it is, but it is certain that the death of this dog is definitely not man-made," said Koedhi.

"You mean......" Hu Lili instantly understood the meaning of the twig, that is, eighty percent of the dog's death was caused by the same kind.

But when the crooked melon man heard this, as if he had seen a ghost, his eyes swirled and floated around, and he hurriedly hugged the dog to the side and turned his back to Hu Carp and the others.

"The cause of the dog's death is obvious, it was torn apart by its claws, and judging from its expression, it was not painful at all when it died, it was obviously an illusion" Twig walked to the front of the crooked melon man, trying to get a better understanding of the body, but his hand was just about to reach for the body but he dodged it.

"Don't you want to know what killed it, this dog seems to be very important to you," Twig looked at the crooked man who was now bowing his head, he was obviously in deep pain.

"What's the use of knowing" The crooked melon man gradually turned around, his long hair drooping in his ears, although his face was ugly, but his heart was at least not born from his face.

"We can help you" Hu Li's heart softened for a while, looking at such a vulnerable person, she would always flood with a cheap love.

"I mean, we actually know some fur spells, and my father is a Taoist who makes a living by catching demons, so we know a little bit about it."

"Really?" the crooked man looked up, incredulous for confirmation from their faces.

After a while, Xiaozhi had to nod helplessly according to Hu Carp's chaotic temperament, and she immediately attached her hand to the dog's body.

"What I feel from the wound is indeed demonic energy, but this qi seems to be different from what I usually encounter."

"What's the difference?" asked Hu Li

"I can't say it either, but it always feels weird"

In the face of Xiaozhi's speculation, in addition to grief, the crooked melon man began to feel a little uneasy on his face, and this extremely sensitive expression happened to be bumped into by Hu Carp.

"Is there any secret in your village?" asked Hu Li

When the crooked melon man heard this, his face was even more nervous to the point of twitching, and he stammered and said slowly: "Don't hide it, village, there is always a female ghost in the village who is disturbing our lives recently."

"For some reason, the female ghost always attacks our village chief's house, every ten days, and although we are not hurt by her every time, the female ghost is very powerful, she destroys the crops in our neighborhood, and wants us to have nothing to eat."

"According to you, your dog was killed by that female ghost?"

"Probably not, it's only been seven days since she last came," the crooked melon man said with great conviction.

"It's likely that the female ghost has changed the frequency of coming here," Hu Li speculated, a trace of doubt flashed in his heart, usually the ghost would not take the initiative to provoke a mortal with sufficient yang energy, either a dying person, or a female ghost who had offended him.

"It can't be a female ghost, there is a demonic aura on this wound" Xiaozhi does not approve of the female ghost killing the dog, and she can still distinguish the yin and demonic qi of the ghost.

"That's what hurt it, this dog has been with me since I was ten years old, we are like relatives, its life was ended like this, I didn't even see it for the last time, since you know magic, please help me, even if I die, I'm willing" The crooked melon man said this, and became emotional, a dog's life is actually the same as his own, just looking at it reminds people of his loneliness and all the things he has lived with over the years.
