Li Xiuyuan went in and took a look, the inside of this room was slightly better than the outside, but it was not much better, it was damp and dull, a quilt on the wooden couch was black and dirty, he reached out and pinched it, this quilt was wet and cold, it was not warm at all, sleeping in such a place at night, not catching a cold, it was already considered luck.

It's hard to imagine a teenager in his early teens living alone in this environment.

"Dare to ask, where did you heroes come from? At this time, an old man's voice sounded outside the door.

Tie Shan and the other guards kept their mouths shut, not daring to casually reveal their whereabouts, this was ordered by Li Xiuyuan before, for fear that these guards would not be able to keep their mouths tight, and if they leaked their mouths, they would ruin the ransom of this time.

"This old man, we are from Guobei County, passing by here, I heard that your village is demonic, so I came to take a look. ”

Li Xiuyuan immediately walked out of the house, but saw that many men, women, and children in the village had gathered, led by an elderly man with a cane.

"It turned out to be the son of the county, the old man is polite, I am the village head of Dahu Village, Luo Shan, and the people in the village call me Old Man Luo. The old village chief named Luo Shan was a little flattered, and hurriedly gave his hand.

"The old village chief is polite, we disturbed the peace of your village, and please don't be surprised. Li Xiuyuan said politely.

Old man Luo said: "No surprise, no surprise, there have been few outsiders in this Dahu Village over the years, Gongzi is the first guest of this year, we are too late to be happy, how can we meet the strange." He smiled a little embarrassedly.

It seems that it is a shame that no one in my village visits.

However, Li Xiuyuan also understands this mood, it is like this in ancient villages, if outsiders move around diligently, it will definitely make the faces of the people in the village shine, if no one visits the village for a long time, it will inevitably be discussed by some people, thinking that the people in this village are not good.

This is naturally a very humiliating thing for the village.

"By the way, I heard this little brother say before, this Dahu Village is a demon, I don't know if it's true or not?" Li Xiuyuan asked curiously.

Old man Luo sighed: "But isn't it? Gongzi didn't see that big lake, just a few years ago, a water demon suddenly appeared in this lake, the people in the village went to fish in the lake, and the people who washed clothes and vegetables by the lake didn't know how much was eaten by the water demon, there were not a dozen, there were more than twenty, I can't remember clearly, each of them is alive and dead." ”

"Can you tell me more about this?" asked Li Xiuyuan.

"Of course, of course, if this son is interested, he might as well go outside to spread the word in the future, maybe if he is lucky, he will be heard by a master and come to Dahu Village to collect this monster. "When it comes to the monsters in the lake, the old village chief has a sad face.

The other villagers were also sad and helpless.

Others say that family ugliness should not be publicized, but the monster matter in Dahu Village must also be publicized, so that everyone else knows that there are monsters here.

It is not only to play a role in prevention and vigilance, but also to hope that righteous people can come here to get rid of demons after hearing that there are monsters here.

For the people of Dahu Village, there is no way to do it.

Soon, in the evening.

In the open space in the middle of the village of Dahu Village, a bonfire was lit.

Li Xiuyuan also had Tie Shan and other guards, as well as the old villagers of Dahu Village, as well as the villagers of Dahu Village, sitting around.

Old man Luo's wrinkled old face showed a sad look, and he told Li Xiuyuan about the water demon in Dahu Village.

I heard the old village say that there are no monsters in this lake, on the contrary, the fish and shrimp are fatty and the aquatic products are abundant, which allows the villagers of Dahu Village to catch rich fish every year, and the life is comparative, but since one day five years ago.

"That day was terrible, the dark clouds were black and oppressive, the lightning flashed and thundered, the wind blew very strongly, the roofs were lifted, but there was no rain falling, such a strange weather old man I have never seen in my life, how can there be dry thunder, no rain. ”

Old man Luo was holding a teacup, foaming at the stars, looking a little excited: "This situation lasted for a full day and a night, and everything calmed down the next day." ”

"But after that day, the big lake in the village came out of youkai. ”

"I remember that the first accident was Zhang Gen, he was fishing on the lake, and I heard from people on the nearby fishing boat that a huge wave suddenly appeared on the lake and overturned the boat, and Zhang Gen disappeared in a blink of an eye..... At first, I thought it was just an accident, but I didn't know that more and more people died later, until the mother of the little pole, Gan, was washing clothes by the lake and was dragged into the lake by a huge black fish, and at that time I realized that there were monsters in the lake. ”

Speaking of this, Old Man Luo sighed with hatred again.

"If I had known earlier, I wouldn't have killed so many people, what a good man, just fed that damn youkai. ”

As Old Man Luo spoke, Li Xiuyuan and the guards listened quietly.

Hearing the back, Tie Shan and the other guards were also filled with righteous indignation.

"Damn youkai, it's so rampant, eating so many people, I really want to kill that beast alive. ”

"Isn't it, more than 20 lives, just gone. ”

"This monster has suffered such a great sin, isn't he afraid of retribution, doesn't God open his eyes and see it, and kill this beast? ”

More than 20 people were eaten by monsters, which shocked everyone greatly, they live in Guobei County, Guobei County is under the management of the Li family, and it is extremely prosperous, not to mention monsters, there is no such thing as a haunting.

The only monster Li Xiuyuan encountered in Guobei County was the mandrill in Xiahe Village.

But he killed only one person, so that it was not spread and was not known.

"The village chief, Eun Gong said that he has a way to get rid of that monster and avenge us. At this time, the beggar boy from before, the little pole suddenly interjected.

"Oh, is this true?" Old Man Luo looked at Li Xiuyuan with wide eyes.

Seeing that Li Xiuyuan has an extraordinary temperament, and the people under his command are powerful, maybe there is really a way to get rid of this monster.

"Engong, please ask Engong to save Dahu Village. Old man Luo didn't care if he was old or not, so he knelt down with a pop.

"More than 20 people have died, if you don't get rid of that monster, Dahu Village will be finished. I beg for mercy. ”

Li Xiuyuan hurriedly helped Old Man Luo: "Old village chief, what are you doing, aren't you breaking my life, hurry up, hurry up, I have promised that the little pole will eliminate demons for Taihu Village, you don't have to do this." ”

"This, is this true?" Old Man Luo looked at him expectantly.

"Of course, if I don't get rid of this demon this time, I, Li Xiuyuan, won't be out of this Dahu Village. Li Xiuyuan made an oath.

Old man Luo is right, this evil demon is not out, Dahu Village really can't survive.

After some tossing.

Until late at night, the villagers of Dahu Village and the old village chief went back to rest.

Tie Shan and the other two teams of guards were also placed in the villagers' homes to rest, and the best room was vacated for Li Xiuyuan to settle down.

But Li Xiuyuan didn't feel sleepy.

"Tieshan, follow me to Taihu Lake. At night, Li Xiuyuan spoke.

"Yes, Childe. ”

Iron Mountain, who was in charge of the vigil, answered.

The weather is not bad tonight, and under the moonlight, you can see clearly on the road.

Li Xiuyuan is not blindfolded, which is the so-called night blindness, but if he is a blindfolded person, he doesn't want to go out this night.

When he came to the lake, he saw the wind gusting by the lake, the spirit flags swaying with the wind, and the wet figures standing in the lake, looking at Li Xiuyuan and Tieshan in a daze.

The figures are both male and female, and they all seem to be villagers of Dahu Village.

"Do you become a water ghost after death?" Li Xiuyuan's eyes moved slightly.

"The old village chief is right, there are indeed many deaths in the village. ”

"Young Master, what are you looking at?" Tie Shan asked curiously when he saw Li Xiuyuan looking at the front motionlessly.

Li Xiuyuan said: "I'm looking at those unjust souls who died in vain. ”

With that, he walked forward.

He saw a water ghost reaching out to grab the sacrifice by the lake, but he couldn't reach the sacrifice because he couldn't leave the lake.

"Water spirits can't get out of the water. Li Xiuyuan thought in his heart.

"Since you are the villagers of Dahu Village, why don't you go and reincarnate. He walked over and laid the sacrificial food forward.

As soon as the water ghost grabbed it, it seemed that a mass of smell floated out, and he sucked it into his mouth, and then he looked like he was full of wine and food.

Ghosts don't eat, they only eat smells.

That's what his cheap master said, ghost food.

The water ghosts looked at Li Xiuyuan in surprise, as if they didn't expect Li Xiuyuan to actually find themselves.

"We are all controlled by the water demon, and we can't be reincarnated, even if the ghost is sent, we can't take away our souls, we can only be water ghosts here. A female water ghost said.

"The water demon said that only if we pull a person into the water and drown him, will we be allowed to leave and be reincarnated. ”

"Yes, but this lake is full of our relatives and friends, how can we bear to drag them into the water and drown. ”

The other water ghosts couldn't bear to say.
