It was a young woman covered in mud and grass clippings, her belly bulging high and pregnant.

The woman slowly raised her face, and a pair of eyes on her face stained by yellow mud revealed a strong desire to survive:

"Help me, help me!"

She held out a hand toward the trio.

The sword in Yu Niang's hand was about to be pulled out, and although Gongliangyi's body did not move, his eyes were also full of vigilance.

Jiang Yuan stood up, helped the woman to sit down by the fire, and then closed the door of the ancestral hall, and finally came to the woman's side and asked:

"Madame, what's wrong with you?"

The young woman was shivering with cold, and she kept moving closer to the fire. His face was frightened and his lips trembled, and he didn't know if he had heard Jiang Yuan's words.

Yu Niang couldn't help but whispered:

"Jiang Gongzi!"

Jiang Yuan smiled and said:

"I'm very sympathetic, how can I bear to see a pregnant woman in distress?"

Jiang Yuan didn't feel the breath of the demon, and when he picked up the woman, Jiang Yuan also secretly pressed his hand on the woman's abdomen, obviously the big belly was not cheating.

As the fire dispelled the cold little by little, the woman slowly came to her senses, and she whispered, "Thank you......"

Before Jiang Yuan could answer, the woman's hand full of yellow mud suddenly grabbed Jiang Yuan's sleeve again:

"They're chasing me!I'm not going back!Don't go back!Ah——!hh

The woman who had just calmed down suddenly became crazy again, Jiang Yuan helplessly pulled her hand away, and then moved away from the woman, still screaming frantically by her.

After a while, the woman calmed down again, she was crazy for a while, clear for a while, and her spirit seemed to be unstable.

The torrential rain continued to fall, and as the night wore on, the dampness and cold around it became heavier.

The fire crackled, and smoke poured out along the broken corner of the ancestral hall.

After a long silence, the woman slowly raised her head and looked at the room through her stray hair for a while.

Gong Liangyi seemed to have discovered that the woman was not a threat, and continued to close his eyes and recuperate.

And Yu Niang's hand still firmly grasped the hilt of the sword, without the slightest relaxation.

The woman finally turned her gaze to Jiang Yuan, hesitated, she got up and came to Jiang Yuan's side:

"Childe...... Excuse me...... Is there anything to eat?"

Jiang Yuan touched his body, and there were some dry food, he took it out and handed it to the woman.

The woman grabbed the dry food and devoured it, as if she hadn't eaten for a long time, and when she choked because she swallowed it too quickly, Jiang Yuan stretched out his hand and patted her on the back, and took the cup on the table to take some rainwater for her to drink.

After eating the dry food, the woman finally had some spirits.

She looked at Jiang Yuan and asked in a low voice:

"Childe...... Can you ...... Take me away?"

Jiang Yuan smiled:

"I'm sorry ma'am, I'm not very convenient. ”

The woman began to plead:

"Childe, I'm willing to do anything, just take me away and send me home! I beg you!"

Jiang Yuan began to get impatient, and he was a little kind, and this woman stared at herself, why didn't she go to Gongliangyi or Yu Niang.

So Jiang Yuan grabbed Xu Shanding's head on the side and lifted it in front of him, and said:

"Come with me, that's what happened. ”

The woman was unguarded when she saw a dead human head, and she immediately screamed in fright, and at the same time kept shrinking back, quickly moving away from Jiang Yuan.

Jiang Yuan threw the head away, if she didn't scare her, she would really entangle herself.

The ancestral hall soon fell silent again, and the woman shrank in the corner shivering, not knowing whether it was due to fear or cold.

The sound of the rain outside gradually became quieter, and the torrential rain became dripping.

The rainwater leaking from the roof spread to the vicinity of Jiang Yuan, and he had to move his position, while hoping that he would be able to see a good weather when it was dawn.

The woman began to cry in the corner, her voice mournful and mournful.

After a burst of crying, Gongliangyi began to get irritable, and he said loudly:

"If you want to cry, get out there and cry!"

The woman trembled with fright, covered her mouth in horror, and did not dare to make any more sounds.

Jiang Yuan shook his head and smiled, not bothering to care. Yu Niang also began to feel that the woman was not threatened, and the sword in her hand was slowly put down.

The long night passed very slowly, but it was not destined to be peaceful.

A rush of footsteps began to sound in the rainy night, and there seemed to be a lot of people coming, and they kept coming towards the ancestral hall.

The woman, who was already quiet, suddenly let out a frightened scream:

"They're coming! It's them! Help me, help me!"

She didn't care about anyone anymore, and quickly dodged towards Jiang Yuan's side.

"Bang dang!"

The door of the ancestral hall was slammed open from the outside, and a crowd of people poured in.

These people were wearing hats and robes to protect themselves from the rain, and the clothes inside looked like ordinary villagers, the only difference was that their faces were all white, a sickly white.

The leader was a young man, he took off the hat on his head and glanced around the ancestral hall, and finally focused his gaze on Jiang Yuan's body:

"She's my mother. ”

And the woman shrank behind Jiang Yuan, holding Jiang Yuan's clothes tightly:

"Don't come!

The man took a step forward and continued to say to Jiang Yuan:

"My lady has hysteria and has gone crazy. She ran out of the house in the middle of the night, and we looked for her in the middle of the night. Now I want to take her back, this brother please don't stop her. ”

Gong Liangyi's eyes didn't know when they had opened, and he seemed to be thoughtful.

And Yu Niang also clenched the long sword again.

Jiang Yuan smiled, turned sideways and let go of the woman.

Several villagers walked out of the young man's side and grabbed the woman.

The woman panicked, and she firmly grasped Jiang Yuan's clothes:

"Please, please, don't let them take me, they'll eat me and the baby in my belly! Please!"

Jiang Yuan turned a deaf ear and pushed the woman's hand away, still carried the woman away by the villagers.

A villager suddenly caught a glimpse of a human head on the ground, his eyes began to flash with greed, his mouth opened slightly, and he stretched out his hand and quickly grabbed the human head.

"Put it down!" Gongliang Yi said coldly, "That's mine." ”

Seeing the head, the expressions of the villagers in the ancestral hall began to become strange.

Their eyes were drawn to the head, their breathing began to become rapid, and their throats swallowed saliva.

One of the villagers licked his lips and said:

"We pay for it. ”

Gongliang Yi replied coldly:

"You can't afford it. ”

All the villagers stepped forward in unison, their eyes beginning to become fierce.

Yu Niang stood up from the ground suddenly, and the long sword in her hand was already unsheathed.

The young man at the head said at this time:

"Forget it, let's go. ”

The villagers reluctantly followed the man away, and the last villager also put the head away, and when he left, he stuffed his blood-stained fingers into his mouth and sucked continuously.

As the villagers left, the woman's miserable cry grew farther and farther away, and was finally drowned out by the sound of the rain.

The ancestral hall was quiet again.

Jiang Yuan closed his eyes and began to sleep, and Gongliangyi was the same.

After being silent for a while, Yu Niang finally couldn't help but say:

"The villagers...... Problematic!"

However, no one paid any attention to her.

Yu Niang Dai frowned slightly, and she asked Jiang Yuan:

"Aren't you sympathetic, why didn't you save that pregnant woman?"

Jiang Yuan closed his eyes and kept silent, not saying a word.

Yu Niang snorted a little angrily, and then also leaned against the wall and closed her eyes.

The ancestral hall fell silent, and as time passed, everyone seemed to fall asleep.

The sound of the rain outside was getting quieter and quieter, and it was almost inaudible at the back.

At this time, Gongliangyi suddenly opened his eyes and stood up from the corner.

He slowly glanced at Jiang Yuan and Yu Niang coldly for a while, and then opened the door of the ancestral hall and walked into the wet and cold rainy night.

The ancestral hall seems to have returned to calm.

After a while, Yu Niang also opened her eyes.

She stared at Jiang Yuan, who was sleeping opposite, with a pair of beautiful eyes, as if she was waiting for something.

However, after a long time, Jiang Yuan still did not make the slightest movement.

Doubts and impatience flashed in Yu Niang's eyes, and finally she got up, as light as a white cat, and left the ancestral hall.

After the two of them came to drive, Jiang Yuan suddenly sat up:

"Interesting ......"

The group of villagers who came in before all had a cold aura on their bodies.

The breath is very close to that of demons and ghosts, but it still smells of a living person. It gave Jiang Yuan the feeling that it was like when the ghost qi entered the body, but it had not been eroded by the ghost qi and transformed into a demon.

The villagers are wrong, even Yu Niang, an ordinary martial artist, is aware of it, and it is impossible for Gong Liangyi, who is a child of a public family, not to find out.

But Gong Liangyi has not moved and reacted, which makes Jiang Yuan curious.

He secretly guessed that there were only two possibilities for Gongliang to do this: one was that he didn't want to meddle in his affairs, and the other was ...... Cast a long line to catch big fish.

The departure of Gong Liangyi also proves that the second point is the most likely.

Gong Liangyi is a person who reveals a mystery all over his body, obviously has the power of inheritance, but he still cultivates internal strength. has a noble identity, but he also disguises himself as a warrior to join the gang. deliberately let the villagers go, but followed them in the dark.

This made Jiang Yuan feel that the temperaments of Gongliangyi and Yu Niang were similar to a certain extent. That's the kind of temperament that only people who are constantly exploring and peeping into all kinds of secrets have.

Yu Niang is cautious and cautious, while Gongliangyi seems to have a faint indifference to everything.

I don't care about being tracked down, I don't care about being discovered, I don't care about arousing suspicion. Jiang Yuan didn't know if this was because he was bold and bold.

Gongliangyi's departure was still expected by Jiang Yuan, and Yu Niang's departure made Jiang Yuan a little surprised.

But he is also relieved, an undercover intelligence officer like Yu Niang has a natural curiosity about secrets. Although Yu Niang is good at patience and disguise, when the villagers are about to go far away and it is difficult to track, Yu Niang finally can't hold back.

Jiang Yuan himself was also full of curiosity about the villagers.

So many villagers were all infected by the ghost qi, and the speed at which the ghost qi eroded them was very slow, which was very different from other situations Jiang Yuan had encountered.

Behind them, there must be a demon who is willing to give.

Jiang Yuan also likes such a demon who will not be stingy with ghosts.

He stood up and moved for a moment, then walked towards the outside of the ancestral hall as well.

He felt that it was time for supper.
