The sound of burning grease in the campfire echoed through the silent village. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Hao Chen nodded apologetically at first, and then looked firmly into the other party's eyes.

The tense atmosphere lasted for about ten seconds, Hao Chen's heart was blocked in his throat, he didn't feel this way when facing Zhang Xutuo and Lao Long before, but now he thought about it like a dream, but these people in front of him were not dreams.

He is not a system holder. Elder Drum reminded Hao Chen, just when the village chief pinched his shoulder, Elder Drum realized from the strength of his hands that the reason for his strength was not through cultivation, but the strength tempered by years of rough work and heavy work.

Since he is not the holder, there is no need for Hao Chen to use force casually, not to mention that the situation in front of him is not without room for reversal.

"Curiosity is not a good thing. The village chief had something to say, and he said it clearly, according to common sense, seeing this kind of thing, hiding back must be the best choice. But Hao Chen had just seen the big black man in the mountain with two Shi Liukou, and when he came back, he encountered the mysterious sacrificial activities in the village, which made him not curious.

"I'm sorry!" Hao Chen didn't say much, it was useless to say more, and it was easy to anger the other party if he said too much.

The village chief listened, sighed, and shook his head.

"Maybe it's also a kind of fate. The topic of saber rattling just now instantly turned into nothingness, and the surrounding villagers looked at each other, and their expressions gradually relaxed.

"I just scared you. The village chief's smile was obviously softer, not at all like the situation just now, and after saying that, he walked down the steps with his crutches and stopped next to his grandson Shi Xiang.

"In the afternoon, this kid met you outside the house smoking and said that you ran to the back mountain, but it scared me and the sixth child. The village chief patted Shi Xiang on the shoulder and looked at his grandson with a kind face.

"You also know from the sixth child that there have been people dead in the Houshan mine, and today happens to be their death day. After speaking, the village chief looked back at the bonfire, and then at the villagers, all with sad expressions on their faces.

The village chief said that Shi Xiang grew up in the mountains since he was a child, and his feet were fast, and as soon as Hao Chen came back, he ran to the old mine in the back mountain, and sure enough, he saw that the pile of stones was gone, so he suspected that Hao Chen had done something.

At first, they didn't know the origin of the stone pile, and Shi Liu's wife died, and when they went back to the mine to get the stones, they knew that the stone pile could not be moved.

"What will happen if you move?" Hao Chen felt goosebumps when he remembered that the stones he had moved in the afternoon were still lying in the system bag.

"Shame on people, loss of livestock. The village chief looked at the cow behind him, which was about to be burned, and his eyes showed a hint of fear.

"What do you say?" he had just seen two big black men moving stones and piling graves, but he didn't see them wandering around the village, and then he thought, no, just digging stones and piling graves, where did the smell of blood come from?

Suddenly realized, Hao Chen's head also oozed fine beads of sweat.

What are you going to do when you pile up a grave?

What do you need for the sacrifice?

"Last time, Shi Liu took a few stones, and the next day Shi Chenhui's two cows disappeared, and the villages and mountains could not be found, and on the third day, the little stone man of Shizhu's family disappeared. The village chief pointed to the boy who looked to be thirteen or fourteen years old standing beside the stone pillar, and his voice was a little choked.

"Soul loss!" Elder Drum reminded Hao Chen.

At this time, Hao Chen realized that the child's eyes were a little wrong, empty, and looked directly at the bonfire in front of him. And the stone pillar standing beside him, his right hand clenched into a fist, and his left hand tightly grasped the child's hand, he looked at the boy standing beside him, his eyes were resentful and painful.

"When Little Stone came back, it was three days later in the middle of the night, and he suddenly appeared at the door of his house, and that's it. The village chief paused.

“...... Because I moved the pile, you guys?"

"What? You're moving, too?"

"Thunderstruck!"

"Hey......"

Hearing Hao Chen say that he had also moved the stone pile, the villagers immediately panicked, and turned their heads to each other, showing frightened expressions, obviously the terrible memories after the last accident were still in the minds of these people.

"Quiet, quiet!" the village chief tapped his cane.

"Today is the death day of those children in the mining disaster, every year, but it just so happens that you went to the back mountain today. He continued.

The small complaints did not stop completely, and the village chief didn't pay attention to it, just looked at Hao Chen, and his face was a little more sad.

"Didn't you call the police when the child disappeared?" Hao Chen didn't expect that such a strange thing would happen in this mountain village that happened by chance.

"I reported it, and the police in the county also sent someone to help find it all over the mountain, but who wants to ...... Hey" The village chief looked at the lost child with a regretful expression.

"The monster told the police too?"

"Well, the police don't believe us. ”

In such a closed mountain village, there will be familiar gods wandering around, Hao Chen doesn't understand, since these weird things are related to the mines in the back mountain, why not seal them or find someone to get rid of those two monsters, but instead sacrifice the whole village every year. But that's not all.

Hao Chen remembered that when he had dinner before, the village chief and Shi Liu chatted in the courtyard for a while, and he didn't think much about it at that time, but in front of him, only Shi Liu was not present in the whole village.

"Where's Uncle Shi?"

"He ......," the village chief didn't continue, he looked at the villagers behind him.

"He's a thief with a weak heart! If it's not him, how could my family's stone become like this!" Shi Zhu was furious, he blamed Shi Liu for running to the old mine and harming his children, and Hao Chen might bring some disaster this time.

“......”

It seems that the matter of moving the stone pile is destined to be a trouble, it is good that nothing happens, once he loses the livestock, Hao Chen will become the second target.

The top priority is to get rid of those two monsters.

"In that case, I'll keep vigil in the village today!" Hao Chen stood up, patted the soil on his buttocks, stretched his waist widely, and took out his fully charged mobile phone in the bucket, just half past three, if the monster wants to take revenge on the village and take away the sacrifices, it will definitely take advantage of the dawn.

"What are you talking about?" Hao Chen said suddenly, and the village chief looked at him suspiciously.

"I mean, the big guy should go back to rest early. Hao Chen deliberately added a little strength to his hand and patted the village chief on the shoulder.

Without waiting for the village chief to speak again, Hao Chen kicked his right foot hard, rushed out like an arrow, and disappeared in front of everyone in an instant.

Hao Chen didn't bother to explain to them, since destroying the stone pile would attract monsters out of the mountain to find sacrifices, it was better to send them to the door himself and make a preemptive strike.

At full speed, Hao Chen stood at the foot of the mountain again after a while, but as soon as he landed and was about to go up the mountain, he heard footsteps from the bushes on the mountain, one in front and one behind, it should be those two monsters.

Coming to find a sacrifice again so soon? Thinking of the smell of blood, Hao Chen felt sick to his stomach.

He found a tree to lie in ambush behind, quietly waiting for the two monsters to approach. After a while, one tall and one short, one in front of one and one behind, two monsters with long arms and legs walked down the mountain quickly.

Their walking posture is very strange, and from a distance it looks like they have no bone support, swaying and terrifying.

Hao Chen didn't want to start a battle so close to the village, so he either lured the two goods somewhere else, or pulled them back to the old mine.

A little weighed, or the old mine is more convenient.

Hao Chen paid attention to it, and Zi Yan held it in his hand again, but his purpose now was not to fight, but to lead, so while the two monsters had not yet arrived, Hao Chen took the lead and stood about 50 meters away from them.

"HI, do you want to know who moved your grave?" Zi Yan carried it on his shoulder, and Hao Chen crossed his waist with one hand, looking contemptuous and provocative.

The two monsters saw that a person suddenly popped out in front of them, first they froze in place, and the tall one tilted his head that couldn't distinguish his face at all, and reacted for a while, as if he remembered something, and suddenly waved his noodle-like hands and strode towards Hao Chen.

This action, put in a horror movie, is absolutely full of screams in the theater.

Hao Chen's hairs stood up from top to bottom, and he was not in a hurry when he saw it coming, and slowly took a sideways step to the side, dodging the tall arm that was picked off.

Seeing that he was not fighting, the tall man did not turn his head or turn sideways, in this and that posture, the other arm was swept sideways, Hao Chen still didn't fight back, he jumped forward and back, dodging and dodging, just not letting the monster fight.

The short one didn't move, like a crowd of onlookers, tilting his head, turning to Hao Chen for a while, and turning to the tall man for a while, as if thinking about something.

Just as Hao Chen dodged the fourth attack, the short man's feet were forced, jumped up like a spring, and landed in front of Hao Chen without a sound.
