In the morning, in the village, wisps of black smoke floated into the sky.

The old village chief sat on the stone steps, his face covered with ash, his head bowed, and he didn't know what to think.

His son came to his side and whispered, "Daddy?"

The old village chief raised his head, revealing bloodshot cloudy eyes: "How's it going?"

"Three houses were burned, and the bamboo forest to the east was also burned, but fortunately, the fire was extinguished. ”

"What about casualties?"

"More than two dozen wounded, one dead, one seriously wounded. Wu Ershi was hit and killed by a pig, Wu Niu's feet were scratched, and he lost too much blood, and he was just rescued. ”

"Shame, shame!" the old village chief was heartbroken: "I ask them to practice on weekdays, but they don't pay attention to the drills, and they often steal and play tricks, but now it's okay, two or three hundred people, and they can't catch one of them, but they are played by others!"

The old village chief's son bowed his head, and he was one of the lazy people.

The old village chief couldn't say any more. This drill is also practiced every year during the slack season, and it is just a formality, and he himself doesn't pay much attention to it.

After all, there is a white wolf general, and no one dares to mess with their village. And now, well, the problem is exposed. Two or three hundred young men have been tricked all night and made them disgraced. As a result, the person didn't catch it, and he didn't even know when the other party ran away, and his own loss was not small.

"Village chief, village chief, it's not good. A hunter ran over panting: "Your sister is gone!"

"What?" said the old village chief, standing up.

Before he could ask, another villager ran over: "Village chief, village chief, many wolves have come to the entrance of the village." ”

The old village chief took a deep breath, gritted his teeth and said, "How about the three people who were caught last night?"

"It's still closed. ”

The old village chief breathed a sigh of relief: "Take them to the entrance of the village." ”

At the entrance of the village, more than 20 wolves gathered here, standing, sitting or lying, scattered, not far from each other.

The old village chief took more than a dozen people and pushed Wang Yingying and other three people to the entrance of the village. Suddenly, Wang Yingying's pupils shrank and retreated again and again. But behind them, there were constantly villagers pushing and pushing, so that they could not retreat, and were even pushed to stagger a few steps forward.

A wolf walked up, sniffed the scent of the three men, turned his head, and howled. Then, two dozen wolves surrounded him.

Wang Yingying and the other three were sweating, they had seen the ferocity of these wild wolves. And now its own situation is ten times more serious than being defenseless, where is the opponent of this group of wolves.

So, naturally, they were driven away by this group of wolves, and they moved away from the village in the screams of the wolves.

Seeing them leave, the old village chief wiped the sweat from his forehead and said to the people beside him: "We can't let go of the two people, a man and a woman, now notify the surrounding counties and townships, once these two people are found, there will be a heavy reward." By the way, the crazy woman also offered a bounty by the way. ”

......

"Auntie, are you okay?"

By a river, the big black horse bowed his head to graze, Cai Wei helped the crazy woman, and the crazy woman waved her hands tremblingly, not wanting to speak.

Carried by the big black horse, he ran like a lightning gallop for most of the night, and the big black horse had actually regained his speed, so he wasn't very tired. However, the crazy woman couldn't stand it anymore.

Although she is only over 40, the poor family is aging quickly, and she has suffered all her life, so she is hunched over at the moment and is injured. was upside down in the middle of the night, and the whole person almost fell apart. And because I haven't ridden a horse, especially the inside of my legs, it's hot and painful.

Now, there is an urgent need for a reprie.

The big black horse suddenly raised his head and hissed at the woods.

Cai Wei hurriedly turned over and pulled out a black short knife. Her sword had been lost, so she was using the short knife of Devil Cry at the moment. The dagger was heavy, so she held it in both hands.

Out of the woods came a tall man, with a few dead leaves on his head, his eyes as narrow as knives, and his clothes were tattered, revealing the cold armor inside. He had a bow on his back, an quiver at his waist, a long knife in his hand, and a gray trouser belt around his shoulder like a snake.

This person, isn't it a ghost crying or who?

"Big brother ghost!" Cai Wei breathed a sigh of relief.

Ghost Cry nodded at her, turned his head a little awkwardly, looked at the crazy woman, and suddenly felt much more relaxed. The crazy woman is exhausted, and the attraction to him is almost none, so he can look like the crazy woman very normally: "How are we going next?" ”

The crazy woman thumped her legs, and instead of seeing the ghost cry, she pointed to the river in front of her: "Follow this river, go down." ”

When she looked up and looked like a ghost crying, the big mouth quickly lay down, and the crazy woman looked at the ghost crying strangely, a little curious why he put the belt of his trousers on his shoulders.

However, I didn't ask after all. After all, these days, it's not normal to have a habit that is different from ordinary people!

The further downstream you go, the slower the river becomes, and the wider it becomes. Tributaries continue to join the river, and the flow of water is increasing.

After walking more than ten miles, a lonely wooden house by the river appeared in front of the three of them.

The crazy woman had a smile on her face: "Let's go, let's go." ”

The wooden houses are very simple, with thatched roofs and wooden throughout. The logs underneath are supported by logs, allowing the whole wooden house to lift off the ground. Wooden steps connected to the doorway, and the entire wooden door was estimated to be five or six feet above the ground.

As Ghost Cry walked ahead, he saw from afar that the wooden door was locked, and asked, "Do you have a key?"

The crazy woman shook her head: "There is no key, just break the door and go in." ”

Cai Wei stuck out her tongue, this lady is really tough.

Devil Cry shook his head and walked up the steps. After looking at the lock, the demonic aura burst out, the muscles bulged, and the lock was torn off with a hard pull.

Then he pushed the door open and saw a skull nailed to the wall.

The facial features of the head are human heads, but the skin is white and swollen, the eyes are round like frogs, there are no pupils, only the whites of the eyes, and the long hair is miserable green like aquatic plants, which hangs down indiscriminately. It's not so much a human head as a water ghost head.

At the center of the eyebrows of the water ghost's head, there was a hole that penetrated the entire skull. Oni Cry stepped forward, looked at its scars, and thought it should be an arrow wound. This injury was definitely caused by the close range of shots from the strong bow and crossbow, otherwise it would not have been possible to penetrate this solid skull.

But even so, it can be seen that the owner of this house is by no means an ordinary person, and ordinary people don't have the courage to attack the water ghost.

Behind him there was the sound of footsteps, creaking on the wooden stairs.

The ghost cried back, and Cai Wei walked in with the crazy woman. The crazy woman sat on the bed, hammered her legs, looking at the humble room, and gradually smiled on her face.

The ghost cried, "Now, can you tell me some secrets about Baigu Village?"

The crazy woman nodded, the originally happy smile on her face gradually became hideous, and said: "Of course, the old woman wishes that the more people who know these secrets, the better, but I didn't have a chance to say it before, and even if I did, no one would believe it." ”

"Oh?" Devil Cry smiled, "You think I'll believe it?"

"You will believe, because your horse is not simple. For some things that are not simple, of course I will believe. Even if you don't believe it, it's okay. When you encounter that fog, when you walk into the mountain temple, you are destined to be the enemy of Baigu Village. ”
