"You live in the same house as the missing Li Fu?" Zhou You turned his attention to another servant.
"Yes, young hero." The servant nodded with horror on his face.
"Did you hear anything?" Zhou You asked softly.
"I was so asleep just now, but I vaguely heard a sound like water droplets." The servant was a little unsure.
Zhou You narrowed his eyes slightly.
The sound of water drops....
In other words, the servant managed to escape the disaster because he was so sleepy.
As for the unlucky guy named Li Fu, I'm afraid the odds are against him.
"What's going on? Who made the scream just now?"
At this time, Magistrate Ma also hurriedly walked out of the house in front with Master Tang and four guards.
The village was not big, and Magistrate Ma could see a few people standing outside the house at a glance, so he quickly came over to check the situation.
"Did you also hear the scream?" Zhou You asked.
"Of course, I am not deaf. The screams were like killing a pig, and they woke me up immediately." Magistrate Ma patted his big belly, looking a little depressed.
No one will be in a good mood if someone wakes them up in the middle of the night.
"Yes, that scream is simply creepy..." Master Tang looked a little scared.
"That's strange... We all heard the scream, why didn't the villagers hear it?" Zhou You looked calm and suddenly said something.
As soon as these words came out, everyone froze on the spot, as if time had stopped at this moment.
Everyone's face became extremely pale, as if they had thought of something, and their bodies were trembling slightly.
Especially the wealthy young lady was so frightened that her legs kept trembling.
An atmosphere of fear spread in everyone's hearts.
Because traveling around would be too scary.
When I came to this village obviously, I saw many villagers.
But now, it seems as if everything has disappeared...
This small village is eerily quiet.
Huang Yun forced a smile: "Maybe they are too asleep..."
"It's possible, just go and see and you'll find out?" Zhou You smiled, said nothing, and walked straight towards the house in front of him.
"Master Tang, what should we do now?" Magistrate Ma's face was pale, and his voice was clearly filled with fear.
Master Tang's expression didn't look much better, and his voice trembled: "Sir, why don't you just follow this person first? Seeing how calm he is, it seems that he has encountered something similar."
When Magistrate Ma heard this, he also felt that it made sense, and quickly followed him with his guards.
Huang Yun had no choice but to follow him and comfort the girl Yun'er.
Wandering around, I came to a wooden house.
The house seemed to be old, the wood was rotten, and it exuded an unpleasant stench, and black bugs crawled out from time to time. Before it rained tonight, he once saw a villager walking in.
"Bring the torch over here." Zhou You said calmly.
Among the group of people, only Magistrate Ma's bodyguard held a torch and could provide a source of light.
The guard heard this and quickly handed it to Zhou You.
Zhou You took it with one hand and pressed it gently on the wooden door with the other hand.
Creak.
The door was unlocked and was pushed open easily.
A puff of dust rushed towards me.
Walking inside, there was no one.
The furniture and beds were covered with thick dust, and the roof was covered with dense spider webs.
There were broken debris on the ground, thrown carelessly.
There were also some moldy and rotten food on the table.
"I'm afraid no one has lived in this place for several years..." Magistrate Ma also walked into the house and felt very excited when he saw the scene in the room.
Other people also walked in one after another, their faces becoming increasingly ugly.
Zhou You exhaled slightly and said calmly: "Let's go to other houses first and then take a look."
Next, Zhou You took everyone to five or six more houses, but they were all empty.
The hospitable villagers and the decaying and aging village chief seemed to have mysteriously disappeared, as if they had never appeared.
There seemed to be only a few of them left in the entire village.
Magistrate Ma was completely panicked and said in a panic: "What the hell is this place? Why have those villagers disappeared?"
His words made everyone present feel even more frightened.
Only Zhou You looked normal, and even laughed: "Maybe you are right, this village may really be a ghost place."
Now that he recalled it, he finally realized something was wrong.
The expressions of those villagers were so fake, as if they were wearing a human skin mask and were smiling but not smiling.
Magistrate Ma showed a smile that was uglier than crying: "Hero, please stop joking."
He finally spent a lot of money to buy a county magistrate, but he didn't want to end up here without even becoming an official.
Zhou You shook his head: "I don't have time to joke with you."
Apart from traveling around, only Huang Yun could barely maintain his composure. He said in a deep voice: "Young hero, how about we leave this village first?"
Judging from the temperament and performance of this heroic young man, he is definitely capable.
It would be best if we could follow him out of this village.
As for the missing Li Fu...if he really doesn't come back, Huang Yun will give his family a little more pension.
As soon as these words came out, Magistrate Ma kept nodding his head: "Yes, that's right. This young master is right, this village is too evil. There is a saying in the art of war, and the thirty-six strategies are the best!"
"Hero, I think we should escape first."
Zhou You had no objection and nodded: "Then let's leave here first."
After the group of people walked out of the room, their wandering footsteps suddenly stopped.
"Master Zhou, what's wrong?" Magistrate Ma thought something was going on, so he quickly hid behind Zhou You and asked in horror.
"Aren't there ten of us? Why is there the sound of one more person's footsteps?"
Zhou You suddenly said.
As a warrior in the Inner Qi Realm, he was relatively sensitive to sounds, so he noticed something was wrong with the footsteps.
"Master Tang and I, plus the four guards, are six people. This young master and his party are four, plus Master Zhou, there are eleven people in total, not ten." Magistrate Ma turned around and counted the heads.
But he found that after he finished speaking, the faces of the rich young masters were extremely pale and looked frightened.
"Sir...have you seen it wrong...there is no one behind me at all..."
The servant was so scared that his voice was in knots.
"There's someone behind you, see for yourself if you don't believe me." Master Tang also looked at him strangely.
Huang Yun and his servant turned around and looked...
Li Fu's face came into their eyes.
He stood quietly behind the servant, noticed the gazes of Huang Yun and others, and showed an extremely charming smile on his face.
This smile is so vicious that it is simply not an expression that humans can make.
