I looked at the dark and lifeless village uneasily. It seemed that something had indeed happened in the village...
Xian Pan’s guidance will never go wrong!
In the past few days, I have been studying the use of the fairy disk, and I have somewhat mastered it. The fairy disk is different from an ordinary compass. The pointer can float up, sink, or be placed in the middle. The pointer that floats up is ghost energy, and the pointer that sinks is corpse energy.
If there are other evil spirits, further judgment is needed.
If the pointer floats up at this time, it means ghost energy.
I let out a long sigh, and couldn't help but feel more worried. Yan Shiting could see them at a glance precisely because of her special physique. Thinking of this, I took out a large coin from my backpack and tied it around Yan Shiting's neck with a red thread.
Go up and warn:
"The village is not at peace. I'm afraid your jade bracelet alone won't be able to do anything. This coin must be worn close to your body! You can't take it off casually!"
Yan Shiting nodded heavily, her face full of nervousness.
At this time Lao Yu climbed up on my shoulder and said in my ear:
"Xiao Yu, something is wrong in this village. You must be careful. It's still the same old rule. Don't show your braids when you go in, so as not to alert others."
"Yeah, I got it."
After saying that, I took Yan Shiting to the village.
As the terrain of the mountain road got lower and lower, we gradually approached the village. The closer we got, the more worried I became. Although the village used to be quiet at night, you could always hear dogs barking or insects chirping.
But today it is eerily quiet...
Finally we walked into the dark village. Although this is the place where I grew up, I felt extremely strange at this moment. I walked very carefully. Brick houses with closed doors and windows passed by.
The branches and leaves of old trees poked out from the yards of every house. Occasionally, the night wind blew by, and the branches and leaves rustled in the wind.
They sway as if to warn us not to come back...
I felt my arm being violently grabbed. When I looked back, Yan Shiting was holding my arm tightly, her face turned pale...
"What's wrong?" I asked softly.
Yan Shiting pursed her lips and said with a trembling voice:
"I feel...as if something is following us..."
When I heard this, my brows wrinkled. After calming down, I was no different from ordinary people, and my perception ability was also reduced. However, Yan Shiting is a person of all yin and ten spirits, and is born with a keen insight into unclean things, so
When these words come out of her mouth, they will definitely not be false.
I raised my head and looked behind me, but there was nothing except the layered shadows of the room.
"Don't worry about it, let's go first."
After saying that, I took Yan Shiting's hand and walked faster towards the depths of the village.
"rustle…"
At this moment, I suddenly heard a burst of footsteps behind me, and the walking sound was a bit weird, like the sound of feet stepping on sand.
I continued to quicken my pace and was close to trotting...
"Sand...sand...sand..."
The footsteps behind him became faster and faster.
At this time, I pulled Yan Shiting into the corner of a nearby yard, then lit a cigarette, took a big sip, and quickly sprinkled some cinnabar on the ashes.
Then I took the cigarette in my hand and slowly stretched it towards the corner, letting the smoke slowly drift out with the night wind, while I stared closely at the smoke.
After a while, the "rustling" sound of walking became closer and closer...
"Sand...sand...sand..."
At this moment, I suddenly found that the burning cigarette butt was slowly turning black, and even the smoke floating out changed from light gray to jet black...
My heart sank, and I hurriedly threw the cigarette butt on the ground and stamped it out with my foot. Almost at the same time, a face slowly poked out from the corner...
"ah!"
Yan Shiting couldn't help but scream.
I pulled her behind me and took a closer look. I saw an old man with lazy eyes and wrinkles on his face. Because it was too dark, I couldn't see his face clearly. Only his lazy eyes seemed to be glowing with two strange traces.
Light, he is staring at us with his head stretched out.
"Who is sneaking around here?"
The old man said, his voice a little dry.
As soon as I heard this voice, I looked carefully and lost my voice:
"Liu Sanbo?"
The old man was stunned, and hurriedly came over and stared at my face for a while, then raised his finger and pointed at my face and said uncertainly:
"Are you...Xiaoyu? Xiaoyu from Mu Lingyue's family?"
I nodded excitedly, Mu Lingyue was my mother's name.
"You kid, if you don't go home quickly when you come back in the middle of the night, why are you hanging around here?"
As he spoke, Liu Sanbo looked past me and towards Yan Shiting who was hiding behind me. Then he suddenly grinned, waved his hand and said:
"Haha...I see, young people nowadays are really...Okay, go home quickly. Remember to come to the third uncle's house later. Your third aunt is also thinking about you very much."
"Yeah, I understand. I'll go there tomorrow."
Liu Sanbo nodded, turned around and left unsteadily.
I slowly put away my smile and stared coldly at his leaving figure...
"Xiaoyu..."
Yan Shiting tugged my arm and said cautiously:
"That uncle..."
"Shh..."
I made a silent gesture.
"Something's not right in the village. Please go home with me first."
My family lives in the east end of the village. Because we are outsiders, our house was built last...
A few minutes later, Yan Shiting and I stood in front of the door of my yard. I pointed to another yard next to my house and said:
"This is Aunt Liu's house."
Yan Shiting nodded dully, her face still very nervous, her eyes widened and she stared at the door of my house...
I frowned and asked:
"Feel something?"
Yan Shiting shook her head,
"No...nothing..."
I took a deep breath and walked to the door of the courtyard, gently knocking the door...
"when…"
As a result, as soon as my hand touched the door panel, the door opened with a creak.
"Why don't you lock the door?"
My heart skipped a beat, and I pushed open the door and rushed in. I searched for a long time inside and outside the house and in the courtyard, but I didn't see my mother. When I returned to the courtyard, I climbed up the courtyard wall, turned over, and jumped into Aunt Liu's house.
The yard…
But the result was the same. There was no one. I entered Aunt Liu's house based on my memory, and rummaged through the cabinets to find the bottles and jars she used to store the medicinal herbs. I found that they were all empty, with nothing left...
I climbed over the wall and returned to my yard, and said to Yan Shiting:
"My mother and Aunt Liu are not here. I have to go to the village chief's house to ask. You come with me."
After saying that, I led her to leave, but at this moment, a voice suddenly sounded at the door,
