The journey was bumpy, and Gu Wenyu and the village chief had nothing else to say. Since Village Chief Liu felt that the monster was afraid of monsters, why did Gu Wenyu have to argue with him? He was just a country man. Whatever he thought, Gu Wenyu could only think
I am just here to help He Xi.
Thinking of this, Gu Wenyu simply took out his mobile phone. He was about to send a message to He Xi to explain the current situation, but found that the mobile phone had no signal and the message could not be sent at all.
Gu Wenyu raised her phone higher, looked around, and wondered if the signal on this section of the road was not good, but after waiting for a long time, Village Chief Liu drove forward for a while, and Gu Wenyu's phone still had no signal.
"What's going on? Why don't you have a signal here?" Gu Wenyu asked Village Chief Liu while holding up his mobile phone to search for a signal.
Village Chief Liu is used to it, "There is no signal in our mountain ravines. The only phone in our house is the only one in the village."
"..." Gu Wenyu couldn't believe it. How old was this? There was such a small mountain village without signal?
If there is no signal in the village, how can she contact He Xi? She can only borrow a phone from the village chief's house.
Gu Wenyu looked at her phone for a long time without giving up, but there was really no signal at all. In the end, she had to sigh and accept this reality.
The further we drove, the more difficult it became to walk on this dirt road. Not only was it full of potholes, but it was also full of gravel and dead branches, making it almost impossible to recognize the original dirt road.
The sky gradually darkened, the last ray of sunset disappeared, but Gu Wenyu had not seen the shadow of Dongxin Village yet.
Village Chief Liu frowned tightly, and big beads of sweat rolled down his forehead. He said with a slight blame in his tone: "It's good now. It's getting dark, and it's time for the man-eating monsters to come out."
"There are no monsters around here." Gu Wenyu didn't smell the magic, and the area should be relatively safe. She didn't know why the village chief was so scared. He just said that monsters were too scared to come out, but now he showed
Looking very scared.
Village Chief Liu retorted: "How do you know? Even though the monster was scared away by the previous Yin-Yang gentlemen, it would still come near the village at night and pick up one or two chickens and ducks when nothing happened. Just two days ago
, Wang Laizi’s dog was also eaten.”
"It also eats livestock?" Gu Wenyu was a little surprised. If it is really Wu Miansha, he shouldn't eat livestock. They all like to eat human flesh, and their favorite thing to eat is the offal. They don't like the meat of that kind of livestock.
"Why don't you eat it? If you don't collect it every night, all the chickens and ducks in our village will be eaten." The emotional village chief is anxious to get rid of the demon, but he only feels sorry for the chickens, ducks and geese in the village.
"...That's wrong." Gu Wenyu felt something was wrong, but with her limited knowledge, she didn't know what was wrong.
Village Chief Liu didn't hear Gu Wenyu's whisper. He looked both sides cautiously, and then asked: "To be honest, are you really capable? I'm risking my life to pick you up. I'm going to meet a man-eating monster soon."
, can you do it?"
Although Gu Wenyu disliked Village Chief Liu very much, he still said coldly: "Don't worry, just let him eat me first if you want to eat."
"You said it yourself, I won't care about you then." Village Chief Liu said without being polite at all, and said matter-of-factly.
Gu Wenyu shook her head angrily. She never said another word, but she scolded He Xi thousands of times in her heart.
Village Chief Liu drove his three-wheeled motorcycle as fast as he could, and finally returned to Dongxin Village around 7:30 pm. He did not encounter any man-eating monsters on the road.
This Dongxin Village is really poor. Every household has only weak light, which is about the brightness of a small light bulb. Some people don't even have light bulbs in their homes, only weak candlelight.
There is a crooked-necked tree at the entrance of Dongxin Village. It was rustling in the night wind, like a devil baring its teeth and claws.
Perhaps because of the commotion about the man-eating monster, it was only after seven o'clock, but no one was walking around in the village, and every household had its doors and windows closed.
Village Chief Liu parked the three-wheeled motorcycle under the crooked neck tree, then took out a gong from the back seat of the three-wheeled motorcycle and started banging it.
When the villagers heard the noise, they came out of their homes to check. When they knew that it was Village Chief Liu who had returned, they walked towards the crooked neck tree one by one holding torches.
Gu Wenyu took a cursory look and saw that all the people walking over were men. As Boss Li said, there seemed to be no women in Dongxin Village, but it could not be ruled out that women were waiting at home. After all, there were no children here. Maybe women were at home with their children.
Not necessarily.
There was another thing that made Gu Wenyu very uncomfortable. She found that these people looked at her very strangely. They looked at her as if they were looking at a piece of goods. The undisguised greed and desire in their eyes made people feel uncomfortable.
Standing upside down with chills all over his body.
I don't know if this is an illusion, but Gu Wenyu remained calm on the surface and just stood quietly next to Village Chief Liu.
When everyone gathered, Village Chief Liu finally spoke, "Dear fellow villagers, the Celestial Master from the Celestial Master's Mansion has arrived. I went to town specifically today to bring this..."
At this point, Village Chief Liu paused and turned to ask Gu Wenyu: "What do you call it?"
"Gu." Gu Wenyu spat out one word coldly.
Village Chief Liu cleared his throat and continued: "Oh, I have invited Master Gu back. When Master Gu gets rid of the monsters, we don't have to worry anymore."
At this time, there was a burst of whispers from the crowd.
Then a fierce-looking man said directly: "Why is it a woman? Village chief, have you picked up the wrong person?"
"Yeah, why is it a woman?" Someone in the crowd immediately echoed.
"A woman can also catch monsters? Could she be a liar?"
"Yes, village chief, you must not have been deceived, right?"
"Yeah, what can a woman accomplish? Looking at her thin arms and legs, I guess she's not enough to feed a monster, right?"
"This girl is quite handsome. If she is willing to marry me as my wife, that would be great too."
"You have a beautiful idea. You just married your daughter-in-law last year. It's my turn this time."
"Why is it your turn? Have you saved enough money to marry a wife? Why is it your turn? You should marry me."
Seeing that the words of this group of people were becoming more and more crooked, Gu Wenyu finally became angry. The cold air condensed in her hand, and a long sword made of ice immediately took shape.
Gu Wenyu added another enhancement to the long sword, and then slashed out with the sword, splitting the crooked neck tree behind her into two pieces from the middle.
"boom!"
The upper section of the Crooked Neck tree fell to the ground, and the villagers were dumbfounded. Not to mention that they didn't see clearly where the sword in Gu Wenyu's hand came from, and even how she cut off the Crooked Neck. These people
Didn't even see clearly.
Gu Wenyu pointed the tip of his sword at the crooked-necked tree that was divided into two parts. He glanced around coldly, and then said in a deep voice: "I'm here to slay demons, not to listen to you say these dirty words. If anyone
If you dare to say another nonsense, you will end up like this crooked-necked tree."
Of course Gu Wenyu's words were meant to scare people. Not to mention that it was impossible for her to kill innocent people indiscriminately. Even if it was not illegal to kill someone, these people were just a bit mean-mouthed, but they would not be guilty of death.
