The sunset set, and the four of them waited until the crowds on the street dispersed. Lai Quan walked out lazyly from somewhere.
"Where did you go just now?" Ding Zhuang's tone was sarcastic.
When Yu Shu heard this, her eyelids twitched, fearing that Lai Quan would cut Ding Zhuang in half with one knife.
Lai Quan suffered a lot of beard and his hair was also fluffy. He held a long knife in his hand, which was quite like a master of martial arts.
He raised his eyes, looked at Ding Zhuang, and said coldly, "What? Do I need to report to you where I go?"
The hostility in Lai Quan's eyes was too heavy, which made Ding Zhuang shut up.
Lai Quan withdrew his gaze and turned to look at Yu Shu, "Where will you go in a while?"
Yu Shu was shocked by seeing her, and she coughed lightly, "Am I?"
Lai Quan didn't say anything, just looked at Yu Shu calmly.
This made Yu Shu feel like she had just said nonsense. She pulled the corners of her lips, "Uh... I'll be ready to go to Mrs. Li's house to take a look."
"Yes." Lai Quan responded lightly when he heard Yu Shu's words.
Seeing this, Yu Shu couldn't help but complain, "Well, what does it mean?"
Even if Yu Shu complains no matter how much she complains, her face will be unsightly.
Bai Luochen looked at Lai Quan, a dark light flashed in his eyes, and suddenly said, "Since fellow Daoist Lai Quan is back, why not go and see together, how about?"
Lai Quan glanced at Bai Luochen and repeated, "Yes."
The already subtle atmosphere of the four people became even more strange because of Lai Quan's return.
Ding Zhuang's eyes were circling back and forth on several people, feeling an indescribable sinisterness.
He seemed to be unwilling to accept it if he didn't become the leader.
Ding Zhuang said again, "Then let's go to Mrs. Li's house now."
After he finished speaking, he walked towards Old Lady Li's house one step ahead of everyone.
Lai Quan glanced at Ding Zhuang lazily, said nothing, holding his own Yanling knife, and walked towards Old Lady Li's house staggeringly.
"Let's go too." Bai Luochen said to Yu Shu with a smile.
Yu Shu nodded slightly and followed.
Zhou Chang came to the end. He was small and didn't like to talk, so he was particularly unpresented.
The group walked to Old Lady Li's yard. The courtyard was really simple, with several broken thatched houses that had been disrepaired and some debris were piled in the corner.
The five corpses covered with white cloth were placed brightly in the courtyard.
Ding Zhuang walked in first, cleared his throat and sang, "Is anyone?"
No one responded in the courtyard, so quiet that it was scary.
Suddenly, a gust of wind blew, creaking the door, and blew all the white cloth on the body, revealing gray and dead faces.
Yu Shu couldn't help but tense her mind. Her eyes were a little sluggish and she pursed her lips.
"Yu Shu." Bai Luochen called softly in Yu Shu's ear.
Yu Shu was so scared that her hair exploded, her eyes widened, and she subconsciously raised her voice, "What are you doing?!"
Unexpectedly, her voice rose and she was shocked by Ding Zhuang who was walking in the front.
"Ah!" Ding Zhuang was shocked and shouted in shock.
He was so scared that he became panicked. He couldn't help but wave his head left and right and looked, "What, what's wrong?"
"Uh..." Yu Shu's face looked a little embarrassed.
Ding Zhuang reacted afterwards. His face turned red, then turned his head to look at Yu Shu and scolded slightly, "Fellow Taoist Yu Shu, don't be surprised."
Yu Shu met Ding Zhuang's eyes and shook her eyes a little embarrassedly.
She turned her head and looked at Bai Luochen's smiling eyes, and instantly felt that Bai Luochen was speaking on purpose.
Yu Shu said angrily, "What did you tell me to do?"
Bai Luochen smiled at the corner of his mouth and said slowly, "It's nothing, I just told Miss Yu Shu not to be afraid."
Yu Shu couldn't help rolling her eyes and hit Bai Luochen hard with her elbow.
Lai Quan didn't care about the little episode between them. He strides beyond Ding Zhuang and walked to the front.
Lai Quan stood next to the body of the old lady Li's son, stretched out two fingers and placed them on the side of the neck of the body. He first confirmed that this body really showed no sign of life.
Then, Lai Quan pulled open the clothes on the corpse with both hands and carefully inspected each part.
Nothing falls in the chest, arms, palms, legs, soles of feet...
Yu Shu couldn't help but walk two steps forward and approached Lai Quan, "Are there no wounds?"
Lai Quan looked up at Yu Shu, paused for a few seconds before replying, "No wound..."
Yu Shu looked at the body and thought of the people's words, her brows couldn't help but frown.
The people said that Mrs. Li's family was out of breath after waking up.
"How could it be that the whole family is a way to die?" Yu Shu's tone showed a little confusion.
Yu Shu's words fell into Ding Zhuang's ears, and he replied with confidence, "It must be that 'ghost' did it!"
"Isn't our mission to kill the ghosts in the secret realm?"
Ding Zhuang looked through his expression.
But Yu Shu always felt that this shouldn't be the case. If these people were really killed by ghosts, how did ghosts kill them? Where should we find ghosts?
And I heard from those people that this is not the first time such a thing has happened in Lijia Village.
"Old Mrs. Li!" Bai Luochen's voice suddenly came from the house.
It turned out that Bai Luochen entered the house at some point.
Yu Shu frowned and strode towards Bai Luochen.
"Bai Luochen?" Yu Shu jumped into Bai Luochen's room, looked at Bai Luochen's back, and called out.
Bai Luochen stood still, looking ahead, and did not look back when he heard Yu Shu's voice.
"What are you looking at?" Yu Shu's eyebrows were squatting, and she couldn't help but walk towards Bai Luochen and asked while asking.
Bai Luochen blinked, "It's okay, I'm just scared."
When Bai Luochen was talking, Yu Shu had already poked her head out from behind Bai Luochen.
She turned her head and looked ahead, her heartbeat stopped for a moment.
The whole room was covered with white cloth, and the candles on the table were flashing.
Old Mrs. Li was hunched over and sat on the chair next to the table. The dim candlelight shone on her wrinkled face, and the light and shadow intertwined, making it even more terrifying.
She was sitting there, her eyes were open or closed, and she couldn't tell whether she was dead or alive.
"Old Mrs. Li." Bai Luochen called out again.
Old Mrs. Li, sitting on the chair, was still motionless.
Yu Shu was so scared that she was sweating in a cold sweat. She hid behind Bai Luochen and did not dare to breathe for a moment.
After a moment, Old Mrs. Li still didn't respond.
Bai Luochen rolled his Adam's apple, walked forward a few steps lightly, and called out again, "Old Mrs. Li?"
The room was terrible quiet. There was no wind, but the candlelight was swaying violently. Yu Shu's nerves were tense into a line.
When she watched Bai Luochen walk over and stretched out her hand to pat Old Mrs. Li on the shoulder.
Old Mrs. Li suddenly opened her eyes.
"Ah!" Yu Shu was so scared that she let out a short scream.
Old Mrs. Li's eyes were so wide that she seemed to be about to take it out of her socket, with red blood on the whites of her eyes.
She looked ahead with horror, with nothingness in her eyes.
She seemed to be crying subconsciously.
"Everyone is dead... I'll leave me a white-haired man!"
"Juan'er, I'm lucky..."
Old Mrs. Li's voice was hoarse, but her crying tone was high-pitched, which made Yu Shu's hair suddenly rise.
Yu Shu couldn't stand the raising voice and interrupted, "Old Mrs. Li!!"
The old lady Li reacted very quickly at this moment, and she turned her head and stared at Yu Shu.
Yu Shu was shocked and couldn't help but take a step back.
Seeing this, Bai Luochen stepped across and blocked Yu Shu. He smiled again on his face, and said slowly.
"Mrs. Li, please feel sorry for your grief. Don't cry and ruin your body." This chapter has been completed!
