You said you would tell fortunes, so you can catch ghosts and exterminate zombies easily?

The burly middle-aged man stepped aside.

The old man carefully placed the cakes in the basket into the coffin, kowtowed three times respectfully to the middle-aged man, and then left carefully.

But when he left, he looked back every few steps, shed a last shed a tear, and staggered away.

Su Chen hesitated for a moment and followed the old man.

There seemed to be something on his body that was not affected by this evil spirit zone. After following the old man for only half a minute, Su Chen walked out of Yagu Village and came to the mountain stream.

The old man seemed a little exhausted. He leaned against the cliff wall to rest, looking ahead with dull eyes.

He didn't notice in time when Su Chen broke the illusion.

Under the eyes of heaven, Su Chen saw that his whole body was filled with deathly aura.

The old man looked for a long time and found that his vision was blurred. Then he slowly raised his hand and wiped the corners of his eyes.

Suddenly, he almost jumped up and looked at Su Chen not far away in shock.

"you you you you……"

Su Chen nodded at him: "Old man, I want to ask you something."

"About Cliff Valley Village."

The old man waved his hands hurriedly: "I, I, I don't know anything."

"is it?"

"How could you send a New Year pig to the village if you don't know anything?"

The old man was stunned and looked at Su Chen warily.

"You, are you in the same group with those people before?"

"How do you know about the New Year Pig?"

As he spoke, his hand quietly reached into his lower back.

There, there is a hatchet.

As long as he got it, he would dance a little, and then use his strength to push the young man to the bottom of the cliff...

The old man's eyes sharpened a little.

Unfortunately, the next moment, Su Chen took a step forward and put his hand directly on his arm.

His hand had already touched the handle of the hatchet, but he couldn't lift it.

The old man raised his leg and wanted to kick Su Chen away. Su Chen exerted force with his hand and he flew out.

"what!"

The old man screamed repeatedly.

Su Chen grabbed his other hand, waved it around and returned to the edge of the cliff. His legs were weak and his face was terrifyingly pale.

"Now, can we have a nice chat?"

"Yagu Village is a village of wandering corpses. How can you come and go so freely? Is there some connection between your ancestors and the village chief?"

Although the old man was scared, he didn't want to speak.

Su Chen sighed.

This man is still so tough even when facing death.

That's it.

It’s better to use the mantra talisman.

The old man looked at Su Chen waving his hands, not quite understanding what he was doing, but instinctively, he wanted to step back.

Unfortunately, his legs were weak and there was a cliff on one side, so he didn't dare to act rashly.

The next moment, Su Chen pointed at the old man.

The old man was keenly aware that something seemed to have happened, but when he checked his shoulders and chest, there was nothing.

In order to prevent the old man from giving up and committing suicide to prove his determination, Su Chen gave him another talisman to stabilize his body, and then asked the same question again.

The old man pursed his lips subconsciously.

But his mouth was still open.

"I have the jade pendant given by the village chief. He won't kill our Ning family."

"Our Ning family is the Zhao family's servant. My grandfather said that no matter how things change outside, our Ning family will be the village chief's servants for generations to come. We must do things for the village chief, help him find the New Year pig, and deliver the New Year pig."

"Every ten years, a girl must be given to the village chief to be his mistress."

Su Chen frowned.

"New Year Pig? Isn't it a two-legged sheep?"

The old man's face changed slightly and his voice trembled.

"No, I didn't kill anyone, whether it was a pig or a sheep."

Su Chen sneered.

"You didn't kill anyone, but you led him into danger. How are you any different from a ghost?"

The old man's eyes were evasive.

Su Chen had already stepped forward and carefully searched the old man's body, and found the jade pendant wrapped around his upper arm.

"You, you can't take it away, you can't take it away!"

The old man shouted in panic.

"Why not?"

"If you take it away, something terrible will happen! Something terrible will happen!" the old man shouted anxiously. "If the village chief can't get the New Year pig, he will come down the mountain. If he comes down the mountain, everyone will die!"

Su Chen was stunned for a moment, then began to understand.

"So your ancestors have lived here for generations just to protect this village? To prevent him from coming out and causing harm?"

The old man was annoyed.

"if not?"

"New Year Pig, New Year Pig. Yagu Village only kills the New Year Pig once a year, and only one person dies each year. It's better than the village chief coming down the mountain. He's so powerful, and many people will die."

“One person dies every year?”

Su Chen nodded subconsciously.

In the vast mountains, it is normal for one person to go missing every year.

In addition, Yagu Village is located in a remote area, so no one has suspected that there was any problem here for many years.

They just think the mountains are dangerous.

But soon, he narrowed his eyes.

"No, two people have already died, and if I hadn't come today, ten more people would have died."

The old man snorted: "That's what they deserve!"

Su Chen frowned: "Talk nicely, why did you bring them to Yagu Village?"

"Who told them to threaten me and tell everyone about Yagu Village?"

"I didn't want to lead the way. I was doing this for their own good, but they turned around and tore down the door of my cabin, tried to set it on fire, and even spread rumors about Cliff Valley Village. I'm already lucky I didn't push them all over the cliff one by one."

Su Chen: "..."

Those people are really looking for death.

"What about those people who came later? Did they provoke you too?"

The old man's eyes flickered.

"That's not the case, but who made them insist that I led those people?"

"And there's one who calls himself a master. I asked him if he was any good, and he said he was number one, and no one dared to say he was second. So I thought I'd give it a try. If I could win over the village chief, I wouldn't have to guard this village anymore."

"maybe……"

The old man suddenly snorted.

"They deserved to die anyway. Who told him to brag?"

Su Chen: "..."

He took a deep breath, his tone softened, and asked, "Did you send that little girl in too?"

The old man changed his previous stubborn attitude and his eyes suddenly turned red.

Looking at the man in his sixties or seventies, he pouted and started crying like a child.

"My round treasure ahhhh~"

The crying was so tortuous that the veins on Su Chen's forehead throbbed.

"Your granddaughter?"

The old man shook his head and then nodded.

"I picked up the child."

"I heard from people outside that there's a plan now where families can only have one child. If you keep a girl, you can't have a boy to carry on the family line. Many people secretly gave birth to girls and lost them. So I tried my luck and found a round treasure in a dilapidated temple."

"Yuanbao was all wrinkled at the time, wrapped in a piece of rag. I fed him mouthful by mouthful of goat's milk."

"She loves me the most. She follows me around every day, calling me grandpa and grandpa. She's much more filial than my son who ran away from home."

Su Chen: "..."

"But you still sent her to Cliff Valley Village."

The old man covered his eyes and said, "I can't do anything. I can't do anything!"

"Originally, I saved up enough money to buy a baby girl to send back home. I tied her up and locked her in the woodshed, but Yuanbao, Yuanbao secretly let her go at night."

"That day was the agreed date. I didn't have time to find another girl, so I could only, could only..."

"Knock Yuanbao unconscious and send him inside!"
