The day I was hugged by a goblin

Three days later, Gu Shu appeared on the dirt road on the hillside directly opposite Chenjia Village. This location happened to be able to overlook the entire Chenjia Village from a distance.His short, thin hair was blown around by the wind, and Gu Shu, who was dressed casually and carried a backpack, looked like a backpacker, but at this moment, his cold and handsome face facing the wind looked a little dignified.

Gu Shuju overlooked the entire Chenjia Village from a high position. The dense houses and buildings showed that the village had a large population. It was surrounded by mountains on three sides and water on the other. The only exit for people to the outside world.

The mountains on three sides are connected together to form an embracing posture, completely enveloping Chenjia Village, especially the mountain directly behind, at least above 2000 meters above sea level. Looking from a distance, the cliff is steep and straight. Fortunately, the vegetation on the mountain is dense. Prosperity, otherwise, wouldn't the village be buried alive in the event of heavy rain?

Chenjia Village has a history of 1300 years. It is located in a remote place with inconvenient transportation, and is slightly derailed from the rapidly developing modern society. On the way, I also searched for relevant reports on the Internet, but those things did not help Gu Shu's journey this time.

Three days ago, Gu Shu received news that there have been cases of mysterious disappearances of children in Chenjia Village recently. This is the job of the police, but when this incident involves strange powers that cannot be explained by common sense, it is not the police. It can solve all the problems, and this is Gu Shu's specialty.

Exorcise ghosts and collect demons, and restore peace to the world.Well, or to put it more practically, take people's money and help them eliminate/disaster.

Walk down a winding dirt road less than two meters wide until you reach the foot of the mountain, and then pass through a large rapeseed field, and you will reach the other side of the village moat at the entrance of the village.

There are no piers in the middle of the ten-meter-long iron chain bridge, and even the wooden planks are paved with it for a long time. Gu Shu walked on the iron chain bridge that swayed violently with his long straight legs. The reason for the heavy rain was a bit turbulent, but this did not affect his vigorous and steady pace.

At the entrance of the village on the other side of the bridge, an old man with a gray beard, wearing an old military green liberation cap, and a cigarette pouch in his mouth was looking anxiously towards this side, as if he had finally seen Gu Shu, the old man's eyes lit up with a cigarette in his mouth. The pipe trotted towards Gu Shu, and at this time, Gu Shu also saw that behind the old man was a young man with a square face and a steady pace. Looking at his walking posture, Gu Shu guessed that he might be the person in charge of the case.

"Hello, hello, I'm looking forward to you," the old man happily looked up at Gu Shu, as if he wanted to shake hands, but stretched out his calloused and yellowed hands and shrank back in embarrassment Going back, he could only say excitedly, "Young man is so handsome, so young, and so tall." He looked a little funny when he was not even above Gu Shu's shoulders.

Because of the isolation, there are probably no outsiders in Chenjiacun on weekdays, so when they saw Gu Shu, the two of them had already confirmed his identity.

Gu Shu seemed to be born with a lack of affinity, a smiley face and a bad word, always making people discouraged for no reason, but he didn't care too much, just nodded politely to the old man, "Hi, call me Gu Shu. Can."

Just as he was talking, the young man with a square face also came over and extended his hand to Gu Shu, "Hello, Mr. Gu, I am Lu Yong, the person in charge of this case, and I have been notified by my superiors to fully cooperate with you."

As soon as Lu Yong finished speaking, the old man hurriedly added, "My name is Chen Dahe, and I am the deputy village head of Chenjia Village. I will pick you up instead of the village head. Everyone calls me Uncle Dahe or..."

"Okay, Uncle Dahe," the old man was interrupted by Lu Yong before he finished speaking, "Mr. Gu has been exhausted all the way, hurry up and take him back to rest."

"Oh, yes, yes." Chen Dahe nodded quickly in agreement.

Afterwards, Gu Shu followed the two people to turn left and right, shuttled through several stone roads among the dense houses, and finally arrived at the old village head's house. On this road, Lu Yong also introduced the general situation to Gu Shu clearly.

Chenjia Village has a history of thousands of years. All the hundreds of households in the village came from the same ancestors, and there are no people with foreign surnames. Moreover, Chenjia Village is located in such a strange terrain, surrounded by mountains and rivers. They so-called have the protection of the mountain god and the water god. Therefore, most of the people here believe in gods and are extremely superstitious.Therefore, they have always been used to offering sacrifices to ancestors and gods during Chinese New Year. This is a rule left over from ancient times, and it is also something they value very much.

However, since New Year's Eve last year, strange things happened one after another.At first, the offerings that the villagers enshrined in the ancestral hall disappeared, no matter whether they were raw or cooked, they disappeared without a trace overnight. They were things that the villagers would never touch.At first, the villagers thought that the ancestors had appeared, but when they worshiped continuously for many days and the food disappeared the next day, the villagers began to realize the strangeness of the matter, but finally let it go because they had no clue.

But since then, some villagers in the village have lost food from time to time, and the villagers began to wonder whether weasels or other greedy animals have entered, but there are no traces left, and the lost things are all in the villagers' homes. Can't do it let alone animals.

But fortunately, they threw some food from time to time, and the villagers didn't pay much attention to it. Until a month ago, a child under one year old disappeared without a trace in his mother's arms. What a thrilling thing it was to find that the child who was still walking unsteadily in his arms had disappeared. This incident directly made the villagers' nerves tense to the extreme.

But it wasn't over yet. In the following month, the village lost three more children one after another, and all three were children under two years old. Everyone panicked.The village head called the police, and the villagers gathered together nervously all day, not daring to go out or go to the field, especially the children were gathered together and guarded by the whole village.

But under such circumstances, they still lost another child five days ago, and this is already the fifth one. Most importantly, the police did not find any clues during this period, and the child seemed to disappear out of thin air.Faced with such unbelievable and horrifying facts, it is only natural for the superstitious Chenjiacun to suspect some monster eating people.

Thus, Gu Shu appeared here, and as far as his intuition was concerned, this trip was not in vain.

The three of Gu Shu chatted and walked, and when they were about to talk, they just arrived at the village chief's house at the end of the village.The old village chief has been exhausted recently and he is old. He fell ill in the past two days, which is why he asked Chen Dahe to pick up Gu Shu instead.

The old village head's gully-covered face was full of seriousness, and the small eyes in the deep-set eye sockets looked at Gu Shu without a trace, revealing the brightness of decades of wind and rain, and it took him a long time to hear him solemnly say, "Are young people sure?"

Gu Shu shivered, "I need to see first." Although this person is old, his eyes are clear.

Gu Shu didn't directly promise or make a conclusion, it's not that his way is not good enough or his skill is not enough.In fact, not to mention that there are many factions in this line of work, even the ability of the celestial masters of the same faction is divided into three or six grades, but it is no exaggeration to say that Gu Shu can definitely be regarded as a high-ranking celestial master. The grandfather of the legendary celestial master was also born with yin and yang eyes. He was gifted since childhood, so at the age of 28, he is definitely the best among the celestial masters.

However, the terrain of Chenjia Village is indeed mysterious. Surrounded by mountains on three sides and surrounded by water on the other side, the entire village faces north and faces the Big Dipper at night. The north is yin and the south is yang. The best place to gather shade, this is the favorite place for those things.Such a Yin-gathering place can still live for thousands of years. It can only be said that the superstitious behavior of worshiping ancestors and gods in Chenjia Village is not useless.

"Then I'll leave it to you, master." Instead of hearing a positive answer, the old village chief's eyes lit up, as if affirming Gu Shu's ability.Afterwards, the village chief arranged Gu Shu's food and lodging and then lay down. Gu Shu followed Chen Dahe to the residence arranged for him, ate lunch casually and took a nap, and then followed Chen Dahe and Lu Yong The two went to investigate.

After walking around the village, Gu Shu finally entered the ancestral hall of Chenjia Village.With a simple glance, in addition to enshrining the ancestors of the Chen family for several generations, there are more statues of gods in the ancestral hall. Gu Shu is not interested in these, but just glanced at them.

The entire ancestral hall is several hundred square meters in size, but it doesn't look empty, and the ground and walls are also clean.Gu Shu casually wiped the altar in front of the mountain god, and it was spotless, even the candlesticks and incense burners were wiped clean, and everything he could see showed that Chenjia Village attached great importance to this ancestral hall.

However, Gu Shu looked around at the newly painted white walls and the floor that still showed signs of concrete, and turned to Chen Dahe, "This ancestral hall has just been renovated?"

"Master, you have good eyesight, haven't you just renovated it? Look," Chen Dahe saw Gu Shu talking to him, as if his status had been improved, especially since this young guy was called a master by the village chief, he was very happy immediately Pointing to the statues in front of him, he introduced, "These great gods are newly invited."

Chen Dahe was completely proud, but Gu Shu was expressionless, and only added a sentence, "The others have also been reshaped."

"Hey~ you are indeed a master," Chen Dahe exclaimed exaggeratedly, "Isn't it all remodeled? Every household in our village paid 200 yuan. As the deputy village head, I even set an example. I paid 300 yuan, and invited a powerful master and a master craftsman..."

Chen Dahe talked endlessly as soon as he opened his mouth, but before he finished speaking, Chen Yong directly passed him and approached Gu Shu, "Mr. Gu, is there any problem?" He has been a policeman for many years, and he noticed it naturally There was a subtle change on Gu Shu's face.

Gu Shu narrowed his eyes slightly with a cold light, mixed with some jokes that Lu Yong couldn't understand, he didn't answer Lu Yong, but turned his head again to look at Chen Dahe who finally shut up, and then pointed to a smooth ground in the southeast corner of the ancestral hall Asked, "Is there something here before?"

Chen Dahe was taken aback, "Eh~ something?" Then he took down the cigarette pouch in his mouth and tried to remember, while Lu Yong on the side looked like a monk who couldn't figure it out, it wasn't that he didn't believe in ghosts and gods, on the contrary, He is sure that there are many things in this world that cannot be explained by science, especially in their profession, but he has never seen them in real life after working in the police force for so many years, and he is the first person like Gu Shu to exist. one contact.

But it was precisely because he believed in the existence of those things that he was so polite to this young man who was more than ten years younger than him. But after all, this case was too tricky, and he had no clue, and this one was specially explained by his superiors, so he could only keep many doubts in his heart.

But at this moment, Chen Dahe suddenly knocked on the pipe, "I remembered," Lu Yong's heart moved, only to hear Chen Dahe say, "There used to be a big rock here, which was shaped like a strange thing, and it has been sticking here and getting in the way. It seemed to be rooted and hard to move, and it was as hard as iron. Fortunately, everyone worked together to dig it out during the renovation.”

Gu Shu was speechless, "Where's the stone?"

"Throw it away, it's a waste of effort."

Gu Shu's face darkened, "Go and find it."

"Ah?" Chen Dahe was completely stunned, and even Lu Yong was confused, "This...Mr. Gu, what does this stone have to do with it?" Could it be that the stone is also related to this strange thing?

Gu Shu didn't explain, but said seriously to Chen Dahe, "Right away."

After Chen Dahe trotted out with an inexplicable expression, Gu Shu frowned and shook his head, "Every town and village stone can be thrown away, so I don't know what kind of master they are looking for." There are too many people who are bluffing and deceiving people with their names.

Lu Yong was shocked when he heard this, "Zhencunshi?"

But at this moment, Gu Shu's eyes suddenly dimmed, and two cold lights instantly shot at a window on the north side of the ancestral hall. The next second, he had already moved to the window. Lu Yong's eyes widened in shock at such a speed, but Before he came back to his senses, Gu Shu by the window was staring at something and murmured softly. Lu Yong's whole body trembled immediately, because he clearly heard a word, "Demon."
