The boy imitated the appearance of an adult, coughed a few times, and said: "I also heard what my grandma said when she talked to people. My grandma said that our village used to have a very good relationship with Fox God Village, just like a family."

As soon as these words came out, the other children were dissatisfied: "Your grandma is talking nonsense! We are different from those people who believe in foxes!!"

"My mother said that foxes can eat people, and told me to stay away from the people in Fox God Village, and run away immediately if I see them."

"That's what my mother told me."

Seeing that the boy looked a little frustrated, Gu Le reached out and touched the boy's head, and said softly, "His grandma was talking about the past, and you probably didn't exist at that time."

A little girl said: "My mother said that the people in Fox God Village have no rules, and told me not to play with them, for fear of getting bad habits."

"Xiaomei, did your mother tell you?" Another little girl also said: "My mother told me that too, and she didn't let me go to the mountain alone, saying that there are monsters inside. eaten."

"Brother, do you think there are monsters in the mountains?"

The children looked at Gu Le eagerly, wanting Gu Le to explain their confusion to them.

Gu Le's own existence is enough to be mysterious. He squatted down and said to the children: "There are indeed people-eating things in the mountains, but they are not monsters, but animals."

The children were attracted by Gu Le's words, and quickly asked, "What animal is it?"

Gu Le shook his head: "I don't know either."

The kids were a little disappointed.

Gu Le took out candy from his pocket and distributed it to the children: "Don't be unhappy, come, brother treats you to some candy."

"Wow! Thank you bro!!"

When the sugar was finished, the children couldn't wait to peel it off and put it in their mouths.

Gu Le looked at these children, their faces were full of innocence and happiness.

After eating the candy, the boy began to tell stories again: "Although the relationship between the two villages is good. But according to my grandma, it seems that a girl who wanted to sacrifice in Fox God Village hooked up with the priest in our village, and then they eloped on the day of the sacrifice. gone."

"Then I was arrested by people from two villages. I don't know what happened next. My mother asked me to eat, so I went to eat."

Gu Le touched the boy's head and praised: "This story is great, brother likes to listen to it very much."

The boy hurriedly asked: "I'm done talking, it's time for my brother to talk!"

Gu Le smiled: "Let me tell a story about a mermaid."

Because it was for children, Gu Le deliberately changed the ending to HE.

"The prince recognized the little mermaid as the benefactor who saved him, so he proposed to her, and the little mermaid agreed."

"Then the prince and the little mermaid were together."

Children: "Wow! What a great story!!"

"I'm done talking, it's your turn."

The children looked left and right, and Xiaomei stood up.

She smiled at Gu Le and said loudly: "I heard from my mother that the foxes in Fox God Village are very bad. They eat those little girls and even attach themselves to people. Can't sleep!"

"My mother also told me this story, those girls who were eaten by foxes are so pitiful."

"That's why the adults in our village don't let us play with people from Fox God Village."

The children talked to each other, saying what they heard from the adults.

Gu Le was thoughtful at the side, lowering his head to think about something.

If this is the old grudge between Hebo Village and Fox God Village, then what happened on the day of the sacrificial ceremony that caused the couple to elope?

Since one of them is the sacrifice and the other is the priest who presides over the ceremony, they must know the date in advance, so why don't they escape in advance and insist on elope on the day of the sacrifice?

What happened after the people from the two villages captured them and where are the couple now?

But with this incident alone, the two villages, who were as close as a family, could be broken, Gu Le felt a little ridiculous.

So he asked the boy: "Do you know where the two people who were captured are now?"

The boy shook his head and said he didn't know.

Xiaomei said: "Brother, I know."

Gu Le looked at Xiaomei, and Xiaomei said, "My mother said that they offended the river god and the fox god, and were punished by the gods."

"What's the punishment?" Gu Le asked.

Xiaomei thought for a while, then shook her head and said, "My mother said, I can't say it."

When Gu Le heard this, his expression was a little downcast: "That's it, then brother won't ask."

The boy said: "Just now my brother gave you sweets and told you nice stories. You are so mean that you didn't even tell your brother."

Xiaomei frowned: "I didn't!!"

Boy: "You have! You have!!"

Gu Le was afraid that the two of them would fight, so he hurriedly said, "Don't quarrel, I just don't ask."

The boy said: "It's obvious that she is stingy!"

"I'm not stingy!" Xiao Mei leaned close to Gu Le's ear and whispered, "Then I'll tell my brother in a low voice so that no one else can listen."

Gu Le said: "Okay." Then he approached Xiaomei.

Xiaomei said: "My mother said, 'That ungrateful person has offended God and deserves to be hung on the bridge'. Brother, that's what my mother said."

Gu Le boasted: "Xiaomei is great."

Xiaomei was a little embarrassed by the praise: "Yeah, it's not that good."

Hearing this, Gu Le smiled and rolled his eyes.

Gu Le talked to the children for a while, and suddenly a few bells sounded, and the children all stood up, ready to leave.

Gu Le hurriedly asked, "Where are you going?"

The boy replied: "Something happened in the village, brother, do you want to go with us?"

A dark light flashed across Gu Le's eyes: "Can I go?"

The boy hesitated, but Xiaomei said: "My brother gave us sweets and told us stories, he is our friend, so we can go!"

Several other children also said yes.

Surrounded by several children, Gu Le walked towards the ancestral hall in Hebo Village.

There is a large ancestral hall in Hebo Village.

It contains all the records of the first generation of Hebo Village to the current generation.

When Gu Le and the others arrived, the entrance of the ancestral hall was already full of people. The villagers all looked serious, while the village head stood at the entrance of the ancestral hall with a solemn expression, turning his head to explain something to people.

When almost everyone arrived, the village chief said loudly, "Quiet!"

"I have a few words to say to the folks!"

As soon as these words came out, the noisy voice disappeared.The villagers listened attentively to the village chief's speech.

Gu Le, on the other hand, was looking around.There are trees near the ancestral hall, and the ancestral hall against it is a bit dark.

There are several door panels erected on the wall of the ancestral hall, and something has been splashed on the door panels. It is black and red, and there is an unpleasant smell.

Next to the door panel, there are several foxes made of paper. The foxes are so beautiful that at first glance, I really thought it was a fox.

Gu Le guessed that this might be the temple gate in the background that was splashed with black dog blood and the paper fox nailed to the gate.

At this time, the village chief also started to speak, holding a knife in his hand, which is the black knife used to nail the paper-bound fox to the temple gate.

The village head said loudly: "A few days ago, in front of our Heshen Temple, someone splashed black dog blood!"

"There was also a black knife stuck in the temple gate," the village head raised his arm, the sharp blade of the black knife reflected light in the sun: "This black knife is unlucky, it is a bad thing!"

"And that paper fox," the village head suddenly turned and pointed at the paper fox on the ground, full of anger: "This paper fox was nailed to the gate of the Heshen Temple with a black knife! Folks! This is a provocation to our Hebo Village!

! ”

When the villagers in Hebo Village heard the news, they were all furious, wishing they could pick up wooden sticks and beat the thieves who dared to provoke the God of the River to death! !

The village head appeased the villagers, and said, "Let's draw lots to decide the order and place of the vigil tonight."

He paused, staring at Gu Le and other players hiding aside for a moment, and said loudly: "Friends from outside, if you are free tonight, I hope you will join us too! Help us catch thieves!!"

Feeling the fiery gaze of the people around him, Gu Le frowned, but he had no choice but to nod, and the rest of the players also nodded.

In front of the public, the village chief's remarks are forcing them to agree, not to mention that they will stay here for a few days, and they can't tear themselves apart at this time, so they can only agree first.

After receiving a satisfactory answer, the village head calmed down, and signaled to the villagers beside him to bring the wooden box over, and began to draw lots.

There was only a round hole left in the wooden box, and the villagers lined up to grab it one by one. Several children around Gu Le were taken away by their parents. Of course, the children had no right to participate in this matter.

The lottery is very fast, and they leave after getting the paper ball.

Soon it was Gu Le's turn. Gu Le put his hand into the wooden box. Before he started to grasp, a ball of paper appeared in his palm. He was taken aback for a moment, and then he was urged by the villagers standing beside the wooden box: " Hurry up, get it and start driving."

Gu Le could only take out his hand. After the paper ball in his palm came out of the wooden box, the stickiness disappeared suddenly.

After walking aside, Gu Le opened the ball of paper, and there were a few words written on it - from twelve to one, inside the Heshen Temple.

Gu Le put away the paper ball and spread out his palm. At that moment just now, he felt a ghostly aura. It was that ghostly aura that sucked the paper ball into his palm and stuck it firmly.

Is there any mystery in the River God Temple?

The slender eyelashes covered the emotions at the bottom of the pupils, and when he raised his eyes again, Gu Le's eyes were clear, as if he could see the beauty of the night sky from his eyes.

The villagers finished drawing lots one after another, and then told the time and place on the paper ball in their hands, and the same villagers formed a team.

Besides Gu Le, other players also formed teams with people from the same time and place. Only Gu Le's paper ball, no one coincided with him.

The village chief came over after hearing the news, and said to Gu Le with a smile, "I was going to go alone at night, but I didn't expect the paper ball to be caught."

Gu Le said, "Why is there only one person going?"

The village head stopped talking, just looked at Gu Le and smiled. After a while, he reached out and patted Gu Le on the shoulder, leaving a sentence: "I will prepare something for you later, you will need it at night." go.

Gu Le looked at the back of the village chief, and then at the ball of paper in his hand, feeling more and more suspicious in his heart.

Other players came to Gu Le after the villagers left one after another. Dahei asked Gu Le, "Where is your time and place?"

Gu Le said: "Twelve to one o'clock. Inside the River God Temple."

Several people were all taken aback.In the Heshen Temple, from twelve o'clock to one o'clock at night, no matter how I think about it, I feel something is wrong.

Gu Le looked at the ancestral hall. In his eyes, he could clearly see the ghostly spirit hovering over the ancestral hall.

Then lowered his eyelashes, thinking quietly.

Before nightfall, everything was very quiet.

The other players lived with the villagers in the same group, except Gu Le, who was arranged by the village chief alone in his house.

At 10:30, the village head knocked on Gu Le's door, and Gu Le opened the door to let the village head in.

The village chief did not go in, but gave him the black bag in his hand, and whispered: "After you go in, open this bag, take out the contents and sit on the stool we prepared for you, if someone Come in, just pull the rope at your hand, and we will come in immediately."

Gu Le nodded to show that he understood.

After the village chief finished speaking, he left. Gu Le watched the village chief leave, then sat on the wooden chair, looked at the black bag, his eyes were full of thoughts.

The moon hangs high outside the window, and on the treetops, a black shadow quietly falls on the tree.

He looked straight at Gu Le, with a little puzzlement in his eyes, as if he was wondering why he came here and followed this person.

After a long time, he said in his heart.

——I paid attention to him just because he was brave, and there was no other personal reason.

This reason convinced Hei Ying, he continued to stand on the tree, and through the window, he could see Gu Le sitting by the window at a glance.

Hei Ying didn't realize how gentle he was looking at Gu Le at the moment.

——like looking at a precious treasure.
