Brother, I protect you!

The door of the room was opened a crack, and Yuan Shi vaguely heard several people talking in the room, as if there was still some quarrel.

Just when he was about to try another one, the door of the house opened.A man in an old blue cloth came out from the inside. He looked about 30 years old, probably because he often did rough work, his body was very strong, and his eyes were wary.

"Come in first!" The man said quickly, pulled them in, and quickly closed the door.

"Thank you, brother!" Yuan Shi led Wuyou and followed the man quickly into the room.

Yuan Shi entered the room and saw an old lady and a child, about five or six years old, sitting next to him. This child should be the one they saw outside the door just now.

"At Xia Yuanshi, my nephew, Wuyou, has disturbed everyone tonight!" Yuan Shi bowed to the old lady, and then clasped his fists to the man just now to show his thanks.Wuyou also saluted the two of them.

"You're welcome, it's just that the humble house is simple, so it's good that you don't dislike it." The old lady smiled, "This is my son Zhao Xiang and grandson Zhao Rui."

"Okay, after tonight, hurry up tomorrow." Zhao Xiang waved impatiently.

Yuan Shi didn't mind Zhao Xiang's attitude. It seemed that Zhao Xiang didn't want to let them in the house just now. It was probably the old lady's decision to let them in.

"I don't understand something, I wonder if the old lady can explain it for me?" Yuan Shi still wanted to ask clearly so that he could have a clear idea.

"Where are there so many questions, it's good to let you in, if you want to ask, go out and ask!" Zhao Xiang got a little angry.He did not agree to let strangers in. Now that the village is full of evil spirits, it is too dangerous to let strangers in like this.But he had no way to refute his mother's meaning, so he could only let the door open to let them in.

"Xiangzi, don't be rude!" The old lady frowned and gave her son a look. "Young master, if you have any questions, just ask!"

Zhao Xiang held his breath and walked aside.

Looking at the old lady's expression, Yuan Shi felt that the other party knew what he wanted to ask, so he didn't hesitate any longer. "Walking from the entrance of the village on the next road, I hardly saw anyone on the side of the road, and every family closed their doors, but is there any special reason?"

The old lady sighed, "This village was full of people coming and going half a year ago, every house was open at night, and it was the busiest among the surrounding villages." The old lady paused, and then said, "On the day of the Ghost Festival In the evening, every household took out the prepared offerings to worship the ancestors. Suddenly, people began to hear screams from the next door. From the end of the village to the head of the village, a group of evil spirits came to arrest the young woman from house to house. If anyone resisted, He was killed immediately, and the body had to be taken away. In this way, people in every family were killed or taken away." Speaking of this, the old lady had tears in her eyes.

Worry-free ran over and patted the old lady's arm lightly, "Don't cry!"

"Hey, what a good boy!" The old lady was immediately amused by Wuyou's appearance.

When Yuan Shi saw the old lady saying that someone had been taken away, the eyes of the man named Zhao Xiang were also a little red, and the child who had been standing beside him was about to cry.

"Madam, could it be...?"

"That's right, my wife, the child's mother was also taken away by those evil spirits!" Zhao Xiang suddenly said from the side.

Yuan Shi also couldn't help sighing. He didn't want to advance the family's sad news, but for his and Wuyou's safety, he had to ask clearly, "I don't know what the evil spirit you are talking about is like? Is it a ghost?"

"Hmph, such a group of beasts are not worthy of being called human beasts!" Zhao Xiang clenched his fists and gritted his teeth.

"Then there are still people who escaped alive? Do they still come to snatch people often?" Yuan Shi asked.

"No one came back." The old lady seemed to have recovered from the emotion just now. "After this incident, the whole village got together to discuss ways to save people, but no one saw them bring people to Where did they go? Later, everyone seemed to agree that no one would come back, and the days slowly passed. Who knew that after two months, they came back again, and this time not only took the woman away, but also Children will be taken away too."

Yuan Shi tensed up instantly, and glanced at the child next to him.

Zhao Xiang noticed the look in his eyes, "This time to catch children, only the children from the families at the east end of the village were taken away, but everyone knows that those evil spirits will come again in a short time, maybe next time. You can escape. So in the past few months, many families have moved out, and there are not many left." Zhao Xiang patted his son on the back.

"Then why...?" Yuan Shi wanted to ask why some people would continue to stay here since they could move away.

"After all, this is where our ancestors lived for generations. The old man is still buried behind. I don't want to be too far away from him!" The old lady stared outside.

"I want to avenge Xiaomei. Even if I can't kill those evil spirits, I will die with them." Zhao Xiang has made up his mind. The old lady once tried her best to persuade him to take his grandson to leave, but he didn't want to leave, not only worried about the old lady Staying here alone, he also wants to avenge his wife, and he can kill one of them.The son was also unwilling to leave, saying that he wanted to wait here for his mother to come back.

Yuan Shi heard the reason why they didn't leave, he could only sigh a long time, and didn't try to persuade them anymore, if the matter happened to him, he would definitely not leave.

"Is there no one in the village who can stop them? Have you ever asked for help from outside the village?" Yuan Shi thought that such a major event that endangered a village had happened, and some people from the village had gone out. It stands to reason that the outside world should already know what happened here. , there should be people from the imperial court or the martial arts sect to which this place belongs.

"We are at the boundary of Yunzhong City, Fenghe City, Baiwang City, and the three cities. Because of the location, this place is not under the jurisdiction of any sect. However, something like this happened. The sect reported the letter, but..." Zhao Xiang was a little helpless and disappointed when he said this, he didn't know whether it was because the people who went out did not deliver the letter, or the sects were unwilling to send people, no matter which one it was, it was doomed that no one would come to rescue him. They, get rid of those people for them.

"By the way, since you are going to Wind River City, leave immediately tomorrow. It's not long since the last time the evil spirits came to snatch people, and they probably won't come again. However, if it's convenient, I hope you can stop by for us. Send a letter, even if we are all dead, I hope someone can avenge us!" Zhao Xiang stared at Yuan Shi, and if Yuan Shi was willing to deliver the letter for them, it would be worth letting him in for the night.

"Brother Zhao is your duty." After Yuan Shi leaves, he will definitely send letters to other sects. It is better to resolve this matter sooner rather than later, otherwise more villages will suffer.

At night, Wuyou lay next to Yuan Shi, moved the hand held by Yuan Shi, and asked in a low voice, "Uncle Yuan, is this place very dangerous? Can we still see my master smoothly?"

"Wuyou don't have to be afraid, Uncle Yuan will protect you, and will bring you safely to your master." Yuan Shi comforted Wuyou, tapping on Wuyou's back lightly.

At night, Yuan Shi heard the sound of the old lady coughing from the opposite room, but he didn't feel better. He got up slowly, went to the outer room, and asked softly through the curtain, "Is the old lady okay? I know a little about medicine. If it's convenient, why don't I let you take a look?"

After a while, Zhao Xiang came out, "Are you a doctor?"

"That's right!" Yuan Shi didn't always see a doctor at ordinary times, and the miracle doctor saw a doctor only because of fate...

Zhao Xiang went back to the house and helped the old lady out, and said to Yuan Shi, "My mother has been coughing all the time for a month and night, but she is fine during the day. She took some medicine, but she didn't feel better. Please show me!" Zhao Xiang Knowing that Yuan Shi is a doctor, everyone respected him.

Yuan Shi took the old lady's pulse carefully, and put the old lady's hand back after a while, "It's just that the lung qi is damaged, it's fine, I'll prescribe a prescription..." Speaking of this, he raised his head and asked Zhao Xiang, " Can you still buy medicine in the village?"

"Yes, yes, there is an old pharmacy in the village. The old doctor was the only one left in the family. After this happened, the old doctor stayed at the pharmacy every day. It is thanks to the old man that everyone was injured. You won’t die.” Zhao Xiang still admires this old gentleman.

"That's good." He said and handed the prescription to Zhao Xiang, "I can use pears, ginger, and honey first, and make a juice for the old lady to drink, which can relieve it temporarily."

"Okay, I'll go right away!" Zhao Xiang helped the old lady into the house and hurried to the kitchen.

Early the next morning, Wuyou and Uncle Yuan had a simple breakfast at Zhao's house, then followed Uncle Yuan to the east of the village.Along the way, Yuan Shi asked Wuyou to follow him closely, and he also prepared some poisonous powder.Wuyou could feel Uncle Yuan's nervousness, so in order not to make Uncle Yuan worry too much, Wuyou tried to act as relaxed as usual.Yuan Shi really regretted not taking a detour now, he shouldn't let Wuyou get involved in this danger.

Just when he was about to leave the village, Wuyou saw that there was a black mist in front of him, which made him unable to see clearly, and he couldn't help but start to get nervous.Yuan Shi also noticed, Wuyou was hugged by Yuan Shi and quickly hid behind a house, looking ahead quietly.

But for a moment, when the black shadow in front of him became clear, there were about 30 people, each wearing a large black robe with a skull pattern tattooed on it, and the left half of their face was red like a rune black petals are painted on the right half of the face, and a very big eye is drawn in the middle of the forehead, which looks extremely terrifying and disgusting.Just as Wuyou was about to shout, Yuan Shi quickly covered his mouth with his hands, Wuyou began to tremble in fear, tears began to flow down unconsciously, Yuan Shi hugged him tightly with his arms.

Wuyou saw with his own eyes those people who looked like evil spirits, they rushed into a room randomly, first they heard a burst of panic shouting, and then suddenly there was no sound at all, and then there was a constant The corpses were pulled out of the house like rubbish.

Wuyou tremblingly watched the group of ghost-like people enter the house in front of him and Uncle Yuan, and then came out quickly, and heard him say to the people around, "This house has also run away!".

A man in black robe who walked in the front, the strongest, turned around and said angrily, "Hmph, how dare you escape, kill them all, don't leave any of them!" Then these people really looked like evil spirits In the same way, everyone in the house started to be thrown out, and the ground was instantly covered with blood.Then there were shouts of killing, cries for help, begging for mercy and children's cries.

Wuyou's heart began to throb when he heard that, tears couldn't stop flowing down silently, his eyes were red, but he couldn't move, and he didn't dare to move, his legs were shaking now, and his stomach was twitching a little, he probably couldn't even stand Don't get up, or if Uncle Yuan was hugging him behind him, he would have fallen to the ground by now.

He could feel Uncle Yuan's anger now. Uncle Yuan was holding his wrist a little tight, which made him a little hurt, but he didn't speak.

The author has something to say: Wuyou: It's so scary, brother Mu, come and save me!

Bailichun: Count to three, I will definitely be there!
