Chapter 27 The Hanged Bride

"What do you think?"

Li Yunhua glanced at everyone and naturally thought of himself as the leader.

The two followers quickly agreed, "Just follow Brother Li's instructions. We have no objections."

After saying this, he looked up at Lu Changsheng and the other person, as if to demonstrate.

Lu Changsheng smiled coldly in his heart and said nothing.

He wanted to know what solution Li Yunhua could come up with.

Being able to quickly find and kill the evil spirits will also benefit you.

Yue Shulan also said nothing. She looked at Lu Changsheng and both fell silent.

Seeing this, Li Yunhua smiled slightly, feeling quite pleased with himself.

Then he continued, "Since we can't get anything out of him, let's just cut the Gordian knot. The other party will definitely make another move, so we just need to wait and see. When the time comes, we will rush forward and kill this evil creature..."

Yue Shulan felt very contemptuous when she heard this.

Anyone with a normal brain can come up with this idea.

The key is whether the cunning person hiding in the dark will really do as he wishes and will act rashly?

You know, as warriors, they have strong energy and blood, and are extremely conspicuous at night like little suns.

As long as that strange creature has consciousness, it will definitely not act rashly.

But she didn't click on it. Instead, she said in agreement, "I have no objection. What about Brother Lu?"

After saying this, she turned her beautiful eyes to Lu Changsheng.

"Then let's do it."

Lu Changsheng shrugged, looking indifferent.

Since Li Yunhua wanted to try this simple and crude method, he had no objection.

If it succeeds, that would be great. If it fails, just think of another way.

Soon everyone reached a consensus and decided that five people would each guard an area.

Li Yunhua naturally chose to sit in the middle of the village.

The rest of them each chose a side to guard.

Lu Changsheng chose the eastern area of ​​the village.

After dividing their respective defense areas, the few people dispersed.

At this time, the sky gradually darkened, and the afterglow of the setting sun seemed to carry wisps of blood, scattered on the surrounding dead trees, looking very strange.

After Lu Changsheng parted with a few people, he walked along the small dirt slope and soon arrived at the courtyard of a house in the east of the village.

There were a few pieces of white cloth hanging in front of the yard, fluttering in the wind.

"Squeak..."

He pushed open the shabby wooden door and walked in.

"Who is it..."

A middle-aged woman in linen clothes came out with a very alert look on her face.

After seeing Lu Changsheng, he was stunned for a moment, then he forced a smile: "It turns out that you are the official from the county town, please come in quickly..."

She had also seen Lu Changsheng and his group during the day, so she naturally let down her guard.

"I will be here for a few days."

Lu Changsheng smiled kindly.

Then he walked into the house with the other person.

At this time, the woman and her family were having dinner. On the tattered wooden table, there were several bowls of plain porridge.

There is no other food besides this.

A little girl of five or six years old was eating with gusto.

Seeing someone coming, the little girl looked at Lu Changsheng with curiosity.

Next to the girl was a middle-aged man with a weathered look on his face.

After seeing the person's appearance clearly, the man knelt down immediately.

"Please avenge our family."

"Among those ten bodies, are there any members of your family?"

Lu Changsheng's expression changed slightly, and he felt a little regretful.

The lives of the poor people are already extremely difficult, and they are often attacked by evil spirits. Their life is simply worse than death.

"It was my son, who was killed more than ten days ago."

The middle-aged man burst into tears.

The woman next to her also started crying.

After a moment, they both wiped away their tears.

"Make the adults laugh."

The couple looked apologetic.

"Your Excellency should just stay in the master bedroom. This house is too run-down and it would be a shame to neglect you..."

"No need, I'll just stay in the yard." Lu Changsheng refused with a smile, then walked out of the hut and sat cross-legged in the yard.

As night fell, the air became colder, but as I had just mastered martial arts, I did not feel the slightest chill.

A night passed quickly and Lu Changsheng did not find anything unusual.

Seeing that the evil spirit would not show up in the short term, he began to devote a part of his mind to controlling the pangolin to search for the elixir.

For the next three days, Lu Changsheng searched for elixirs while staying in the village.

No abnormalities were found.

However, he did discover a few more strains of spiritual medicine, which made him quite happy.

Another day of this passed, and still nothing strange happened.

This day, early morning.

Lu Changsheng frowned. This was not a solution.

We can't wait forever.

He decided to take the initiative.

At lunchtime, when the middle-aged couple returned from their farm work, Lu Changsheng got up and walked into the house.

He got straight to the point and asked, "Brother Yang, before this incident, were there any unusual incidents in the village?"

As he spoke, he took out a candy and handed it to the little girl next to him.

"Thank you, Uncle Lu."

The little girl thanked him crisply. They had become familiar with each other over the past few days and she was no longer afraid of Lu Changsheng.

Old Yang thought about it carefully for a while, then shook his head.

"The village is quite remote, with few outsiders coming and going, and everything is very peaceful and quiet."

"Did anything strange happen a few years ago?"

Lu Changsheng's eyes moved slightly, and time moved forward for a long time.

Sure enough, the next words of the two caused a ripple in his heart.

At this moment, Yang's eyes suddenly lit up, and she spoke first: "Since you mentioned this, I remember some old stories."

"Five years ago, a bride died in the village. She was only about 16 or 17 years old. The story was widely spread in the village at the time and it lasted for a long time, but then it was gradually forgotten."

"It is said that the bride had a lover, so she had no choice but to marry Mr. Zhang, who is in his thirties. Mr. Zhang's family is quite wealthy, second only to the village chief..."

"Later, the bride hanged herself, and her lover went crazy a few years later. Lao Zhang also died. This incident caused a big stir at the time."

Old Yang standing by also nodded repeatedly.

"I went to see the funeral of Mr. Zhang. It was such a tragic death..."

After he finished speaking, there was a hint of fear in his eyes.

"Is it true that Lao Zhang's eyes turned red and bulged outward when he died?"

Lu Changsheng asked softly.

Old Yang's pupils shrank, as if he thought of something.

"Could it be...?"

He couldn't believe it and his whole body began to tremble.

At this moment, outside the wooden window, the moonlight was dancing, and the courtyard was very quiet. Three or two night crows were standing on a dead tree in the distance, and their dim eyes seemed to be full of malice.

"Is that crazy man still alive?"

Lu Changsheng continued to ask.

"It's still there, it's still there..."

Mr. and Mrs. Yang nodded repeatedly like chicks pecking at rice.

"The man's name is Peng Yuntian. If you want to find him, just go out of the yard and go one mile east. There is a big locust tree in front of his dilapidated yard."

Lao Yang immediately told the address.

"Thank you, Brother Yang."

Lu Changsheng smiled slightly, took out a small piece of silver from his arms and placed it on the wooden table.

Although it was less than one or two taels of silver, it was enough for several people to live on for several months.

It’s not that he didn’t want to give more, but if he gave a few taels of silver, it would probably harm the family.

They can't hold on.

"My lord, this...cannot be done."

Mr. and Mrs. Yang quickly waved their hands to refuse, with fear on their faces.

In front of the two men, the official Lu Changsheng was like a god, so how could they dare to take their money?

"Use it to buy something delicious for the kids."

Lu Changsheng smiled, and without waiting for the two to refuse, he walked out of the house, taking two steps at a time, and soon disappeared in front of the two.

Mr. and Mrs. Yang came back to their senses and stared at Lu Changsheng's back with gratitude on their faces.

"This Lord Lu is a good official."
