Nightcrawler: 20 Years of Peaceful Demons

Chapter 117
Chu Xiaotu searched for Ah Da all night, and we also worried all night, but when we saw that the man who picked up the manure was not Ah Da, we immediately became anxious.

I couldn't help the doubts in my heart, stepped forward, and asked the man directly: "Excuse me, where is your lord?"

When the man saw me, he laughed and said, are you looking for Ah Da?He went out.

I was taken aback, where did I go?

The man said in embarrassment: "If you go out, you are out. I'm just a guy who chops wood and burns fire. How do I know this? Don't ask me, don't ask me..."

He carried the dung bucket and walked towards the alley.

I wanted to chase after me a little bit, but I felt Xiao Jiu's sharp eyes when looking at me, but I still didn't move after all.

I stopped in my tracks, then turned around and asked, "You know what?"

The old lady grinned, showing a mouthful of black and yellow teeth, and asked inadvertently, "Why, what do you want from him?"

I shook my head and said nothing, I just wanted to ask.

The old lady said this, and asked me how do I know?I'm not in charge of this, I have to find Fourth Sister, she is the one who manages people, and I don't understand.

I saw her innocent expression, thought about it, and finally didn't ask any more questions.

In fact, when I questioned that man just now, I was a little impatient.

The situation was already in front of us, something happened to Ah Da.

Something must have happened.

I kept walking forward without saying a word, and saw that in the early morning of the village, there was sunlight slanting down from the top of my head, falling on the bluestone path covered with blue moss, falling on the plum blossoms and In front of the stilted building.

There was a stooped middle-aged man sweeping the street. He was so careful that his whole energy fell to the ground, and he didn't even realize our approach.

He is immersed in his own world.

Or, immersed in a weird cycle of being controlled.

My heart feels a little uncomfortable.

The future is beautiful, even if you spend money to travel, it is difficult to see the beautiful scenery.

However, I don't know why, but I always feel that there is a beast lying on the hill in front of me, with its bloody mouth open and drooling, waiting for us to step in.

And at that time, Yueniang and Chu Xiaotu will turn into hideous old women.

And Xiaohu and I are like slaves, living here in a daze, working hard every day, working hard, but in the end we don't understand what we are doing.

The village is not big, so we left the village in a short time and walked towards the back mountain along a path behind the village.

The mountains are green and green, and there is a stone road at the foot. On both sides of the road are tall and dense bamboo forests. Phase growth.

The dense forest at the bottom of the ditch is as green as emerald, and the whole valley is covered with green velvet. Not far away, there is a river.

I don't know if it is connected to the water where the toad was hiding before, but the river water is like flowing gelatin, and the humid air also feels like crystal.

Above the dense forest, there are dense layers and intertwined branches. It is difficult for the sun to hit the ground, and the rare sunlight that is missed is like a brightly colored insect crawling on the moss and the light red withered fern.

The scenery is beautiful, the only downside is that it is early in the morning, and there is sunshine, but it makes people feel inexplicably cold.

As I was walking, I looked at the surrounding bamboo forest, and I always wondered if someone would suddenly jump out of the bamboo forest, or shoot at us with that strong bow and arrow.

I always feel like there are poisonous snakes crawling on the back of my spine.

Goosebumps spread from my back all over my body.

As we go further in, the light becomes sparser. Xiao Jiuer leads the way, and while walking, introduces us the appearance and characteristics of the soul-calling plants and the knowledge points about where they grow.

I fell behind, winking with Xiaohu and Chu Xiaotu.

If we follow the steps arranged by the girls of Luohua Cave, I'm afraid that we will be sent to death properly this time.

We can't do this, so we can only make trouble halfway and hold the initiative in our own hands.

The two around me are smart people.

Basically, I made a wink and immediately understood what I wanted to express. Xiaohu started to dawdle deliberately, staying behind, and then looked at the surrounding situation.

The same is true for Chu Xiaotu, making sure that there is no one else around except Xiao Jiu, a woman from Luohua Cave.

Probably feeling that our pace was getting slower and slower, Xiao Jiu suddenly turned around.

With a sullen face, she said, "What's the matter with you?"

I hurried forward and said with a smile: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, the young man has not been trained, so he can't walk fast, please forgive me."

Xiao Jiu stared at Xiaohu who fell at the back, pointed to Yueniang on his back and said, "You guys came out to collect medicine and brought a sick number - he is so small, you can carry it on your back, this way it will be faster ..."

Hearing what she said, my heart suddenly beat rapidly.

Oops, Oops!
Yesterday, we reasoned that Yueniang was due to exhaustion, but today, she is still in a coma, which is unreasonable.

These Luohuadong girls must have been suspicious for a long time.

People are not mentally retarded, it is impossible not to see it.

Then why didn't they expose us?This is really worth discussing.

I smiled awkwardly and said, "He, they are a young couple. There are differences between men and women. I used to carry it on my back. It is not convenient after all."

Xiao Jiu looked at me with squinted eyes, and said calmly: "Okay, just don't delay the time."

She turned around and continued to lead the way, but at this moment Chu Xiaotu came over and gestured towards me, indicating that there was no one following.

Xiaohu also hurried up and expressed the same meaning to me.

He walked very fast, even with Yueniang on his back, he was walking like flying, he overtook me in an instant, and then walked towards Xiaojiu.

I gestured to Chu Xiaotu and Xiaohu to tell them to wait.

There must be something in it that we can't see, but we just haven't noticed it.

However, Xiaohu's temper was a little impatient, and before I could finish speaking, he walked up to Xiaojiu.

He was in a hurry, because if he went any further, he might reach the deadly place.

At that time, we probably really fell into the trap.

No one wants to be a slave, to be driven around.

When Xiaohu put the Moon Lady on his back on the grass next to him, and then took out the sickle at his waist, my heart beat violently at that moment. Just as I was about to stop him, I saw Xiaohu hunched over the old woman's back. rushed away suddenly.

He raised the sickle high and cut it down suddenly.

Swish!
Don't look at this kid's young age, but he is a bold and skilled person. Once he takes action, he is simply resolute and decisive, without any delays.

The moment his body moved, I also rushed forward.

Although I feel something is wrong, since I have already acted, I can't procrastinate.

We have to catch the person quickly, and then interrogate what we want to know.

However, when I rushed to the front, I found that the situation was a bit beyond our expectations.

The old lady named Xiao Jiu was lying down in a pool of blood.

She died without any resistance?

Holding the sickle dripping with blood, Xiaohu stood there in a daze, not knowing what to do.

That's not how the script was written.

Shouldn't the Luohuadong girl fight us for a few rounds, and then we go up together, capture her, and force out the secret of Daigui Village from her?

Why did he lie down in a pool of blood without any resistance?

I walked up to him, pushed Xiaohu away, knelt down on the ground, and put my hand between the old lady's nose.

Not breathing.

I put my hand on the other person's neck again, feeling the beating of the pulse.

No pulse.

died.

My heart was half cold, I suddenly got up, grabbed Xiaohu, and said, what are you doing?

After the incident, Xiaohu was a little dazed, muttering "I killed someone" and "I killed someone", when I pushed him, he suddenly raised his head and said excitedly, "You asked me to kill someone!" ,It's you."

I was in pain, and said with a wry smile, "I'm gesturing to you to tell you not to do anything first, something is wrong."

Xiaohu said nervously: "No, no, you whispered in my ear, let me kill her, you asked me to kill her..."

He talked over and over again, trying to shirk responsibility.

Snapped……

A loud slap broke Xiaohu's murmur.

Chu Xiaotu gave Xiaohu a push, and then said seriously: "Don't panic, don't panic, calm down, you have to calm down, take a deep breath—they are all bad people, they are the ones who want to harm us, you killed her, yes Just self-defense, it's okay, it's okay."

She stepped forward and hugged Xiaohu in her arms.

Xiaohu's terrified heart was soothed by Chu Xiaotu, and he finally broke free from the extreme fear, took two deep breaths of cold air, and then broke free from Chu Xiaotu's embrace.

He said to me: "When I swung the knife just now, she didn't resist."

I said I know, I can see clearly.

Xiaohu said again: "No, with her cultivation and reaction, she can definitely stop her - I was afraid that she would resist fiercely and startle the snake, so I hit so hard."

I said I know, don't panic, since the incident has already happened, let's deal with it quickly and drag the person to the side of the road so that no one will find out.

Xiaohu nodded and said um, um.

He bent down, hugged Xiaojiu's thin body, dragged her to the side of the road, walked a few meters into the bushes, and suddenly shouted: "Wait, where is Yueniang?"

what?
I turned around, looked around, and found that Cai Yueniang, who had been placed on the side of the road by Xiaohu just now, had disappeared.

what happened?
