Chapter 48 The Underworld Pig Face (8)

Facing the scrutinizing eyes of the villagers, I used my thick-skinned skills to pretend I didn't see them; there are many bachelors in this place, and a beautiful girl like Xiao You quickly attracted those malicious eyes away. A group of idlers stared at Xiao You, as if they wanted to strip her naked.

Originally, I could bear it, but when I saw this, I couldn't bear it immediately, and immediately put my arms around Xiaoyou's shoulders, and stared, "What are you looking at, I haven't seen a girl before!" Probably my expression became more fierce, and those people suddenly Cowardly, he retracted his gaze.

While talking, suddenly a few rare middle-aged men gathered from all over the alley and went to the patriarch to report the situation. It seems that they were sent by the patriarch to scout for clues.

The rest of the people had nothing to gain, only a man with messy hair pointed to the northeast corner and said, "Patriarch, there are some marks left there, as if something crawled over there."

My heart moved, and I said, "Traces of being crawled over?"That must be the snake demon. The roads in this village are mostly loess roads, the soil is very thick, and any traces can be seen clearly.

When the patriarch heard this, his expression changed immediately, and he asked the man to take him there.

Our group of spectators followed behind, and soon found the trace of the snake demon. It really was a very conspicuous crawling trace, and the trace stretched all the way to the northeast.

Everyone followed them, and soon the traces spread outside the village.

Only then did I realize that there were scattered dilapidated buildings outside the village, which looked in disrepair, as if no one had lived in them for many years, and they looked crumbling.

The traces spread all the way to a weedy area, not far from that place, there was a crumbling wooden house.When the patriarch brought everyone here, he stopped suddenly, and without knowing why, he suddenly said: "It seems that we can't catch up, let's go, let's go."

This is gone?

Obviously there are still traces extending, can you continue to trace it?Could it be that the patriarch saw that it was a snake monster, so he was scared?The rest of the people obviously thought of this too, with worried faces on their faces, they didn't say much, they walked back in twos and threes, and during the conversation, I heard some tone.

These people obviously all thought of the snake demon at the same time. For some reason, the people in Huangquan Village always seemed to have an extreme fear of the snake demon.Take me and the doctor as an example, we have seen that thing with our own eyes, but even so, our fear may not be as deep as that of these villagers, even in the eyes of the doctor, that thing has nothing to do with monsters at all, But... an ancient creature?

Well, I probably can't keep up with the doctor's thinking. Although I don't want to admit the existence of the snake monster, it's quite embarrassing for me to admit that the half-human, half-snake thing is some kind of ancient creature.

Since everyone was walking back, it was inconvenient for the four of us to stay here. On the way back, I saw the patriarch worried, with his hands behind his back, and his sparse eyebrows frowned into a pimple.

I always feel that the patriarch's behavior is a bit weird, he has already chased here, why did he suddenly give up?Who live in those dilapidated buildings scattered in the mountains?

Halfway through, the doctor yanked Xiaoyou and me and led us into an alley.Brother Wei, with sharp eyes and quick hands, also dodged and hid in.

There are quite a lot of houses here, and the lanes are complicated, so it is easy to hide.

"Doctor, what are you doing?" Xiaoyou asked in a low voice.

Jin Le lowered his voice and said: "When they leave, let's continue looking." After speaking, he asked Brother Wei: "There are some wooden houses in that direction, what are they for?"

Brother Wei was also obviously puzzled. He shook his head and said, "I don't know. When I was a child, I received money every month. The old bachelor would take me with me. I waited outside the village. At that time, he told me not to go there."

"Over there?" I said, "Is that the place just now?"

Brother Wei nodded.

I suddenly felt even more strange, so I asked, "Did he say the reason? Why can't he go?"

Brother Wei shook his head and said that he had asked, but the old bachelor Wei seemed to keep a secret about the matter over there. He was beaten up after asking, and he was only told not to go to that area, but he never explained why Pass.

The doctor smiled and said, "Brother Wei, are you interested in going to see it?"

Brother Wei hummed, and said: "It seems that that area is related to the snake demon. It's too reckless to just go there. I think I should go back and pack some things, such as: oil."

I was suddenly surprised, and said to myself: I didn't see it, Brother Wei seems to be honest, but he actually has the idea of ​​cleaning up the snake demon, maybe he wants to avenge Old Bachelor Wei and Gouzi?
In any case, such courage is commendable.

Since the three of us outsiders were very eye-catching, Brother Wei went back to pack up our things. After the three of us were gone, we searched for the traces of the past and continued to inspect.

When the climbing marks reached the weeds, the ground could not be seen, but the overwhelmed grass clearly pointed out a way for us.

Looking forward along the weeds, I saw a high mound in the distance. Because it was close to the settlement in the village, there were no large trees growing, but dense weeds.

The crumbling wooden house next to it was empty, with nothing in it, and I don't know who repaired the house here in the first place.

After waiting for a short time, Brother Wei came over with a small basket on his back.

There is a pot of cooking oil in the back basket, four hatchets, just one for each person, and a bundle of ropes.

I was dumbfounded when I saw the rope, and I thought, could it be that he still wants to tie up the snake demon for public display?

After getting things ready, the four of us searched for traces in the grass, all the way there, holding a hatchet in our hands, watching all directions and listening to all directions. I feel that I have never been so alert in my life.

However, we only searched for traces in the grass for a short time, and suddenly, the traces were interrupted, as if the snake demon disappeared out of thin air in the grass.

The four of us were at a loss for a while, standing in the weeds half as tall as a person, looking at each other, not knowing what to do for a while.

Xiaoyou said, "Should we look for them separately?"

I said: "If you don't die, you won't die. Have you seen American adventure movies? If the protagonist and his party act separately, in the end, except for the protagonist, everyone else will definitely die."

Xiao You said: "I don't watch American dramas, I watch Korean dramas."

The doctor interrupted us and said: "Look around, but don't separate, don't be too far away. Fortunately, we searched all the way and didn't see any blood, which means that the monster didn't kill Liu Crazy after it was kidnapped." , Crazy Liu is probably still alive, she is pregnant, I can't leave her alone."

I gave him a thumbs up and said, "You let me see the greatness of the medical staff again, buddy, I salute you." While speaking, the four of us started to search around the weeds.

The vegetation in this place is dense, and it is not easy to see the road. I had just walked two steps, and suddenly I tripped over something hard.
