In order to make it convenient for these people to live, the village head arranged these people and crowded them to other homes. Before leaving, he locked all the horses in the cowshed.
The cowshed of the village head's house was built like a small house, with only one window and one door. It was built of soil around. After all the horses were shut in, even the windows and doors were firmly inserted from the outside.
Li Qing muttered, "village head, you are too careful. Are you often robbed?"
The village head sighed, "if you were defeated by a thief, I'm afraid it's not a thief."
He told me again and again, "guys, I didn't want to take you in, but it's going to rain soon. The old man took you in for God's sake. You can't come out at night. No matter who knocks, don't open the door."
Qi Yun, ADA, Li Qing and others frowned again.
"Old man, what's going on? Let's be clear, otherwise, what should we do if we get up all night? You can pee in the house. What if it's big? "
Qi Yun asked.
With hesitation on his face, the village head touched the one hundred Liang silver in his pocket and struggled.
For a long time, I sighed heavily.
"Well, I'll tell you the truth, old man, if you don't earn money with unconscionable conscience, any living creature in our village will die when it comes out at night, whether it's human or animal. As long as you don't go home after dark, you can see their bodies when you get up the next morning.
So every family's cowshed and stables are built like a prison, in order to prevent the monster from harming these cattle and sheep. "
"Make a demon?"
Qi Yun and others showed doubts.
"Don't think I'm lying to you. The monster will knock on the door himself. When it's dark, just sleep. Don't open the door no matter who knocks, otherwise you'll die as soon as you open the door."
The village head said, "when the old man said this, you can live if you want. If you don't live, you'll get the 100 Liang silver back."
He said and took out the previous one hundred and twenty.
Qi Yun smiled, pushed his palm back and said, "since there is a demon, why haven't you reported to the official before?"
"Who said he didn't report to the official? The official came once and disappeared three that night. Then he reported to the official and no one paid any attention."
Said the village head.
"Then why don't you move away and why do you still live here?"
Ah Da asked.
"Not all the younger ones have left. What can stay is that we are not agile. Besides, it's hard to leave our hometown. We can't say to leave. As long as we don't go out at night, we'll be fine. We've been used to it for so long."
Said the village head.
"OK, thank you, sir. We promise not to open the door."
Qi Yun nodded.
The village head breathed a sigh of relief, stuffed one hundred Liang back into his pocket, turned and left, and went to the other four Jianghu guests to explain.
"Second master, can you believe the old man's words?"
Li Qing asked.
"Better believe in something than nothing."
Qi Yun said: "also, the four Jianghu people just now are not good people. Be careful that they will come at night."
"Don't worry, I've noticed them for a long time."
Ah Da's eyes are cold.
The sky soon darkened. Qi Yun and them had eaten dry food and had an early rest.
The old man's house is not small. Qi Yun has one room by himself, and the rest are divided into two rooms, just enough to squeeze.
Soon after they lay down, there was a rainstorm outside, with a loud noise, accompanied by bursts of thunder.
A rainstorm lasted for several hours and finally stopped at midnight.
In the room nearly a hundred meters away from them, the four Jianghu guests during the day did not fall asleep. There were lights and candles in the room. A younger one took out a steel knife, licked his lips and said, "master, the daytime ones are rich fat sheep. We can't wait. The rain stopped. Let's go and do it now. So is the old village head. He is so old and greedy, Give him some knives in the evening. "
"Ha ha."
The head of the old man smiled and said, "don't underestimate those people during the day. There are several experts there. The people brought by the young boy are basically trained."
Another young man nearby glanced and said, "what can we do even if we have practiced? Are there still few Jianghu heroes who have died in our hands? If we chop them, they may make a lot of money. You can see that they are used to spending a hundred liang of silver in the daytime."
The old man also nodded and said, "Sun Li, you go with them. I'll help you here."
"Don't worry, Qian Lao."
The middle-aged man also drew out the steel knife and flicked it gently, making a metal sound of clang.
They opened the door and sneaked out.
As soon as they left, the old man in the room was ready to get up and close the door.
Just then!
Hoo!
A gust of Yin wind blew, the candles in the room went out instantly, and the house fell into darkness.
"Who?"
The old man opened his eyes violently and reacted very quickly. He took a few steps back and grabbed the steel knife in his hand.
The room was dark. Through the open door, you could see the moonlight just appeared in the yard. There was nothing but moonlight.
The old man was puzzled. He grabbed the steel knife and waited quietly.
Complete silence.
After drinking tea, he frowned and walked towards the door.
The yard was empty and there was no movement.
"It seems that I'm too sensitive."
The old man whispered and closed the door again.
Bang bang.
As soon as the door was closed, bursts of sounds like chewing bones began to ring. The old man's eyes widened and suddenly turned back.
Ah!
A cry of surprise came to an abrupt end.
…
Far away.
As soon as the middle-aged man and two young people climbed out of the wall, they heard a voice similar to scream from the rear, and couldn't help frowning.
"What's the matter? Is money always barking?"
Sun Li wondered.
"Certainly not. Who is the master? How could he be yelling? Don't think about it. I don't know which villagers have nightmares. Go and get rich quickly."
A young man couldn't wait.
They took action again and turned over to Qi Yun's yard.
As soon as he got to the top of the wall, Qi Yun in the room suddenly opened his eyes and held the black iron staff in his hand.
"Give me some dexterity. Don't entangle and make a quick decision."
On the wall, the middle-aged man whispered.
The two young people next to him all nodded with bright eyes.
"Don't worry, one knife at a time. No one wants to run."
"Well, go down."
Sun Li nodded and jumped down from the wall.
Just then!
Bang!
The window blew open, and the black iron staff flew out of the air, like a black light, and hit Sun Li's body, making him hum miserably. His body flew more than ten meters on the spot like a broken sack, smashed through the wall and fell in the distance. He could not die again.
As soon as the two young men landed, they were stunned, looked back, swallowed their saliva and showed their horror.
