The last time I went to the mad sorceress's village committee, I had a faint feeling that something was amiss, but because I was taken away by the mountain god and was delayed, when I went back to look for her, the mad sorceress was no longer there. It was the reason that such a big incident happened, so I did not dare delay it any longer.

Hu Guyue also followed behind me. He did not ask me what I was running for, he just followed me and ran.

The old officer's house is now next to the village committee room. When I went in, the family was eating. When they saw me, the old officer quickly invited me to eat with them.

I sat down on the table and took the bowl and chopsticks but didn't eat. Instead, I asked the old officer, "Does our village have a Goddess before the mad sorceress?"

"I suppose so." The old officer half closed his eyes, took a sip of wine and said, "But I don't really remember, it seems to be mad sorceress's master. She picked up the master herself."

"What about her before?" Indeed, it's just as I thought, what are mad sorceress and the rest guarding?

The old officer took another sip of his wine and thought for a while before saying, "I heard from my grandfather that the Goddess was also picked up by the Goddess —"

After saying that, he laughed and waved at me. "Is this matter with the mad sorceress not over yet?"

I didn't say anything, but the old officer sighed and said, "Our village has always been very peaceful, not even the matter of a dog biting someone has happened. With this incident, there are so many snakes that come to our village to ask about it. What do you call that? "

I nodded, but then I heard him mumble, "Speaking of which, I just remembered that mad sorceress and the others are pretty funny, they don't seem to want to get married. When they get old and can't walk anymore, they just bring back a little girl from the outside of the village. If you are curious, come take a look inside the broken wooden house in guanyin pavilion. Before that place is sealed, it was used by mad sorceress and the rest to stay there. "

This is really an unexpected gain, I immediately thanked him and the old officer called me to eat again. Being so grown-up, it isn't good to eat leftovers, so I could only bite the bullet and eat until I finished my meal with Hu Guyue, then turned and walked towards guanyin pavilion.

guanyin pavilion was said to be a temple in the village a long time ago.

The place had always been there, visible from above, but in my eyes it was a shitty wooden house.

When I was young, I was even envious of the location of this house. I argued with my mother that I was going to live there, and my father fed me a good meal of bamboo shoot fried meat.

It stood at the junction of the two rivers in our village. Two sides of the house faced the water, while one side leaned against the mountain behind. Both sides faced the river bank and built a stone bridge.

The house was like a paradise, connected to the world from these two stone bridges.

When I was young, I liked to play on this stone bridge the most when I was with the village boy. I picked up crabs from the river and came here to play because the lines on the stone bridge were very clear.

Perhaps it was because the water was more abundant, but the wooden house was surrounded by trees. In the middle was an old two-story wooden house. It didn't have any carved beams or pillars like the one in the temple; it was all solid material.

At that time, they were all wooden houses. There was no varnish or tung oil, and the sun was shining and the rain was falling. The wooden houses had already turned pitch black, but countless vines were crawling up from the houses.

He heard from the old officer that this house had been here since he could remember, his grandfather said at that time that it was already quite old, but when it broke through the fourth generation, it was sealed, and even the master of the mad sorceress was chased out. They did not have anywhere to stay, so they came to live on the village committee.

Hu Guyue and I stood at the side of the stone bridge, quietly looking at the black wood house behind the green vines. Even after all these years, we still haven't fallen, it's still a miracle.

"Don't go in." Hu Guyue suddenly pulled on my clothes, shook his head at me and said: "This place is very dark."

"I can't see." Hu Guyue's voice was filled with fear, he pulled me towards the back of the stone bridge: "Standing outside the stone bridge, I can see that it's just like looking at a normal house, there's nothing strange at all. But on this stone bridge, everything around this house is pitch black, I thought I was blind, so in the blink of an eye, I could clearly see everything else."

"It's pitch black?" I followed the direction of Hu Guyue's hand and retreated outside the stone bridge. I stared into his eyes and said.

"Yes." Hu Guyue's eyes were obviously not in a good mood as well. After exiting the stone bridge, he immediately rubbed his eyes: "This place is scarier than any other place I've been before. This kind of black is different from the black air I've seen before, it's thicker, darker than the night, it's really as thick as ink. "Young mistress Chen, let's not go."

"Yes." I nodded my head. It was true that I couldn't go to this place. I had to find out first.

This kind of thing is more direct than asking a Grey Immortal. Taking Hu Guyue along, I looked at the house that was hidden behind the shade of green.

mad sorceress and the rest were all girls that were picked up from outside the village, and they went to pick them up only when the previous generation was too old to move.

Could it be that he was like a living Buddha from the Western Regions, born with it? Isn't that too ridiculous?

Moreover, what were they doing? They were clearly about to die, yet they picked up a girl from somewhere and left her in the village without a care.

Why did the mad sorceress and the rest want to go the same way they did before? Isn't it much easier to get married and have children?

When I returned home, my mother glared at me when I returned, "Qin Chenmo, you're capable of escaping without eating. Your father was not afraid of you last night, right?"

"Mom, I'm already in my twenties." I sighed and said to her in a low voice, "I understand the seriousness of this matter."

After saying that, my mother's eyes immediately turned watery. She waved her hand at me, but didn't say anything else. She just told me that she would tell her if I had any matters to discuss with her in the future.

I know that from the moment I married the snake, my parents were especially worried about me. Especially after mad sorceress was bitten to death by a dead snake, his corpse was even bitten to pieces and eaten by the group of snakes. This shocked them too much, but I didn't know how to console them.

Could it be that he wanted to tell them that there was a huge problem in the village? Isn't this scaring them even more?

Returning to the room, I asked Fourth Young Master to help me bring back Grey Immortal. This guy hasn't seen any more mouse hairs since last night when he went out with Liu San and the others.

When this damn mouse was carried back, its entire body reeked of alcohol, but it still had not woken up. It burped non-stop, squinted its human-like beady eyes, and laughed at me: "Qin Chenmo, you are late, so there's a penalty of three cups."

When I woke up, I brought him a cup of water from the side of the bed. His entire body was drenched in hair, and he quickly shook the water off from his head, only waking up after a long while, "Qin Chenmo, what are you doing?"

"mad sorceress died, bitten to death by a dead snake that broke her neck. Last night, the village snakes crossed the border and crawled into her coffin to eat her corpse." I squatted down and looked straight into the eyes of the Grey Immortal, quietly watching him.

At least, back then they had sent a betrothal gift to the mountain god together. Now that the mountain god is dead, I don't believe that the Grey Immortal can still keep his cool.

The Grey Immortal was stunned and then screamed at the top of his lungs. He looked at me and said, "You must have been there when she died, right? Right? She will definitely let you watch her die, right? "

With each sentence, Grey Immortal jumped up quickly and pointed at me. "Qin Chenmo, mad sorceress is dead, your village is in trouble. Please tell your parents to quickly run away."

After saying that, he started to run away with his tail stepped on. He turned his head and shouted at me unwillingly: "Qin Chenmo, you are crazy, you will die here! You can't run away, don't make us not be able to run away either, okay?"

"Explain yourself." This is the first time I have seen the Grey Immortal in such a state of panic.

Grey Immortal whipped his tail furiously as he stared at me and said, "There are some things that you can't say. It's best that you don't know."

"mad sorceress has always been catching snakes near the village. She hid the corpses of the snakes inside the walls of the village. I saw that the Grey Immortal was panicking and had calmed down.
