In the ancient town …
"Patriarch, you have to help me!" Woo woo ~ ~ "A middle-aged woman hurriedly ran out of the chief's house and cried out.
When the Patriarch heard someone crying outside his door, he came out to see that it was Da Niu's daughter-in-law. Seeing her teary face, the Patriarch asked, "Da Niu's daughter-in-law, what's wrong with you? Why are you crying?"
"Chief, you have to help me. The child's father left yesterday, but still hasn't returned. I've asked all the neighbors in the area, but they still haven't seen the child's father. Did he get taken away by the ghost or something?" The woman had an extremely grieved expression on her face, "Patriarch, you must help me." "Howl, howl ~ ~"
The clan leader frowned slightly, but he still comforted her sincerely and said, "Da Niu's daughter-in-law, don't be too anxious. I'll have the robust men of the village look around."
"Chief, what do you think we should do if something happens to Da Niu?" You must help me get Da Niu back. "
Da Niu's daughter-in-law, go home and wait for the news. Being this anxious is not a solution right?
When they returned home, the patriarch couldn't help but be suspicious. In the past few days, since the few people who came, in order to avoid the limelight, the organization had been restrained a lot, and no one had died before. Could it be that the disappearance of Da Niu was related to them?
In the secret passage of the Village Head's house, he walked into the cave to investigate.
"You're here." He saw that there was only one black clothed person in the cave.
"What's going on?" The clan leader looked anxious, "Didn't I tell you to restrain yourselves for the next two days?" How could someone die in the town? "
"What happened this time was originally just an accident. I only wanted to test whether or not the medicine man would be able to use it without the help of the blood droplets, but who knew that the medicine man would lose control and bite the people in the town. Fortunately, I found the medicine man in time to bring him back. " The man in black said calmly.
"Do you know that if the people from the town find out that we did this, then I'm done for?" The clan leader's face was filled with anxiety.
"Alright, you can rest assured. I won't let anything happen to you. Didn't that group of people already discover his corpse and sent it to the Yizhuang? "
"What do you mean?"
"You go back and tell the people in the town that they killed them. If we take this opportunity to kill them off, our plan will be much smoother without them. "
"But those people don't seem to be that kind?" Hearing that they wanted to kill those people, the clan leader couldn't help but feel a trace of hesitation in his heart. He didn't want to get himself burned to death.
"What's there to be afraid of? So many people died in the town, not many of them. I believe you have a plan." "Moreover, you can rest assured that he will help you if one of them is our man."
Hearing the man in black say this, the chief seemed to have made up his mind all of a sudden. "Alright!" He turned around and left the cave.
When the patriarch returned home, he did not stay idle. He immediately prepared to go to Da Niu's daughter-in-law's house, but Da Niu's daughter-in-law was hiding in his house and crying. Her house was lacking a backbone, causing her to be scared out of her wits, and even the children there could not be bothered. The neighbors came to comfort her, but to no avail.
Upon hearing that it was the Patriarch who had come, Da Niu's daughter-in-law ran out of the house hurriedly, "Patriarch, how was it? Did you find my Da Niu? "
"Yeah. Patriarch, have you found Da Niu yet? I saw that Da Niu's daughter-in-law was almost crying from anger. The townspeople at the side asked one after another.
"Sigh, I just heard someone say that those outsiders seemed to have brought something to the Yizhuang, and they were even sneaking around as if they were afraid of being discovered. I was wondering if it was possible that they had harmed Da Niu. Otherwise, why would they want to sneak into the Yizhuang in broad daylight? "
"What? Daniu, he …" Before she finished speaking, the Da Niu's daughter-in-law had already fainted with a flick of her wrist. Everyone could only help her to rest inside the house.
"It must be them. We have already seen that their group of outsiders did not have good intentions. Let's go to Yizhuang to take a look. If it's really them who harmed Da Niu, we definitely cannot let them go. " A townsman said.
"Right." The rest of the townspeople chimed in.
Seeing that the townspeople were in such an uproar, the chief revealed an imperceptible smile on his face.
"Sigh, then I'll ask first. Maybe Da Niu isn't there and is still alive."
When the Da Niu's daughter-in-law heard that something might have happened to Da Niu, she was already scared out of her wits and fainted. Everyone carried her into the house to rest.
"Da Niu's daughter-in-law, you should rest at home and take care of your body. We will go find those outsiders right now. Don't worry, if those outsiders really hurt Da Niu, this old man will make them pay with their lives."
After pacifying the Da Niu's daughter-in-law, the Patriarch brought the group of people to the Yizhuang.
Feng Yu and Xuanyuan Zhan stayed behind, and just as Ling Weigongzhu was about to head towards the cave to investigate.
"There is a formation outside the cave. If we enter from there, we will definitely be discovered." Feng Yu said.
"My Yu Er seems to have become smarter." Xuanyuan Zhan scratched Feng Yu's nose lightly, "We naturally can't be that foolish to be discovered by them."
"We have to think of a way to attract the chief, and sneak into the cave from the secret passage in his house to investigate." Xuanyuan Zhan said.
The two of them had finished discussing their plans and were about to set off. Just as they walked out of Yizhuang, they saw the patriarch leading a group of clansmen over to Yizhuang's side. Feng Yu felt that something bad was going to happen to them, as if something bad was about to happen.
The crowd in the distance also saw the two of them, "They are over there. "Let's go."
The Clan Chief walked to the front of Xuanyuan Zhan and the others under the escort of the rest, "Foreigner, the Da Niu from our town has disappeared, have any of you ever seen him before?"
"How did we meet the people from your town?" Feng Yu said.
Feng Yu's heart was constantly beating uneasily. She had a feeling that the patriarch would not come so easily to find him. It definitely had something to do with the person who died. Feng Yu thought that it would be better to have less to do, so she didn't plan to tell them about that person.
Seeing Feng Yu say this resolutely, as they had never seen anyone from the town before, the patriarch knew that they did not want to cause any trouble. A faint smile appeared on her face as she said, "Then, could the two of you let us take a look?"
Feng Yu knew that things would not be as simple as she thought, and immediately stopped them, "This place is the Yizhuang, and everyone here are already dead, I hope clan leader does not disturb the dead."
"There are too few people in our town. We want to see them, do we need your permission? Naturally, we will not disturb the peace of the dead. We hope that you can let us in to take a look. " One of the village names spoke.
"That's right, that's right, we're just here to take a look." Once someone started it, the villagers all joined in.
Ling Wei who was inside the Yizhuang heard the noise coming from outside of the Yizhuang and peeked through the crack of the door.
Ling Wei eavesdropped that those people were looking for their clan members, Ling Wei looked at the man who was bitten to death by the medicine man and guessed that the person was most likely the person who went missing in the town.
This won't do, I can't let those people find out the cause of death of this person. Although the wound on that person's neck was rotten, Ling Wei could still see traces of being bitten. Ling Weigongzhu immediately took out a small porcelain bottle from his sleeves, opened the bottle and sprinkled some white powder onto the man's wound. He then took out another porcelain bottle, opened the man's mouth, and poured the liquid from the bottle into his mouth.
It was strange to say that a dead person would not swallow anything, but the liquid seemed to have been absorbed and not even a drop was let out.
Hmph, even if you die, you can still do something for me, this is your greatest honor. Ling Weigongzhu thought in her heart.
Outside the door, everyone had barged in, but Ling Weigongzhu had hidden herself even before everyone had pushed open the door and entered. After everyone had entered, they did not see Ling Wei.
Feng Yu looked at Xuanyuan Zhan in doubt, but after thinking for a moment, due to the ruckus outside the door, it seemed that Ling Weigongzhu had long since heard him and ran away, or else he hid himself.
When the group of people entered, they saw Da Niu who was lying in the Yizhuang. When they saw Da Niu's death, they couldn't help but sigh.
"You two are foreigners, do you have anything to say now? You still want to lie to us?" When one of the clansmen saw that the one laying in the Yizhuang was indeed Da Niu, he concluded that they were the ones who caused her death.
Feng Yu was helpless. Could it be that this group of ignorant villagers wanted to frame them? It must have been instigated by that chief. Thus, he glared at that chief with hatred.
"Patriarch." Xuanyuan Zhan said, "Take a good look, this person was obviously bitten to death by some wild beast, you can tell from the bite marks on his neck. If you don't believe me, you can take a look. "
After Xuanyuan Zhan finished speaking, Feng Yu also thought of this point. After which, she turned around to look at that person, only to see that that person's neck had been badly mutilated, and already could not tell what had caused that person's wound. Xuanyuan Zhan and Feng Yu looked at each other and understood that they had been set up this time.
"But the wound on Da Niu's neck is so vicious, who can tell what it was?"
"In my opinion, it must be because you guys killed Da Niu and were afraid that we would discover him that you caused his injury to become like this." A clan member said.
Hearing that the villagers were making trouble for them, Feng Yu really wanted to give each of them an ear. Damn it, are they all brainless people? You would believe anything others said.
"Hey, hey, hey. Everyone, please listen to me." The clan leader said, "Perhaps those two did not kill Da Niu, but did. Da Niu was only bitten to death by wild beasts, and they just sent him to the Yizhuang."
"Then why did they say they didn't see Da Niu and weren't willing to let us go into the Yizhuang to check? There must be a ghost. Da Niu must have been killed by them. Patriarch, please don't speak up for them anymore. "
"Yes, it was they who killed him. Ever since they came to our town, we haven't had a single moment of peace. And now they've actually killed our people. "
"That's right. Kill them for their lives. We'll tie them up to the altar and burn them to death to pay tribute to Da Niu's divine soul."
"Yes, burn them."
The townspeople echoed one after another, wanting to tie the two of them to the altar.
Feng Yu thought to herself, these people are really stupid, but this group of people were too excited. They surrounded the two of them tightly, and one of them took out a rope to tie them up.
Feng Yu was just about to make a move, but was stopped by Xuanyuan Zhan.
"They are all innocent village names, don't hurt them, let's see what they plan to do first."
Feng Yu felt helpless and could only give up.
The villagers were very passionate, and without a word, they tied the two of them up.
A crowd gathered around and tied them to the altar.
"Burn them to death. Burn them to death. "
Feng Yu looked at Xuanyuan Zhan helplessly. The two of them were currently tied up on the altar, surrounded by people who were holding torches to burn them to death.
Xuanyuan Zhan indicated to Feng Yu not to panic.
Standing in the middle of the crowd, the clan leader's face revealed a sinister expression. He thought to himself that at this point, there would be no one to obstruct his movements anymore.
