嗞~嗞!!
In the darkness before dawn, a pile of weeds burned on the banks of the Fen River, bringing a trace of warmth and dispelling the cold.
Fang Xiaolong was half-naked, holding his shirt in his hand. He was wringing the water, wanting to dry his clothes.
"Phew…I'm really unlucky. I didn't expect to come out with Uncle. But I met a river demon."
"My current attack methods are still too few.”
"And with just a small flame, such a spell…It could only deal one point of damage to the river demon.”Fang Xiaolong muttered to himself as he looked at Ninth Uncle, who was sitting cross-legged.
System, demon pay-to-win system, come out now."
Ding! Host, do you have any requests?
System, is there a mall?
Ding! Host, yes. However, one had to have paywall value to open the demon paywall mall.
In that case, could he owe it in advance and give him an attack spell for free?
Ding! Host, the system does not accept credit. Thank you for your cooperation.
Paralysis! (◎o◎)/!\ (◎o◎)/!
The system notification sounded in Fang Xiaolong's mind, and he looked embarrassed.
——————
At dawn, the sky was slightly bright. The first ray of sunlight rose from the east, bringing a trace of warmth to the earth.
"Phew…"
Ninth Uncle sat cross-legged with his five hearts facing the sky. He continuously circulated his magic power for thirty-two great cycles. He slowly opened his eyes and exhaled a mouthful of turbid air.
"Xiaolong, let's go." Ninth Uncle looked at his nephew, who was sleeping soundly beside him.
"Hmm? Uncle, you're done circulating your cultivation." Fang Xiaolong was in a daze, his eyes were hazy. He sat up and rubbed the corner of his eyes with his right hand, yawning.
Gulp! Gulp!
At this moment, Fang Xiaolong was growling by himself. He was obviously hungry.
After all, so many things had happened last night.
Fang Xiaolong had been swimming in the icy Fen River for almost an hour, and his calf had almost cramped.
Anyone who had swum before knew. Swimming was a very exhausting exercise.
"Are you hungry? What to do…All the rations fell into the river.”Ninth Uncle looked at Fang Xiaolong's belly and frowned. He was obviously in a dilemma.
Although Ninth Uncle's cultivation was profound, he was still a human after all. Even if he hadn't reached the realm of fasting, he still had to eat grains.
"Uncle, do you know the way? How many miles was it from here to the Guan Village?”Fang Xiaolong rubbed his stomach with his right hand. He felt weak all over and instinctively swallowed his saliva. He really wanted to eat something.
"This place…is in the southeast direction. It's about…seven to eight miles away from the Guan Family Residence.”
Ninth Uncle took out a sheepskin map from his inner shirt and carefully opened it. He looked at the location marked on the sheepskin map and roughly deduced it.
Because it was the early years of the Republic of China, there were no so-called telephone and telegram machines in the countryside all over the country.
Basically, other than horses, communication was done on foot!
"Let's go then. If they went back now, there was no boat. There are still river demons in the river. Our escape route has been cut off.”
Fang Xiaolong immediately stood up, tied his straw sandals, and looked around. There was a small hill not far away.
"This is the only way now.”Ninth Uncle carefully put away the sheepskin map and kept it in his undergarment for safekeeping.
Thus, Fang Xiaolong followed Ninth Uncle and walked for nearly two hours before finally arriving at the Guan Family Residence.
"He's here, Ninth Uncle is here!”
Ninth Uncle and Fang Xiaolong had just entered the village when they were surrounded by a large number of agitated villagers.
Ninth Uncle raised his hand and said loudly,"Who can tell me what happened?"”
"Make way, make way!"
The old chief of the Guan Family Village had white hair and two long eyebrows. His beard was three feet long. He held a walking stick in his hand and walked out of the crowd with a trembling body.
"Ninth Uncle, you're finally here. This old man is the Clan Leader of the Guan Family, Guan Chang Su.”
"Don't be anxious. Tell me the cause of this matter first. I will definitely subdue that monster.”Ninth Uncle raised his hand to comfort him and began to gather information.
"It's like this. A month ago, on the night of the full moon. In our Guan Family Village, a young man suddenly hanged himself at home.”
"Moreover, right in front of his old mother. As if she had epilepsy, his mother wanted to stop him. However, he forcefully kicked her away.”Director Su slowly began to narrate the events.
"His old mother hit the back of her head on the corner of the table, and her head instantly bled.”
"Then he…took the hemp rope and hanged himself. It was not until the next morning that we found the body.”Guan Changsu couldn't help but let out a long sigh as he said this. There was a lingering fear on his face.
"And his old mother is also dead.”
"After that, the young men in our village made two coffins from their corpses. They were transported to the family cemetery in Sanlitun outside the village for burial.”
"I saw with my own eyes that the two coffins were buried in the soil.”
"I thought that this matter would be over once it was over. After returning to the village, every household burned red paper and set off firecrackers to dispel the bad luck.”A trace of fear suddenly appeared in Guan Changsu's murky eyes.
"But…something creepy happened.”
"At noon the next day, a clansman who was out planting seedlings passed by the clan cemetery. She wanted to give it to her dead father-in-law. He lit an incense stick and walked in."
"I happened to pass by the grave of the clansman who hanged himself. However, he realized that it was empty. The entire cemetery had disappeared.”
"Even the two coffins that were just buried disappeared into thin air!”The more Chief Su spoke, the more terrifying it became. His hoarse voice instantly increased by an octave.
How strange!
This was too f * cking strange!
After Fang Xiaolong heard this, he couldn't believe his ears. Was he hallucinating?
