Chapter 76 Dead, dead again, there is a big pit in the yard
Liang Du was in an extremely happy mood after Gui Xie had gained so much.
Although he only has one copper mark and one gray mark left, he doesn't pay too much attention to it.
This time, he finally had a clear understanding of his own strength and was naturally not as hesitant as before.
He seems to be ridiculously strong.
According to Du Zhishan's description, maybe not only in the Yongning Mansion area, but also in this world, he is a strong person.
Moreover, there are countless evil spirits in this world, and I just need to slowly accumulate them, and I will definitely become stronger and stronger.
However, his attention was not here at this time, because his sixth sense told him that he might be getting closer to the group of people who borrowed the knife.
I just don’t know who I will meet first.
Unconsciously, he walked through the mountains and forests, and a village reappeared in front of him.
He looked at the village in front of him, and the corners of his mouth could not help but curl up slightly.
With such a heavy evil spirit, it seems that my sixth sense is right, and I am about to gain something again.
He slowly walked into the village, and there were three words written on the stone tablet behind him.
"Tanluo Village."
However, along the way, many houses in Tanluo Village had white lanterns hanging at the door, draped in linen and white clothes.
Liang Du couldn't help but look a little solemn.
There are quite a lot of people dying here.
However, although Liang Du was dressed in linen and leather, his temperament was so outstanding that he did not look like a mountain man, but more like a gentle scholar.
In addition, he was not from the village, so he was inevitably watched along the way. Not long after, the village leader of Tanluo Village appeared in front of him.
"May I ask this gentleman, why did you come to our Tanluo Village?"
Liang Du smiled and replied: "I am a scholar from Yongcheng. I have been traveling recently to sketch landscapes. I passed by your village today. It is getting late. I wonder if I can stay overnight?"
Muramasa took a look at the sky and realized that it would not be a good idea to let the scholar travel at night.
Muramasa thought for a while, looked at Liang Du's harmless appearance, and finally nodded.
"Okay, but you have to promise me not to leave the house at night.
Even if you hear something at night, treat it as if you don’t know it.”
Liang Du looked around and saw a lot of paper money on the ground.
"Don't worry, village chief. I understand the seriousness and will never cause you any trouble."
Seeing the scholar in front of him being so sensible, Muramasa felt relieved and took him to his house.
"If you don't mind it, you can stay in my wing. Since it's been unoccupied for a long time, it might smell a bit musty. Don't mind it."
"Muramasa was joking, I'd be very grateful if you could stay with me for one night."
Liang Du deliberately catered to Muramasa's attitude, which made Muramasa have a good impression of him.
Because it was getting late now, after dinner, Muramasa asked him to go to bed early, and repeatedly told him not to go out at night.
When Liang Du asked about the reason, he kept silent and only said that it was not peaceful.
"Scholar, you should rest early and get up early tomorrow to hit the road. Don't delay your trip."
Seeing Muramasa being so cautious, Liang Du couldn't figure out anything and stopped talking.
Anyway, no matter what happens at night, it will be clear by then.
.......
The blood moon is in the sky.
The third uncle looked panic-stricken at this moment. He checked his house again and again and found that there were no omissions, so he breathed a sigh of relief.
Too many people died.
In the past three days, more than ten people from their branch have died.
They all died in the latrine.
The villagers in the whole village look at them in the wrong way now.
After Lu Datou died the next night, they immediately went to find Zhai Po, only to find that Zhai Po had already disappeared.
This made people like Third Uncle even more panicked, and what happened in the next few days also confirmed his uneasiness.
dead.
People die all the time.
In the village, almost every household of their branch has white lanterns hanging high and white cloth draped in linen.
Although they were worried that Lu Laoqi's unjust ghost would come to do harm, in order to prevent new evil spirits from being born, they gritted their teeth and buried the dead soul in fear.
But at this time, he, the patriarch, had almost lost his prestige, and this was the last straw.
At this time, a cry suddenly sounded in the room.
The third uncle, who was already upset, was about to scold him, but found out that it was Lu Laoqi's son who was crying, and he endured it instantly.
At this time, this child is his ancestor.
The third uncle thought very clearly that if it was really Lu Laoqi who claimed his life, this child would be his life-saving straw.
In fact, after so many people died, Muramasa wanted to report to the official, but was stopped by everyone in the third uncle's branch.
Since they were the only ones who died, Muramasa and other villagers had no choice but to give up reporting to the official.
However, Muramasa and others also had some other ideas at this time. Why are the Lu family unwilling to report to the official even though they are facing a life-threatening crisis?
Muramasa thought it might be because of Lu Laoqi's daughter-in-law. After all, Xiaocui was buried alive by them and buried with Lu Laoqi.
Could it be that they are worried that if this matter is revealed, they may all face imprisonment? In addition, some people are lucky and always believe that it will not be their turn, which is why they are like this?
No matter what, this matter must be complicated and complicated, and finally formed the strange situation now.
Lu Laoqi's child is still crying, and no matter how much his third uncle's family members try to comfort him, they can't stop it.
This made the third uncle even more upset.
Normally this child doesn't cry or fuss, why is he so weird today?
Suddenly, the third uncle felt something in his heart.
Legend has it that children can always see things that adults cannot. Could they be seeing dirty things?
Thinking of this, he stood up involuntarily and rushed to the room to pick up the child.
"Be good, kid, don't cry, tell grandpa, what did you see?"
"Dad, mother! I want father and mother."
The child's teeth were a little unclear, but the third uncle was completely stunned after hearing this.
They're really here.
In panic, he quickly asked his family members to lock the doors and windows and cover the child's mouth.
Don't dare to make any noise.
All the oil lamps were blown out at this time.
In the darkness, only the normal sound of their nervous heartbeats was left.
"Dad, I need to pee urgently."
After almost half an hour, there was no movement inside or outside the room.
At this time, the third uncle's youngest daughter-in-law finally couldn't bear it anymore.
His youngest son immediately glared at her.
"Hold it! Don't you see what's happening now?"
If normally the little daughter-in-law had an urgent need to urinate in her room, she might be able to find a basin to solve the problem.
But now, with a big family crowded together, how could she be embarrassed?
At this moment, there was a sudden flash of golden light in the yard, and there was a soft sound, and then there was no movement.
This time, the third uncle could not help but feel even more panicked.
The little daughter-in-law finally couldn't help it and peed her pants directly, blushing with embarrassment.
The third uncle's face turned pale and he was thinking quickly.
Those people who had the accident before had no such activity in their homes.
This night passed with the third uncle and his family in a state of anxiety. It was not until the sun rose that they heaved a sigh of relief.
Survived.
Under the scorching sun, nothing strange will happen during the day.
As for the child in the third uncle's arms, he finally couldn't bear it any longer and had already fallen asleep at this moment.
At this time, he handed the child to his wife, and then he cautiously went out to check.
It didn't matter what he saw, but his heart almost stopped.
There is a huge hole in his yard.
What happened last night?
…
The other side.
After dawn, Liang Du got up. When Muramasa saw him, he couldn't help but feel a little satisfied. It seemed that the scholar had listened to his advice last night.
Muramasa was in a good mood, so he took him to have breakfast together and prepared to send Liang Du off.
"Sir, if you leave earlier today and walk faster, you should be able to see the inn, so you don't have to spend the night in the wilderness.
There are some things to do in the village today, so I won’t send them to you.”
Liang Du shook his head at this time.
"Muramasa, maybe I can't leave."
"ah?"
"I met a dirty guy last night. How could I leave without beating him to death?"
