Thinking of the strange scenes he saw in the village during the day, as well as his missing sister's family, the smart Ajie kept it in mind and did not go forward to ask. Instead, she hid nearby and secretly checked.
About half an hour later, the people who had entered earlier were all carrying bowls of water and seemed to be very cautious.
The people knelt at the entrance of the cave and drank the water together.
Ajie thought to herself, are these people worshiping something?
But doing this in the middle of the night is too intrusive.
Ajie felt a little scared and thought she would wait until dawn before looking for someone to ask. Just when she was about to leave, the people suddenly started wailing like crazy.
They were wailing and kowtowing, and what was even more incredible was that the eyes of those people were glowing green like animals.
Ajie was so frightened that she lost her wits. Fortunately, she covered her mouth in time, otherwise she would have been discovered. What would have happened?
Ajie didn't dare to stay there any longer, so she hurried home and hid under the quilt.
She didn't know how she survived until dawn.
She originally thought about leaving this strange place at dawn, but just when she was about to pack her things and leave, she saw several baskets placed in her sister's yard.
There is some licorice in the basket.
Ajie knew that these licorice were medicinal herbs and could be sold for money after being dried.
In her spare time, my sister would pick some licorice in the mountains to supplement the family income.
My sister has always been diligent and thrifty in running the house. She couldn't just leave the herbs she had collected so hard and leave home.
Feeling suspicious, Ajie looked around and found that more than that, the arrangement of things in the house and some unprocessed moldy food showed that her sister did not leave the house normally.
If she really takes her family out to work, she will definitely pack up her home before setting off.
Leaving suddenly like this can only mean that something happened to my sister.
But why did everyone in the village say they didn't know where my sister had gone? And the village chief, the only one who knew where my sister had gone, also lied.
Ajie has had a good relationship with her sister since she was a child. If something happens to her sister's family, she must seek justice for her sister.
Before Ajie could continue to find the village chief, the village chief came to Ajie's sister's house early in the morning and asked Ajie to leave.
Ajie asked the village chief where her sister and the others had gone.
The village chief said that he didn't know either, he only knew that he went out to work.
Ajie didn't express her doubts, she just said that she finally got here and wanted to spend two days here.
The village chief looked ugly, but he didn't say much.
Ajie just lived in her sister's house.
But she wants to eat.
She couldn't find any edible food anywhere, so she looked for a few villagers, but they ignored her.
There was no other way, so she thought of drinking well water and eating some dry food first.
Just as she was about to fetch water, she saw a group of people gathering under the jujube tree.
She vaguely seemed to see a hole under the jujube tree, and there seemed to be many figures inside.
She used to often play in the jujube tree, but she had never found a tree hole there.
Looking at those people again, all of them had strange expressions, and the things they discovered at her sister's house before, Ajie became even more confused.
So she tried her best to investigate everywhere, but there was no one in the village during the day, and at night they would go to the cave in batches to get water.
She just wondered if there would be anything wrong with the water?
On the third night of her arrival in the village, she heard a noise in the middle of the night.
Because she had been suspicious for a long time, she was careful not to fall asleep unless absolutely necessary.
There was a light shining on the place where she was sleeping, so she pretended to be asleep on purpose.
She heard someone outside whispering: Is there anyone there?
It's the village chief's voice.
Ajie was very scared, but she didn't say anything.
The village chief thought she was asleep, so he continued talking: If she changed the water she drank, if she just drank our fairy water, she would not tell anything about the village.
Ajie didn't move and let them change her water.
On the second day, Ajie deliberately took the water she had replaced again and drank it.
She knew that someone must be spying on her.
She imitated the behavior of the villagers, with a cold expression, and sat in the yard without moving for a whole day.
In the evening, the village chief came again and asked Ajie tentatively.
Ajie thought to herself, could it be that the water could make people obey? Or maybe it was telling the truth.
So she deliberately said that she was here to see her sister and found that the people in the village were suspicious and wanted to investigate.
Seeing that she told the truth, the village chief thought that she was also under control and asked her to go to the cave entrance to get water and drink it every night to save her life.
She just infiltrated the villagers and found out that there was something wrong with the fruit they drank. However, she had been here for half a month and still hadn't found out who was behind it.
I have never seen the person who gave them the magic water.
It's just that the situation of the villagers seems to be getting worse and worse. They have to eat a lot of raw meat every day. Sometimes they don't have enough to eat and they will fight each other.
When Ajie said this, she couldn't help but shudder.
"So, you have been hanging out with those villagers these days?" Jiang Nan asked.
Ajie sighed and said, "I only see them at night, and I don't know where they are hiding during the day. I have been investigating for so many days, but I still haven't found anyone."
"By the way, what happened to the woman who died in the cave?" Jiang Nan asked.
Just as Ajie was about to answer, the cave suddenly trembled.
Ajie was so frightened that she quickly ran to Jiang Nan.
"What, what's going on?"
Jiang Nan leaned against the cave and listened carefully.
It seemed like something was approaching them.
Ah Jie suddenly thought of something.
"It's broken. I heard from the villagers before that there seems to be a mythical beast in their village. What kind of beast is it called? This guy is really powerful."
As soon as Ajie finished speaking, a huge monster suddenly rushed over.
"Be careful!" Jiang Nan pulled Ajie to avoid the strange force.
After he stood firm, he realized that a monster three to four meters tall and covered with hair appeared in front of him.
Wherever this guy goes, the ground trembles.
You can imagine how powerful it is.
"What should we do now? Are we going to die here?" Ajie was already frightened and at a loss.
Jiangnan is very calm.
"Hurry up and see where the exit is." Jiang Nan pushed Ajie away and flew to deal with the monster rushing towards them.
