Jian Anran walked in and said in an unseemly soft voice, "Maybe I can help you."
Mrs. Li slowly raised her eyes and looked at Jian Anran doubtfully. She choked up and then hesitantly said: "How can you help me?"
"Old lady, please tell me what you know. Maybe I can find a way to get A-Zhen back."
Listening to Jian Anran's words, Mrs. Li's eyes lit up little by little, but then she became decadent again.
She sighed and waved her hands: "Hey, let's forget it."
Jian Anran was not surprised by Old Mrs. Li's reaction. She just looked at Old Mrs. Li seriously: "Old lady, are you really willing to let A Zhen go?"
As soon as Azhen was mentioned, the old lady's tears couldn't stop falling.
She cried for so long that her eyes were red and swollen now.
Jian Anran handed Mrs. Li a tissue and waited quietly for the other party to speak.
If the other villagers don't say anything, it doesn't mean that Mrs. Li can hold it in.
After all, it was her child who was missing.
Jian Anran still has an impression of Azhen, the most beautiful woman in the village.
How could Mrs. Li feel so good when she disappeared like this?
Jian Xingxing on the side blinked, walked slowly to Old Mrs. Li, and said in a sweet voice: "Grandma, Aunt Azhen must be very scared alone, my sister is super powerful! As long as she takes action
, we can definitely save Aunt Azhen!"
"Hey...it's not that simple..."
Seeing that the old lady was relieved, Jian Anran winked at Jian Xingxing.
The latter immediately understood and said while the iron was hot: "Then you have to give it a try!"
There was deep struggle in Mrs. Li's eyes.
After a long time, as if he had made some important decision, he finally said, "Okay, I'll tell you, but these are village secrets and have never been told to the outside world."
Jian Anran nodded slightly and motioned for Mrs. Li to continue speaking.
Mrs. Li pursed her lips and was silent for a long time. Then she said hesitantly: "Actually, this matter goes back many years. Our village has always been troubled by werewolves."
"Old Mrs. Wang's family was ruined because of the werewolf. When Old Wang died, no one in the family could handle his funeral affairs. After discussing with each other, we decided to build a tomb.
.”
Speaking of this, Mrs. Li couldn't help but sigh sadly.
The last one was Old Man Wang, wouldn’t the next one be her?
Now A-Zhen is missing, and her only son is still young. If something happens to her, not only will there be no one to take care of her funeral, but even her youngest son Zhuang Zhuang will be in trouble.
"Werewolf?"
Jian Anran raised her eyebrows, with a hint of confusion in her voice: "What's going on with the werewolf? I feel like no one in the village is willing to mention this matter."
"Yes, it's a werewolf. Mrs. Wang's granddaughter was picked by a werewolf and became the bride of a werewolf. We still remember that when Mrs. Wang's granddaughter was taken away, Mrs. Wang cried and begged the werewolf not to do anything to her.
I tried to attack my own granddaughter, but there was nothing I could do, and the beautiful little girl was taken away."
Speaking of this, Mrs. Li thought of her own A-Zhen again, and her tears couldn't stop falling.
Jian Anran handed a tissue to Mrs. Li and comforted: "We will go find Azhen, but how long has it been going on for the werewolf to choose a bride?"
"It has been hundreds of years. Every twenty years, the werewolves on the mountain will come down and choose a beautiful woman as his bride. If the werewolf chooses a bride that satisfies him, he will bless the village with good weather for twenty years.
, until the next time you choose a bride.”
When the werewolf was mentioned, Mrs. Li thought of A-Zhen, and her tears couldn't stop falling.
Her dim eyes were filled with reluctance and pain.
Jian Anran saw it clearly.
She reached out and patted Old Mrs. Li on the shoulder and asked, "In that case, the family selected by the werewolves is sacrificing their own happiness for everyone. Why are these people in the village so disgusted?"
"Hey...who would want to ruin their family?"
Mrs. Li shook her head.
"Being selected by a werewolf means that you will lose your children forever, and naturally it becomes a symbol of disaster, just like our A-Zhen, who was suddenly taken away..."
They chatted sideways for a while and found that there was no more news, so they said goodbye to Mrs. Li's house.
Standing at the door of the courtyard, Jian Anran and Chu Yan looked at each other, and both saw the solemnity in each other's eyes.
There are more and more secrets in this village.
"Let's go, let's look for clues about werewolves,"
Jian Anran sighed and rubbed his head irritably: "I really didn't expect that it would end up like this."
"Solve it one by one."
Chu Yan's voice was neither urgent nor slow, with a reassuringly low and gentle tone.
He reached out and touched Jian Anran's head. His movements were a little stiff, but he still held his neck and said, "It can definitely be solved."
Jian Anran tilted her head and blinked at Chu Yan. A bright smile suddenly appeared on her delicate and beautiful face: "Yes!"
Even if she doesn't say it, she can feel it.
Chu Yan is different now than before.
In the past, Chu Yan would never have made such an intimate gesture.
An indescribable feeling of ambiguity spread between the two.
"Let's go, but when it comes to werewolves, I have a candidate in mind."
Jian Anran looked at Chu Yan with full eyes.
The latter immediately understood what Jian Anran meant.
The werewolf who tried to kidnap him last night was a real werewolf.
Compared with the legend heard from Mrs. Li's mouth, the illusory werewolf is more convincing when seen with one's own eyes.
Since it is a legend about werewolves, I wonder if the werewolf knows anything about it.
After clearing their thoughts, Jian Anran and others walked towards the back mountain.
But before she went very far, she felt something was wrong.
It's...a little too quiet around here.
"Star?"
Looking around, I didn't see Jian Xingxing.
Jian Xingxing, who was supposed to be chattering next to them, disappeared at some point.
Jian Anran's heart suddenly jumped hard. She raised her voice and shouted again: "Jian Xingxing, stop playing around and come out quickly!"
Still no one answered around.
In this village full of secrets, it is not a good thing that a child named Jian Xingxing has disappeared!
Jian Anran's beautiful brows frowned, her heart was beating very fast now, and she was very scared.
She couldn't imagine what she would do in the future if something went wrong with Jian Xingxing!
