Chapter 255
The two were tangled, and the nearest thatched shed opened the straw curtain, and the two couldn't help looking over.But he saw an old man in common clothes coming out of the thatched shed, he should have heard the voices of the two.

Judging by his clothes, although simple and simple, at least he is no longer a barbarian who drinks blood.

The old man's skin was very dark, he was not tall, and there was only a cloudy white bead left in one eye. I shuddered.

Chen Yun took a step back unconsciously, and Bai Juyi comforted her softly, "It's okay, I'm here."

As he said that, Bai Juyi moved forward slightly, protecting Chen Yun behind him, and looked at the old man coming out of the hut with awe-inspiring dignity, and wanted to see what kind of a village that eats people!

The old man also looked surprised when he saw the two of them.Both of them were wearing raincoats. Bai Juyi was of medium height with a solid body, but because he had not shaved for many days, his beard was already thick and long.Looking at Chen Yun again, although her hair was a little messy, she still had a very delicate and beautiful face overall.

Seeing the two, the old man pointed suspiciously at the mountain behind them: "Where are you... from?"

Bai Juyi didn't answer in a hurry, but scanned the surrounding environment vigilantly, making sure that there was no danger around except this person, and then Bai Juyi began to look at him carefully.

This person has a haggard face and a poor mental state. The other normal eye is a little swollen, as if he just cried.A pair of skinny hands possessed strength unmatched by city dwellers.

Seeing that he actually took the initiative to ask questions, and the tone of his speech was very natural, Bai Juyi was relieved, but he still maintained his vigilance, pointing to the head on the tree and asked: "What's going on?"

When Bai Juyi mentioned the dead head on the tree, the old man looked up. He didn't know whether it was rain or tears rolling down his face, and he said in a choked voice, "That's my son."

"Your son?" Bai Juyi couldn't believe it. Someone cut off his son's head?

"It's raining heavily outside, let's go inside and talk about it." Speaking of this, the old man seemed a little sentimental, leaning on the grass wall, tremblingly walked into the house.

Bai Juyi and Chen Yun looked at each other, and finally braved up and walked into the house.

This room is indescribably shabby, apart from a table and two stools, there is only one bed left.A young girl was lying on the bed, wrapped in a thin sheet.There are a few animal skins and some simple tools hanging on the wall.The whole house was filled with a strong herbal smell, which made people feel unspeakably uncomfortable.

Seeing the furnishings in this room, Chen Yun felt rather shabby, and unconsciously sympathized with these people.

The old man poured a cup of tea for the two and motioned them to drink.Bai Juyi just said: "You're welcome, you should tell us about your son."

There were only two benches in the room, and Bai Juyi asked the old man and Chen Yun to sit down, while he stood aside and listened.

The old man said helplessly: "My wife passed away early and gave birth to me a son and a daughter. I was living well, but a few days ago, my son suddenly fell ill. Not long after, my daughter also fell ill. Yes. I asked the witch doctor in the village to help cure the disease. The witch doctor said that it was because of an evil spirit, that he had bumped into a ghost, and he needed a primer to lure the ghost away, so he made me those ghost knots. However, my son’s condition On the contrary, it got worse and worse, and the witch doctor said that the evil spirits were too powerful, and they took my son's soul away."

Hearing such things, Chen Yun was very angry. These witch doctors are simply devoid of conscience. Isn't this cheating the ignorant villagers?
Bai Juyi didn't say anything, just listened quietly.

Later, the old man's son died.The old man no longer believed in the witch doctor's nonsense, but the witch doctor told other villagers that his son had attracted ghosts. If he didn't cut off his son's head and hang it on the locust tree to worship the heavens, then the whole village would die. All must die.

As soon as the other villagers heard that they would be implicated, they took up hoes and ran to his house to threaten that if the old man did not cut off his son's head, they would kill him and his daughter.

The old man was helpless, he didn't care, but he still had a daughter, so he had to dig out the head of his son's corpse with a hoe and hang it on the tree.

This is not over yet, the witch doctor came and said how much mana he had spent in curing his family.Asking him to donate his daughter to him as a cauldron, the old man fought desperately with the witch doctor to save his daughter.But he offended the witch doctor, and his daughter was seriously ill again. Now he didn't know what to do, so he had to hang up those ghost knots again.

Bai Juyi sighed in his heart, ignorance is also pitiful.

Chen Yun, who was still terrified at first, now felt sympathy for the old man.In such a remote place, a person with a little knowledge is a master.A flat-headed villager like the old man who doesn't understand anything is the target of being slaughtered.

After telling his story, the old man was already in tears, and he didn't want to ask about Bai Juyi and Chen Yun again.

Although Bai Juyi listened to his explanation clearly, he was still a bit taboo.He took Chen Yun with him, not afraid of ten thousand, just in case, so he didn't dare to make trouble.Just asked: "Uncle, do you have any means of transportation here?"

"Means of transportation?" The old man couldn't understand.

"It's just cars, boats, planes, etc." Bai Juyi said.

The old man half-understood it, and thought for a long time before he said: "There is a carriage in the town of Yitou, but unfortunately the ferry boat crossing the river hit the rocks again during the flood season these days. Wait until the ferry is repaired."

"Ah?" Bai Juyi hurriedly took Chen Yun to the north, and sure enough, there was a big river in front of him, the water was fast and violent, and the broad river was choppy, and it was impossible to cross without a ferry.

"If you don't mind staying at my house first, the ferry is already under repair, and it will pass in a few days." The old man said kindly.

Thinking of the old man who could even cut off his own son's head, Bai Juyi felt terrified, and said, "We have our own tent, so we can just live outside."

Bai Juyi and Chen Yun set up a tent outside, and other people in the village also came to watch. Looking at their colorful tents, they all felt extremely strange.The timid ones watched from a distance, and boldly came over to touch it, and some even looked into the tent, as if they were looking at aliens.

Afraid of accidents, Bai Juyi released Huapi from the space to protect Chen Yun, and also gave Chen Yun a pistol just in case.

In this kind of backward village, even the witch doctor's deceitful words would be believed, and they might commit some murder and robbery.It's better to have more eyes.

Chen Yun tossed and turned in the tent, unable to fall asleep, and said to Bai Juyi: "Shi Mo, I want to go to Ah Han's house to see his daughter, I think they are very pitiful."

"It's better not to go. We are outsiders and attract people's attention. The old man is now the enemy of the whole village. Going at this time is to draw fire." Bai Juyi said.

"Then can we do nothing about it? Poet Demon, the greater the ability, the greater the responsibility. If we know that he can't save his daughter by doing so, and let them fend for themselves, then we have nothing to do with the witch doctor in the village." What's the difference?" Chen Yun became excited.
