The dark beast and his two-dimensional Taoist priest

Every house they passed had their doors and windows closed, and there wasn't even a basic conversation, let alone a fire for cooking.

There was no smoke from cooking and no smell of rice. It can be understood that the meal time in this village is earlier, but if there is no sound of words from one house, then there is a problem.

It's only around seven o'clock now, how can anyone go to bed so early? Even if someone goes to bed early, it's impossible for every household to be asleep!

Dogs' hearing is extremely sensitive and they can hear sounds several meters away. In an ordinary village, the two of them would have been chased away by dogs long ago.

Every time Mei Qiantu said something, Gawain's heart sank a little lower. After entering the village, he also felt that the silence was a bit too much, but he didn't think about it that much.

I just thought that the widow's village was full of widows and there were few people. Suddenly I saw these two strange men entering the village. I was so scared that I hid in the house and did not dare to come out. Now when he heard what Mei Qiantu said, he began to panic. It was wrong.

"What should we do now? Quit?"

Just as Mei Qiantu was about to speak, he heard a hoarse and deep voice, "Where did the two young men come from? Are they coming to the village to find relatives or to visit friends?"

Mei Qiantu:! ! !

Gawain:! ! !

After hearing the sound, the two looked at each other and immediately got defensive, and at the same time turned back to look at the source of the sound.

An old lady who was over sixty years old and wearing a Miao coat embroidered with complicated patterns was seen standing in front of a two-story dilapidated wooden house not far away, looking at them with a smile.

"Grandma, we are here to look for relatives. A distant cousin of mine called and said she needed help with something, so we came here. But it was my first time here, and I forgot to ask her for her specific address. There is no way." Gawain had a slight smile on his face, hiding one hand behind his back, holding a piece of talisman between his two fingers.

The old lady squinted her eyes and smiled: "So that's it. No wonder you guys have been standing still. Old lady, I just fell asleep and you woke me up."

As if to confirm what she said, Gawain turned slightly to look at the open courtyard door behind her, and could vaguely see a recliner still shaking slightly, presumably because the old man had just gotten up from the recliner.

Gawain nodded slightly to Mei Qianqian, proving that what the old lady said was true.

Mei Qiantu looked at the old lady and asked with a smile: "Grandma, are you home alone? Why is the village so quiet? We didn't see anyone when we entered the village."

After hearing this, the old lady said: "The Zhang family's daughter-in-law is mentally disturbed and often gets lost. At six o'clock this afternoon, the Zhang family's daughter-in-law came back from doing farm work and found that her daughter was missing again. Everyone went out to look for her.

My son and daughter-in-law also went to help. My wife and I have reheated the dishes I cooked twice, but they haven't come back yet. "

The old lady took a look at the sky and said, "It's already here. I guess they won't be back for a while. Young man, if you don't mind, just come inside and sit down and wait."

Gawain looked at Mei Qianqian and indicated with his eyes: Go in or not?

Seeing this, Mei Qiantu held Long Yuan's hand tightly behind her waist. After struggling for a while, she said, "Go over and take a look."

The old lady walked into the courtyard first, followed by Mei Qiantu and Gao Wen one after another.

As soon as the old lady entered the yard, she walked back to the lounge chair and lay back down again. She pointed to a few stools nearby and said, "Sit anywhere you want, you're welcome."

"Thank you, grandma, we can just stand." Mei Qianqian tensed her nerves throughout the whole process, and smiled politely and thanked her.

Gawain looked around nervously at the furnishings in the courtyard, and finally stopped at the Eight Immortals table in the center of the hall. On the table were several pairs of bowls and chopsticks, as well as several plates of home-cooked dishes.

Gawain moved his nose, and there seemed to be a burning smell.

The old lady was lying on the recliner and fanning herself with a cattail leaf fan. Seeing the expressions of the two of them, she couldn't help but smile and said: "Why are you so nervous? I won't eat you. Even if I want to do something bad to you, I won't eat you." What can an old lady with half of her body do to you?"

"Young man, put down the dagger, be careful not to hurt your hand." The old lady looked at Mei Qianqian, with a smile still on her face.

Mei Qiantu was horrified after hearing what the old lady said, and the expression on his face became more solemn. This old lady is not simple.

Long Yuan was given to him by Bai Ze for self-defense when he went out. He kept it on his waist and never took it out. Not even Gawain knew about it.

Although he kept his hands behind his back, most people couldn't tell what he was hiding because of his backpack. However, this old lady could tell at a glance that he had a dagger hidden behind him!

Gawain stood beside Mei Qiang. When he heard the old lady's words, he asked in a low voice: "You hid the dagger? Why didn't I know? You are so unkind, you actually hid something good secretly."

Mei Qianqian frowned, "I didn't hide it, Bai Ze gave it to me before I went out."

Gawain was shocked, "Long Yuan?! Is it Long Yuan who killed dozens of ghosts at once on the night of the Hundred Ghosts' Night Parade?"

Mei Qiantu stared at the old lady on the recliner intently, fearing that the other party would suddenly attack, so she nodded slightly, "Yes, that's right."

Gawain suddenly opened his mouth in shock, he could fit a whole egg in his mouth, "Teacher Bai actually gave you such a powerful dagger!"

"It's just a temporary loan, he didn't say to give it to me." Mei Qianqian immediately corrected Gao Wen's words. Bai Ze did not say to give it to him, but just asked him to take it with him for self-defense.

"If I had known that you were carrying Long Yuan, I wouldn't have been so nervous." After knowing that Mei Qianqian was carrying Long Yuan, Gawain relaxed a lot, and his confidence increased a lot.

Mei Qiantu reminded: "Don't be careless."

He was wearing glasses now, so he couldn't tell whether the old lady was a human or a ghost. The only thing he could be sure of was that the old lady was not an ordinary person.

When Gawain heard this, he immediately became alert again.

Mei Qianqian looked at the old lady, "Grandma, who are you..."

"Wang Wang~"

Suddenly there were several dogs barking outside the courtyard, as well as noisy voices from far and near.

someone is coming?

Thinking of the old lady's words, Mei Qiantu and Gao Wen immediately looked at each other in tacit understanding, "Is it possible that someone from the village is back?"

Could it be that what this old lady said is true? Did she really not lie to them?

Gawain said: "Go out and take a look?"

Mei Qianqian nodded after hearing this.

The two of them were just about to leave the yard when they suddenly stopped in unison and turned back to look in the direction of the old lady.

"Where are the people!" Looking at the empty recliner, Gawain's eyes widened and he was dumbfounded. The old lady who was lying on the recliner had disappeared, leaving only a lonely cattail leaf fan and the recliner that was still shaking slightly.

No, they were stunned for a while and then turned around.

For such a big man, how could he be gone? Gawain quickly turned to look at Mei Qianqian.
