The horrifying sound outside the house continued, one after another, and every time it whizzed past, it made people's hearts tremble and their scalps numb.

Although Grandma Zhu looked calm, her back was actually already wet with cold sweat, and she looked like she had been fished out of the water.

Finally, when the whistling sound stopped, Grandma Zhu breathed a sigh of relief, but she still didn't dare to move. She just sat down slowly against the roof.

She sat very slowly, very slowly, and really didn't dare to make any sound.

Duan Ming was about to speak, but Granny Zhu quickly made a gesture to silence him and signaled him with her eyes not to speak.

Although he is arrogant, he is also very sensible. Looking at the terrified look on Grandma Zhu's face, he knew that the thing outside was definitely not easy to deal with.

Mother-in-law Zhu told him to shut up, but he didn't dare to say a word.

Not long after, the terrible whistling sound sounded again, one after another, making people's scalps numb.

The sound never really stopped until dawn, when I heard the sound of crowing birds not far away, and then the sound suddenly disappeared.

Shu Xi listened to the sound and actually fell asleep, sleeping soundly.

Grandma Zhu was just pretending to sleep with her eyes closed. When she opened her eyes, she found that Duan Ming's eyes were red, as if he had not slept all night.

But Shu Xi was outrageous. She didn't know when she fell asleep while sitting.

Grandma Zhu coughed lightly, but Shuxi didn't react at all.

Granny Zhu called out, "Shuxi."

Shu Xi then slowly opened her eyes. She looked at Granny Zhu dazedly and said suspiciously, "What...what's wrong?"

"Are you asleep?" asked Grandma Zhu.

Shu Xi said a little embarrassedly: "Yes, I fell asleep accidentally."

As she spoke, she wiped the corners of her mouth, as if she was worried that she would accidentally drool while sleeping.

Duan Ming looked at Shu Xi speechlessly for a while, and said, "Are you a pig?"

Shu Xi glanced at him and said, "You are the pig. Your whole family is pigs."

"you……"

Duan Ming was a little angry, but he didn't dare to really attack Shu Xi, because he had experienced it several times. If Shu Xi really got angry and attacked him, he would not live long.

Duan Ming's tolerance made Grandma Zhu feel that what was going on between them was just a flirtation between lovers.

Shu Xi whispered, "Grandma Zhu, are we safe?"

Grandma Zhu said, "The mountain god has left, and we can talk normally now."

Shu Xi nodded, and she asked thoughtfully: "Grandma Zhu, if he is a mountain god, why did he stay here all night? Aren't gods supposed to protect us?"

As soon as Shu Xi's words came out of her mouth, Grandma Zhu's face changed drastically. She rushed over and covered Shu Xi's mouth with her hands.

She looked around and said in a mysterious voice, "Children are ignorant. Don't blame the mountain god for his strange behavior."

Shu Xi blinked her big eyes, as if to say, I understand.

Only then did Grandma Zhu let go of her hand.

Granny Zhu looked at Shu Xi with a warning and said, "The mountain god is everywhere. If anyone disrespects him, the consequences will be dire. You'd better be careful."

Shu Xi nodded.

Granny Zhu was about to go down. She said, "Now you know the rules here. Don't go out at night."

She paused, her eyes suddenly darkened, and she said with a somewhat terrifying expression: "Remember, don't act recklessly. Otherwise, you will die!"

Shu Xi hurriedly said obediently: "I know."

Grandma Zhu left because she was going to cook for everyone.

In fact, they only have some crops here, such as corn, sweet potatoes and potatoes.

At most they would add an egg, nothing else.

Shu Xi was a little curious. There were fish, shrimps, crabs and various conches on the beach. If conches were troublesome to handle, wouldn't it be better to catch other seafood to eat?

Shu Xi asked her own question.

When Granny Zhu heard Shuxi's words, her expression changed and she said, "We can't get out."

Yang Yong nodded: "There is no end to that dense forest, so we can't get out."

Shu Xi was stunned for a moment. At first, she thought that these people had given them hallucinogens, so they could not walk out of the dense forest on the edge.

But now that they say this, could it be that...

Shu Xi smiled and said nothing.

Granny Zhu became curious, and asked Shu Xi, "Why are you allowed to come in?"

There were people who wanted to come in before, but most of them died. Those who broke in without permission were angered by the mountain god before the villagers even noticed them, and he made them stupid and foolish.

Only Shuxi came in safely and met them without becoming stupid.

So she and the elders were very curious about why Shuxi and the others were so special.

She took this opportunity to test it out.

Shu Xi played dumb and said, "I don't know either. I just came in in a daze."

Granny Zhu's face changed as she thought of something. She said, "Maybe it's God's will."

"It's time to eat." said Grandma Zhu.

"Wow, there are eggs today, I want two." A lame man took two.

Granny Zhu said, "No, put it down, one for each person."

The lame man said: "It's one for each of us. One for me and one for Xiaoqi..."

The man's voice became quieter and quieter. He suddenly thought of something and a trace of pain flashed across his face: "Xiao Qi..."

The elder came over and looked at the lame man warningly, signaling him not to talk nonsense.

The lame man seemed to have realized what was happening. He quickly shut his mouth and stopped talking.

The elder then walked away.

Shu Xi deliberately asked Granny Zhu: "Granny Zhu, who is Xiao Qi? Doesn't he like to eat eggs?"

Granny Zhu's expression changed, and she said solemnly, "There is no such person as Xiao Qi. Tieguai was mistaken."

At this time, the lame man nodded hurriedly, then lowered his head to eat again.

It can be seen that he is very sad, but he dare not show it too obviously.

Shu Xi always felt that something was strange. What exactly went wrong?

Suddenly, a white light flashed across her mind.

She suddenly remembered!

When she eavesdropped on the conversation between the elder and Granny Zhu yesterday, she seemed to hear Granny Zhu and the elder say that two people were missing.

So they knew who those two people were and how they disappeared.

That's why their reaction was so calm.

Why can they be so indifferent?

They are obviously people around them, and it seems that they value them very much, but why don’t they go looking for them when they are missing?

Of course, these were just the doubts in Shuxi's mind, and she would not say them out loud.

Even if I tell them, those people won't believe it.

She just took out the things she had secretly hidden in the room while no one was paying attention and put them in her pocket.

But until now, she hasn't had the chance to open it.
