Rent me for three coppers

Chu Xu is a third-year student at a certain school in City C. In the topic selection of this summer group practice activity, he and his girlfriend chose this small village in Weishan Mountain.

The other three fellow students are all in the same grade, and they have more or less attended classes together. Even though they don't know their names, they probably have seen their appearances before.

This small courtyard is not big, there are only four vacant bedrooms inside, and one is a utility room, no matter how you look at it, it cannot be lived in.So Chu Xu naturally lived with his girlfriend.

The room was a very ordinary cuboid without too many decorations. Standing at the door, Chu Xu looked at his little girlfriend who was changing clothes inside, and smiled softly.

Seeing Chu Xu go up and hug his girlfriend from behind without changing his expression, Qi Qi pulled Zhiying out.

"See no evil."

The two walked through the main room to the three rooms on the other side. At this time, the other girl was changing into a white cotton pajamas and lying on the recliner, flipping through a book with a somewhat worn-out cover. Qi Qi leaned over and took a look. It was discovered that it was actually a book about the customs and costumes of the Dali Dynasty written by historians of later generations.

I feel that these historians are also very powerful. Back then, the royal city was completely burned down.They can also roughly restore the clothes of the princes and nobles according to their imagination.

Qi Qi said about this: It's just a panic.

The other two male students had already fallen asleep, and only their loud snoring could be heard in the house.

After wandering around the house again, Qi Qi and Zhiying walked out of the yard.

The moon is in the middle of the sky, the heat of the day has dropped, and the cold air has begun to seep from the ground.

Most of the people in the mountains went to bed early, Qi Qi very self-aware took the baby's arm, and walked on the dirt road in the countryside with one foot deep and the other shallow.

"Hiss... Even if the temperature difference between day and night in the mountains is large in summer, it won't be so large, right?"

Qi Qi stretched out his hand and rubbed the chicken skin next to his skin, and muttered in dissatisfaction.

Looking at the withered ghost hands continuously protruding from the ground, and the layers of ghosts being attracted, the baby thought about it, and still only let out an 'hmm'.

The atmosphere between the two was a little awkward for a while, and Qi Qi didn't know what to say.Just like that, I walked all the way to the entrance of the village in silence.

There is a huge willow tree growing on the left side of the village entrance, under which there are several small stools that have not been moved back and a small low table.

'tick. '

The humidity was heavy at night, and the water droplets formed on the willow tree fell and hit the table with a crisp sound.Zhiying frowned and looked up at the willow tree, then pulled Qi Qi back a few steps quickly.

"what happened?"

Before the baby could reply, the scene in front of him exploded as if it had been torn apart by force.When reorganizing again, all the villagers were seen standing solemnly at the entrance of the village, and in front of them lay a bloody corpse.

The man's death condition was terrifying, his whole body was covered with red strangle marks, and the wound on his neck was even more bone-deep.

Chu Xu and the others seemed to want to look inside the crowd, but they were stopped by the village chief, and they had to go back the same way after a while.

The village head ordered the corpse to be rolled up and temporarily placed in the ancestral hall.

In a closed village that rarely communicates with the outside world, once something happens, everyone will not think of calling the police, but panic and wait for the most prestigious person in the village to make a decision.

And this person is their village head.

Everyone in the village was questioned, including the group of college students, but the murderer was never found.

The villagers who had treated these college students warmly the day before, started talking about it after just one day.Even though those people say they didn't do it themselves.

"The corpse was hung on a willow branch. If it was done by human power, it would be impossible without any tools."

Zhiying recalled the scene he saw that night and analyzed it.

"This ghost is a bit perverted."

Although he was a bit lively when he was a child, and a little skinny when he grew up, he is still a good young man with five lectures, four beauties and three loves. Qi Qi has not been able to get over the shock of seeing the corpse at the first sight, so he has to listen to the serious analysis of the childish infant .

It's really unbearable.

"Go and see those students."

Knowing that Qi Qi was afraid, Zhiying didn't mention it anymore.

After the accident, the village suddenly became quiet, and everyone closed their doors tightly, for fear that the unknown man-eating monster would find them.

Because of this, when the two saw Zhao Mingyuan walking towards Chu Xu's yard, they were extremely surprised.

The originally happy summer practice did not expect such a thing to happen, and several college students felt withdrawn, but helplessly, the villagers did not listen to what they said, and they had to wait for the matter to be clarified before letting them go.

On the surface, he agreed, but secretly he wanted to use his mobile phone to call the police, but he didn't expect that there was no signal at all in this ghost village.

"Damn it, the signal was fine when I came here yesterday, why is it like this today!"

One of the boys slammed his phone to the ground, cursing uneasily.

"Okay, it's useless to smash the phone, we didn't do it, they can't force it on us."

"That's not necessarily true." Even at this time, Chu Xu still had a smile on his face: "In their eyes, we are outsiders, and you think they will think who did it when they can't find out the results at all. ?”

"If it was done by people in the village, they have to admit that there is a traitor among their own people. If someone who has been close to each other kills someone, then the next one may be themselves."

"Chu Xu, what do you mean?"

The boy who cursed just now rushed over and grabbed Chu Xu by the collar, and was about to greet him with a fist.

"Hey, don't fight." Zhao Mingyuan walked in and grabbed the boy's arm in a hurry: "Aren't you together, how can you fight?"

"What are you here for?"

The boy shook off Zhao Mingyuan's hand and asked with a frown.

"Zhao Yu, you have a better attitude!"

Perhaps it was because of the accumulation of anger just now, after seeing Zhao Yu's obviously provocative action, Chu Xu looked at him dissatisfied.

"You guys, tell the truth, did you do it?"

"We are new here, and we have no grievances or enmities with everyone, why kill people?"

Zhao Yu picked up the phone and snorted coldly, and sat on the chair.

"We didn't kill it."

Seeing that Zhao Mingyuan's forehead was covered with sweat, Chu Xu took a few pieces of paper and handed them to him, and poured him a glass of white water by the way.

No matter what Zhao Mingyuan came here for, if he could come and ask them when the whole village couldn't avoid it, he wouldn't be in a bad mood.

"I'm just saying that you college students don't seem to have any strength at all. The youngest of the Li family has all his strength, how could you possibly be able to restrain him?"

Zhao Mingyuan touched his forehead carelessly and sighed.

"Pack up your things. I'll find a way to take you out at night. Now everyone in the village suspects that you did this. It's not safe for you to stay here."

After saying this, Zhao Mingyuan hurriedly turned around and left.

"Not safe? How else can they kill people? There is no kingly law."

Looking at the back of Zhao Mingyuan leaving, Zhao Yu muttered habitually, but was slapped back by another girl.

"Zhao Yu, what's the matter with you? Don't make trouble at this time, okay?" The girl raised her hand and rubbed her forehead, took a deep breath: "I'm walking around the yard, it's too boring. "

After the girl left, the room finally became quiet. Everyone packed up their things and waited for the night to come.

However, all this was interrupted by a scream outside the house.

It was about four or five o'clock in the afternoon. After hearing the scream, the drowsy people stood up abruptly in fright, but because of insufficient blood supply to the brain, they supported the wall one by one before they stood still.

"what happened?"

"Go out and have a look."

The air outside the house was so stuffy that it was hard to breathe. Chu Xu walked in the front and came to the edge of the yard. After seeing the scene outside, he gritted his teeth, rushed inside and vomited out after holding it in for a long time.

The girl who just got up in the morning and brought them a bowl of braised beef noodles with a smile is now lying in a pool of blood. If you don't pay attention, you may think that she is the same as the man in the morning, but with red marks all over her body. That's all.

But the occasional dislocation of the bones clearly told everyone that she was cut into pieces abruptly.

Most of the people who had seen the scene turned their heads and couldn't bear to watch it any more, and the little girl was so frightened that she fainted.

"How is this going!"

The village chief who arrived late angrily tapped the ground twice with his cane.

"I, I went out to throw out the garbage in the afternoon, and saw a person fell by the gate of their yard. I thought someone had fainted from the heat, but when I came here, I saw this..."

The answer was a woman around 50 years old. She twisted her clothes tightly with her hands, and cried uncontrollably as soon as she finished speaking.

In the scorching weather, the corpse soon emitted a stench, but it belonged to outsiders, and the villagers were unwilling to clean it up for them.

Avoid them even more.

'This group of people is really crazy, even their own friends are not spared. '

'Tsk, what a plague god. '

"I told you we didn't do it!"

Chu Xu only felt that he had a severe headache. He put the girlfriend in his arms in the main room, turned around and roared at the group of people.

But this did not stop those people from discussing, but made their hostility more obvious.

"The villagers are very scared." The man who appeared behind them looked indifferently at the scene in front of them and said softly, "Instead of admitting that there was a monster in me, it's better to think that it was done by outsiders."

"What about you?" Zhiying stood in front of Qi Qi calmly, looking at the man in front of him: "What are you?"

The man in front of him still had Zhao Mingyuan's face at first, but after hearing this question, his body twisted suddenly, and after a while, Chu Xu's face protruded from the side of his neck.

He suddenly turned into a two-headed monster.

"hiss--"

Qi Qi gasped, and covered his mouth in disbelief.Seeing that everyone was looking at him, he nodded apologetically and signaled him to continue talking.

"Qi Qi?" Chu Xu tilted his head and looked at Qi Qi for a while, then smiled and said, "I like you very much."

"Ah, thanks."

Qi Qi sniffed, he really didn't expect to have ghost fans.

Hmm...a different experience.

"I don't think they are bad people." Zhao Mingyuan moved his head, still looking stupid, he scratched his head: "So I want to help them."

Everything in the picture behind him came at night, and Zhao Mingyuan took the remaining four of Chu Xu and his party to the Lijia Village in front of them along the mountain path.

Because of the need to avoid bumping into people, the original one-hour journey took two and a half hours.

When they came out, several people were more or less injured. When they saw that the street lights in Lijia Village were not lit but there were still some street lights, they almost cried out.

"Okay, I'll take you here. You can walk along the main road first. When it dawns tomorrow, you will meet a car going to the morning market. If you pay a little money, they will take you away."

"The two villages are not far apart, don't they belong to the same group?"

"No, since I can remember, the two villages have been at odds with each other. In recent years, some scenic spots have been developed, and Lijia Village has been talking about developing them. People in our village are not willing, so how can we be with them?"

"Okay, thank you."

Chu Xu took out a small stack of cash from his wallet and handed it to Zhao Mingyuan, but was rejected as expected.

In desperation, Chu Xu could only step forward to hug the man, and asked by the way: "You let us go, are you okay?"

Zhao Mingyuan waved his hand, indicating that he had no major problem.

"Chu Xu, shall we go?"

The little girl grabbed Chu Xu's arm, interrupted their conversation, raised a small face and asked softly.

"Ah."

Chu Xu squeezed her hand, and finally bowed to Zhao Mingyuan, and the group walked outside along the main road.

It was early in the morning, and the road was very quiet. A group of people who had been highly nervous walked on the road in silence, and no one spoke first.

When it was almost dawn, the girl stopped suddenly, looked at the phone and smiled softly.

"Chu Xu, do you like me?"

Having not slept all night, Chu Xu is now irritable. After hearing the girl's question, he replied impatiently: "Xiaobai, can you stop making trouble now."

"I'm not making trouble, Chu Xu, do you really like me?"

Xiaobai looked haggard at this time, not at all the lively and lovely look before, she raised her head and stared at Chu Xu with those overly big eyes.

It looked indescribably weird.

"What’s wrong with you……"

Chu Xu also noticed her strangeness, and was about to reach out his hand to feel the temperature of her forehead, but only felt a pain in the back of her neck, and she was knocked out.

Xiaobai turned his head and looked at the two behind him who hadn't had time to react, and smiled: "Let's go."

"what are you?"

Zhao Yu opened his eyes wide and looked at the lifeless Zhao Mingyuan behind Xiaobai, and forgot even the most basic escape.

"...Let's go, Bai Meng's death was an accident, but you can choose to live."

Xiaobai looked like a devil who had just crawled out of the ground at this time. Zhao Yu and the people around him looked at each other, and the two quickly ran away.

After they left, Xiaobai fell to her knees on the ground exhausted. She hugged Chu Xu's body tremblingly and cried loudly.

On the screen of the phone that was thrown aside by her, there were large-scale group photos of Chu Xu and different women.

"Hold... him up."

After crying, his mood finally stabilized, and Xiao Bai said to Zhao Mingyuan in a frenzied manner.

"Take it away...you have to go, otherwise, or you will die."

But Zhao Mingyuan stood motionless on the spot, Xiaobai had no choice but to pick up Chu Xu's body by himself, and dragged him towards the side of the road with all his strength.

While muttering to himself: "I can't, I'm sorry, I... I still can't bear it."

But she didn't go very far before she was stopped by Zhao Mingyuan.

"Step aside!"

Xiaobai yelled at Zhao Mingyuan, and she kept kicking and kicking Zhao Mingyuan's body, trying to pull Chu Xu out of his hands, but it was useless.

"Xiaobai, you are doing very well."

A young man came behind Xiao Bai with a group of men in black, and turned his head to indicate that one of the men trapped Xiao Bai.

"He's really a spoiled child. Are you going to kill someone if he doesn't like him? My little princess."

"Let him go." Xiaobai struggled to come out, she looked at Zhao Yu and the two stopped by Xiao Yuan, and said hurriedly: "I regret it, let them go, I will tell my father, Xiao Yuan You let him go!"

"Xiaobai, you killed two people." Xiao Yuan seemed to have heard something extremely funny, and said with a sneer: "A college student practiced during summer vacation and accidentally encountered... well, died in a natural disaster, so your killing won't be discovered?"

"This can also warn the majority of college students to pay attention to safety. I am thinking about it, isn't it very thoughtful?"

"Xiao Yuan... I beg you, let them go..."

"Take her back."

"Yes!"

"Xiao Yuan!! Xiao Yuan, you will go to hell if you do this!"

After Xiaobai was knocked out and taken away, Xiao Yuan nodded to the man wearing a mask beside him: "Let's get started."

All the scenes were forcibly terminated here, and Chu Xu could only continue to say: "I can only remember the rest of the things, they seem to say what they want, the flesh and blood of the closest relatives and loved ones, and Xiaobai Something made a ghost."

"Heartblood?"

"Ah, yes." Chu Xu smiled: "I'm a little happy, I'm actually her favorite person, love..."

"Best relative?"

Zhiying also saw the photo just now, so she didn't really want to hear what Chu Xu said, so she could only interrupt him halfway.

"It's me." Zhao Mingyuan raised his hand foolishly: "Let's say my mother is Xiaobai's father's first wife. Later, Xiaobai's father went to be a door-to-door son-in-law. In fact, he said that he committed something..."

"Bigamy."

Chu Xu added on the side.

"Oh, yes, that's it. Anyway, I don't understand. My mother passed away when I was eight years old, and I was the only one left in the family. People in the village didn't treat me well, and no one told me about it."

"It seems that you were recruited before Chu Xu and the others came to the village. Has anything strange happened before?"

"This... I really don't know. I've never seen those people before. It's not surprising that they usually eat, eat and sleep." Zhao Mingyuan frowned and thought for a long time, then shook his head: "have no idea."

"Hey, the spells I watch on TV, don't they all work with just one hair?"

Qi Qi, who had been holding back for a long time without speaking, suddenly interjected when he heard this.

After getting the baby's eyes, Qi Qi decided to stand there quietly and stop talking nonsense.

"Yes." Zhiying suddenly agreed: "That person must know Zhao Mingyuan's birth date. It is enough to control Zhao Mingyuan at the beginning."

"Have you ever been injured before this?"

"Huh? Oh, I hurt my foot once while working, and it made a big hole."

"Who showed you the injury?"

"The village doctor."

"What about others?"

"I don't know, but most people in the village died in the vision caused by the effect of the spell."

Hearing this, Zhiying frowned tightly.

Something is wrong, everything is wrong, whether it is the magic circle for practicing the fox technique at the beginning, or the creation of gods now, they are all things that have been destroyed.

"Speaking of which, master, how did you guess it was mine?" Zhao Mingyuan turned his head suddenly and asked, "I think my acting is okay."

"I put a mark on you, because I was too confused before and didn't pay attention to it, but when I remembered it later, I found that the mark was gone." Zhiying said without blushing and heartbeat: "The mark is a harmless small Youkai, disappearing can only be swallowed, and you are indeed strange."

Thinking of what he said on the road, Zhao Mingyuan laughed twice.

"We are normal at noon, and it becomes normal at night, so what."

"Then... Master, you were invited to kill us, right?"

"Huh?" Zhiying looked up at them, and asked in confusion: "They just asked me to clean up the vision."

"what?"

The two heads on the neck looked at him stupidly. It was obviously a weird picture, but it was so stupid that it made people want to laugh.

"You are already dead, there is no vengeance, what am I going to kill you for?"

"Ah..." After a long silence, Chu Xu was the first to speak: "Yes, we are already dead..."

Chu Xu lowered his head listlessly, looking at his hands.

"I know it's weird, but...I..."

The bodies of the two gradually dissipated into a spot of light, and the surrounding scene also changed back to the original village.

In the twilight of the morning light, Zhiying looked down at Qi Qi's hairy head in the morning light, and suddenly reached out and hugged her.

"what happened?"

Qi Qi reached out and patted the baby's trembling back, and asked softly.

Inexplicable unease surrounded the baby, and she worked hard for a long time before she managed to reply in a slightly calm tone: "It's okay."

It's okay, I can already protect you.
