I'm not a demon

The boy who said that Ning Qingming was a liar before was also very angry. He clutched his backpack tightly, as if rushing forward to hit someone.Beside him, a boy wearing glasses grabbed him and whispered in his ear, "We are foreigners, so don't act rashly."

At this time, the woman standing behind the man in the padded jacket burst into tears. She was still holding a baby who had just been born a few days ago. The baby who was originally very quiet also cried loudly, and the man turned his head impatiently. Said: "Cry, cry, cry, fucking cry all day long, if I can't give birth to a son, go back to your mother's house!!"

The woman was so frightened that she stopped crying and kept hiccupping.

But the baby in her arms didn't know anything, it was just crying, and its whole face was flushed from crying.

"Give me the little bastard!" The man dragged the baby from the woman's hand to his own. There was no pity in his movements, and some were just endless disgust. A group of villagers surrounded the man. Some people talked a lot, but most of them Everyone looks like they are used to it, and it seems that they have done a lot of this kind of thing.

The woman wanted to snatch the baby back, but the man stared at him and withdrew his hand timidly.

Ning Qingming and the others walked up behind the three of them, and seeing the trembling bodies of the three of them due to anger, Ning Qingming winked at Xiaohu, who squinted his eyes and laughed, and rushed towards the man while no one was paying attention He snatched the baby from his arms.

"Where did you come from, you bastard!" The man was startled, and then became angry.

Xiaohu carried the baby to Ning Qingming's side, but the baby was still crying in his arms, Ning Qingming hugged the baby in his arms.

The strange thing is that the crying baby immediately became quiet in Ning Qingming's hands, and even let out a giggling sound instead of tears.

Ning Qingming couldn't help but smile on his face, but soon, he put away his smile and looked at the man.

"According to the laws of our country, intentional homicide will be sentenced to 20 years of life imprisonment, and you will be sentenced to death if the circumstances are bad." Ning Qingming continued to threaten, "Although you are far away from the city, maybe The local government doesn't care, but unfortunately, I know people from the court in the imperial capital, just now you said that you drowned the first two girls too?"

The man's expression changed, he shut up embarrassingly, and argued, "I didn't drown! Do you have evidence? They just fell into the river by accident!"

Ning Qingming glanced at him, but didn't answer.

He could save this one life, but what about after they're gone?How many girls will be born to suffer such inhumane treatment?

"You guys will be punished for doing this!" Seeing Ning Qingming, the girl became more confident for no reason, and spoke louder, "Don't say you want a boy, you won't even have a child soon!!"

This curse of cutting off offspring seemed to have stepped on a man's sore foot. He slammed on the ground and was about to come up and beat the girl, "Nonsense girl! I'll beat you to death today!"

The surrounding villagers couldn't help but feel strange when they heard the girl's words. A few of them seemed to have thought of something, and their eyes dodged.

Dahei guarded the girl behind him, his expression turned cold: "I see if you dare to hit someone!"

Dahei was quite stern when his face was serious, the man was caught by his aura, and he really didn't dare to step forward for a while.

The girl was also held back by two other boys. Her eyes were red and she cursed in a low voice, "It's not human, it's not human..."

Ning Qingming, Dahei and Xiaohu, who were really not human, all took a look at her.

But although the girl just said it casually, Ning Qingming felt that the situation in this village was really strange. Although there was a large population, all the people born in the last two years were girls... not even a single boy.

That's why the people in the village didn't stop the man's brutal behavior, because the situation in their families was the same.

The baby in Ning Qingming's arms let out a cry at this time, Ning Qingming was a little at a loss, and the woman behind the man said cautiously: "Baby is hungry."

"Go away!" The man vented his anger on the woman, he slapped the woman, but the slap missed the woman, the woman was pulled back by the little fox to avoid the slap.

The woman stood there in a daze, and suddenly burst into tears: "It's over! It's over!! I'll take the doll away!! Let's separate!!"

The man's eyes were red with anger when he heard this, and he was about to pull the woman's head, when an old voice came: "Stop!"

The man stopped immediately when he heard the voice, and even the surrounding villagers who watched the excitement fell silent.

An old man with gray hair who looked about eighty came over with a cane. Behind him were two villagers who were going to inform the old man. They supported the old man without looking at the surrounding villagers.

"You guys are laughing." The old man said in the direction of Ning Qingming and the others, and coughed as soon as he said this, the voice was as loud as if he could cough up his lungs.

The old man looked like he had read a book, and although his voice was not loud, he was full of majesty: "You guys will mess around! Go back where you shouldn't be?!"

The crowd dispersed under the old man's words, leaving only the man and the crying woman. As for the child in Ning Qingming's hands, he seemed to have no strength after crying twice, and fell asleep in his arms again.

"Village head! These people from other villages are here to make trouble!" The man was interrupted by the old man as soon as he spoke.

"Nonsense!" The old man's voice was full of anger, "I see that you are getting more and more nonsense every day! Do you think you want to disperse the village because you see that I am dying? Dazhu, you feel your conscience and say that what you did is not good. Do you have a conscience?"

Dazhu's eyes were also red, "I don't want to either! Village chief, we are afraid!! After so many years, the children in the village are all girl dolls! We are cursed!!"

The old man closed his eyes and said: "You go back first, your wife and baby stay with me first, and come to me when you think it through."

Da Zhu looked at Ning Qingming bitterly again, and then left.

"Let you see a joke." The old man sighed deeply.

Several people also heard from the words of the old man and Da Zhu that there was something hidden about this matter. Ning Qingming and the others did not speak, but the girl had already started to chatter like a machine gun: "Old man, what is going on in your village? Huh? My friend and I have passed through many villages along the way, and we have never seen anyone who wanted to burn his own daughter to death. Is this something that humans can do?"

"Little girl, there are many things you don't know." The old man didn't say much to her, "You were frightened by today's incident, if you don't dislike it, come stay with me in the village for one night, and I will treat you well as if you are friends from afar. Come."

The old man's attitude made it difficult for the girl to continue to say anything. She and the other two boys looked at each other, and they all wanted to find out, so they didn't refuse.

"Boss, shall we go?" As soon as Dahei opened his mouth, he saw the old man bow in the direction of several people. The old man's waist was no longer straight, but this bow was genuine and without a trace of falsehood.

The girl and the three people were startled, and subconsciously wanted to help them, but the old man didn't straighten up, and only said to Ning Qingming and the others: "Several, even if I'm old now, I can tell that some of them are not ordinary people, please help me." You must stay overnight."

Ning Qingming had no objection. He, Dahei and Xiaohu exchanged glances. He held the baby in one hand and helped the old man up with the other, but his movements were as if he was about to leave, "Get up, please."

Seeing Ning Qingming like this, the old man just sighed.

At this time, the woman walked up to Ning Qingming cautiously, not knowing where to put her hands and feet, and said in dialect: "I, can I hug my baby?"

Ning Qingming put the child in her arms, "She is also hungry, you can feed her something."

The woman took the baby, and carefully lifted her blouse. Ning Qingming coughed, and then the woman remembered that there were people around her. She put down the hem of her clothes and hugged the baby tightly.

"You guys, come back to the village with me first." Although the old man is not young, his body looks quite strong, and he can walk very steadily even if he is not supported.

However, the two villagers behind him still supported his arms. At this time, a man named Fu Gui said, "Da Zhu really went too far this time!"

Another man named Daqian said, "But I can't blame him, hey."

The girl and the two boys looked at each other, intending to continue to hear what the two of them would do, but the two remained silent all the way, just sighing incessantly.

The place where the old man lived was the largest house in the village, and there were still many extra rooms. Ning Qingming and the others were arranged in a separate small courtyard, and the old man lived next door.

The old man said that he really put his heart into entertaining them. The two people who supported him asked how many of them tasted one by one, and how many of them were guests. It was embarrassing to talk about their own taste, so they could just say whatever they wanted.

Fugui and Daqian left one after another, let them wait a while, and call them when the food is ready.

After the two left, the girl and the three also walked to Ning Qingming's side. The girl's emotions had calmed down a lot at this time, but she still couldn't laugh, so she forced a smile and introduced herself: "Master Ning, my name is Siyu, these two are my classmates, named Pan Yushang and Qiu Fanhui, Master Ning, you can just call them Dapan and Daqiu."

Ning Qingming also introduced Dahei and Xiaohu. They had just experienced that incident together. Even Pan Yushang, who said that Ning Qingming was a liar, had a much better attitude at this time. He patted down his hair, and said carelessly: "Master Ning is too ridiculous to call you, so I'll call you Brother Ning."

At this time, he still didn't believe that Ning Qingming was really a master or something, but because Ning Qingming was on their side, he found Ning Qingming much pleasing to his eyes.

Qiu Fanhui was wearing glasses, and he rolled his eyes. He had a pretty good temper and belonged to the steady type. After greeting a few people, he said, "You can call me Daqiu or Dahui."

"Why did you come here?" Dahei was a little curious, how did these few look like a university, how did they get into such a deep mountain and old forest.

"Our graduation thesis is related to mountain legends, so we came here to collect materials." Qiu Fanhui said, "We didn't expect to encounter such a thing."

"Be careful when you sleep tonight. After all, you are in a strange village." Siyu just seemed impulsive, but her thoughts were actually quite delicate. It should be safe, right?"

Pan Yushang rolled his eyes and let out a hehe.

Xiaohu didn't join them, walked around the yard, and then walked out.

Seeing that he wanted to go out sharp-eyed, Siyu quickly called him to stop, Xiaohu looked back and continued to go out.

"Xiao Hu went out just now! Isn't it safe for him to be outside as a child?" Siyu was a little anxious, "Master Ning, call him back quickly."

"It's okay, don't everyone in the village want a boy now? They will only like him when they see him." Ning Qingming replied indifferently. Everyone in this village is not safe, and Xiaohu will be fine.

Little Fox didn't come back until it was time to eat.

The village head said that he would set up three tables for a few people. Ning Qingming and others sat at the table where the village head and others were, and Da Zhu and some others sat at the other two tables.

When eating, the girl found that she was the only woman on the three tables, and the others were men. Her impression of this patriarchal village was extremely bad.

After thirty days of drinking, everyone drank some wine more or less. Ning Qingming and Dahei drank a lot, but this wine was like water to them. He was stopped by Ning Qingming and Dahei.

The few people who ate this meal were not very comfortable, but the rules in this village are like this, and there is nothing they can do if they are uncomfortable.

After returning, several people fell into silence.

At this time, Pan Yushang suddenly remembered Xiaohu, and he was a little surprised: "Why hasn't Xiaohu come back yet?"

"I guess--"

Dahei's inscrutable expression aroused the curiosity of several people, "He must have gone to catch chickens to eat."

Several people twitched the corners of their mouths, and Qiu Fanhui said, "How could a child like him catch chickens to eat..."

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw Xiaohu appearing at the door and hiccupped. As soon as he approached, several people immediately saw that there were still a few chicken feathers in his hair.

Three people: ...

"Little Hu, why did you go?" Siyu looked at the chicken feathers on his head, could it be that he went to catch the chicken as Dahei said?

"Go around the village." Of course Xiaohu would not say that he went to steal chickens to eat. He followed the sight of several people and patted his head and patted the chicken feathers away. "This village is full of evil spirits." It's heavy, kind of like being cursed."

Before the others could speak, Pan Yushang laughed loudly: "You read fantasy novels at such a young age?"

Siyu and Qiu Fanhui were also amused. Although they didn't say anything, they looked like they couldn't believe it.

Xiaohu ignored them, and only said to Ning Qingming and Dahei: "Let's go into the room and talk."

Ning Qingming and Dahei nodded, and walked into the room with him.

The three of them couldn't help but look at each other when they saw the closed door. Although Siyu called Master Ning Qingming, she followed the way of shouting on the V blog. She didn't really believe in these things, while Pan Yushang and Qiu Fanhui Not to mention, they are staunch atheists. These three said they were looking for materials for mountain legends, but in fact the direction of the thesis was to write "mountain legends do not exist."

So the three of them wanted to laugh at Xiaohu's nagging appearance, but the three of them didn't think much, and walked back to the house. Because they were afraid of accidents, the three of them thought about it and decided to live in the same room. .

On the other side, Ning Qingming and the others ate the baked sweet potatoes from Xiaohu Shunlai in the room.

Xiaohu said: "At first I wanted to give them a few, but seeing how they disliked me, I won't give it."

Dahei nodded: "Don't give it, it's not enough for us to eat."

Ning Qingming asked: "Where did you get it?"

Xiaohu said: "It's that Dazhu's house. I heard him tell his father that the village has been cursed, and he is very scared."

Ning Qingming nodded, while Dahei continued to ask, "What curse?"

Xiaohu said: "I don't know the details, but do you know, Boss?"

"I know a little bit." Ning Qingming said, "Didn't you find that there is the aura of your fox clan in this village?"

The little fox was startled: "Why didn't I find out?"

"Maybe it's because your clansman has a relatively high level of cultivation to hide all the traces?" Ning Qingming didn't say anything specific, because he guessed that someone would come to explain everything to them in person soon.

The little fox continued to talk about the village while nibbling sweet potatoes, "Let me tell you, I just went out for a walk, and I heard that not a single boy was born in this village in recent years."

"What's going on? Could it be just a coincidence?" Dahei used his imagination, "Just now the boss said that there is a fox clan in the village. Could it be that the people in this village offended your fox clan and were killed by you?" Cursed?"

"It's possible." Xiaohu nodded, "I'll go out and have a look later at night."

"I'm going too." Dahei said, and then asked, "Boss, are you going?"

"Go." Ning Qingming said, it would be boring not to go here anyway.

"But the people here are really insane. Many people in this village have used various methods to give the girls they gave birth to..." Xiaohu made a beheading gesture, "Desperate."

"Then let's leave them alone and let them suffer on their own." Dahei became angry when he thought that the man was going to burn his child just now, "Such people should go to prison!"

Xiaohu and Dahei squatted and muttered while gnawing sweet potatoes, but Ning Qingming took a look at the room where Siyu and the others were.

While they were talking here, there was no one in the house over there.

"Ghost stories often start when the protagonist goes out to explore out of curiosity..." Xiaohu also felt that there was no one in the room over there, and he smiled and clapped his hands after eating the sweet potatoes.

Dahei continued: "Let's go too, maybe we can save those human races who almost killed us because of curiosity."

Ning Qingming let out a chuckle, and they walked out of the room under the moonlight.

The night in the countryside is very dark, and every household turns off the lights early. Almost every household in this village has dogs. Ning Qingming and the others hardly need to use their spiritual senses to know which direction Siyu and the others are, because they will know where they are. There was a barking of dogs.

Compared with the mobilizing crowd on their side, the movement of Ning Qingming and the others was much smaller. Except for Xiaohu who wanted to catch the chicken when he saw it, everything went smoothly.

"Speaking of which, where are we going?" Ning Qingming was purely out for a walk, but the route became more and more deviant, why did he go all the way to the chickens?

Xiaohu and Dahei looked at each other, and they didn't know where to go, so the three of them thought about it, forget it, let's follow behind the protagonist of the ghost story.So the three turned their heads and walked towards the direction where Siyu and the others were.

"I know this direction." In the darkness, the little fox said in a low voice, "I just passed this way, this is where that big pillar lives."

"What are they doing here? Are they planning to beat that man up?" Dahei was a little puzzled.

"Get closer." Ning Qingming also whispered, stalking people furtively, not to mention, was quite exciting.

A few people are far away from Siyu and the others for a long time, and they are so close that they can see them when they turn around, but because it is too dark and they can't see their fingers, even if Siyu and the others turn their heads, they may not be able to see Ning Qingming and the others.

"Daqiu, are you sure that man will find his wife?" This was Pan Yushang's voice.

"I will definitely go." Qiu Fanhui was very sure, "You didn't see it just now. I saw that man glanced at the child in his wife's arms several times before leaving. He will definitely do it at night! While eating, I heard someone say that no child in the village is allowed to live past three days after birth, and today is the third day that child was born."

"I'm a little scared." After all, Siyu is a girl, and coming out at night in a strange place is already scary enough. If it's really like what Qiu Fanhui said, there will probably be a tough battle to fight next.

"Maybe I guessed wrong?" Qiu Fanhui said, "I hope nothing will happen."

Several people stopped talking, and the air fell into silence. After a while, Siyu said: "Master Ning is very powerful, we should have called him out together just now."

"Big sister, you are still a college student anyway, why are you more superstitious than the people in the village?" Pan Yushang was a little helpless, "Didn't he make his debut recently? The previous ones must be hype! Do you really think he is a master? "

Siyu choked and paused before saying, "It's safer if there are more people!"

Dazhu lived not too far away, and it took a few people to talk. The lights in Dazhu's house were still on, and the few people had been guarding outside for more than ten minutes without any change. Qiu Fanhui said, "Did I guess wrong?" gone?"

"It should be, maybe you just heard rumors?" As soon as Siyu finished speaking, she saw that the lights of Dazhu's house went out, and after a while, a sneaky figure walked out from the low wall.
