Someone always hinders my strategy

But the woman tugged on his sleeve, signaling him not to talk too much.

Thinking about it, Wan Yao felt a little impulsive, and she had already left for a hundred years, and the woman still wanted to live in this village, how could she be sad?I had no choice but to suppress my dissatisfaction, and followed the woman to her house at the end of the village.

The house is a little broken, but it is very clean. Just looking at it, you can tell that there is only one person living here.

"Ma'am, I don't know..." Wan Yao wanted to slap himself in the middle of the question. After living for so long, why can't he speak? There is no one at home, and she is a young woman. I'm afraid she...

"The husband of the slave family ... passed away because of a serious illness a few years ago, so people in the village think that the slave family..." Her words were intermittent, and some couldn't hear clearly, but Wan Yan understood that she thought she was Kefu, felt that she was Is a broom star.

Wan Yan suddenly felt that the small room made it hard for him to breathe, so he said to Chu Zhan, and went out for a walk with the little fox Aiai.

The sky was a bit dark, it was already dusk, but it seemed that it was late at night in the village, and there was no one on the road, even the old man who was sitting at the entrance of the village was gone.Although Wanjiao was a little puzzled, he didn't think about it deeply. After all, the customs of each village are different, but it's just a little weird in his heart.

"Boom, boom, boom..." There was a sound of something hitting the ground in front of him, Wan Yao was a little puzzled, and looking along the sound, it was an old woman walking towards him slowly.

After thinking about it, Wan Yao made way for the old woman. The road was narrow, and the old woman was still on crutches. It was inconvenient for her to walk, so she should make way for her.

Unexpectedly, the old woman seemed to be against him, wherever he gave way, the old woman would go, and in the end she simply stood in front of him.

He couldn't help feeling a little annoyed, and when he looked up and saw the old woman smiling at him, the anger disappeared, leaving only a trace of helplessness, this must be just an old urchin, don't worry about her.

"Dong dong dong..." The old woman tapped the ground three times with her crutches. Wan Yao was a little puzzled and didn't understand what it meant.

Looking down along the crutches, at this moment, under the shining of the setting sun, his shadow was stretched out, but this old woman has no shadow!

And the place where the crutches struck was exactly where the shadow of the old woman should have been!

The fearful heart calmed down, the old woman probably didn't intend to harm him, otherwise she wouldn't have reminded him about the shadow, and she wouldn't have done it yet.So, why specifically point out the problem of shadows?

Yes!He remembered, he remembered the strange point he had noticed when he first saw the woman by the river, it was a shadow!

Although there was Chu Zhan's figure blocking it, the woman was indeed invisible, why didn't I notice it at the time!

There is also no shadow of the old people at the entrance of the village that I saw when I entered the village before. The so-called weird eyes are pure pity, and there is a hint of gloating!

Wan Yan couldn't help becoming nervous. He thought of Chu Zhan who was still at the woman's house, and almost couldn't help but go back to save him, but he also knew that there was a problem in this village, and it was hard to say whether he could escape smoothly.

But it is certain to go back, Wan Yao turned and walked towards the end of the village, the moment he lifted his foot, the old woman grabbed his left sleeve.

A chill came down the sleeves, and he remembered that the woman had the same chill, but she didn't realize it because she fell into the water. Thinking about it this way, the woman might have lured them here on purpose.

He turned around and looked at the old woman. The old woman was still smiling as before, but this smile slightly relieved the chill in his heart. He subconsciously felt that the old woman would help him.

Seeing him turn his head back, the old woman tapped the ground three times with her crutches again.

Wan Yao understood that these three strokes must have some meaning, but she was just curious why the old woman didn't speak, but used such riddles to help him in such an urgent situation.

The old woman seemed to understand what he meant, and opened her mouth. Wan Yao was horrified to find that the old woman had no tongue in her mouth.

Even though he had a few lives in his hands in the first life, he had never seen such a terrible scene. For a moment, his brain was dominated by fear and he couldn't think.

For a moment, he thought of the old man at the entrance of the village, and remembered that he had been in the village for so long, but he had never heard the voice of anyone other than that woman.

Seeing Wan Yao froze there, the old woman shook her head, staggered and left in the direction she came from.

As soon as the old woman left, Wan Yao seemed to let go of his choked throat, and was shocked to find that his back was soaked in cold sweat.

He forced himself to calm down, and analyzed the instructions given to him by the old woman, three, what does it mean?

For some reason, he remembered that there seemed to be some memory in his mind about knocking three times, which refers to the third watch, but if there are no people in this village, he must not survive the third watch, this information is useless .

Then, this three must be the main point of escape.

He carefully recalled the details of his encounter with the old woman, and suddenly felt that something was wrong. Why didn't the old woman go somewhere else, but stopped him here?

Could it be that there is something special here?

He suddenly raised his left hand, the old woman grabbed his left sleeve, then...

He suddenly looked to the left, and it turned out to be an inconspicuous path, extending to nowhere.

Three, yes, besides leaving the village head and village tail, there is a third way, which is the way of life.

Clenching his hands tightly, Wan Yan wrote down the location here, and walked towards the end of the village that frightened him.

It was already night, but except for the house at the end of the village, there was no other room emitting candle light, and only that room smelled of food, and the food did not know what it was made of.

It's also because they are stupid, now that they are pointed out, Wanjiao naturally finds that there is something wrong with this village, but he didn't think of it before.

Back at the house at the end of the village, the woman greeted them enthusiastically, and said that she would treat them to a good meal. There were fish and meat on the table, which was a good food that ordinary villagers could not eat.

Wan Yan felt a little cold in his heart, so he did not hide it, did he definitely want to kill them...

He looked at Chu Zhan and saw that he looked normal, and he didn't know if he hadn't noticed it or if he had discovered it and pretended not to know to wait and see what happened.

But he always felt that this food was unpalatable, so he pulled Chu Zhan and said, "Brother Chu and I have been traveling for a long time, and now I am really tired. I hope I can sleep for a while, but my wife's good intentions are wasted."

"Engong, don't be polite. If you can't eat it, just don't eat it. Reheat it when you are hungry." Seemingly determined that they could not escape her palm, the woman did not keep them, and let the two of them eat together. into the room.

"There's something wrong here, let's leave quickly." Wan Yao leaned into Chu Zhan's ear and whispered.

Feeling the warm breath in his ears, Chu Zhan blushed a little, and replied in a daze: "Okay."

Seeing that he agreed, Wan Yan pulled him out of the window of the room and ran to the place where the horses were tethered. The two horses were a little anxious, and they must have discovered something wrong a long time ago, but they only regarded it as horses at the time. Just get used to it, how could animals be more sensitive than humans.

The two got on their horses quickly, Wan Yan planned to lead Chu Zhan to the previous place, turned around, but was horrified to find that the woman was behind them.

"You two benefactors, where are you going?" The woman's soft voice sounded, but at this time it was like a rakshasa, which made people feel frightened.

Wan Yan flicked his horsewhip, and Ah Liang ran quickly. Chu Zhan was not stupid, and immediately followed Wan Yan, heading for the path that the old woman had pointed to Wan Yan.

Suddenly, it became darker and darker in front of his eyes, and there was a gust of wind, with long cries and screams. Although Wan Yao was afraid in his heart, he still held the reins tightly and moved towards the goal.

soon, soon...

However, a scene that blinded Wan Yao happened. He saw a person lying on his stomach in front of the path before, and that person was the old woman who had shown him the way.

The old woman looked very miserable at this time, her legs were gone, and the hand holding the cane was gone, as if she was punishing her for guiding Wan Yao.

However, even so, the old woman still stretched out her remaining hand, pointing to the only passage, her tongueless mouth was slightly opened, making a broken voice of ah ah.

Wan Yao understands that this is urging them to go, but if they want to go this way, they have to step on her body.

His tears were about to fall, he remembered that he gave way to the old woman before, and the cause he had planted at that time made the old woman use such a cruel way to make up for the fruit at this moment.

But when he thought of Chu Zhan behind him, and the woman who was chasing after him, he could only endure his grief and step on the old woman.

He closed his eyes, and just before he closed his eyes, he saw the old woman smiling, and he seemed to hear an old voice saying:

"If I had been so brave back then, my child wouldn't have died so badly..."

He recalled that period of his own memory, and thought of the gentle mother in his memory, and felt a burst of grief in his heart, but the grief disappeared quickly, just like the precise control of his emotions in his first life.

He closed his eyes, a little confused, a little dazed, at this moment he didn't know what he should think, let alone what he should do.

But with his eyes closed, he didn't see a golden light flashed in the eyes of the little fox in his arms.

They were galloping in the darkness, and after a long time, a ray of light greeted them.Finally, they left the dark village, and behind them, the shrill cry of the woman also disappeared.

When he saw the sun again, Wan Yao realized that the time had not passed for a long time, but he felt that it had been a long time, as if the world had changed.

At this moment, Chu Zhan's voice sounded: "That woman just now...wasn't a human?"

"Why, you just found out?" Realizing that Chu Zhan's voice was trembling, Wan Yan's grief that had almost disappeared completely disappeared, leaving only amused.

"She, she...how could..." Chu Zhan's face was paralyzed, but in fact his face was pale, and he couldn't even speak a complete sentence.

"Didn't you notice? She has no shadow." Wan Yao said leisurely.

Chu Zhan was about to collapse, he really didn't notice that much, he was a big-hearted person, not to mention that this situation was beyond his experience, who would have thought that they had just walked through the gate of hell.

"Hey." Wan Yan sighed, stood on tiptoe and patted Chu Zhan's shoulder, "Don't be afraid, we're coming out now."

He was once again helpless about his height, but his expression was extremely gentle: "I'm here, don't be afraid."

I wrote it at night, I was a little scared.
