It was almost noon at this time, and the villagers had already started a day of hard work.

When Lin Mo and Si Jin were about to leave for Xiao Liu's house, a familiar slightly hoarse voice interrupted their movements, "Guests, where are we going?"

Si Jin stopped slightly, then turned on her toes, looked up at the village head who was coming from behind, with a distant smile on her face, and said very politely, "Village head, what a coincidence. This is finally over. ?"

"I gave some advice about the children, and it took me a while." The old village head replied calmly, with a kind and kind smile on his face, but his tone was slightly profound, "It's not like the two distinguished guests who came to see you curiously. After a lively scene, I felt bored and left again.”

An imperceptible light flashed in the bottom of his deep eyes. Lin Mo raised his eyelids and replied calmly, "We just care about the villagers, and we don't have the mentality of watching a show. The village chief is too worried."

The old village chief looked at Lin Mo and said with a smile, "Just kidding, distinguished guests, don't mind."

"However, I still have to remind the distinguished guests, don't be too curious. If you inadvertently collide with any god, it would be a bit bad. Don't you think so?"

Lin Mo's eyes darkened slightly, and he caught the coldness in the village head's eyes. He suddenly hooked his lips, and replied, "We don't believe in gods, so naturally we are not afraid of colliding with them."

The village chief's expression froze suddenly, and he smiled unnaturally after a long while, "In that case, the honored guests have fun, I'll take a step first."

……

Seeing the leaving figure of the village chief, Si Jin raised her eyebrows slightly and smiled, "What an old fox."

"He should have noticed that we were secretly investigating the village." With calm and deep eyes, Lin Mo said lightly, "Leave him alone, he won't show his fox tail until the last day."

They said they were going to squat with Xiao Liu, but the two of them couldn't just stand guard in front of other people's houses.

So Lin Mo and Si Jin separated, wandered around Xiao Liu's house, and talked to the villagers from time to time, looking like they were bored and wanted to pass the time.

Lin Mo approached a middle-aged woman calmly, pretending to be curious and asked her, "Auntie, are you busy, can I ask you something?"

The woman was lowering her head and rubbing her clothes with one hand. She followed the sound and raised her head. When she saw Lin Mo, she put down her clothes excitedly and replied, "It turns out that he is a distinguished guest. If you tell me, the aunt will tell you everything she knows."

"Is there very few outsiders in the village?"

"Yes, dear guest, we haven't seen outsiders for a long time."

"Mother, have the villagers ever gone out?" Lin Mo's eyes flickered, and he asked seemingly casually, "Have you ever thought about going out? Don't you feel bored staying in the village all the time?"

The aunt was immediately stopped by the question, and after a while she said in a daze, "The village is pretty good, why do you want to go outside? And as long as aunt can remember, no one in the village has gone out, and everyone doesn't want to go out."

The aunt paused, seeming to think of something, and added, "However, auntie heard from the previous generation that there were still contacts between the village and the outside hundreds of years ago. It's just that something happened, and everyone stopped going out. .Besides, there were frequent wars and famines at that time, and the outside world was too chaotic, so it was better to be in the village."

Lin Mo's heart skipped a beat. He had a hunch that he seemed to have caught some important clue.

Hundreds of years ago, there were frequent wars, and the communication between the village and the outside world was inevitably affected.So, what happened to keep this village under siege for hundreds of years?

The picture of Old Liu before his death suddenly flashed in his mind, and a gleam of light flashed in his dark eyes, Lin Mo raised his eyebrows thoughtfully.

retribution?

What wicked thing did the villagers do to be besieged for years?Is it because of evil spirits that the village is so cloudy?

"Auntie, let me ask you another question." Lin Mo said while carefully observing the reaction of the auntie, "Why did Lao Liu suddenly become like that before he died yesterday?"

The aunt's complexion changed suddenly, and her eyes were full of extreme anxiety. It took a long time before she forced a smile and said, "My dear guest, why do you want to inquire about this matter?"

Lin Mo observed the aunt carefully from the corner of his eye, pretending to be a little puzzled and said, "I just feel a little strange, is this some kind of secret that cannot be revealed?"

With a frightened expression and panicked eyes, the aunt asked in a low voice, "My dear guest, do you really want to know?"

"Ah."

"It's actually not a secret. The villagers just think it's too weird, so they are very taboo about this on weekdays and don't mention it much. But you are a distinguished guest from the village chief, so the aunt will tell you."

The aunt said in a low voice, "This story still has to start hundreds of years ago. At that time, the people in the village angered the mountain god, and the whole village was punished by the mountain god. Since then, the villagers have often been unlucky, even to You can't die with dignity in the end."

"So they were punished and the villagers became like that before they died?"

Lin Mo pointed to his left arm and asked, "Is this also a punishment?"

The aunt understood what Lin Mo meant.

She shook her head and continued, "No, this is a life-saving method."

Lin Mo narrowed his eyes, his eyes darkened slightly.

"Actually, a long time ago, the villagers were healthy like ordinary people. But didn't the aunt just say that since they were punished, the villagers often had bad luck?"

"My dear guest, do you know how unlucky the villagers were at that time? People often died in the village, and the way of death was also very strange. Some died of choking while eating, some fell to death while walking on the ground, and some drowned while washing clothes... In short, no one in the village can survive safely."

"The villagers are almost desperate. At this time, the ancestor of the village chief stepped forward, and he gave the villagers a method of transshipment. At first, everyone didn't believe it, but some people couldn't bear it. After trying it, they found that it was really effective. Since then, the life of the villagers has gradually become smoother, and everyone respects the ancestors of the village chief very much. After passing down from generation to generation, the villagers' respect for the village chief's family has only increased."

Lin Mo raised his eyebrows, "Ma'am, the way to transfer luck is to cut off the left arm?"

The aunt nodded, "Yes."

Hearing this, Lin Mo frowned slightly, feeling something was wrong, "If you are unlucky and need to transfer, why doesn't the village chief's family use this method?"

The aunt replied, "Because the village head's family respected the mountain god very much back then, and it is said that they had a good relationship with the mountain god, and were even called the messenger of the mountain god, so they were not punished by the mountain god, and naturally there was no need to transfer luck."

"Besides, the village head's family asked the mountain god for this method of transshipment. The village head's family is very kind to us!"

"This custom has been handed down since then. Except for the village chief, no one in the village dares to keep their arms open, otherwise they will be punished."

The aunt suddenly said apologetically, "By the way, distinguished guests. When you first came to the village, everyone didn't know that you were the distinguished guests of the village chief. Instead, they thought that you were the dead star and would bring bad luck to everyone. That's why everyone was so emotional. Excited, I'm really sorry."

……

After finishing the conversation with the aunt, Lin Mo lowered his eyebrows and thought, and finally had some ideas in his mind.

"Chu Mu, you're back to your senses." A gust of warm wind suddenly blew in my ears, and a low and warm voice sounded in my ears unexpectedly, "He's come out, hurry up and follow."

Lin Mo frowned slightly, raised his eyes and looked forward, subconsciously jumping in his heart.

The young man lowered his head, looked tired and sad, and was walking out of the village with a big bulging cloth bag on his shoulders. There was nothing strange about it.

However, most of the cloth bag was covered with blackened bloodstains, densely connected into a frightening red color, and Lin Mo even saw the outline of a human head from the surface of the cloth that was dyed reddish black.

Even after a distance, bursts of strong rancid smell still came over, making people suffocate.

"The yin energy is so heavy." Si Jin's face darkened slightly, and a cold light flickered in his eyes.

The two looked at each other and followed quietly.

……

Lin Mo frowned. He would never have thought that Xiao Liu would stop at the place where Old Liu's soul body was dismembered!

He squinted his eyes and watched Xiao Liu open the bag and put the divided body belonging to Old Liu into it one by one. The next moment, something surprising happened!

A thick and cold Yin Qi suddenly rose from the spot, quickly covering the corpse, and after a few seconds, the corpse disappeared instantly.

Xiao Liu didn't change his face, he still put the corpse in calmly, as if he had been mentally prepared for the scene before him.

Until he took out his father's dead head and put it in with a sad face, a shrill scream suddenly exploded in mid-air!
