After listening to Ke Xu's words, Ning Zishan thought carefully about the robbers in the video just now, and suddenly found that there were indeed some familiar faces in it. Those robbers... seemed to be the villagers of this village!

Although their faces at that time were not as thin as they are now, Ning Zishan did find a few familiar faces among them, including the ones who guarded outside their door every day.

"So why do they want to rob the old landlord's property? Could it be that they are just looking for wealth?" Ning Zishan was puzzled, "It's too arrogant to rob with such a big fanfare?"

After hearing this, Ke Xu chuckled and said, "Have you forgotten whose home some of the stolen things are now placed in? God."

Ning Zishan disagreed: "But if the village chief really wanted the old landlord's belongings, they should have taken away all his belongings when the old landlord came to the village to take refuge in the first place, and they would not allow him to build such things in the village. Make it a bigger house."

"Not bad, fiancee." Ke Xu suddenly laughed amusedly after hearing his thoughts: "Now I can actually refute my speculation."

Ning Zishan touched his nose in embarrassment: "I just think it's a little unreasonable."

"I didn't mean to blame you." Ke Xu smiled and said, "On the contrary, I like you very much. We can discuss doubts together..." Ke Xu lowered his eyelashes, "I was always alone before."

The other party's lonely appearance caused Ning Zishan's heart to be pulled hard.

"Okay, it's almost dawn." Ke Xu quickly returned to his usual appearance: "Let's stop here tonight, maybe these doubts can be solved tomorrow night, if there are new images in the evening."

The next morning, Ning Zishan and Ke Xu met Ren Daoyi in the dining room.

"Yes... I'm sorry..." Ren Daoyi felt guilty, his eyes dodged and shrank, and even the apology seemed so insincere.

The so-called "shameless people are invincible in the world" probably refers to people like Ren Daoyi. When Ning Zishan thought of his kindness and revenge last night, he was full of anger. He clenched his fists and was about to walk towards him, but was stopped by Ke Xu After a while, he lightly pressed Ning Zishan's shoulder and asked him to sit down on the bench.

Afterwards, with a half-smile expression on his face, Ke Xu leisurely walked behind Ren Daoyi under the eyes of other people who were either curious or watching, and put his hands lightly on Ren Daoyi's shoulders.

Ren Daoyi trembled heavily as if he had been burned.

Ke Xu strengthened his hands, and his slender fingers sank deeply into Ren Daoyi's shoulders. Ren Daoyi's whole face wrinkled into a chrysanthemum in pain, cold sweat rolled down from the corner of his forehead, but Ke Xu's coercion He didn't dare to move even if he was shrouded.

As if deliberately torturing him, Ke Xu bent down slightly after a long while, and said coldly in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "If you hide in a place where no one is around before it gets dark tonight, otherwise there may be nothing wrong with you." Maybe when you wake up, you will find yourself lying in the arms of a monster?"

Ren Daoyi's face turned pale in a flash, he trembled like a straw in the cold wind, and finally cried out under the strong pressure from Ke Xu: "Yes... I'm sorry... I'm sorry again... Don't dare anymore, please forgive me...I'm sorry..."

Ke Xu straightened up, let go of him, and walked slowly back to Ning Zishan. Before he could sit down, there was a sudden "boom" sound from behind him. Ren Daoyi stood up too violently, knocking down a He didn't even bother to hold on to the stool, and ran out of the dining room in a panic.

"This is..." Jiang Xingfa couldn't help asking, "What's going on between you two?"

Ke Xu raised his eyes and glanced at Jiang Xingfa, the rolling anger and hostility in his eyes hadn't dissipated, like a storm coming on the sea, directly calming him down.

For the first time in so many days, Jiang Xingfa felt so intuitively that this man who did not know how many dungeons he had passed was so terrifying.

The villagers in the village brought breakfast and told everyone before leaving that the village head asked them to go to Aunt Huang's funeral together after eating.

Of the seven people, Ren Daoyi didn't come, they didn't know if he had run away or if he was hiding in the room and dared not come out.

It was said to be a funeral, but it was actually a simple hut built at the entrance of the village. There was no mourning hall, no couplets, no candles and incense, no mourning, only a few pieces of paper money scattered on the ground.

Aunt Huang's coffin was still supported by a few stools, and the coffin boards were turned aside, and a broken mat was covering her body, revealing only her intact face.

Shabby as hell.

Everyone knew what was going on under this broken mat, and the more they tried to conceal it, the more people felt that there was some ulterior secret about Aunt Huang's death.

But Ning Zishan and Ke Xu didn't care, because they guessed last night that Aunt Huang was actually bitten to death by that woman.

After returning from the entrance of the village, Ke Xu first went to Ren Daoyi's room, which was already empty, and Ren Daoyi ran away under his threat.

Returning to the room satisfied, Ke Xu asked Ning Zishan, "Why didn't you ask me what I said to Ren Daoyi this morning?"

Ning Zishan shook his head.

Ke Xu said, "Ren Daoyi has escaped."

Ning Zishan was surprised, maybe Ren Daoyi didn't know that he would be in a state of bewitched and hungry at night, looking for meat to eat, but Ning Zishan knew that in his state, he left this The shelter of the house will definitely not survive the day of the celebration.

Ke Xu obviously knew it too, and he continued, "I thought you would intercede for him."

Ning Zishan pursed her pale pink thin lips: "Plead for mercy for someone who wants to harm me?"

In fact, Ke Xu could have beat up Ren Daoyi, tied him up and hung him on the gate, and then stood inside the gate watching him struggle desperately, cry, and beg for help, and finally be torn apart by the skeleton-like woman. The flesh, the internal organs were pulled out, and gnawed into a pile of skeletons.

But he didn't do that, because he knew that Ning Zishan definitely didn't want to see him stained with other people's blood for his own sake, even if that person was a cowardly and shameful bastard.

"Go to sleep." Ke Xu suddenly felt a little bored, he yawned: "I hardly slept last night."

Ning Zishan responded, and the two of them slept until the afternoon.

It was already past lunch time when You Shiting found them, but she kindly brought two steamed buns for them.

Ke Xu got up a little angry, and when he opened the door, his face was as cold as the twelfth lunar month.

You Shiting didn't care, and raised the bowl in her hand: "You didn't come for lunch, so I thought I should bring you some."

Ning Zishan reached out to take the bowl, Ke Xu glanced at it, but didn't let her in: "If you have anything to say, just tell me."

You Shiting smiled slightly: "I found a hidden path in this village this morning. I wanted to go, but the villagers who followed stopped me, so I came to ask you for help."

"Okay." Ke Xu said, "We'll go out together tomorrow morning. You find a way to hold back the villagers who are watching us, and Zishan and I will investigate."

"I found the place." You Shiting pointed to Ke Xu, then pointed to herself: "So I want to go with you, you can ask Ning Zishan to lure people away."

"Conditions? Have you forgotten that you need our help now, not we need you." Ke Xu said: "This village is so big, even if you don't need to lead the way, I don't think we will be able to find the hidden place in a short time. place."

Ke Xu deliberately emphasized the word "concealed". The smile on You Shiting's face finally cooled down. She looked at Ning Zishan with a subtle expression, but she was speaking to Ke Xu. She said: "I saw what happened last night. You took good care of Ning Zishan. Even in such a dangerous environment, even if he knew that Ren Daoyi had a problem with his character, he would naively think of it when he was in danger. To save him..."

With a mocking tone, You Shiting pointed out Ning Zishan's mistakes mercilessly. It was because of his innocence that Ke Xu put himself in danger with him. Even though Ke Xu never scolded him, Ning Zishan would Never stopped blaming myself.

He remembered that in the first dungeon, Ke Xu said that he hated "brainless idiots who only want to rely on others" the most. , the most mindless idiot is actually himself.

Does Ke Xu hate himself now?

Ning Zishan was flustered.

You Shiting paused for a while, as if appreciating Ning Zishan's embarrassment, the corners of her mouth became more mocking: "But even if you can protect him for a while, can you still protect him for a lifetime?"

A warm hand reached over, and grabbed Ning Zishan's cold fingertips into the palm of his hand. He squeezed it tightly, as if he was silently reprimanding him for his wild thinking, and then he heard Ke Xu say: "I won't bother you." Don't worry, even if I can't protect him forever, even if I die here in the next second, I will definitely protect him until the last second of my life."

Ning Zishan and You Shiting's eyes widened at the same time.

You Shiting stared at Ke Xu, and ground her teeth, but there was nothing she could do. There was a stalemate for nearly a minute. In the end, You Shiting compromised. Before leaving, she said, "I have two questions about last night."

Ke Xu raised his chin to signal for her to ask.

You Shiting said: "Ren Daoyi was attacked by that woman last night, right? But why didn't that woman attack you?"

Ke Xu said: "I'm not too sure. My initial guess is that we didn't eat meat."

It was indeed the right choice not to eat meat at the beginning, You Shiting thought about it, and asked again: "Then how do you plan to deal with Ren Daoyi?"

"It's just a small threat to him, but it seems that I don't need to do it now." Ke Xu said in a tone as ordinary as talking about the weather: "He has left this house. In order not to be found by me, I'm afraid now I've found a good place to hide."

You Shiting suddenly laughed, which belonged to predators, with a cruel smile: "Then there should be a good show tonight."

After she finished speaking, she waved her hand, left a sentence that she would come to find them tomorrow morning, and then turned and left.

Ke Xu closed the door, turned around, and was taken aback by Ning Zishan's red eye circles. He was taken aback for a moment, and then teased, "Are you... crying? Could it be that you were moved by my handsome speech just now? Falling in love with me all of a sudden?"

Hearing that kind of words, it is impossible not to be moved, but being asked by Ke Xu, it would be embarrassing to admit it, so Ning Zishan sniffled and said stiffly: "Speaking that kind of words in a serious way is really a double-education. gone."

"Pfft..." Ke Xu laughed.

Ning Zishan also laughed, and said softly after laughing, "Ke Xu, thank you."

A thank you is too much, Ning Zishan didn't explain it, but Ke Xu knew it in his heart, he bent his index finger, gently scratched under Ning Zishan's red eyes, and replied: "You're welcome."
