Xiao Ke got a room in the tree house, Cui Xiaojiu gave her ointment, and told her not to worry too much, and take a good rest.

There is no ready-made food in the storage bag, Cui Xiaojiu is going to go down to the tree house to cook, Lingjun also wants to follow, Cui Xiaojiu refuses.She pinched the center of her brows: "You take care of her a little bit, don't fall or something if you don't get used to it for the first time."

Ling Jun let out a "hmm", stayed in the bedroom, and took out a book from the storage ring to read.

When Cui Xiaojiu went up with the steaming food, he didn't find anyone in Xiao Ke's room.

"Da da……"

There was a steady sound of going down the stairs outside the house, Cui Xiaojiu turned his head to look, Ling Jun had a cold face, holding a book in one hand, and hanging in his sleeve with the other.Xiao Ke tugged at her sleeve and followed her down, with a timid expression on his face.

Cui Xiaojiu blinked: "Come to eat."

Xiao Ke was also clingy when eating, sitting next to Lingjun and refused to move, Cui Xiaojiu told her to relax, so that she would not be able to eat, Xiao Ke's eyes were red, and he murmured: "I'm sorry...I'm afraid... ..."

Cui Xiaojiu looked helplessly: "There are no bad guys here, don't be afraid."

Xiao Ke lowered his head and said nothing.

Ling Jun said in a cold voice, "let go", Xiao Ke then moved his place, picked up his chopsticks, and ate in silence.After taking two bites, she suddenly realized something, turned her head to look at Lingjun with her dark eyes: "Aren't you going to eat?"

Cui Xiaojiu held his cheek and suddenly felt a little redundant.

She looked at Ling Jun, um... good eye shape, the tails of the eyes are slightly upturned, and the eyebrows are like distant mountain daisies. She looks cold and unattainable, and her gestures seem to be surrounded by the prosperity and decline of the years that others can't see through. He is dressed in white, just like the fairy in the sky.

Lingjun will be loved and worshiped by many people.She suddenly realized this.

"do I look good?"

Suddenly hearing Ling Jun's voice, Cui Xiaojiu was startled, and then realized that Ling Jun was talking to him, and her peeking just now was discovered.

No, that's not even peeking, it's just looking at it openly... Why did you just wander off?

She pinched her hot ears, her face blushed, and after a while, she whispered, "It's pretty."

After finally "eating" a meal, Cui Xiaojiu went out in the name of breathing.A refreshing wind blew over, and she just breathed a sigh of relief when she heard movement behind her.

The footsteps are light, but steady.

It sounds like Lingjun.

Cui Xiaojiu's tone was stuck in his throat, he couldn't get up or down.She put her arms on the railing and pretended to ask casually, "Why did you come out?"

"I don't like it inside." Ling Jun walked to her side and said lightly.

Cui Xiaojiu turned her head slightly: "Think she's too clingy?"

"No," Ling Jun lowered his eyes, "I don't hate clingy people."

Cui Xiaojiu blinked, and suddenly remembered that when he was by Lingjun's side, he seemed to be very clingy... No, not only then, but also now...

The heat that had just subsided seemed to reappear, making her almost at a loss as to what to do, squeezing away the little unhappiness in her heart.

She had nothing to say: "You said what to do when we leave, you can't leave her in the village, and you can't take her with you."

Ling Jun said casually: "Then find someone to raise."

"Oh... Then will she..." Cui Xiaojiu's voice stopped abruptly because Ling Jun patted her on the head.

Ling Jun's voice was very light: "Everyone has their own fate, she is smarter than you imagine."

Cui Xiaojiu lowered his head, redness would spread all over his slender neck.

After a while, she gave a soft "hmm",

During the day, he spent the whole day coaxing the children. At night, when Xiao Ke fell asleep, Cui Xiaojiu and Ling Jun left the tree house.

After discussing it, they decided to go to the village overnight, as it was too elusive to find clues outside the village.

Following Yelu, the two came to the entrance of the village.After performing a technique to conceal the breath, Cui Xiaojiu went in first.

Tonight, the moon is covered by clouds, and the whole village is dark. The wooden doors are like bloody mouths that open quietly.

Not quite right.

The village is too quiet.

Cultivators have clear ears and eyesight, and can hear extremely subtle sounds.But there is no noise in this village at all, such as gossip, sleep talking, flipping, etc... nothing at all.

It's as if there are not people here, but a group of dead bodies.

Such a metaphor suddenly popped up in Cui Xiaojiu's mind.

She was taken aback by herself and didn't dare to think about it anymore.

Apart from the lack of sound, there is something weird about this place... The tip of her nose moved.

"Lingjun," she set up a sound-proof barrier, "do you smell something burnt?"

Ling Jun paused and shook his head.

"No?" Cui Xiaojiu sniffed again, and the burnt smell disappeared, "Probably my illusion... This place is too weird."

The two carefully inspected the corners of the village and the ancestral hall, but found nothing special.

It's weird everywhere, but you can't fault it.

Got nothing.

After inspecting the last part of the village, the sky was almost bright, and Cui Xiaojiu and Lingjun quietly left the village.

The moment the sun came out of the horizon, the village suddenly seemed to flow like a still picture. A woman walked out of the house yawning, the poultry also started to move, and the voice of people filled the whole village.

Cui Xiaojiu watched all this quietly, and suddenly shuddered.

"Lingjun, do you think they... know they're like this?"

Ling Jun shook his head: "Maybe I don't know."

Back at the tree house, Xiao Ke has already got up, staring at a pair of big eyes, carefully peeking down from the tree house.

Cui Xiaojiu couldn't help thinking: Is Xiao Ke the same as those villagers last night?Or will there be changes after leaving the village?

Spend the day resting and finding clues.

Cui Xiaojiu intuited that the point of breaking the game was related to the village, and recalled the intersection with the village since entering the mountain, and felt that there was something wrong with that prayer.

So she went back to the village and asked about it, but most of the villagers kept secret about it, and finally got only a few words.

"No violations, no mistakes..."

"There will be disaster!"

"Outsiders don't ask so much."

Asked about the others and refused to say anything.

Cui Xiaojiu thought about it, and asked Xiao Ke again.

Little Ke Yomo hesitated for the sake of saving his life, and agreed.

Cui Xiaojiu then asked: "What is the purpose of this prayer? Is it a good weather?"

Xiao Ke got stuck on the first question, she tilted her head, and hesitated for a moment: "It should be... right. If you don't do it well, something bad will happen."

Cui Xiaojiu frowned slightly: Even the people in this village didn't know what the ceremony was for?Or...is there a certain degree of deviation in the memories of the villagers?

She then asked, "When did the benediction start? Well... I mean, since when has this ceremony been around?"

Xiao Ke opened her mouth slightly, cute but dumb, and she said for a while, "It probably happened a long time ago? It's strange...it doesn't seem to be like this, it's not like this..."

She was incoherent for a while, and suddenly said with certainty: "It was passed down from the ancestors."

Cui Xiaojiu thought to himself: No wonder.

Then no matter how she asked, she could only get the answer "passed down from ancestors".

Sending the silly Xiao Ke back to the room, Cui Xiaojiu pressed his throbbing forehead, and Ling Jun came over: "What's the matter?"

Cui Xiaojiu shook his head: "I can't ask too much, these mountain people definitely have problems with their memory, but I don't know what happened to them."

Ling Jun said softly, "Don't think too much."

"Ah."

Ling Jun added: "Perhaps we will find out when the time is up."

Cui Xiaojiu bent his lips and said "OK".

She originally took Lingjun's words as comforting innocence, but she did not expect it to be true.

They didn't go out that night, and they were going to see if there would be any changes when Xiao Ke left the village.

When he arrived at the house, Xiao Ke didn't move much, but some rustling sounds came from outside the wooden house.

Cui Xiaojiu ran out of the room to have a look, but he froze in place, his scalp numb.

——It was the villagers who made the voices!

Like zombies, they walked straight towards the tree house unconsciously, with blank faces, and were finally stopped by the defensive magic circle spontaneously formed by the spiritual weapon.

Even if they were stopped, they didn't stop. They scratched and bumped their heads as if they didn't know the pain.

The back is stacked to the front, densely packed, layer after layer.

"what happened……"

Cui Xiaojiu stared blankly for a while, then suddenly remembered, the villagers are all like this, so what about Xiao Ke?

"Lingjun!" She ran into the room to look, but Xiao Ke was restrained.

I saw that she was tied into a long strip with a rope, arching on the bed like a caterpillar.The instigator leaned against the wall, crossed his shoulders and watched indifferently.

Cui Xiaojiu: "Is she also..."

Ling Jun nodded: "Suddenly went crazy and walked out, I can't knock her out, I can only tie her up with a rope."

Cui Xiaojiu sat down at the table, took a sip of the cold tea, and calmed himself down: "There is a layer of villagers outside, I don't know why they are crazy... If there is no defense, they might crawl into the house gone."

Even at this moment, the villagers are perseveringly pushing forward.

Ling Jun sat down and looked at Xiao Ke who was tied up: "Probably because there are things 'belonging' to the village here, and they are eager to return the original things."

Return the original?

For a moment, Cui Xiaojiu seemed to have caught something.

The village doesn't like outsiders, which means it doesn't like change, and Xiao Ke's being taken away also means change.

What will happen if it changes?

Have no idea.

After a while, she patted the table and muttered dissatisfiedly, "I paid for it, a silver ingot."

—Of course this is a joke.

Ling Jun bent his lips to save face.

Cui Xiaojiu heard the rustling sound outside the window, leaned on the table, and sighed: "This is our second night here, isn't it too exciting?"

What about the third night?What will happen again?
