things i don't know

Being so frightened by Fu Yuanyi, no one dared to say anything, they all closed their lips tightly, and looked around with breathless concentration.

There was a slight rustling sound in the woods, as if human footsteps had stirred the weeds.

Qin Yong's mouth moved back with a "swish", and he hid between You Xinnian and Fu Yuanyi with a blue face: "Mom, what is it! It's a human or a ghost!"

You Xinnian stood in front of Fu Yuanyi and drew out his sword. Fu Yuanyi looked towards the source of the sound, and it was pitch black.

"It's a person." Fu Yuanyi said.

"Human?" Qin Yong said, "Alright then, next question, are you human or ghost?"

You Xinnian: "..."

Accompanied by the sound of coughing, a group of people in ragged clothes came out of the woods carefully with big stones and sticks in their hands.They are full of beards, haggard, and dirtier than tramps. They hold the most primitive weapons in their hands, and their eyes are full of hostility.

You Xinnian stared at the past, and they also looked back, the two sides stood still, thinking about each other's identity.

You Xinian saw the sickness on the dirty faces of these people, and at the same time, he also felt a strange excitement.This excitement comes from the greed and hotness in their eyes.You Xinnian is no stranger to such eyes. She has seen this kind of excitement in the eyes of many god-level entrepreneurs who are eager to succeed and want to create their own empire myths. Even her father has the same look. look.But why do these weird tramps have such eyes?

Fu Yuanyi whispered in her ear: "These people have been following us from afar since we got off the plane. What do they look like?"

You Xin read: "They are all dressed in rags, they look like savages. But there is one thing that is weird..."

"eccentric?"

Fu Yuanyi pondered for a while, and said, "It seems that Aunt Wu may indeed be alive. These people should all be patients who were forcibly sent here."

You Xinnian saw these people with bright eyes, but coughing constantly, all of them were sallow and thin, and most of them were over 50 years old by visual estimation.They followed them all the way from the moment they got off the plane and never attacked them. If Fu Yuanyi hadn't discovered them, they might not have chosen to be forced to show up.Under the watchful eyes of this group of old, weak, sick and disabled, You Xinnian felt that they were the threatening intruders.

"Don't be afraid, we won't hurt you." You Xinnian broke away from Fu Yuanyi's umbrella, stepped forward, and said in a gentle tone, "You are all villagers of Changshou Village, right?"

"Who are you?" The old man standing behind the crowd asked, "The accent doesn't sound like a local."

"Yes, we are indeed not locals. We are here to find someone. Do you know where Wu Xiuying is?"

They still held the stone and wooden stick, glanced at each other, and did not answer You Xinnian's question.

Qin Yong poked his head and looked at the old man for a while, then hesitantly said: "Uncle Huo, is that you?"

The old man seemed uncomfortable when he heard his name, and was taken aback for a moment. Qin Yong stepped forward: "It's really you, Uncle Huo! I thought you were dead!" He pushed aside the crowd and held the old man's hand, "I Xiaoyong! Don’t you recognize me? That’s right, I haven’t seen you for so many years, and I don’t quite recognize you, I just remember that you have a scar on your face.” Qin Yong pointed to his face.

Uncle Huo avoided his gaze and coughed violently: "What are you doing here? This is not the place for you to come, hurry up and take those few with you."

"I came to look for my mother, and I went back when I found her." Qin Yong said, "Uncle Huo, have you seen my mother? Wu Xiuying! She has been sent here for more than a year."

"Wu Xiuying..." Uncle Huo seemed to be thinking about it, and seemed to be letting go, Qin Yong was in a hurry, and You Xinnian also looked at him intently.

"She's dead, dead." Uncle Huo shook his head.Hearing the word "death", Qin Yong's body turned cold, and he was speechless for a long time. You Xinnian still stared at Uncle Huo, and interjected, "Uncle Huo, are you sure Aunt Wu is dead? When did she die?" Why did you die, do you still remember?"

Uncle Huo looked back at her, and suddenly threw the stone in his hand at her.You Xinnian raised his sword to block it, the stone flew out, and hit the other old head impartially.The old man covered his bleeding head and yelled non-stop. The companions around him immediately gathered around and scolded You Xinian angrily: "You bastards who don't know how to respect the old! Who allowed you to step into Crane Village?! Get out of here! Don't Pollution of the pure land of Crane Village! Go away!"

You Xinnian was dumbfounded, Fu Yuanyi patted her on the shoulder lightly and said: "These people are very weird, let's go first, don't confront them head-on."

You Xinnian nodded, and pulled Qin Yong back.Qin Yong refused to leave, with snot and tears: "I don't believe my mother is dead! You all say she is dead, show the evidence! Show the evidence——"

You Xinnian drew out his sword and laid it across his neck. Qin Yong turned around and saw a jade-faced Raksha gnashing his teeth: "Are you fucking going?"

Qin Yong broke out in a cold sweat, and stopped making noise in an instant: "Go...go..."

Yucheng was puzzled: "Is this the image I have in your mind?"

Lin Qiong sneered: "Do you think you have such a thing as image?"

When they walked back, the sun was setting, and You Xinnian saw the helicopter standing in the setting sun from a distance.Suddenly there was an inexplicable feeling behind her that attracted her to turn her head. She stopped and looked back, and saw Uncle Huo's group of people standing motionless in the afterglow of the setting sun, like dried corpses, but there was still a weird smile on their faces.Laugh contentedly, laugh vigorously.

You Xinnian, who had seen too many weird people and strange things, couldn't help but get goosebumps all over his body from this scene.

They retreated to the helicopter, Qin Yong's legs hurt, and he fell to the ground, moaning unceasingly.Putting his hands in his coat pockets, Fu Yuanyi analyzed with great interest: "Did you hear that just now? Those people said 'Crane Village is a pure land'."

You Xin read: "Yes, it's really weird. If these old people were forcibly sent to Crane Village to wait to die because of serious illnesses, how could they think this is a pure land? And seeing how many of them there are, if you want to forcibly enter If you go down the mountain, even if there are people from Changshou Village guarding with guns, it is not certain who will win if the two sides confront each other. But they seem to be very territorial, and they regard Crane Village as their own territory, let alone leave Crane Village. When someone enters Crane Village, they will be able to spot them immediately and put on an offensive posture. What's even weirder is their appearance. You can say that they are seriously ill. Indeed, they all look haggard, but let's say they are really haggard. , Their eyes are not the same thing, if you put them on the grill, they can laugh and eat clean."

"Is this the weirdness you just said?"

"Ah."

Fu Yuanyi said: "If they were sent to Crane Village to wait for death because they were seriously ill, they would definitely be discouraged by being terminally ill, and it is unlikely that they still have the strength and energy to build thatched huts on the mountain."

The more he talked, the more weird he felt, You Xinnian asked Qin Yong, "You know that person named Huo, do you think he is different from before?"

Qin Yong turned over and thought about it: "It's better to say that there are some similarities than saying that there are differences. Uncle Huo used to be a hooligan, often fighting and making trouble, and the scar on his face was caused by fighting with others and being cut by others. He used to live next door to my house, and my mother was very afraid of him. He always teased me when he saw me, but I wasn’t so afraid of him. He used to say dirty words all the time, and he was crazy and laughed at every turn. I really didn’t see him just now Recognized, just like the scar on his face. It feels like he has changed."

"Do you know anyone else in that group?"

Qin Yong thought for a while, then shook his head: "They are so dirty, even if they knew each other before, they can't recognize them now."

You Xinnian and Fu Yuanyi have their own thoughts.

The sun was setting and the night was falling. Qin Yong, who came to find his mother, ran all the way, lying on the top of the cold windy mountain, and even slept soundly.You Xinnian and Fu Yuanyi saw that it was getting late, so they quietly sneaked into the night.

Yu Xi and Lin Qiong followed behind them, drifting silently through the night forest, gradually approaching the distant bonfire.

Fu Yuanyi asked Yuxi and Linqiong to go and see who lit the bonfire first. Yuxi and Linqiong came back and said, "My God, there are at least a hundred old men and women singing and dancing over the bonfire. Swallowing swords, breathing fire, and crushing boulders in the chest! The whole acrobatic troupe!"

You Xin said "Huh?" and said, "What the hell!"

"Go and see for yourself!"

They approached the bonfire along the woods, just as Yucheng said, those old people who had no flesh, bones, eyes, and soul during the day completely changed their appearance after night fell. They sang and laughed around the bonfire, lined up The queues were dancing weird dances, taking off their shirts to reveal their loose muscles, the dancing sticks were so lively, and the laughter resounded through the sky.

You Xinnian and the others were dumbfounded - what is this for?

Something even weirder happened in the next second.

The old people were clamoring and clamoring, and suddenly their bodies slowly floated up, and their feet were higher off the ground, gradually moving away from the campfire.Under the moonlight, their intoxicated expressions remained the same. I don’t know if they were used to it or didn’t notice it. They slowly changed their postures in the air, gradually forming a belt-like team, and slowly went to a higher place under the leadership of a woman in the front.

You Xinnian tightly clutched Fu Yuanyi's cuffs, watching the scene in front of him like watching a drama.Just when she thought that the group of old people were going to fly to the moon, the leading woman slowly descended and floated in the air, and the old people sat cross-legged around her, facing her and meditating quietly.

Only then did I clearly see the appearance of the leading woman.

She was wearing a weird triangular devil mask, and inside the red brocade robe, the worn armor seemed to be stained with some blood that had dried up.The more You Xinnian looked at the mask, the more familiar it became. He recalled it again and again, and suddenly a flash of lightning flashed in his heart—this devil mask is not a real devil, but it is [-]% similar to the underworld policeman when he enforced the law.

The woman had withered and yellow hair, and was carrying a rusty black painting halberd on her back, chanting loudly.When she said something, the old people hummed along.The humming sound became more and more frequent, and the sound was like singing.

You Xinian finally found the Uncle Huo whom he had seen during the day in the crowd. Uncle Huo's eyes were closed, he was covered in sweat, and the corners of his mouth kept opening and closing, as if trying to echo the singing, with a weird smile on his lips, but in the next second Two streaks of black blood trickled down from his nostrils.

Clouds of black air floated up from the old people's heads, slowly separated from their bodies, and gathered towards the ghost-faced woman.The ghost-masked woman took a deep breath, actually sucking all the black air into the mask.

You Xinnian said in a low voice, "Why do those old people have a ghostly aura?"

Fu Yuanyi said: "That's not ghost energy, it's their souls."

"Soul? Isn't the soul pink?"

Fu Yuanyi smiled lightly: "Your is pink, others are black."

You Xinian hurriedly avoided the topic: "...So, those people have their souls sucked away? Then who is wearing the mask?"

"The one wearing the mask is obviously not a human being." Lin Qiong said while leaning on Fu Yuanyi's shoulder, "This trick of absorbing souls is left over from my master's play. The more human souls you absorb, the faster you can increase your ghost aura. Then Those who wear masks are clearly ghosts.”

"It's no wonder that these people have strange expressions. It turns out that they were deluded by ghosts." You Xin read.

Yucheng remained silent, looking at the masked woman, all three souls and six souls seemed to be hooked by her.

Lin Qiong patted her on the head: "What are you doing?"

Yucheng was in pain and was about to speak when suddenly the figure of the masked woman disappeared in a flash. Fu Yuanyi's heart tightened. Before he could say "be careful", he heard the loud noise of the wand, the collision of weapons, and the hissing of cutting blades. sound!

The masked girl's movements were as fast as lightning, and she rushed in front of them with only a shake of her figure, and danced at their delicate necks with a halberd.This attack was extremely fast and merciless, You Xinnian didn't see her coming, she just felt a flash in front of her eyes, years of experience in the game made her react quickly, subconsciously raised her sword to block, this block actually put the opponent in the middle The inevitable move was blocked!

The masked woman and You Xinnian were tit for tat, but she had just inhaled the souls of everyone, and her strength clearly gained the upper hand.You Xinian saw the rotten painting halberd slowly cutting through the Italian long sword she bought for tens of thousands of yuan, he yelled and swung her painting halberd aside.The masked woman turned around and was about to slash again, but the tip of Fu Yuanyi's umbrella stabbed from You Xinnian's shoulder, hitting her chest armor.Hearing a "boom", the masked woman took a few steps back, and Fu Yuanyi's arms were numb from the shock.

The armor looked broken, but it was extremely hard!

The masked female general danced her halberd behind her, and she no longer attacked easily, but laughed sharply.The laughter attracted the old people in groups. The old people who were still in good spirits just now were like bloodless corpses, with protruding eyeballs and teeth turned outward. Hearing the call of the masked woman, they quickly leaned over.

"You...you wander around our village during the day, why don't you leave?" Uncle Huo walked out from the crowd, pointed at them and shouted, "I've given you a chance and you don't cherish it, now don't blame us for being merciless !"

When Uncle Huo called out, those half-dead old men ran towards them with great momentum!

Lin Qiong's eyes sharpened, and a gust of ghostly wind came, blowing dozens of people away!

"Where did the little devil come from, dare to act presumptuously in front of this king!" Although Lin Qiong hadn't recovered her ghostly aura, the last thing she saw was a little devil who was unruly in front of her.She held her breath and rushed forward, attacking the masked woman.After Fu Yuanyi didn't say a word, after Feisan followed Linqiong, he fought fiercely with the masked girl.

The old people were blown down and injured, but they didn't care, got up and rushed forward.Although the sword in You Xinian's hand was cut open, to be honest, she would not pay attention to the fact that there were twice as many old people.You Xinnian didn't want to hurt their lives, he just hit the back of their heads with the hilt of his sword until they fainted.

At this moment, Qin Yong rushed over, holding on to his legs. Seeing the chaos in front of him, a little girl was beaten by a group of bad old men, how could this work!A man's blood boiled in his chest, and he was about to be a hero to save the beauty, when he suddenly saw a familiar face in the crowd!It was too late to show off the heroism, Qin Yong shouted hoarsely and cryingly: "Mom—"

You Xinnian heard his shout, turned his head and saw that it was Aunt Wu!

Aunt Wu held a thick branch in her hand and was about to chop it down. You Xinnian pushed away the old man beside her, turned sideways to avoid Aunt Wu's attack, grabbed her clothes and shouted: "Aunt Wu! You Wake up!"

Aunt Wu's eyes were dim, she was pulling her clothes like a lifeless puppet, the weight of her whole body fell on You Xinnian's lift, but You Xinnian didn't feel the weight, Aunt Wu clearly just A handful of bones remained.

The masked woman couldn't resist the joint attack of Linqiong and Fu Yuanyi, she suddenly turned around and slashed at You Xinnian.You Xinnian was so focused on Aunt Wu that she didn't notice that the masked woman was approaching menacingly. Fu Yuanyi and Linqiong shouted at the same time: "Be careful!"

When You Xinnian turned her head, the painting halberd had landed on her head!

In the blink of an eye, Yucheng, who had been standing by the side in a daze, suddenly shouted: "Stop!"

The masked woman slashed off with a halberd, but nothing happened, and the painted halberd disappeared.Looking back, the lifeless painting halberd actually flew into Yu Che's hand by itself, and Yu Che held the painting halberd in one hand, which fit perfectly.

Everyone looked at Yucheng speechless, but Yucheng couldn't hear a sound, she was sweating and crying, her heart was beating like thunder.
