Since the few of them crossed the river, they have been heading north in the mist and entered Xiaoli Village from the south of the village.

The coffin shop and the wedding venue are located at the entrance of the village in the south, while the yard of the village chief’s house is located in the north of the village, next to the clan hall.

The coordinates of the north and the south are all there. Out of this consideration, when Li Guoqiang and Yuan Linlin were preparing to go out to explore the terrain, they chose the pagoda tree in the center of the village as the center point, and explored to the east and west respectively.

When they passed by just now, they discovered that there was a large open space in the center of Xiaoli Village, and an extremely lush old pagoda tree was planted in the open space.

The old locust tree has lived for an unknown number of years, its bark is rough, and its body is thick enough for several people to hug. The branches and leaves extending from the top of the head are layered on top of each other, like a dark green cloud, covering half of the village.

No matter where you stand in any corner of Xiaoli Village, you can see the layered and impenetrable tree crowns as soon as you look up, which is hard to ignore.

It seems that the roots of the Li family, like this old locust tree, have already been deeply rooted in the land under their feet.

After late at night, those houses with white paper lanterns in front of their doors turned off the lights and did not go out again, which greatly facilitated the actions of Li Guoqiang and Yuan Linlin.

The two arrived at the center of the village in the dark, only to find that a well had been dug next to the old locust tree.

The well looks as old as the locust tree, and there is a well platform surrounded by blue stones. The stone well platform is covered with moss, and the well mouth is sealed by a heavy wooden cover.

Curious, Yuan Linlin carefully removed the heavy manhole cover, and looked towards the mouth of the well, but saw that it was dark and steep below, and he couldn't see anything clearly.

She sniffled, and seemed to be able to smell a stale damp breath rising from the bottom of the well.

She picked up another stone and threw it down, lying on the edge of the well and listening. After a long while, she heard the sound of the stone falling into the water.

It seems that this ancient well is really deep!

But why dig a well next to the locust tree, isn't it afraid that the roots extending from the ground will damage the well wall?

Yuan Linlin shook his head, suppressed the doubts in his heart for the time being, and continued with his task, and separated from Li Guoqiang under the old locust tree.

She is in charge of scouting the west side of the village.

Xiaoli Village is located in a mountain depression, and the scale of the village is not too large.After Yuan Linlin groped west for several hundred meters in the dark, he was blocked by a steep mountain wall and could no longer move forward.

Because he was afraid that the light at night would disturb others, Yuan Linlin didn't turn on the lighting equipment he carried with him. He just wore a pair of low-light night vision goggles and looked around vigilantly.

Through the lens of the night vision device, all objects in front of the eyes have a green perspective, which is slightly intrusive.

Yuan Linlin Bing was not willing to give up, but moved down the terrain along the mountain wall.

After walking for a while, from the perspective of the night vision device, dense graves and tombstones suddenly appeared on the wasteland.

Yuan Linlin understood.

It turned out that she had reached the northwest corner of the village, and further north was the courtyard and ancestral hall of the village chief's house.

After such a big circle, she turned around again, and in front of her was the clan cemetery in Xiaoli Village.

She memorized the layout of the route she had traveled before, and then walked carefully into the cemetery, ready to make a thorough investigation.

Under the effect of the night vision device, everything revealed a strange green color.

Green graves, green tombstones, green weeds...

Wait, weed?

Yuan Linlin paused for a moment, then suddenly looked down at his feet.

The thick layer of weeds at her feet has reached her ankles, and it grows in a mess. The roots of the grass blades are tough and thick, and they will catch her insteps from time to time, making it easy for people to fall. , also made the road very difficult to walk.

She looked hesitantly at the weeds on the ground.

Before going deep into the cemetery, did these weeds... grow so lush?

She saw from a distance just now that the weeds here are obviously only a shallow layer!

Moreover, this is the clan cemetery of the Li family. Judging from the cleanliness of the tombstones, the villagers of Xiaoli Village must have cleaned it up frequently. How could it be possible for weeds to grow wildly on the graves of their ancestors?

Just when she was hesitating, a whisper suddenly sounded in her ear.

"She's a woman..."

"She's not from Xiaoli Village..."

The voice of the conversation was so weak that it could hardly be heard, but in this dead and silent cemetery, it was caught by the vigilant Yuan Linlin in an instant.

She turned her head abruptly, staring at the direction from which the conversation sounded.

There was no one there, just like the surrounding area, there was only a piece of lifeless tomb.

But those whispers, as thin as mosquitoes, never stopped, but became more and more clear.

"...can she see it?"

"...she can't see...it's dark..."

"...Her surname is not Li..."

"...not the Li family."

"...is a woman..."

"...hehe, woman..."

The weird conversation became more and more unscrupulous, and at some point, the weeds around Yuan Linlin's feet were also growing wildly, covering her knees in the blink of an eye.

Facing the infiltrating scene in front of him, if the person standing here was an ordinary person, his hands and feet would have been paralyzed from fright, and he would have fled here screaming.

But although Yuan Linlin looked serious, he didn't show any tendency to panic.

She lowered her head and took a deep breath. Instead, she unwrapped a piece of gum and stuffed it into her mouth. Then, while chewing the gum, she looked around vigilantly.

When people are extremely nervous and anxious, chewing through the oral muscles can moderately relieve negative emotions and concentrate more effectively.In the army, chewing gum is also one of the necessary items for snipers to complete their tasks.

She probably has never seen a woman chewing gum as if nothing had happened in such a situation, and the whispers that had been whispering in her ears stopped for a moment, as if she was stunned.

Taking advantage of the moment when his ears were clean and his mind was not disturbed, Yuan Linlin analyzed the situation in front of him and immediately made a decision to retreat.

Entering this cemetery rashly is not a safe choice.

It's just that she just took a step to leave, but when she raised her leg, she staggered and almost fell to the ground.

Something was wrapping around her ankle, trying to trip her.

Yuan Linlin looked back angrily, but was shocked to find that those wildly growing weeds were entangled with her legs and feet one by one at this moment, as if they were alive, clung to her tightly to prevent her from leaving.

The weeds continued to grow and entangled upwards, wrapping around Yuan Linlin's calf in the blink of an eye.

She tried to pull out the legs, but the weeds got too tangled.She also tried to cut off the grass stems with a knife, but the weeds were so flexible that they were very difficult to cut.

Yuan Linlin couldn't help frowning, immediately threw the useless blade aside, and took out a portable military micro-cutter from the backpack behind his back.

At this moment, those grass stalks were like withered claws growing beside the tomb, and they were swaying even in the absence of wind. With a strong force, they dragged her to the ground forcefully.

Seeing Yuan Linlin fell to the ground, the weeds grabbed her calves and dragged her to the nearest grave.

In the darkness, those titters from unknown sources were tinged with a bit of crazy pride.

"...is a foreign woman..."

"woman……"

"Leave her!"

"Leave her!!!"

Yuan Linlin narrowed his eyes, trying not to let those noisy voices disturb his emotions, and silently activated the micro-cutter in his hand.

The sharp blade turned quietly at high speed, leaving only a deadly afterimage.

She slashed at the layers of weeds without hesitation. The blades of grass that had been cut by knives before were easily chopped into pieces in the bright cold light. No matter how tough the grass stems were, it was difficult to resist the sharpness.

The broken leaves of the weeds around him floated up one after another, and Yuan Linlin also took advantage of this to turn over and stand up again, holding a cutter, slashing the entangled grass stems, and quickly ran to the edge of the cemetery.

But the weeds beside the tomb grew wildly again, and became longer and longer, twisting into black shadows under the night. Looking from a distance, it seemed that there were black tides rising in the cemetery.

Right now, these "dark tides" began to rush towards Yuan Linlin, wave after wave, frantically trying to drag her away.

Even a few times, the wildly growing weeds had already clung to her body, almost tearing off the night vision goggles she was wearing, almost making her blind in the dark.

The area of ​​the cemetery is not that big, but it is impossible to escape. Facing the crazily attacking and endless weeds, Yuan Linlin became a little impatient.

No matter how sharp the cutter in hand is, the waving arm will eventually get tired.

And those whispers that have been whispering in her ears are getting more and more disgusting.

"...a woman...is a woman...leave her, stay...woman, woman, woman, woman..."

Fuck him!What are these things!You are dead, what kind of monster are you still doing!You can't fill a mind full of weeds with anything other than women, right? !

Yuan Linlin, who had endured a lot, finally became furious when faced with an inevitable crisis.

She gave up mowing the grass with a cutter, and took out a simple folding flamethrower from her backpack.

Hot flames gushed out.

The raging weeds were picked up by the ferocious flames, and immediately withered down, and began to retreat crazily.

In her ears, it seemed that she heard a shrill and painful scream, and there were no more disgusting whispers.

But Yuan Linlin showed no mercy and continued to use the flamethrower in his hand.

Countless weeds were reduced to ashes in an instant, and like sentient creatures, they all retreated into the ground next to the grave in panic, not daring to stop Yuan Linlin again.

Flames ignited all around, and Yuan Linlin seized the time to put on asbestos clothes while the burning was beeping, walked through the scorching fire wall, and finally walked out of the burning cemetery.

She retreated far enough away, looking at the flames reflecting the red half of the night sky from afar, she couldn't help but frown again.

At the beginning just now, the reason why she chose a quieter cutting machine was to make the movement quieter and prevent others from discovering her actions.

It's a pity that the situation forced her to use the flamethrower in the end, causing a big commotion.

The fire is so obvious in the night that even the blind can see it!I just don't know how the villagers of Xiaoli Village will react after discovering that their haunted ancestral graves have been burned?

This time it's really... a veritable ancestral grave smoking!

Yuan Linlin sighed helplessly, and used the communicator next to his ear to contact Li Guoqiang: "Captain Li, how are you doing in the east? Are you in any danger?"

On the other side of the communicator, there were some noisy sounds.

After a while, Li Guoqiang finally replied: "I found something in the east, and I'm not sure if it's valuable. And I walked quietly along the way, didn't meet other people, and didn't encounter any danger... "

For some reason, his voice sounded a little breathless, as if someone was pinching his neck when he was speaking, forcing him to gasp for breath.

Besides his voice, there was also a vague noise coming from the communicator.

Yuan Linlin couldn't help leaning closer to the communicator, listening quietly.

That noise... like a deep wind, or...

"Captain Li!"

She was startled in horror: "Why is there someone singing by your side?"
