Chapter 126 The Old Village Chief Is Dead

The reason why Niu Er said that the Dragon King would not let them go out was because the snake woman once said that the Dragon King is in charge of the world's waters.

Hualong Village has been favored by the Dragon King for generations, so it can live in peace for hundreds of years.

In return, they must also serve the Dragon King and offer incense to the Dragon King.

"Shuangsheng has become a white-armored food officer under the Dragon King's command. Because we have offended the Dragon King, we let the old man punish him. I am afraid that we can only leave Hualong Village if we atone for our sins!" The old man in the village wailed.

In the minds of the villagers, Shuangsheng became a white armor grain official under the command of the Dragon King, and all this was the Dragon King's will.

After saying this, all the women and children present cried out, their spirits completely broken down by the fear of death.

"What did we do wrong, why did you treat us like this!" The villagers knelt on the ground and cried loudly.

Knowing that they couldn't get out, everyone could only hold back their panic and returned to the village one after another dejectedly.

This time, there was no luck in everyone's hearts, because they knew that the Dragon King would not let them leave Hualong Village.

Recently, the villagers offended Shuangsheng again, and Shuangsheng wanted to punish the villagers.

On this day, everyone's mood was no longer irritable, and there was only endless despair and dead silence. Everyone's eyes were no longer alive, and they looked extremely numb.

After returning to the village, everyone found that all the lively dogs in the family had died, and their deaths were very strange, as if they had been sucked dry of blood, and none of them survived.

After discovering this scene, no one expressed a look of surprise. The fear of the past two days has already made them numb.

Just a few dead dogs, nothing more.

But Granny Liu felt very scared, because every time the two saints came, there would be a dog barking, but now, the dog barking has disappeared, does that mean something terrible is about to happen?
"Oh!" Grandma Liu sighed, and returned home with mixed feelings.

That night, although there was no dog barking, Grandma Liu still couldn't sleep. In the past two days, she had gotten used to sleeping during the day and not sleeping at night.

The next day she got up early, wanting to see what happened in the village, but as soon as she got to the door, someone knocked on her door.

The person who knocked on the door looked very frightened. Just as Grandma Liu was about to say something, the villager said in panic, "The old village chief is dead!"

"what!"

Granny Liu's face instantly turned pale with fright.

She never thought that the old village head, who seemed to her to be almost omnipotent, would die suddenly!

Granny Liu followed the man to the village head's house. As soon as she arrived, she was so scared that she couldn't help taking a few steps back.

Many people gathered at the old village head's house, but Grandma Liu still saw the old village head through the crowd.

Because the old village chief was hanged at the door of his house, his body was cut many times with a knife, black blood was scattered all over the ground, and the whole yard was filled with a disgusting smell of blood.

None of the people present spoke, and all of them stared at the village chief who was hanged on the door of his house, and the dead silence in his eyes began to be dominated by a wave of hysterical fear.

"The old village chief is also dead. We can't go on like this. Over the years, we have been so devout to the Shuangsheng and the Dragon King. Why does it treat us like this and say it is grateful? Is it so grateful?"

"That's right, they are repaying kindness with grievances. We can't let this continue. Tonight, we will all spend the night in the ancestral hall and see what Shuangsheng and the others are going to do!" Some villagers said aggrieved and angrily.

This person's proposal was also echoed by most of the people present. There were only a few of him and his family, although being together could not turn the situation around.

But at the very least, when there are many people, they can be courageous and take care of each other. Thinking of this, everyone starts to cheer up.

In the end, they all agreed that everyone would go to the ancestral hall to spend the night, and Granny Liu naturally agreed to go with them. After all, if everyone in the village died, it would be my turn.

Although she had lived a very hard life, she didn't have that much fear of death itself, but that didn't mean she wasn't afraid of the process of death.

Grandma Liu returned home to catch up on sleep, and then went to the ancestral hall with her wife at four or five o'clock. This time, because even women and children came to the ancestral hall, the originally huge ancestral hall was full of people.

But after counting the number of people in the end, there were still five or six villagers in the village who did not come to the ancestral hall, probably because they were afraid that doing so would completely offend the two saints.

As night fell, someone lit an oil lamp, and the dim light made everyone present feel a little eerie and uneasy.

It was almost [-] o'clock in the evening, and some villagers couldn't help yawning, but they were stopped immediately by the people around them.

Granny Liu, on the other hand, watched the scene in front of her with trepidation, and the fear in her heart began to grow like a towering tree, and an unprecedented uneasiness slowly grew in her heart.

She always felt that things would not be so simple, and that the Shuang Sheng could not deal with it so easily.

With the passage of time, more and more people began to be unable to bear the drowsiness, but the panic in their hearts made them dare not close their eyes and go to sleep, so they could only cheer up.

The drowsiness continued, but Granny Liu, who was always awake in the crowd, tightly held the old pocket watch in her hand.

Watching the pointer moving forward little by little in agony, when it was almost twelve o'clock, her heart beat.

According to the past practice, twelve o'clock is a critical point. Usually, the dogs in the village will bark, but today those dogs are all dead and no one hears them.

That doesn't mean nothing happened.

The death of the old village chief and those people made Grandma Liu feel extremely terrified.

Sure enough, the moment the second hand reached twelve o'clock, a sharp woman's laughter came from outside the room. As soon as the laughter sounded, everyone looked in that direction in horror.

The timid children and women were frightened by this laughter and cried out loud.

Soon there was a smell of urine in the ancestral hall.

Someone was so scared that he pissed out.

Grandma Liu took a deep breath, shivering and forced herself to cheer up. At this moment, someone said, "It's in the direction of Shuangsheng Temple."

"The Shuang Sheng came back to life, and it came to us?" A woman screamed tremblingly.

More and more people were afraid to speak, and the scene became extremely noisy.

At a certain moment, someone knocked on the gate of the ancestral hall, and there was a bang, which was extremely crisp, and the villagers present all looked at each other in horror.

"Who's outside?" Someone with a pale face shouted tremblingly towards the door.

At this moment, the same sharp laughter came from outside the ancestral hall, but this time, the laughter was clearer.

The thing that made the laugh came from the door.
