smuggler

Chapter 134

I stared at him vigilantly, and said in a deep voice, "It has nothing to do with you, you don't need to know."

There was another silence, but at this time he had slowly come out from the shadow of the tree. Although he still couldn't see his face clearly, he stretched out his hand, pointed to the puppet next to me and said, "Tell me, the puppet on the ground Is it a puppet, or an old lady?"

Hearing his words, I felt chills behind my back.

Without waiting for him to continue talking, I slowly backed away, wanting to leave this place.

But who would have thought that before I could take a few steps, my feet suddenly softened, and I felt a hand pulling my ankle.

The entire center of gravity was unstable, and he fell to the ground at once, and he was unbiased, falling right next to the puppet's head.

The huge puppet head stared at me, the corner of its mouth was split, as if it was showing an extremely weird smile at me.

What made me feel even more terrified was that there were rustling footsteps behind me, and the man in white behind me had already approached and asked behind me, "You haven't answered me yet, is it a puppet or an old lady on the ground?"

"Are you blind?"

I was a little out of breath, holding the snake talisman tightly in my pocket with one hand.

I was very remorseful and left my cloth bag at Granny Liu's house.

The man in white seemed to laugh, but he didn't do anything, but told me behind his back: "Since what you saw was a puppet, you should burn it."

I looked up suspiciously, not understanding why he said that.

When I turned my head, I saw that although the man in white was standing behind me, his back was still facing me.

"You asked me to burn the puppet?" I frowned.

At this time, I felt that the man in white didn't seem to have any malice towards me.

The man in white turned his back to me and still didn't turn around, but he didn't answer my words, but continued on his own: "This is not the place you should come! I'm telling you a few things now, you must Remember, otherwise, you will never be able to get out of this village."

When the man in white said this, he tilted his head slightly, as if he glanced at me from the corner of his eye, and then said to me in a low voice: "At night, you go out of the village to the river and go north! You will meet To a very short old man, he was a good man, good tempered and patient."

"When you see him, do as he says, and he'll buy you tea, and then you can get out of here."

"In addition, regarding the time here, the time here is not accurate, it is 5 minutes faster than what you see!"

"Finally, there will be monsters coming out of the river at night. They will take on the appearance of people and imitate other people's voices. After twelve o'clock, they may enter the village."

I suddenly thought of the village rule that Grandma Liu told me, don't talk with your back to others, you must turn your back.

Villagers don't like to visit the door. After dark, if someone knocks on the door, don't open the door, and you can't make any response.

Perhaps this village rule is because the man in white said that at night, a monster will come out of the river, they will enter the village, and they will imitate the voices of the villagers.

After the white-clothed man finished speaking, he saw that I hadn’t spoken, so he walked straight towards the woods. After walking a few steps, he seemed to think of something, stopped and turned his back to me and said: “There is no Dragon King Temple on the island, don’t go there. !"

"Hi!" I yelled.

But after finishing speaking, the man in white didn't pause any more, and walked straight into the depths of the woods, disappearing into the dark woods in a blink of an eye.

My nervous heart calmed down slowly, it seemed that it was a false alarm just now.

This mysterious man in white didn't know what to do.

But according to what he said, as long as I burn the puppet, I should be fine.

But Grandma Liu told me that when I found the puppet, I should take it to the Dragon King Temple.

Why are the things they said to me contradicting each other.

Just now the man in white said that there is no Dragon King Temple here, and told me not to go, what does that mean?
How did he know that I was going to the Dragon King Temple! ?
The more I thought about it, the more I felt something was wrong, and I was a little at a loss at this time.

After pondering for a while, I now feel that it is too risky to go to the Dragon King Temple by myself.

This has to be a plan.

When I saw the puppets on the ground, I was a little embarrassed for a while, and I didn't know what to do.

After thinking about it, I decided to choose to believe what the man in white said.

No reason, just a gut feeling.

Because on the contrary, I feel that if the puppet is sent to the Dragon King Temple like this, something bad will happen, and if it is not burned, there will also be troubles.

Then burn the puppet with a fire, and nothing strange should happen.

After making up my mind, I took out the lighter from my pocket, and carefully lit the clothes of the puppet old lady.

It was as if a layer of gasoline had been doused on the puppet. As soon as the flame was ignited, the whole puppet was wrapped in fire with a bang, and a raging flame burned.

But at this moment, the old lady's head suddenly rolled over, and she let out a series of wailing sounds, which was extremely miserable.

I turned my head suddenly and looked down, which made me shudder on the spot.

What kind of puppet is this? It has clearly turned into a living old lady again.

The old lady let out a series of mournful wailing, and was still writhing in the flames. I was so frightened by this scene that I trembled all over.

Not daring to stay here any longer, I took a deep breath, turned around and hurried towards the village.

Although the sky was already dark, fortunately, the road was calm and nothing terrible happened.

After I entered the village, I found something different. The village was chaotic and had no rules.

I am not familiar with this place at all, and entering the village is like falling into a maze.

The night began to cover, and the whole village became silent. The village houses on both sides of the village road were like dead graves, and the silence made people panic.

Although the village is messy and disorderly, it is not a big village, but I can't find the gate of Grandma Liu's house no matter how I go.

Going around on the empty village road, soon, I walked out of the gate of the old man who was singing in a daze.

The door of the old man’s house is still open, and I can’t help but hesitate when I think about what happened not long ago.

Standing at the door and looking inside, one can vaguely see a thin old man sitting on a stool in the main room.

My head was spinning quickly, and after hesitating for a while, I thought about going up to find out how to get there.

Walking into the yard, I yelled, but the old man didn't respond, he just sat on the stool in the main room with his back to me and lowered his head slightly.

At that time, I already felt a little uneasy in my heart. I walked slowly to the door, did not dare to go in, and shouted in a low voice: "Master, I just came here to listen to your music, and you asked me to send the old man who listened to the music with me?" Madame went to the Dragon King Temple, do you still remember?"
