Chapter 165
"This is a story from many years ago. If you are willing to listen to it, I can also tell it to you, Auntie."

While walking to the lake to feed the fish, the woman told them stories.

The story is roughly that in their ancestors' generation, enemies came here to rob the village. After those enemies drank the water in the lake, they all died of poison.

But people in the village will be fine if they drink the water from the lake.

So their ancestors believed that it was the protection gods in the lake who were protecting them.

Since then, people in Shuangping Village have stopped eating fish from the lake.

After throwing all the fish food into the lake, the woman stood up and said with a smile: "But these are all legends in the past, and we don't know if it's true or not, but the water in this lake is not poisonous, so you don't have to worry. "

Chu Jinsui curiously asked about monsters: "Auntie, we heard that there are very ferocious beasts here on the way here, is it true?"

She looks like a little girl who just went out and is interested in everything.

The woman shook her head: "I don't know, but there are many mountains around here, there must be wild animals."

Fang Qingya then asked: "Will it be dangerous? Have you ever encountered a scary beast?"

"I haven't encountered it before." The woman replied, "But other people have encountered it. It should be wild wolves or tigers on the mountain. But such beasts generally don't come to the village, don't worry."

The people in Shuangping Village were very hospitable, and the woman invited them to rest.

Fang Qingya declined her offer and found a small inn instead.

in the room.

Chengfeng twisted his ears: "What are you talking about? We are maids? You're so courageous!"

Fang Qingya shrank her neck and broke free: "Oh, I gave my identity when I was away from home. Who told you to speak faster than me, hehe."

Chu Jinsui: "There is also demonic energy in the village, but my previous aunt said that there will be no magical beasts in the village."

"Should we still go to the mountain behind the village?"

Chengfeng let go: "There are other senior brothers and sisters in charge over there, we can read their information then."

Chu Jinsui hummed: "But I still think it's not that simple in this village."

She frowned: "The devilish energy inside is clearly stronger than the outside, but there are no monsters."

Chengfeng immediately understood what she wanted to say: "This shows that the ones in the village are not monsters, but..."

"Magic repair!"

The three spoke in unison and looked at each other.

"Tsk tsk, isn't this a lot of trouble." Fang Qingya said, "The magic cultivator is much more cunning than the monster."

Chu Jinsui thought for a while: "It's not necessarily true. In short, we must first find the source of the devil energy before we can be sure."

"Then what are you waiting for?" Cheng Feng stood up, "Go out for a walk."

……

After a big circle around.

It was getting late, and the roadside vendors all packed up their things and went home.

The three had no choice but to go back to the inn.

Chengfeng held a bunch of bought gadgets and snacks: "This is the only harvest we have today."

Chu Jinsui couldn't figure it out: "It's obvious that there is demonic energy, but I can't find the source. It's really strange."

"We just found a place near here today." Fang Qingya said, "We will go to other streets tomorrow to look around, search all over here, and we will always find it."

As he said, he opened the door: "I'll go back to meditate first, I'm not yet proficient in the newly memorized mental method."

Chengfeng and Chu Jinsui live in the same room.

"Ah!" Chengfeng suddenly called out.

"what happened?"

"Look!"

Chu Jinsui walked over: "What is this?"

There was a slippery pool of liquid on the windowsill.

Chengfeng frowned disgustedly: "It seems to be the trace of a slug crawling past."

"What's going on? Is there such a big slug here? Could it be that the monster here is a slug? Isn't this too disgusting?"

Chu Jinsui didn't want to reach out to touch it, but said, "There is no magic energy on it."

Chengfeng walked out quickly: "I'll ask Xiaoer to clean up."

"Shh-"

Suddenly a black shadow flashed past behind the closed window.

Chu Jinsui didn't care about the liquid on the window sill, quickly opened the window, and looked out the window, only to see a white tail flashing past.

what?
Is that... a white snake?

She was startled, and then looked at the liquid on the windowsill.

This kind of liquid also got on the place where it crawled outside the window.

No, Xiao Hei is also a snake, but its body is always dry and cold.

Why are all the snakes here wet?Could it be that Xiao Hei is really not a snake...

Her mind was suddenly confused for a few seconds.

"What's wrong?" Chengfeng brought Xiao Er back, "Why are you standing here stupidly?"

Xiaoer immediately cleaned the window sill diligently: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I blamed me for not cleaning it before. Don't tell the shopkeeper, or he will deduct my wages again!"

Chu Jinsui asked, "Are there many snakes here?"

Xiao Er threw the rag over his shoulder: "There are snakes, but not many, and they are all in the mountains, and there are none in our village. Are you afraid of snakes? Shall I get you some realgar and sprinkle them at the door? "

Chu Jinsui shook his head: "No need, just asking casually."

Wait until Xiao Er leaves.

Chengfeng asked: "What? It's really the trace left by a monster."

"No." She said, "I don't feel any magic energy, just like a snake."

Chengfeng was also surprised: "Huh? Why do the snakes here look like slugs? It's disgusting."

Although he had already seen the snake that left the imprint, Chu Jinsui still felt a little disobedient.

But if you think about it carefully, you can't find where the sense of disobedience comes from.

She went through the picture she had just seen in her mind again.

Chengfeng was already lying on the bed: "What's wrong? Why are you in a daze?"

Chu Jinsui shook his head: "It's nothing, I just feel a little strange."

"I also find it strange." Chengfeng turned over, "Why are there snakes in the inn? The environment is really bad! Bad review!"

She suddenly said: "Could it be that when I fell asleep at night, the snake crawled over again?"

Chu Jinsui gave her a funny look: "No, you can rest assured to sleep, I will help you watch."

Chengfeng rolled into the quilt with a smile: "I know that Sui Sui is the best!"

After a while, the sound of her even breathing came from the side of the bed.

Chu Jinsui walked to the window and opened it.

Outside the window is the back street of the inn, and several alleys appear in front of you.

They are all stone bricks and bluestone slabs, and snakes are indeed prone to appear in cooler places.

Candles were still burning in the room, and her shadow was reflected on the window sill.

In the next second, a flash of inspiration flashed in her mind.

Looking at her own shadow, she suddenly knew where the sense of disobedience came from.

The snake just now was a bit "fat" compared with other snakes.

It's not that its limbs are thick, but it's like an elongated humanoid dough.

Short, fat, big at the front and small at the back.

Compared with the uniform body of other snakes, its body can be said to be the "five short statures" among snakes.
