Liaozhai: I just want salted fish with invincible magical powers

Who is the person in front of Chapter 8
Out of the gate to the north, more than 20 people were immediately swallowed by darkness.

Even if you hold a torch in your hand, it can only illuminate a place a foot away, and you can't see it any further.

The road is so narrow that only two people can pass side by side, with knee-length rice growing on both sides.

When the night wind blows, there are rustling noises everywhere, shadows and shadows, I don't know what is hidden in the dark.

"Brother Hu, the dry well is just ahead."

Yang Chengzhi took the lead, holding a torch and striding forward.

However, for Hu Qian, who possesses supernatural powers, there is no need to move forward.

Sure enough, when I got to the dry well, I lit it with a torch, and there was nothing in it except dead branches and weeds.

"Go west! Go to the wild grass forest!"

Yang Chengzhi shouted to the crowd and walked west first.

Although the night was dark, but with the young master of the Yang family and the son of the county magistrate present, no one backed down.

After walking west for about a quarter of an hour, we came to the edge of the weed forest.

The trees in the forest are dark, like standing sculptures, standing there silently.

"call!"

The leaf wind blew past, causing many people to stand upside down.

"follow me!"

Just as Yang Chengzhi opened his mouth, the nine big dogs led by the crowd suddenly barked in unison.

And while screaming, he stepped back, as if seeing something terrifying.

Yang Chengzhi's heart trembled, and the steps he took were fixed there, and he could no longer take a step forward.

The big dog barked fiercely and backed away with great strength, and the person holding the rope was led back again and again.

The Yang brothers couldn't stand it anymore.

"Brother Hu, or come back tomorrow."

Hu Qian said, "How far are those two wells?"

"It's not far away, one is to the south, half a mile away, and the other is to the west, four miles away."

"Well, you give me the torch, and I'll go and have a look myself."

"How about that!"

Yang Chengzhi and Yang Chengxin looked at each other, gritted their teeth and said, "Okay, I will give up my life to accompany the gentleman!"

After speaking, he turned to the crowd behind and said: "Those who dare to follow in will get a penny per person when they turn back."

Many people obviously hesitated, and some shook their heads and refused to go.

Yang Chengxin said: "These dogs seem to be unwilling to go in. You lead them and wait here. If we haven't come out after half an hour, you go back and report."

When the rest of the people heard it, they all had a bit of a bad look on their faces.

Is this talking about dogs, or is it cursing people?

Fifteen people entered the wild grass forest, and when the flames shone, countless shadows appeared on the trees in the forest.

As the crowd moved forward, the shadows kept moving, like a group of demons dancing wildly.

Yang Chengzhi and Yang Chengxin didn't talk much at first, but at this moment they both talked to Hu Qian intentionally or unintentionally, as if to embolden them.

"Brother Hu is very talented, why didn't he get a degree?"

Hu Qian said: "Brother Yu has never passed the hospital test before, my brother's words really make me ashamed."

"I heard from Sister Yuzhen that the eldest brother is only a weak crown. Who can say for sure what will happen in the future."

"Yes, big brother is so good at judging cases, maybe he can be a pusher."

Several people chatted and laughed, and the previous fear was slightly reduced.

After a while, I arrived at the dry well in the south.

The result is still nothing.

Although it was heard that Hu Qian had solved the Hongshuihe case in two days, everyone was still skeptical, and some even believed that he was purely a mistake.

Seeing that he asserted that Yang Shiying's body was in the dry well, but he couldn't find it in two places, he couldn't help being even more skeptical.

But due to his status, no one will say more.

The dry well in the west is the farthest. Fortunately, the brothers of the Yang family knew the way, and there were no accidents during the process, so they arrived smoothly.

Before getting close, Hu Qian opened the secluded passage, followed by a joy.

With this supernatural power, it was the first time for him to see some abnormalities.

There seemed to be a cloud of cold air hanging over the dry well, and there was another vague figure in the cold air.

The figure was not big, only the size of a child, and it was spinning around in the cold at the moment.

"There really is a corpse down there!"

Yang Chengzhi couldn't see this, but he just took a light with a torch, and was immediately surprised and delighted.

"I'll go down and tie him with a rope, and you pull him up!"

As he spoke, he used his hands and feet together, and moved down bit by bit.

Fortunately, it was a dry well, only one zhang deep, so he quickly reached the bottom, lit it with a torch, and immediately shouted: "It's the third uncle! It's really the third uncle!"

Everyone was horrified, and the eyes they looked at Hu Qian became much more respectful.

After a while, everyone worked together to pull Yang Shiying up.

I saw that his whole body was stiff, there were obvious strangle marks on his neck, his eyes were turned up, and the tip of his tongue slightly protruded from his teeth.

Even if Hu Qian was not a cooperator, it can be concluded that he was strangled to death.

"Uncle Three!"

Yang Chengzhi and Yang Chengxin burst into tears, and then wiped away their tears.

"The third uncle was indeed killed! Brother Hu, what should we do now?"

"Take the person back and talk about it."

So the Yang brothers held the left and right arms, and the other two lifted their legs, and walked slowly outside the forest.

However, as they walked, everyone suddenly realized that they seemed to be spinning in circles.

Hu Qian said: "What's the matter, it didn't seem so far when I came here."

It was the Yang brothers who led the way when they came in, but now the two of them are carrying the corpse in the middle, and the one who leads the way is replaced by the Yang family's servants.

Hearing Hu Qian's words, Yang Chengzhi said, "Xiao Liu, how did you lead the way!"

A man in front said: "I'm not leading the way!" Then he pointed forward, "Isn't he leading the way?"

Before setting off, among the 27 people were servants of the Yang family and farmers in the village. The road in the forest was narrow and the fire was weak. Xiao Liu didn't pay attention to who the person in the front was.

Yang Chengzhi squinted his eyes and looked forward, "Who is that? Is it Yang Erdan?"

A person behind said: "Master, I'm behind."

Yang Cheng said heartily: "If you just ask, you will know, the leader in front, come and talk!"

However, he yelled twice in succession, and the person in the front stood still, as if he hadn't heard it at all.

Although the road was narrow and the team was stretched long and thin, it was only ten meters away, and Yang Chengxin's voice was so loud that the person in front must have heard it.

What is this...

Yang Chengzhi's heart skipped a beat, and he immediately counted the number of people back and forth.

one……

two……

Thirteen……

fourteen……

fifteen……

sixteen!

There were only fifteen people coming in before, but now there are sixteen!
Come out with one more person!

This extra person...

who is it!

The person in front was still standing there motionless.

His posture is a little weird.

Even if ordinary people are really motionless, they cannot completely remain motionless. There will always be some changes in the head, hands, feet or legs.

But the person in the front is really like a stone statue, or like a dead man standing there.

Hu Qian also realized that something was wrong.

However, he was about to open the secluded tunnel to see, when suddenly there was a strange wind in the forest, which made people feel cold all over, and when everyone was trembling, the torch in his hand flickered twice...

Went out……
