polar demon

Chapter 44

The cold stars are twinkling, and the night wind is blowing.

In the gloomy night, on this hill covered with weeds, an ethereal voice wandered with the night wind.

The voice came from a village.

The village seemed to have been deserted for a long time. Under the moonlight, the collapsed walls revealed a monotonous gray color, which was terribly gloomy.

There was only a gust of cold wind, which made the doors and windows rattle.

It seemed to be an ethereal and gloomy voice, singing a nursery rhyme in a sad tone:

moonless
resentful ghost

quiet road
Wind blowing willow alley

go home
Worship the moon late at night

Flustered

Flustered

don't look, don't look

dead
bloody

The gentle slope presents a deep silhouette in the night, and a leafy pagoda tree seems to stretch its claws wantonly in the night.

The husband's face was ashen, and he sat under the locust tree.

The smell of alcohol on his body was still strong, but he was clearly sober.It's just that those eyes are still lifeless, and there are fear and self-blame in the depths.

And the wife is still crying and scolding:

"Tell you not to drink! Tell you not to drink! You just don't listen! If something happens to Xiaolong, I will die, and you will die too!"

When the husband heard this, he tightened his hair with his ten fingers.Everything is my own fault!
Originally, it was a happy thing for the family to visit relatives, but I was too greedy and drank too much, which made it late to go home.

If only in this way, the family can rush home before nightfall.

But he was drunk and staggered when he walked.It was already dark before they came here.

Alcohol made him dizzy, and he sat under a tree for a while while his wife went to the grass for convenience.

As a result, after such a short while, his son Xiaolong disappeared.

Now there is no shop in front of the village or behind the village. On this hill, the couple searched and shouted for a long time, but their son still disappeared.

The wife cried more sadly and scolded more fiercely:

"Why don't you die! You are the one who deserves to be damned! You are the one who caused Xiaolong to be lost. If he went to that place and made troubles, you might as well go there and die!"

The husband naturally knew "that place". On the other side of the hill, there was a fierce land.

Those who enter it by mistake after nightfall will surely die.

The government has erected monuments around the area to warn them, but people still die there every year.

And Xiaolong disappeared around here
The husband felt as if his heart had been cut by a knife. He wiped away his tears and said:
"Go back to the manor and ask for help. I will stay here and continue to look for my son."

The wife became even angrier when she heard this. She stretched out her hand and scratched her husband's face several times, leaving streaks of blood on his face.

The husband bowed his head, neither making a sound nor avoiding it.

After venting, the wife held her chest in pain and walked down the hill while crying.

The wife's figure gradually disappeared into the night, but the husband was still sitting quietly in place.

The night wind made her husband's hair and beard flutter, and his whole body was depressed, which would soon reach a critical point.

His wife's words before she left seemed to be still in his ears: Why don't you die!The damn person is you!

"Yeah. Damn me, I'm the one who should be damned!"

The husband raised his head, his eyes were red like a wounded beast.

"No one is allowed to hurt my son, not even monsters! I want you to die!"

He grabbed a sharp stone from the ground and walked towards the fierce place.

"Son, dad is here to save you! Don't be afraid, dad is here!"

Da Da's horseshoes are extraordinarily bright in the night.

Jiang Yuan rode a fast horse overnight and finally arrived outside the manor.

During the day, he looked through the files and checked the unsolved supernatural cases in Yangcheng over the years, hoping to use this to improve his own strength.

After screening, he chose Chashan, which is half a day's journey away from the east of Yangcheng.

That place started to be haunted four years ago. At the worst time, the entire village was killed overnight.

The county government sent people to investigate, and the night guards also went to investigate.As a result, not only did not find out the cause, but also killed and injured a lot.

In the end, a monument can only be erected near the haunted area as a warning to prevent uninformed people from entering by mistake.

The results of the county government's investigation are all recorded, but there is not much of value.

The night watchman's investigation results may be more detailed, but Jiang Yuan does not have permission to view them.

After leaving Fei Qingquan's banquet, Jiang Yuan took a fast horse from the county government and drove non-stop for several hours before finally arriving here.

Residents here make a living by planting tea trees, and the largest nearby manor is here.

Jiang Yuan got off his horse, came to the vermilion gate, and slapped the knocker vigorously:

"Is anyone there? Open the door!"

There was a sound in the manor that could be heard through the door, and there was a lot of movement.

Soon, someone asked sharply from inside the door:

"Who is coming?"

Jiang Yuan kicked the door twice and replied loudly:
"Officials handle the case! Open the door quickly!"

There was silence inside the gate for a while, followed by a "squeak", and the gate was finally opened wide.

Jiang Yuan was able to see clearly that the house was brightly lit, lanterns were hung high, torches were raised in all directions, and a group of young men held steel forks and sticks, pointing at Jiang Yuan one after another.

The leader was a middle-aged man with the appearance of a goatee businessman. He shrank behind the young man and asked Jiang Yuan:

"Are you a human or a ghost?"

Jiang Yuan stepped into the door and said angrily:

"Are you blind? Didn't see it. Huh, Boss Cai?"

Only then did he realize that the middle-aged businessman himself knew him.

After leaving the Heshen Temple, it was this Boss Cai who was going to Yangcheng to deliver tea in the convoy, so he took a ride.

Boss Cai took a closer look and said doubtfully:
"Are you Brother Jiang?"

Jiang Yuan laughed and said:

"I didn't expect to meet Boss Cai here. Could this be your manor?"

"That's right, that's right," Boss Cai replied while looking at the uniform on Jiang Yuan's body, "This is the headhunter uniform, brother Jiang."

Jiang Yuan replied:
"Thanks to the love of all the adults in Yangcheng, I also made a headhunter."

Boss Cai exclaimed when he heard this:
"Ah! You are the new captor Jiang Yuan?!"

Following Boss Cai's exclamation, all the young adults were startled, and took a step back.

Everyone secretly looked at Jiang Yuan curiously and in awe, and whispered at the same time:
"This is the new captor Jiang Yuan? He looks so young, like a frail scholar, is it really as scary as the rumors?"

"You can't judge by appearance! This new head catcher is ruthless! As soon as he took office, he killed Yangcheng with blood flowing into rivers. Today, I heard that hundreds of members of the Dahe Gang were killed!"

"It's not only ruthless, but also disrespectful. Not only did Di Xudong, the leader of the Dahe Gang, never offend him, he even gave him a house and a beautiful woman. As a result, he was approached by this new head arrester the next day. Beat to death!"

"I've also heard that no one dares to give him presents now, because they are afraid of ending up like Di Xudong."

"It's spread all over the world first. Now he is not only known as the number one master in Yangcheng, but also the number one murderer in Yangcheng! He is greedy for money, lustful, and bloodthirsty!"

Now Jiang Yuan's six senses are extremely sensitive, even though people keep their voices down, he can still hear clearly.

He couldn't help being extremely depressed. At the banquet a few hours ago, didn't Zhou Cunjian say that the people of Yangcheng were rushing to praise his merits?Why now it seems that this is not the case
At this moment, Boss Cai shouted at a group of young men:
"What are you doing? Put all the guys away, this is the government's servant, do you want to be caught in prison?"

A group of young and strong trembled with fright, and hastily left the knives, guns and sticks in their hands on the ground.

Boss Cai came forward from behind the young man, with a flattering smile on his face:
"Jiang Baotou came here at night, I don't know what case he is handling, do you need my help?"

Jiang Yuan didn't answer, but pointed to the group of young men and asked:

"Boss Cai, you guys are so armed and vigilant late at night, you can't be doing some shady business?"

When Boss Cai and the gang of young adults heard this, their faces turned pale with fright.

If the new head catcher really mistook them for illegal activities, it would be a wrong that fell from the sky.

Immediately Boss Cai hurriedly said to Jiang Yuan:
"Jiang Butou, the county magistrate Cai Xingcai is my cousin. I have been taught by Mr. Cai all the time, so how dare I do things that violate the law and discipline? These young men are tea pickers invited by me. During the tea-picking season, I temporarily live in a humble house, but they are all peaceful people!"

Speaking of this, Boss Cai's face was filled with fear:
"As for why we are like frightened birds, it is because something bad happened in the mansion"

At this time, only a young man said:
"That's not bad luck! It's a matter of human life!"

When Boss Cai heard this, his face was annoyed, and he turned around and scolded:

"You bastards! The life of the mother and child is life, but our life is not life? I have already said that we should drive the mother and child out, and they will die if they die. You have to protect them, in case of death What about more people? Let’s take a look at it first, if it doesn’t work, it may even implicate Jiang Butou, will you be able to bear it by then?”

The young and strong man showed his stubbornness. He turned to face Jiang Yuan, and then knelt down on the ground with a plop:

"Also ask Jiang Butou to make the decision for us!"

In an instant, the rest of the young and strong also knelt down one after another:
"Let Jiang Butou be the master!"

Seeing this, Boss Cai stomped his feet angrily:

"You. You"

Jiang Yuan asked helplessly:
"What's the matter?"

Boss Cai can only answer:

"It's Jiang Butou like this. The person who had the accident was a tea picker invited from my manor. The husband and wife were working and brought a child with them. Today the family went to visit relatives, and at night, the women and children came back But the boy lost it. The most important thing is that the kid has ghost prints on his body!"

"Ghost handprint?" Jiang Yuan didn't expect to encounter such a thing here.

Boss Cai was extremely annoyed at this time:

"Jiang Butou, don't you say that this is entering my house to harm people? I wanted to drive the mother and son out on the spot! But these mud-legged people just wanted to keep them, and made my house heavily guarded as if they were going to make trouble. Jiang Butou almost misunderstood."

As soon as Jiang Yuan's eyes lit up, ghost handprints appeared, and ghosts would appear soon.

He immediately said loudly to the group of young men:

"Don't worry, everyone, I will definitely make decisions for you! Now take me to see that kid!"

A group of young and strong people were overjoyed when they heard the words, they stood up and parted ways, thanking them constantly.

Jiang Yuan immediately walked towards the depths of the yard, and at the same time asked Boss Cai:

"By the way, there is a haunted place near here, and the government even erected a monument. Does Boss Cai know?"

"I know, I know!" Boss Cai said, "It's just to the south, and it's less than an hour's journey from us."

Jiang Yuan's footsteps stopped suddenly:
"One hour. Oops, time is running out! I have to go!"

Immediately, Jiang Yuan turned around and was about to leave.

Now it is almost Yin time, and it will be the eve of dawn in an hour.If you wait until dawn, then the demons and ghosts in the fierce place will surely hide one after another.

Staying here at this time to deal with that ghost's handprint, then maybe this trip will be in vain.

If you want to explore the fierce place, you have to wait until nightfall.

There are so many things waiting for him to deal with now, how can he afford to waste time.

He came here to quickly improve his strength, not just to kill a ghost and save a child.
