Chapter 47 The Underworld Pig Face (7)

The house was originally a civil structure, and there were a lot of straw in the house. It was too easy to start a fire.

However, before the doctor and I started the fire, the snake demon suddenly let out a howl, the sound was so sharp that it hurt people's ears and heart, and the next second, the snake demon swayed again.

But this time, it didn't swing towards us, but towards Madman Liu in the corner.

Caught off guard, Crazy Liu was caught by it directly. I don't know what the snake demon wanted to do. It grabbed Crazy Liu, turned a snake face sideways, bared its teeth suddenly at us, and followed the snake tail You moved, and in an instant he took Crazy Liu out of the house with the earthen wall, and there was no movement at all.

But at this moment, the doctor and I are still trying to catch fire.

The snake demon came and went quickly, the whole process took only two or three minutes, but the doctor and I were already in cold sweat.

It stopped moving in a blink of an eye, and Crazy Liu disappeared without a trace. The doctor and I realized that it was not good. The pregnant woman was kidnapped by the snake demon, and there is still good fruit to eat?
At this moment, I thought of the bridges in folklore, such as monsters cutting pregnant women to eat children and so on.

I couldn't help but hissed, anxious and afraid in my heart: "What should we do now? Let's... chase?"

In fact, I also know that this is unreliable, just me and the doctor, even if we catch up with the snake demon, so what?Could it be possible to fight with the snake demon?But just watching Crazy Liu being kidnapped by that monster in front of our eyes, but we are helpless, this feeling is really uncomfortable.

The doctor reacted quickly. He took a deep breath, looked inside the house, quickly extinguished the bonfire in the house, and then threw the clothes that had been stacked up in random groups in a corner, and said to me: : "Let's leave here first and pretend we haven't been here. I didn't expect that thing to come into the village. We have to go to Brother Wei to discuss it."

Walking all the way back, my mind is full of that half-human, half-snake voice, just like it is engraved in my brain.

"Jin Le, tell me, are there really monsters in this world?"

The doctor pursed his lips, and said: "There have always been rumors about mountain ghosts and ghosts. I didn't believe it before, but I saw that thing just now..." While speaking, the doctor shook his head, and then suddenly thought: "Maybe that Not a monster, but an ancient humanoid species? Yes, it is possible, this may be an ancient species, not necessarily a monster."

Obviously, he is trying to save his own world view, but the ancient species is just his speculation, and the half-human half-snake is what we have seen with our own eyes. Which one is more trustworthy?

I still believe what I see with my own eyes.

I hurried back to Wei Laolai's house, the doctor and I stayed up most of the night, either the snake demon or the kidnapped lunatic Liu was in our minds.Although Crazy Liu has nothing to do with us, and we didn't mean not to save her on purpose, but in the final analysis, it's a matter of one dead body and two dead, if we really don't care about it at all, that's not the psychological quality that ordinary people can have.

After sleeping on the bed for a while, I felt itchy and scratched, and I caught a small bug.The doctor took a photo with a lighter, took a closer look, and said, "It's lice."

My scalp was numb for a while. I don't know if it was a psychological effect. I just felt itchy all over my body. I just wanted to leave this ghost place at dawn.

It is estimated that Wei Laolai should have picked the herbs tomorrow.

Dazed until dawn, Wei Laolai went out to collect herbs early in the morning, guessing that we had eaten too much; Xiaoyou rushed to the well to wash his hair when he knew there were lice.

The doctor and I stopped Brother Wei, went into the house, and explained what happened last night in detail. After hearing this, Brother Wei moved his eyes slightly, and said in a hoarse voice, "Into the village? Seriously?"

I'm in a hurry, can we talk nonsense about this kind of thing?Brother Wei then frowned, thought for a moment, and suddenly said, "Which direction did the snake demon go?"

The doctor said: "It left from the roof, we didn't see it."

Brother Wei then said: "People can't be chased back."

I said: "That's a pregnant woman. I think the snake demon is afraid of fire. Maybe we can organize more people and bring some oil. If we meet it by then, it should be enough to deal with it."

The doctor took a look at me and said that my idea is good, but it is impossible to organize people, because the people in this place are too superstitious to dare to mess with that monster, and the missing person is a madman whom no one likes to see. Who would take the risk to save her?
Furthermore, when we went to organize the staff, people asked, why did we show up at Madman Liu's house in the middle of the night? How can this be explained?

After a while, Xiaoyou finished washing her hair, and when she heard our conversation, she was filled with righteous indignation: "She is pitiful enough, and now she is pregnant again, we can't leave her alone, how about... just the four of us?"

Just the four of us?This is not enough to see, right?The speed of the snake demon is very fast. Once it is found, there should be more people watching it, right?
The doctor pondered for a moment, and then said, "Why don't you go over there first and see if there are any clues left by the snake demon, and then discuss whether to save people." Go east.

Unexpectedly, when we arrived at the place, we found that the place was already surrounded by many people. The two people who were teased by me and the doctor last night were surrounded by a group of people, and seemed to be talking about something.

I just heard the short man swear to the sky: "...a hanged ghost, it's absolutely true, and he's all red."

Another dark-skinned man was talking to a gray-haired man in his fifties. As soon as we got closer, we heard the man in his fifties scolding him sharply. The dark-skinned man was scolded like a grandson.

Brother Wei explained in a low voice: "He is the current patriarch of the Wei family." In such a place where the emperor is far away from the mountains, family laws and family laws are much more powerful than laws.

The patriarch was constantly reprimanding the two people from last night, to the effect that they shouldn't come out in the middle of the night and disturb the ghosts and gods.

The surrounding group consisted of men and women, old and young, all worried. They were all discussing that there were many gods worshiped in the village, and everything had been safe and sound. Why did ghosts suddenly start happening?They were arguing again about whether Madman Liu ran out by himself, or was he killed by the hanged ghost?

The arrival of the four of us attracted the attention of the people around us. They looked at us one after another, and their expressions were not very welcoming. Especially when they saw Brother Wei, their dissatisfaction became even heavier. The contempt and disgust in their eyes made me look My heart burst into flames.

In this world, there are really all kinds of people, even if you are not a good person, how dare you look down on others?
