Their family and several other families occupied such a large village and lived a happy life for more than a year.
At the beginning, there were only a few people, so there were no disputes or fighting. The families were even very harmonious, and they all shared their needs. From time to time, they visited other people's houses, as if they were family members.
It can be said that this place was a paradise from the beginning. Even if several families came one after another later, the houses, land and resources were enough. They even gave out a lot of pigs, cattle, sheep and chickens to the new families.
Everyone lives together in peace and harmony in this paradise-like place. At the end of the year, we can actually save a large house of food!
At this time, this village and town already had fifteen households, and about fifty residents including the elderly and children.
So everyone elected the strongest Lu Meng to be the village chief. If everyone had anything to do, they would come back to him for help.
As a soul-level warlock, everyone's problems are usually easily solved, so he doesn't mind helping everyone.
Until one summer of the second year, many strangers suddenly appeared in the village and town from all directions.
At first everyone thought they were fleeing from other places, but when they took a closer look, they didn't even bring any luggage. Instead, they were neatly dressed, walked calmly, and didn't answer any questions. They just showed weird smiles.
Soon, the first person who came into contact with those "people" suffered a serious fate. The face of a monster immediately became ferocious and terrifying. Like a ghost in a fantasy novel, it jumped on the villager and ate most of his body. .
The scene was so horrific and bloody that it still makes Lu Mengcheng feel nauseous when he thinks about it now. He occasionally still dreams about it when he has nightmares at night.
Some people scolded and some condemned, but when all the villagers were eaten clean, no one said anything. All those who could run ran back to their homes and closed the doors and windows.
Those monsters did not run to chase them, but walked behind them as if playing a game. They walked to the door or window of their house, knocked on the door or window, and used various methods to seduce the villagers. Open the door or window.
Moreover, they did not smash doors or windows, nor did they use any violent means to destroy doors or windows. They just said hello and seduced.
If someone didn't know it and accidentally opened it, it would be a disaster, and the whole family would die tragically from the monster's mouth.
That night, everyone hid in the house shivering and did not dare to go out. It was not until the sun rose the next day that the monsters retreated, and no one knew where they went.
Lu Mengcheng and others went to the victim's house. After seeing the blood and unspeakable scenes in the house, they all ran out and vomited. They couldn't help but vomit. It was too scary and disgusting...
Everyone sorted out the corpses and buried them, and then Lu Mengcheng took the lead in searching other places in the village and town.
I searched everywhere in empty houses, cellars, breeding houses, and outside villages and towns, but couldn't find where those monsters came from.
What's even more frightening is that those monsters didn't leave any footprints at all, so there was no way to follow the footprints to find them.
But they were relieved that day, because they thought the monsters were just passing by and left after dawn.
After all, in this world with warlocks and frequent occurrences of strange things, anything is possible. Although everyone is sad and afraid, the past is the past.
However, those monsters came again that night, and the people who had no doors or windows immediately suffered disaster, and the scene was the same as before.
Lu Mengcheng once boldly left his house on the eve of the sun rising, planning to fight those monsters. As a result, his attacks were ineffective against those monsters. Even if they blasted a hole in their bodies, they could recover quickly.
He relied on the flexibility of a warlock to run around and avoid, and finally waited until dawn.
When the sun rose, he seemed to see those monsters showing him a strange and penetrating smile, and then disappeared directly under the sun without a trace.
In this way, the atmosphere in the village and town changed. Although everyone was still willing to help each other, they no longer dared to go out at night. Every household closed its doors and windows for fear of a sudden intrusion by monsters.
In this way, after a few years, the population of the village continued to increase.
Except for those who fled here, there were basically people like Pei Mengqing who strayed into villages and towns and never got out again.
After experiments, Lu Mengcheng and others found that they could not leave the village and town. Anyone who tried to leave would run in circles, and no matter what method they tried, it would not work.
As a result, more and more people are living here. Most of them are just making a living, and they are satisfied if they can survive.
Up to now, Lu Mengcheng's family has been here for ten years, and the population size has changed from the original small village to the current village, and Lu Mengcheng has also changed from the village chief to the mayor. There is also a middle-level spiritual soul level. Warlock is the deputy mayor.
The two are responsible for guiding newcomers who enter here by mistake, telling them the rules here, and letting them choose vacant houses to live in, and allocate food and land.
It's just that those monsters appear every night all year round, and from time to time someone forgets to close the door or window, or is seduced by the monster and opens the door, causing tragedy for the whole family.
After listening to the story here, Pei Mengqing always felt a little familiar, as if it was very similar to an American TV series she had watched before.
It's just that the monsters here disappeared out of thin air, and they were not modern, but ancient. At the same time, there were no talismans in that drama. Just closing the doors and windows could keep the monsters out.
However, Juju and Xiaori were very addicted to it and thought it was very scary.
But when Pei Mengqing thought about it, she remembered something...
"Orange Bureau, Xiaori, don't you feel a little familiar?"
"Familiar? Let me think about it..." Ju Ju shook his tail and thought.
It actually shocked the couple, Lu Mengcheng and Zhao Haiyue.
It turned out that these two cats were speaking in human language.
The two cute children were excited and jumped around trying to catch two big oranges, but they were not tall enough to reach them.
Lu Mengcheng gave each of his children a chestnut and tapped them on their foreheads:
"Don't be naughty. Those two are our greatest allies as humans. As a family of cats, you must know how to respect them."
The two children were a little aggrieved, but Lu Mengcheng disciplined them very well. They didn't cry or make trouble, but their expressions were a little aggrieved. After sitting down, they still looked at the two big oranges curiously - it would not work if they were disciplined more harshly. There was an incident before. The family and the children at home did not know the seriousness of the matter, and were seduced by a monster and opened the window, which ultimately led to a tragedy for the family...
Xiaori was a little helpless, but after hearing Pei Mengqing's words, she still thought of something:
"You mean, the touch of shadow? But that thing doesn't seem to have such a boundary, and it doesn't have the ability to make people unable to find the boundary or get out, right?"
Pei Mengqing shook her head: "Not necessarily. You must know that this is the junction of Jiangxia County and Runan County."
