After hearing this, I probably already had a guess in my mind.
Judging from what Wang Xiuzhi said, I guess she must have encountered some kind of monster at that time.
And he is also an unruly monster.
"Then did you see that man again later?"
Thinking of this, I asked Wang Xiuzhi again.
"No."
Wang Xiuzhi shook his head and said: "But I heard from the sisters in the village before that they also saw a man on the Yinshan Mountain, and some sisters later went to the Yinshan Mountain to pick mushrooms specifically for this purpose."
"Did you go to find that wild man under the guise of picking mushrooms? It's so shameless."
When Laixi heard this, he was so angry that he started to curse.
"Why are you so cruel? I didn't go there to pick mushrooms again."
Wang Xiuzhi said with aggrieved face.
"Okay, you see your wife is good enough and doesn't go to the Yinshan Mountains to pick mushrooms like the women in the village, so you can be satisfied."
I glanced at Laixi and said.
"This...I..."
Laixi opened his mouth, with a very unconvinced expression on his face, but he couldn't tell the reason for a while, and in the end he could only sigh helplessly.
"By the way, Mr. Li, that man shouldn't be human, right?"
Laixi finally reacted at this time and quickly shifted her attention from the wife cuckolding her to the man.
"Definitely not human."
I nodded and said in a deep voice: "That thing should be a monster, and judging from the monster your wife gave birth to, it is probably a snake demon or something."
"Snake demon?"
When Laixi and Wang Xiuzhi heard this, their faces suddenly turned pale.
Ordinary people like them are still very afraid of things like monsters. It can almost be described as being frightened by the news.
However, in the peaceful and prosperous times in the past, monsters only existed in legends. I think many people may not encounter them once in their lives.
But now that the righteous energy in the world is weakening and the evil energy is gradually becoming stronger, under this situation, it is estimated that many demons and ghosts will begin to appear.
"Then... what should we do, Mr. Li? This monster won't come to the village to harm people, right? Will it eat people or something?"
Laixi quickly looked at me and asked with some fear.
"Eating people shouldn't be a problem."
I shook my head and frowned: "But this thing is a disaster to the women in the village. I will go to Yinshan tomorrow to see if I can find this thing."
"Can this... monster be subdued?"
Laixi looked at me worriedly.
"Don't worry, I've dealt with the monsters before, so there shouldn't be any big problems."
I said confidently.
Although I acted relatively confident, in fact, I didn’t have much confidence in my heart.
After all, according to Wang Xiuzhi, the snake demon can already transform into a human form.
This kind of monster has at least a thousand years of Taoism, and it is also a snake monster. It may not be that easy to deal with.
However, I still have to act more confident in front of Laixi and others, so as not to scare them and cause unnecessary panic.
"Thank you so much, Mr. Li. If it weren't for you, this kind of monster suddenly appeared in the village, we wouldn't know what to do."
Laixi looked at me with gratitude and said.
"It's nothing. Conquering demons and slaying demons is what people like us should do."
I waved my hand and said, "But I still have to remind you that what happened to your wife is simply that she encountered a monster and was deceived by it. You can't blame her. Just like when you go into the mountains to collect firewood, if you encounter a monster, Vixen, I was deceived by it, do you think it’s your fault?”
"I understand Mr. Li, Xiuzhi is not to blame for this. Things like monsters are definitely not something that human beings can contend with."
Laixi nodded quickly and said.
"As long as you know."
I nodded as well, and then came out of the house directly.
By now, even if we have finally figured out the ins and outs of this matter, what we have to face next is a more difficult matter.
After all, to deal with the snake demon, you still have to be well prepared.
And I am also a little worried. Is there any other woman in the village who is pregnant with the snake demon's child?
Although this thing is not a too difficult problem, it is still a very scary thing for the ordinary people in the village.
But this can be put aside first. The most important thing now is to find and get rid of the snake demon as soon as possible to prevent it from harming the women in the village again.
Thinking of this, I stepped forward and took a look at the corpse of the monster on the altar.
Nothing happened to this thing.
So I took out a fire-bending talisman and burned the monster's body to ashes on the spot.
As for the child’s infant spirit, I also asked Liu Yuheng to perform a religious ceremony to liberate it.
By the time all this was taken care of, it was already midnight.
I stood in the yard and looked at the sky above my head. The moon was at its zenith, and the silver-white moonlight was shining down, and the white snow on the roof was coated with a layer of silver light.
It actually adds a bit of coolness to the winter nights.
I quickly returned to the main room and roasted by the stove for a while, and then my body gradually warmed up.
The kang was also very hot. After Liu Yuheng and the others took care of them, we all went to sleep on the kang.
After all, rural people have limited housing. Laixi's parents vacated the main room for us, but the old couple went to the village to live in the house.
Although four people sleeping on a kang makes me somewhat uncomfortable, I am content to sleep on a hot kang in this winter.
It was cold and freezing outside, and the village was dead silent. Only a few barks of dogs occasionally sounded, and then everything became quiet again.
I lay on the bed, staring at the roof with my eyes wide open, not feeling sleepy at all.
There are dense spider webs on the roof, criss-crossing each other, and occasionally you can see very large spiders with silk threads hanging from the top of your head.
I saw this kind of scene a lot in the countryside when I was a kid, and it seemed like nothing.
But now, looking at the dense spider webs above my head, I suddenly feel goosebumps rising on my body.
It is true that living conditions are getting better and better, and people seem to be becoming more and more hypocritical.
I simply closed my eyes and began to meditate and practice my mental power to sense the cobwebs on the roof and the spiders hidden among the cobwebs.
Before I knew it, it was so bright.
After having breakfast and drinking a can of tea in the morning, I asked Laixi to take us directly to Yinshan Mountain.
