"Then what do you mean?" Zhou Jiaonan looked at me nervously.
"Master told me some stories about drought demons back then. When I saw the situation in the village, the first thing I thought of was drought demons." I said seriously.
"Then what?" Heizi, who was always eloquent, was nervous and in a daze.
"Because I was not sure, that's why I asked Mudan to tell the story. It seems that Hanbao's magical power cannot be her." I put away the seriousness on my face and suddenly laughed.
"I'll kill you..." Heizi said and was about to pounce.
"Masters, you can eat now..." There was a knock on the door and his cousin's voice came.
"Gulu..." Just then Heizi's stomach growled.
"I'll take care of you after dinner..." Heizi said harshly and pushed the door open.
"You don't want to scare people like this." Zhou Jiaonan also stood up and glared at me.
"Eat first, eat first, I'm hungry too." I quickly got up and ran out.
There was a lot of meat and fish on the dinner table. Because his cousin knew our identities, he dared not accept any more cigarettes and alcohol that Heizi brought from the car.
"Then just drink it." Heizi was always a bully, so he opened the wine.
But this guy thought something was wrong, so he quickly turned to look at me, and the three women also looked at me.
This made his cousin and his cousin-in-law nervous.
"Drink." I smiled and handed over the cup.
His cousin and his sister-in-law relaxed when they saw me smiling.
"A glass of wine will relieve a thousand worries?" I asked with a smile as I clinked glasses with Heizi.
"Dream, one code equals one code." Heizi said and drank it all in one gulp.
I shook my head with a wry smile, picked up the dishes and started eating, but my mind was not at the dinner table.
"It shouldn't be difficult to deal with, don't worry too much." Peony saw that I was distracted and whispered.
"Cousin, have there been any deaths in the village recently?" I suddenly said, startling everyone.
"No, no..." The meat in his cousin's mouth fell to the ground.
"Really?" I frowned.
"Yes, two people died last month." Only then did his cousin come back to his senses.
"It's okay, let's eat." I said and picked up the bowl and chopsticks.
It's sad that when I made such a fuss, everyone was still in the mood to eat. They all stopped and looked at me.
"I'll go check out the grave tomorrow. It's all right. Let's go ahead and eat. Come on, let's drink." Seeing this, I had no choice but to laugh and raise my glass.
But the atmosphere has been heightened by me, and the rest of us are okay. His cousin and cousin carrying the bowl to eat were painful, as if they were taking poison.
"Cousin, don't worry, we are here." Heizi dragged his cousin to drink.
After a few glasses of wine, his cousin started talking more, and the two of them had a great time chatting.
I was in a bad mood and had no appetite, so I ate something briefly and then got up and left.
The three girls also wanted to get up, but I raised my hand to stop them, and finally Peony followed.
"Don't think about it, go back to eat." Peony came over and grabbed me.
"I'm full, you can eat." I said and started to walk out of the hospital.
"It's so late, don't go out. I can basically guess what it is." Peony held me back again.
"What is it?" I stopped and looked at Peony in surprise.
"It should be something like a dry corpse." Mudan said, touching her chin.
"Is it great?" I became a little nervous.
This is called Drought Corpse. I am afraid that I am related to Drought Demon and will suffer a lot. I am not as stupid as before.
"You think it's complicated. The deaths in the village happened last month, which means this thing is harmless." Mudan said.
"What if this thing happened to kill me?" I was still a little worried.
"If that's the case, his cousin will definitely tell me. Don't think about it. We'll find out tomorrow if we go and have a look." Mudan said, dragging me towards the dining room.
When I sat down again, his cousin was so drunk that he could hardly keep his eyes open.
"Masters, please take it easy. I helped him to rest." His cousin-in-law stood up with a smile.
"For the sake of good wine and good food, I won't argue with you." His cousin left, and Heizi raised his glass and turned to me.
"Don't think about it, drink some wine and have a good sleep." The three women also consoled her.
"Okay." I nodded vigorously and raised my glass.
I couldn't sleep well that night, my mind was filled with the ancient myths told by Peony.
It is indeed true that a newborn calf is not afraid of tigers, but that is when it is just born.
I encountered so many things along the way, and these evil spirits were all things I had never encountered before. I escaped from death again and again, and it was inevitable that I would become a little nervous.
I got up before dawn. I couldn't sleep anyway, so I went out for a run.
When I returned to his cousin's house, there were already people outside the courtyard wall.
"What's going on?" I asked in a deep voice, standing behind the crowd.
"Master? Why are you outside?" Everyone turned to look at me with surprise on their faces. It was the village chief who spoke.
"I got up early and exercised," I said with a smile.
"Everyone didn't sleep well last night. After hearing about your deeds, everyone admired you so much that they wanted to see your true face, so I brought everyone here. I originally wanted to wait for you to go out, but I didn't expect..." the villager smiled awkwardly. Come up and explain to me.
"Don't worry, everyone, I will definitely take care of things in the village. Let's all go back and rest. Don't run around these days." Looking at the looks in everyone's eyes, I knew clearly that they were afraid that we would run away.
Everyone in the village knew very well, when did his cousin suddenly have two more cousins?
It is estimated that everyone got together last night and felt that something was wrong, so they came here early in the morning.
Seeing everyone standing still, I had no choice but to look at the village chief.
The few people who were with me had seen what I was capable of, and they were so frightened by what I saw that I had to quickly send them away.
But the existence didn't leave in the end, so that's fine. With him here, it's easier to do things.
"Wait for me to change clothes and take us to the grave." I said with a smile and entered the yard of his cousin's house.
The people inside had already heard the movement. As soon as I entered the courtyard and raised my eyes, I met everyone's eyes.
"The village chief is suspicious and seriously ill. Master, please don't take it to heart..." His cousin hurriedly came forward to explain.
"How could he be deceived by that fake Taoist priest if he was seriously ill?" Zhou Jiaonan's face looked a little ugly.
"If you really don't believe it, senior brother, let's leave them alone." Heizi will always be on my side at critical moments, no matter right or wrong.
"It's human nature to clean up and go to the grave first." I smiled and waved my hand, turned around and entered the house.
Everyone is just taking advantage of each other. How can we ignore this kind of thing?
After I got dressed and came out, everyone was standing in the courtyard with their bags on their backs.
"Let's go, the village chief is waiting at the door." I was about to go out, and his cousin stopped me.
"I'll go with you." His cousin said and glanced at his cousin-in-law, who also nodded.
"I know every inch of land and every hill in the village. The village chief is old. If he can't walk anymore, I can still lead the way." Seeing my hesitation, his cousin quickly explained.
"Okay." It seemed that he cared about this village more than anyone else, so I nodded in agreement.
It was no problem to walk with our feet, but when we opened the door, we saw two electric three-wheelers parked outside.
"It's a long journey, so don't burden these experts." The village chief said this, and I couldn't refuse.
However, the graves in this village are indeed a bit far away. When they passed the fake Taoist altar yesterday, everyone was still talking about it.
I thought the village was not big before, but now it seems that I am too narrow-minded. I was afraid that I had to walk twenty or thirty miles before reaching the foot of the mountain.
"You guys wait here while I follow the master to go up the mountain and have a look." The village chief got out of the car and told the two young people.
Naturally, his cousin wanted to follow us and supported the village chief along the way. This mountain road was indeed difficult to walk.
"Village chief, why don't you go back? My cousin will take you with me." This conversation was repeated several times.
Even though everyone should know that this cousin is fake, I just said it smoothly and didn't bother to change it.
"No, I'm the village chief. I won't go. What do the villagers think? It's okay. I'm just old, but I'm not a cripple." The village chief refused every time with similar reasons.
After marching for about two hours, we arrived halfway up the mountain. There was a flat land with many large and small graves.
"Take a breath, I'll go take a look." I put down my backpack and said to the village chief.
"It's a great job for you." The village chief was indeed a little overwhelmed at this moment.
The five of us looked at each other, divided into three groups and went forward to check. There were hundreds of graves in front of us.
