Pseudo master, she just wants to live

Chapter 166 The Village [Two Chapters in One]

"Ah..."

The stern wolf howling accompanied by the howling wind was very scary in the middle of the night.

The bold Yang Gaochong spat on the palm of his hand, "There are wolves to be afraid of. There are so many of us, how many wolves are we afraid of?"

Just as he finished speaking, there was another wolf howl.

Immediately afterwards, within a radius of two or three miles, in all directions, one sound after another, long and smooth, undulating with each other.

Everyone's complexion changed.

"These wolf cubs are calling for their companions! There are really a lot of them!"

As Yang Gao said, he hurriedly ran back and greeted the others, "Quick! Go!"

Fang Yao had already been scooped into the carriage by Fan Chen, who flicked the reins and shouted: "Drive!"

The two war horses flicked their hooves and started to run quickly.

The people behind couldn't care about the inexplicable skull in the snow anymore, they jumped into the carriage one after another, and followed closely along the road that the four-wheeled carriage ran out in front.

Fan Chen's carriage was in the lead, Yang Gao and the four Li families were in the rear.

In the darkness, the sounds of wolves became denser and closer, as if they had formed an invisible circle, enclosing them.

Except for the driver, everyone else was holding long knives and crossbows, squatting at the door of the car, staring at the sides and the front, wary of wolves pouncing from the side.

Fang Yao's palms holding the harpoon were soaked in sweat.

The wolves howling all around continued, as if they had been closely following them.

She squatted down and looked around, but besides the snow, there was still snow in her field of vision.

After about half an hour, the sound of wolves gradually disappeared.

In the distance, a cock crowed.

Ahead, there is a village.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Fang Yao wore a mask and could see clearly that there were several deep ravines on the originally flat snow.

This gully started from the potholes of the fight and extended to the village in the distance.

As the carriage approached the village and was still a mile away, the dogs in the village started barking wildly, barking non-stop. Judging from the number, there seemed to be quite a few.

Fang Yao looked sideways at Fan Chen, and asked him with her eyes: Entering the village?
Fan Chen flicked the reins, and drove the carriage towards the village.

The carriage behind also followed closely.

Before entering the village, all the dogs in the entire village were recruited.

"Who is it! Entering the village in the middle of the night makes people noisy..."

At the entrance of the village, someone has already opened the courtyard door, wearing a sheepskin jacket, shouting angrily.

After seeing clearly that there were several carriages, the voice over there paused, and then raised higher, "Who are you? Where did you come from? What are you doing in our village in the middle of the night?"

Fan Chen jumped out of the car and said: "We came from the capital to look for my uncle. We met a wolf on the road just now. We want to stay in the village for a while and leave after dawn."

Another old woman came out and said hoarsely, "Wolf? How can there be wolves on this official road?"

Fan Chen: "Maybe I can't find food elsewhere..."

The man didn't answer, and after a while he said: "Why are you traveling so late at night, didn't you stay at the post?"

"That place is too dirty. My wife is not used to living there. If it wasn't really helpless, she wouldn't bother everyone."

The man and the old woman glanced at each other, the former hurriedly stepped forward, and said with a warm and flattering smile: "Don't bother, don't bother, as long as Madam is willing to give some coins..."

Before the man finished speaking, Yang Gao, Ah Wu and the others walked over.

The man was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help blurting out: "There are so many of you?"

The old woman also had a look of surprise on her face.

"We escorted my wife all the way here from the capital, so there are naturally more people." Fan Chen opened the curtain and helped Fang Yao out.

With the help of the torch swaying from side to side in the wind, the man saw Fang Yao's face clearly, and was stunned for a moment.

Fang Yao gently raised her eyelids, her beautiful phoenix pupils shone brightly, making the man's eyes straight.

Fan Chen frowned almost invisibly, blocked her calmly, and said with a cold expression: "Don't worry, the accommodation fee will naturally be indispensable to you."

The old woman squeezed the man hard from behind, the latter suddenly recovered from the pain, nodded and bowed his head and said: "Ha, what is this little brother talking about, since he is a guest from afar, what money is he talking about? of……"

As he spoke, he yelled towards the yard next to him: "Third brother! Hurry up, there are guests, clean up your best rooms!"

"Come on, come on, I can't sleep now..."

The windows of the next room soon lit up.

After a while, Fang Yao and the others, a total of 29 people, stayed temporarily in the homes of three families in the village.

Following the man and the old woman into the courtyard, Fang Yao, who was following Fan Chen, quickly surveyed the surrounding environment with his eyes rolling around while being blocked by someone.

She looked at the village from the outside, but the life of the people in this village seemed to be quite affluent. There were several mud houses in the yard, and seven or eight dogs were raised.

As soon as they entered, the dogs wanted to jump and fly towards them.

Fan Chen, who was walking in the front, trembled in fright and hurriedly yelled.

Fang Yao's soul was almost lost by his yelling, seeing that the dog was about to pounce on Fan Chen, the man hurriedly kicked the dog, and shouted: "Get out! Scream again and break your dog's legs! "

The dog tucked its tail in an instant, put its ears behind its head, and ran away screaming "woo woo".

The other dogs also hurriedly retreated and hid in the shadows.

Soon, Fang Yao was led by the old woman into a room alone. There was an earthen kang bed by the window, covered with a woolen mattress, which looked clean and tidy.

"Ma'am, we don't have much room here, so I'm wronging you and my wife." The old woman said, and took out a new quilt from the cabinet, and spread it on the kang.

Fang Yao nodded and said, "Thank you, Ma'am."

She still wanted to see which room Fan Chen and the others lived in, so the old woman closed the wooden door and blew on the oil lamp on the table, and the room was instantly dark.

After about a stick of incense, the village became peaceful again, the dogs stopped barking, and the lights were all turned off.

in a house.

The oil lamp with a weak flame was covered by a wastebasket, making the halo even more dim.

More than a dozen men gathered in the room, and a few women stood beside them.

"His grandma, the short and skinny ones must have gone to the post station to gamble again, so that everyone didn't make any preparations in advance."

"There are quite a few people in this group, there are twenty or thirty of them, why don't you let Ying'er inform Liang Family Village?"

"I'm afraid, these are all idiots, those men even offered to drink water, I put all the cartilage that I got a few days ago into the water!"

"Boss, you waste cartilage powder. That thing is precious. I just went out to look at it. Except for that tall and fat man, no one else is good, especially that little white face with a mustache. The idiot, who was so scared by Heizi that he almost peed on his pants, jumped on that little lady!"

"Hahahahahaha..."

The men let out a series of laughs, and were glared at by the women, their voices then became quieter.

……

The dog outside barked again.

"Damn Heizi, why did you start howling again..." the old woman cursed in a low voice, and stood up unwillingly.

Standing in front of the bed, she tentatively asked, "Ma'am?"

Fang Yao faced the wall and lay on her side inside, without any response.

The old woman yelled again, seeing that Fang Yao still didn't respond, she picked up the kerosene lamp on the table, then tiptoedly opened the door and went out.

At the door, there was a slight click of a lock.

After waiting for a while, Fang Yao opened her eyes, lifted the quilt and sat up on the bed.

She took out the mask from the small bundle under the pillow and slowly put it on her face.

outside the house.

A dog barks louder than a sound.

"Okay, stop calling."

The old woman growled impatiently, and the dog whined in fear, bit her pant leg and shook his head.

She dug out a machete from the pile of firewood in the courtyard and weighed it in her hand. Suddenly, there was a slight sound from the door that had just been locked behind her.

"Why lock the door?"

The old woman paused and realized in her heart that it was the little lady who woke up.

She looked into the several houses next to the yard, which were also locked from the outside, and there was no movement in the houses.

There was a hint of malice in the old woman's eyes, and her voice was hoarse and unpleasant: "You little girl is still pretty. If my son is not happy, I can leave you to give birth to a son and a half daughter. You are already a puddle. Be quiet."

After the old woman finished speaking, she kicked the dog away and walked towards the kitchen.

She lit the firewood and started to boil the water, her eyes flashed with extreme excitement, and she muttered to herself: "There is something delicious again... Tsk tsk... I really miss it..."

Fang Yao stood motionless in the room.

Wearing a mask, she has excellent hearing, so she can hear this sentence clearly.

It was as if a thunderstorm exploded on a sunny day, which shocked her into a daze.

After a while, she slowly took a few steps back and sat back on the bed next to the door.

outside the house.

The dogs in the village barked even louder.

Several men with axes and machetes cursed impatiently.

"Are these dogs crazy or stupid? Why can't they keep barking?"

"Could it be that someone is coming?"

The other man stopped and looked outside the village. It was pitch black, and he said uneasy, "I'll ask Yinger to take a look."

He turned and walked back, suddenly, someone behind him patted him.

"What are you doing—"

With a scream, the dogs in the village barked more and more.

Others in the village were startled and rushed back to have a look.

A headless man lay upright on the snow, his head gone.

"This, this is..."

Everyone just felt their scalps explode!

Suddenly, someone pointed not far away and yelled in horror: "Wolf, wolves..."

I saw outside the village, the eyes with faint green light from far to near, unexpectedly surrounded the whole village!

There are at least a hundred wolves in this bustling place!

"Quick! Go back to the house!"

The men immediately ran away, but within a few steps, countless shadows appeared in the darkness and around the corner!

"No, there are wolves not only outside the village! The village is full of wolves!"

There were screams and howls one after another.

Fang Yao sat in the room, motionless, feeling cold all over.

The smell of blood filled the whole village, and the heart seemed to be numb.

He only repeated in his mind what Fan Chen said to her before entering the village.

——Don't go out of the house, and don't open the door, no matter what happens outside, before dawn.

I do not know how long it has been.

It was finally quiet outside, not even a dog barking, as if nothing had happened.

"Click."

There was a soft unlocking sound outside, and Fang Yao moved her neck, only to realize that her bones and muscles were a little stiff because she maintained one movement for too long.

The door was pushed open, and a gleam of light fell into the room through the darkness.

Fan Chen, who was still wearing a goatee, strode in, and said in a slightly anxious voice, "Are you okay?"

Fang Yao shook her head, stood up while supporting the already cold kang, and asked, "Where are the others?"

"It's all right, let's go."

Fan Chen turned around suddenly while speaking, took out a handkerchief and handed it to her, "Do you want me to help you?"

Fang Yao looked blank, not understanding what he meant.

Fan Chen pursed his lips: "It's bloody outside, if you..."

Fang Yao understood now, and felt weird in her heart, but she still shook her head honestly: "No."

She, a fake master, is afraid of chanting mantras and praying for rain, but she is not afraid of bloody scenes...

It's just that, when I went out of the yard and saw the fragments of limbs and intestines and viscera spilled all over the floor, my stomach still felt a physical discomfort reflexively.

Fan Chen stood in front of her silently, frowned and said, "Why are you so stubborn, woman?"

Fang Yao twitched her brows lightly, but this time she didn't say anything against him, she just asked, "Where are the other people in the village?"

"Yang Gao and the others went to search for them. They were all women and children. I have already reported to the officials. Then Huang Zhi County should send someone over soon. We just need to wait in this village."

Fang Yao looked up suspiciously: "Report to the official? How did you report to the official?"

Fan Chen said indifferently: "Yesterday, the postman from the post station came over and was caught by Yang Gao, so he rode his horse to the county town just now."

"...It turns out that they are really in the same group."

Fang Yao murmured, stopped suddenly, turned around and walked towards the low kitchen beside her.

Outside the kitchen door lay the hostess in the yard, already out of breath.

Fang Yao stepped over the man, raised her hand and gently pushed, but did not push.

From the gap on the side, she saw a wooden bolt as thick as an arm, holding the kitchen door from the inside.

She took a few steps back, then kicked again, and the door panel fell to the ground with a bang.

In the pile of firewood behind the stove, the old woman huddled up and looked at her in horror.

"Here's another one."

Fang Yao cast a cold glance at the old woman, then turned around after speaking.

Just when Yang Gao, Ah Wu and the others were coming, someone rushed in immediately, escorted the old woman out of the house.

"They also raised a night owl who was blind in one eye, what a bloody thief!"

Yang Gao yelled loudly, and Fan Chen suddenly asked, "Where is that night owl?"

Yang Gao pointed to a room behind, Fan Chen turned his head and asked Fang Yao, "Is the red silk ribbon you gave you yesterday still there?"

"here I am."

"Let's go and have a look."

The two walked to the room Yang Gao mentioned, and Li Dazhu was still inside, calling out "Ouch, Ouch" from time to time.

As soon as Fang Yao entered, she saw that there was really an owl in that room, with a thin iron chain tied to its feet, flapping its wings and jumping wildly.

In the next second, her eyes fell on a few silk ribbons hanging on the wall of the room.

Red, blue, and black.
