Chapter 12 Qingniu Village

Zhou You stood at the gate of Qingniu Village and watched.

More than 20 houses stand quietly, and I hope that the reflections of these houses will be very long.

But traveling around feels a bit strange.

During this period of time, it should be the time when fires are lit for cooking and every household is filled with smoke.

But looking at it now, there is no smoke rising from the kitchen, let alone any figures, just like a deserted village.

What's more, according to common sense, if the black dog made such a big commotion just now, at least someone should come out to check the situation.

Zhou You narrowed his eyes slightly, led the steed, and walked along the only khaki-colored village road in the middle that was considered a road.

At the end of the walk, he finally heard some human voices.

These voices came from an ancestral hall, and there seemed to be some panic and fear.

"What's going on here?"

"Yu Ming was fine before, why did he die suddenly, and he died so horribly?"

"Could it be that the little boy in the dream killed him?"

As soon as these words came out, the ancestral hall fell into silence again.

But Zhou You raised his eyebrows outside.

He has seen the name Yu Ming before.

This person is the person who went to Qingzhou City to report the case, and the content of the case file is what he said.

Didn't expect him to die as soon as he came
Tie up the horse rope, and walk around into the ancestral hall.

Sure enough, dozens of villagers gathered around the ancestral hall, their faces filled with fear and uneasiness, they kept burning incense and prostrating.

When these villagers saw Zhou You, who was wearing a black robe and a long knife on his waist, they were also stunned.

"you are?"

An old man with a cane came out.

"I'm traveling around with the Demon Exterminator, and I'm here to solve your village's affairs."

Zhou You took out his token.

"Great, Mr. Zhou, we are finally waiting for you!"

The old man was so excited that he didn't doubt Zhou You's identity at all.

No one dared to forge the token of the Demon Division.

When the other villagers heard that Zhou You was coming from the Exorcist, they also surrounded him as if grabbing at straws.

"Master Zhou, you must save us!~"

"I was almost driven crazy by that nightmare!"

"Yes, yes. Just now we found out that there are dead people in the village!"

At this moment, the old man slammed his cane on the ground and shouted, "Enough!"

"Since Master Zhou is here, he will help us solve our troubles, don't bother him there."

This old man should be the head of the village, and he is very prestigious. Once he speaks out, others dare not speak out.

Then Zhou You said calmly: "When I was outside, I heard someone say that Yu Ming was dead. Where is his body?"

"In his house, we also found out that not long after, everyone was so frightened that they ran to the ancestral hall." The village head replied.

"Take me to see." Zhou You looked calm.

Hearing this, the other villagers looked at me and I looked at you. No one dared to lead Zhou You.

In the end, the old village chief snorted coldly and led Zhou You the way himself.

The two came to a wooden house with an open door.

At this time, the sky was gloomy, and there was only a little afterglow left in the west.

"That's right here." The village chief was about to take Zhou You in when he was stopped.

"Alright, village chief, leave the rest to me." Zhou You shook his head, and walked into the wooden house alone.

As soon as he entered the house, a thick and disgusting bloody smell came oncoming.

Zhou You narrowed his eyes slightly, and walked to the inner room.

A mangled corpse appeared on the bed, bleeding all over the floor.

The dead body looked as if it had been bitten by some wild beast, it was horrible, its face was covered with claw marks, but its eyes were wide open, as if it had seen something terrible.

Since Yu Ming died so miserably, it's no wonder that the villagers were so frightened that they didn't even have the guts to lead the way.

If it was Zhou You from the previous life who saw this scene, he would have been scared to death.

But now he is mixed with the original memory of traveling around this world. In the training camp, he has seen more bloody scenes than this, and there are not too many waves on his face.

However, Zhou You frowned quickly.

He felt something was wrong.

He pondered for a while, then took Yu Ming's arm, and put his palm on the claw marks on his face.

Perfect fit!

Continue to compare the other claw marks on the body, and the result is the same.

In other words, Yu Ming should have been possessed by shift or lost his mind, and caught himself alive.

But judging from the terrified expression on the corpse's face, Yu Ming was probably awake at that time.

He knew what he was doing, but he lost the ability to control his body, he couldn't even make a scream, he could only watch his hands grab him to death!

When the brain made up the picture at that time, even Zhou You felt his scalp tingling for a while.

This way is too cruel.

Zhou You sighed helplessly, and when he walked out of the wooden house, it was completely dark.

Tonight's moonlight is also covered by large dark clouds, and the sky is gloomy.

Everyone in Qingniu Village stayed in the ancestral hall and dared not come out, not a single house was lit with candles, it was like a dark ghost.

"Master Zhou, what's the matter?"

The old village head had been guarding outside the house, and when he saw Zhou You coming out, he hurriedly asked.

"I don't have any clue yet." Zhou You shook his head.

He told Yu Ming's cause of death, fearing that it would cause more panic, so he didn't say anything at all.

"Then what to do with this corpse?" The old village chief sighed.

"Burn it," Zhou You said lightly.

"Okay, I'll make arrangements tomorrow." The village head replied.

When the two returned to the ancestral hall, they were inevitably questioned by many villagers, but they were directly blocked by the village chief.

"Master Zhou will continue to investigate what is going on with this matter. He will stay in the village tonight. If you have nothing to do, please go home quickly."

The words of the village chief will not be used here.

When people encounter danger, they will subconsciously huddle together to keep warm, which is their nature.

Thinking of Yu Ming's death, these villagers shuddered. In addition, they were tortured by the terrible nightmare these days, and their emotions were almost on the verge of collapse.

Now let them go back home, no matter what.

The village chief was also helpless, so he could only let them stay in the ancestral hall for one night.

In order to reassure them, Zhou You also sat in a corner beside him.

The village head is also an old man, so he came over. "Master Zhou, what else do you want to ask?"

"Then who is Yu Ming from your village?" Zhou You asked softly.

He had seen several paintings in Yu Ming's house.

These decorative paintings are naturally a normal thing in Fucheng, but in a small village, it seems a bit weird.
