() Sun Tzu hurriedly said: "Master, you mean that everyone in this village left because they saw those dogs hanging on the tree?"

Chu Huan said: "I can't be completely sure, but there must be some connection."

Ma Zheng frowned and said: "My lord, what kind of person would hang those dog corpses up?" Just as he finished speaking, Sun Zikong said: "Old Ma, do you think people hung up those dog corpses?"

Ma Zheng is not very old, but he is two years older than Sun Zikong, who calls him Lao Ma on weekdays. ..

"Didn't someone hang it up?" Ma Zhengqi asked.

Sun Tzukong smiled bitterly and said: "Look at the branch, even a dog hanging on it seems to be unable to support it, let alone it can support a person. If a person hangs it, just climb up a little bit. Adding up the weight of the tree, the branch will definitely break immediately, you see, the tree is not short, if I were to fall from such a high ground, I would surely die."

Chu Huan said: "It wasn't someone who hung it up, what do you think it could be hung on?"

Sun Zikong shuddered, hesitated for a moment, and finally whispered: "I'm afraid... it's a ghost." As soon as he said that, Ma Zheng and Liu Suifeng also changed color slightly, and couldn't help but look out of the window Look, Sun Zikong himself felt a chill rising from his body. In this deserted village, everything is quiet. That is not tranquility, but dead silence.

Chu Huan frowned and said, "Don't talk nonsense." Leaning against the base of the wall, he said, "Eat some dry food first, and then rest early." ..

At this moment, Chu Huan frowned, picked up the water bag suddenly, and poured the water in the bag onto the fire. Everyone was surprised, Chu Huan had already poured out the fire in two or three times, and Sun Zikong couldn't help it. Said: "Master, what's the matter?"

"Someone is coming." Chu Huan said in a deep voice, "There are horseshoes, listen."

Sun Zikong and the others held their breath. Soon, they faintly heard a rush of horseshoes coming from the south of the village. The sound became clearer and clearer as it approached from far away.

Sun Zikong and the others immediately admired Chu Huan even more in their hearts. Chu Huan seemed to be talking to them, but he never let down his vigilance. , It is indeed not comparable to ordinary people.

"Where are the horses?" Chu Huan asked in a low voice.

"Behind the house." Sun Tzukong said in a low voice, "There are two big trees and a pile of firewood. We will tie the horses there."

"Be careful." Chu Huan lowered his voice, remained silent for a while, and finally said, "There is only one person."

Sun Zikong was still a little nervous at first, but he was relieved when he heard that there was only one person from Chu Huan. There were four people on his side, and only one person on the other side.

Chu Huan walked over to the window. The house they chose was facing the entrance of the village. It was for the convenience of observation. Through the window, they faintly saw a fast horse from the village head galloping into the village. , the surroundings suddenly returned to dead silence, Sun Zikong and others all clenched the handle of the knife, motionless, and waited and watched.

In just a moment, the horse under the man's crotch began to move forward again, walking very slowly, as if he was also observing the scene in the village. He walked past Chu Huan's room, wearing a bamboo hat and a cloak, and for a while I can't even see the face of this person.

Chu Huan knew in his heart that although this person was also a passer-by, he had already seen that the village was dead and quiet, but he still dared to come to this spooky village. It can be seen that his courage is really not small. People are bold, and to have such courage, they must have some means under their hands.

Sun Zikong and the others didn't dare to act rashly without Chu Huan's order. They watched the man pass by the house, and the few people remained silent. Soon Chu Huan saw the man stop in front of a house diagonally opposite , got off the horse, then tied the horse to the fence in front of the house, and then entered the dark house.

At this time, the distance was far away, and Sun Zikong touched Chu Huan's side, and said softly: "Master, this man is very courageous, what is his background?"

Chu Huan didn't look at him, thought for a while, and then said, "Wait a moment, let's sneak over and see where this person comes from." Thinking of the strangeness of this dead and silent village, the other party suddenly appeared here in the middle of the night, It is not known whether this person was involved in this matter.

I thought that the other party would light the fire soon, but waited and waited, the room was as dark as ink, Sun Zikong couldn't bear it, and lowered his voice: "Master, let's touch it now, the four of us, Could it be that he is alone?"

Chu Huan thought that this is not unreasonable, there are still several hours before dawn, and there is no one who can come, so he has to go on like this, hold the handle of the knife tightly, and do not come out from the front door, leading the The three of them arrived at the back door and went out quietly. Fortunately, the horses seemed to be a little tired and rested lazily without making a sound. Touch it.

Chu Huan didn't know the details of that person, and he didn't separate them all. Two groups approached from both sides of the room. He and Sun Tzu were in an empty group, approached slowly from the left, and touched the door, only to see the door closed. He leaned closer and listened inside, but there was no movement in the room, but Sun Zikong had stretched out two fingers, pressed on the door, and pressed hard, but who knew that the door was not locked. There was a slight "creak" sound, and Sun Zikong hurriedly withdrew his hands, but at this moment, he heard a "bang", and Sun Zikong immediately heard Chu Huan's shout: "Be careful!" His body felt Being pulled vigorously, has already been pulled aside.

Sun Zikong saw in astonishment that a door of the house had already flown out. The loud noise just now was obviously caused by the person inside who noticed the movement and kicked the door. If he hadn't been torn open in time, the door would definitely be closed. If it hit him, at least he would suffer some minor injuries.

After Chu Huan pulled Sun Zikong past him, he felt a shadow rushing out of the room. It was extremely fast, and rushed towards him. A long object, which seemed to be a weapon, slammed down towards Chu Huan from the air. Chu Huan didn't know the opponent's details, so he couldn't use heavy hands. In the meantime, Chu Huan felt that his tiger's mouth was shaking slightly, and the opponent's strength was really not small.

At this moment, he had already seen the opponent's weapon clearly. In fact, the opponent's weapon hadn't been revealed yet, but was wrapped in rough hemp, and the weapon was in the thick hemp.

Seeing this scene, Chu Huan kicked his feet, jumped back, opened the distance, and said in a deep voice, "It's not the enemy, don't do it!"

The man was about to follow, but when he heard Chu Huan's voice, he stopped abruptly. He was only four or five steps away from Chu Huan. Also dare not do it.

"It's you?" The other party was the first to make a sound of surprise.

Chu Huan withdrew the knife and said, "It turned out to be Xiongtai, what a misunderstanding."

At this moment, Chu Huan could tell that the other party was the gray-robed man who had appeared in Yun Dali's inn a few days ago. He was wearing a gray robe that day, but today he was wearing a bamboo hat and a big cloak.

The man slightly lifted the bamboo hat, and in the darkness, the masked face was revealed. In this dead and deserted village, it was quite frightening.

"Who are you?" After pondering for a moment, the person finally said coldly: "Why is this village like this?"

Chu Huan shook his head and sighed: "It doesn't matter who we are, we should not be your enemy. If this village is like this, this is a question we really want to know?"

"Oh?" The man said with a sneer, "In such a huge village, there are no chickens, dogs or people. You are the only ones staying here. Does it have nothing to do with you?"

Chu Huan put the knife back into its sheath, and said, "We just arrived a moment earlier than your Excellency. But I can understand your question. If we arrived a little later and saw that you were the only one in the whole village, I think I might ask the same question." problem." He looked up at the sky, there was no moon tonight, the sky and the earth were dark, and then he said: "It's already very late, don't disturb me any more." Turning around, he was about to leave.

"This is the third place!" Chu Huan suddenly said strangely before he took a few steps.

Chu Huan stopped, turned his head, frowned and asked, "What did you say?"

"This is the third village like this." The man said slowly, "I have seen two villages like this before, and the situation is almost the same. There is no one in the whole village."

Chu Huan frowned even tighter, "Your Excellency means that the same thing happened in other villages."

The man nodded, "And these three villages all have the same situation. They are located in quite remote places and are far from the urban area. As far as this village is concerned, it has a radius of more than ten miles. Within, there are no other villages."

Chu Huan let out an "oh" and asked, "When your Excellency entered the village, it was already dark, so you probably didn't see anything outside the village."

The man smiled lightly and said, "You mean the corpse hanging from the branch?"

Chu Huan was amazed. Could it be that in such a late night, this person could still find the dog corpse on the treetop? Then this person's eyesight is really terrifying.

The other party had already shook his head and said, "I didn't see the corpses outside this village, but I saw the same scene in another village. On the big tree next to the village, three dogs were pierced to death!"

Chu Huan said: "How can you be sure that you were impaled to death?"

"I checked." The man said: "I went up the tree and cut off the branches, and carefully inspected the dead bodies of the dogs. Apart from the wounds penetrated by the tree trunks, there was nothing fatal about them, and there were no signs of poisoning in their bodies."

Sun Zikong couldn't help but said, "Then have you found out who killed those dogs in such a cruel way?"

"The purpose is not to kill dogs, but to scare people." The man said indifferently: "If it is said who killed them...according to the people here, it was ghosts, and these dead dogs were all killed by ghosts!"

He was wearing a mask, and the gloomy village was lifeless. He suddenly said the word "ghost", and the cold wind blew, making people feel chills all over.
