strayed into fairy mountain

Chapter 70 [The Barren Mountain Ancient Temple, The Skeleton Baby]

Tap, tap.

In the dense fog, there are footsteps, the sound is heavy, approaching.

Wow……

Suddenly there was another baby crying, and it came in mournfully.

Suddenly someone scolded, like a man with a bad temper, and said viciously: "Cry, cry, cry, you know how to cry, it made me upset, and I slapped you two to death."

Yet the baby was still crying.

The cry was miserable and penetrating.

"damn it……"

The man outside seemed to be furious, and there was a "slap" in the depths of the dense fog, and it was unknown who was slapped, or who was slapped hard.

Soon, a woman's sobbing and crying sounded outside.

The crying was clearly filled with grievances, and she pleaded timidly: "My family can't help it, there is really no milk. The child is hungry, and she must cry. How old is she, how can you be willing to beat her?"

"I'll just beat you, why don't you give up." The man's voice became even more irritable, cursing angrily, "You're a loser, and having a girl is also a loser. I've been unlucky for eight lifetimes, why did I marry you blindly?"

But hearing the woman's sad voice, she was sobbing more and more aggrieved, and said timidly: "Back then, my maiden's family was rich, and you had a lot of money at that time..."

It's a pity that before I finished speaking, there was another "snap".

Apparently, the man slapped her again.

The woman cried out in pain.

The man yelled furiously.

Even though it was far away, the man's roar was clearly heard, and he said viciously: "You still have the face to say it, you still have the face to say it. If it wasn't because your family is rich, I would have taken a fancy to you like this goods?"

In the roar, it seemed that he was beating the woman violently again, and kept cursing: "Let you say it, let you say it. I will kill you today, you are a loser."

The woman begged again and again.

The night is gloomy, the thick fog is rolling in, the sound of a woman begging for mercy, and a baby's cry, in this ancient temple in the barren mountains and mountains, it sounds really penetrating.

……

After a while, Tian Shuheng stood up, this guy was furious, and was about to go out with the bronze spear in his hand.

Everyone was stunned for a moment, the scholar hastily stretched out his hand to grab him, and asked in a low voice, "Brother, what are you going to do?"

"What do you ask me to do?"

Tian Shuheng's face was livid, and he gritted his teeth viciously: "I'm going to beat that bastard to death, but I actually killed my wife and children. Damn it, I'm so mad."

Yun Ye was stunned, speechless.

After a long time, he had no choice but to speak, and asked with a strange expression: "Brother Tian, ​​are you really the priest guarding a county?"

Tian Shuheng was startled at first, then glared angrily, and asked, "What's wrong? Brother, why am I not a priest? When you were struggling in the night patrol team, I was able to sit in a small county..."

However, Yun Ye sighed, and said, "I finally believe that birth is really important."

Tian Shuheng was startled again, and said fiercely, "What do you mean? Can you explain it clearly?"

At this moment, Zhang Jingxu opened his mouth slowly, and said with a smile: "He meant that family background is more important than ability. For example, you, who came from a wealthy family in the God's House, so even if your brain is impulsive like a bastard, but you To be able to live until today..."

Tian Shuheng turned his head to look at Zhang Jingxu, wondering: "What does it have to do with my family that I can live to this day? I rely on my own ability to directly crush when faced with strange things."

Zhang Jingxu was choked immediately, and he also sighed helplessly.

He suddenly understood Yun Ye a little bit, he felt Yun Ye's aggrieved.

This kind of brainless impulsive person can actually be a priest safely and securely. From this, it can be inferred how much life-saving things his family has given.

chuff.

second-hand goods.

Can't communicate.

So Zhang Jingxu stopped talking, but picked up the fire stick again, slowly moved the wood ash, and continued to peel the roasted chestnuts.

As for the crying and beating outside the ancient temple...

Zhang Jingxu didn't seem to hear it at all!
In the end, it was Yun Ye who spoke again, dragged Tian Shuheng to a corner, and said in a low voice, "Brother Tian, ​​think about it carefully, what are we doing here, and why we have to stay here for more than ten days."

Tian Shuheng stared at him, and said without hesitation: "Is there any need to ask? Of course we are here to clear up the danger."

"Didn't you say before that something strange happened here? It was a woodcutter who was collecting firewood. More than 40 corpses were found here. The woodcutter didn't dare to hide it, so he went to the county government to report... the county government I thought it was a ghost doing evil, so I informed you again."

Yun Ye nodded, and continued: "What else? Brother Tian, ​​please recall what I said."

Tian Shuheng was taken aback for a moment, and really began to recall.

But seeing this guy scratching his head, he spoke again after a while, saying: "One more thing, the corpses found here are very strange. There are 41 skeletons in total, and 37 of them are all children."

The guy paused while talking, looked at Yun Ye and said, "That's why you made a guess, thinking that the ghosts here like to kill children, and you proposed to let Zhang catcher take the two girls, isn't it just because you want to be a child?" Does the bait attract ghosts?"

Yun Ye nodded again, and continued to be persuasive: "Brother Tian, ​​think again, is the sound of crying and beating outside normal? This is a barren mountain, and there is only one dilapidated ancient temple on the whole mountain. The sky is bright and the sun is bright, and people rarely come here...

"There are few people in the daytime, let alone the dense fog at night. Brother Tian, ​​you should think about it carefully. Which common people have the courage?"

Tian Shuheng let out an 'ah'.

This guy froze on the spot.

Apparently, despite his impulsive nature, he wasn't a complete fool.

After Yun Ye's reminder, he has already reacted.

The guy subconsciously clenched his weapon, and lowered his voice, "You mean to say that the man and woman outside are ghosts?"

After finishing speaking, he took a deep breath suddenly, bursting with fighting intent, and said fiercely: "If it is really a ghost, then I have to go out and squat for more than ten days, I have long been tired of squatting. Damn it Yes, watch me kill these two ghosts with a single shot. Brother Yun, you come with me, and you will share [-]% of the merit..."

Yun Ye didn't answer directly, but turned his head to look at Zhang Jingxu, as if asking: "What does Catcher Zhang think?"

Zhang Jingxu still poked the bonfire with the stick, continued to peel and roast chestnuts for the two girls, and said indifferently: "Since you are here, you will be safe. I have been guarding for more than ten days, and I don't mind waiting a little longer."

As he spoke, he raised his head slightly, looked outside meaningfully, and said, "Besides, he was just beating, cursing and crying outside, and didn't come into the ancient temple to disturb us... Maybe they are not ghosts. Maybe they are really a pair of ordinary people, poor It's normal for couples to argue and fight."

Tian Shuheng was stunned for a moment, turned his head to listen to the voice outside, and said in astonishment: "The female ghost was beaten and cried by the male ghost. You call this a husband and wife quarreling and fighting? Even if they are not ghosts but humans, this situation does not seem to be considered a fight. Bar."

Zhang Jingxu glanced at him, and asked with a smile: "Then how should it be calculated?"

Tian Shuheng thought for a while, seemed to be pondering over vocabulary, and after a while, he said seriously, "You should say, this is being beaten. Men are beaten, women are beaten. If they are ghosts, then it is male ghosts beating and female ghosts being beaten."

He paused for a while, seemed to ponder over the vocabulary again, and then said solemnly: "Also, the baby is also being beaten..."

Suddenly this guy's expression changed, and he finally came to his senses, looked at Zhang Jingxu and Yun Ye with a sudden realization, and said, "Damn it, baby."

Outside, apart from the beating and scolding of men and the crying of women, there was also the sound of crying babies.

Zhang Jingxu exhaled slowly, seemingly calm but with burning eyes, said in a low voice: "Baby, baby, 41 skeletons were found here, 37 of them are babies..."

baby!

Babies and children.

There are babies and there are children.

……

At this moment, the gate of the ancient temple suddenly shook, making a low and muffled sound, and was pushed open forcefully.

The thick fog outside suddenly swept in.

Accompanied by the figure of a man and a woman.

"Aha, there is someone here..."

The man seemed surprised.

……
