Chapter 13 Horror Village ([-])

"So as long as we destroy the Scarecrow, you will go back."

"Yes, but you don't have much time. The scarecrow only appears when it gets dark. Tomorrow night is the day to offer sacrifices to the sea."

The black shadow took a step back visible to the naked eye, merging its body with the big tree.

"If you succeed, I will show up. If you fail, I will wait for the next person who is destined."

Gu Manman looked distressed, "So who will know me?"

After the conversation, the monsters and shadows in the forest left one after another.

Gu Manman and Qin Xu returned to their original location to find Jiang Yan, and Qin Xu explained to him what he needed to do tomorrow night.

Jiang Yan patted his chest confidently, "Leave it to me, put ten thousand hearts."

"But then again, what are you going to do now?"

"Go back to each house." Gu Manman walked towards the village in a depressed mood.

Jiang Zong looked confused, "Home?"

"You go back to the farmer's house. You are safest there. I will go back to the village chief's house with her. It will be safer there for now." Qin Xu reached out and patted Jiang Yan's shoulder, motioning to leave the rest to him.

"Okay, see you tomorrow then."

I have to admit that Jiang Zong misses his bride a little bit.

The rain stopped at some point, and the village was as quiet as ever.

What is unusual is that the doors of every household are open, and paper puppets without facial features are placed in different positions.

Some are at the door, some are at the window, and some are in the middle of the road.

There is weirdness everywhere.

Gu Manman came to Mumu's place again.

The house came back, only it was empty.

"Want to go in?"

"Don't go."

"Then what are you doing here?"

"Qin Xu."

"Ok?"

"Who do you think would know me?"

"... "

Qin Xu felt helpless, "I'm not a god."

"It's useless."

Gu Manman cheered up again, "Sleep, sleep, go back to sleep."

Speaking of which, how did the legend of the mermaid come about?
Who will be the first to know?

Back at the village chief's house, Qiaopan and Mo Qiuran hadn't come back yet.

"I'm so tired today."

Gu Manman lay down on the bed and soon fell asleep.

Qin Xu just wanted to say that the quality of her sleep was really good.

Just when he wanted to breathe a sigh of relief, a cold gaze suddenly came from the door.

He turned his head abruptly, and Li Zhen stood there blankly staring at him.

"Boom", the door closed heavily.

The rain fell again, the puddle expanded at a speed visible to the naked eye, and the scarecrow was shaken by the wind and rain.

The paper puppet's face turned strangely red after being drenched by the rain.

"Chichichi."

I don't know how long it has been...

"It's not good, it's not good, Gu Manman, wake up quickly."

Gu Manman opened his eyes with a headache, "Mo Qiuran, why do you keep disturbing my sleep?"

When she wanted to complain, she saw that the other party's eyes were red from crying, and his face was full of helplessness and despair.

The clothes on Mo Qiuran's body were slightly scratched and muddy, as if they had been crawling and rolling on the ground.

"What's going on? Aren't you with Qiao Pan? Where's Qiao Pan? Dead?"

After hearing Gu Manman's words, Mo Qiuran's tears couldn't stop streaming down, and she slumped on the bed in despair.

"It's all my fault, it's all my fault, he was taken away, woo woo woo, Gu Manman, no one can take me out, the next one must be me."

She didn't want to die, she really didn't want to die.

"Wait, who captured him?"

Gu Manman was a little puzzled, "There shouldn't be anything coming out last night."

"Huh? What last night? It's still night."

"... "

Gu Manman was stunned, so she fell asleep not long ago?

Forget it, that's not the point.

"I asked you who took him away?"

"I, we, after you went out, I followed him to that monster's house, it seems to be called, Mumu?"

"He said he could bring Li Zhen here, but Mumu wanted to tell him how Mumu got here."

"That Mumu seems to be an outsider."

"she…"

Gu Manman was speechless immediately, what was the difference between this question and telling them to leave here directly.

"So he was mummified..."

Before Gu Manman finished speaking, he saw the village chief walking in through the gate shaking his head, dragging Qiaopan covered in blood by his hand.

Only then did she realize that the water level on the ground was slowly rising.

"It's her, it has nothing to do with me, none of this has anything to do with me, I don't know anything." Mo Qiuran screamed, and then hurriedly hid behind Gu Manman.

"I don't know anything. She was the one who went looking for Mumu. It has nothing to do with me. If you want to kill her, kill her. Don't kill me, don't kill me."

"You really see a friend in need." Gu Manman sneered, even though he didn't have that much relationship with her.

"I'm sorry, I have the old and the young, I really can't die. I can't die."

Gu Manman was curious for a while, "You don't think you are the only one left, you can still run out, right? After all, you don't know anything."

"... "

"Originally, if you were quiet and honest, nothing would happen."

"Why are you so curious?"

The village chief threw Qiaopan on the ground with a smile, and approached them step by step.

Gu Manman glanced at the village chief's fingers. There are webs between his fingers, which means that he also has the elements of a mermaid, and the mermaid needs to stay in the water at night.

The water level was rising and she had to climb higher.

But there is only one table besides the bed.

Just when she was thinking deeply, Mo Qiuran suddenly stretched out his hands behind her and pushed her down violently.

Gu Manman lost control of his body and fell straight down, his head hit the edge of the bed uncontrollably.

When she raised her head again, the village chief was already bending over and staring at her with a smile.

The big hand pinched her neck with a little force.

Gu Manman struggled for a moment, his eyes widened, his mouth opened wide, his hands dropped, and there was no movement.

Seeing this, the village chief threw her into the water and stared up at the person on the bed.

Mo Qiuran kept shrinking in panic.

Fortunately for her, the village chief raised his hand and made a shush gesture to her, then left.

"Great, I survived."

But what she didn't expect was that Gu Manman got up slowly and walked towards Qiao Pan.

"Gu Manman, are you alive?"

"What a pity." Gu Manman smiled slightly.

"No, I was..."

"I am talking about you."

"what?"

"You can't go into the water, because there are no living people."

Mo Qiuran's eyes widened, and he realized later, "So you did it on purpose just now."

"I'm not so bored, hey, are you alive or dead?"

"Life is big, I'm not dead yet, but I'm seriously injured, I'm afraid I won't last long."

Qiao Pan smiled helplessly, he was careless.

"Why did the village chief kill you?"

Qiao Pan glanced at the person on the bed, and motioned Gu Manman to approach.

Mo Qiuran could not help but clenched his fists when he saw that the two of them said nothing about himself.

"I know I was wrong, next time I will go ahead, please, don't give up on me."

Gu Manman nodded thoughtfully, and then supported Qiao Pan to sit on the bed, "Your life is in his hands, if you want to survive, take good care of him."

"Where are you going?" Qiao Pan looked at her weakly, "You don't need to rest?"

"It's almost dawn, there's no need."
