Chapter 8 Worry
Li Ye was very happy to be able to get a day off.

But he didn't want to go somewhere to relax, but was going back to the blacksmith shop to help blacksmith Li forge steel ingots.

On the one hand, it was because he planned to adapt to the skyrocketing power by forging iron, and on the other hand, he hadn't forged iron for a long time, and he was panicking.

After ten days without touching a hammer, he suddenly felt itchy, as if he had fallen in love with the feeling of swinging a hammer.

After leaving the old man's compound, Li Ye went straight to the blacksmith's shop.

Once he broke through, the three-dimensional attributes skyrocketed in an all-round way, and Li Ye felt that he was walking with wind now.

The speed of travel was obviously much faster than that of ordinary passers-by, but he didn't feel any difficulty.

However, considering that this speed is too easy to attract the attention of others, Li Ye deliberately slowed down after taking a few steps.

After turning a corner and passing through a long alleyway, Li Ye came to the main road.

At this time, he suddenly and sensitively discovered a problem. The flow of people on the street seemed to be much less.

A few days ago, he went to the old man Tong's compound to practice martial arts before dawn every day, and returned home after dark, so he didn't notice the changes on the street.

But today, when he was walking on the road in broad daylight, he suddenly realized that most of the noises from merchants hawking, pedestrians bargaining, and children playing were mostly gone.

What happened in the county?

A few steps came to a tea shop, ordered a pot of herbal tea, and threw a few copper coins to the waiter, Li Ye began to inquire.

"Brother, why are there so few people on the street today? Where did the new market open? Have all the people gone there?"

"Ah..." Looking at the copper plate in his hand, the waiter hesitated for a moment before whispering, "I don't know either."

After speaking, he put the copper plate on the table.

Li Ye's eyes were fixed. It seemed that the owner of the shop had warned the shop assistants not to talk nonsense.

Therefore, he still didn't give enough chips.

He took out another handful of copper coins and a piece of broken silver and put them gently on the table. Li Ye said lightly, "Brother, even if you don't tell me, I can still get news from other places. Tell me what happened recently. Once you say it, the money is all yours."

The yellow ones and the white ones were laid out on the table in front of the waiter, who stared straight at the waiter.

Calmly sweeping the money on the table into his sleeves, the waiter said softly: "Recently, the city is not peaceful. A nearby family never woke up after going to bed at night. Many people have already been scared to move. gone."

"Where did the thief do it?" Li Ye narrowed his eyes and asked again.

"It's not a thief, I heard it was an evil spirit who killed me." There was a hint of fear in the eyes of the waiter as he spoke, obviously thinking of something extremely terrible.

"Isn't the theory of evil spirits nonsense? Have you seen evil spirits with your own eyes?" Li Ye's heart was pounding, but he didn't believe it on the outside.

"Where have I seen it? I heard that everyone who saw Xie Chong died. Don't curse me." The waiter shook his head like a rattle.

"Then how did you know it was the evil spirit who killed you?" Li Ye asked.

After hesitating for a while, the shop waiter said again: "I didn't believe it at first, but I ran into it once yesterday morning when I was going out. The family's body was charred black, as if it had been burned, but recently there has been no water at all in this area... ..."

"Where did you see it yesterday?" Li Ye hurriedly asked after seeing that the shop waiter had been to the place where the evil spirits destroyed the door.

"It's in the second alley from the east, the one in the innermost alley."

The waiter pointed in the direction, and then turned to look at the shopkeeper, "I'm going to be busy, I advise you not to go there, others say that it's unlucky not to get involved with this kind of thing."

After saying the last sentence, the waiter hurriedly turned around and went to another table to get busy.

Looking at the busy back of the waiter, Li Ye fell into deep thought.

What the waiter didn't know was that Li Ye asked him these words just in passing.In fact, Li Ye was more interested in himself.

As early as when the waiter had just approached, Li Ye felt a very slight yin on him.

This yin energy is like a gangrene, extremely tenacious, even if the waiter is busy in the sun, the yin energy has no sign of dissipating.

Li Ye was very curious about how long this cloudy energy would last and what it would do.

However, he did not act rashly, but prepared to observe and observe more in the future.

After making a follow-up plan, Li Ye got up and left, but did not take a sip of the bowl of tea.

Following the instructions of the waiter in the shop, Li Ye came to the door of the family who had the accident in Donger Lane, but he didn't feel any yin energy left.

I don't know if this thing was actually done by a thief, or if the Yin Qi couldn't last for so long.

Li Ye never thought about opening the door to check in. Doing so would not only be dangerous, but also attract the attention of others.

He didn't want to be misunderstood by others because of this kind of thing, or put the shit bowl on his head.

There was no harvest here, and Li Ye did not continue to investigate. Along the way back, he observed the expressions of the pedestrians around him, and walked straight to the blacksmith's shop.

Most of the pedestrians along the way came and left in a hurry.The expression on his face was mostly dignified and apprehensive, and he no longer had the comfort and leisure of the past.

The business of the nearby stores has also declined a lot, and there are no customers at all at first glance.There are even a few shops that have closed their doors and are not doing business.

Li Ye guessed that the shopkeeper and his family felt the danger and hid elsewhere.

After all, there have been successive deaths in the southern part of the city. I am afraid that many people have plans to move to other areas. Those who have not left yet are just unable to make up their minds.

'I don't know what the other areas are like now. ' Li Ye was thinking wildly in his mind.

I intend to go to other areas to inquire about news, but I still give up after thinking about it.

He didn't know anyone in other areas, so he probably couldn't find any useful information.

When he was approaching the blacksmith shop, Li Ye saw two policemen passing by him in a hurry, complaining softly as they walked.

Li Ye listened intently, and two voices came into his ears.

"Old Zhao, when do you think this kind of life is the end? I dare not sleep at night now."

"Be patient, didn't you say that the superiors have already gone to the county to ask for help, and when they come back, the matter should be resolved."

"Oh, it's been a long way, and I don't know when people will come back."

"Wait, what else can I do if I don't wait, just wait."

"understood……"

The two policemen gradually moved away, and their voices were completely blurred.

Turning his head, Li Ye looked at the backs of the two policemen, thinking in his heart.

'It seems that we have to make plans early...'
