Villager of Destiny

Chapter 92 The Red Shadow on the Mountain

Of course, these are just my guesses.

After all, the village guards guard the soul of the village, and it is inevitable that such a thing will bear the brunt of the incident, because the village guards themselves are used to prevent disasters for the entire village.

I can only say that it is an exception.

Not long after, I followed Xu Er to his home.

His house was already covered with white silk, and there was still a coffin in front of the house, but it was empty inside. Xu Er said that it was for her daughter, but her body was stolen by his wife before her daughter was buried. After leaving, the coffin has been left there.

As soon as I entered Xu Er's house, I heard a woman's cry, which was accompanied by screams from time to time.

Xu Er said it was his crazy wife.

Xu Er took me to the room where his wife was, and I immediately saw a woman curled up in the corner with disheveled hair, trembling all over, and kept muttering: "Don't kill me."

"sorry."

"I did not do it on purpose."

I looked at her carefully, but I didn't find anything wrong with her body. If I really wanted to say it, there was a stench all over her body, as if something was rotting.

I asked Xu Er, "Is your wife always like this?"

"How long has she stink?"

Xu Er thought for a while and said, "It's like this when I come back from the mountain."

"I'll let her take a bath. She's crazy and won't let me touch her. I even force-feed her to eat."

"Li Daochang, what's wrong with my wife?"

I shook my head and said, "I don't see any problem yet."

Xu Er sighed with some disappointment: "I guess I was scared by my poor daughter."

"Would you like to go up the mountain first?"

When Xu Er said this, there was hope in his eyes, but he seemed to be afraid that I would be unhappy, so he added: "Your master said, you are very capable."

"If you go up the mountain, nothing will happen."

"And... if you don't go up the mountain, this matter can't be solved."

Hearing Xu Er's words, I was also a little speechless, but Li Bowen really dared to say anything.

But I can't refute anything, I can only let Xu Er lead the way.

When I brought the mountain that Xu Er mentioned, I finally felt something was wrong.

The whole mountain is not high, similar to the ghost mountain in Fengling Village, but it is shrouded in clouds and mist at first glance, and the mist looks very dark, just standing at the foot of the mountain, there is an inexplicable depression.

Xu Er folded his hands on his chest, trembling slightly.

"Li Daochang, this is the place."

"After my daughter's incident, this mountain has become very strange. There is thick fog every day, and it feels very cold when you get close. It's even weirder."

"No one dares to go up."

"Look... you just go up by yourself?"

I glanced at Xu Er and didn't say anything to him.

I could see that although Xu Er kept saying that his daughter was pitiful, his emotion on this matter was more of fear.

But it's normal to think about.

If any ordinary person encountered such a thing, nine out of ten would be as scared and stupid as his wife, Xu Er is quite courageous.

I ignored Xu Er and went straight up the mountain.

And as soon as I went up the mountain, the gossip mirror Li Bowen gave me shimmered, and even the city god's robe on my body seemed to be touched, and also emitted a faint shimmer to protect me in it.

Feeling the warmth brought by the two things, I started to walk up the mountain.

The mountain is very quiet, so quiet that I can hear it clearly when I step on a weed, as if I am not surrounded by mountains and forests, but a hollow.

I only felt this feeling when I first went to Ghost Mountain.

Although it is not as serious as the uneasiness that Ghost Mountain brings to me, it also shows that something is really wrong in this mountain.

The more I walked up the mountain, the brighter the light from the gossip mirror on my body became, and I gradually felt a bit of coldness. I didn't stop until I reached the mountainside.

I saw some messy footsteps, and some blackened bloodstains, which spread all the way to a nearby forest, with no end in sight.

I followed the blood trail and saw a pile of weeds after a while.

The pile of weeds should have been paved artificially, and there was still some stench on it. I walked over and took a look, and there were still some maggots crawling on it.

There were obvious bloodstains on the haystack.

I remembered what Xu Er said, that his wife brought his late daughter's body to this mountain, put it on the haystack, and performed the so-called body burial ceremony.

Not surprisingly, this haystack was the place where her daughter was brought back to life.

However, when I squatted down to take a look, the gossip mirror on my body began to tremble violently at this moment, and then I felt a chill behind me, as if something was staring at me.

I subconsciously turned my head to look, but I could only see a red shadow flashing past.

I was taken aback, but when I thought of what Xu Er had said, her daughter was changed into a red dress by her wife after she was brought here, so I quickly chased after her.

At this moment, I also suddenly realized a problem.

Her daughter may not be a ghost.

Instead, he turned into a walking dead.

Because if it's a ghost, even I can't see it.

When I went to the restaurant with Li Bowen, if Li Bowen hadn't recruited those ghosts, I wouldn't have seen any of them, and according to what Xu Er said, his daughter might indeed have become one of the walking dead.

It's just that I chased for a long time in the direction where the red figure disappeared, but I didn't see anything. I could only see some bloody footprints on the messy weeds on the ground, but the footprints disappeared after only a certain distance.

This made me feel a little helpless.

I've seen zombies before.

He even faced Fei Zang directly with Li Bowen.

But even Fei Zang gave me the feeling that it was a bit clumsy. Although it has self-awareness, it is much worse than humans.

But now I have an illusion that even if Xu Er's daughter has really turned into a walking dead, she still seems to be like a human being, otherwise, why would she hide from him like this.

It's just that I couldn't find the red figure after searching for a long time, but when I returned to the location of the haystack, the haystack disappeared out of thin air.

This made my heart rise in an instant.

At this moment, I suddenly felt that this seemed weirder than anything I had experienced before.

This also made me dare not stay any longer, and ran down the mountain as if trying to escape. From the beginning to the end, the gossip mirror was shining brightly, making me always feel as if there was an eye staring at me.
