I light incense to worship the gods

"Dong Bao, I told you, there are many worlds in this world, which are interconnected and isolated from each other. The night here is like another world that is isolated. My abilities are reduced here. With less than [-]%, I can barely protect you." Ye Zeyi smiled bitterly, "I'm starting to worry that my husband is of no use to you anymore."

"Don't be such a burden, Lao Ye, it's okay. If you leave here, you will still be my husband..." After saying that, I suddenly realized that what I said was wrong and quickly made up for it, "No, no matter whether you are useful or not, you are still my husband."

It didn't seem right to say that. Looking at Ye Zeyi's dark face, I thought of several ways to answer, but none of them seemed right.

Finally, I gave up and changed the subject.

"Lao Ye, how do we go back? You won't spend the night here, right?" I leaned towards him and coquettishly said, "What if another beast or something comes, it will be fatal. How about I ask Sister Hong and the others?" ?”

As soon as I finished speaking, Hu Tianhong and his friends' voice transmission from thousands of miles away rang in my ears, "We can't get through tonight, we're blocked."

It seems that the protective Gu of Nanjiangxi Village is really domineering!

When Ye Zeyi and I were at a loss what to do, a group of fireflies suddenly appeared in front of us. They circled in front of me, then turned and floated away.

I had a hunch that they might be taking me somewhere.So I followed them, and after walking for about 20 minutes, I saw the village.

At this moment, the village is dark, but in my eyes, it is not as beautiful as before, but like a sleeping and dormant beast.I found Aunt Arlene's house in the dark, entered the guest room, and fell asleep soon after.

Maybe I was tired from running all the way last night, so I fell into a deep sleep. It wasn't until Qinzhuang came to see me early in the morning that I was woken up by Aunt Arlin.

Drowsily, I looked at the time and it was almost noon.I quickly got up, washed up and went to see Qin Zhuang.

"I'm sorry, I slept a little deeply." I smiled awkwardly.

"It's okay. After all, I'm young and have a lot of experience." Qin Zhuang's mood was surprisingly stable, "I'm here today to answer your question yesterday."

"Yes, yes, why are you asking me to leave before tonight?" I asked quickly.

"It's because of the curse." This time, Qin Zhuang's stable mood no longer existed, and his eyes flashed with fear, "The curse of heaven."

"What kind of curse?" I didn't expect the answer to be this one. It seems that this Xizhai is indeed a village with a story.

"It's God's punishment for Xizhai. No one knows what it is. It's different every time." Qin Zhuang said helplessly.

"What do you mean? Has Xizhai suffered many divine punishments?" I was even more shocked.

At this time, Aunt Arlin, who had been cooking, brought the food in, greeted Qin Zhuang in a friendly manner, and then took the words, "This is our village's business. You'd better not ask about it. Please don't ask Mr. Qin either." Moreover."

Qin Zhuang is also aware of current affairs. As an outsider, he is still self-aware, so he stood up and said, "Excuse me, Aunt Arlin, I am going back to find A Mei. Remember to come on time tonight."

"it is good."

After saying that, he stood up and walked out, just reaching the door.Aunt Arlin's door was knocked open, "Come on, something happened!"

The person who came was a man about 30 years old. He panted and said, "Something happened..."

Hearing what he said was wrong, I immediately thought of the man last night. Could it be that his bones were discovered by the villagers in the village?

So I walked over curiously and listened.

"Arjun, don't worry, speak slowly." Aunt Arlin ran out and handed him a glass of water. "Yunxiang is missing." Arjun said with a worried look on his face, "Sister Arlin, will the curse start early?"

When Aunt Arlin heard this, her face instantly turned pale and her eyes became hollow.

"No, that's not possible. Did he go out to farm?" Aunt Arlene said deceiving herself.

"No, the clan leader issued a ban on planting yesterday. How is that possible? What's more, he usually doesn't want to farm at all." Ajun said.

I thought about it and took out the gold and silver jewelry I picked up next to the bones last night from my pocket.

"Look to see if this thing belongs to the Yunxiang you mentioned." I put the things on the table and lined them up.

Aunt Arlin and Arjun stepped forward and took a closer look, their expressions were very rich.

Finally, Arjun looked at me with alert eyes, "Why do you have these things? What did you do to Yunxiang?"

I could see that they had misunderstood me, so I quickly told them what happened last night from beginning to end.

After listening, Aunt Arlin and Arjun both slumped down on their chairs and murmured, "Why is he so stupid? Why is he so stupid? No..."

Aunt Arlene suddenly became energetic, looked at me carefully, and said in a hostile tone, "You are lying to us."

"I didn't." I replied in a neither humble nor condescending manner, "Aunt Arlin, when I followed Yun Xiang out last night, I saw a very strange creature. Do you know what it was?"

There was a hint of panic in Aunt Arlin's eyes, "Tell me, when did you go out yesterday?"

I did the math and answered, "Around 9 p.m."

"You liar, you, you, you are a human or a ghost..." Arjun suddenly jumped back a few steps at this moment, shouting as if he was running away.

Aunt Arlene also stepped back and kept moving away from me.

"Of course I am a human being." I replied, "What else? If you don't believe me, just touch it."

I took a step forward, and the two of them took a step back. It wasn't until they retreated to the door that Aunt Arlene raised her trembling hand and touched my hand.

"Hot?" Aunt Arlene stretched out her hand and touched it a few more times before standing up straight, "You are really human."

"Otherwise." I shrugged, "I really didn't lie to you. Can you tell me about your village this time? What did I see last night? What's the reason why you are not allowed to go out after 7pm?"

Aunt Arlin sighed and said, "What you saw last night was the Gu God. It is the Gu God who protects our Xizhai. It is also the reason why you are not allowed to go out at 7pm, because the Gu God has made a rule that you can go out at 7pm The tribesmen who have different intentions must be killed."

"One size fits all?" I couldn't help complaining, "This is too overbearing."

"No, there was no such rule in the first place, and it only came into existence decades ago." Aunt Arlin sighed, covered her face and started crying, "Yunxiang, the kid must be afraid of the curse of heaven, so he risked his life left."

"I don't understand this. The curse of heaven will not necessarily lead to death. If you go out after 7 o'clock in the evening, you will definitely die. Why would he choose the option of death?" I don't understand.
