Chapter 41 Bear Girl
  The little girl was puzzled: "Aunt Shen, where are you going?"

The middle-aged woman showed an ugly expression, touched the other person's head, and said in a low voice: "Far, far away."

-

Fu Zhaozhao remembered that there was a temple in the village. Although she still didn't know which deity the temple was dedicated to, it was of some use after all.

Originally, according to the middle-aged woman's wish, she could leave this place after dawn.

But she didn't know what was wrong. She didn't leave here after dawn. Instead, she had a premonition that this situation was not over yet.

If you continue to stay in the original house, you will probably be caught by last night's monster.

From the fingerprints left on the window sill, we knew that the other party was not giving up so easily.

If nothing else happens, it is very likely that we will meet each other again tonight.

Just in case, she decided to hide in a temple that few people went to and see if she could find a way to leave.

Perhaps due to its age and disrepair, the temple looks a bit shabby from the outside. The wooden pillars at the entrance are quite rotten. Not only that, there are even spider webs hanging everywhere in the temple.

I don’t know how long no one has been here.

Fu Zhaozhao plucked at the cobwebs to see which deity was enshrined in the temple.

In the middle of the temple, there stood a nearly three-meter-high statue of a god. There were signs of damage everywhere on the statue. But what was weird was that someone had covered the other person’s head with a red cloth, as if they didn’t want the other person to see anything. thing.

Fu Zhaozhao hesitated for a moment, removed the cobwebs around the statue, then climbed onto the rickety wooden table and lifted off the dusty red cloth.

The next moment, an angry-eyed statue appeared in front of him.

After the red cloth was lifted, there was still a bit of cool and biting feeling around him, but it disappeared in an instant.

Fu Zhaozhao jumped off the wooden table and waved in front of the statue reverently, "Don't be surprised if it's strange. I'm only here for one night. If there's anything wrong, just tell me in your dream."

She muttered several words in her mouth, regardless of whether the other party responded or not, and took it as acquiescence.

Then he turned around and looked in the direction of the door. Seeing that the doors on both sides were still intact, he stepped forward and closed the doors on both sides. He glanced around the temple as if he was looking for a place to rest.

The temple was empty all around. Except for the crooked small wooden table, there was only the area under the wooden table covered with yellow cloth.

Fu Zhaozhao stepped forward and looked at it, and found that the location was indeed good.

The space is not too narrow, and it is very close to the statue, which gives a sense of security.

Seeing that the place had been found, she went out to see if she could find anything to eat.

However, it is a pity that, just like the scene yesterday, the whole village has no popularity at all. It feels like everyone in the village has gone into hiding before dawn.

Fu Zhaozhao hesitated for a moment, then turned back to the house where he stayed last night to see if he could find anything to eat.

Maybe she was lucky, or maybe she didn't notice it before.

In the middle of the original house, there was a black wooden table placed somewhat unexpectedly. On the wooden table were two or three apples sparsely placed. It looked like they had been there for a long time, and the skins on them were wrinkled.

Fu Zhaozhao picked it up and smelled it. Seeing that it was still fresh, he ate it.

When I took a bite, I only felt a rustling softness without any taste, as if I was chewing cotton.

Fu Zhaozhao muttered: "Why does it have no taste at all?"

After all, you can't live with your stomach. She finished the apples in three gulps, turned around and left.

Where the apples were originally placed on the table, she placed a few incense sticks taken from the temple.

Time passed bit by bit, and it was twelve o'clock again in the blink of an eye.

The originally lifeless village was like a toy whose button was pushed, and instantly became lively again, with bustling laughter just like last night.

The only difference is that the middle-aged woman who appeared in the village yesterday did not appear, as if she was delayed by something.

However, Fu Zhaozhao is not in the village, so he naturally doesn't know the other party's situation.

Because the temple is built at a certain distance from the village, you may not notice it unless you pay special attention.

As the lively sounds gradually dissipated, a heavy fog suddenly filled the air outside. From time to time, the sound of things being dragged and walked could be heard in the fog.

Just by listening to the sound, Fu Zhaozhao could recognize that it was the sound of the monster's movements last night.

I just don’t know when the other party will find me.

I was counting the time silently in my heart while thinking about how to leave this place.

I don’t know how long it took, but the sound of dragging seemed to be approaching in the direction of the temple, and it was also accompanied by the sound of metal objects being dragged on the ground.

It seemed as if the other person was dragging something extra heavy in his hand.

Soon, Fu Zhaozhao looked through the crack in the door and saw what the monster was dragging in his hand.

It was an ax that looked a bit large. The top of the ax was stained with sawdust, as if it had just split something.

Fu Zhaozhao thought about it and knew that the other party must have smashed the window of the small room where she stayed yesterday. He probably didn't find him, so he searched around the village.

She even noticed that the position of the ax held by the opponent was stained with a lot of red dots, as if it had experienced a tragic battle.

Seeing this, Fu Zhaozhao shrank his figure back.

Fortunately, her current body is already thin, and she deliberately hides herself. If she doesn't appear in front of her, it would be difficult to find her.

Unfortunately, regardless of whether the monster outside saw anyone or not, he lifted his withered arm slightly and smashed it towards the door.

Just listen to 'Bang! ’ With a sound, the ax struck Lonely, leaving not even a trace behind.

Not only that, when she took action just now, a golden light seemed to be ejected from the wooden door and hit her.

A shrill scream rang out, and it was obvious that it came from the mouth of the monster. It seemed that it was seriously injured.

The other party tried several times and saw that he still failed to break open the temple door. Instead, he suffered a lot of injuries, so he had to change his strategy and trick the people inside into coming out.

The monster's voice was deep and low, as if he was not used to speaking. "You were deceived by the people in the village. As long as you stay here for three days, you will never leave here. You will become like them."

Fu Zhaozhao didn't give the other party any response. He lowered his eyes and looked at the ground, seeming to be thinking about something.

Seeing that she was not fooled, the monster did not give up and continued to lobby.

"Did they tell you that you could leave here after dawn?"

"That's a lie. They actually want you to stay and take their place so they can leave here."
