Chapter 77 Scarecrow

The little girl's voice was a little hoarse, probably because she hadn't drank water for a long time.

"Both my parents are like this. Because we are from outside, we will only be the ones who get the red lottery."

"Foreigners?" Fu Zhaozhao was a little surprised, "I thought the people who stayed here were all aborigines."

As soon as this topic came up, the little girl stopped talking.

Fu Zhaozhao then asked some other questions, but the other party didn't respond. He just buried his head and stopped talking.

The two sides were silent until midnight.

The sound of fingernails scratching came from the closed wooden door.

Immediately afterwards, a soft voice came: "Boss, are you okay?"

As he spoke, the little gray wolf howled and scratched the wooden board with his claws, as if he wanted to rescue his master.

Gong Ya, who was beside him, quickly patted its head and whispered: "Keep your voice down. If you attract someone, I'll see what you do."

What responded to him was the grievance of the little gray wolf.

After they were all finished, Fu Zhaozhao said, "Have you found what I asked you to find?"

Gong Ya, who had watched Fu Zhaozhao being taken away during the day, belatedly looked at the white pick in his hand and saw two words lightly carved on it with his nails.

well.

As soon as he saw these two words, he immediately thought of the white-haired monster he had seen last night. Then, when the villagers were not paying attention, he quietly took the little gray wolf to the well.

However, it was different from the scene I saw last night. Although the edge of the well was still desolate, the heavy log cover was opened by someone and casually put aside.

Gong Ya went forward to take a look with fear, only to see the deep well water. The monster he saw last night had long disappeared. He didn't know whether it crawled out or didn't dare to come out during the day.

He said quickly in a low voice: "I went to the well and looked. The white hair was missing last night. Then I took something to salvage and found something."

Fu Zhaozhao: "What?"

"A pile of human bones."

"They are all piled up under the well."

There was another thing he didn't say. While he was salvaging, he felt as if a hand was holding the salvage rod under the pile of human bones. If the little gray wolf hadn't reacted quickly and bit his trouser leg, he would have fallen down. .

Gong Ya continued: "And one thing is strange. After this morning, no one came out. They only came out to make food in the evening, as if they were waiting for something."

The little girl who had been silent suddenly said: "They are waiting for Mr. A Hong to show up."

The two people inside and outside the door suddenly became quiet. Fu Zhaozhao looked at the little girl, "How do you know?"

The little girl pursed her lips, looking reluctant to speak.

When Fu Zhaozhao saw this, he said to Gong Ya outside the door, "Bring her brother, the one named Abu, here. Maybe he knows."

When the little girl heard what she said, she immediately said: "No, this matter has nothing to do with Abu. He has never seen or asked him and he doesn't know anything."

Fu Zhaozhao looked at her and said seductively: "Then tell me everything you know. There are only three of us here. We are both from outside. We won't stay in the village for long. Even if you tell us, we won't." I’ll tell others.”

When the little girl heard this, she hesitated and put forward a condition, "If I tell you, you have to find a way to take Abu out. If he continues to stay here, he will die sooner or later." Fu Zhaozhao did it without any hesitation. Agree.

After a while, the little girl slowly spoke.

"I've seen Mr. Ahong before. He was in the forest during the day. There was no food at home. I wanted to go into the forest to see if there were any mushrooms to pick up, and then I saw it."

The little girl's voice was trembling, "Ahonggong is different from what they said. It is impossible for him to bring blessings to the people in the village. We are just food for him to raise in captivity."

"What do you see?"

"Hand." The little girl said, "I saw something that looked like the legendary A Hong Gong. It had a hand in its mouth."

There was a scar on the tiger's mouth of that hand. That was her father's hand.

The little girl who saw the terrifying scene was so frightened that she froze in place. When she reacted, she was already standing at the foot of the mountain. The basket was filled with dense mushrooms, which looked like human skin at first glance.

The little girl was so frightened that she sat down on the ground and cried loudly, but everyone in the village was envious of her for getting the good things from A Honggong.

Because the mushrooms in the basket can only be found in the deepest part of the mountain forest, where the legendary Ahong Gong lives.

In the end, the little girl threw away all the mushrooms in the basket. As long as she saw the mushrooms, she couldn't help but think of the hand hanging down powerlessly.

"Everything has a price. If they want to get benefits, they will trade our family for it." The little girl seemed to have seen through it. "When we are all dead, sooner or later it will be their turn."

Everyone was silent for a moment, and Fu Zhaozhao asked: "Then do you still remember what Mr. A Hong looks like?"

The little girl nodded silently, "I only remember a little."

"What does it look like?"

"A Honggong's head is bare. I don't remember his appearance very well, but he seems to be very old. He is wearing a red hexagram and is very tall. He looks a bit scary."

Gong Ya, who was listening outside the door, couldn't help but muttered, "How can I describe this as being like a monk?"

The little girl didn't know what a monk was. She just told what she saw. She seemed to remember something and said: "And that well you mentioned, it's best not to go there again. It's unlucky there. Listen to me." Grandma said that the well was cursed."

"Then did your mother-in-law ever say that the well was cursed? Have you seen anything in the well?" Gong Ya's voice came through the door and sounded a bit muffled.

The little girl shook her head, "I don't know, this grandma hasn't told me, but every time Abu and I get close, grandma gets very angry."

"So you'd better try not to go there."

Probably feeling that it was inconvenient to have a door across the door, Gong Ya asked, "Do you need to pry the door open?"

Fu Zhaozhao: "No, let's do this for now. I still have things to deal with. If you have time, take Xiao Hui around here to see if there is anything special."

Gong Ya agreed and left with the little gray wolf.

Before leaving, the little gray wolf reluctantly scratched the door a few times and screamed a few times. Gong Ya was so frightened that he quickly covered its mouth and dragged it away.

It wasn't until the first ray of sunlight from outside shone through the crack in the door that the two people in the room slowly woke up.

Probably a little impatient, the villagers came to the wooden house early.
