Chapter 79 Scarecrow

Not everyone can go to the depths of the forbidden area, so the patriarch selected a few strong ones among a group of people.

Fu Zhaozhao noticed that Gong Ya had also sneaked in. What was even more strange was that even when the clan leader saw him sneaking in, his face darkened and he didn't say much.

The roads in the mountains and forests were difficult to walk, and those with weaker physical strength were wiping sweat from their foreheads, but no one mentioned taking a rest.

On the way into the mountain, Gong Ya found an opportunity to sneak into Fu Zhaozhao's side and whispered the news he had obtained to her.

"When Xiao Hui and I left last night, we saw that the lights were still on in the patriarch's house. We went to check it out and found that he looked very similar to the white-haired monster we saw in the well the night before yesterday. .”

To be precise, they look exactly the same.

It's just that it's a little different from the white-haired monster in the well. The clan leader doesn't have those white hairs, but the skin on his body is extremely wrinkled. It looks like he has been peeled off layers of skin to cover his body.

It looked extremely weird and terrifying.

Since he was not familiar with the furnishings of the patriarch's house, he accidentally stepped on a piece of wood and made a sound.

Gong Ya: "I made a sound at that time, and I felt my eyes met with his. Just when he was about to come out, Xiao Hui and I ran away. I don't know if he recognized me."

Fu Zhaozhao lowered his eyebrows and said in a faint tone: "I think I must have discovered you, but why I didn't expose you, I don't know."

When she left just now, she saw the patriarch's eyes falling on Gong Ya. It was obvious that he knew the person who showed up at his house last night.

As for why he didn't say it directly, he probably had other plans.

Gong Ya's hair stood up when he heard this. He remembered the beast-like eyes of the other party through the dim window last night, and felt a sense of fear.

He whispered: "How about I follow you later so that I can take care of you if anything happens."

Fu Zhaozhao did not refuse, so he followed him.

After walking for about an hour through the mountains and forests, the pace of the others gradually slowed down, and everyone's expressions looked particularly solemn.

It was obviously close to the forbidden area of ​​​​the village.

They didn't stop until they reached a place surrounded by trees and covered with wind chimes.

The leading villager waved his hand, and the others quickly pushed Fu Zhaozhao and the little girl in the middle forward.

"Go through here and go in." The leader of the villagers pointed to the intersection ahead, and then said: "We will be guarding here for the next two days, so don't think about escaping or anything."

Seeing this, Gong Ya hurriedly stepped forward, "It's not convenient for them to walk around with them tied up. How about I send them in, and then I'll come out after they get in."

As soon as he said this, everyone looked at him with crazy eyes.

"You can go if you want, just a little bit. You can only go in here, but you can't go out." The leader of the villagers looked at him and said: "If you go in, then you will be like them and cannot come out."

Gong Ya nodded and agreed without even thinking about it.

Then he took the other end of the rope and walked in with Fu Zhaozhao and the others.

As soon as I got into the branches where the wind chimes were tied, the wind chimes around me immediately made a crisp sound, and there was a lot of wind all around.

Gong Ya looked around vigilantly, but didn't see anything special. He was slightly relieved. The little gray wolf that had been stuffed in his clothes seemed to have been holding it in for a long time. He also got out of his head and looked at Fu Zhaozhao with bright eyes. .

Fortunately, the little gray wolf was probably aware of the current situation. He just looked around and did nothing to affect them.

I don’t know how long they walked. After making sure that none of the villagers could see their shadows, Gong Ya stepped forward to untie the ropes on the two of them. As a result, Fu Zhaozhao was one step ahead of him and solved it on his own.

Because the villagers did not know the severity of the attack, there were red marks on their wrists.

Fu Zhaozhao shook his uncomfortable wrist, turned around and helped the little girl untie her rope.

Until this moment, the little girl who had been silent looked at the two people in front of her, looked around and suddenly said: "I know there is a path away from here. If you want to leave, you can go there."

Fu Zhaozhao: "Have you been here?"

The little girl seemed to have remembered something, nodded with an unsightly expression, and said, "Do you remember what I told you last night about meeting A Honggong? It's right here."

She came here secretly to pick mushrooms behind everyone's back. The mushrooms in other places in the mountain had long been picked by other villagers.

If she didn't get some food back, Abu might starve to death.

That's why she took the risk and came here to pick mushrooms.

I just didn't expect to encounter that terrifying scene. After going down the mountain, I was afraid that other villagers would know that I had gone to a forbidden area to pick mushrooms, so I lied and claimed that I had met A Hong Gong, who had given him this gift.

She didn't know how many people believed it, but the clan leader definitely didn't believe it.

But she didn't understand why the other party didn't expose her.

The little girl pointed to a shrine made of wood in front of her, "Go straight ahead in the direction of this shrine, and there will be a less obvious path. If you see a red rope tied to a tree, it proves that you don't have it." Wrong."

Listening to her words, it seemed that she was not among the people leaving.

Fu Zhaozhao looked at her and asked, "What about you?"

The little girl lowered her head and said like an adult: "If I leave here, Abu will be the one to be sacrificed. I promised my parents to take good care of Abu."

"You are not from the village, so just leave if you can. This village is rotten and there is no need to save it." The little girl saw clearly the village where she had stayed for more than ten years.

Unexpectedly, the other party rejected her.

Fu Zhaozhao: "I came here to deal with some things, and I won't leave until the things are dealt with."

Gong Ya nodded in agreement repeatedly and winked at the little girl, "That's right. And I promised you last night that I would take Abu out of the village. Since I take one with me, I will also take you with me."

The little girl blinked her eyes in disbelief. This was the first time she heard that someone wanted her since her parents left.

With her eyes a little moist, the little girl blinked and pushed back the tears, but said in a muffled voice: "My name is A Lin, Lin from Shanlin."

"Besides, taking me with you may cause you trouble."

Gong Ya chuckled, "It's okay, we often encounter this kind of thing. If I can't take you back, you can still be an investigator like me."

"What is an investigator?" Alin asked puzzledly.

Gong Ya realized that it was too early to say this, so he said vaguely: "You will know after you leave here."

Then the three of them reached a consensus and thought about what to do next.

"Alin, where did you meet Mr. Ahong before?" Fu Zhaozhao asked.
