Chapter 45 Reasoning Notes 2: The Murder of the Fox Demon (4)
It wasn't that she was indifferent to those thousands of dollars, but that she thought she could get a higher salary.Xia Zaoan has absolute confidence in negotiating prices.Countless traders are frightened by the news, and she is not a vegetarian who is known as the queen of bargaining in the commercial street.

Sure enough, within a few steps, Huang Wanwan behind him shouted anxiously: "How about 1 yuan?"

"Well..." Xia Zao'an deliberately pretended to be distressed.

"2 yuan! This is the most price!" Huang Wanwan was getting impatient.

"Okay! It's a deal!" It increased by [-]% all of a sudden, not bad.Xia Zao'an made a V in her heart, "I have one more condition, I want to bring my friends along."

"Of course you can. After the matter is done, pay immediately. You can sign the contract later, and then you can go back."

Huang Wanwan ordered Mu Xiao to go to his study to draw up the contract and print it out.After about ten minutes, Mu Xiao handed over the contract that had just been printed.Xia Zao'an carefully browsed through every detail, and felt that there was nothing missing, so she quickly signed.

After the deal was concluded, Xia Zaoan also decided to leave. When she reached the door, she suddenly shouted, "Where's my French dinner?"

It was still sunny outside during class, but the situation changed suddenly after school.Dark clouds covered the sky over the city, lightning blew across the utility poles, and thunder roared in the sky not to be outdone.

"It's really bad!" I looked at the heavy rain that I didn't know when it would stop, feeling upset and irritable.

Suddenly a huge thunder burst from the sky, as if it had landed nearby, shaking our little old house for shelter from the rain.

"It's all you." At this time, Xia Zao'an was the first to complain, "Why did you come to such a place where the birds don't shit?"

"Obviously you are chasing me behind, or we will get lost?"

"Who told you not to accompany me to the Straw Village?"

"Why do you tell me to ask for leave from school to play with you?"

"Because I am alone to be afraid."

"Don't go if you're afraid!"

"That's not okay, there are [-]..."

"Twenty thousand what?"

"Haha..." Xia Zaoan immediately pretended to be crazy and laughed stupidly, pointing to the rain to divert my attention, "Ah, someone is coming!"

Sure enough, there was a dark shadow running through the rain, running towards us to avoid the rain.A bolt of lightning flashed across the gloomy sky, instantly illuminating the man's face.I accidentally saw it, and suddenly opened my mouth wide in fright, and almost screamed out.

Because the man's appearance was really strange - he was wearing a black cloak, a straw hat, and a strange mask on his face.What's even more strange is that the hands and feet exposed from his clothes are completely different from normal human limbs.When another bolt of lightning illuminated the dark sky, my body couldn't help but shrink in horror.I saw that they were clearly limbs made of straw.

Weird man!
Is he human?

Why did he dress up like this?Pretending to be a scarecrow...is there any purpose?

Xia Zao'an and I stared at the people standing outside in fear.He didn't seem to notice our existence at all, as if he was waiting for something, he looked towards the boulevard from time to time.In this weather, this path can be called inaccessible. Who is that guy waiting for?
Could it be related to the family in that villa?I speculated.

When we took shelter from the rain just now, we found a luxurious villa not far from the abandoned house.Looking at the majestic scale, it is not difficult to guess that the residents inside are definitely not ordinary people.And this tree-lined path passes through the entrance of the villa, and the weird people who have to wait are probably the people who live there.

Suddenly, the straw monster seemed to think of something, and let out a terrifying sinister laugh.

"Hehehe...it's coming soon! It's a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity..." The thunder suddenly rumbled above his head, and the weird man's soliloquy became intermittent, "...the fox...no one thought...the straw village……"

Hearing these words, our hearts tightened again, and we looked at each other, each other's faces turned a little pale due to nervousness and fear.Fox Demon, Straw Village, these two terms are most familiar to Xia Zao'an.I also learned from her that a rich man invited her to the straw village and the invitation letter from the fox demon. At that time, my first thought was who played a prank.Now it seems that things are far more than that simple. Maybe there is some kind of conspiracy quietly brewing in that remote mountain village?

It rained less.

"Ha! Here we come!" The Scarecrow suddenly shouted excitedly, leaning out.

A dazzling reflection came from the knife in his hand.We gasped, this guy is really not a good person, he even brought a knife.At the same time, there were hurried footsteps in the rain, and a person appeared from the drizzle, complaining about the damn weather, and running towards this side.When we got closer, we realized that it was a beautiful girl who was about the same age as us.

The girl didn't have an umbrella, and took advantage of the chance that the rain was decreasing, as if she was going to run home quickly.Seeing the front of the abandoned house, a figure suddenly ran out, blocking her way.

"What are you doing?" the girl said angrily. After seeing the strange attire of the visitor and the dagger in her hand, she took a few steps back tremblingly, "You... who are you? What do you want to do..."

"I am the envoy sent by Master Fox Demon, here to kill you! Hehe!"

The terrifying smirk was clearly audible in the pattering rain, and we who were hiding in the abandoned house suddenly felt creepy.The girl screamed again and again, but it was a pity that in the wilderness, with heavy rain pouring down, no one would hear her cries for help.

The straw man triumphantly approached the bewildered girl step by step.

"You...don't come here!" the girl said, her face full of horror.Unexpectedly, she suddenly bumped forward, bumping the straw monster who thought she was sure of winning, and staggered back, almost falling to the ground. Taking this opportunity, the girl tried to escape.However, the Scarecrow quickly gained a foothold and grabbed her arm, causing the girl to scream in pain.

"Go to hell!" The Scarecrow raised the dagger in his hand.

At this time, I couldn't keep silent anymore, so I picked up the stick on the ground and ran out. "Wow!" I yelled frantically, fear racing through my chest.

Both the straw monster and the girl froze in place unexpectedly. I saw the opportunity and knocked out the dagger in the straw monster's hand.He cried out in pain, and that sharp moan was still chilling.

"Run!" I yelled at the girl who was saved.

She who was in a daze heard me yelling, and immediately came back to her senses and ran away.

"Don't run!" The straw man wanted to chase after him, but he was still trapped under my stick, and he could only watch the girl leave.

He was furious, and the bloodshot eyes in the mask were full of hatred.Although I tried my best to stay calm, I couldn't help but feel nervous.Fortunately, the other party didn't intend to fight, so he gritted his teeth and said: "If you dare to destroy Lord Fox Demon's good deeds, you will be punished by Lord Fox Demon!"

These words hit me like icy rain.

I quickly woke up and grabbed his arm: "Don't try to escape!"

At this time, a very horrible thing happened-I tore off the arm of the straw monster, and he quickly disappeared into the rainy night.

"Wow!" Xia Zao'an, who was watching the battle in the abandoned house, screamed when she saw this scene, "Arm...Arm..."

I was cold all over and froze in place.Holding the severed arm in his hand—and no blood flowed!
This is not a body of flesh and blood at all, but an arm made of straw!

Section [-] Resurrected High School Students
The encounter in the heavy rain added a layer of confusing mystery to the straw village and the fox demon.

Why did the straw monster who claimed to be the messenger of the fox demon attack that girl?This mystery is temporarily unsolved, and the girl did not turn back after running away.However, for us, especially Xia Zaoan, we have no interest in going to Straw Village.

"I dare not go, things are getting weird!" Xia Zaoan told me on the way to school.

I totally agree with Xia Zaoan's opinion: "It's better not to go, I have a bad feeling."

"Yeah." She nodded, with regret still on her face, "But, my [-]..." At this point, she stopped talking again, looking at me, for fear that I would find out about her. Secretly.

Actually, I guessed it a long time ago: "Is it a pity that the 2 yuan promised to you by that rich man couldn't get it?"

"That's right...huh?" Xia Zaoan stared at me in astonishment, "How do you know?"

"You can guess it. According to your personality, how can you do a loss-making business? If you don't get paid, you won't go to that kind of poor mountain village!"

Xia Zaoan was about to say something when she suddenly seemed to see a ghost, she yelled and hid behind me.

"what happened?"

"That... that straw man... is right there!"

Looking at her trembling fingers, I felt as if a basin of cold water had been poured on me, and my feet were shaking.On the other side of the street, a strange figure was standing under the telephone pole, with half of his face sticking out, staring at us sullenly.He wore yesterday's grotesque mask and black cloak, his exposed hands still seemed to be made of straw, and... his severed arm had grown back.

Suddenly, someone behind us grabbed our shoulders.

"Wow! Don't grab me, grab Mikaka! My meat doesn't taste good!"

What a mean girl!How did I mess with a guy like this?What a tragedy!
"Hey! What are you panicking about?"

Listen to the voice, this person doesn't look like a bad person.I looked back and it turned out to be Doctor's horse.
