Chapter 317 The Witch's Idiot 033. Midnight Murder



The moonlight was getting darker, and the bright moonlight shrouded the entire quiet small village.


The night wind was blowing gently, and a sudden smell of blood was drawn in from the wooden lattice windows along with the wind.


Ye Xiyue is very sensitive to blood, and she immediately opened her eyes when she was asleep, with a cold light, and listened quietly.


Less than a stick of incense, there was a sudden commotion outside, mixed with cries, which made the originally silent night lively.


"Yue'er, did something happen outside?"


Tang Shuheng was also woken up by the noise. He opened his eyes and saw that Ye Xiyue beside him had sat up. He also sat up and asked.


Ye Xiyue shook her head, her brows were furrowed, her expression was very serious.


tread, tread, tread—


A burst of footsteps came towards the house where they lived, and then there was a knock on the door.


"Young Master Tang, Mrs. Tang—"


The panicked voice of the village chief's son came from outside the door, and it seemed that something serious had happened.


Ye Xiyue and Tang Shuheng looked at each other, then put on their coats, walked over and opened the wooden door.


"Brother A Niu, what happened?"


The son of the village chief didn't expect to see a beautiful and clean face. He was taken aback for a moment, but was dumbfounded. It turned out that there was such a beautiful face hidden under Mrs. Tang's veil, which was more beautiful than the fairy in the legend. .


"Brother Aniu——"


Tang Shuheng stretched out his hand in front of the village chief's son, calling him back.


"Holding, I'm sorry—" Ah Niu was a little ashamed, he didn't expect that he would look at Ye Xiyue in a daze in front of her husband.


Tang Shuheng smiled, but he was not angry. Aniu's expression was very sincere, just pure appreciation and admiration. He was proud that his wife could be so beautiful.


"Brother A Niu, what happened outside?" Ye Xiyue asked seriously, smelling the increasing smell of blood in the air, her smile faded away.


Ah Niu's expression also became serious, looking at the two of them, he said:


"Mr. Tang, Mrs. Tang, the little Si'er of the Zhang family in the village was bitten by something on the neck, and he is almost dying now. Dad said that he didn't know if there was some kind of beast, and asked me to let you stay in the room. Go out. And your coachman, I have already arranged for him not to come out..."


Ye Xiyue shook her head, she must go and see it, she had a hunch it was not just a beast.


"Where are they? Take me to see."


"Yue'er—" Tang Shuheng looked at her worriedly, always feeling that the air was tense, as if something was about to happen.


"I'm fine." Ye Xiyue nodded to him, telling him not to worry.


"Mrs. Tang, you'd better not go. Xiao Si's appearance is miserable, it's scary." A Niu obviously regarded Ye Xiyue as a weak woman, and she was so beautiful, he would worry that the scene would scare her to her.


"It's okay." Ye Xiyue shook her head firmly, "I'm not afraid of those, and maybe I can help you guys."


"This—" A Niu looked at Tang Shuheng.


Tang Shuheng knew that once Ye Xiyue made a decision, he would not change it, so he also nodded, signaling Ah Niu to rest assured.Then he said to Ye Xiyue:


"Yue'er, I'll go with you."


Ye Xiyue looked at him and nodded.She was also worried about letting him stay here alone, if some ferocious beast really came here, he would be in danger.


"it is good."


"You—" Seeing that both of them were determined to go, Ah Niu could only shake his head helplessly.


"Okay, I'll take you there."


"I'm sorry, Brother Niu."


Tang Shuheng bowed his hands to thank A Niu, and walked towards the village with Ye Xiyue.


At the head of the village, the villagers had already appeared there, and the torches one after another illuminated the night sky like daytime.And in the middle of them, Xiao Si was lying on the ground, his clothes were torn, as if he had been torn by something, and there was a big gash on his neck, which seemed to be hollowed out by sharp animal teeth, bloody and bloody.


"My son, what is it that hurt you? How can the two of us live?"


Xiao Si's parents knelt on the ground, watching Xiao Si who was about to die, weeping sadly.


Xiao Si'er stared wide-eyed, with an expression of extreme fear.As if seeing something extremely frightening, he couldn't recover from hearing his mother's crying, and his eyes were still staring.


Seeing this, the village chief and all the villagers were shocked and frightened, but they didn't know what was going on?They have never seen such a scary thing in their lives, why did it happen tonight?

"Village chief, we must find out that harmful thing, otherwise we may not know who will be killed in the future." A man in his 30s said, and everyone nodded frequently after hearing this.After what happened to Xiao Si'er, everyone felt panicked.


The village chief stroked his beard, of course he knew it too.But what is it that is harming people, and how can they find it out? It doesn't mean that they can find it if they find it.


"The harmful thing must be found, but where to go? This has never happened in our village before."


All the villagers were silent when they heard the village chief's words, and the panic rose sharply in their hearts.


The wind was blowing, and the shadows of the trees were whirling, as if ghosts were showing their teeth and claws, and everyone couldn't help but flinch again.


"Village, village head—"


Suddenly the bachelor in the village spoke hesitantly, and his expression told everyone that he seemed to know something.


All eyes turned to him, making him take a step back.


The village head looked straight at him with vicissitudes of life, moved his beard, and asked:

"Zhuzi, it's the time now, just speak up if you have something to say."


Zhu Zi hesitated for a while, then glanced at the crying little fourth woman, and then nodded:


"Half a month ago, when I went to cut firewood in the back mountain, I found several rabbits that had been bitten to death by something. They were like pillars, with a hole in their necks."


The village chief and all the villagers had a serious look on their faces. Could it be that the harmful thing is hidden in the back mountain?

"father--"


Just when they were all frowning and thinking, Ah Niu brought Ye Xiyue and the others over.


The village head looked back, his face said angrily, and reprimanded A Niu.


"A Niu, why did you bring Mr. Tang and the others? What if something happens?"


"The village head, don't scold Brother Aniu, we are here." Tang Shuheng quickly explained, "We heard that something happened, and we hope to come and see if we can help everyone."


All the villagers looked at his thin body and wondered to themselves what you could do to help.But when everyone's eyes swept to Ye Xiyue who came out from Tang Shuheng's side, they gasped suddenly, and even forgot the fear in their hearts.What a beautiful woman, even more beautiful than the people they saw in the paintings...


Ye Xiyue glanced at everyone, then walked forward.As soon as the villagers saw her walking in, they felt a faint fragrance and unconsciously stepped out of the way.


Ye Xiyue squatted beside Xiao Si'er, stretched out her hand to check the wound on his neck, and asked:


"Who found out he was bitten?"
