Chapter 38 Delivering Some Information

"No, I want to go up to the embankment to have a look, but the water suddenly rose today." Cheng Zihan was awakened by Li Lan's voice, and he answered listlessly, and walked into the house with his head down.

"Water rising?" Li Lan repeated Cheng Zihan's words, and looked up at the embankment at the door. It's only April, how could the water be rising?
The celestial silkworm was gone, and Cheng Zihan was also in a low mood, not in the mood to eat, and worried all day long.

Naihe couldn't contact Mang Cang, and the tree spirit space seemed to be closed, and she couldn't even get in.

The more Cheng Zihan thought about it, the more frightened he became. Could it be that something happened to Tiancan?
Thinking about how he couldn't protect Tiancan, and let him get hurt because of protecting himself, Cheng Zihan felt guilty for a while.

Looking at his own hands, his fingers were long and slender, but they looked a bit dark due to long-term sun exposure. Cheng Zihan's skin was not fair, dark and thin, only a pair of eyes were very bright. It was really too bright to be placed among a group of children. Ordinary.

After all, he was still too weak.

While Cheng Zihan was worried about the situation of the silkworm, he suddenly heard a commotion outside the house. The neighbors next door ran out of their homes one after another and rushed to the embankment. After a while, the embankment was full of people.

Li Lan touched her hand, looked at the dike suspiciously, and muttered, "What's going on? Why are so many people going up?"

While speaking, Li Lan had already put down the things in his hands, and hurried up.

Cheng Zihan quickly followed.

A lot of people had already gathered on the embankment, and they were all pointing and discussing.

"Look, the body wasn't there in the morning, but it came out in the afternoon."

"It's true. And there is no head, and the skin on the body has been peeled off. It's too cruel."

"You said that the water will rise today. We haven't tried the water rising in April for decades."

"..."

Listening to those people's discussion, Cheng Zihan also understood what was going on. It seemed that those corpses surfaced last night.

Cheng Zihan glanced through the crowd, and the five corpses were dragged up by someone, and they were neatly placed on the levee.The skin on the body was peeled off, and the head was gone.

Cheng Zihan glanced at it, feeling nauseated for a while, just about to turn his head away and stop looking at it, when he suddenly saw that one of the corpses seemed to be holding something in his hand, that thing was very familiar, which made Cheng Zihan's heart ache. There was a severe shock.

That, isn't that, isn't it the jade pendant on the silkworm's body?How come here!

A terrible thought made Cheng Zihan's whole body cold, unable to move for a long time.

Li Bojian soon received the news and rushed over. Seeing those headless blood corpses, he felt a little horrified. Who is it that commits such a cruel crime?Or is it that the murderer is not human at all?

All the children at the scene were covered by their parents, and they were not allowed to continue watching. The adults were all shocked, and they all thought of a terrible legend at the same time.

It is rumored that many years ago in this village, an ogre who specialized in eating human souls and sucking human blood was suppressed, and finally was suppressed in the mountain behind the village for some unknown reason.It's just that after many years, the back mountain has been razed long ago, and the suppressed ogres don't know where they went.

Later, no one lived here, and it turned into a wilderness and swamp. It was only in the 20s that people came here, and under the call of the country, they began to develop here.

It's just that this legend has been chanting in the population of the older generation, and I don't know whether it is true or not.

Such a thing happened today, everyone looked at those corpses, it is really unimaginable that human beings can have such means to kill people like this.

Li Bojian suppressed the shock in his heart, and ordered a few more courageous villagers to first move the body back to the ancestral hall and then send people to the town to find the police.

No one noticed that when the corpses were being lifted up, a blood-drop-shaped jade pendant fell onto the grass and lay there quietly.

After everyone left, Cheng Zihan walked over, picked up the jade pendant and put it away.

Now the silkworm doesn't know what's going on.

With a sigh in her heart, she turned and went home.

Li Lan could see that he was not in a good mood. The land that he had spent a lot of money to bid for was now flooded. He had just hired someone to plow the land. It would take a lot of money to ask someone to help, and the bamboo The shed, when I looked at it just now, I found that it had completely collapsed, and I didn't even know where the bamboo used to build the shed was.

If the water continues to rise and does not retreat, it is estimated that a lot of money will be lost this year.

Fortunately, the money was earned by Cheng Zihan himself, and there was still a lot left after the bidding.

"Mom, I, I want to go out for a while." Cheng Zihan was still worried about the situation of the silkworm. Since the tree spirit space could not enter, there might be some clues from the big tree where Mang Cang lived.

Li Lan glanced at Cheng Zihan casually, and asked lightly, "Now that something like this has happened, where do you want to go as a child? Stay at home and take good care of my sister." , not allowed to go anywhere!"

Li Lan ordered Cheng Zihan to finish, and then took the tools and went to work.

Cheng Zihan was anxious, but she knew that Li Lan would definitely not let her go out. If she sneaked out, she would be worried again, so she stayed at home obediently.

Strangely, at about eleven o'clock in the noon, the river, which suddenly rose, retreated again, which caught people off guard.

Cheng Zihan was the first to discover it. She was still worried, so she ran to the embankment secretly. As soon as she went up, she saw the river water disappearing at a speed visible to the naked eye. She clearly saw that all the water was heading towards the embankment. Going in the direction of the bamboo forest, a terrifying vortex formed there.

Could it be that something went wrong with the ancient tomb in the bamboo forest?
Cheng Zihan suddenly remembered that the blood corpse also came out of the ancient tomb, or there was really a relationship between the two.

The water receded, and the water level was much lower than before, and the sandbars in the middle of the river could be clearly seen.

Cheng Zihan originally wanted to go down to check it out, but just after the water receded, the ground was still very muddy, and she couldn't get close to the bamboo forest at all, so she had no choice but to give up.

At this time, the jade pendant that had been in his pocket suddenly reacted.

Feeling that his pocket was burning hot, Cheng Zihan took out the jade pendant. The jade pendant exuded a soft white light, and a light and shadow suddenly appeared in front of Cheng Zihan. scare others.
