The two of them had quietly climbed down the tree. There was silence all around. The voice of the female shopping guide was clearly heard by Lin Luo and Wu Shan.

Wu Shan gritted his teeth, and said softly, "Zhang Yang, this is an opportunity to leave."

After that, he walked towards the bus without waiting for Lin Luo's response.

Looking at Wu Shan's back, Lin Luo's face changed.

Wu Shan came to the female shopping guide. He didn't say anything. He got on the bus and sat on the right rear side of Tong Tong.

From a distance, Lin Luo could only see the vague figures of Wu Shan and the others.

He was speechless. Wu Shan was really anxious.

At this moment, after Wu Shan walked out, he had already hidden from behind the tree to the side of an inconspicuous field, hiding in the weeds that were half a person high.

He looked at the watch time. It was exactly 12:35.

He couldn't help but frown. The time of this bus was too accurate.

Not a minute or a second off.

Another five minutes passed.

The door of the bus slowly closed, and one minute later, the bus slowly drove away.

Looking at the time on the watch, Lin Luo hesitated.

Should I reload the game?

At this moment, Lin Luo's originally calm body seemed to be grabbed by an invisible hand, and then he couldn't help but tremble violently.

A sudden cold chill, like a sharp ice sword, instantly pierced his body, making him involuntarily lower his body, almost crawling on the ground.

The mixed smell of the rough soil and messy weeds was like countless tiny needles, constantly hitting Lin Luo's nose, stimulating him to frown repeatedly, gritting his teeth tightly to prevent himself from making a sound.

In his horrified eyes, a vague figure slowly appeared at the entrance of the quiet village.

The figure looked particularly strange, as if it had no bones, like a soft snake, crawling forward slowly and laboriously in an extremely irregular and weird posture, and every movement was accompanied by an inexplicable sense of horror.

Fortunately, Lin Luo had gradually adapted to the dim light because he was in a dark environment before, and with the faint moonlight, he barely discovered its existence.

The increasingly clear strange figure still slowly crawled towards the thick tree not far away, and every step seemed to be stepping on Lin Luo's heart, making his heartbeat instantly accelerate to the extreme.

A moment later, the figure actually crawled down the tree trunk quickly like an agile spider, and the speed was so fast that Lin Luo could hardly believe his eyes.

At this moment, Lin Luo's breathing almost stopped. He felt as if his heart was tightly grasped by a huge hand, and the oppression made him almost breathless.

In his mind, there was almost a flash of the idea of ​​"reloading" and then immediately turning around and running to the bus that had been waiting for a long time.

But in the end, he still suppressed the fear and uneasiness in his heart and restrained himself with gritted teeth.

Because he knew clearly that the bus was definitely not a car that could take him back to a safe place, but a symbol of unknown and danger.

And the creepy and strange figure, after turning around a few times in the same place, seemed unwilling to leave like this, and finally continued to crawl slowly into the village like a ghost. The black shadow swayed in the moonlight, as if it was going to swallow the whole village, leaving endless fear and haze...

Lin Luo still dared not breathe, and the whole person seemed to be melted into the soil.

In this way, Lin Luo held on until dawn, on the edge of this inconspicuous field.

With two dark circles under his eyes, he forced himself to walk into the village while the villagers were still asleep.

He was going to look for Li Bing's family.

He had gone there before, but at that time there were people at Li Bing's house. Although her mother had gone up the mountain, there were several women at her house.

Lin Luo had a good memory and soon arrived at Li Bing's house.

In the yard, a figure had already started to get busy.

It was Li Bing's mother.

After the other person entered the kitchen, Lin Luo directly climbed into the yard, took two steps instead of three, and quickly got into the house.

As soon as he entered the house, Lin Luo smelled a strong herbal smell that made him feel a little dizzy. The light in the house was not dim, so he could see the situation inside the house clearly.

The herbal smell was so strong that Lin Luo knew that the medicine was definitely bitter without drinking it.

Entering the house, Lin Luo was cautious and alert. He saw a kerosene lamp with a faint flame on the table next to him, and a bead curtain hung in the middle of the house.

There seemed to be a person lying behind the bead curtain.It should be Li Bing.

But at this moment, footsteps were heard at the door. It was Li Bing's mother. Lin Luo had no choice but to hide behind a cabinet.

Li Bing's mother was busy in the house, and then took some things out of the house.

Lin Luo waited for a while before coming out from behind the cabinet.

He looked at the direction of the door vigilantly, quickly came to the bead curtain, and slowly opened it.

It turned out to be a woman sitting on the bed, but what surprised Lin Luo was that the other party was actually looking at him quietly.

"Who are you? A distinguished guest of the village!?" The woman's voice was crisp.

"Dear guest?" Looking at the woman thoughtfully, Lin Luo said, "Are you Li Bing?"

Hearing this, Li Bing's expression changed. Instead of answering Lin Luo's words, he asked, "What are you doing at my house?"

Lin Luo looked at the direction of the door, took the stool next to the bed and sat down, looking at Li Bing, he said, "I want to find you to understand something."

Li Bing looked calm, looked at Lin Luo and whispered, "What's the matter?"

Looking at Li Bing's ruddy face and full of energy when speaking, he didn't find any signs of illness.

This made Lin Luo start to think in his heart.

Lin Luo said, "I want to know how your sister died?"

Hearing this, Li Bing looked at Lin Luo with a bad look. After a moment, she said, "She hanged herself."

"Hang herself!" Lin Luo's expression changed. The other party's words were almost the same as the village chief. Lin Luo sneered, "Then why did you pretend to be your sister? Live as your sister?!"

A trace of sadness flashed in Li Bing's eyes, but soon calmed down.

"Dear guest, are you too nosy?"

Hearing this, Lin Luo couldn't help but praise, "You are worthy of being a well-educated person, and you speak elegantly. Do you know how your father died?"

Li Bing didn't say anything, but lowered his head slightly, not knowing what he was thinking.

Looking at Li Bing who was bowing his head and not saying anything, Lin Luo continued; "I asked your old village chief, he said your father was..." After a pause, he turned his eyes and continued; "He died accidentally."

"He died accidentally!?" As if he had heard a big joke, Li Bing was stunned at first, and then he couldn't help laughing, and his tears came out.

"What's wrong?!" At this moment, Li Bing's mother hurried in with a spatula in one hand.

Looking at Li Bing who was reading a book on the bed, she asked with some concern; "Xiao Bing, what's wrong?"

Li Bing gently turned a page of the book, looked under the bed without leaving a trace, and she chuckled; "It's okay, mother, I just saw some funny places, which made me laugh." Then she raised her hand and wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes.

Looking at Li Bing's appearance, Li Bing's mother opened her mouth slightly, and finally didn't say anything, leaving a word and went out.

"The meal will be ready soon."

"Yes."

After Li Bing's mother left, Lin Luo crawled out from under the bed, looked at the closed door, looked at Li Bing in surprise, and then continued to ask; "What do you know?"

He clearly heard sadness and resentment in the other party's smile just now.

Li Bing slowly closed the book and looked at Lin Luo coldly. "Are you a policeman?"

Hearing this, Lin Luo looked calm and nodded affirmatively. "Yes."

After carefully looking at Lin Luo, Li Bing slowly stretched out his right hand and said, "Proof!"

Lin Luo spread his hands, shrugged his shoulders, and sat back on the stool. "In the bag."

Li Bing frowned, but did not say anything. After a moment of silence, he said, "My sister and father were forced to death by them..."

"There is a custom in our village. Every ten years, a sacrificial day will be held."

"That day, the whole village, no, except for the women, all the men went to the back mountain. My sister and I were curious, so we secretly followed them..."

"Wait a minute." Lin Luo interrupted Li Bing's story, and his eyes had an elusive light. "You and your sister? Isn't she a sickly woman?"

Hearing this, Li Bing's eyes flashed with a coldness, and he sneered, "Who said that?!"
