I slept for less than an hour when Liu Shifei woke me up.

When I woke up, it was already dark outside, and Bai Xuan and Liu Shiren were already eating chicken outside.

I don't know if it's because I'm used to it or if it's been ventilated for a long time, but I feel that the smell in the house has dissipated a lot.

Liu Shifei said: "After dinner, your boy will be responsible for keeping watch!"

I rested for a while and felt a lot more energetic.

They had been busy, so it was appropriate for me to keep vigil, so I nodded.

When they came out to the yard, Bai Xuan and the others had already eaten chicken bones all over the ground.

The peasant woman had gone to bed, the door of the house was closed, and only an oil lamp was lit in the main room.

The houses of the two families on the left and right were both dark. I asked Liu Shifei: "Did you see the people from those two families when you were outside?"

Liu Shifei gnawed on the chicken neck and said vaguely: "I haven't seen them, but you guessed it right. They are three brothers. All the men have gone out, and only the women are at home."

Guess?

I just figured it out by looking at it. What do you mean by guessing?

But they didn't understand the Five Elements, so I didn't bother to explain, so I picked a piece of chicken in the pot with a wooden stick.

The chickens were a bit old and couldn't be cooked through in the high heat, and even the ribs were torn off when bitten. However, the four of us still ate the two chickens until there was no soup left.

After briefly tidying up, the four of us went back to the room together.

I'm responsible for the night watch.

The smell in the room was mixed with the smell of feet. As a bride who is used to the fragrant smell, I really couldn't bear it, so I opened the door and sat near the door.

The moon and stars were sparse in the sky outside, and the mountains and forests were dark and deep under the moon's shadow, like a sleeping giant hidden in the darkness.

If it wakes up, it will be a terrifying giant beast.

Perhaps this is the charm of the Qinling Mountains, but also its horror.

The oppression of looking up at the mountain made me extremely cautious, for fear that I would never be able to get out of the mountain again if I made a mistake.

With my thoughts, the night gets darker.

Soon I discovered a strange thing. The 100,000 mountains are as lush as splashed ink, but they are surprisingly quiet.

To be precise, the mountain forest in this area is surprisingly quiet, with no chirping of insects or birds.

I felt strange and stood up gropingly, but just as I was about to go out, Bai Xuan suddenly said: "Jiang Yi, it's better to do less than to do more. It's better to ignore the strange forces and chaos in this mountain!"

Liu Shifei also said: "We have a mission, let's not cause trouble!"

As soon as they opened their mouths, I realized that none of the three of them were sleeping.

And from what they said, it seemed like they knew what was going on here.

But why didn't I notice?

Is there anything beyond the Five Elements in this world?

The more I thought about it, the more curious I became.

After a while, I stood up deliberately holding my stomach and muttered: "The chicken is undercooked, I'm upset."

I said and walked out of the room.

When we got to the yard, the lights in the peasant woman's house were still on.

The oil lamp cast her shadow on the stained kraft paper window.

The peasant woman was not asleep yet, sitting on the bed as if mending clothes.

I frowned slightly.

There are few entertainment projects in rural areas, and due to the busy farming schedule, people go to bed early and get up early.

It’s already one o’clock in the morning, and my sister-in-law is still sitting?

Could it be that she misses and worries about her man?

Thinking of this, I also miss the bride a little bit. I wonder if she misses me too much when she is alone at home.

After thinking wildly for a while, I circulated the Five Elements Tao Qi in my body and looked around again.

The void on the roof is still filled with evil spirits, and the inside of the house is also peaceful and peaceful, without any evil spirits.

The evil spirit in the sky is the evil spirit that draws life from the ancestors and returns from the tomb.

They didn't enter the house, which means the owners are still alive.

There are no insects or birds chirping around. This is also because of the existence of evil spirits and animals are naturally sensitive.

to avoid this area.

When I thought about it this way, the confusion in my heart was dispelled.

But just when I was about to go back and continue meditating, my sister-in-law had mended the clothes and picked them up to shake them out.

When she shook, my scalp exploded.

The clothes in her hand have two hands and two legs, and they are all connected.

What kind of clothes was that in her hand? It was clearly a piece of human skin.

The moonlight was slightly cold, and I couldn't help but shiver.

But driven by curiosity, I still touched it. On the way there, under the shadow of the lamp, my sister-in-law suddenly raised her hand, pulled the hair on the back of her head, and tore it hard. The skin on her body was torn into two by her.

Half.

Under the shadow of the lamp, the torn skin was uneven and some were showing their teeth and claws.

As soon as the skin was torn open, a weasel's head emerged from the body.

I'm going to...

Painted skin!

The weasel shook his head in comfort, and then slowly tore off the remaining skin. A plump weasel jumped out, stood up, and stretched.

My heartbeat also suddenly accelerated.

I can't even see through this thing.

Could it be that it really became an immortal and jumped out of the Five Elements?

When I was about to get close, the weasel suddenly pushed open the window. I was so frightened that I hurriedly lay down on the ground, not daring to move.

The weasel stuck its pointed head out of the window, with an expression like an old smoker who hadn't had a cigarette all day. He suddenly lit a cigarette, took a breath of fresh air with enjoyment, and then puffed at the moon in the sky with two green eyes.

It also gradually turns red.

The corners of its mouth are slightly cracked, giving it a somewhat sinister look.

I lay on the ground and didn't dare to make a sound.

While it greedily absorbed the moonlight, I carefully crawled all the way back to the room.

As soon as I entered the room, several low figures appeared on the path in the distance.

As I got closer, I saw clearly that they were four weasels standing upright. They were in groups of two, carrying a cloth bag on their shoulders on a crossbar. I couldn't tell what it was.

The four weasels carried the things to the door of the sister-in-law's room, put them down and kowtowed into the house.

Because it was a line, I didn't dare to stick my head out because I couldn't see the big weasel inside the house.

I only saw the four weasels bowing and kowtowing before leaving. They looked very happy.

As soon as the four weasels left, the weasel inside the house ran out and stood upright, as tall as a calf.

hiss!

This is the first time I have seen such a big weasel.

After it came out, it lifted the bundle at the door into the yard, opened it and shook out two bloody human skins.

It looked left and right like it was choosing clothes, and finally chose one of the human skins to keep, put the other one back into the bag, and carried it back into the house.

Bai Xuan and the others couldn't lie down anymore and all got up.

I said, "It's already skinning people, and we don't care?"

Bai Xuan said: "The skin it peels off is from the recently deceased."

The weasel hid a piece of human skin and came out again, looking at our door warily.

When no abnormality was found, it picked up the human skin on the ground, put it in a basin and washed it like laundry.

He kept talking in his mouth and said proudly: These young people are still sensible, so there is no need to patch things up.

After washing it several times, it pulled the human skin apart with satisfaction, blew it out in one breath, and dried all the water on it.
