"What do you think?"
Li Yunhua glanced at everyone, naturally thinking of himself as the leader.
The two followers quickly echoed:
"Everything should be done according to Brother Li's instructions. We have no objection."
After that, he looked up at Lu Changsheng and the others, as if to demonstrate.
Lu Changsheng smiled coldly in his heart, and said nothing.
He wanted to know what method Li Yunhua could come up with.
Being able to quickly find the strange and kill it will also benefit himself.
Yue Shulan also said nothing. She looked at Lu Changsheng, and they both fell silent.
Seeing this, Li Yunhua smiled slightly, quite complacent.
Then he continued:
"Since you can't ask anything, just cut the Gordian knot. The other party will definitely make another move. We just need to wait and see. When the time comes, we will rush up and kill this evil thing..."
Yue Shulan felt very contemptuous when she heard this.
Anyone with a normal brain can come up with this method.
The key is whether the guijue hiding in the dark will really do as he wishes and act rashly?
You know, as warriors, they have strong blood and qi, and they are extremely conspicuous at night like little suns.
As long as the guijue has consciousness, he will definitely not act easily.
However, she did not point it out, but said with an expression of approval: "I have no objection, what about Brother Lu?"
After that, she cast her beautiful eyes to Lu Changsheng.
"Then let's do it."
Lu Changsheng shrugged, looking indifferent.
Since Li Yunhua wanted to try this simple and crude method, he had no objection.
If it works, it would be the best. If it fails, just think of another way.
Soon everyone came to a consensus, and five people were assigned to guard one area each.
Li Yunhua naturally chose to guard the middle of the village.
The others each picked an area to guard.
Lu Changsheng chose the eastern area of the village.
After dividing their respective guarding areas, the few people dispersed.
At this time, the sky was gradually darkening, and the afterglow of the setting sun seemed to carry a trace of blood, scattered on the surrounding dead trees, which looked very strange.
After Lu Changsheng parted with the few people, he walked along the small earth slope and soon came to the courtyard of a house in the east of the village.
There were still a few white cloths hanging in front of the courtyard, fluttering in the wind.
"Squeak..."
He pushed open the shabby wooden door and walked in.
"Who is it..."
A middle-aged woman in linen clothes came out, her face very alert.
After seeing Lu Changsheng, she was stunned, and then she forced a smile: "It turns out that you are the official from the county, please come in quickly..."
She had also seen Lu Changsheng and his group during the day, so she naturally let down her guard.
"I am sorry to bother you here for a few days."
Lu Changsheng smiled kindly.
Then he walked into the house with the other party.
At this time, the woman's family was having dinner. On the tattered wooden table, there were several bowls of clear porridge.
There was no other food.
A little girl of five or six years old was eating with relish.
Seeing someone coming, the little girl looked at Lu Changsheng with curiosity.
Next to the girl was a middle-aged man with a vicissitudes of life.
After seeing the appearance of the person, the man knelt down directly.
"Please avenge our family, sir."
"Among those ten corpses, are there any members of your family?"
Lu Changsheng's face moved slightly, and he felt a little regretful.
The lives of poor people are already extremely difficult, and they are often attacked by evil spirits. It is simply worse than death.
"It was my son, who was killed more than ten days ago."
The middle-aged man burst into tears .
The woman next to him also started crying.
After a while, the two wiped their tears.
"I'm sorry to make you laugh."
The couple looked apologetic.
"Sir, please live in the master bedroom. The house is too dilapidated and I'm sorry to neglect you..."
"No need, I'll stay in the yard."
Lu Changsheng smiled and refused, then walked out of the hut and sat cross-legged in the yard.
As night fell, the air became colder, but since he had just mastered martial arts, he did not feel the slightest chill.
One night passed quickly, and Lu Changsheng did not find anything unusual.
Seeing that the evil spirit would not show up in a short time, he began to separate a wisp of his mind and control the pangolin to search for spiritual medicine.
For the next three days, Lu Changsheng searched for spiritual medicine while staying in the village.
He never found anything unusual.
However, he did find a few more spiritual medicines, which made him quite happy.
Another day passed like this, and still no strange things appeared.
This day, early in the morning.
Lu Changsheng frowned. This was not a solution. He
could not wait forever.
He decided to take the initiative.
When it was lunchtime, when the middle-aged couple returned from their farm work, Lu Changsheng got up and walked into the house.
He got straight to the point and asked,
"Brother Yang, before the incident, were there any unusual incidents in the village?"
As he spoke, he took out a candy and handed it to the little girl next to him.
"Thank you, Uncle Lu."
The little girl thanked him crisply. They had become familiar with each other in the past few days, and she was no longer afraid of Lu Changsheng.
Old Yang thought carefully for a while, then shook his head.
"The village is quite remote, with few outsiders coming and going, and everything is very calm."
"Did anything strange happen a few years ago?"
Lu Changsheng's eyes moved slightly, and he pushed the time forward for a long time.
Sure enough, the next words of the two of them stirred up a wave in his heart.
At this time, Yang's eyes suddenly lit up, and she spoke first,
"When you mention this, I remember some old things."
"Five years ago, a bride died in the village. She was only about sixteen or seventeen years old.
The story was widely spread in the village at that time and has been circulating for a long time, but then it was gradually forgotten." "
It is said that the bride had a lover, so she had to marry Lao Zhang, who was in his thirties in the village. Lao Zhang's family was quite wealthy, second only to the village chief..."
"Later, the bride hanged herself, and her lover went crazy a few years later, and Lao Zhang also died. This matter caused a big fuss at the time."
Old Yang on the side also nodded repeatedly.
"I went to see Lao Zhang's funeral. The death was so tragic..."
After saying this, there was a trace of fear in his eyes.
"Did Lao Zhang's eyes bulge out when he died..."
Lu Changsheng asked softly.
Lao Yang's pupils shrank, as if he thought of something.
"Could it be...?"
He was a little bit incredulous, and his whole body was trembling.
At this time, outside the wooden window, the moonlight was dancing, and the courtyard was very quiet.
Three or two night crows stood on the dead tree in the distance, and their dim eyes seemed to be full of malice.
"Is the crazy man still alive?"
Lu Changsheng asked.
"Yes, he is still alive..."
Old Yang and his wife nodded repeatedly like chickens pecking at rice.
"The other party's name is Peng Yuntian. If you want to find him, just go out of the yard and go east for a mile. There is a big locust tree in front of his broken yard."
Old Yang immediately told the address.
"Thank you, Brother Yang."
Lu Changsheng smiled slightly, took out a small piece of silver from his arms and put it on the wooden table.
Although it was less than one or two taels of silver, it was enough for several people to live for several months.
It's not that he doesn't want to give more. If he gives a few taels of silver, it might harm this family.
They can't keep it.
"Sir, this... can't be done."
The old Yang couple quickly waved their hands to refuse, with a look of panic on their faces.
In front of the two of them, the official Lu Changsheng was like a god descending from heaven. How dare they take his money.
"Use it to buy some delicious food for the children."
Lu Changsheng smiled, and then without waiting for the two to refuse, he walked out of the house,
taking two steps at a time, and soon disappeared in front of the two.
The old Yang couple came back to their senses, staring at Lu Changsheng's back, with gratitude on their faces.
"This Lord Lu is a good official."
