Chapter 370 Human-faced Xiao
The man who was speaking was called Wu Lao Da, who looked to be about thirty years old and was the eldest son of the village chief.
There were four people in the room at this time. In addition to Boss Wu, there were Village Chief Wu, Old Fourth Wu, and Wu Jiaojiao. These four people were a family.
Village chief Wu looked very unhappy after hearing what his eldest son said.
"That thing has been haunting Jiaojiao for so long. No matter if we make a paper figurine or ask a Taoist priest to come and see it, it's useless. The moon is big and round tonight, I'm afraid it will come looking for Jiaojiao again."
Wu Jiaojiao is the village chief's older daughter. She is in her early twenties and is pretty and charming.
Now her face was filled with anger in addition to fear.
She clenched her fists and couldn't help but said angrily:
"Dad, Big Brother, Fourth Brother, if there's really no other way, I'll just go with that thing. Worst case scenario, I'll die with it!"
Village chief Wu immediately frowned and looked at her with a distressed expression.
"Nonsense! Do you think that human-faced demon is so easy to deal with? If that were the case, your two brothers and I wouldn't have such a headache."
When Wu Jiaojiao heard this, her pretty face fell.
"What should I do? I don't want to get you into trouble."
About a month ago, out of curiosity, Wu Jiaojiao and her friends took their outdoor equipment and quietly went to Anle Mountain.
She was a student at the University of Geology and knew there were gems in Anle Mountain, so she wanted to take this opportunity to see if she could pick some out.
Anle Mountain has always been mysterious and dangerous. Even the locals dare not go deep into the mountain. At most, they just wander around the periphery and pick up some mountain products.
Therefore, local children have been taught by their parents not to enter Anle Mountain casually, especially not to walk inside, as it is extremely dangerous.
In the past, there were people who did not listen to advice, but without exception, those who did not listen to advice and went deep into Anle Mountain were never seen out again.
Wu Jiaojiao and her friends also knew that Anle Mountain was dangerous, so they didn't plan to go too deep, but just walked in from the outside.
However, Wu Jiaojiao and her friend's luck was obviously not very good. They entered the mountain after lunch. As they walked from the outside to the inside, the grass and trees became deeper and taller. When they passed a big river in the mountains, a thick fog suddenly rose around them.
Fog in the mountains is no small matter, especially heavy fog, which looks strange at first glance.
So Wu Jiaojiao and her friend didn't dare to walk around and found a relatively safe place to stay. But when the fog cleared, they looked up and found that it was already dark.
Wu Jiaojiao was afraid that her family would worry, so she didn't bother to look for the gems and walked back with her friends.
But something was very strange that night. The moon hung high in the night sky, round and bright. The moonlight shone through the tall trees in Anle Mountain, clearly illuminating the road ahead.
Not long after Wu Jiaojiao walked back, she suddenly heard a noise coming from behind. She turned around and saw something flashing by on the top of a tree behind her. It looked like a monkey.
Immediately afterwards, a fine sapphire fell into Wu Jiaojiao's hands.
She thought the monkey had dropped it accidentally, so she didn't think much about it and returned to the village with the gem and her friend.
After returning home, Wu Jiaojiao was very happy that she got a gem, and the trip was not in vain.
But one night after that, when Wu Jiaojiao was about to go to bed, she suddenly heard something knocking on the door and someone calling her name.
Wu Jiaojiao thought it was an acquaintance looking for her, and she thought the other party was a little tactless. After all, in the countryside, unless there was something urgent, almost no one would knock on other people's doors so late.
Just when Wu Jiaojiao was about to get up to see who came to see her so late at night, she suddenly realized something was wrong.
The voice calling her name was strange, vague and weird, something she had never heard before.
Therefore, Wu Jiaojiao ignored it.
But after waiting for a while, the knocking sound not only did not stop, but became even sharper, accompanied by the harsh sound of scratching the door.
The Wu family was woken up, and when Wu Dagang opened the door a crack, his clothes were torn.
When he saw it, his eyes widened immediately.
The person standing at their door looked like a human being, and his face also looked like a human being, but when you looked at him overall, he was just a monkey!
Mandrill!
These three words suddenly appeared in Wu Da's mind, and then he slammed the door shut tightly.
This thing actually exists, but how did it find its way to their house?
But closing the door was useless, the human-faced goblin continued to scratch at their door.
If this continues, it won’t be long before a hole is scratched in their door.
Hearing the strange voice outside the door calling her name, Wu Jiaojiao's sleepiness disappeared. She rubbed her arms and asked curiously:
"Brother, what is a human-faced goblin?"
Wu Da's face was serious.
"It's a kind of monster in stories. I heard it has a strange temper, is very capable, is good at creating illusions, and holds grudges."
Wu Jiaojiao was puzzled.
"Why is this monster haunting me?"
She didn't know it, so why was she shouting outside her own house so late at night?
Things that are born from monsters but not raised by monsters have no manners at all.
The human-faced goblin outside the door continued to speak in human language.
"Wu Jiaojiao, marry me."
Wu Jiaojiao's face changed when she heard this.
What the hell is this.
How could I marry a monster like that?
Its face is too big!
Later, Village Chief Wu remembered something and asked:
"Did you take something from it? Otherwise, it wouldn't have pestered you for no reason."
Wu Jiaojiao thought about it and the only thing she could think of was the beautiful sapphire.
She took out the sapphire, and the sound outside the door came again.
"If you accept my betrothal gift, you must marry me."
Wu Jiaojiao threw the sapphire away immediately.
"Then I don't want it anymore. I'll give it back to you."
But the next second, the thrown sapphire returned to her hand.
"It's too late."
That night, the door of the Wu family was scratched. After waiting until dawn, the human-faced goblin outside the door left a sentence "I will come again" before disappearing.
Later, the Wu family was worried about Wu Jiaojiao, so they used local folk remedies and asked someone to make a paper man. They thought that if the human-faced demon came again next time, they would use the paper man as a replacement.
It’s just a pity that when the human-faced goblin came again, it tore the paper man into pieces with one hand, making it completely useless.
Even if they invited the village Taoist priest to come and see the matter, it was of no avail.
And now, it was another night with a big and round moon. The Wu family was worried because they knew that the human-faced demon might come to their house again.
The Wu family was in a heavy mood and held things against the door.
The familiar sound of scratching at the door was heard.
Wu Jiaojiao couldn't help but yelled:
"Give up on this idea! I will never marry you!"
