The three children hugged their parents and cried.
Lin Xi went over to check and found that she was not possessed and her soul was original, but the demonic aura around her was very strong.
She asked, "What did you encounter?"
The slightly older Huahua stopped crying and said intermittently, "Sister... hiccup... there's a monster, a very ugly monster..."
"A really, really handsome guy saved us and told us not to wander off, to study hard and improve ourselves every day, to build our hometown and our country... I'll never be distracted again... Waaah..."
A handsome guy? Only that monk is so narcissistic.
Lin Xi frowned slightly. Why did Shi Kong let these three children go and even threaten them to study hard?
I'm increasingly unable to understand this monk. Is he a bad person or a good person?
"Waaaaah, waaaah..."
The three children cried incessantly, their faces turning bright red.
The village chief touched their foreheads. "They're burning hot. They have a fever. Get them to the county hospital right away."
"It's not a fever, you were just frightened." Lin Xi took out three amulets and gave one to each person.
The three children instinctively grabbed the yellow talisman, the blush on their cheeks disappeared, and they fell asleep in their parents' arms.
The village chief was shocked. "Huh? It's not hot anymore. What's the principle behind this?"
Lin Xi glanced at him. "One talisman costs a thousand. We'll settle the bill later."
The village chief nodded emphatically, "No problem, the village can afford it."
Over the years, he has been selling agricultural products online, and Hualu Village has become richer year by year. A few thousand yuan is nothing, as long as the villagers are safe and sound.
Lin Xi said calmly, "The children will be fine after a nap at home. Don't go into the mountains for a while."
The parents of the three children thanked them in the local dialect, saying, "Thank you for your help."
Lin Xi waved and continued walking along the cement road.
In Hualu Village, every house is neat and similar, except that the house at the end of the village is one floor higher than the others.
Lin Xi gave a wink, and the village chief immediately understood. "There are four people in this family. The head of the household drinks every day, and his wife is a shrew who has insulted everyone in the village."
“My son is in poor health and needs medication. My daughter is well-behaved and sensible; she does all the housework, big and small, but…”
The village chief had a strange expression. "It seems the daughter isn't his biological child... His family relationships are complicated; I don't know how to describe it."
Lin Xi's expression was indifferent. "It seems? You don't know?"
The village chief scratched his head. "This couple never had any children. During the few years I was away at university, they suddenly had a daughter and a son. The aunt next door said the daughter wasn't their biological child, but the son was."
"I don't know the specifics, you don't know, but this couple is very difficult to deal with. They insisted on building a house one floor higher than everyone else's. I'm really impressed."
Leopard Coin asked in confusion, "They don't sound like good people, why don't you chase them away?"
The village chief glared at him. "What are you talking about? Their household registration is here. Who dares to drive them away?"
The way this society behaves makes me doubt for the second time whether the blond guy is a real policeman.
Whether the police are real or fake doesn't matter; the little girl just helped the villagers, so she's definitely not a bad person.
The village chief took a deep breath and knocked on the courtyard gate, "Li Yunda, open the door!!"
There was no response, so the village chief knocked on the door harder. "I'm the village chief, open the door!"
"Hey, what's with all the noise? Can't a person get some sleep?!"
The door was opened from the inside, and a middle-aged man with a large belly came out wearing slippers, cursing under his breath.
"Village chief, don't you know my Yaozu is seriously ill? Who are you trying to scare to death by knocking so loudly?"
"I'm warning you, if anything happens to Yaozu, you'll be sorry!!"
The village chief rolled his eyes and retorted without hesitation, "Going to sleep at eight o'clock? Are you a pig?"
Li Yunda spat out a mouthful of phlegm and stomped on it twice, causing the yellowish-green phlegm to burst open.
The village chief pulled out his notebook. "Spitting indiscriminately is uncivilized behavior. You'll lose three points."
The score was related to the year-end bonus. Li Yunda's face contorted with rage, his eyes wide with fury. "You dare?"
The village chief stood tall and proud, "I'm the village chief, of course I dare."
Li Yunda was clearly intimidated. "My Yaozu is about to fall asleep. You'd better leave now, or don't blame me for being impolite."
The village chief stopped him, saying, "You're not allowed to leave until you've finished speaking."
Li Yunda snorted coldly, "This is my home, I'm in charge, who do you think you are?"
"Get out of my way!"
He gave the village chief a hard push, as if to close the door.
Lin Xi braced herself against the door with one hand and caught the village chief who was about to fall with the other, saying, "You're the one who should get out of the way!"
The village chief's heart raced.
Holy crap! That girl is so cool.
Lin Xi let go of her hand. "Stand still."
"Thank you." The village chief shook his head, wondering what he had been thinking.
He took two steps forward and pulled out his notebook again. "Insulting a distinguished guest, deduct six points."
Li Yunda suddenly pulled a long knife from his waistband. "If you dare to confiscate it, I'll kill you!"
The silver-white blade flashed before his eyes, startling the village chief.
Li Yunda is acting strangely. Although he is usually arrogant, he has never been this arrogant. He dares to draw his knife against the village chief and is not afraid of going to jail.
They kept deducting points until they were all gone, but it was tough on Li Yunda's daughter, whose small body bore the burden of the whole family's work. They decided to leave her with a few points.
Li Yunda's eyes were bloodshot as he charged at the crowd with his knife.
Leopard Coin unleashed a cat punch, striking him in the chest. The powerful rebound caused pain in his tiger's mouth.
"Wow, his body is so stiff."
Leopard Coin clenched its fist, about to attack again, when Lin Xi moved, "You all step back, he's not human."
In an instant, Li Yunda was filled with demonic energy, and the skin on his face peeled off inch by inch, revealing the surging flesh and blood underneath.
Yun Yan glanced at the monster encyclopedia and said, "Grandmaster, this is the Face-Smearing Demon."
The Face-Smearing Demon appeared in southern Yunnan and southern Hunan a thousand years ago. It liked to eat human skin and disguised itself as a human to hunt prey.
Those eaten by it lose their facial features, leaving only the back half of their heads; this is how the bear brought back the corpses.
The culprit hidden in Hualu Village is the Face-Smearing Demon, who ate Li Yunda and disguised himself as a human by donning human skin.
Yun Yan took out the Money Sword. "Little Grandmaster, I'll help you."
"No need, it's just a little demon."
Lin Xi charged forward empty-handed and kicked the long sword away.
Before Li Yunda could react, he was choked and fell to the ground, unable to move. His face was completely ripped off, and chunks of bright red flesh smashed off.
The village chief was stunned; his worldview collapsed.
What the heck? Where am I? Who am I?
He watched helplessly as Li Yunda transformed into a skinless monster, which the little girl then defeated with her bare hands.
Has the world gone mad? Or has he gone insane?
The mind-blowing events continued as Li Yunda struggled, shouting, "Let me go!!"
Lin Xi threw out a lightning talisman, and purple lightning pierced through layers of flesh.
"Ahhh!!!"
Li Yunda screamed a few times and turned into a scarecrow, with a fresh human skin lying next to him.
The village chief's eyes widened like saucers. "H-H-H-! Am I hallucinating?!"
His worldview was completely shattered!
