"..."

Yu Xiao was really dumbfounded by this operation. She never expected that this ghost would fight so hard.

In fact, Yu Xiao did not intend to kill this ghost. She originally thought that it would be difficult to find clues from the villagers, so it would be better to catch a ghost and ask. Who knew that this ghost would be so strong and so unyielding.

Yu Xiao only had time to throw a talisman into the cesspool. When the first lightning appeared, she knew something was wrong. She hurriedly fled from the toilet, only to hear a loud noise behind her.

Yu Xiao's head buzzed, and she suddenly opened her eyes.

She widened her eyes in horror. It was dark in front of her, and the faint moonlight shone in from the window. She scratched around and grabbed the quilt and sheets.

She woke up from her bed. Was everything just a dream?

Yu Xiao was about to sit up when she suddenly felt a pain on her right arm. She rolled up her sleeves and squinted her eyes to take a closer look, and found that it was a tooth mark. She was not dreaming, she had really encountered a ghost just now.

After figuring it out, she hurriedly got out of bed. Just as she was about to try to wake everyone up again, she smelled a very faint odor. Yu Xiao sniffed, squatted down, and then she found a half-burned incense stick under her bed.

She took the incense stick in her hand, and then went to look under other beds. In the whole room, only her bed had incense sticks. Looking around, everyone was breathing steadily. Was it because of the incense sticks under her bed

that she was the only one who encountered a ghost? Yu Xiao was a little angry. If she hadn't had the talisman, she would have been eaten by the ghost just now.

Yu Xiao was angry. A ghost would not be so ritualistic when eating a person. The person burning incense under her bed must be a villager. She didn't plan to call for help. She put on her shoes and walked out alone.

The situation outside was almost the same as before. Yu Xiao followed the route in her memory and found the toilet. The toilet was torn into pieces at this time. The strange thing was that the toilet should have been very noisy after being bombed, but it was so quiet here and there was no one.

Yu Xiao suppressed her doubts and walked towards the ancestral hall. Zhang Feng said before that he saw the death list of the village in the ancestral hall, and she wanted to see it too.

The ancestral hall is one of the brick and tile houses in the village. When Yu Xiao was about to go in, she heard voices talking inside. She quickly hid in a dark corner, thought for a moment, took out her sunglasses from her pocket and put them on.

Through the wall, she could see that the ancestral hall was brightly lit. In the house next to it, there were several coffins that had not been painted yet, and several men were standing around the coffins with tools.

Just as Yu Xiao was wondering if it was because too many people in the village died too quickly, so they had to work overtime overnight to make coffins, she heard those people talking.

"The village chief said that offering sacrifices to outsiders can appease the anger of the gods. Will this really work?"

"Well, how should I know if it will work? But offering sacrifices to outsiders is better than offering sacrifices to us."

"That's true."

"I really hope this works. Too many people have died in the village..."

As he was talking, an old man walked in from outside. The old man had combed hair and his clothes were more exquisite, which was obviously different from other villagers.

Several men who were painting coffins saw him and stood up quickly.

"Village chief, you are here!"

Good guy, it turns out that this old man is the black-hearted village chief. Yu Xiao glared at the village chief through the wall, turned around and left quietly. Before, she thought that those coffins were made for the villagers. She just counted them and there were exactly nine coffins.

No wonder the villagers held a meeting as soon as they entered the village today, it turned out they had bad intentions.

They wanted to sacrifice outsiders, Yu Xiao was a little worried, how could she turn her Xiaozhen and Sister Lan into insiders?

While thinking, she walked to the wall of the village chief's house.

When she was looking for ancient trees during the day, she had already figured out where the village chief's house was. She took out her sunglasses again and observed outside the village chief's house for a while. She saw a person sleeping in a room, and suddenly the person on the bed coughed heartbreakingly. The person in the other room heard the sound and hurriedly got up. It was the village chief's wife.

The village chief's wife entered the room with her clothes on, poured a glass of water and handed it to the person on the bed. While feeding him water, she patted the man's back with heartache, muttering: "Good boy, good boy, my sweetheart, cut his flesh..."

Yu Xiao took this opportunity to sneak into the village chief's room, relighted the half-burned incense, and stuffed it under the village chief's bed.

After that, she did not stay, and quickly returned to her residence to wake everyone up.

Everyone was sleeping soundly. Strangely enough, they were not such unvigilant people.

Although they were woken up, no one had any opinions, especially Zhang Feng, who did not even hum.

Zhao Lan adjusted his hat and said sleepily: "Xiaoxiao, what's wrong?"

Yu Xiao said in a low voice: "A ghost came to our room just now."

"What?!"

Everyone was shocked and woke up instantly. Lu Xun was particularly shocked, "Really? Why didn't I feel anything at all?"

Yu Xiao didn't say anything, she rolled up her sleeves and showed everyone the teeth marks on her arm.

"A ghost bit me." Yu Xiao said, "I got up and called you, but you didn't respond. So I chased it out alone..." "

Wait." The fat on Wang Yang's face trembled, "You mean you chased the ghost out?"

"Yeah." Yu Xiao seemed to be talking about something very ordinary, "I thought it would be difficult to find clues from the villagers, so why not catch a ghost and ask."

"..."

Except for Zhao Lan and Zhou Xiaozhen, everyone looked at Yu Xiao with complicated eyes.

Yu Xiao touched his face, "What's wrong?"

"...Nothing." Lu Xun, "Go on."

Yu Xiao: "After I chased out...I lost him, and then I suddenly woke up and found myself still in bed. I thought I was dreaming, but when I found the teeth marks on my arm, I knew I was not dreaming. I found half a burning incense stick under my bed, and I think this may be related to the fact that the ghost only bit me after it appeared."

"Does it still hurt?" Zhou Xiaozhen held Yu Xiao's arm distressedly.

"A little bit." Yu Xiao remembered that she had another talisman, so she took out a talisman from her pocket and stuck it on her arm. The talisman burned automatically and soon turned into ashes. The teeth marks on Yu Xiao's arm also disappeared, and his arm became smooth and white again.

The people who watched all this silently: "..."

Is it necessary to use a talisman worth ten points for such a shallow row of teeth marks? Can't it just be left to heal on its own? It will only take a day or two.

Yu Xiao continued, "I guessed that it was done by the villagers, so I sneaked out and saw them making nine coffins overnight in the ancestral hall. From their conversation, I learned that the villagers believed that they had offended the gods, so the plague was sent down. They had a gathering this afternoon, and the village chief said that he would offer sacrifices to outsiders and pray for the gods to calm their anger."

"Shit!"

Everyone was angry. Fortunately, Yu Xiao discovered the village's plan. Otherwise, they would just be on guard against ghosts, and they would not know when they would be ambushed by the villagers.

Everyone talked at once, and took turns using dirty words to express their feelings.

Lu Xun thought of something and said to Yu Xiao, "By the way, where is the half stick of incense? Bring it here for me to see."

"I've already used it up." Yu Xiao said.

Lu Xun was a little confused, "How did you use it up?"

Yu Xiao smiled mysteriously and said, "I relit the incense and threw it under the village chief's bed."

Everyone: "..."

Zhou Xiaozhen was so impressed that her eyes sparkled, "Sister Xiao, you are so great."

For a moment, no one knew what to say, until Sun Yun asked weakly, "Then... what should we do next?"

Yu Xiao said as a matter of course, "Of course, sleep. I've been busy for half the night and I'm so sleepy."

After that, she lifted the quilt and lay on the bed, closing her eyes under everyone's gaze.

Half a minute later, Yu Xiao: "zzzZ"

Everyone: "..."

The next morning, Yu Xiao was woken up by the noise. She sat up from the bed. There was a lot of noise outside, as if countless people were gathered together and quarreling, and there were faint cries.

At this moment, she was the only one left in the room. She walked out and found that everyone was gathered at the door looking out.

"What happened?" Yu Xiao walked over.

Everyone turned around to look at him with complicated expressions.

Lu Xun said, "The village chief is dead."

"Ah." Yu Xiao hurried to the door and saw many people gathered outside. The village chief's wife, who was wearing a flowered gown, was crying and shouting.

Yu Xiao watched silently for a while, then turned around and asked, "Have you figured out the cause of the village chief's death?"

"Not really." Lu Xun said, "We heard that the village chief died a tragic death, and even his body was incomplete. I suspect he was killed by a ghost, but the strange thing is that everyone in the village is convinced that the village chief was punished by the plague god. The reason they gave was also very strange, because there was a strong stench in the village chief's room."

Zhou Xiaozhen asked, "What kind of stench?"

Lu Xun's expression was intriguing. After a while, he described it, "It's the smell of excrement."

After that, he said in confusion, "Strange, do ghosts have smells? What kind of ghosts smell like feces?"

Yu Xiao lowered his head silently, looking intently at his toes.

"We are going to look for clues in the home of the first person who died of illness in the village." Lu Xun asked Yu Xiao, "What about you? Do you want to go with us?"

"Oh, I believe you can definitely find useful clues." Yu Xiao said politely, "We won't go, we are going to look for Gu Shu."

Lu Xun was silent for a while and asked, "Ask him if he has a wife?"

"No need for that, he has already answered me." Yu Xiao said, "We are going to ask him other questions this time."

...

Walking leisurely on the country road like taking a walk, Zhou Xiaozhen asked curiously, "What questions are you going to ask Gu Shu this time? And you brought us with you."

Obviously Zhao Lan was also very curious about this, staring at Yu Xiao eagerly.

Yu Xiao did not answer. She asked the two to wait at the gate of Gu Shu's yard, and she went in alone and knocked on the door.

After knocking for three minutes, Gu Shu finally opened the door, "Is there something?" "

Yes." Yu Xiao said, "I have a question for you."

"..." Gu Shu's cheeks twitched at the familiar words, "Is it the same question as last time?"

"No." "

Okay." Gu Shu breathed a sigh of relief unconsciously, "Ask it."

Yu Xiao looked up at Gu Shu's handsome and elegant face, and asked solemnly: "Doctor Gu Shu, are you willing to marry me?"

Gu Shu: "..."

Zhao Lan at the door: "..."

Zhou Xiaozhen was excited and angry, "Sister Xiao is lying, she said she only likes living people."
