Although most people in their village suspected that someone was behind the incident, more and more people were falling unconscious.
Plus the warning given by Red Mask when he left and the strange way he disappeared.
After a long time, the villagers of Ling Village became panic-stricken.
They tried to invite a Taoist priest and report to the government, but it was of no use. People in the village still fell into a coma every day.
In the end, one family's daughter was sent to the mountains.
Since ancient times, girls have not been as popular as boys. The villagers found that when girls were sent to unconscious people, they woke up, so they continued this custom.
But the frequency of this mountain god asking for a girl is too high, from every ten days to every three days now.
Most of the girls in their village had been married off when they were of a certain age. There were not many girls in the village, and people from other villages were afraid to get close after hearing that something strange was happening in their village.
Therefore, even though he was the village chief, he could not prevent his daughter Xiaoyu from being chosen.
In fact, he disagreed the first time, but he went to the small town to seek help at that time, and when he came back, the person had been sent away.
"I was lucky enough to have a few years of education and know that there are no ghosts or gods in this world. But those villagers have spent half their lives working in the fields and have always been afraid of ghosts and gods. After the first time, I couldn't convince them to stop."
The village chief covered his face with his hands and sighed helplessly. He regretted countless times that he should have been more decisive at that time, so that so many girls would not have been in danger.
For the past two months, he has been running around to other villages and towns looking for solutions day and night, but their village has become a well-known village of doom, and no one dares to come again.
"Yesterday, a vegetable vendor in the village saw two people who were obviously gang members. We really had no choice but to come to you for help."
He said as he knelt down again with Xiaoyu.
"My two young men, I'm not afraid of death, but my daughter is so young, and the other girls are so young. If I could, I would rather die, but the mountain god only wants these girls."
He knew that with the people ahead, he couldn't save his daughter, but now the gangsters had come to their remote village, what if they had a way?
He had a son at an old age, and if possible, he really didn't want to see Xiaoyu being sent away like this.
"Please help our village. We are willing to give you all our savings over the years."
After the village chief finished speaking, he saw that Tan Manxing and the other man were silent. He hesitated for a moment and then gritted his teeth and continued.
"Don't worry, young man. If you can't solve the problem, you can still take the silver. I just ask you to go and take a look."
Although he was just a small village chief, he had seen some of the world. Looking at the temperament of Tan Manxing and the other man, he decided to give it a try.
At least the two of them should be better than the fortune-telling Taoist priests who cheat people on the street.
Tong Le Ren: Just call my name~
Although he, an ordinary citizen, could not enter the martial arts world, he had heard that there was a sect in the martial arts world that was good at using poisons and witchcraft and had extremely high martial arts skills.
Tan Manxing's outfit made him look very powerful. He only hoped that they could defeat those evil people who were pretending to be ghosts.
He didn't believe that there were ghosts in the world, and that man was most likely a scoundrel who practiced some evil ways.
"Young men, please save me."
Xiaoyu looked at her old father who was getting very old because of this incident and knocked her head hard. She heard that she would never come back after being sent to the mountain.
She was also very scared, but the uncles and aunts in the village warned her not to run away.
Their daughters have all been sent there, so she has to go too.
But she was really scared.
Thinking of herself and her good friend who had been sent away, she kowtowed with tears falling from her eyes.
Tan Manxing had been standing by and watching until she saw Xiaoyu, who was younger than her junior sister, crying and shaking. Then her calm emotions were like a stone thrown into the air, causing waves.
"You guys get up, I'll go check it out."
Anyway, we decided to go to that village to see the situation and help Xiaoyu by the way.
Seeing that she actually agreed, Tong Leren happily helped the village chief and the other man up.
"Village chiefs, please stand up first and don't get excited. Whether the problem can be solved depends on the specific situation. But don't worry, we will definitely help you solve it if we can."
Tong Leren looked at the two people with great joy, but was worried that they would be disappointed in the end, so he gave them some warnings in advance.
"Yes, yes, young men, just do your best."
The village chief ignored the pain in his head and tried to speak with a smile.
For a small village like theirs, the government only sent a small soldier after they reported the matter to the authorities.
If they hadn't unexpectedly met Tan Manxing and the other two here, no one would have cared even if everyone in their village had died.
"Wait for me here in the evening at 4 p.m."
After Tan Manxing finished speaking to the village chief and the other two, he quickly walked past them and left the house.
Tong Leren watched Tan Manxing leave, waved to the village chief and the other man, and quickly followed him.
"Miss Tan, I want to go too. Please take me with you."
He understood from the conversation just now that she planned to go alone and did not intend to take him with her.
When Tan Manxing heard this, he stopped and turned to look at Tong Leren.
"I won't protect you."
Tong Leren expressed indifference when he heard this.
"Don't worry, Miss Tan, I don't need your protection. I still have the money you gave me, so I should protect you."
He said this in a low voice.
"I sensed the aura of a corpse coming from those two people. I'm afraid their village is a bit dangerous. It would be better for us to be together to look after them."
When Tan Manxing heard Tong Leren say this, he began to think more highly of him.
"I'll walk by myself. If you're okay, go back to the inn and wait for me."
She didn't care why Tong Le Ren wanted to follow, but she had some personal business to attend to right now.
"Okay, okay. Miss Tan, I'll go buy some dry food for the journey."
