I don’t know how long it took, but it was around midnight.
"ah… "
A shrill scream suddenly came from the silent village, awakening the three people in the ancestral hall. The three people's eyes were locked on the door at the same time, and their weapons were already clenched in their hands.
but…
After this scream, silence returned. The three people looked at each other and then stood up. Yuan Ye took the lead in arriving at the door of the ancestral hall and reached out to gently push the door open.
"Squeak..."
The door made a heart-wrenching scraping sound, echoing in the silent night air.
All three people drew their swords, prepared for defense, and stared outside. But there was no trace of it, it was still empty.
Yuan Ye looked at Qin Shuang, Qin Shuang nodded, and Yuan Ye walked out of the gate, followed closely by Qin Shuang and Qin Yunxia, standing in the middle of the village road, looking back and forth. Only the three of them could be seen. Not the slightest trace.
The night was like a curtain, as if a cage enveloped the three of them. The air seemed to become stagnant and pressured, pressing towards the three of them. The houses on both sides seemed to have turned into monsters staring at the three of them. people.
Qin Yunxia's body had begun to tremble, but Yuan Ye's expression was normal. After all, he had experienced many wars, but he looked nervous. His nervousness came from Qin Shuang, and he was afraid that Qin Shuang would encounter any danger. Turning his head and looking at Qin Shuang in the moonlight, he saw Qin Shuang's face was indifferent.
Why is Qin Shuang so nervous
She had experienced more terrifying environments in her previous life than she does now. She looked towards the direction of the village and whispered:
"The screaming sound just now came from that direction."
"Yes!" Yuan Ye nodded, admiring Qin Shuang even more in his heart.
"Let's go take a look!"
"good!"
Yuan Ye walked toward the village head, and the three of them looked at the houses on both sides. After walking about fifty meters, the three people stopped and looked at a house. At this time, the door of the house was open, and the smell of blood wafted from inside.
The three people looked at each other. You must know that they had gone door to door before, and the door of every house was closed. Yuan Ye also knocked on this door, but there was no sound inside.
"Walk!"
Qin Shuang whispered the order.
"Tap tap tap..."
The footsteps of three people sounded in the night, echoing...
Standing at the door, the smell of blood hit my face. The room was dark and I couldn't see clearly. Yuan Ye took out the fire seal, and with the faint light of the fire, the three people walked into the house. Smelling the smell of blood, I came to the bedroom. The bedroom door was also open. Before entering the bedroom, I saw a person lying on the bed. The strong smell of blood came from his body.
Yuan Ye did not rush to the bed immediately, but walked into the room warily and searched everywhere. After making sure that no one was there, he came to the bed. At this time, Qin Shuang and Qin Yunxia also came to the bed. Just looking at the bed, Qin Yunxia turned her head.
"Ugh..."
Qin Yunxia was vomiting there, but Qin Shuang and Yuan Ye didn't even frown, but their faces were not good-looking. In front of them, a middle-aged man was lying on the bed, but his chest had a large opening and the heart inside was missing.
There were no signs of a struggle, and it seemed that someone had cut out the heart while the man was asleep. Yuan Ye and Qin Shuang looked at each other, and then pulled Qin Yunxia, who was still vomiting, out.
"Miss, what's going on?" Yuan Ye asked in a low voice.
Qin Shuang looked back and forth at the door, frowned slightly, and whispered:
"The door opens from the inside."
Yuan Zhiyi suddenly moved and looked at the door carefully, then a look of surprise appeared on his face.
"How can this be?"
The door was bolted from the inside, but there was only one person inside, and his heart was ripped out in his sleep. You can't say that the middle-aged man sleepwalked by himself, opened the door, then lay back on the bed and dug out his own heart, right
All right!
Even so, where is his heart
heart
Qin Shuang and Yuan Ye immediately lowered their heads and looked around for blood, but found no trace of blood.
At this time, even Qin Shuang and Yuan Ye felt a trace of fear in their hearts. This very reasonable sign made them nervous. Not to mention the current warriors Qin Shuang and Yuan Ye, even Qin Shuang did not encounter such strange things in his previous life.
"Miss..." Qin Yunxia hugged Qin Shuang's arm in fear.
Qin Shuang calmed down and said, "Let's go back first."
The three people returned to their ancestral hall again, but everyone's faces were not good-looking. Qin Yunxia even shrank and sat next to Qin Shuang. Qin Shuang patted Qin Yunxia gently and said:
"Yunxia, don't be afraid!" Then she looked at Yuan Ye and said, "What do you think?"
Yuan Ye shook his head and said: "No, I really can't figure out how the murderer got in. I've seen that door. It's not just a bolt. It has a hook. It can't be opened from the outside unless it is forced. Break in. But that’s not the case.”
Qin Shuang nodded and fell into deep thought. But he couldn't figure it out. Looking outside the ancestral hall, Qin Shuang said softly:
"There are clearly a lot of people in this village, but every door is closed. Even if someone screamed just now, no one came out. Something must have happened in this village, and there should be more than one death like this. , but many times, which made them fearful and afraid to come out."
Yuan Ye nodded and said: "It is very likely that such things happen at night, so every house is closed at night. They should come out at dawn."
"That's right, we'll ask when the time comes!"
"Yes!" Yuan Ye nodded and said, "Miss, you can rest. I'll keep watch."
Qin Shuang was speechless, nodded slightly, and closed her eyes. Qin Yunxia on the side was still holding Qin Shuang's arm, but she still kept her eyes wide open and did not dare to close them.
Yuan Ye picked up a piece of wood and placed it on the bonfire, making a "crackling" sound, then placed the long sword across his knees and faced the door of the ancestral hall.
The sky is getting brighter...
But there was still silence in the village, and Yuan Ye in the ancestral hall remained as motionless as a statue. Qin Yunxia had fallen asleep leaning on Qin Shuang's shoulder, but there was a look of panic on her sleeping face from time to time.
A ray of morning sun shone in from the gate of the ancestral hall, and it was as if the world suddenly became vivid.
