"That guy..." Li Yougui swallowed the word "dumb" that came to his mouth. He saw that Wen Liang's expression didn't change, so he continued, "I just wanted to ask, and I saw him with you this morning. Why did you break up suddenly?"

"He said that he had his own affairs, but we learned from Droktada. He nian usually lives with them. This time not only did not go back, but also acted separately from us. This is not in line with behavior. Logic, so she is very worried. "

Wen Liang played with the tobacco rod, not forgetting to observe the subtle expressions on Li Yougui's face. Although this man expressed his determination to work with them to deal with other power holders in Badong Village, but in the end, he was only enmity with the Zhao family, and would he reveal all the information that was not good for Badong Village?

"Li Yougui, do you know what He Nian is doing alone?" Wen Liang stared at Li Yougui's face, as if he didn't know much about it, and there was even confusion in those small eyes.

"Why do you ask me about that guy?" Li Yougui didn't understand, he scratched his face in doubt, "I don't know him well, if you ask me about the village, it's almost the same."

This was right in Wen Liang's heart, looking at Li Yougui who still didn't understand why, he asked back: "Then do you know what the Holy Child Sacrifice is?"

"Holy child sacrifice?" Li Yougui's expression became a little stiff for a moment, but he quickly returned to normal, "I haven't heard of it. Only shaman sacrifices are the most common in the village. In addition, there are rituals to invite immortals." one type……"

"Li Yougui, think it over before you talk." The smile on Wen Liang's face disappeared in the blink of an eye, and his expression sank, like a criminal policeman interrogating a prisoner, "You really don't know about holy boy sacrifices?"

The empty hall fell silent for a moment, and the three of them stared like torches, while Li Yougui, who was stared at by them, licked the corners of his lips uncomfortably, and gave an affirmative answer: "Well, I really don't know."

Wen Liang didn't speak, Xie Jin and Ji Duan also didn't speak, Li Yougui bit the bullet and held on in the strange tacit understanding of the three, "So what is that? Why did you ask me this suddenly."

"That's a kind of sacrifice ceremony we saw in the Zhao family. Droktada didn't know. I thought you would know as the Li family." Wen Liang put the long rod to smoke on the table. He looked at Li Yougui.

"Zhao Dong let us see this information on purpose, there must be a purpose in it, but we really can't connect the Holy Child Sacrifice with other clues, you are now a grasshopper tied to the same rope with us, really no Hiding something from us?"

Li Yougui still lowered his head, he didn't look at the faces of any of them, he just stared at the cigarette stick that Wen Liang had just placed on the table, "No."

"Well, I thought you knew." Wen Liang shrugged, and didn't say anything more, "In that case, let's discuss how to find He Nian and get along well with the villagers, shall we?"

"..."

Half an hour later, Li Yougui frowned and listened to Wen Liang's narrative. He seemed a little confused, grabbing the oil that was almost stuck on the scalp on his head, "In other words, Droktada said Is the sacrifice ceremony participating in Shaman? "

"Yes, he asked us to coexist peacefully with the villagers as much as possible in the week before the ceremony, but the local villagers in Badong Village tend to reject us, and this is also the most difficult obstacle to overcome."

Xie Jin and Ji Duan sat together. He leaned forward when he spoke, but deliberately kept a certain distance from Li Yougui who was opposite him. In the conversation just now, even he, who usually has the purest thoughts, could see Li Yougui's unnaturalness.

Although no one said anything, they all knew that Li Yougui was hiding something from them.

Because they couldn't force the other party to force it, they could only look for logical loopholes in the ensuing conversation. This was a decision the three of them had come up with before Li Yougui came.

"How should I put it, although I used to call He Nian dumb before, but other than that, I really didn't do anything excessive to him, so I only have a relationship with him that I can talk to. Where did he go? I don't have any clues, but Zhao Guangsheng always takes the lead in bullying He Nian, so he should have some clues."

Li Yougui always felt that the three stares on the other side made him a little numb, and he shrunk his neck subconsciously, "Well, as for the villagers, they are not as difficult to deal with as you imagine. Incorrect ideological guidance, that’s why we exclude outsiders.”

"What are we going to do?" Ji Duan raised his eyebrows. Dealing with ordinary people is something he is more comfortable with. He just needs to talk to people and talk to the devil. If the villagers in Badong Village are really as easy to deal with as Li Yougui said, He did have a good idea.

Li Yougui's expression was distorted for a moment, and Li Yougui squeezed his eyes, "Integrate into their lives, get close to them at the most fundamental level, and use your actions to show that you have no malicious intentions. Although the death of the old man who had a relationship with you once caused a stir in the village. There was quite a disturbance, and there were rumors in the village that it was your arrival that caused the death."

The expression of the three people on the opposite side was stagnant at the same time. No wonder they when they went from the Zhao family to Droktada's wooden house, the villagers passing by were so strange that it turned out to be because of the unnecessary rumors.

"I suspect that it was Zhao Guangsheng and Gao Quan who did it, because they had a conflict with the old man when they were in the ancestral hall that day, and after that, they went in the same direction as the old man."

Li Yougui dipped his fingers in some water, and drew a very crude map on the desktop, "The old man's home is in the northwest corner of the village, while Zhao's and Gao's are in the center of the village, guess what they are going to do with the past ?”

"Murder to silence, then blame us for this murder, and then spread rumors in the village." Wen Liang leaned back, the old wooden chair made an unpleasant "creak" sound, "Then his father Zhao Dong Bringing a group of people to the door to question, indirectly confirming our identity as the murderer."

The low smile in his mouth was no longer suppressed, and Wen Liang's laughter became louder and louder, and finally his laughter echoed in the huge Li residence, "That old thief Zhao Dong has a good plan, but he has no plans. Expect the variables in the middle."

"Li Yougui, let me ask you." Wen Liang wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes, took a deep breath and calmed down, "Aren't you afraid that we are murderers just like what Zhao Dong arranged? What is the purpose of you being uncharacteristically with us?" Stand in line."

"Because I want to get rid of Badong Village, I said it from the beginning." Li Yougui's eyes were firm, as if he had a very strong goal from the beginning, "I want to get out of here before I am completely swallowed by evil, and see Look at the outside world."

"You said your parents died while fighting the Zhao family for the head of the five clans, don't you want revenge?" Wen Liang held his chin with one hand and stared intently at Li Yougui's face.

Li Yougui didn't have much mood swings. Even when he mentioned his deceased father and mother, his eyes dimmed, "I think, how could I not want to. But my father's biggest wish during his lifetime was for me to leave Badong Village and get rid of it. This fateful cursed place."

"There are some things that you urbanites can't understand. The most primitive desires will arouse the deepest evil thoughts of human nature. In this closed village, generation after generation of brainwashing is carried out. This kind of rotten thinking will make Badong Village will eventually perish."

Li Yougui's face flickered in the windbreaker, and there was an inexplicable emotion in his eyes, as if he was determined after seeing through many things, "The farthest place I've been to is the small county town of Lipu County. I successfully used your strength to leave, and I want to go to a farther place to see."

"It's a very good idea." Wen Liang gave Li Yougui a thumbs up and affirmed, "When everything is over, you may also go to Tan Jiang with us to see the beautiful metropolis, Tan Jiang welcomes you."

Li Yougui gave a rare smile. He lowered his eyes, and the light of the windbreak lamp reflected on his face and jumped, "Let's talk about it when it's over."

"You only have seven days, just do as I say, integrate into the villagers' life in the most ordinary way, and get most people to accept you before the sacrifice."

Li Yougui glanced at the time, got up and walked to the half-open window not far away, "It's getting late, I'll ask others about He Nian's whereabouts, if there is any news, I'll come to you at this time of the day."

The not tall body moved out of the window, Li Yougui once again quietly hid in the night and left.

The three people in front of the wooden table looked at each other, and after a long time, Ji Duan spoke first: "Li Yougui seems to know something. What is the so-called holy child sacrifice, so that he can keep his mouth shut."

"Perhaps it's really a sacrifice of a living person, using a child under the age of one." Wen Liang also had a headache. He scratched his half-scattered white hair and sighed heavily.

"Hey, you have also heard what he said just now, who is the source of the evil thoughts, and whether the holy child sacrifice is carried out at the same time on the basis of the existing shaman sacrifice, or is someone secretly doing it behind everyone's back? matter?"

"I guess that the source is mostly Zhao Yan, or the Zhao family." Ji Duan also learned Wen Liang and leaned back to his neck, hoping that this would make your mind clearer.

There is no answer, even if someone is deliberately embarrassed, they can only rely on these scattered clues to constantly explore the truth behind this strange and terrifying sacrifice.

"Uncle Xie, what do you think?" Ji Duan finally got a little normal anger, he kicked the ground with the soles of his feet, and leaned back at a 45° angle with the chair, "Do you think that behind the sacred child sacrifice with many mysteries, there will be Are the Zhao family doing some shit?"

Xie Jin looked at Ji Duan's dangerous actions, hesitated for a moment, but did not intervene, "Well, since the book that recorded the sacrifice of the holy boy came from the Zhao family, it would naturally have nothing to do with them, but if the sacrifice of the holy boy really exists, I will I always feel that they are not alone behind this.”

I hope to solve the dungeon of Badong Village within forty chapters, but I didn't deliberately control it.
