Chapter 27

"What do you think?"

Li Yunhua's gaze swept across the crowd, naturally regarding himself as the leader.

The two followers hurriedly echoed: "Everything should be according to Brother Li's instructions; we have no opinion."

After speaking, they also looked up at Lu Changsheng and the other, as if demonstrating.

Lu Changsheng sneered coldly in his heart and didn't speak.

He wanted to know what method Li Yunhua could think of.

Being able to quickly find the anomaly and then kill it, he would also benefit.

Yue Shulan also didn't say a word, looked at Lu Changsheng, and both fell silent.

Seeing this, Li Yunhua smiled slightly, quite self-satisfied.

Then he continued: "Since we can't ask anything, let's just cut the Gordian knot. The other party will definitely make a move again. We'll just wait for the rabbit, and then swarm up and kill this evil thing..."

Hearing this, Yue Shulan felt very disdainful in her heart.

Anyone with a normal brain could think of this method.

The key is whether the anomaly hiding in the dark will really do as he wishes and make a move rashly?

You know, as warriors, their blood and Qi are thick, and they are extremely conspicuous in the night like small suns.

As long as that anomaly has consciousness, it definitely won't make a move easily.

However, she didn't point it out, but instead said with a look of agreement: "I have no opinion, what about Brother Lu?"

After speaking, she cast her beautiful eyes toward Lu Changsheng.

"Then let's do it this way."

Lu Changsheng shrugged, looking indifferent.

Since Li Yunhua wanted to try this simple and rude method, he had no opinion.

If it succeeded, it would naturally be best; if it failed, he would think of another way.

Soon the group unified their ideas and each guarded a regional area.

Li Yunhua chose to sit in the middle of the village.

The others each chose a side to guard.

Lu Changsheng chose the east area of the village.

After dividing their respective guarding ranges, the few dispersed.

At this time, the sky was getting dark, and the sunset glow seemed to carry streaks of blood, scattered on the surrounding withered trees, looking very strange.

After Lu Changsheng parted with the few, he walked along the small hill slope and soon arrived in front of a household in the east of the village.

White cloth was still hanging in front of the courtyard, fluttering in the wind.

"Creak..."

He pushed open the dilapidated wooden door and walked in.

"Who is it..."

A middle-aged woman in hemp clothes walked out, looking very vigilant.

Seeing Lu Changsheng, her face was stunned, then she squeezed out a smile reluctantly: "So it's the official from the county town, please come in..."

During the day, she had also seen Lu Changsheng and his group, so naturally, she let down her guard.

"I'll disturb you for a few days."

Lu Changsheng smiled kindly.

Then he walked into the house with the other party.

At this time, the woman's family was eating dinner, and on the broken wooden table were a few bowls of clear porridge.

Besides that, there was no other food.

A five or six-year-old girl was eating with relish.

Seeing someone coming, the little girl looked at Lu Changsheng with curiosity.

Beside the girl was a middle-aged man, looking very vicissitudinous.

After seeing the newcomer's appearance, the man knelt down directly.

"Please avenge our family, my lord."

"Are those ten corpses your family?"

Lu Changsheng's expression shifted slightly, feeling a bit regretful.

The life of poor people was already extremely difficult, and they had to be invaded by demons and evils from time to time, which was simply worse than death.

"It's my son, who was killed more than ten days ago."

The middle-aged man cried bitterly.

The woman on the side also followed and cried.

A moment later, the two wiped their tears.

"Let the lord see a joke."

The couple looked full of apologies.

"The lord should live in the master bedroom; the house is too dilapidated to neglect the lord..."

"No need, I'll just stay in the courtyard." Lu Changsheng refused with a smile, then walked out of the hut and sat cross-legged in the courtyard.

Night fell, the cold air rose, but his martial arts were initiated, so he didn't feel any chill.

A night passed quickly, and Lu Changsheng didn't find any abnormalities.

Seeing that the evil spirit wouldn't appear in a short time, he began to divide a wisp of his mind to control the pangolin to search for spiritual herbs.

For the next three days, Lu Changsheng searched for spiritual herbs while sitting in the village.

He still didn't find any abnormalities.

However, he discovered several more spiritual herbs, which made him quite happy.

Such days passed for another day, and still no anomaly appeared.

This day, early morning.

Lu Changsheng frowned; this wasn't a way to go.

He couldn't just wait like this.

He decided to take the initiative.

When the middle-aged couple returned from farm work at noon, Lu Changsheng got up and walked into the house.

He went straight to the point: "Brother Yang, before the incident, were there any abnormal events in the village?"

While speaking, he took out a candy and handed it to the little girl beside him.

"Thank you, Uncle Lu."

The little girl said thank you crisply; the few had become familiar in these days, and she was no longer afraid of Lu Changsheng.

Old Yang recalled carefully for a while, then shook his head.

"The village is quite remote, and there are few outsiders, everything is very calm."

"Then were there any strange things happening a few years ago?"

Lu Changsheng's eyes shifted slightly, pushing the time forward for a long time.

Sure enough, the words of the two next made a ripple in his heart.

At this moment, Mrs. Yang's eyes brightened, and she took the lead: "When the lord mentioned this, I remembered some old things."

"Five years ago, a bride died in the village, only sixteen or seventeen years old. At that time, it was spread all over the village, and it had been circulating for a long time, and then it was gradually forgotten."

"It is said that the bride had a sweetheart, but was forced to marry Old Zhang, who was in his thirties in the village. That Old Zhang had a lot of family property, second only to the village chief in the village..."

"Later, the bride hanged herself, and her sweetheart went crazy a few years later, and Old Zhang also died. This matter was very big at the beginning."

Old Yang on the side also nodded repeatedly.

"When Old Zhang was buried, I went to see it. That death was miserable..."

After speaking, his eyes contained a trace of fear.

"Was Old Zhang's death bulging with red eyes..."

Lu Changsheng asked softly.

Old Yang's pupils shrank, seemingly thinking of something.

"Could it be...?"

He was a bit unbelievable, and his whole body was trembling.

At this time, outside the wooden window, the moonlight was flickering, the courtyard was very quiet, and two or three night crows stood on the withered trees in the distance, their dim eyeballs seemingly full of malice.

"Is that crazy man still alive?"

Lu Changsheng continued to ask.

"Still alive, still alive..."

Old Yang and his wife nodded repeatedly like chickens pecking at rice.

"His name is Peng Yuntian. If the lord wants to find him, just go one mile east out of the courtyard, and there is a big locust tree in front of his broken courtyard."

Old Yang immediately said the address.

"Thank you, Brother Yang."

Lu Changsheng smiled slightly and took out a small piece of broken silver from his bosom and placed it on the wooden table.

Although it was less than one tael of silver, it was enough for the family to live for several months.

It wasn't that he didn't want to give more; if he gave a few taels of silver, it would probably harm this family.

They couldn't keep it.

"Lord, this... can't be done."

Old Yang and his wife waved their hands to refuse, their faces very terrified.

This official Lu in front of the two was simply like a god descending, so how dare they take the lord's silver.

"Take it to buy something good for the child."

Lu Changsheng smiled, then walked toward the outside of the house without waiting for the two to refuse, three steps into two, and soon disappeared in front of the two.

Old Yang and his wife came back to their senses, looking blankly at Lu Changsheng's back, full of gratitude.

"This Lord Lu is a good official."
