Chapter 56: Haunted Niujia Village

Lu Changsheng raised his hand gently, stopping Hongye from drawing the knife.

He glanced outside.

A beautiful girl, carrying a basket, walked briskly into the earthen house.

She wore a light blue denim jacket and a white long skirt. She was not wearing any makeup on her face, but she was still playful and cute.

"Brother, why did you have guests at home today? You didn't tell me?" The girl's voice was soft and gentle.

Lu Changsheng turned off his phone and glanced at Hongye, who shook her head calmly.

"This is the one I found for you. She's from the city. Look, she's delicate and tender." Sanniuzi brought a large pot of cold tea and poured a cup for each of the two guests.

"It's easy to give birth!"

"Brother Sanniu, your sister is so beautiful. I don't think you need to be so anxious to find her a partner." Lu Changsheng was full of black lines, always feeling like he was kidnapped to be a cottage wife.

"All the men in the village are rough guys. How can I let Erniu marry them? No matter what, she has to find a man from the city. Only by marrying out can she have a promising future. What's the point of staying in Niujia Village?"

"Don't worry, little brother. It's just a funeral. Don't feel inferior. We don't have so many requirements. Just look good."

Lu Changsheng looked at Hongye for help, but the latter just covered her mouth and laughed secretly, with no intention of saving the situation.

Hongye rarely saw Lu Changsheng's embarrassment, but she would not let him go easily.

"Brother~What are you talking about!" Erniu's little face turned red, and she turned her head away and dared not look at Lu Changsheng and the others.

"Uh...that, Erniu, actually, my brother and I are mainly interested in the crossbow arrow of Brother Sanniu. I wonder if you can tell us where we can buy it?" Lu Changsheng changed the subject abruptly.

"Are you talking about this?" Erniu took out an identical crossbow arrow from behind her and shook it in front of Lu Changsheng.

"Well, I want to buy the same one, can you tell me where I can buy it?" Lu Changsheng said seriously.

Erniu didn't dare to look at Lu Changsheng's face, she turned her head away shyly, and said timidly, "This crossbow arrow is not bought, it was made by Sister Lili for us. Recently, there is a commotion in the village..."

Erniu seemed a little scared, and her voice became smaller and smaller.

"What ghost is going on? Don't listen to those uneducated and rough people. We don't believe in these things."

Sanniuzi refilled the cold tea for the guests and took over the conversation.

"These days, there are always strange noises at night. People in the village say it's haunted. In my opinion, it's just a lost beast that went into the mountains. If you have friends who want to come and taste the game, bring them boldly."

"Besides, you and Erniu will definitely live in the city in the future, so don't be afraid of these things."

If you are so brave, why do you take out the crossbow arrow when you see a stranger?

And why do you live in the city?

Arranged marriage is a bad habit!

Lu Changsheng complained in his heart, but still tried to bring the topic to business.

"Erniu, the sister Lili you mentioned, is her surname Qiu?"

"We are from Niujia Village, so of course our surname is Niu." Erniu looked at Lu Changsheng in confusion, then quickly turned her head and added in a low voice.

"Tomorrow is the anniversary of the death of sister Lili's parents. She will definitely come back. If you really want to buy a crossbow, you can try your luck."

Lu Changsheng nodded gently.

"Thank you. I wonder if there is a homestay in the village where we can stay overnight? We will rest for one night, and tomorrow we will ask Erniu to take us to see this sister Lili."

As he said that, he took out a few more bills from his pocket and handed them over with a painful look on his face.

"Brother, you can stay at our house tonight. Anyway, our parents are gone, and there is an empty room. You two brothers and sisters can handle it for one night."

Sanniuzi pushed the bills back.

"The money you just gave is enough, we can't take it. Besides, we will be a family soon, this is not polite."

"Wait, I'll go kill two chickens and fill my stomach first."

After saying that, he awkwardly winked at Erniu, making her blush.

Lu Changsheng looked at Erniu with a guilty conscience, and then looked at Hongye.

Hongye's eyes had turned into gossip, and she looked like she was watching the fun and didn't mind the big deal. She didn't express any opinion about living in the same room.

At the dinner table, Sanniuzi kept passing words between Lu Changsheng and Erniu.

After his exaggeration, the two had already named their children in the future.

The fragrant chicken did not relieve Lu Changsheng's embarrassment. After a meal, he felt like sitting on pins and needles.

......

At night.

Hongye sat on the bed with her buttocks, raised her head and lay down, making a big character, and then turned left and right twice.

The walls of the room were already mottled, but the room was spotless, the bedding was new, and it exuded a faint scent of laundry detergent.

Sanniuzi took good care of the house, even though he was the only one in the empty house most of the time.

"My dear brother, go to bed early, you have to get up early tomorrow." Hongye patted the bedside mischievously, like a gangster teasing a little girl.

"Remember to pick up Erniu after you finish your business, she is still waiting to become the boss lady of Changshengtang~"

"You are still addicted to acting..." Lu Changsheng glanced at her speechlessly, ignored her, silently opened the window and looked out.

There is not such strong light pollution in the village, and the stars fill the dark night sky.

Quiet and remote.

"Hongye, what do you think...what are the people of the Bietian Sect like?" Lu Changsheng spoke in a low voice, without any emotion.

"Stupid, rich, easy to fool?" Hongye thought for a moment, and added, "Are they all crazy?"

"They are really not afraid of death..." Lu Changsheng fell silent as if he remembered something.

"Are you going to think about life all night? Are you really not going to sleep?" Hongye noticed that Lu Changsheng was a little depressed, and teased and changed the subject.

"Have you forgotten what I do? When I am keeping vigil for a client, it is normal to stay up all night."

Lu Changsheng looked at Hongye and smiled, "Of course, you have to pay more!"

Hongye spit lightly, but was not angry. He has been making a living in the Hunter Guild, and he has long been indifferent to matters of life and death.

"If I die someday, Boss Lu, remember to give me a set of [Bloom, Senior], it will be very satisfying then."

"Let me show off my power in front of others." Hongye pulled the quilt over her body, her two bright white legs swinging from time to time, imagining the scene of ascension.

"You have good taste!" Lu Changsheng happily gave a thumbs up, he finally found a customer who knew what he was doing.

Just then.

A miserable wailing sounded in the village, from far to near, making people shudder.

The sound was like the struggle of a human before death, and like the desperate howl of a beast.

Harsh, desolate, painful.

Lu Changsheng looked at the source of the sound, only to feel irritated all over, and suddenly became alert in his heart.

Hongye lifted the quilt, jumped up from the bed, ready to draw a knife to fight at any time.

Dong-dong-dong

Just then.

The knock on the door sounded abruptly, which startled the two people who were already nervous at the same time.

Who would come to see them so late?

Dong-dong-dong

"If you start, don't leave the five-meter range around me."

Lu Changsheng's [God Spirit] has a maximum coverage of five meters around him.

Hongye nodded slightly, mobilized her supernatural power, and looked outside the door.

She frowned slightly, shook her head at Lu Changsheng, and opened the door with some doubts.

Erniu stood outside the door, looking at the two nervously, and finally stopped her gaze on Hongye.

She took a deep breath, mustered up her courage, and asked in a low voice.

"That...Sister Hongye..."

"Are you from the law enforcement team..."
