Chapter 58 Li Mu

Bai Yanliang looked at him quietly. Xiaobin's behavior was very wrong from the beginning.

Yesterday, when the village chief asked them to go into the village to rest for a night, Xiao Bin said something strange.

It didn't look like dissatisfaction after a conflict with Tian Dawei at all. It looked more like a request to the village chief to let them leave.

Bai Yanliang believed that he was definitely not the only one to hear what Xiao Bin meant.

"Who is she?" Bai Yanliang asked.

Xiao Bin's expression suddenly became very strange. He looked at Bai Yanliang and said, "Do you believe... that there are ghosts in this world?"

The air in the room seemed to suddenly become colder. Bai Yanliang nodded: "I believe it."

Xiaobin smiled, stared at Bai Yanliang and said, "Okay, I'll tell you..."

Bai Yan's conscience moved and he looked at him quietly.

"That old house belonged to a woman. She died and her blood was sacrificed."

Xiao Bin's words were concise and concise, but in other people's ears, they were terrifying.

"Sacrifice blood?"

Bai Yanliang didn't have any unnecessary reaction, although the word was so indifferent that it was scary.

Xiao Bin felt a little strange about Bai Yanliang's indifferent reaction, but he didn't care too much.

He nodded.

"Jiuxue Village is not called Jiuxue Village. Its original name was Wuji Village."

"One year's Homecoming Festival, ten years' Homecoming Festival."

"So, the Witch Festival Village has a small festival every year and a big festival every ten years?"

"So to speak."

Xiaobin confirmed Bai Yanliang's understanding.

Small sacrifices to gods, big sacrifices to blood...

Obviously, the god here does not refer to gods, but... souls and sanity.

"How about...it's stupid, right? In this age, there are still such stupid customs? Isn't it incredible?" Xiaobin looked at Bai Yanliang with a distorted expression.

Bai Yanliang nodded clearly: "It's indeed stupid."

"Yes!"

Xiaobin's eyes were bright, and blood rushed to his cheeks due to excitement, making them look red.

"A group of disgusting, shameless, ignorant and selfish people! They deserve to be poor here and deserve to be unable to leave the Witch Festival Village! Hahahaha!"

Xiao Bin's emotions were a little out of control, but Bai Yanliang did not stop him, but allowed him to vent his saliva and curses.

Suddenly, Bai Yanliang thought of something. He glanced around and didn't see any calendar, so he asked: "What's the date tomorrow?"

Xiaobin's emotions finally stabilized after venting. Hearing this, he glanced at Bai Yanliang and said, "October 1st."

He was talking about the old calendar.

The first day of October in the lunar calendar...

Bai Yanliang looked at Xiaobin and asked, "Do you know when the first day of October in the old calendar is?"

Xiaobin was startled, then shook his head.

He grew up in a village, and the only festivals he knew were the New Year's Day and the Homecoming Festival.

Bai Yanliang said a few words in a calm tone: "Tomorrow is the Hanyi Festival, also known as the Mingyin Festival and Ghost Head Day."

It is definitely not a coincidence that Homecoming Festival and Guitou Ri collide.

Bai Yanliang never believed in coincidences.

If everything is as Xiaobin said, then... the ghost causing trouble in the village should be her.

The woman whose blood was sacrificed at the festival last year.

"What's her name?"

Bai Yanliang asked.

"Is she..." Xiao Bin's expression was a bit complicated, with nostalgia, fear, doubt, and even a little... admiration. "Her name is Lu Rendong, she is... an excellent woman."

Bai Yanliang nodded, stood up and said, "I still have something to do, so I'll leave first."

Xiaobin ignored Bai Yanliang. Ever since he mentioned the name Lu Rendong, he seemed to have fallen into deep memories. He didn't wake up until Bai Yanliang had left his house.

Bai Yanliang looked back at Xiaobin, but what he was thinking about was not about Lu Rendong.

But... this Xiao Bin, what role did he play in last year's homecoming ceremony, or... in this series of events.

……

After Li Mu left the village chief's house, he went straight to the back mountain.

He inquired that the place where the sacrifice will be held tomorrow is in the back mountain at the end of the village.

The sky is overcast, and the sun that was still there in the morning can no longer be seen.

Occasionally there would be villagers looking at me, but they disappeared after entering the forest at the end of the village.

Because there is no farmland nearby.

Li Mu stepped into the mountain forest and suddenly felt something was not right.

It was a feeling that he couldn't describe... In short, it felt very bad, and it seemed that... if he moved forward, something very bad would happen to him.

Reason told him that he must stop.

But... this is Wuji. He can't deceive his mind. What he wants now is to visit the place where the festival is held in the back mountain.

If you don't go, terrible things will happen to you because of your negative behavior.

Li Mu was in a rare dilemma. At this moment, a shout suddenly came from deep in the forest: "Hello? Are you here too?"

It's Tian Dawei.

Li Mu followed the sound and looked around. In addition to Tian Dawei, there were also He Miao holding the dog, the old man Chen Qingshan, and the taciturn Sun Liang.

Except for Tong Li, who was taking care of her husband's body in the village, they were all here.

However, Li Mu noticed that Tian Dawei was right.

"Did you meet my friend just now?" Li Mu asked.

"Yes... it's the little brother named Huang Yourong... He originally said to follow us, but as we walked, he disappeared." Chen Qingshan said.

Hearing what they said, Li Mu's heart skipped a beat. He knew... Huang Yourong was afraid that something had happened.

Looking at the people in front of him, Li Mu suddenly had an idea.

"He may be lost in the woods. Can everyone... can you go in with me to look for him?"

This request was not too much. After a few changes in their expressions, they agreed.

"Okay... let's go!"

Li Mu nodded, finally made up his mind and stepped into the forest.

However, at this moment, the warning sign in his heart suddenly reached its peak!

A strong sense of suffocation surged into his heart, just like... Wuji's summons.

No...something's wrong!

Li Mu hung behind, scanning the four of them back and forth.

Finally, his heart trembled and he stared at the back of a person.

Something's wrong with him!

Just when Li Mu noticed something strange, Tian Dawei, who was walking in front, suddenly stopped, turned to look at Li Mu, and said:

"Why are you walking so slowly?"

Li Mu's heart was beating wildly, but after all, he was the person who survived the longest in the fog.

When he heard this, not only did he not panic, but he even forcibly controlled his accelerated heartbeat.

"I haven't exercised all year round, so I feel a little tired from walking."

Li Mu replied.

Tian Dawei stared at him and suddenly smiled: "Then, you can go in front of us."

Li Mu felt a chill in his vest, but now... he couldn't bear to refuse.

He nodded and said: "Okay."
