Nightmare Attack

Chapter 1079 The water in the crossing river should be cold
"Yes, he never goes to the Wu family's mansion, not even approaching it." The village head swallowed carefully, "There are rumors in the village that although this man is crazy, his eyes can see things that ordinary people can't see. .”

The village chief said these few words in a low voice, obviously they were the only people around, but it felt like he was worried about being overheard by something, which made the atmosphere tense.

It seemed to be verifying what the village chief said. Since they chose this road, they did not see any crazy beggars, and they were very peaceful along the way.

They made a big circle in the village, and finally came to the south of the village. The houses here are much worse than those near the village meeting hall. There are basically no decent yards. The walls are all built with earth, and quite a few of them have been broken. .

Many houses here are empty, a dilapidated scene, the dark wooden doors are half-hidden, walking nearby, there is a feeling of being spied on, as if there are pairs of eyes hidden behind the doors and windows.

"Is there anyone still living here?" Du Moyu looked around vigilantly, he felt very bad here.

After walking for a while, the village chief stopped and pointed to a dilapidated house, "This is it, the old lady of the Wu family lives here."

Strictly speaking, there is a small yard outside the dilapidated house, but the yard has no walls, not even earth walls. It is just a fence with dead tree branches inserted into the soil to isolate a small piece of land.

There is also a gate above the fence.

The village chief went up and shouted towards the broken house: "Mama Wu, are you at home, Mama Wu?"

"Mother Wu..." Chen Hao said in a low voice, "Why, her surname is also Wu?"

"No no, master, don't get me wrong, Mama Wu's surname is not Wu, but she is not thinking well now, and she has long forgotten what her surname is, and she has been working in the Wu family's mansion for a long time. It’s hard to change your words.” The village chief explained.

As soon as the words fell, there was a creaking sound from the dilapidated house, like an old wooden door being pushed open. After hearing this, the village chief led a group of people in.

"Mother Wu, we're coming in." Just as the village head opened the door, something was thrown over and smashed to the ground in front of the village head. It was a broken bowl.

This scene of being dismounted made the village head feel embarrassed. The dilapidated house was very dark. Jiang Cheng closed one eye before entering the house, and only opened it now, so he could see more clearly than the village head.

It is no exaggeration to describe this dilapidated house as poor. There are only a few simple old furniture, tables, wooden chairs and the like. An old woman wrapped in rags is sitting beside the bed.

The old woman was wearing black cloth shoes, and judging from the appearance, her ugly little feet were still wrapped.

"Mother Wu, you are at home." The village head smiled unnaturally at the old woman, and after his eyes were familiar with the light here, he groped to find a candle with only a small half left on the table.

After the candle was lit, the environment in the room gradually became clear.

The old woman said nothing, with a dull and weird expression on her face, her head drooping slightly, as if she was not interested in their arrival at all.

"Hi old man, we are here to bother you today because we have something to ask you." Du Moyu was the first to speak. It was meaningless to go around in circles in the current situation. ?"

Hearing the word Wu's family, the old woman raised her head suddenly as if she had been electrocuted.

This sudden movement did not frighten these people. What really caught everyone's attention was the old woman's eyes, which were hollow and out of focus.

"Her eyes..." Du Moyu looked at the village chief in a low voice.

The village chief sighed, "Mama Wu is blind."

"The Wu family..." Wu Ma slowly opened her mouth with a stiff expression. If Jiang Cheng hadn't been here, the fat man who saw this scene would have run away long ago. There was obviously something wrong with this woman.

Yu Chengmu took a deep breath and stared at Mama Wu, "Yes, the Wu family, you have lived in the Wu family for so long, you must know what happened to the Wu family, and I hope you can tell us about it."

"Miss, she... She sacrificed to the God of the River and became the Empress of the Great River." Mama Wu said each word, her voice hoarse as if sand had been stuffed in her throat, "After she left, the Wu family was defeated. It's..."

"Why did she sacrifice to the river god?" Zhang Junyu immediately asked, "Did the villagers force her?"

This question was so explicit that the face of the village head who was still standing aside immediately changed, but no one paid attention to him at this time. If he was really forced, as the current head of the village, he must not be able to get away with it.

After a long while, Wu Ma slowly shook her head with a dull expression. At the same time, Dou Da's tears rolled down, "No, no one...No one forced Miss, she did it voluntarily."

Wu Ma's voice became more and more painful, "Miss...Miss, why...she is willing to go, she is still so young, and she is so kind, she shouldn't, it shouldn't be her!"

Seeing Mama Wu grabbing her disheveled hair with her hands, repeating those few words non-stop, showing signs of falling into madness, Jiang Cheng immediately interrupted her, "Mama Wu, miss, does she have a marriage?"

"No!" Wu Ma's face suddenly became ferocious, "You bastard, if you dare to ruin my young lady's reputation again, I will tear your mouth apart!"

Seeing this, the village chief hurriedly extinguished the fire, "Mama Wu, what did you say? These people are benefactors of our village, you..."

"It's all right." Jiang Cheng waved his hands and said to Mama Wu, "I don't mean anything malicious, but I can't figure out how your young lady got on this path. What a wonderful person, what a pity."

I don't know what that sentence touched Wu Ma, but she started to cry.

"In my opinion, there must be something hidden behind Miss's voluntary sacrifice. We want to investigate this matter clearly, and you don't want Miss's death to be unknown, right?" Walked over, squatted halfway in front of Mama Wu, gently grabbed Mama Wu's hand, placed it on her knee, and sighed softly, "It's autumn, the water in the crossing river should be cold, Miss... I'm afraid it will be too cold." Get cold."

Wu Ma's body shook violently.

Quietly accompanied Wu Ma for a while, and slowly, Wu Ma did not resist Jiang Cheng as much as she did at the beginning, and everyone could see that Wu Ma was not only blind, but her mental state also fluctuated from time to time, and no one dared to Stimulate her again.

"Yes, you are right, Miss... she must have been killed, otherwise... how could she..." Wu Ma grabbed Jiang Cheng's hand tightly, as if grasping the last straw.

Feeling almost done, Jiang Cheng asked softly, "Mama Wu, the name Lu Jianli...have you heard of it?"
