Start Six Maids

On the hills, flames rise and rise.

The two rabbits and the roe deer were all put on a stick and roasted over the flames.

Tick ​​tock!

Zilla!

The golden oil fell on the fire, exploded instantly, and a fragrance was permeated.

Gollum!

Not just someone's stomach growled.

Li Yuchun took out salt and spices from a small cloth pocket on his waist, and sprinkled them on the golden roasted meat.

The tangy aroma became more and more intense.

"Suck···"

"It smells so good!"

Li Baitian probed his nose and sniffed, swallowing saliva greedily.

Rubbing his hands together, he asked eagerly, "Leader, are you alright?"

Li Yuchun cut a piece of barbecue with a knife, put it in his mouth, tasted it, nodded and said, "It's done, let's eat!"

"Haha... Hurry up, I can't wait!"

"Give me a rabbit leg!"

"I'll try this roe deer meat, it smells delicious!"

A few people sat on the hill, biting the golden roasted meat.

With the bones still on the ground, two rabbits and a deer all fell into the stomachs of Chu Ci and the others.

"Woo... so full."

Li Baitian rubbed his stomach contentedly, he ate the most.

On weekends, I picked a thin bone and opened my mouth to pick my teeth.

Li Yuchun wiped the knife clean and inserted it back into the scabbard in the boot.

Chu Ci looked at Li Yuchun and said with a smile, "Leader, are you well prepared?"

"It's a meat cutter, and salt and spices. I'm afraid I've been thinking of going out for a picnic a long time ago?"

Li Baitian who was on the side smiled and said, "You don't know about Chu Ci."

"In the past, when we went out to watch the night outside the city, we would hunt one or two prey for a picnic."

"Yesterday it was because we met the Rat Demon, otherwise we would have had a good meal!"

Chu Ci gave Li Yuchun a thumbs up when he heard the words, and said with a smile, "As expected of being the team leader, he has rich experience!"

Li Yuchun shook his head with a light smile when he heard the words, "Stop making trouble."

"Chu Ci, let's think about how to find Song Qian and the others."

Looking at Chu Ci, Li Yuchun said solemnly, "As long as you complete this task, you will be promoted to the Bronze Medal Master!"

"So this task, we must complete!"

Li Baitian and Zhou Zhou also became serious when they heard the words, they sat up straight and looked at Chu Ci.

"Chuci, what do you think we should do next?"

Chu Ci didn't answer, but looked up at the night sky.

At this moment, the moon is in the middle of the sky, and a round of full moon hangs in the air like a jade plate.

"What time is it now?"

Li Yuchun pondered for a moment when he heard the words, and said, "According to the time, it should be an ugly time."

Chu Ci nodded slightly, looked at Li Yuchun and asked, "Team leader, suppose Song Qian and the others go out of the city to patrol the night and all the villages, and when they arrive here, what time will it be?"

Li Yuchun was startled, sat up straight and said, "It should be around Choushi!"

A smile appeared on the corner of Chu Ci's mouth, and he said softly, "So, the time is just right!"

Li Yuchun looked at Chu Ci and suddenly said, "You let us eat and rest here to wait for the time?"

Chu Ci said with a smile, "One is to wait for time, and the other is to rest and replenish physical strength. The two are not delayed, are they?"

Li Yuchun nodded suddenly, thought for a moment but then frowned and said, "Even if we come here at the same time as Song Qian and the others, can we find clues about Song Qian's disappearance?"

Chu Ci patted Li Yuchun on the shoulder, stood up and looked towards the distant mountain depression.

"Team leader, why did Song Qian and the others go back to that deserted village?"

"There is no one there, so there is no need to go there, right?"

Li Yuchun stood up, subconsciously looked at the col, and murmured, "There must be something attracting Song Qian and the others!"

Chapter 122 The Weird Deserted Village

"what is it?"

Li Yuchun stared at the dark mountain in the distance, and murmured, "Song Qian and the others couldn't go to that abandoned village for no reason."

Li Baitian and Zhou weekend also tiptoed to look at the col, frowned and said, "Didn't you see anything special?"

"How about we take a closer look?"

Chu Ci interrupted the two of them, "Just stand here and watch."

"According to the description in the dossier, Song Qian and her party also took a rest here at that time."

"Don't worry, I guess there will be an abnormality soon!"

As soon as Chu Ci finished speaking, an orange light suddenly lit up in the distant mountain col!

Then, one, two, three...

Countless orange-red lights were lit up, like a sky full of stars, shining red on the originally dark mountain valley.

Seeing this scene, Chu Ci took a deep breath and said, "It has appeared!"

"Let's go!"

The three of Li Yuchun nodded and followed Chu Ci towards the col.

After a stick of incense, everyone was within easy reach of the abandoned village at the col.

The closer they were to the village, the more obvious the strange feeling in Chu Ci's heart became.

First, the weeds and chaotic trees on both sides of the official road disappeared, and a large area of ​​farmland appeared instead.

The wheat planted in the farmland is growing gratifyingly, fluctuating under the blowing of the evening wind, faintly revealing several scarecrows with weird shapes in the wheat field.

There were bursts of frogs croaking in my ears, faintly accompanied by the sound of people and dogs barking from the village.

Li Baitian looked around for a while, and couldn't help shrinking his neck.

"This place is too weird!"

"The village has long been abandoned, where is the farmland?"

"And there are red lanterns lit up in the village, and the sudden voice of people. Is this village really deserted?"

Weekend pondered for a moment, then said, "Could it be our hallucination?"

The sounds of frogs, the laughter of villagers, the barking of dogs, the feeling of crushing wheat grains, and the faint aroma of food, wine and meat in the air.

If all of this is an illusion, completely deceiving Chu Ci's sense of sight, hearing, touch, and smell, that would be too scary!

Chu Ci breathed a sigh of relief, and said in a deep voice, "Since it is here, it will be safe."

"Let's go to the village first. Song Qian's group should also be in this village."

Following the small road in front of the village, Chu Ci and the others walked into this crowded and joyful village.

There is an ancient locust tree at the head of the village, with few leaves, revealing the branches like a dragon, supporting the night sky with its teeth and claws.

Countless red ribbons were tied to the branches, swaying in the evening wind, like blood-red tentacles.

A big red lantern was raised high and hung on the highest branch of the locust tree.

A large Chinese character for longevity was pasted on the lantern, and under the light of the light, it cast a large shadow on the ground.

Chu Ci and the others came closer, only then did they see a square table placed under the locust tree.

Behind the square table sat a man who looked like a scholar.

Hearing the sound of footsteps, the man looked up at Chu Ci and the others, and a strange smile appeared on his pale face.

The smile was stiff as a plaster cast on a pale face, looking creepy.

"Several adults!"

The man stood up, cupped his hands and asked, "Are you here to celebrate Mrs. Gao's birthday?"

"Please also tell the names of the adults, so that I can record the names for the adults."

Li Yuchun frowned, stepped forward and said, "Is this Gaojia Village?"

"We're here to find someone, not to celebrate a birthday!"

Hearing this, the strange smile on the man's face suddenly subsided, and he became expressionless, "Since it's not a birthday celebration, Gaojia Village doesn't welcome you!"

After the man finished speaking, the locust tree behind him made a rattling sound, and the horned dragon-like branches seemed to slowly twist and squirm.

Chu Ci put his hand on Li Yuchun's shoulder, looked at the man and said, "Don't get me wrong, we are here to celebrate Mrs. Gao's birthday!"

Hearing this, the man showed a weird smile like before, "That's great!"

"A few adults, please tell me their names."

Chu Ci looked at the man, chuckled, and said, "We are here to celebrate a birthday, but what if we didn't bring a birthday present?"

The man smiled indifferently, "It's easy to say, easy to say."

"It is already the best birthday gift for a few adults to come!"

After speaking, the man picked up a pen, dipped it in ink, and said, "Please tell me your names."

Chu Ci stepped closer to the square table, glanced over the table, and saw the roster of transcribed records.

On the roster, Chu Ci suddenly saw the names of Song Qian, Sun Eryi, Jiang Tao, and Tian Miao!

"A few adults, please tell me their names."

The man raised his pen to urge him, and the weird smile on his face restrained again.

Chu Ci pondered for a moment, then said, "Da Li."

After speaking, Chu Ci passed the man and walked into the village.

Li Yuchun followed closely behind, walked to the square table and said, "Li Er."

After speaking, Li Yuchun didn't stop at all, and walked into the village.

Li Baitian, "Li San."

On the weekend, "Li Si."

The two walked a few steps and caught up with Chu Ci and Li Yuchun.

The man finished writing the names of the four members of Chuci one stroke at a time, then raised his head to look at the backs of the four, and laughed strangely in a low voice, "Hehe..."

"Since you're here, don't leave!"

As soon as the man finished speaking, the ink marks of the names of Li Da, Li Er, Li San, and Li Si on the roster twisted like snakes.

After a while, new characters were outlined in ink.

Chu Ci, Li Yuchun, Li Baitian, Weekend!

Chu Ci and the others walked into the village and saw strange and stiff smiles on the faces of the villagers who came and went.

These villagers ignored Chu Ci and the others, they just talked and laughed loudly among each other, and walked towards one direction.

Chuci and the others followed the flow of people to a large courtyard.
