When Dugu Rui arrived at the first village, there were few pedestrians on the road, and the figures were dim.

The same is true for the villages where everyone went a little farther, and the same for the next few villages.Indications show that these villages should be the most affected.

"Let's go, let's find a small farmhouse for lodging, and ask for details by the way." Duguchou suggested, waving the token in his hand, "Anyway, we eat and drink for everyone."

Walking into a bustling small courtyard, you can smell the aroma of rice from the outside.Duguchou went to invest in the store on behalf of everyone, and entered the house. The huge house, I thought it would be full of people, but I didn't expect to meet an old woman, Duguchou hurriedly explained the purpose of coming, and said that he was sent by the head of Jiange to investigate the demons. , with a token as evidence, I hope to live here for two days.

The old woman was hard of hearing, and after listening for a long time, she finally understood, "Are you catching monsters? We have monsters here? You can stay if you want." The mother-in-law was unconscious, and she didn't even use the token, so she agreed inexplicably.A group of people entered the house, Feng Qiwu saw the mother-in-law, and suddenly felt kind, and wanted to ask where the other people in the house were, but was stopped by Duguchou.

The old woman went to work.Everyone was at a loss in the room, and when they were hesitating, a child's head poked out from the side. The little girl was very cautious, she stretched out her head for a while, and retracted it for a while. Everyone pretended not to see it, but sneaked into the child's eyes Stretched out his head again to eavesdrop.When everyone went to see it, they hid in a dark corner again.Taking advantage of the gap of a few seconds, a sudden flash of cold heart, has already jumped behind the child invisible, when the child was about to inquire again, he grabbed her arm impatiently coldly.The child was not afraid at all, and then he broke free and walked out with big strides.

Ask like an adult, "Are you really here to catch demons?"

"Of course. Do you know the situation of the monster?" Feng Qiwu turned around and lowered his waist, lightly brushing the child's arm with both hands to eliminate the hostility.

The child was drawn closer by the gentle sister in front of him, "Many of our children have been taken away, and one of them is my good friend Xiaoman."

"What's your name?" Feng Qiwu asked.

"My name is Xiaoqiao." The little girl replied.

"Can you tell us about the situation of the monsters, maybe these brothers can find your friends." Feng Qiwu's words brightened the little friend in front of him.

"Recently there have been monsters eating children here, and many children have been lost. But somehow the adults are like sick people, instead of looking for their children, they forget them all. At night , This place is like a place where ghosts live, and you can hear a strange sound." When the kid said it, he whispered cautiously, paying attention to the left and right, lest people might overhear him.After the child finished speaking, he pretended to be an adult and said seriously, "I think the whole village has been hit by a ghost."

Duguchou next to him couldn't listen anymore, so he thought about the old-fashioned child, "The grown-ups have forgotten, why haven't you forgotten? I think you are also crazy."

"You don't believe what I said." The kid was very angry and his eyes widened. "Then what are you asking me for?"

Feng Qiwu glared at Duguchou from the side, and then comforted, "Where is the adult in your room? How come there are no other people in such a big building?"

"This house is not my home. The children in this house were taken away, and the adults disappeared, leaving only a confused old woman. I was originally a street child, so I found this place and lived there. , I don’t know where the others have gone.” The child revealed a sense of maturity and stability in his speech, although he was neatly dressed, he could feel the vicissitudes he had experienced from his words.

"How long have you lived here?" Dugu Rui asked.

The child looked at the gentle and elegant man, and replied, "It's been more than a month. This is my home now."

"Aren't you afraid that monsters will take you away?" Duguchou looked at this sly and snobbish child.

"Of course I was scared. I didn't see that I was very low-key. Even if the monster came, I would probably arrest you first. Who made you hate it so much, you always speak ill of monsters." The child retorted sharply.

Dongfang Ying thought it was very funny, seeing that Duguchou was about to continue pointlessly rebutting, she pulled him to the back, "People praised you for being young, didn't you hear that?"

Duguchou answered, "Then I will thank her, little devil."

"When do monsters often appear?" asked coldly and seriously.

Xiaoqiao didn't dare to resist the majesty, so he replied, "Every now and then, they come out at night."

"Why do you say that everyone in the village seems to be sick?" Leng Xin continued to ask.

"Xiaoman's father and Xiaoman usually have the best relationship, and they took care of each other the most when they were wandering on the street. But after his daughter was lost, when I saw him the next day and asked Xiaoman, he still said with a smile, 'I Where is the daughter?’ Isn’t this sick? What is it? I know in the village that most parents who have lost their children have become like this. I hope you can save me, and I am afraid that monsters will attack me.”

"You saw this all yourself?" Duguchou interjected again, not trusting this mature little girl very much.

"Nonsense, I have never seen monsters, some I heard, some I asked myself." The little girl has a lot of hatred for Duguchou on what kind of people she meets and what kind of attitude she will respond to.

"When we came in just now, we smelled a smell of rice, did you cook this rice?" Feng Qiwu changed the subject, it was obvious that the little girl liked talking to Sister Feng very much.

"Of course, I used to travel all over the world to find food by myself." The little girl was very proud of her skills.

"Then sister, can I borrow your kitchen, let's cook something for my brothers." Feng Qiwu and the children left happily.

"This little girl's words are unbelievable." Duguchou said angrily to everyone, "It's been so long, why hasn't she been captured by the monster?"

"You can't bully little girls just because they are young." Dugu Rui said with a smile on the side.Even the stinky butterfly demon on his body also danced lightly, as if echoing.

Duguchou pulled Dongfangying's sleeve and walked out the door.I only heard a voice from behind, "Don't go too far, I will eat the food cooked by the children in a while!" Then there was a burst of laughter.

Dongfang Ying was forcibly pulled out by his sleeve. Seeing him angry, she didn't say anything to complain. Instead, she broke free from her arm and stepped out lightly, "Go, go around the street and see if you can find it." Other children, look for some clues."
