After walking about thirty or fifty meters away, I finally heard an abnormal sound.

The sound came from a yard not far from me. It was a very sharp friction sound, and it was a squeak, as if someone was smashing the wood with a file.

Now that's the point, who will do carpentry work in their own yard?

I pulled Liu Shangang and pointed to the yard where the sound was made. Liu Shangang nodded at me.

I remember before I came out, Liu Shangang said that the sound lasted for ten minutes. Since he rubbed his body and we walked for so long, the sound has never stopped.

At this time, Liu Shangang came to me and almost pressed his ears on his face and said, "From half an hour ago to now, the sound has not changed in size and frequency. I guess the sound may have been made from the machine."

I didn't express my opinion and asked Liu Shangang to continue leaving.

Because we were worried that there were people in the yard, we didn't dare to climb over the wall and enter the yard. In addition, the gate of this family was very blocked, and there was not even a gap, so we could not see the situation inside.

We could only go around in a big circle, go to the back of the yard, climb up onto the roof, hide in the shadow of the chimney, and quietly observe the situation in the yard.

The wall of this family's courtyard is very high and the moonlight cannot shine in. I can only see a figure in the corner of the yard, and the sound is from him.

Liu Shangang stared at him for a while, then scratched his head frizzily. I couldn't understand what Liu Shangang meant to do this.

Scream-

At this time, someone opened the door of the house, and a dim light shone out from the house, just falling on the figure in the corner of the courtyard.

Only then did I see clearly that it was a middle-aged man with deep wrinkles on his face, but his body looked very strong. At this time, he was holding a thick log and constantly using his slut to frustrate the old skin on the surface of the wood. His eyes were dull and empty, and he mechanically repeated the same movements, like a puppet with a clockwork.

A man in a robe walked out of the house, with a hat on his head, and we couldn't see his face clearly, so we could only tell from his figure that he was a slightly fat man.

The man came to the man with the crumbs, broke a steamed bun, stuffed it into the man with the crumbs little by little, and took another cup of hot water and poured it into his mouth.

After that, the man entered the house and the yard fell into darkness again. I heard the woman's crying sound from the house, but soon the sound disappeared.

I couldn't help but frown and looked at Liu Shangang. Liu Shangang also had a frown expression at this time. He gave me a look, pointed to the road behind the courtyard, and made a lip shape: "Retreat!"

After that, Liu Shangang took the others down the roof first. Because I was too heavy, I could easily make noises when I landed. Liu Shangang and Liang Houzai followed me below, but the snow was slipping. When Liu Shangang caught me, he couldn't bear my weight and slipped to the ground, making a loud noise.

I looked at him nervously, and he quickly got up, put his body against the wall, and waved his hand at us, indicating that we would do the same as him.

Sure enough, when everyone put their bodies on the wall, the lights were on in the room behind us.

The light shone through the window on the snow in front of us, and we could clearly see a figure in front of the window, who should be looking out of the window now.

While staring at the shadow on the ground, Liu Shangang took out a dark thing from his backpack and fiddled with it for a few times. It was too dark and I couldn't see clearly what he was holding. It was not until I shook my hand and threw the thing into the snow that it seemed to be a model or specimen of some kind of canine animal.

And at this moment, the specimen actually moved. It walked over to the window in the garden. When it walked, its soles of its feet were in contact with the snow and made a "creaking" sound. In my eyes, it was a large dog wandering from the snow, and it was vivid in its movements or footsteps.

The people in the room probably thought that the sound just now was made by this "dog", so they turned off the lights and the footsteps gradually moved away from us.

It was not until he confirmed that he was far away from us that Liu Shangang got up from the ground, carefully explored the way, and took us away from this place. When he passed by the entrance of the alley, he picked up the "dog" on the ground.

Since someone might have discovered it just now, Liang Houzai suggested not to return the same way, and it would be best to find a more secluded place to avoid it first.

Liu Shangang took us to a poplar forest directly north of the village. He conducted an investigation in advance and it was confirmed that there were no secret whistles buried by the burial sect in this forest.

After going deep into the forest, I looked at the village again, and I could see the bright street light at the east end of the village from afar. I vaguely saw a layer of faint black air floating above the street lights.

But in the night, the entire village is black, so it is extremely unreal.

Just as I was thinking, I heard Luo Tai ask Liu Shangang: "What is in your hand?"

"Sheepdog model." Liu Shangang said, fiddling on the model for a few times. I saw that the "dog" in his hand instantly faded, and then he put it in his backpack.

Luo Tai seemed to be curious about the thing and asked Liu Shangang again: "How did it move just now?"

Liu Shangang said: "The principle is very similar to the puppet controlled by wire."

Xian'er also said from the side: "The bag you carry is really a treasure chest, even such things."

"Hehe, I'm not just a treasure here," Liu Shangang said proudly: "There are things you can't imagine here."

After that, he turned his face and said to me: "I have investigated the villagers before. The person who just falsified the wooden vulture in the yard should be Wang Dahai. My informant told me that their family is quite special. In the early years, Wang Dahai's father was a sage in the village. He was killed when he broke the four olds. It is said that Wang Dahai would also have some of the magic passed down from their ancestors."

I said, "Do you still remember when we were having lunch today, we mentioned to you that when Dianzi Village was just starting to get into evil spirits, there were three brothers in the village who were caught?"

Liu Shangang nodded: "Remember, two died, and the one who was alive was forced to post online."

I nodded and said, "Those three brothers are all Wang Dahai's own sons. By the way, who was the one who fed Wang Dahai just now? Can you identify his identity?"

Liu Shangang thought for a while and shook his head: "I can't see my face clearly, so I can't identify it. But it can be confirmed that the man is not Wang Dahai's son. According to the informant, Wang Dahai's three sons are all thin. Moreover, Wang Dahai divorced his wife five years ago, so there should be no women in the family, but did you hear just now? There are two women crying in his family."

Two women? I only heard one person crying.

Liang Houzai also said, "Are there two people crying? Why do I hear only one person? Liu Shangang, why do I feel that your hearing seems to be much better than all of us? I haven't found you have such specialties before."

Liu Shangang smiled "hehe" and scratched the back of his head and said, "Huang Changrong gave me a prescription for cleaning ears and eyes a while ago. I grabbed a few medicines according to the prescription, and did the eye protection and ear protection exercises he gave me every day. How long has it been, and my vision and hearing have improved a lot."

"Sweep your eyes and ears?" I said in surprise: "Isn't this the secret skill of Huang Changrong and others? Why is it spread out?"

Liu Shangang said: "I heard from Grandpa Chai that you helped the Huang family so much last time, but it was not in vain. Grandpa Chai had made an agreement with Grandpa Huang before going to Northeast China. He helped the Huang family find the Jinding Monk, and the Huang family gave him a set of kung fu he passed down from his family. It seems that the Huang family gave this prescription for eyes and ears, but Grandpa Chai said that this prescription is to stimulate the potential of the human body. If you practice practitioners use it, it will damage the Taoist practice, so they handed it to me."

He heard what he said, as if he was talking about how much he got, and he felt ashamed, but when he spoke, he clearly showed his tone.

To be honest, Liu Shangang is right. Such a skill of strengthening the senses is indeed not suitable for people like us to practice, but who doesn’t want to have good eyes and ears?

I didn't want to continue discussing this matter anymore, so I changed the topic: "Let's talk serious first. You guys heard the woman's cry just now. Don't you think that crying... is very strange?"

At this time, Luo Fei said: "It's really weird. The crying sound seems to be just for the sake of crying, without any emotion."

Liang Houzai also nodded and echoed: "Brother Dao, do you remember when we were dealing with Huang Daxian in Zhujia Village, Henan? The crying sounds that came from the mourning hall of the old master of the Zhu family were similar to the kind of cry I heard just now."

When he said this, I also felt that the two crying sounded very similar.

Liu Shangang said, "No, there are two crying sounds, one of them is indeed unemotional, but the other sounds cold. That sound is not too sad, but it gives people a very desolate feeling."

When I heard Liu Shangang's words, I couldn't help but sigh. If it weren't for the secret action, we would have to go into the house to see everything, but now, in order to prevent the people from burying the sect from discovering us, we can only discuss the crying of the two women here.

Think about it, although this kind of thing is ridiculous, it is also a helpless move for us.

After pondering for a while, I said, "The two women in Wang Dahai's family may be held hostage, so we have to find a way to go in and take a look."

Liang Houzai shook his head aside: "It's not possible now. If we rashly enter Wang Dahai's house, we will definitely be exposed. Brother Dao, I think it's better to fully understand the forces of the Burial Cult ambushing the Dianzi Village first, and then make other plans."

After saying that, he added: "Brother Dao, you can't be too soft-hearted at some things when it's so important."

Damn, this guy is talking about my wife’s kindness!

But I didn't have the same knowledge as him, so I just asked Liu Shangang to find another way and take me to the street light to take a look.

The street lights were very bright, and it was easy for everyone to act together to reveal themselves. We weighed it and in the end, only Zhou Tai and us walked together.
Chapter completed!
