Chapter 244: Human or ghost?
After hearing this, Jiang Yuwei hurriedly called everyone up, and then said to Tie Zhu and Ning Wu who were lying on the ground:
"Hurry up and grab your stuff and go outside to check. Be careful that our stuff may not be stolen by others!"
Tiezhu and Ning Wu naturally did not dare to neglect hearing this, and hurriedly picked up their weapons and walked out of the yard. The others saw this and had no intention of sleeping anymore, so they all got up and prepared to go out to see what was going on. However, as soon as they got up, they heard Ning Wu's shouting outside:
“Ahhhh, ghost, ahhhh don’t come over here, don’t!”
As he said that, Ning Wu crawled into the house, while Tiezhu stood there holding a mace, his eyes fixed on the man in white standing at the gate of the yard.
Jiang Yuwei heard Ning Wu's shout, and her heart sank immediately. She shouted:
"Who are you? You're playing tricks here!"
Jiang Yuwei picked up the bow and arrow at hand, rushed out, and shouted outside:
"Don't be afraid, Tiezhu, he is a human!"
Tiezhu didn't believe in these weird things at first, but after hearing what Jiang Yuwei said, he stood even more firmly in the middle of the yard and stared at the person at the door.
All I heard was a strange laugh from someone outside: “Hehehehehe…”
At this time, Yun Qing also rushed to the center of the yard and stood with Tiezhu, staring at the people outside, without acting rashly.
Ning Zixuan stood behind Jiang Yuwei, ready to protect her at any time.
Jiang Yuwei looked at the people outside and shouted:
"If you keep playing tricks on me, I'll really turn you into a ghost!"
Jiang Yuwei didn't give the man a chance to speak and directly raised her bow and arrow and shot towards his heart.
The man seemed to have some skills. He quickly noticed the arrow shot by Jiang Yuwei and reached out to grab the sword.
Jiang Yuwei saw this and shouted:
"I knew you were not a ghost. How could a ghost catch my arrow?"
The people in the room who were trembling with fear heard Jiang Yuwei's words and immediately felt relieved. It's good that it's not a ghost, it's good that it's not a ghost.
Ning Wu felt a little embarrassed when he saw this, so he scratched his head, took his short knife and rushed to the yard again, cursing at the man:
"How dare you scare me, you damned thing! I'll chop off your head!"
As he said that, Ning Wu raised the dagger and stabbed at the man. Jiang Yuwei was about to open her mouth to stop him, but she saw the man in white kicked Ning Wu far away, but his body still stood there motionless.
When Jiang Yuwei saw his expression, she knew that this man was quite skilled in martial arts. She then turned to look at Ning Zixuan and motioned him to go to the front and take that man down.
Ning Zixuan naturally knew that this man had a solid foundation. The mediocre kung fu that Tiezhu and Ning Wu had just learned was not enough in front of this man. Instead of letting them go up and die, it would be better for him to take him down himself.
Jiang Yuwei wanted to distract the white-clothed man's attention, so she said:
"What do you want to do here? If you just want to have a full meal, I can give it to you. If you want to kill for money, then you will die here today!"
As soon as Jiang Yuwei finished speaking, Ning Zixuan jumped in front of the man in white and put the sword on his neck when he was caught off guard.
Seeing this, Jiang Yuwei hurriedly shouted:
"Yunqing, Tiezhu! Tie him up for me!"
After hearing this, Tiezhu picked up the rope from the ox cart and ran over. Yunqing held the man in white's hands while Tiezhu was responsible for tying him up. Soon the man was tied up.
Seeing that the person had been controlled, Jiang Yuwei said to Tiezhu:
"Tiezhu, bring him into the house!"
After that, Jiang Yuwei looked out at the gate of the courtyard very cautiously for a while, and after making sure that there was no one else around, she instructed Yun Qing:
"Stay in the yard for a while. I'm afraid he has accomplices."
After hearing this, Yun Qing nodded to Jiang Yuwei, then sat down on the ox cart with his sword in hand.
Jiang Yuwei glanced at Ning Wu who was still lying on the ground, and said to Ning Zixuan helplessly:
"Go and help him back into the house."
Then Jiang Yuwei entered the room, kicked away the man in white who was sitting on the ground, walked forward and lifted all the hair in front of him. Just one glance frightened Jiang Yuwei so much that she took several steps back.
This was a man whose face was burned so badly that his features could not be seen clearly. Only a pair of eyes were left staring at Jiang Yuwei stubbornly, and the hatred in his eyes seemed to want to tear her apart.
Xu Qianqian was originally a little curious and wanted to come out to see what was going on, but she fainted after just one look. Ning Chunlin saw this and hurriedly came out trembling and carried Xu Qianqian to the kang.
The man saw that Xu Qianqian was frightened by him and fainted, and he couldn't help but snorted coldly:
"You are all like this, you can't bear to see my face, but you insist on lifting it up to see it, ugh!"
Jiang Yuwei calmed herself down, looked at the man in front of her and said:
"Why are you not sleeping in the middle of the night and acting like a ghost?"
The man saw that Jiang Yuwei didn't seem to be afraid of him and even dared to look at his face and talk to him, so he looked at her curiously.
"Oh, you're interesting. You're not afraid of me?"
Jiang Yuwei looked at the man in front of her and slowly said:
"Why should I be afraid of you? You are not a real ghost. Even if a real ghost comes, I won't be afraid!"
The man snorted coldly and turned his head away without looking at her.
Seeing that this man was difficult to communicate with, Jiang Yuwei found a stool and sat in front of him, and continued to ask:
"I'm asking you a question. Why are you here to scare people in the middle of the night?"
After hearing this, the man looked at Jiang Yuwei with anger in his eyes.
"Who has the time to scare you? I haven't even asked you what you are doing in my house!"
Jiang Yuwei was surprised when she heard this:
"Is this your home?"
The man nodded impatiently.
Jiang Yuwei was a little unconvinced, so she asked again:
"So you are from Jiajiagou Village. What's your name?"
The man raised his eyes and met Jiang Yuwei's gaze, feeling a little bitter. Ever since his family was gone, no one knew his name anymore, and no one cared about his name. Now he was living like a zombie, but this woman in front of him was not only not afraid of him, but she even wanted to know his name...
The man thought for a moment and then said:
"My name is Jia Yu."
Jiang Yuwei muttered:
"Jia Yu, if you are really from this village, can you tell me how your village fell into such a state?"
After hearing what Jiang Yuwei said, Jia Yu couldn't help but fall into deep thought. After a long while, he said calmly:
"It's a long story. The reason why our village has fallen into such a state is actually because everyone in our village has died. Haha, now I am the only walking corpse left in the whole village."
