Lin Xiyu felt someone and quickly stepped back vigilantly, holding his hand on the hilt of the sword: "who is coming?"


    "I''m a woodcutter living at the foot of the mountain. I cut firewood on the jiuri mountain for a living. It''s late at night, and I''m driving down the mountain." the owner of the strange face is a man of more than ten or forty, whose voice is as hoarse as an old crow, which makes people feel uncomfortable from the bottom of my heart.


    "Woodcutter? The mountain road is difficult. Why did you go down at night?" Lin Xiyu calmly retreated a few steps, and his Qi machine was still on the woodcutter who appeared silently.


    Lin Xiyu encountered strange things this night and a woodcutter who suddenly appeared. Although there were some waves in his heart, he was in a panic. Such a calm performance stems from her self-confidence cultivated by practicing martial arts hard at an early age and solid basic skills. In addition, she was born in the first village of Wulin. Her father and grandfather are great figures in Wulin. Growing up in such a Wulin family, she has a stronger temperament than ordinary people. She exudes extraordinary demeanor from the inside to the outside.


    The woodcutter was stunned and went on hoarse: "girl... I was born ugly and ordinary people thought I saw monsters. So I went to the depths of jiuri mountain every day to cut firewood and went down at night to avoid frightening others. Were you not frightened by me?"


    "I see. I can''t see."


    The woodcutter raised his firewood knife and shook it. The girl''s eyes were bright but unmoved. Then she suddenly realized. He touched his roots and his face. No wonder he wasn''t scared. He turned out to be blind.


    "So recently, it is said that there are monsters on jiuri mountain, but you?"


    "Hehe... Maybe it is! Seeing my child will even be scared out of sleep by me. It''s not surprising that someone calls me a monster! Girl, if you come here to see the monster on jiuri mountain, you''ve seen it..."


    "I see..." Lin Xiyu did not doubt that the so-called monster in jiuri mountain was caused by the ugly woodcutter who came and went at night.


    "Girl, I think you look like a chivalrous man walking in the Jianghu. If you dare to go to jiuri mountain alone, you should have high skills. However, there are many dark slopes and cliffs in jiuri mountain. Woodcutters and hunters who have been walking here for many years dare not say whether they will lose their mind and step on it one day. If you slide on jiuri mountain, you will fall into the deep cliffs of Qiling mountain, and you can''t even find the bones. I advise you to go down the mountain earlier... Day Instead, you can come up for sightseeing. Many scholars like to come here to climb high and observe the scenery and carve poems on mountains and stones as souvenirs. "


    "Mr. Xie cares. But can''t you hear the drums everywhere?" Lin Xiyu asked suspiciously.


    "Why can''t you hear it. But those are not drums, but shouts..."


    "Whine?"


    "There are too many people who fell and died on the cliff of jiuri mountain. They are all poor people. They don''t know they are dead after they die. Every time it''s dark, the lonely soul cries for help here... Don''t you think the cry is empty and hard to find, as if it comes from the ground..."


    Lin Xiyu doesn''t believe in ghosts and gods, but he has to say that when reminded by the woodcutter, listening to the drums carefully really seems to come from the ground without trace.


    So far, Lin Xiyu has to consider whether the situation here is so simple. There was an ugly woodcutter at the foot of the mountain. He was called a monster because of his ferocious appearance. On the ninth day, the mountain rocks were towering. All the missing people slipped off the dark slope and fell off the cliff. In this way, it completes the story of a monster harming people. This kind of ghost Lu Li theory usually comes from this way.


    As for why there are so many missing people in recent months... Lin Xiyu touched wet and greasy clothes. After winter goes and spring comes, the continuous spring rain leads to wet and slippery ground. The south is wet and even the breeze carries water and dew. The wet and slippery ground doesn''t dry all day, so there are more accidents.


    "Listen to me, girl. Go back early. It''s getting late. I''ll go down the mountain first..."


    The woodcutter said that, holding a firewood knife and gently waving it to prevent wild animals in the mountains, he carried a large basket of firewood down the mountain.


    Lin Xiyu dared to wander the Jianghu alone. It''s impossible not to be alert. He was tricked yesterday. He didn''t deal with such a bad opponent and was refreshed to the lower limit. Normally, she''s not stupid.


    She followed the woodcutter quietly for a long time. She found that he was indeed walking down the mountain. She made sure that the drum had nothing to do with him, so she returned.


    Her stubbornness made her go to the center of the drum connection again, and she still got nothing, which determined that she should be as she speculated. On the 9th, the missing people on the mountain had an accident because of the spring rain and slippery road. The so-called monsters are just people who have not seen the woodcutter and are frightened. The unexplained drum sound can only become a knot in her heart. Maybe one day, a scholar who knows geography can explain to her how the unexpected and obscure drum sound is produced.


    I didn''t expect that it was so simple. Lin Xiyu''s excitement was swept away. All that remained was fatigue and emptiness. The steps down the mountain were not as light as when they came.


    Walking to the hillside, Lin Xiyu suddenly stood still, facing a lonely wooden house on the side. She found this cabin when she came up.


    The woodcutter said he was ugly and lived far away from the crowd. He thought this should be his residence. Recalling the woodcutter''s three turns and four times just now, he reminded her that the mountain road was dangerous. He should be a kind-hearted man. Lin Xiyu planned to go over and say hello to the woodcutter so that the woodcutter wouldn''t worry.


    The feet are flexible, like sliding in the wind. Jingyi''s elegant figure appears outside the wooden house for a moment and gropes for the door with her hands.


    "Is anyone there, please? Is Mr. woodcutter there?"


    Lin Xiyu knocked on the door for a while and heard that there was no answer, but he didn''t feel strange.


    When she came over, she didn''t find that there was a pile of firewood cut down by the other party next to the wooden house. All the firewood cut by the wanted woodcutter was sent down the mountain to nearby people that night, presumably to avoid walking in the daytime and frightening people.


    Even if the woodcutter is not there. Thinking of this, I was about to leave when I suddenly heard a gentle slap inside.


    Is there anyone in there? Or a thief? Or the woodcutter didn''t go down the mountain and had a sudden illness in the house and couldn''t answer?


    Lin Xiyu frowned and her eyes twinkled. She had just met something unexplained in the evening. Now she heard strange fragrance in front of the lonely house on the mountain. She was still not at all. She pushed the door a little hard. The wooden door opened with a squeak and walked in.


    "Is anyone there?"


    Still no answer.


    In the house, he couldn''t see his fingers and opened his eyes like a blind man. Lin Xiyu fumbled for a while and found that the furniture in the house was scarce and there was a faint stench. It was quite like a place where a lonely family lived. But strangely enough, since she came in, the slight slap never rang again. She couldn''t help wondering if she had heard wrong outside the door just now.


    As she walked, she felt a crack in the door. It was estimated that this was the woodcutter''s bedroom.


    She gently pushed and pulled. Unexpectedly, the door was tightly closed. She fumbled and found no bolt, indicating that the door was not locked from the outside. So the woodcutter locked the door inside? But why didn''t you answer her?


    She only tangled in her heart for less than a second. Whether she was justified or not, she was not afraid of ten thousand. She was most afraid of what happened. Saving people''s life was better than building a level-7 floating butcher. If the woodcutter was really delayed by a sudden illness, it would be a crime. The big deal is that she will compensate him for this door!


    Lin Xiyu and Li Mengyao can become good sisters. Of course, birds of a feather flock together. They are all people who say they can do it. Then the footwall made a force, stretched out his hand to buckle the door crack to make internal force. With a snap, the door crack was pinched into a larger gap by her fingers, and then with a snap, the whole wooden door was grabbed by her and thrown behind her!


    "Woo Hoo!!"


    The door was just broken, and a figure in the door rushed out! He roared with tears in his mouth and stinks all over his body!


    Lin Xiyu was mature. He knew that he must be careful when wandering in the Jianghu. When he opened the door, he was ready. He felt a sudden change in wind pressure, and immediately flashed sideways. He hit the man with a backhand, splitting him for several meters and hitting the wall.


    "Who are you? Are you a woodcutter?"


    Lin Xiyu walked over carefully. She couldn''t see the man clearly. She could only recognize people by her voice.


    However, she did not see that the man on the ground was purple and black, and could not see his original skin color and appearance. There were only two flesh holes in his eyes, and many parts of his body were rotten and smelly. The wound was thick, and even maggots crawled on it, making people vomit. If you can see clearly, it is absolutely impossible to go forward to check. Timid people even feel their feet soft with fear.


    "Er... I..."


    "What are you talking about?" Lin Xiyu couldn''t hear clearly. He put his hand on the hilt of the sword just in case, and leaned over to listen carefully.


    "Help... Help me..."


    The man pondered for half a moment and suddenly bounced up his hands and grabbed Lin Xiyu''s long hair! Lin Xiyu subconsciously wants to break each other''s hands, but finds that each other''s hands are as hard as iron. It''s unusual to push and shove for a moment!
