Pure dust, my favorite is infinite

Chapter 6 The Goatman's Secret 【6】

Cash transactions only, footsteps outside the room

Ying Wu was tall and tall, and his steps were very fast. In the blink of an eye, he had already arrived at the old lady's side, and his hands were tightly wrapped around the other's collar, and he was about to lift her up!

Obviously, his reason was invaded by anger, and he didn't clearly realize that what he did would strangle the old man to death.

He opened his mouth to continue cursing the old lady, and at the same time increased his strength in his hands.

It was also at this time that a soft hand that seemed to be light but actually shackled his wrist.

"Don't hinder me here!" Ying Wu turned his head and shouted to Jing Chen who was blocking him.

But what everyone present did not expect was that the seemingly weak monk would have such great strength that Ying Wu could only yell with his mouth instead of pulling out his hands.

"Don't get carried away by emotions, do something you'll regret, okay?" When Jing Chen spoke, there was a smile on his lips, looking harmonious, "Unless you want to fight with me, then Just go ahead."

Ying Wu didn't know why, but he sensed the danger, and he also had a premonition that he would lose.

This premonition is very abrupt and has no specific basis.

The opponent's hand made his wrist bones feel like they were going to shatter, and the pain made him calm down a bit, "Let go, I'm too lazy to bother with a crazy old woman over bowls of porridge."

"However... if there is a next time, I won't give in again." After Jing Chen let go of his wrist, Ying Wu turned his wrist, but stared at the old lady threateningly.

Jingchen withdrew his hands, clasped his palms together in front of his chest, and read a sentence in Sanskrit.

The moment he raised his eyes, he saw the mayor's face darken for a moment, but this change was only fleeting.

Maybe it was because his wife was treated like this.

The mayor, who had become pleasant again, turned a blind eye to his wife who was still clutching her neck and coughing. Instead, he looked at Ying Wu and said with a smile, "I haven't finished what I just said."

Everyone quieted down, waiting to hear what the mayor had to say later.

"[-] yuan can buy my sheep, but we can't swipe cards here, we can only accept cash."

It is not particularly strange that such a backward town does not have a POS machine, but if they are asked to take out so much cash, there will be no POS machines.

And...after the old woman made such a fuss, those who wanted to eat meat lost their appetites.

What if the sheep here have mad sheep disease like the old woman? ?

After Ying Wu made such a fuss, the atmosphere became neither awkward nor awkward. Fortunately, the mayor is still adjusting, otherwise they probably wouldn't be able to live here.

"My wife's spirit has not been very good, please bear with me if I offend you, I'm sorry, young man." The latter sentence was addressed to Ying Wu.

Ying Wu was still angry at first, but when all the steps were handed over, he glanced at Jingchen before nodding, and said perfunctorily that it was nothing.

After such a toss, everyone began to feel tired, and each went back to the room to rest.

In the middle of the night, Jing Chen always sleeps very lightly, with vigilance.

It was precisely because of this habit that he woke up to the sound of strange footsteps.

He rubbed his eye sockets, only wearing the single clothes inside, lifted the quilt and got out of bed.

He approached the door without making any noise, so that he could hear the wandering footsteps outside the door more clearly.

The movement was not small and could even be said to be a bit obvious, similar to the crisp sound left by sharp hard objects walking on the wooden floor.

It sounds clear and very coherent and regular.

The sound of hard objects walking seems to be walking back and forth non-stop, but it will only stop when passing the two doors of him and Shen Gong.

After a moment of silence, it will continue to walk around like wandering.

There are no peepholes installed on the doors here, so he can't see the situation outside clearly, but associations began to form in his mind...

This sound is somewhat similar to the feeling of the hooves of animals, such as cow hooves and sheep hooves also make this sound.

But this is still speculation and cannot be regarded as fact. The specifics must be known only after seeing it.

When the footsteps were some distance away from the door, Jingchen opened the door a small gap, and looked out through it.

The corridor was not lit, and only the outline could be seen, but it was enough.

The skin of the silhouette in the distance seems to be covered with thick fur, and its body is like a goat, with thigh muscles.

But after going down from the knee, it becomes a thin shinbone wrapped with a thin layer of skin, and the calf is very thin, and it looks like the black sheep's hoof.

The jaw-dropping footsteps are the result of the hooves on the wooden floor, and the monster's legs appear to be leaping and aggressive.

But the opponent's face was blocked by the long hair, so he couldn't see clearly. From the horns and white hair on the head, Jing Chen could tell that this was not the monster that appeared on the mountain.

The monster turned around abruptly, just planning to leave.

Jing Chen looked at the other party's back, and he always felt familiar... Where could he have seen it?

Suddenly, the extremely close vision perception brought him back to his senses!

Shen Gong in the next room didn't rest either, he just opened the door and leaned against the door frame, looking at him through the crack of the door: "What did you see just now?"

It seems that Shen Gong also noticed the footsteps just like Jing Chen.

That's right... the sound of the goat's hooves is hard to ignore in the dark.

Jingchen opened the door, nodded slightly as a greeting, and paid more attention to the opponent's abdomen without any trace of eyes: "Here, there are monsters."

The so-called monks don't tell lies, and they are very frank at this time, although he has beaten a lot.

Shen Gong was dressed in the same way as in the daytime. He wore a brand-name plain black jacket with a nice shape and suitable size. He wore black overalls and high-top hiking boots of the same color.

It seems that it is almost integrated with the night, and because of this mystery, it gives people a strange feeling.

And it was this kind of dress that allowed Jingchen to judge that the other party was not asleep, otherwise he wouldn't be so neatly dressed.

Shen Gong stared at Jingchen's beautiful face for a while, and there was a strange atmosphere in the air. His pale and bloodless lips suddenly curled up, and his tone mocked: "Monster? Isn't the human heart a monster?"

"It's better to be careful." Even though Shen Gong's attitude was not friendly, Jing Chen still gave a word of advice out of kindness.

Shen Gong let out a deep laugh, without saying a word, straightened up and walked into the room without further words.

After the other party disappeared, Jingchen took a breath through his nasal cavity, closed his eyes and felt a strange breath.

The air seems to have become humid, and it smells a bit like sea breeze, it's not unpleasant, on the contrary, it's refreshing.

The next morning.

Standing among a group of people, Jing Chen was unexpectedly the one in the best condition present.

Most people are more or less obviously tired, and their eye sockets are bruised, obviously they are not well rested.

Because of the behavior of the old lady during the meal yesterday, they stopped eating at the same table with the two old people.

The mayor had given up the dining table to them, and the old couple ate in the room instead.

According to the mayor, it was to avoid a second accidental conflict. Even though Jingchen said he didn't mind, the other party still did it.

Ying Wu and the others took it for granted. Although they lived and ate for free, if they wanted to eat with a crazy woman, it would be better not to have this treatment.

Biting the steamed bun in her hand, Peng Yun lowered her voice and whispered, "Did you hear any noise last night? It sounded like a rattling sound, constantly stepping on the floor."

She couldn't believe that she was the only one who heard it. In fact, everyone could hear it, except Ying Wu.

Ying Wu's sleeping Xiang, after knowing that other people have such experiences, cursed and said: "This damn place, it still disturbs people's sleep at night, it's a pain to stay here!"

Peng Yun agreed with the location, and then turned to look at the surrounding fog, which was still the same as when she came to the town yesterday, very heavy.

If possible, I really want to leave now...

After a similarly light breakfast, he felt a little idle.

There was nothing else to see in this town other than a group of residents who stared at them like monkeys, so they didn't want to go shopping to pass the time.

Instead, he chose to pass the time at the mayor's house, chatting and playing poker with him.

The mayor has already gone out to do errands, leaving only the mayor's wife who has disappeared.

They were playing in the living room, and the sound of laughing came from time to time, gradually finding fun.

The atmosphere is relaxed and cheerful, and it would have been more perfect if it weren't for the occasional loud meowing of the sheep in the yard.

Because Ying Wu drank a lot of water and felt bloated, he let go of the poker in his hand, let someone else take his place, and walked towards the bathroom alone.

He was still flushed with excitement, because he was too tall, and he had to bend down before entering the bathroom, otherwise he would bump into the door frame.

After satisfying his physical needs, he stood in the sink outside the bathroom to wash his hands, still whistling...

"Fuck, why is the light off?!"

While he was in a good mood, his face changed instantly, his eyes looked around, but he couldn't see clearly.

It seemed that a monster with a human body and a goat's head broke into his field of vision. Although he couldn't be sure, Ying Wu's heart skipped a beat.

After all, this appearance is really deformed. Could it be the same monster that wandered outside our door last night?

"Who are you??" Ying Wu yelled, and at the same time fumbled in his hands in a panic, looking for a weapon for self-defense, and finally he was lucky enough to hold a steel pipe.

The shadow approached him step by step, and the eyes that had adapted to the darkness were gradually able to see the whole picture clearly.

The monster finally spoke, his voice was dry and piercing, which made Ying Wu's heart feel as if being clenched by a big hand...

"Get out of here, this is not where you should be."
