C465 Lead Wolf into the House
In a dimly lit room, about thirteen or fourteen people stood.
The room was small to begin with. With these people standing together, it was obvious that the small room had become even darker.
There was a person lying on the bed with his eyes closed. From the looks of it, he seemed to be sleeping.
"Village Chief, what should we do? Should we hand over this person?" The one who spoke was none other than Yellowstone.
Looking at the man on the bed and then looking at the surrounding people, he could not help but sigh. "I guess it's fine. An outsider, looking very young, isn't this a sin on our part?"
"Sin?" Hearing his words, a middle-aged man raised his voice, "If it's sinful, we've been doing it since a long time ago. This time, the delivery time is getting closer and closer. If we don't hand him over, do you want to hand him over to us?"
The moment this person spoke, he had earned the approval of others.
"That's right. Village Chief, I know that you have a kind heart. However, don't you think that we are capable of provoking you?" If we hand over one person now, we will hand over ten people. Moreover, we have already turned in that many people, so we don't need to miss a single one of them! "
"That's right. Right now, we are also living a life of fear and trepidation. Who knows when that lord will be happy and accept us all?" Now that you have a life to change, it's best if you don't hesitate anymore, Village Head. "
"That's right, Village Head, now is not the time for you to slap our faces to make us fat, the lives of our entire village are tied to you. Think of our sister-in-law, think of Little Xing, how can the lives of so many of us not be worth the lives of an outsider?"
Everyone said a few words one after another, causing that Village Chief Huang to be at a loss for words.
His lips trembled as he looked at the figure on the bed. He knew that if he agreed, this person's life would be gone.
However, if he did not agree, then the lives of everyone in the village would most likely be lost.
Thus, at a time like this, for the sake of an outsider, he really could not afford to lose the life of the entire village.
In the dusky room, no one spoke. They were all waiting for the Village Chief to make his final decision. After a long time, he finally opened his mouth and said, "Since that's the case, let … let's do him."
"Alright!" Everyone quickly responded.
Then, Huang Shi called out to the two strong young men to come up with him, intending to carry the person on the bed down.
However, the moment the three of them touched the figure on the bed, that person actually slowly disappeared in front of everyone.
"What …" Yellowstone cried out in fear as he hurriedly retreated. The two people beside him also took a few steps back in fright, before finally falling to the ground on their butts.
Everyone quickly raised their heads and asked what was wrong, only to see that the person on the bed had suddenly disappeared. Everyone was stunned and their faces were filled with fear.
"What is it? Scared? Who said that they would capture me and send me away? "
Suddenly, a clear and cold voice sounded out from the door, causing everyone to suddenly turn around.
He saw that a figure had appeared at the door. Who else could it be other than Zhou Yi?
"You … Why are you there? " The first one to react was Huang Shi. He pointed at Zhou Yi and said with a tremble.
"Me?" Zhou Yi smiled and said, "I've been here the whole time. It's just that you guys have been wanting to kill me. Of course you haven't seen me!"
At this moment, the village chief suddenly came out from the crowd and said, "Little brother, please spare them. This is all my idea and has nothing to do with them. I beg you, please let them go."
When everyone heard this, their faces alternated between shades of green and red.
It was obvious that everyone had urged the Village Head to hand the man over. Now that he had turned his head, the village head had come out to take the blame.
"Oh?" Hearing this, Zhou Yi raised his eyebrows and smiled: "I would like to ask, where do you want me to go?"
Actually, what Zhou Yi wanted to know the most was if they made him faint, or if there was something else, or if they found the devil soul in his body and wanted it for themselves.
However, when Zhou Yi heard the conversation between these people, he rejected the idea that he had.1
If they truly were here for the Demon Soul, they would directly search for the Demon Soul and not discuss whether or not to hand him over.
But where to put it? That was another problem.
Seeing that Zhou Yi didn't intend to pursue the matter, but ask about it, the fear in their hearts also dissipated quite a bit.
After a pause, the Village Chief forced a smile and said, "We were forced to do this. If we don't hand over you, we have to hand over someone. If there's no one else, it can only be us!"
"What is going on?" Zhou Yi slowly walked into the room and sat down on the bed.
"It's like this!" Seeing that the surrounding people were silent, the Village Head bowed and replied helplessly, "A few years ago, a person suddenly came to the village …"
The reason why the Cliff Village was called the Cliff Village was because the village was previously built on the edge of a cliff.
However, this cliff gradually disappeared with the changes of the times.
However, the people who lived here had passed on their teachings from generation to generation.
The villagers had always been very cordial towards outsiders, and had never been on guard against anyone.
However, that day, a person came. That person claimed to be injured, and the village head brought him to the only person in the village who knew some medical skills.
During the day, they treated the visitors, and at night, everyone went back to their own homes to rest.
No one knew what kind of person he had brought into the village, and they had no idea that he was leading the wolf into the house.
The next morning, the doctor's family mysteriously disappeared. When everyone arrived, they only found the patient who was still unconscious.
The entire village searched for a day, but still couldn't find the missing family of three.
Helpless, he could only send the patient back to another home.
It was a quiet night and nothing happened the next day. However, there was still no sign of the patient waking up.
Since the only person in the village who could see the patient was missing, everyone could only discuss how to deal with this injured person.
They didn't even know where this person's injury was. He could have spoken when he came here, so why did he suddenly faint?
Helpless, everyone is discussing that if the person still hasn't woken up in three days, they should still think of a way to send him to a place where he can be treated.
However, no one would've thought that the decision that they had made would nearly put the entire village in a dead end.
The next morning, the family of five who had taken in the injured person had all disappeared.
There was no sign or sign, and it just disappeared.
She even maintained the appearance of a person on the blanket.
This time, they vaguely felt something, but they were unsure if it was true or not.
It was only when the third family disappeared that they finally confirmed the matter that they were not sure of. At this moment, the person who had been lying on the bed for several days and nights suddenly opened his eyes …
