I felt a pain in my neck and a strong suffocating feeling came over me. My legs that were hanging in the air swayed back and forth, but I didn't manage to land on the ground.

In just a few seconds, my face had started to turn red and my veins were popping out. I struggled to pull at the rope, only to find that it was already in the flesh, and with my weight, I couldn't pull it out.

My throat was sore and itchy, and I couldn't cough.

My mind went blank, leaving only my instincts to struggle. Vaguely, I saw 'Liu Qiang' retreating. As he retreated, he stared at me and sneered. Soon, he disappeared from my sight.

When my life was in danger, what I thought of was not fear, but all sorts of unwillingness. I didn't expect that I would actually die on the locust tree after escaping one tribulation after another. Together with many other villagers, I hung myself on the tree.

As my arms and legs twitched and my consciousness began to fade, I felt my neck lighten and I fell heavily to the ground.

In a daze, I heard someone call my name, and soon, a sweet smell wafted over me, and then I felt myself being lifted into a soft embrace. The embrace was very fragrant and soft, giving me a familiar feeling.

I struggled to open my eyes and saw a beautiful face anxiously looking at me. This face had eyebrows as long as a painting and eyes as bright as the stars. Under her delicate nose, her pink lips curled up as she let out a voice as pleasant as an oriole. It was truly breathtakingly beautiful.

In a daze, I felt deeply intoxicated, as if I had seen a fairy.

When I recovered a little, I saw that the face belonged to Xiaoyun. "Xiao Yun, dressed in a red qipao and holding a red paper umbrella, was lying on the ground some distance away from the locust tree.

"Brother Changsheng, are you alright?"

Xiao Yun kneeled on the ground and looked at me worriedly. My head was resting on her lap, soft and comfortable with a light fragrance.

I let out a long breath, as if I had just survived a disaster.

Seeing Xiao Yun, I was both surprised and happy. "Xiao Yun, why are you here?"

Xiao Yun looked at me gently, then helped me wipe off the stains on my face and said softly, "I felt that you were in danger, so I immediately rushed over. Brother Changsheng, I am truly sorry. It was I who came late and caused you to suffer so much. "

Xiao Yun lowered her head, somewhat blaming himself.

I smiled. My voice was still hoarse. "Don't be silly. Without your help, I would have died long ago. I don't even have the time to thank you. Why would I blame you?" Oh right, where have you been these two days? I was worried about not seeing you. "

Xiao Yun's eyes looked a little evasive as she forced out a smile, "I have some matters to take care of in the past few days. It's an important matter, but … I can't tell you about this. I hope you'll forgive me. "

"It's fine. Everyone is keeping secrets from me anyway, so it's not that bad." I smiled nonchalantly. Although I'm very curious, I won't force Xiao Yun. I know she has a lot of skills, and she has a lot of secrets on her person.

However, since she didn't want to say it, I wouldn't force her. After all, she had saved my life many times.

At this time, Xiao Yun seemed to have thought of something, and asked me nervously: "Brother Changsheng, why would you appear in this desolate village? Don't you know this is a Ghost Village? "

I smiled bitterly and said, "I didn't know it before, but now, I understand. As for the reason why I'm here, I'll have to talk about it alone. "

Then I told him about the man in the suit and what had happened in the last two days.

After hearing that, Xiao Yun's face changed, and her eyebrows immediately furrowed.

I asked her what was wrong.

Xiao Yun looked at me seriously and said: "Brother Changsheng, you have been deceived! This was not a Gate of Life, but a Gate of Death! A big dead gate! "

"What?" I was stunned, unable to react.

Xiao Yun frowned and said: "The village is split into two, one yin and one yang, this is indeed the biggest turning point of the world. But the problem was that this Ghost Village was not a Gate of Life, but a place where the Yin Qi existed, a true door of death! The kind that meant no life and death! All those who entered, none of them would be able to leave this place alive! This is basically the person who turned the tables on you, deliberately deceiving you! "

Hearing this, it was as if lightning struck my body and cold sweat flowed down my body. I couldn't recover for a long time.

If the suited man wanted to kill me, why did he save me before?

When I asked out the doubt in my heart, Xiao Yun shook his head and said, "I don't know what goal this person has, but I can confirm that he definitely had ill intentions when bringing you to this death's door. Didn't you notice? From the moment you entered the Ghost Village, you already could not leave! "

Hearing Xiao Yun's words, I suddenly felt a chill down my spine.

That's right, from the moment he entered Ghost Village, the suited man seemed to have been a little abnormal. First, it was the Ghost Treasure Pagoda. Afterwards, he made me sleep in the Blood Coffin s, and if there was nothing inside, that's fine. But if there was something inside, and I opened the coffin, wouldn't that be courting death?

The most important thing is that even though he knew that the Ghost Village were dangerous, he actually left me alone here. When I suggested to leave together with him, he even deliberately found an excuse to leave me behind.

But the question is, why?

Why would he do that? If you really want to kill me, there's plenty of opportunities in the forest, but why must you imprison me in this Ghost Village? He even lied to me about where the Gate of Life was.

In the end, it was a trap that he couldn't get out of. What purpose did he have? Could it be that he, like those other things, was trying to get something from me?

Thinking about this, I couldn't calm down. First my uncle, then the man in the suit, all the people who helped me, all of them with a certain intent, even with the intention of harming me, but in the end I didn't know anything.

If Xiao Yun had not pointed out that Ghost Village was a door of death, I would not have doubted the man in the suit at all. To be deceived by a trusting person was a very uncomfortable feeling.

I let out a breath, and asked Xiao Yun what I should do next, is there any way to get out of this Ghost Village?

Xiao Yun looked around, then shook her head and said, "Brother Changsheng, after night falls, we can only enter and not exit, I'm afraid we can't leave right now. If we wait until day time, there might be a glimmer of hope. "

I was elated and hurriedly said, "Alright! Then we'll find a place to hide and wait until dawn. "

Hearing what I said, Xiao Yun's face turned ugly.

When I asked her what was the matter, she shook her head and didn't say much, but she looked a little worried.

Time passed by, and with Xiao Yun by my side, my heart felt a lot more at ease. Although I didn't know what her identity was, I was sure that Xiao Yun was quite capable, otherwise she wouldn't have been able to save me just now.

Towards that locust tree, I was truly terrified from the bottom of my heart. Somehow, I dropped a rope and almost died because of it. Even the Blind Grandma did not dare to stay long in front of the locust tree.

Come to think of it, ever since Xiao Yun had appeared, there hadn't been a single abnormality in my surroundings.

The only strange thing was that as time passed, Xiao Yun's expression became more and more anxious.

When it was six in the morning, and the sky was suffused with the color of fish belly white, Xiao Yun couldn't help but stand up and speak to me anxiously, "Brother Changsheng, I have to go. You must be careful of that person!"

I was a little curious, I grabbed Xiao Yun and asked: "What's wrong? Is something wrong? "

Xiao Yun looked at the sky, her expression exceptionally anxious: "I have something urgent to attend to, if I don't leave now, I might not be able to make it in time."

Seeing Xiao Yun like that, I became even more confused, and said: "Xiao Yun, if you leave, who will bring me out of Ghost Village? If I can't get out, I'm afraid I won't be able to keep my life. "

Listening to me, Xiao Yun panicked, and looked like she wanted to say something but stopped.

With this delay, the sun had already risen from the mountains, gradually enveloping the village.

Xiao Yun trembled, the anxious look on her face disappeared and was replaced with a wry smile.

She extended both her hands and gently held my face as she softly said, "Brother Changsheng, no matter what happens later, you must remember this … "I …"

Before his voice fell, the sunlight had already shone onto Xiao Yun's body.

Right at that moment, Xiao Yun's face suddenly changed. Her smile disappeared in an instant, and her face darkened.

The gentleness in her eyes had disappeared, replaced by a touch of coldness. It was a bone-piercing coldness, as if something had changed.

She stared at me like a wolf staring at its prey.

When I met her eyes, I shuddered for some reason. Curious, I asked her what was wrong. She didn't say anything, just stared at me.

Just as I was wondering, she suddenly moved. She grabbed me by the neck with one hand and lifted me up with frightening strength.

At that moment, her face was dark and hostile.

"Who are you?" She looked at me coldly.
