When Zhang Nan carried the seven corpses back to the entrance of the village, it was already dawn. At this time, many people had gathered in the village, and the village chief was leading the pack. He looked at the seven corpses on the ground and frowned, as if there was a haze above his head.

"How did you find them, and where? Do you know how my brother died? " Zhang Huai Wu looked at Zhang Nan, feeling both grief and suspicion at the same time.

"I found them in the city's temple, it took me a whole night to drag them back." Zhang Nan said truthfully.

"You're lying?" Zhang Huaiwu roared, "How many times have we been to that temple? Why didn't we see the corpses and you brought them back? It's still the middle of the night. Tell me honestly, is their death related to you?"

Hearing that, everyone's suspicious look turned to Zhang Nan, facing their sinister gazes, Zhang Nan anxiously retreated a few steps.

"I, I didn't, really, really found it in a city temple." Zhang Nan wanted to explain something, but he suddenly remembered that Zhang Huali and the others took out their hearts from outside his house. It was only because he did not open the door to allow them in that they took out their hearts.

"I think this matter is related to you …" Zhang Huai Wu pointed at Zhang Nan and was about to say something, but the Old Village Chief stopped him.

"Come and take a look." As he spoke, the village chief lifted the clothes of Zhang Huaili and the others.

Everyone looked over, only to see that there was a big hole on each of the seven corpses' chests. It was bloody, and the wound looked pitch-black. Clearly, their hearts had been dug out.

"My heart has been taken away. What are you looking at?" Zhang Huanwu unhappily said as he swung his arm.

"I meant to show you these hairs on the wound." As the Old Village Chief spoke impatiently, everyone turned to look at him. It was as the Old Village Chief had said, there were many white hairs around the wound, all of which had been dyed red by the blood.

"What, can you still blame Zhang Nan? This was obviously left behind by the fox. " The old elder picked up a handful of fur, looked at Zhang Huai Wu, and then looked at everyone: "If the fox demon is not coming out, then the village will not be at peace. We must think of a way to get rid of the fox demon."

"But how did Zhang Nan find them in the middle of the night?" Zhang Huai Wu still held onto this question and continued to suspect Zhang Nan.

"What, can't I get it back? Do you want to see if anyone can find them and bring them back? "You wish to see them die in the wilderness?" Zhang Nan looked at Zhang Huai Wu, and for some reason, at this moment, he felt uncomfortable, and even angry, at the thought that Zhang Huai Wu was suspicious of him.

He had nearly lost his life last night, you know, in order to recover the seven bodies, but now he was under suspicion.

"This matter isn't that easy to deal with. Let me tell you, you'd better be honest. If you let me get a hold of something about you harming the villagers, then I won't forgive you." Zhang Huai Wu said, he looked at Zhang Nan fiercely, then took Zhang Huai Li's body and left.

Zhang Nan looked at Zhang Huai Wu's disappearing figure. He did not know why, but at that moment, Zhang Nan felt that Zhang Huai Wu would bring him a lot of trouble …

When Zhang Nan returned home, the thought of Zhang Huai Li begging him to open the door when he was on his knees at the entrance, the scene of the beasts digging out his own heart was plastered on his mind.

In the afternoon, Zhang Nan still decided to visit Zhang Huai Li as a form of consolation to send Zhang Huai Li on his final journey.

But when he arrived at Zhang Huai Li's home, the scene in front of him astounded Zhang Nan …

Zhang Huaiwu was kneeling in front of the door, glaring furiously. His eyes were bloodshot, as if he was looking at an enemy.

What was even more terrifying was that Zhang Huaiwu's hand was holding a bloody heart. It was his own heart. A huge wound was torn open on his chest, and blood was still pouring out.

"How, how did this happen?" Zhang Nan opened his eyes wide, he could not believe what he had just seen.

"Save, save me!" But right at that moment, Zhang Huaiwu spoke up. A person without a heart actually spoke up.

Zhang Nan was so scared that his entire body was shivering, he was sweating cold sweat, but he still followed along.

"It's, it's him, he killed us all …" As Zhang Huanwu spoke, he slowly lowered his head, unwillingness evident in his eyes.

"Zhang Huaiwu, Zhang Huaiwu?" Zhang Nan shook Zhang Huai Wu with all his might, but he was already dead, and even his corpse was ice cold.

But Zhang Nan could not understand, why did the corpse turn stiff, while Zhang Huai Wu could still speak? This, why was this happening?

"Zhang Nan, let go of my hand?" But just at that moment, the village chief brought his men to the door, his cold voice made Zhang Nan shiver, as though he felt guilty.

The village chief rushed in with his men, looking at the bloody Zhang Huai Wu and the heart on the ground, the village chief was enraged, and sent Zhang Nan rolling out with a slap.

"You are a murderous demon. This morning, Zhang Huaiwu suspected that you killed Zhang Huaili and the others. I didn't expect you to be the murderer. You even killed Zhang Huaiwu?" "Tell me, how much more do you need to kill?"

The village chief pointed at Zhang Nan, and said those words word by word, as though he wanted to tear Zhang Nan apart. The villagers at the side were also looking at Zhang Nan with righteous indignation, since their families had all died.

"No, Village Head, no, I didn't do it. I … I just came to look for Zhang Huaili, but … I didn't expect to see him dead right after I came in. I really didn't kill him." Zhang Nan shook his head with all his might, but his hands were covered with Zhang Huai Wu's blood, the village head and the rest had all seen Zhang Huai Wu fall in his hands, who would believe that?

"Village Chief, don't talk so much and just kill him. I think he is sent by the fox demon, otherwise, how could so many people die in the village and be found by him? I do not believe in coincidences."

"Yeah, kill him, kill him!"

"What Zhang ShengLi? He's a homicidal maniac."

For a moment, the entire courtyard was filled with the sounds of's punishment. Zhang Nan looked at the crowd in despair.

"Drive him out of the zhangjiazun. From today onwards, he will no longer belong to my zhangjiazun." The Old Village Chief waved his hand and everyone charged forward, pushing and chasing Zhang Nan out of the village.

Boom …

As soon as he left the village, thunder roared in the sky and heavy rain came pouring down in an instant. It was as if the heavens were feeling sad that Zhang Nan had been wrongly accused.

Zhang Nan stood among the larger ones, and at this moment, his emotions were very complicated. He had lived in the zhangjiazun for twenty years, and he had always wanted to stand on justice, hoping that he would one day make some contributions to the village.

But at this time, what Zhang Nan didn't know was that somewhere behind him, a pair of eyes was secretly staring at him. Those pair of eyes were filled with worry, looking at Zhang Nan, she started to cry amidst the rain: "Sorry, I have no choice."

Zhang Nan had nowhere else to go. After thinking for a bit, he decided to go to the neighboring village to find old Heavenly Master. Perhaps, old Heavenly Master could help him.

"What, have they been chased out?" Seeing Zhang Nan, old Heavenly Master was not surprised at all.

"I …" Zhang Nan shamefully lowered his head, he did not know where to start.

"Don't say anything else, let's go in first." The old Heavenly Master smiled kindly, making Zhang Nan feel even more familiar with him.

"These are my little disciple Song Yang's clothes, you should change into them first." old Heavenly Master very quickly took out a piece of cloth and passed it to Zhang Nan: "They are all scheming like this, and do not count for much. They thought that just by chasing you out of the village, they would be able to succeed.

"old Heavenly Master, what are you talking about? Why can't I understand a single word?" Zhang Nan looked at old Heavenly Master in puzzlement.

old Heavenly Master waved his hand, he did not answer Zhang Nan's question, but instead asked a bone chilling question: "Have you ever seen a fox demon eat people's hearts?"
