The straight-line distance between the village chief’s house was only 200 meters from the square, but the two walked for ten minutes.

The terrain is really too complicated, and there are law enforcement teams patrolling the road. Lin Xiao didn't want to cause any trouble, so he had to take one step at a time and try not to cause any movement.

Fortunately, Yu Liang was familiar with the road, so he finally took him to the outside of the square and saw the wooden tower close by.

There are about twenty meters between the two wooden towers, and the whole body is gray, perhaps closer to black, but the night is too dark and it is hard to see clearly.

The towering and upright wooden tower stands quietly on the ground like two giants in the world, guarding a pure land.

"Brother Lin, why are you suddenly interested in this wooden tower?

I heard that this thing has been around since ancient times, but no one knows what is in the tower, and even the villagers have rarely entered it."

Yu Liang knew some inside information and patiently introduced and explained to Lin Xiao.

"It's just curiosity," Lin Xiao smiled quietly, "Okay, go back, I'll see it myself. I've remembered the way back."

Yu Liang quickly pulled Lin Xiao's arm tightly and said anxiously: "Brother Lin, you promised me not to approach the wooden tower. The tower is really evil. It's midnight. What if something happens?"

"I just walked closer and took a look, it's okay."

Lin Xiao pushed his hand away and said lightly, "If you are not at ease, just guard by your side."

"But..." Yu Liang looked melancholy, but Lin Xiao had already taken big steps towards the wooden tower.

As we got closer, the structure and material of the wooden tower became more and more clear. Lin Xiao finally confirmed that these two wooden towers and the wooden tower in Wangjia Village were completely built of the same material.

"It really matters."

Lin Xiao looked up at the tower and murmured.

When I walked to the tower, the main entrance was locked by chains. A very unusual lock was tied to the chain, which was about the size of an adult man's palm. It was semicircular in the whole. The surface of the lock was painted with a strange picture, which looked like a gossip picture, but it was too old and it was blurred.

Lin Xiao tried to pull the big lock a few times, without any sign of loosening, and it was almost impossible to force it to break it.

"What secret is hidden inside?"

Lin Xiao frowned and slowly pressed his ear against the door and listened quietly without any sound.

Crash! Suddenly, a slight sound of iron chains came from the tower. Although it was very light, it could not escape Lin Xiao's ears.

“Huh?

Is there any movement?"

Lin Xiao was a little surprised. The lock of the tower door had obviously not been opened for many years. The windows on the tower also showed that there was no sign of dust in many places. Logically, there should not be any living creatures.

Moreover, there is no ventilation on all sides and no wind-affected factors, which is strange.

"Brother Lin, is it okay?

Have you seen enough?

Let's go quickly, the patrol is here."

Yu Liang lowered his voice and shouted.

Lin Xiao waved his hand at him and signaled that he would not be impatient. He would continue to observe for a while.

Yu Liang was very anxious. The patrol team had already turned around at the end of the alley and would turn around immediately. When they saw the two of them, they could not explain clearly even if they had any reason.

Although I had dinner with the Presbyterian Church and Commander Meng at night, it was all for Lin Xiao's sake. If I was caught by the law enforcement team, I sneaked out in the middle of the night and had no good results.

After thinking about it, Yu Liang didn't dare to approach the wooden tower, and now he couldn't care about so much, so he ran towards Lin Xiao.

Lin Xiao was about to climb to the top of the tower to check one or two. When he saw Yu Liang coming over, he said, "It just so happens that you can hear if there is any movement in the tower!"

Yu Liang didn't care about listening to any movement and said anxiously: "Brother Lin, what are you listening to?"

Are there rats?

Let's go quickly, it's still time to leave now."

"What are you afraid of?

We don’t steal or rob, we just take a look.”

Lin Xiao waved his hand indifferently.

"Ouch! I can't even tell if I get caught. The wooden tower is a very important building in Qinggou Village, especially Oulan. I attach great importance to it. We ran over in the middle of the night and sneaked. What would people think?"

Lin Xiao laughed silently, "I didn't break the tower, nor did I destroy the building materials. I just wanted to visit it. Even if I was caught, it would be fine."

"You're okay, I'm fine!"

Yu Liang cried with a sad face, raised his ears and listened for a long time, and his footsteps were getting closer and closer. He hurriedly pulled Lin Xiao and dragged him behind the tower.

Lin Xiao had no choice but to follow him to hide behind the tower.

The footsteps came soon, and the patrol personnel of the law enforcement team appeared in the square and walked straight towards the wooden tower.

Patroling the wooden tower area every night is a necessary task for the law enforcement team. No matter which team is on duty, the wooden tower area must be thoroughly inspected from front, back, left, left and right, and no mistakes are allowed.

"Wait a moment!"

Suddenly, the team leader who was in office raised his hand to stop the team from moving forward and said with a puzzled look on his face, "It seems that there was something happening just now. Did you hear it?"

Everyone shook their heads in a daze, a small dwarf walked out of the team and said with a smile: "Captain Yang, I'm suspicious again. Didn't a cat chase a snake last time?"

"It's not like the sound of a cat, it's like the sound of footsteps."

Team Yang looked alert and stared at the wooden tower not far away, saying in a deep voice, "Before leaving, Lord Oulan, please be sure to protect the wooden tower and never allow anyone to approach without reason, otherwise it will violate the clan rules and be killed without mercy!"

The cold tone of the words "Kill Wuhuai" made everyone shudder.

"What Team Yang said is that we must be careful. Last time, the second nephew of Aya's family secretly ran to the side of the tower in the middle of the night, and the last time the whole family was executed by Lord Oulan. This punishment is much more ruthless than before."

"I don't know why Lord Oulan is so nervous about this wooden tower. His second nephew is just a child. He is curious for a while and then he ends up with the whole family burying him. Alas!"

Everyone was silent and was so scared that they felt cold when they mentioned the past. They didn't even dare to discuss it.

"Okay! You spread apart and carefully check the wooden tower area. You must not let go of the sneaky person. The whereabouts of Lin Xiao who came today are very suspicious. Commander Meng said that you must be careful!"

"yes!"

Everyone agreed and their expressions became even more nervous at the same time. They were really afraid that Lin Xiao would come out to make trouble. With these people, they would definitely not be their opponents. Once a conflict occurred, they would only increase casualties.

Yu Liang's expression was ugly. He was not afraid of death, but being caught in this situation would probably not be as simple as death.

It is said that Qinggou Village has a very heavy punishment, which is to throw people into a pile of poisonous snakes and scorpions, and be bitten to death by those poisonous substances, and eventually turn into a pool of stinky water.

Thinking of that terrifying way of death, Yu Liang's body couldn't help but tremble.

"Brother Lin, there is still a chance to leave now. It's really over if it's late. Have you heard what they just said?

If we were caught, the people in Qinggou Village would definitely turn against each other."

Lin Xiao frowned. He didn't expect that Oulan would attach so much importance to the wooden tower. The current situation was discovered by the law enforcement team, and he really couldn't explain it clearly.
