Chapter 214 The hero is a ghost
Li Jian and the other two looked at each other, "Let's go in!" Yang Zhan also followed.
The four of them went to the village. When they came to the gate of the first house closest to the entrance of the village, they heard a fierce barking sound from the yard.
However, the barking of the dog not only did not scare Li Jian and Yang Zhan, but instead felt relieved. It was too quieter than before, but now the barking of the dog made them feel a little normal.
Li Jian went up and knocked on the door: "Is anyone?"
When the dog barked even more fiercely when he heard the voices of strangers.
"Dangdang--12 o'clock--"
After waiting for a long time, the four of them heard the sound of a big clock telling the time from the room, and then the footsteps came from the yard, and Li Jian's knocking on the door also stopped.
With a "squeak", the gate of the courtyard was opened. An old man with gray hair opened his eyes and looked at Li Jian and the other four people with some difficulty, and asked weakly: "Who are you?"
Li Jian replied: "We are travelers who have traveled on holidays. Our car broke down outside. This place where there is no village or shop in front of the village, so we can only abandon the car and walk. Fortunately, when we found your village, we wanted to stay in your village for a few days and wait for someone to pick us up. Is it OK?"
The old man hesitated for a while and said, "You have to ask the patriarch for this."
Li Jian narrowed his eyes slightly, patriarch? Judging from the old man's clothes, it is also the dress of modern people. The village chief should be the one who is in charge of the village?
He asked, “Do you have no village chief in your village?”
While taking them to the patriarch's house, the old man said, "Our patriarch is the village chief, and the whole village has the same surname." Speaking of this, the old man showed a proud look on his face.
Li Jian continued to ask about the situation in the village, and tried to talk about the topic of "Fate" or "Supernatural Events". However, the old man was very alert and basically told him that he was only irrelevant information, and nothing really important was revealed.
Zhang Tong and Fu Xiaoxiao listened to the conversation between Li Jian and the old man and silently extracted useful messages.
Only Yang Zhan looked around with a bored look on his face. To him, Li Jian was just talking to the old man, and he couldn't hear anything, let alone extracting important information from the details.
Yang Zhan looked around and suddenly noticed that a little boy climbed up the high courtyard wall in a blue brick house and wanted to jump to the big tree outside the courtyard wall. He was so scared that his heart was pounding and he shouted: "Can't jump!"
He rushed towards the little boy.
The little boy who was yelled at the yard wall was standing shaking and not jumping, and his round eyes looked at Yang Zhan.
Yang Zhan stood under the courtyard wall and shouted to the little boy: "There are dangers above, come down quickly! Is there a ladder in your courtyard wall? Go down the ladder!"
Li Jian and the other two noticed this scene, and the old man also saw the situation there. The old man, who had originally had some inconvenience in his legs and feet, ran over and said: "Oh! Gou Dan'er, why have you climbed up the wall again? Are your parents not at home? Little ancestors come down quickly!"
The little boy named Goudan'er made a face to Yang Zhan and the old man: "A little bit~"
The old man's face sank and shouted at the top of his throat: "Fuck Gou Dan'er! Come out and take Gou Dan'er back to the house, he has climbed over the wall again!"
Soon a woman screamed and scolded in the room: "Get out of here!"
The naughty child, who was still proud just now, could only crawl down with a sad face when he saw his mother rushing towards him with a feather duster. Soon, the child's crying sound came out with the screams and scolding.
Yang Zhan, who was so upset by the naughty child, felt very happy when he listened.
<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
This kind of naughty child and the noise of parents beating their children not only prevents Li Jian and others from feeling noisy, but also makes them feel a little more realistic.
No matter how much noise is, it is much better than the previous strangely quiet situation.
Yang Zhan asked casually: "When I came in before, I found that the village was very quiet, but now I feel a little angry."
When I just passed by a family, I heard the sound of a couple quarreling inside.
The old man smiled and said, "Everyone must cook at home from eleven o'clock to twelve o'clock, and you can't hang out, so of course it's quiet."
Yang Zhan was just asking casually, but after hearing the old man's answer, he suddenly felt something was wrong in his heart.
From 11:00 to 12:00, everyone must cook at home?
Although this hour is indeed the time to cook lunch, it is impossible for every household to cook lunch within this hour, right? Then the word "must" is worth pondering.
Yang Zhan asked: "Does you have to make lunch within this hour?"
Perhaps because Yang Zhan's behavior of advising the little boy Goudan'er not to climb the wall just now made the old man feel good, so when he asked, the old man did not avoid answering or was vague as he did to Li Jian, he lowered his voice and reminded: "Every day from 6:00 to 7:00, from 11:00 to 12:00, from 5:00 to 6:00 to 6:00, from 11:00 to 6:00 in the morning, is bedtime. If you live in our village, you must live according to this schedule. You must not make any mistakes, otherwise..."
The old man looked up at Yang Zhan.
Because the old man was much shorter than Yang Zhan, he looked up and seemed to roll his eyes at Yang Zhan. His turbid eyes rolled up, revealing blood-covered whites of his eyes. Yang Zhan was slightly shocked.
Frightened by the old man's eyes raised, Yang Zhan smiled embarrassedly and said, "Okay, I'll write it down."
Gu Wenjing's voice rang in his mind: "You'd better do as the old man said first, and don't try to challenge the arrangements of fate before finding the Book of Destiny."
Yang Zhan opened the distance between himself and the old man and asked softly: "The arrangement of fate?"
Gu Wenjing said: "That's right, I feel abnormal in this village. There is a very powerful force covering the entire village. You have to be careful."
In fact, he sensed that what enveloped the village was not only filled with yin energy, but also a wisp of power of the law of destiny.
Contact the task prompts released by the Supernatural Book City, Book of Destiny? Gu Wenjing suspected that it was a wisp of the power of the law of destiny combined with the Yin Qi to form a strange ghost existence.
Ordinary ghosts are not enough for Gu Wenjing to swallow in one bite, but a ghost containing a wisp of the power of the law of fate may have some strange abilities that Gu Wenjing was caught off guard, so he spoke to remind Yang Zhan to be cautious.
He didn't want the undercover agent he had finally chosen to penetrate the Supernatural Book City to damage the village of fate.
<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
After being warned by Gu Wenjing, Yang Zhan became much more cautious and stopped looking around. Instead, he walked closely with Li Jian and the other two, paying attention to the surroundings with great vigilance.
However, because he was too nervous and acted too obvious, not only did Li Jian and the other two cast surprised eyes at him, but even the old man looked at him with strange eyes.
The old man brought four people to a very grand second-floor building.
This two-story building also looks like a blue brick house, not a small foreign house, but when you walk in, you will find that the ancient decoration is not inferior to the small foreign house at all. The regular floor of bluestone slabs is not worse than laying ceramic tiles at all.
The gate of the courtyard was not closed, and the old man walked in and shouted at the open main hall: "Class leader! The patriarch has outsiders coming to our village to spend some time!"
An old man carrying a porcelain jar came out. Compared with the weak old man, the old man was much more energetic and had a rosy face. Even his white hair and wrinkles were much less than that of the old man.
Before, Li Jian talked with the old man and learned that the head of every household in this village had the surname Chang. He was a ancestor hundreds of years ago, and now he is also a tribe member who is close to each other. The villagers are very united and xenophobic. The outsiders have to be excluded and moved away shortly after living there.
The Chang family is about the same age as Mr. Chang, but the two look like they are in their twenties.
After Chief Chang approached, Li Jian saw the wolfberry water soaked in the porcelain jar he was holding.
Well, no wonder she looks twenty years younger than the old man, and she turns out to be a person who pays attention to maintenance.
Clan Chief Chang looked at Li Jian and the other two with a smile, and asked, "Young man, little girl, you all come from the big city outside, aren't you?"
Li Jian, who is best at socializing with others, responded: "Yes, we are here for a trip. The bus broke down halfway. It will take a few days for the person who picks up us to arrive. We can only find a few days to stay in your village. Don't worry, our accommodation fee will definitely not be small."
Chief Chang said with a smile: "No need! You have few people and my house is big, so you can live in my house! You don't have to give money. Our village is far away from the big city and is self-sufficient and has no money."
Then the four of them lived in the house of Chief Chang.
The wife of the chief clan died early, and he was the only one in the family, he, a son, daughter-in-law and a young grandson, and four people in total, living in two floors, and two rooms were indeed vacant.
The daughter-in-law of the leader Chang cleaned up the two rooms on the second floor, changed into bedding, and let them live.
Four people, two women live in one room, and two men live in one room.
The houses in the countryside are built in large areas and the rooms are large. Not to mention sleeping in two beds, even five middle-aged men are more than enough.
At around 4 o'clock in the afternoon, Yang Zhan suddenly remembered the old man's reminder to him on the way to the head of the Chang family. He hurriedly said to Li Jian: "Today, the old man who led the way told me that living in this village must abide by some time points, such as from 5 o'clock to 6 o'clock in the afternoon, it is the time to cook supper..."
