Chapter 168 Please close your eyes when it gets dark 2

 "Are there many tourists in the village?"

There are actually tourists in such a remote and remote place, which takes two or three hours by bus and is an hour's drive from the nearest town.

"It's not that many, sometimes there are three or four. But this time there are quite a few, about ten."

"It's good to travel." Bai Xi praised.

Daga was also very happy to hear the praise. From him, Bai Xi also got some news.

A few years ago, there was a college student in the village. After graduation, he made money outside. He wanted to repay his hometown, so he came back to help the village develop tourism.

These tourists in the village came here on their own initiative after seeing online advertisements.

The small bungalow that the tourists and Bai Xi lived in was built with money from the college student. I heard it cost hundreds of thousands.

"Tsk tsk tsk, you are so selfless!"

After seeing Daga off, Bai Xi sighed, turned around and opened the suitcase to see what was inside, but in addition to daily changes of clothes, there was also a stack of cash.

Bai Xi counted five thousand dollars.

There are two people in the bungalow in the village, He Ting and the girl with long black hair share one room, the other four boys share two rooms, and Professor Lin and Bai Xi are left.

However, Professor Lin and Bai Xi have different genders, and the professor has special treatment, so Bai Xi also ends up in a single room.

Another room not far away.

A young man was at the door, looked outside cautiously, then closed the door, got together with another person in the room, and whispered.

"Do you think this Bai Xi will be the Bai Xi on the potential list?"

"Not sure. If it's really that Bai Xi, we have to be careful. He has more than 3,000 people, and we are not even on the ability list."

"After five rounds of this God of Killing game, I was promoted to an intermediate player, and I don't know how many people I killed."

"No, we have to change the location. We are only three or four rooms away from her, it's too close."

Then, the two quietly carried their suitcases, went to the village chief, and spent a few hundred yuan to change to a room.

It’s around two o’clock in the afternoon.

"Boom, boom, boom!"

There was a knock on the door. Bai Xi stood up and opened the door. It was a young man from the village.

"Miss Bai, the peace banquet starts at three o'clock on time."

"So early?" Bai Xi was a little surprised.

Daga told her before that there was a banquet in the village to welcome them and tourists in the afternoon, but wasn't this usually held at night?

Light a bonfire, dance, sing, etc., show off the local characteristics and customs, and you're done.

"Our village holds banquets during the day and doesn't go out at night," the young man replied.

"Why?" Bai Xi asked.

The young man shook his head, "I don't know either, this is the custom of our village."

"Okay, thank you. I'll be there on time, please."

Bai Xi is very friendly. There are not many people in total for this kind of mission. Information can only be obtained from the villagers, and you have to build a good relationship.

Don’t go out at night. This is the closest message to a special reminder so far.

After the young man left, he put his suitcase and money into the space, and Bai Xi also went out.

The key to this round of the game is at night. It is impossible to determine whether it is a monster, a man-made danger, or a natural disaster. Let’s collect supplies first!

Coming out of the house, Bai Xi walked and stopped, looking here and there, as if she was visiting the village.

In fact, her goal is very clear, which is the canteen in the village, but she can't let anyone see it.

Originally, the village did not have a canteen, but in order to facilitate tourists, the village held a meeting to discuss and raise funds to open one.

The canteen is small, with only some common drinks, bread, melon seeds, and daily necessities.

From a distance, Bai Xi noticed a person standing at the entrance of the canteen. It was He Ting.

"He Ting, do you want to buy something too?" She stepped forward and greeted her familiarly.

"Well. Professor Lin took three or four classmates to look for rare plants nearby.

When I come back in the evening, I'll probably have to work overtime to record information. I'll buy some things to store first, otherwise I'll be hungry." He Ting looked at Bai Xi and explained.

"That's it, then I'll buy some too."

Bai Xi took the opportunity to buy a lot of things, such as bread, mineral water, instant noodles, etc.

"It's time to stock up on things. Tomorrow is the Ghost Festival, we won't go out, and the stores won't be open."

Seeing that the two of them bought a lot, the owner of the canteen burst into laughter and said a few more words.

"What ghost festival?"

Bai Xi's heart skipped a beat, there won't be any ghosts in this game, right?

People in the village don't go out at night, and the game reminds them to close their eyes when it gets dark, and now the canteen owner directly mentioned the Ghost Festival.

There is also a mirror hanging on the door.

No way, she encountered such a copy so soon?

"Boss, tell me quickly, tell me quickly."

He Ting urged, with an interested look on her face.

"The Ghost Festival is a custom in our village. Legend has it that on this day, the dead will come back to visit their families or seek revenge on their enemies.

On this day every year, no matter night or day, we will stay in the house and not go out until the sun rises the next day."

When talking about the Ghost Festival, the boss looked solemn and in awe.

"It feels so terrible."

He Ting patted her chest in fear.

"Boss, do you need to make any preparations for the Ghost Festival?" Bai Xi asked, there is definitely something wrong with this Ghost Festival.

"There is no need to prepare anything special, just stay in the house."

The boss thought for a while and said: "I think it's best to hang a mirror on the door, otherwise dirty things will get into the house."

"Boss, bring me a mirror."

Bai Xi decisively bought two mirrors. Regardless of whether there is a ghost in this round of the game, prepare first and then do as the Romans do.

He Ting also bought three or four, and she said she would hang mirrors on all the doors and windows.

After successfully selling a batch of mirrors, the boss was very happy and said some irrelevant words.

Carrying two large bags of things, Bai Xi returned to her house and put her things away. It was almost three o'clock and she was ready to go to the banquet venue.

The venue is at the other end of the village, and it takes about ten minutes to walk there.

Walking on the bluestone path, there are simple farmhouses on both sides. The breeze with a light fragrance gently blows on the cheeks, giving people a unique feeling.

Several children were running freely on the road, and their parents came out, pretending to be angry and telling them not to cause mischief.

The only unsightly thing is that many places in the village are under renovation, and strange patterns are painted on the walls and newly repaired parts, which look a bit eye-catching.

The villagers are very friendly. When they meet tourists, most of them will smile and nod, and some will take the initiative to say hello.

When Bai Xi arrived at the venue, the venue had already been decorated.

The entire venue is distributed in a circle, with a large circular platform in the middle. Everyone sits around the circular platform.

Under the guidance of the villagers, Bai Xi found the location of these tourists.

At this moment, no one had arrived, so Bai Xi chose a location where he could see Xin Xi and where he could chat with the villagers.

As soon as we sat down, a villager brought us a glass of the village’s specialty drink—purple wine.

“It smells so good!”
