Chapter 389: Stay overnight

They just need to walk down the hillside to reach the village in front. But when they reached the foot of the mountain, they found that the village was not as simple as they thought, because there were only a few families in the village, and the only small road also emitted a white and miserable light, miserable and deserted, and very cold. There was no one on the street.

"Is this the Zhangzhai Village we are looking for?" Yin Hui asked.

"Yeah, it's here." Lao Jiu nodded, put away the cigarette pot, and carefully observed the village that looked a bit cold: "Hey, the village is a little bigger than last time."

"..." His emotion made everyone confused, and he didn't understand what his sentence meant when the village became bigger. Did this village be smaller in the past?

While they were talking, a creaking sound suddenly came from their ears, and then the door was opened. An old woman with wrinkles on her face made a slight cough, bent over and walked out of the room, looking very weak.

She accidentally saw the people standing next to her and asked curiously: "Where did you come from? Why did you come here?"

"We came from outside." Yin Hui hurriedly said, "I don't know if there are any guesthouses here."

"Do you want to stay overnight?" The old woman raised her old face and stared at them with a very clear look and asked, "Do you want to stay overnight?"

Seeing her excited expression, Yin Hui was a little scared, but he nodded obediently: "Yes, we want to stay overnight."

"Haha, okay, okay, I'll let us old man arrange a room for you now." The old woman said excitedly, and turned around, got into the small bamboo room, and shouted: "Old man, old man, hurry up... come over quickly. Some guests are coming, hurry up and entertain them."

"Ahem, old man, you...ahm...joke...you're kidding again. We haven't been here for years."

"Stop talking nonsense." The old woman's voice was obviously a little angry, but he still said seriously: "This time we are living people."

"Ah?" Then the room was silent, without any sound, as quiet as if it was a fake doomsday.

Yin Hui and others, who stood outside the house and heard their conversation clearly, looked at each other, and were a little scared by their conversation. What does his words mean, "This time we are living people"? Has anyone ever been here before?

He couldn't figure it out, so he looked at Lao Jiu. Lao Jiu looked at the thatched house with a calm expression, paying attention to anything that happened inside.

"Ah, you are here." A sound of drying out after all vicissitudes suddenly sounded at the door, and a thin body seemed to be like a standing telephone pole, which appeared in their sight. His thin body was very terrifying and terrifying, as if it was a dried corpse.

If it weren't for the ups and downs of his chest, Yin Hui would even classify this person as a walking zombie.

"This is a human." Yin Hui hurriedly warned the ghost and the skeleton who were about to take action. They just regarded the old guy as a zombie.

"Old man, I'm disturbing." He said apologetically.

"Haha, what's the matter of disturbing or not?" The old man was full of energy and his face was extremely radiant. He seemed to be a cheetah who had been hungry for a few days and suddenly saw a radiant like an elk: "Please come in quickly, please come in quickly."

Yin Hui was suddenly frightened by the metaphor he thought of just now. How could he imagine it like that? What does cheetah mean when he sees prey? He is not a cheetah. Have you seen such a thin cheetah? They are not elks, have you seen elks flying into the cheetah's rice pot on their own initiative?

Lao Jiu followed without any hesitation, regardless of the few people behind him.

Yin Hui and the remaining people looked at each other and followed. They had already prepared a level one alert. As long as there was any danger, they would shoot the two old guys who were waning and crippled without hesitation.

The room was pitch black, and only when the sunlight from the thatched house on the roof fell into the room, their eyes could see something slightly. The room was very wet, and you could feel it from the dark and dampness that kept invading the body.

A strong and moldy smell came into their nostrils, making Yin Hui cough several times. But the more he coughed, the more moldy the moisture he inhaled, he had to hold back, and even shed tears.

"Haha, please sit here." The old man led them to a table next to him, and shouted: "Old woman, make tea for the guests."

Yin Hui felt that they had made a fatal mistake just now, that they shouldn't have come in just now.

But they still came in. This made me feel a little unwilling to escape, but if I escape, would it arouse their hostility?

He thought dumbly, glanced at a log chair next to him, but suddenly found two things on the chair flashing with the faint light of candles, very bright, just like... it was like two eyes.

And that strong moldy smell came from this moldy round thing.

Head! This is head! Yin Hui immediately remembered this term in his mind.

"Haha, this is a pig slaughtered in our village a few days ago. We got a pig's head and it became moldy in a few days. I'll throw him out now." After the old man finished speaking, before Yin Hui could see clearly, he rushed up and grabbed the black thing and threw it out.

Then a few traces of light shining in, Yin Hui suddenly realized that the round thing seemed to be a pig's head, but instead seemed to be a human head with hair scratched.

"Old man, that pig's head is still edible. Why don't you put it away? I'll give it a sauce tonight."

"Silly old woman, how can you eat this pig's head when it's broken? Why are you so stingy?" The old man walked out of the room cursingly, then raised his hand, threw the thing in his hand into the distance, making a dull sound, as if the thing exploded.

Lao Jiu still sat on the chair with a calm expression and smoked, making a sound, as if he had seen nothing.

"Old Jiu." Yin Hui suddenly asked, "Does there be wild boars here? Why didn't we even see a shadow of a wild animal when we came."

After he asked this, Lao Jiu took the cigarette pot off his mouth, opened his mouth, but said nothing, and continued to smoke.

"Old Jiu?" Yin Hui thought he hadn't heard it, so he shouted again: "Do you know where they got the pork head meat?"

"This pig is raised in our village." At this moment, the old man had already walked in from the door, with a smile on his face: "The village chief of our village brought more than a dozen piglets from outside, and we all exchanged things together. When we grow up, we will naturally share them with us."

"Oh." Yin Hui pretended to be enlightened and replied: "How many families are there in your village?"

"There must be more than a dozen households." The old man calculated and finally replied.

"Haha, it's good for you old couple to get a pig's head. The rest of them will get a little meat." Yin Hui talked to them, and he felt that they had too many flaws.

"Haha, no more, no more." The old man shook his head: "At the beginning, we had a lot of things, so we had more meat."

"Oh!" Yin Hui nodded repeatedly: "I wonder if the old man can take us around the village? We think the scenery here is good and want to take a look around."

"This... I think it's a little dark, so why not go tomorrow." The old man said with a smile, and then walked to the door and was about to close the door.

"Yes, yes, it's so late today, let's go out tomorrow. Look, I've made the bed for you. You'll sleep in the bed today. Let's go to the neighbor's house to spend a night." The old woman hurriedly stepped forward and persuaded them.

"Then... it's better to obey your duty than respect." Lao Jiu finally spoke, stood up, stretched out and said, "I just happened to feel a little tired, so I'll go shopping tomorrow. Yin Hui, let's take a break." Lao Jiu walked to Yin Hui and greeted him. From his eyes, he could tell that Lao Jiu was prepared and could deal with them.

Although he also had doubts about Lao Jiu, his performance just now was really abnormal. However, compared with these two old guys, he still believed Lao Jiu.

Ghost Shadow and Skeleton Single-Sword Feng saw Yin Hui also followed, and the three of them followed.

It was a large bunk bed, which was enough to sleep with the five of them. Although the bedding roll was a bit dirty, Lao Jiu did not dislike it. It was many times better than his dilapidated temple.

He took off his shoes and climbed up, then sat cross-legged, smoking clatter.

Yin Hui took a look, climbed up, lay down, hugged his head, and slowly closed his eyes.

The other three people also fell asleep like this. However, they did not really sleep, but wanted to cheat the old couple away and discuss what was going on.

"Haha, hehe, you all rest, we're leaving now." The old man's face was filled with embarrassing smiles, then he helped his wife and limped out of the room.

When the slight footsteps slowly left and they could not hear any movement, Dan Daofeng jumped out of the bed with a carp and cursed: "This bed is so dirty."

Yin Hui also opened her eyes, looked at the empty room, smiled slightly, looked at Lao Jiu and asked, "Lao Jiu, what do you mean?"

"What do you say?"

"Don't you feel that the old couple is strange? Why do I always feel like I'm being treated as prey?" Yin Hui looked at Lao Jiu with a quizzical look without a smile.

"Why don't I feel this way?" Lao Jiu frowned and looked at Yin Hui: "Do you think they are so old, what kind of bad things can do to the five young and strong guys?"

"Bah!" Shan Daofeng cursed, and he was angry that Lao Jiu classified himself as a young man.

"Oh, ahem, this... I almost forgot." He shook his head apologetically: "I was joking with you just now. I just forgot..." Lao Jiu actually showed a rare look of embarrassment, and that embarrassment also had the shyness of a man when he was teased.

"But I always think it's better for us to be careful. I think that old guy is not as simple as we thought." He said this.

"Well, of course, don't worry, I will definitely give you an answer tonight." Lao Jiu smiled at them with a calm expression, then put away the cigarette pot, and fell asleep.

"Pig Head!" Shan Daofeng cursed angrily.

"You guys go to bed, I'll stare at this place." Yin Hui said.

"Sleep." Ghost shadow glared at him: "We need someone who is proficient in ghost hunting skills. We cannot lose to the ghost because you are not energetic."

The skeleton didn't fight with them because he stared at them all night last night and was indeed a little tired now.

"Okay." Yin Hui did not carry forward the fine tradition of Chinese people who like to rush to pay their bills. She smiled at them, and then fell asleep.

Dan Daofeng also lay down. Although the kang was a bit dirty, he did not dislike it. The day after wading through mountains and rivers also made him exhausted.

The skeleton got out of the bed, then moved a recliner to the edge of the bed, sat on it, his ears moved from time to time, and listened to the movements outside.

"Give it to you." Lao Jiu handed the smoke pot in his hand to the skeleton and said, "It can be eye-catching."

"Yeah, thank you." The skeleton took the gun, then pinched some pieces of powder from the bag of tobacco hanging on the cigarette pot, lit it, and took a sip.

"Well, good cigarettes, good cigarettes." As soon as he took a sip, the skeleton said with praise: "Where did you get it from? Such good cigarettes are more powerful than his mother's special panda."

"This is the tobacco leaves I found from the grave. After taking it out and drying it into tobacco leaves, I felt that the taste was very good. The most important thing is that it can exorcise demons and evil spirits." Lao Jiu explained enthusiastically, very happy that someone appreciated his tobacco leaves.

"Well, I have to make some when I go back." The skeleton took another sip, looking at Lao Jiu with a smile on his face.

"It's gone." Lao Jiu's expression suddenly became nervous, as if he was afraid that he would really take it away.

"Then give me half of these." The skeleton weighed the tobacco leaves in the cloth bag, and it was only a few taels.

"No, no." Lao Jiu stretched out his hand and was about to snatch it over: "I will give you some more when it's fall this year." Lao Jiu explained nervously: "I planted this tobacco leaf in my grave. I will be able to harvest it this autumn, and I will give it to you when it's time."

"So stingy." The skeleton cursed: "Don't worry, since you don't agree to give it to me, I won't take it by chance."

Seeing that he didn't seem to be joking, Lao Jiu nodded and fell asleep. He was upset in his heart how could he be so mean? Why did he have to let him smoke his own cigarette?

It was the third day, and the moonlight covered the world, as if a large piece of gold was poured out. The scene looked very spectacular and magnificent.

Low small thatched huts were quietly lying on the ground, like frightened wild cats, not daring to move. Located in the thatched hut that was leaning against the edge, two bright eyes stared at the surroundings cautiously, as if there was danger surrounding them.

He was a skeleton. The moonlight shone through the gap at the top of the thatched roof, covering his body. His thin body looked like a skeleton. He smoked a cigarette gun in big mouthfuls, and then sprayed out a large mouthful of thick smoke comfortably, refreshing, making him feel very lucky.

Rust, rustling.

Suddenly, a slight rustling sound outside caught his attention, and he immediately stopped any physical activities, including breathing and heartbeat, and listened carefully.

Rush, Rush, the sound stopped after lasting for a few seconds. He stared at the leaves slowly falling from the tree, and then he felt relieved. It turned out that the few sounds just now were the slight sounds of leaves falling on the ground.

Swishy, ​​wishy! Suddenly, a heavier sound penetrated into his ears, and the sound seemed as if something was walking behind the wall. He didn't even bother to think about it, quickly grabbed the gun in his hand and was about to rush out. Ghost shadow and single sword phoenix had already been awakened by the heavy sound, but they did not move, just half-closed their eyes, waiting for the possible danger.

The moment someone attacks them, they will react as fast as possible. The ghost will first drag Yin Hui to the bottom of the kang, while the single sword phoenix will cover the ghost. They need Yin Hui, because only Yin Hui can deal with the threats they cannot see.

As for Lao Jiu... they are not sure whether Lao Jiu is reliable or not. Instead of hesitating between the two attitudes, it is better to die in this accident, so that they don’t have to have too much expectations for him and hesitate.

They hate this feeling.

"Meow, Meow." A cat's cry broke the silence, and they finally relaxed. It turned out that it was just a cat.

Until dawn, the skeleton did not hear any abnormality anymore. He stretched and woke Yin Hui and others: "Wake up quickly, wake up quickly, the sun is shining on his butt."

"Tsk." Lao Jiu was the first to jump from the kang, and then ran to the skeleton without thinking about it, snatching the bluff from his hand.

But when he saw that the bag containing the tobacco leaves was empty and there was nothing, his whole body spasm, his eyes widened suspiciously, as if he couldn't believe everything in front of him: "You... have you actually cleaned all the tobacco leaves?"
