Chapter 117 A Very Weird Village(1/2)
Chapter 117 A very strange village
The next day.
The old man got up early in the morning, made breakfast for them, and went to work in the vegetable fields. The old people in the countryside couldn't stay idle.
Yun Zhi and Yan Chen, who were used to getting up early, went downstairs almost at the same time.
They first went to the kitchen to get some food, and then went out together.
"I have reported the matter here and taken it over. We can handle it however we want. Someone will come to deal with the aftermath."
"I know." Yun Zhi said.
Yesterday, Yan Chen sent a message and when Bai Ran came up to ask, she heard it.
Yan Chen asked her: "What are your plans?"
Does this mean that everything is at her disposal?
Seeing the meaning in her eyes, Yan Chen said with a smile: "Well, it's all up to you. There are people you know here, and I think you might want to handle it personally."
"It doesn't matter." Yun Zhi said, "As long as the matter can be handled, it doesn't make any difference whether I handle it or you handle it."
Hearing her words, Yan Chen felt very happy.
"No lives have been lost, so there's no rush. We're mainly here to have fun this time. Let's deal with it while we're having fun."
Yun Zhi nodded: "Yeah."
"Where are we going now?" Yan Chen asked her.
"Let's walk around. This village is quite big."
The village is big and there are many people in the village.
Old people, children, young people...
People here get up early and people can be seen everywhere on the road.
Yes, in this era when almost all rural areas are old people and children, and young people go out to make money, there are still many young people in this village.
But the people in this village are not too busy, and they don't seem to have any intention of gossiping.
When two conspicuous strangers like Yan Chen and Yun Zhi walked on the road, not many people looked at them, and no one took the initiative to say hello to them and ask about their origins.
After walking along the cement road in the village for a while, Yan Chen asked Yun Zhi: "Did you see anything?"
I'm sure I can see it, but I'm still not sure why this realm came into being. How much obsession does it have to have the entire village enveloped in it?
"Aren't we going to Sister Lin Yu's house for lunch at noon? Let's talk about it after we eat."
Yan Chen has no objection.
"Do you have a good relationship with your neighbor's sister?"
"Just acquaintance."
Just knowing each other means having a normal relationship.
How could someone with a normal relationship ask about Yun Zhi as soon as they learned that Chu Ningxiu was coming home? She wasn't even sure whether Chu Ningxiu knew Yun Zhi.
"She is your neighbor, will she know that you..."
Yun Zhi shook her head decisively: "No."
"In the eyes of the people in the village, my grandma and I are just ordinary people like them. At most, we are an old man and a young man who are helpless. The people in the village feel sorry for us and take good care of us."
If they are really ordinary people, they are indeed lonely and helpless and pity... No, they are not ordinary people, they are also lonely and helpless.
People with superpowers are also human beings, they also have emotions and desires, and they can also feel lonely and sad.
"The day after tomorrow is Chu Ningxiu's birthday. Once her birthday is over, we will go directly to your house instead of going back to Ningcheng with the others." Yan Chen said.
This was Yun Zhi's original plan.
"good."
"Is it convenient to take a car here? Do you need me to arrange for a car to come here?"
"No need." Yun Zhi said, "There is a bus passing by on the main road over there every morning and evening. You can go directly to the entrance of our village. We can just take the bus back."
The two walked for more than an hour, almost visiting the entire village.
On the way back, I saw some children playing on the roadside.
It was clear that they were innocent children, and they were playing lively games, but not a single child had a smile on their face.
This picture looks somewhat strange.
Anyway, when Zhao Langlang and Xu Jiang, who were walking towards them, saw this scene, they froze and cold sweat broke out on their backs.
After they got up, they saw no one else, so they came out alone.
Along the way, I saw more than one weird scene like this.
On the road, I saw a mother scolding her rebellious son. She had no expression on her face when she scolded her son. She even scolded her son with no emotion in her tone. It was very stiff. The son who was scolded ran away, probably because he was afraid of being beaten.
But his running posture was particularly stiff.
Next, there is an old man driving cattle uphill.
They stepped forward to ask the old man if they had seen their companions. It took the old man a long time to turn his face to look at them. The old man was very healthy, but they always felt something was strange. Anyway, when the old man turned his face to them, they were frightened.
What a big jump.
Afterwards, the old man answered them, speaking every word, and when he raised his hand to point them in the direction, his movements were not like normal people, which frightened them into thanking him and running away.
When I came back, I saw a few children playing games.
As they approached, the children were not affected at all and were immersed in their own games, but their expressions did not look like they were immersed in the game.
The two of them were shocked.
I didn't dare to make a sound even if I wanted to scream.
Until I saw Yun Zhi and Yan Chen.
They literally saw a savior.
"Yan Chen! Yun Zhi!" he shouted and ran towards them, almost crying with excitement.
They shouted so loudly, but the children were not affected in any way and were still immersed in the game.
When they reached the two of them, their legs were weak.
"Yan, Yan Chen, this, this village is so strange, it scared us to death all the way here!"
As soon as Xu Jiang finished speaking, a little girl playing the game suddenly turned around and grinned at him: "What's weird? Brother, do you think we are weird?"
Xu Jiang was so frightened that he almost fainted with his eyes rolled.
Yan Chen grabbed his arm with one hand in time to bring him back to his senses.
Zhao Langlang was also very frightened.
"It's not surprising." Yun Zhi said, "You can continue playing."
The little girl smiled at Yun Zhi: "Okay, sister."
I started playing games again without being affected.
"Yun, Yun Zhi, you, aren't you scared? Xu Jiang and I were scared to death all the way here." Zhao Langlang didn't dare to speak loudly and moved to hide behind Yan Chen.
"The people here are just more familiar with life. There is nothing to be afraid of." Yun Zhi said.
"Yes, really?" Zhao Langlang and Xu Jiang said in unison with sad faces.
They felt that Yun Zhi was fooling fools.
"Yes, they are indeed more accommodating." Chu Ningxiu came over carrying a vegetable basket full of vegetables. She must have gone to the vegetable field to help her grandparents and pick vegetables along the way.
"Rather than saying that they recognize strangers, it is better to say that they are very defensive. In our village, both the elderly and children are very vigilant. Generally, when outsiders come into the village, they don't pay much attention to them."
"Why, why is this happening?" Xu Jiang thought, why were he and Zhao Langlang so surprised? They all looked calm?
Could it be that he and Zhao Langlang were actually the ones with the problem?
"I heard that a child in the village was almost abducted before, so everyone became wary, especially to outsiders. But it doesn't matter, it will be fine if we get to know each other for a few more days."
"Yes, really?" Xu Jiang and Zhao Langlang laughed uglier than crying.
Then Zhao Langlang hurriedly grabbed Xu Jiang and jumped three steps away, looking at Yun Zhi and the others warily: "Are you... humans or ghosts?"
Three people: "..."
Yan Chen smiled and said, "Do you think we are humans or ghosts? Why did we come out on our own? Didn't we call Bai Ran?"
Oh, this gentle but inexplicably oppressive smile is definitely the Yan Chen they are familiar with.
Bai Ran was mentioned again, so I guess he wasn't a ghost?
"No, I didn't see anyone. I don't know if I didn't get up or if I went out. I, we just came out on our own." Xu Jiang stared at Yan Chen tentatively and asked, "Are you really Yan Chen?"
Without waiting for Yan Chen to answer, Yun Zhi glanced at them and said, "Let's go back first." She asked Chu Ningxiu, "Didn't you say you would go to Sister Lin Yu's house for dinner at noon? Why are you still picking so many vegetables?"
