Chapter 189 This world is full of malice!(1/2)
"Su Yan, I feel like there's something wrong with this village."
Seeing the women in front hurried away with nervous expressions on their faces, Sister Zhou whispered something.
Su Yan nodded in agreement and said, "One thing to say, it's true."
At this moment, the middle-aged man holding a hatchet said with an evil look on his face: "Hey, what are you two doing in the village?"
While he was speaking, he intentionally moved the hatchet in his hand, not sure whether he was afraid or threatening.
However, in Su Yan's eyes, there may be more threats.
Because he found that the middle-aged man had a fierce look in his eyes, and he didn't look like a woodcutter at all.
It feels more like a monster hunter holding a hatchet.
This can be seen to some extent from the scene where several women were frightened when they saw him.
Thinking.
Su Yan looked at the middle-aged man and took a peek at his biometric information panel.
【Name】: Chen Ergou
【Race】: Human race
[Level]: Ordinary
[Skills]: None yet
Chen Ergou?
This name is incredible.
Su Yan was surprised in his heart, feeling that the woodcutter's name was quite personal.
Thought.
This should be the culture of the village.
After all, many people of the older generation like to give their children local names such as Ergou, Goudan, etc.
It is said that a child with such a name will have a harder life and be less likely to die young.
After Su Yan's mind left the middle-aged man's name, his eyes fell on the levels below and below.
It's an ordinary level.
The middle-aged man who looked so stern like this was just the lowest level of ordinary creature and had no chance of becoming a monster hunter.
He should really be just a woodcutter.
But having said that, chopping wood can produce such a fierce look. Did this uncle have a grudge against trees in his previous life?
Su Yan complained in his heart.
And the other side.
Seeing that Su Yan not only ignored his questions, but even kept looking at him unabashedly, the middle-aged man couldn't help but feel a little angry.
He immediately moved the hatchet and said, "Are you two dumb? Didn't you hear what I asked you? What are you here for?"
This time it was really a naked threat.
Su Yan became more and more confused about the middle-aged man's extreme reaction, and then he smiled harmlessly and said:
"Uncle, don't get too excited. The two of us are official hunters here to investigate the incident of demons and monsters."
In order to calm down the middle-aged man in front of him, Su Yan deliberately added the word "official" in front of hunter, thinking that it would sound more reassuring.
Unexpectedly, when the man heard this, not only did his face not relax, but he even became more resistant.
However, it was just the emotion in his eyes that showed resistance, and the expression on his face was not too obvious.
then.
He looked dissatisfied and said, "It's you hunters again. You come to the village every now and then to investigate, but every time you get nothing, and you make the village a mess. That's pretty much it."
After seeing the middle-aged man's attitude, Su Yan became even more confused.
Logically speaking, when an ordinary person sees a monster hunter, he will not only bow his head humbly, but he will still feel a sense of awe.
But the middle-aged man in front of him showed no awe at all, and even felt very impatient.
Is this because he has not been severely beaten by society?
Thinking.
Su Yan bent down and picked up a stone on the ground, crushed it into pieces with a click, and then said with a kind face:
"Uncle, I am different from the previous hunters. I am the more professional one."
Seeing Su Yan crushing such a big stone easily and happily, the middle-aged man suddenly felt a little scared.
Especially when I saw the sly smile on Su Yan's face, I always felt that if my attitude was any worse, my IDE head would be shattered in the next moment.
Thinking in his heart, the middle-aged man said sincerely: "It turns out that he is a more professional hunter. That's great. You two should come to my house and sit down. I am the head of this village and can cooperate with you two.
"
Su Yan: "..."
Sister Zhou: "..."
Seeing the middle-aged man's attitude change so obviously, both of them felt ashamed.
really!
It is part of human nature to bully the weak and fear the strong.
But having said that, I really didn't expect that the middle-aged man in front of me was actually the village chief.
No wonder he is so arrogant in his words and deeds. He is probably a little bully in the village.
very quickly.
Under the guidance of the middle-aged man, the two came to a stop in front of a relatively tall mud house.
"You two, this is my home."
As he said that, the middle-aged man unloaded the wood he was carrying on his back and placed it at the door, then led Su Yan and the others inside.
Unlike the hot road outside, it feels very ventilated and cool inside the earthen house.
Even without fans and air conditioners, you can spend this hot summer well.
Under the reception of the middle-aged man, Su Yan and Sister Zhou casually found a wooden chair to sit down on, and then took stock of the environment in the room.
There was not much furniture in the whole house, only chairs, tables, and some shabby-looking household appliances.
At first glance, it doesn’t feel like a modern living environment, but a bit like a residential environment at the beginning of the last century.
Generally speaking, the living conditions seem a bit poor, or it can be said to be simple living.
"Zhang Ruoshan, a guest is here, come out and make tea for me!"
After seeing that the teapot on the table was empty, the middle-aged man shouted into a room ahead.
The tone of voice doesn't sound very friendly. He should be a man with strong chauvinism and likes to yell at his mother-in-law.
Not long after the middle-aged man finished speaking, a woman limped out of the house.
This is the lame woman Su Yan saw on the village road outside. Now, under the attention of the middle-aged man, she made tea for Su Yan and Sister Zhou with a submissive expression.
After making tea for a while.
With a humble look on her face, the woman poured a cup of tea for Su Yan and Sister Zhou and said, "Please have tea, both of you."
Su Yan smiled when he saw this and said, "Sister, there's no need to be so polite. I can just do it myself."
After seeing Su Yan's smile, the woman couldn't help but feel a little distracted.
She had never seen such a handsome man before, and for a moment she couldn't help but think back to her time as a young girl.
At this moment, a violent coughing sound suddenly came from the room in front.
"Cough...cough!"
The cough sounded very hard, and it felt like the person coughing might die at any time.
"Zhang Ruoshan! My son is coughing so much. What are you doing here? Why don't you go in and take care of your son!"
Seeing his wife standing aside blankly, the middle-aged man couldn't help scolding her, his tone sounded a bit harsh.
The woman came to her senses after hearing the sound, and then limped toward the room, looking very scared of her husband.
After the woman left.
Su Yan didn't waste any time and asked straight to the point: "Village chief, I heard that a spooky incident happened in your village, and young men died of sudden heart disease one after another. Is this true?
"
"Well, this is true."
The middle-aged man replied solemnly.
then.
He spoke again: "This matter started in September last year."
"At that time, the son of a family in the village got married and had a wedding banquet with everyone in the village."
"And just when the groom and the bride were toasting the guests together, the groom suddenly fell to the ground for some reason and died on his own wedding. The wedding turned into a funeral."
