Liu Mu's words completely blocked Gu Qi's words, and she didn't bother to say anything more. After that, Liu Dashao was indispensable for verbal ridicule, but the flower of Kaolin was completely unstubble, and in the end he could only be silent.

Fortunately, after the salon proprietress showed the way, this dilapidated path seemed much easier to walk. Although the surrounding environment is still as desolate as ever, and the light projected by the dim street lamps is very long, which will inexplicably give people the illusion that this is walking in an uninhabited ghost town, but at least Gu Qi and Liu Mu don't have to go around in circles as aimlessly as they did at the beginning.

This saved two people a lot of time, but in just twenty minutes of walking, they quickly saw their destination.

The proprietress made it very clear, and it was indeed conspicuous here. Among the low-rise bungalows, the one that is relatively luxurious is the house with a small courtyard and a three-story office, which is the home of Liu Nansheng, the village chief of Liuzhen.

Unlike those courtyards that close the door early and turn off the lights, the night lights in Liu Nansheng's house are on, different from the incandescent lights in the homes of ordinary residents in the city, which is an extremely dim yellow, and the shadows of the trees on the transparent glass windows look a little scary, and I don't know if this arrangement is to show an alternative mood or have a special meaning.

Liu Mu stopped at the door, did not rush to open the door, but gave Gu Qi a look.

"Don't say more for a while, don't ask more, I know you'll have questions, but now is not the time to explain, wait until we are settled down, and we can talk to you at night......"

In the first half of the conversation, Liu Dashao spoke very seriously, and his voice was slightly lowered, staying at the level that only he and Gu Qi could hear.

Probably because of the special environment, Gu Qi even felt that Liu Mu had a hint of imperceptible caution in his words at the moment. Therefore, Gu Qi also showed more seriousness, she stopped her gaze on the side face of the man next to her, carefully looked at his flamboyant eyebrows, smiling eyes, and chewed those deeper things......

For example, Liu Mu's plan may be rare and serious.

Who knows, just when Gu Qi was about to nod his head, Liu Dashao's words suddenly changed, and all the words he said were swallowed in a low laugh, and he instantly became improper.

"So, remember, girlfriend?"

Gu Period: "........"

This sentence directly choked Gu Qi half to death, and his nodding stopped abruptly.

The sentence "Who is your girlfriend" almost came to her lips, but before she could scold, Liu Mu seemed to have completely expected Gu Qi's reaction, and immediately raised her hand to clasp the door, and handed her a ridiculous look.

So Gu Qi hesitated for a few seconds in "swallowing this breath for the overall situation" and "teaching a lesson to the person who kicked the nose and face", and finally suppressed the impulse of the moment, and decisively chose to stop the drums. As for the few emotions that can't be digested by reason can only be expressed silently, she brought the attributes of the kaolin flower to the extreme, directly killed people with her eyes, turned her head sideways and glared at Liu Dashao fiercely.

If there is really a saying that silence is better than sound at this time, then Liu Mu can be regarded as being late in public.

"Who......"

The silent confrontation ended when Liu Mu slammed the door to the third blow.

There was an answer from someone in the room, and then there was a rustling sound, and if you listened closely, you could tell the sound of someone slowly getting up and kicking a pair of slippers to open the door.

And as the sound got closer, the closed iron door was pushed open a small gap.

"It's so late, what's the matter, what can't be said tomorrow, it's said that there is a special period, a special period, don't go out after eight o'clock if there is no big event, what's the matter, why can't you remember it......"

Liu Nansheng's voice has the unique roughness of a middle-aged man in the Northeast, and his appearance can be vaguely seen through the dim yellow light in the room. He looks like he is about fifty years old, with a flat head and a Chinese face, and a pair of reading glasses prepared in advance before he is old on the bridge of his nose, so that there are some more conflicting factors in his image as a man in the Northeast.

And when he saw who was coming, Liu Nansheng's tone changed suddenly.

"Who are you two, where are you from, and how did you come to Liuzhen?"

Liu Mu still maintained the action of taking Gu Qi's shoulders in vain, and the relationship between the two was self-evident in the intimate actions, so he didn't bother to explain the personal relationship, and pointed out the center directly.

"We came to Changbai Mountain for a tour, and who knew that we got lost in the circle, so we drove here. I heard that outsiders are not allowed to stay overnight, and there is not even a hotel to be found, so didn't I come here to register with you?"

The village chief is an understanding person, and he is not interested in the beautiful man's plan at all, and he is obviously not as easy to fool as the proprietress of the hair salon.

He glanced at Liu Mu, and the suspicion in his eyes was undisguised: "Tourism? Don't go to those old attractions, come to Liuzhen, young man, who are you fooling?"

"It's not ......" Liu Mu laughed unhurriedly, "It's a coincidence." ”

"Hey, okay, don't lie to me about this kind of thing, you young people can still come to a small village like ours to visit?"

Liu Nansheng vaguely heard that Liu Mu seemed to have something to say, but for these verbal foreshadowings, he didn't want to guess or feel curious, he only wanted to end the topic, and he didn't mean to continue talking nonsense with Liu Mu at all.

"I'm a bright person, don't ink with me, I'll just tell you directly. I don't care why you came, and I don't want to know if it's a coincidence or intentional, although the boundary of our willow town is small, but there are many rules, and if you don't leave outsiders, you don't stay, especially at this special time. Where do you two like to go, where do you like to live, don't think about staying in Liuzhen. If you have the kung fu to talk nonsense with me, you might as well hurry out of the town and find a place to live. ”

After saying this, Liu Nansheng didn't care about Liu Mu's reaction, and directly prepared to close the door.

Seeing that Liu Dashao was about to talk about the situation of being swept away, Gu Qi couldn't help frowning slightly. Although I just said that no matter what situation I encounter, don't ask more questions or refute it, but this definitely does not include the situation that Liu Mu has been embarrassed to the point that the chat can't go on at all.

Gu Qi cleared his throat and was about to speak, but Liu Mu lazily blocked Liu Nansheng's half-closed door with his arm.

"Okay, Uncle Liu, you are an understanding person, and I won't play dumb riddles with you. ”

Liu Mu's beautiful peach blossom eyes were slightly bent, and he smiled with a starry smile, although he did not speak through directly, but his words were full of determination, and he slowly and methodically led out the purpose of his trip.

"I did come to Liuzhen on purpose, but don't worry, I don't have any malicious intentions, let alone disturb your sacrifice. It's just that as a semi-informed person, I want to exchange my experience with you, who are also an insider, and find a way out of the predicament. ”

"What's in the know....... Also, what do you mean by sacrifice?"

Liu Nansheng was still stiff-mouthed, but his gaze through his reading glasses was obviously hesitant. The young man in front of him said lightly, and he didn't know if he was simply a white wolf with empty gloves, or if he deliberately hid his words very deeply, so as to find more opportunities and seize the initiative of words.

But no matter which way it is possible, Liu Mu's sentence of "sacrifice" is enough to shock Liu Nansheng.

If it is said that at such a juncture, it is already very disturbing for Liu Zhen to suddenly come to an uninvited guest, then when he found out that these two "uninvited guests" are not only people in the know, but also have an unknown purpose, as the head of a town, he has to preside over the overall situation, and Liu Nansheng, who is sincerely afraid every day, hesitates a little.

"Have you heard of the wall, Uncle Liu, you have said that this is a special period, so you are not afraid that there will be something to say in public, causing unnecessary misunderstandings...... Otherwise, let's take a step to talk?"

Hearing Liu Mu's words, Liu Nansheng was silent for a moment, and finally opened the door.

He turned around and walked towards the inner room, and Liu Mu and Gu Qi also came in.

This is a very simple room, the white walls have the dirt left by the old age, and the living room is probably often used to receive guests, so Liu Nansheng has carefully pasted the wallpaper with dark patterns. But it's just a matter of care, after all, this is not elegant, the material of the wallpaper is very cheap, and the edges of the paper are rolled up under the penetration of moisture, and no one cares.

There is hardly any decent furniture in the living room, there are wooden cabinets next to the wall in the corners, rattan wooden chairs and simple fabric sofas in the center of the small room, and a wooden table of the same color as the cabinets. The TV is also a very quaint style with an antenna, and it looks like an old antique that has been used for at least twenty or thirty years.

Liu Mu is not surprised by this, just looking at the overall economic conditions of Liuzhen, you can see some clues.

"What do you two know, and what do you want to ask, just tell me. ”

"Actually, it's nothing, I just heard a ballad, which is said to come from your Liuzhen, and it just so happened that my girlfriend and I had some chance with these things, so we came to investigate. ”

"What kind of ballad?" The village chief knocked on the cigarette stick, grabbed a handful of tobacco and threw it in, and didn't ask if the other side could smell the smoke, so he took a puff to himself, "I don't know, there are still songs circulating in our place." ”

"Don't ask me, if I could figure out the door, I wouldn't have come all the way to it. Liu Mu chuckled and said unhurriedly, "It's a ballad, but in fact, I don't know how you sing this song here, my ability level is limited, so I can only come to a poetry recitation version, so bear more." ”

Liu Nansheng looked at the young man opposite and didn't think he could say anything constructive.

But the moment Liu Mu spoke, just a few words made Liu Nansheng's brows furrow tightly.

"The gods in the snow, the brightness after withering,

Broken faith, return in desperation,

The whispers of the sorcerer, the curse of the near stranger,

The division of illusion, illusory and real,

Light in the dust, the last eternal life. ”

.......

Liu Mu's voice was low and restrictive, every word was bitten accurately, the end of his words echoed in the room, and the beautiful peach blossom eyes were a little gentle and affectionate, revealing a compelling sharpness, examining Liu Nansheng without a trace.

As these words fell, the village chief's face changed significantly, and his already somewhat old face was reflected in the dim yellow light, and many emotions seemed obscure. Liu Nansheng's fingers holding the tobacco shredded a little, and his cloudy eyes through the lenses drooped slightly, as if he was trying to weigh something.

The silence lasted for a long time before he pursed his cigarette holder with his lips and whispered a few words.

"You ...... You're here to find the Twelve Concubines?"
