"How can you!" Seeing that his eyes did not turn for a moment, Lin Xiaoice immediately begged for mercy.

"Alas, let's be honest, he's my cousin, my mother asked me to bring him, you don't know my mother's stinky temper, I don't dare to disobey her, I can only come over and ask the two eldest brothers for help. ”

He glanced at Bai Xiu - this was the wording they had discussed before, and Bai Xiu showed a little curiosity at the right time: "I brought my sister over for a long time, and I hope that the two eldest brothers will be accommodating." ”

He also handed over two red envelopes, and the two of them smiled for a while.

Third Brother Qiu patted his chest at this time and made a package ticket: "It turned out to be my own person, then it's okay, even if you look for me in the future, I Qiu Xia is one of the best in Nanyin Village...... Let's go, I'll take you to where you live first. ”

So saying, he and his second brother turned around and entered the village.

Lin Xiaoice breathed a sigh of relief in the back, lowered his voice and said to the others: "This three brothers of the Qiu family are the tyrants of Nanyin Village, with their escort, even if the village chief comes, we can't drive us away, we must not offend them." ”

Su Luo couldn't help but speak: "This small village, the situation is so complicated!"

"There are three factions in Nanyin Village that can't be messed with, the first is the Qiu family brothers, the second is the head of Nanyin Village, Qi Sigong, and the third is Mr. Zhang and Xue Laohan, who guard the ancestral hall. ”

Lin Xiaoice hurriedly told everyone about the situation in the village, "The soul conjuring magic we want to see is done by the latter two, Mr. Zhang Lao specializes in presiding over the magic affairs, and Old Han Xue handles other matters, and the two are very prestigious in the village." ”

As they spoke, they had already followed the Qiu brothers to the entrance of the village, and they hadn't seen the layout of the village clearly before they were far away, but now they looked at it, except for the three people who had already been here and Qu Lian, who didn't know about the world, everyone else was surprised.

Bai Xiu was secretly surprised in his heart, only to see that the terrain in the village was flat, and he could see the edge at a glance, a deep forest in the east, a cliff in the west that could hardly see the top of the cliff, and a lower mountain about two hundred meters high directly behind.

The top of the hill seemed to have been cut off, leaving an open space of about a few hundred square meters, and the clearing was densely packed with graves, under which only a path meandered down to the village.

Unlike other villages, there is no road around the pond in the middle of the village, but a row of tiled houses on the east and west, which are very low compared to the houses next to them, never more than two meters high.

Except for a small door on one side of the back pond that could barely be used for people to enter and exit, there were no doors or windows on the other three sides, only some holes the size of bowls, which were covered by a black veil and made it impossible to see what was inside, a bit like a shade room for drying raisins.

To the north and south of the pond stood two identical tall buildings, both of which had an open space in front of them, with tables and chairs, presumably once a threshing floor, but later abandoned for gatherings.

Don't guess, these are two ancestral halls.

It is not strange that there are ancestral halls in the village, but it is strange that there are two identical ancestral halls in this Nanyin village, and I don't know what they are used for.

"This village is only so big, why are there so many graves......" Su Luo couldn't help but touch the goosebumps on his arm, "Do you feel a little cold? I feel that the temperature has dropped by seven or eight degrees as soon as I enter the village, but fortunately I brought a coat." ”

This was not her delusion, Bai Xiu also felt that the temperature in the vicinity was strangely low, and she didn't know if it was a problem with the pond water.

Fortunately, after the Qiu brothers led them through the path in front of the row of low tiled houses in the west, it didn't take long for the stuffy feeling peculiar to early summer to flood again.

The two of them did not stop until they were about to leave the village.

Qiu Xia pointed to a wooden building in front of him: "People in the village don't like outsiders to live at home, so I can only grieve you to spend the night here, this small wooden building has no owner, it has been empty for several years, but don't worry, I have let people clean it." ”

He pushed open the door as he spoke, and the next second a strong musty smell came to his face, and everyone finally couldn't help but not cover their mouths and noses, and Qiu Xia was probably also poured into his nose by it, smiled, and went in to light the oil lamp in the hall.

They finally had a rough idea of what was going on inside, and to the left of the door was a wooden staircase leading to the second floor, and to the right was a small open-air courtyard with a pressurized well and a small pool of stone hammered out of stone.

Because of the lack of rest, the rows of flower pots that had been placed against the wall were overgrown with weeds, crawling like a giant gecko in the dim light.

But this is not the most striking thing, the courtyard wall is five meters high, separating the inside and outside, but also reflecting the narrower and narrower courtyard, as if it were an erected coffin.

After the staircase and the courtyard they reached the hall, and under the high window on their left hand side was a fire pit, beside which were pots and pans, and a clay pot and cupboard.

On the opposite side of the fire, there was a table around the wooden wall, which happened to be surrounded by eight benches, which were also cleanly tied.

There seemed to be a utility room behind the hall, and the door was hidden, because the light was dim, and they couldn't see what was in it for a while.

The room on the right, separated by a wooden wall and connected to the hall, is much more spacious and should be the master bedroom where the elders of the family live.

Qiu Xia opened the door of this room, revealing the furnishings inside, and said with a smile: "It's not bad, is it? It's much cleaner than most of us living on our own." ”

Bai Xiu took a look, and it was indeed cleaned decently:

Leaning against the innermost wall is a large bed, a cabinet in front of the bed, the space at the end of the bed is relatively large, a set of tables and chairs are arranged, and there is a desk behind the table and chairs, and I don't know what is placed on it, covered with a large black cloth.

Qiu Xia led them to the second floor, where the layout was simpler - a corridor above the stairs, two walls, two doors opened on one side against the road, and behind the doors were two identical rooms.

They even had the same stuff inside, a bed, two cabinets of height, and a chair, which seemed a little empty.

The window behind the room opened onto the path behind the village, the same one they had seen earlier, and when they looked under the window of the room on the left, they could see it slowly disappearing into the dense forest.

The crowd circled upstairs and went downstairs.

The Qiu brothers estimated that they were in a hurry to go home for dinner, and hurriedly spoke: "There is a cooked meal in the tank, which we specially bought from the outside post station, I am afraid that you will not be used to eating the things in the village, you can eat hot and rest early, and talk about it tomorrow." ”

They said a few more words and left without stopping, leaving a few people standing in the hall looking at each other.

Su Luo said in hindsight: "My mother, there is that cemetery above us, it's scary......"

"Shut up. Sun Xinhong glared at her, "If you don't speak, no one will treat you as a dumb person!"

"Hmph. Su Luo snorted coldly, didn't bother to quarrel with him, and looked at the food in the jar by herself, and after a while she smiled, "Not bad, not bad, really good...... Hey, there's a big watermelon!"

Feng Jing found a problem: "There doesn't seem to be a bathroom in this building......"

When she said this, everyone was stunned, and Lin Xiaoice scratched her head: "It is estimated that the village is full of dry toilets, but it should be not far outside." ”

Su Luo was anxious: "Let's hurry up and look for it, you boys are good, you can solve it wherever you go, what should we do?"

What she said was not rough, and Lin Xiaoice said helplessly: "I'll go out with you to have a look...... Sister Jingjing, you clean up the table, don't think about the rest, eat first. ”

As soon as the rest of the people put the food on the table, they came back, and Su Luo bared his teeth: "It's not far away, but the smell is really ......."

Seeing that the table was full of food, she couldn't bear to continue, and waved her hand at them: "You guys eat first, I have to ...... slowly"

She wandered around the room and suddenly asked, "How do we arrange it at night?" There are enough rooms, but there are only three beds, and someone always has to make a bunk......

Sun Xinhong immediately snorted coldly: "Let's say it first, someone occupied the room that belonged to us before, why can't we let it out this time, right?"

Bai Xiu apologized: "You go to the room to rest, let's just sleep here." ”

"No, it's ventilated on all sides, how can you let her sleep here when it's so small?" Su Luo fought with Qu Lian for him, "Otherwise, I'll lay on the floor with Jingjing, anyway, I like camping, and there is Gai'er here, it's much better than camping!"

She said this as a girl, and Lin Xiaoice, as a guide, had to say: "Then forget it, no matter how you can't let you and Sister Jingjing play the floor, or me and Zheng Zhi come." ”

Su Luo clapped his hands and smiled: "Just wait for your words, then I will wronged you!"

Lin Xiaoice and Zheng Zhi looked at each other, and they couldn't help but smile bitterly and shook their heads: "Okay, okay, let's eat." ”

A big problem was solved, and everyone gradually relaxed, and the atmosphere was better than ever before.

By the time they had finished their supper, it was completely dark, and the village was silent, as if most of the people in the village had fallen asleep.

After eating and drinking, Su Luo took out his mobile phone and swiped it a few times, and instantly made a bitter face: "I still want to play a few fights with the landlord, why don't I have any network ...... at all?"

"Here is deep in the hinterland of Nanshan, and there is such a village nearby, not to mention the Internet, and the mobile phone signal is very poor. Lin Xiaoice said and dialed her phone signally, and sure enough, the connection could not be reached.

Feng Jing also persuaded her: "The situation here is special, the village uses self-generated electricity, which is relatively lacking, only the ancestral hall has a place to charge, you just save a little, maybe you need to use a mobile phone in an emergency?"

"Okay, okay. Su Luo sighed and put away his mobile phone, and then took out two decks of poker from his backpack, "Fortunately, I was prepared! ”

Feng Jing nodded her forehead with a smile: "Are you here to travel, or are you here to work?"

Su Luo smiled: "Combine work and rest!"

She instructed Lin Xiaoice to clean up the table, and then sat down on the stool with a big grin, and said with a smile while pouring out the poker and shuffling the cards.

"Come on, come on, let's decide the winner, whoever wins will choose the room first. She rolled her eyebrows and smiled defiantly, "Sun Xinhong, if you lose, how about giving the room to Xiaoice and them?"

Sun Xinhong's temper exploded at one point, he immediately sat opposite her, and said angrily: "Come on, whoever is afraid of whom!"

The others were indeed a little bored, and each found a seat and sat down, waiting for her to deal the cards.

Bai Xiu asked Qu Lian to watch them play cards on the side, and he went to the pool with the dishes and chopsticks, and when he came back, they had already finished a game, and they really made Su Luo as he wished, and the lowest scores were Sun Xinhong and Tan Xiangrong.
