Chapter Seventy-Six: The Nervous Man in Black
Her brows furrowed as she looked at the sun that was about to come out in the east, and said thoughtfully: "It's better to wait for the sun to come out before knocking ......."
When the sun comes out, it seems to kill all evil things. But the worry in her eyes didn't dissipate.
As the sun rises in the east, the ringing of bells echoes over the town once again.
The people climbed out of the cellars and hid in their homes. The streets are still quiet, and no one dares to go out on the streets at this time.
Mrs. Chu returned to the house and saw that Chu Lantian had already walked out of the dark room.
"Why did you get out? Didn't I tell you to stay in there for two days?"
This happens once or twice a year in the town. Chu Lantian knew that he would be fine soon.
"Mother, don't worry, it's going to be fine, it happened twice last year, weren't we all good? Maybe there was a problem with this enchantment when it was set up at that time, and it will automatically sound after a while, I think it's necessary to find a feng shui master to take a look." ”
"Well, what do you know about a little kid. Hurry up and stay in the dark room, you are not allowed to come out without my permission! ”
Originally, Chu Lantian wanted to go out, but he happened to be hit by his mother. Trying to fool the past failed, he had to return to this dark room in disgrace.
He didn't like the bell, and every time the bell rang, he would be locked up in this dark room by his mother for two or three days.
Every year, he really didn't know if this barrier really worked.
At this time, when they heard the bell to lift the warning, they all crawled out of the cellar.
Shu Wei looked at her clothes full of dirt and said helplessly: "Sister Liu, when did you dig this cellar? ”
Sister Liu said with some embarrassment: "Every household in our town has such a cellar. Large families will also dig tunnels and secret rooms. Our family is a little poorer and more simply. ”
Shu Shu's brows furrowed and asked, "Why does every house have a cellar? Could it be that something terrible will happen?"
Sister Liu shook her head and said: "I don't know about this, but it seems that every family has had it since I was born, and after the current mayor managed our town, she specially instructed us to build the cellars of our respective families to be more hidden......
Although Shu Shu didn't know why, she knew that since Mrs. Chu said it, it would definitely be useful, and maybe it would come in handy one day.
"Okay, everyone is okay now, I'm going to go to the teahouse and not eat at home. ”
Sister Liu grabbed Shu Shu and said, "No, you can't go out now." It's too dangerous. “
The people of this town know very well that as long as the warning bell rings, they basically do not go out for the first two days.
"It should be okay already, after all, this danger has been lifted, right?"
Sister Liu nodded and said: "Even so, as long as the bell rings here, we basically don't go out for two days, even if you go to the teahouse, no one will go to drink tea, and it is safer for you to stay at home honestly." ”
For two days, no one went out. They ate up all the food savings they had in their family.
On the third day, just after dawn, I heard that the street market outside was beginning to be lively.
Shu Shu held Sister Liu's arm, and the two of them walked forward with difficulty. It's a little scary how crowded the morning market is. After two days of consumption, many people's homes ran out of food, and on the third day, the people couldn't hold back.
Sister Liu looked at the crowd coming and going and said with a smile: "Now everyone is buying rice and noodles, so the current price is a little high, and the price will drop after today. ”
"Sister Liu, you are really amazing......"
Shu Shu stopped talking halfway through her words, because the moment she looked up, she saw several dark figures standing on the roof hill, looking down at the crowd coming and going, as if trying to find something.
These humans probably wouldn't even be able to see the men in black, and her heart was beating wildly. She was afraid that the men in black would see something, so she walked forward casually.
"Shu Zhu, we are now the aftermath of the catastrophe. So you can buy some more food today to celebrate......"
Shu Shu nodded without a word. His eyes couldn't help but look at the man in black standing on the roof.
Even if these people turned into ashes, she recognized that when they were in the spiritual realm, the father and mother they killed were seriously injured, not to mention, and now they are chasing here.
"Sister Liu, we're almost buying it now, anyway, there will be a morning market tomorrow, let's go back first, I'm a little tired......"
Seeing Shu Zhu's expression a little flustered, Sister Liu touched her shoulder and said with a smile: "What are you nervous about? It's okay, we have enough money, since you are tired, then we will go home first, and we will buy about the same things." ”
Her voice was not loud, but when the men in black heard this sensitive word, everyone looked at Shu Shu and Sister Liu. Shu Shu took a deep breath and hugged Sister Liu's shoulder, and said with an innocent face:
"How can I be nervous, but I didn't sleep well yesterday and I'm in a trance today, have I bought everything? Otherwise, I'll go back? Anyway, today's things are so expensive. ”
Sister Liu nodded and said, "That's it, it's a few pennies more expensive than usual." It's good for us to come back in the afternoon. Walk home. ”
The two men in black followed them in the direction of home. Thinking that Shu Wei and the others were still at home, she immediately stopped.
Shu Wei, Shu Yao, and Shu Xian still have a slight body odor, and those fox smells like these black-clothed people ask one by one. If they find out, the lives of their little foxes will be explained here.
Shu Xiao!
This is the person Shu thought of for the first time. She's lived in this town for hundreds of years, so she can still handle these things, right?
"Sister Liu, how about you go with me to Qingyi Teahouse? The clothes I wear for work are a little dirty and haven't been washed, and I should go to see them after I haven't been to work for two days."
Qingyi Teahouse is the place that Sister Liu yearns for the most, and the people who go there are either nobles or rich people. It would be nice to be able to go there and be extravagant, she agreed.
Qingyi Teahouse is very deserted, not like there are so many people on weekdays, and Shu Shu also knows very well that everyone can't care about eating now, and there are still people who come to drink tea.
There was only one shopkeeper on the first floor, who was standing at the counter, and he looked up and yawned with tiredness in his eyes.
"Junko, look at you sleepy, why didn't you sleep well last night?"
