Chapter 5: The Mysterious Old Man
He was followed by a strange old man, who was dressed in a gray cloth robe, wrapped his body tightly, and wore a hat, the brim of the hat was pressed very low, the shape was withered, the face was sharp, the eyes were deep, the nose was deep, the green tendons on the forehead were protruding, and there were two deep nasolabial folds on both sides of the nose.
There was a cold aura all around him, and his eyes looked even more eerie and terrifying.
At this time, not only Lin Fan, but everyone's eyes were fixed on the old man, and there was a strange and jealous look in his eyes.
Xu Mingkuan and the old man walked to the corpse, and after some inspection, the two exchanged glances, and Xu Mingkuan asked quietly, "Did Mao Zhuang do it?"
The old man nodded, but did not speak,
Xu Mingkuan turned his head to Ge Wang and said, "Buried it!"
"Village chief, my son died unjustly!" Ge Wan wept.
In the past, Ge Wang and Xu Mingkuan had a good relationship, the Ge family had a lot of labor, and during the busy farming season, his two sons helped Xu Mingkuan's family a lot, but now that something happened, he wanted to ask for some pensions.
Xu Mingkuan glared at him, and said coldly, "Last time, I said something in the village committee, and no one is allowed to go out after dark, otherwise, they will bear the consequences, they themselves are disobedient, who is to blame if something happens?"
Ge Wang flattened his mouth, helpless and unwilling, and said, "Village chief, why don't you find someone to help bury it, I'm old, I'm sick, I don't have the strength to do it, and I'm a coward...... kid."
As he spoke, he glanced at his youngest son. As soon as the eldest son and second son died, there was only such a lone seedling left in the family, and he didn't want him to miss the slightest.
Xu Mingkuan glanced at the two weirdly white corpses on the ground, subconsciously frowned and covered his nose, and swept his gaze, "Whoever will help bury these two corpses can come to me to receive five copper coins." ”
Five copper coins, you can buy three catties of white noodles.
The crowd who were talking suddenly fell silent.
No one is risking it for five copper coins.
Lin Fan didn't take the initiative to stand up, he was waiting.
"Ten copper coins. Xu Mingkuan gritted his teeth and looked like he was in pain.
Originally, he didn't want to spend a single copper coin, but he must be the village head, and if he wants to sit firmly in this position, he must win some people's hearts. Ge Wan is also a figure with a head, a face and prestige in the village, and he doesn't want to chill his heart too much.
"I'll come. Lin Fan stood up and said.
"Dumb, you, can you do it?" Xu Mingkuan looked at Lin Fan, surprised and disdainful.
"As long as the money is cashed out, it will work. Lin Fan said without a beak.
Burying people is not a good job, it is easy to be contaminated with bad luck, the key is the situation in front of you, it is a trivial matter to be contaminated with bad luck, and it will be troublesome to be contaminated with terrible things, Xu Mingkuan saw that no one was fighting with Lin Fan, so he knew that no one would be willing to do it except this nerd, so he had to take out ten copper coins and hand them to Lin Fan,
Lin Fan took it and stuffed it into his pocket, and then approached the two corpses, and as soon as he got closer, handwriting flashed in front of him,
+15 Corpse Gas
+9 Corpse Gas
Corpse +7
+3 Corpse Gas
Corpse +1
......
Seeing such data, Lin Fan was pleasantly surprised.
He thought that he would gain corpse qi, but he didn't expect it to increase so much.
Touching Xiao Ahua's corpse only allowed him to get 7 corpse qi points, and the corpses of the two sons of the Ge family actually allowed him to get 35 points.
The high is a bit bizarre!
didn't have time to think about this problem, Lin Fan used the shovel prepared by Ge Wang to dig a pit on the spot, and after his qi and blood increased, his physical strength was not what it used to be.
But he must have been fourteen years old, and digging a pit was heavy physical work, so it still made him a little tired, and after a while he was tired and out of breath.
As a last resort, he secretly opened the panel to increase his qi and blood,
As soon as the mind moved, a breath that was stronger than before immediately entered, and instantly traveled all over the body, but that breath was not dormant, but like a cluster of unruly wildfires, surging and rushing around, unable to be calmed, and finally rushed towards the front door, at this time Lin Fan felt a hot nose, and then two nosebleeds rushed straight out.
"Dumb has a nosebleed!"
"This nerd, who told him to be reckless?"
"He deserves it! He was greedy for money at a young age! He didn't want to die for money!"
"Could it be because of contact with that corpse...... It's too wicked!"
......
Lin Fan didn't care about those discussions at all, he wiped a handful of nosebleeds with his sleeve and continued to work,
Others think that he is tired or contaminated with unclean things, but only he knows that he has doubled his strength,
The nosebleed was obviously caused by too much qi and blood.
When I looked at the panel again, I was taken aback again.
Name: Fan Lin
Qi and blood: 32
Martial arts: None
Corpse gas: 0
Yin Qi: 0
Demonic energy: 0
......
First of all, Qi and Blood increased by 20 points.
35 points of corpse qi are converted into 20 points of qi and blood, which is a great increase in the conversion rate compared to the previous time.
From this, it can be concluded that the quality of the corpse qi he absorbed this time was obviously different from the last one.
What is the difference, there are too many factors, and he can't figure it out for a while.
Secondly, the "+" sign behind the qi and blood values disappeared, which means that he can't increase his qi and blood.
He thought, this is most likely because the qi and blood value has reached the upper limit.
This is evident in the nosebleeds.
As for whether it can be increased in the future, it is difficult to say.
......
"Hey, what's going on? The Lin family, this little dumb, not only didn't stop, but became more and more energetic......"
"Yes, it must have been something unclean, I was lost, I was crazy, everyone be careful, don't get too close to him......"
Everyone stared at Lin Fan and pointed and discussed. It's all horror and jealousy. But he didn't think he had increased his strength at all.
Only the strange old man beside Xu Mingkuan, his eyes were staring at Lin Fan, his gloomy eyes were shining, with a look of surprise, he pointed at Lin Fan, and asked Xu Mingkuan, "What's his big name?"
Hearing this voice, Lin Fan was stunned, stopped what he was doing, and turned his eyes to stare at the old man, his face full of surprise.
The old man's face was unfamiliar, but the old man's voice made him a little familiar.
His voice, and the voice that called his name in the middle of the night last night. It's very similar.
"My name is Lin Fan. Lin Fan stared at the old man tightly and said, to see how he behaved next,
When the old man heard the word Lin Fan, his hanging hands trembled violently, but on the surface, he was still calm and composed, squinting at Lin Fan and said, "Lin Fan, yes, young man, you are very good, I appreciate ......"
Lin Fan stared at him and asked, "Old man, what is your name, where are you from, and what are you doing in our village?"
Lin Fan asked three questions in a row, which made the old man change color slightly,
That Xu Mingkuan was also very surprised, glared at Lin Fan and said, "Little dumb, do your job, why do you ask so much?
As he spoke, he said to the old man, "Let's go." ”
The old man squinted and glanced at Lin Fan deeply, then turned around and walked with Xu Mingkuan.
Lin Fan stared at the back of the old man leaving while struggling to dig a pit, and a turbulent wave was set off in his heart.
The old man's voice, and the one that called him in the middle of the night last night, was clearly a person.
Also, why did this old man's hands tremble after hearing his Lin Fan's name?
Could it be that last night, the person who called him was this old man?
This old man, is he a human or a ghost?
At this time, Lin Fan saw that under the sun, the old man had a shadow, and in broad daylight, the ghost did not dare to show up, indicating that the old man was not a ghost.
The more I thought about it, the more confused I became.
But one thing is for sure, this old man is extraordinary!
He came to Sanmiao Village, the gods were mysterious, and there must be something.
Moreover, judging from Xu Mingkuan's reluctance to reveal his name, they must have done nothing good!
