Chapter 77: Caught off guard
"What am I afraid of?" Mu Chen smiled, he wasn't even afraid of Wang Zhuang now, what else was there to be afraid of?
"You don't know?" the old man said to Mu Chen seriously, "Do you know why this mountain can't grow things?"
Seeing that the old man was talking about this matter, Mu Chen suddenly became interested, and he hurriedly asked the old man why he couldn't grow anything in this mountainous area.
"Because there is an ancient tomb in this mountain, it is still a big tomb, I heard that the whole mountain has been hollowed out, you said that there are dead people buried under here, can this mountain grow things?"
Seeing what the old man said, Mu Chen felt that maybe this was the case, otherwise this mountainous area would not have become a dead place that everyone had heard of.
"So that's the case," Mu Chen nodded thoughtfully, "Then may I ask grandpa what can be done to solve it?"
The old man grinned: "There is only one way to solve it, and that is not to plant things on it, otherwise these things will grow up eating the dead, and the taste will be problematic!"
Mu Chen couldn't help frowning, he had heard that there was a problem with this mountain before, and since it was called death, it was indeed related to "death", but Mu Chen didn't care about it before, but when he heard this old man say it today, Mu Chen couldn't help but beat a drum in his heart, if it was really like what the old man said, then wouldn't he be harmful?
"You dead old man, you're talking nonsense early in the morning, aren't you afraid of being struck by lightning?"
An old woman came over menacingly, grabbed the old man's ear, and she hurriedly smiled at Mu Chen: "Mu Chen, you must not believe what my crazy old man said just now, you hurry up and go, leave him alone!"
The old man seemed to be very afraid of the old woman, and stood aside with his shoulders bent at the moment without saying a word.
After Mu Chen said goodbye to the old woman, he almost forgot that he still had to go to Shen Xuemei, and hurriedly rushed to Weimin Primary School.
All the bulls, ghosts, snakes, and gods are deceitful, how could I believe this old man today! I also listened to him talk nonsense there for a long time, Mu Chen shook his head vigorously, we can't believe in feudal superstitions, it's still important to make a lot of money!
"Why are you here again?"
Before she could wait for Mu Chen to walk into Weimin Elementary School, she pushed him out.
Mu Chen felt a little embarrassed for a while, this was the first time he didn't look for Lan Xiaodie today, but how to tell her, if he directly said that he was looking for Shen Xuemei, Lan Xiaodie would definitely be angry.
Mu Chen thought for a while and said: "Early in the morning, I met a strange old man in the village, don't you say strange? Usually I just say hello to him and leave, but today I actually heard him talk about a lot of inexplicable things." ā
Fluttershy asked, "What is he talking about?" Is it saying that there are beasts in the woods of Weimin Elementary School?"
Mu Chen immediately understood when he heard it, it seemed that the old man was really talking nonsense, and anything could come out of his mouth.
He nodded and said, "Yes, that's what this old man said, so you say I'm bored, don't you have time to listen to his nonsense." ā
"Then you're not idle now?" Lan Xiaodie said as she pushed Mu Chen out again, "Don't run to me all day long, you have so many things on your body, can't you go and do your job?"
"Yes, yes, the leader has taught me a lesson, so I'll go back. ā
After Mu Chen finished speaking, he immediately turned around and left, and after taking two steps, he pretended to suddenly remember something and turned back.
"What are you going to do?" Fluttershy was speechless.
"Oh, I suddenly remembered something, there is something I have to trouble Sister Xuemei, I don't know if she is up?"
"Oh, you're looking for her," Fluttershy didn't feel anything wrong, "she's still in the room, she should be up." ā
As soon as he walked into the small room of the health center, Mu Chen saw Shen Xuemei who was still curled up on the floor, although he had long known that Shen Xuemei was working on the floor here with Lan Xiaodie, but when he saw this scene for the first time, he couldn't help but be a little shocked in his heart.
Mu Chen felt a trace of pity in his heart, and seeing that Shen Xuemei was still asleep, he hurriedly retreated and politely knocked on the door of the health center.
"Sister Xuemei, I have something to do with you. ā
"I said, why don't you come in yet!" Shen Xuemei suddenly sat up and looked at Mu Chen with a smile, "I knew you missed me, didn't you?"
Mu Chen was speechless when he heard this, it turned out that Shen Xuemei was not asleep at all, she had been eavesdropping on him talking to Lan Xiaodie just now, fortunately Mu Chen didn't say anything bad about her, otherwise it would have been miserable.
Shen Xuemei stood up, she was still wearing the almost transparent pajamas, Mu Chen wanted to see it but didn't dare to look at it.
Who knew that Shen Xuemei actually took the initiative to greet her, she grabbed Mu Chen's hand and said, "Didn't you hear me when I was talking to you?"
Where is this? Mu Chen immediately regretted his decision yesterday.
"IāI'm here to find you on business, you change your clothes first, I'll wait for you outside. ā
After Mu Chen finished speaking, he hurriedly retreated without waiting for Shen Xuemei to answer, if this scene was seen by Lan Xiaodie just now, he didn't know how to explain it.
After Mu Chen withdrew, he realized that Lan Xiaodie was no longer in Weimin Elementary School, and he thought that maybe he had gone to the villager's house to see a doctor.
"Mu Chen......" Shen Xuemei, who was changing clothes in the room, suddenly called out Mu Chen's name, "You come in and help me." ā
"What's the matter?" Mu Chen stood at the door and didn't go in, "What do you want me to do for you?"
"Don't you know when you come in?" Shen Xuemei's voice was unfazed, and it didn't sound like a hurry.
Mu Chen thought about it, this is going to let Shen Xuemei be the accountant for herself, since she is calling herself, then go in and help.
Walking into the back room, Mu Chen was stunned, Shen Xuemei was facing away from Mu Chen at the moment, she was wearing a red dress, which was eye-catching, and then looked closely, this red dress was only halfway worn, revealing Shen Hongmei's white shoulders.
"You come and help me, Drawing is stuck. ā
"Drawing is stuck......" Mu Chen muttered, "Won't you just pull it up yourself?"
"I'm pulling it up myself and calling you! What kind of nonsense are you talking about? Come here!"
"Uh...... All right. ā
Mu Chen walked up with small steps, although Shen Xuemei had her back to him, but his heart still began to surge, Shen Xuemei stood in front of him like this, and didn't feel anything wrong, this is the first time Mu Chen has seen a woman's upper body in reality when he is so old, although Shen Xuemei is wearing a Hun cover, but this still does not affect Mu Chen's thinking.
"What are you still doing in a daze? Hurry up and pull the string up!"
Mu Chen swallowed his saliva, and reached for the drawing on Shen Xuemei's back with a trembling hand, but just when he happened to touch the drawing behind Shen Hongmei, Shen Xuemei turned around all of a sudden, and then grabbed Mu Chen's hands at a very fast speed.
At the same time, Shen Xuemei's half-pulled jumpsuit group also slipped from her body and fell to the ground.
