Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.
The indifference of this old man before, without any emotional color, made him think that this was a wooden man, and he didn't expect that this old man would also have angry feelings, which shows that he is still a normal person.
However, Li Xiangnan tasted the instant noodles with a mixture of anger, and deliberately said these words to stimulate the old man to see how he reacted.
I didn't expect this old man to have such a big reaction.
Then this shows that there must be something strange in this village and town, and there must be a lot of ghosts entrenched in it, which will lead to such a big love for this old man.
The old man's voice was a little loud, as if it had attracted the attention of passers-by outside.
At this time, a short, tattered, bearded old man entered the store and said, "Old Mo, what's wrong with you, such a big fire, bring me cigarettes?" ”
As he spoke, the short old man looked at Li Xiangnan, and saw that the four buckets of instant noodles on the counter were cold and had not been moved, so he couldn't help swallowing his saliva, he hadn't eaten breakfast yet.
Li Xiangnan noticed that the expression of the short old man did not seem to be as indifferent and ruthless as others, almost numb as a corpse, and when his eyes rolled, he was still a little cunning, so he said: "I haven't touched these instant noodles, and I don't plan to eat them, if you dare to eat them, just do it!" ”
When the short old man heard this, he was not polite, so he immediately picked up a bowl and was about to eat it.
But Lao Mo, the old shop, suddenly came out to stop him: "Lao Yuan, that noodle can't be eaten!" ”
"Why can't you eat it, is it possible that even this instant noodle has been touched by the old ghost?" The short old man looked very puzzled.
Li Xiangnan quickly heard some clues from the short old man's casual words, but he didn't move.
I saw that Lao Mo came over, took all the instant noodles on the counter and poured them out, and then took out fifty yuan and returned it to Li Xiangnan, and said coldly: "Get out of here immediately, the farther you go, the better, outsiders are not welcome here!" ”
The more the old man drove people like this, the more unusual this down-and-out village and town became, what did Li Xiangnan do this time, naturally he came to capture a suitable ghost, how could he just leave.
However, he could see that this old Mo was a stubborn person, and if he asked him this, it was better to hit the idea on the short old man surnamed Yuan, who was a bit sophisticated and greedy for small and cheap things.
He didn't take the money, but said, "This money should be given to him for cigarettes!" ”
After speaking, Li Xiangnan walked out of the small shop and stood outside the door to observe this down-and-out village and town.
On the surface, there is nothing abnormal in this village and town, it seems that there are no feng shui problems, and there is no source of condensation and evil, and it seems to be normal and calm.
However, there was always an indescribable intuitive intuition that made Li Xiangnan feel that there was an extremely hidden yin qi here, so Li Xiangnan let go of his divine sense and searched around, except for feeling that this village and town was surrounded by an ancient spirit killing qi, there was no other abnormality, which was a bit strange.
At this time, the short old man surnamed Yuan walked out of the small shop, and lit a cheap cigarette, seemingly idle, Li Xiangnan beckoned to him and said, "Old Yuan, come here, let's talk!" ”
Old man Yuan walked over and said, "Young man, why don't you leave, there are very few outsiders here, what are you doing here?" ”
Li Xiangnan took out two boxes of good cigarettes from the car and threw them to Old Man Yuan and said, "Old Yuan, I see that the people in this village and town are like dead people, as long as you are normal, how about we make a deal?" ”
Lao Yuan originally took the good cigarette, but when he heard this, he couldn't help but have a little anger in his eyes, and said: "You are just a dead man, what are you talking about, seeing that you are a good young man, I advise you to leave this Baitang Town quickly, I am such a bad old man, what can I be deceived by you, you better save it!" ”
Li Xiangnan saw that the old man was still standing there, so he guessed his thoughts somewhat, and said: "Of course, in such a dilapidated poor town, there is a foreigner, what can I want from you, I just want to ask a few questions, you answer a question, I will give you fifty yuan, what do you think?" ”
As soon as he heard that he would get fifty yuan for answering a question, Old Man Yuan's eyes couldn't help but light up, but he didn't agree: "You better go, it's not good for you to stay here!" ”
Li Xiangnan shook the hundred yuan in his hand, put it in his pocket, and said, "Since that's the case, forget it, I'll find someone who is willing to earn this money and ask!" ”
Just as he was about to get into the car, Lao Yuan hesitated, and finally said: "Alas, young man, don't go, let's talk about ......"
Li Xiangnan smiled lightly, walked over and said, "As far as I know, this is once an ancient battlefield, a place where soldiers are fierce and obscure, but there is still a village here, why are there only old people left, others like young people?" ”
This question is very simple, Old Man Yuan said: "This Baitang Town is a famous singles town in Gaojiang County, grandma doesn't hurt, uncle doesn't love it, and the government doesn't care, there have been no young people for 20 years, and only our old bachelors are left!" ”
"Then why don't you leave here and live with a wife somewhere else?"
Old man Yuan said: "Since it is a singles town, naturally no woman dares to marry in, women come crazy one by one, and we, old bachelors, who leave this town, will not end well, naturally no one dares to leave casually!" ”
Li Xiangnan gave the hundred yuan in his hand to Old Man Yuan.
Old man Yuan saw that he earned a hundred yuan so easily, but he was a little surprised, this matter in Baitang Town, many people in the surrounding villages know about it, this young man doesn't know if he is really stupid, or fake smart, is this preparing to fish?
Li Xiangnan took out another hundred yuan, attracted Old Man Yuan, and said, "Who is the old ghost you just said in the store?" ”
"Nature is ......"
Hearing this question, Old Man Yuan was about to answer, but his face suddenly changed, he shook his head violently, and said, "I can't answer you this question!" ”
When Li Xiangnan asked, he deliberately paid attention to Old Man Yuan's eyes, and now when he answered this question, his eyes couldn't help but aim at a place, looking very afraid.
So he followed Old Man Yuan's gaze, and saw that it was a mine that had been abandoned before, and he didn't move, but said, "Since that's the case, forget it, then let me ask you again, is this town haunted?" ”
"yes, this is a ghost town in the first place, it's been twenty years!"
Old man Yuan's answer seemed very numb.
After listening to this answer, Li Xiangnan felt that such a problem here might be related to something that happened twenty years ago, so he said: "What happened here twenty years ago?" ”
