Chapter 169: Almost
Ye Youhuan and Zhong Ling came to an unknown small fishing village.
The customs of this place are strange and the villagers are very unwelcoming to outsiders.
After Ye Youhuan negotiated with the village chief, he was able to accept taking a step back.
The village chief sent the villagers to send them to the town of Yanjin overnight.
However, Ye Youhuan asked Zhong Ling if he projected, Zhong Ling squinted his eyes and smiled, and said to Ye Youhuan: "I want to live here tonight." ”
"I heard you." Ye Youhuan turned around and said to the village chief: "My eldest cousin said that I would rest here tonight and leave tomorrow." ”
"Can't you see that outsiders are not welcome here?" The village chief asked.
"What do you see?" Ye Youhuan asked.
"Are you ......" The old man was stunned by the question, but when he saw Ye Youhuan's arrogant and domineering appearance, he shook his head helplessly.
The old village chief sighed and said to Ye Youhuan and Zhong Ling: "If it's just for one night, it's not impossible, but it's ......"
Ye Youhuan saw that the old man was a little hesitant, so he asked, "But what?" ”
"But you have to say yes." The old village chief said.
Ye Youhuan asked, "You said come and listen." ”
The old village chief said, "Because of our faith, we are not allowed to leave the room at night. ”
"Can't go out at night?" Ye Youhuan asked.
"That's right." The old village chief said very seriously: "You must not go out. ”
"What if I get up late at night to go to the bathroom?" Ye Youhuan asked.
"There is a night pot in the room." The old village chief said, "If you agree, we can take you in for the night, otherwise even if you kill the old man, I won't let you live in." ”
"Isn't it just that you can't go out at night, no problem." Ye Youhuan agreed to the old man's conditions.
"Little brother, you talk and count." The village chief asked.
"Of course." Ye Youhuan replied very simply, but if he really knew him, he should know that he was a very unreliable person.
"Then let you stay at my house tonight." The village chief asked Ye Youhuan and Zhong Ling to live in his house.
The villagers around all looked bad.
It can be seen that they are very disgusted with Ye Youhuan and Zhong Ling.
However, the villagers heard the conversation between the village chief and the two people.
These villagers could barely accept the agreement between the village chief and Ye Youhuan.
Ye Youhuan and Zhong Ling left after the village chief, and the villagers on the side of the road reminded the two: "Remember not to go out at night." ”
"That's right, don't go out at night, or everyone will be killed by you."
Ye Youhuan and Zhong Ling didn't know why, so they didn't reply, but just followed the old village chief to his house.
On the way, Ye Youhuan found many sculptures and murals of strange snakes.
The strange snake was huge, and judging from the pictures, the body of the big snake was even longer than the entire village.
The snake's body was covered with dense and disgusting, which made Ye Youhuan feel numb.
The village chief's yard is the westernmost part of the village, and it is the house closest to the sea in the village.
This yard is the largest in the village, but there are not many neighbors around.
Before walking into the courtyard, Ye Youhuan looked back, and he saw that the villagers were looking at them from a distance, and many villagers were muttering something in their mouths, as if they were praying for the blessing of the gods.
"What a bunch of weirdos." Ye Youhuan muttered in his heart.
Walking into the courtyard, the old village chief took Ye Youhuan and Zhong Ling around the main house and walked to the backyard.
The path leading to the backyard is overgrown with weeds, and the village chief's ancestors and grandchildren usually don't go to the backyard.
When I walked through the courtyard gate, my vision suddenly opened up.
"This yard is not small." Ye Youhuan found that the backyard was bigger than the front yard.
"Our Gao family used to be brilliant." The old man didn't make a fuss when he mentioned it, and it seemed that those glorious days were far away from now.
When I opened the door and walked in, the yard was more desolate than I had imagined.
"Look at the environment here, can you live?" The village chief asked, standing in the doorway.
"Yes!" Ye Youhuan walked in with Zhong Ling and entered the main house.
The yard is deserted, but the room is actually fine.
There was no futon on the bed, only a mattress topper.
"You wait here, I'll go to someone else's house and borrow two sets of bedding." The old village chief said.
"Don't bother with it anymore." Ye Youhuan said: "We people who practice martial arts have good physical fitness, and we are not afraid of cold or cold. ”
Ye Youhuan and Zhong Ling's physical fitness is very good, but they are not people who practice martial arts, so it is convenient for him to understand what they said to the village chief.
"Really?" The village chief asked.
"No, I don't." Ye Youhuan and Zhong Ling can wear coats, and the two of them can also light a brazier to keep warm.
"We agreed in advance, you can only move around the room, not even the yard." The old man pointed to the corner of the wall, where there was a night pot: "Use that if you want it to be convenient." ”
"Got it." Ye Youhuan waved his hand and said a little impatiently: "It's just to stay with you for one night, I see that you are nervous." ”
The village chief was always nervous, but he didn't show it, and he tried his best to restrain himself.
His grandson was at the door, and the nervousness and fear could not be hidden.
"Why does this fishing village feel so strange?" Ye Youhuan felt that the village was strange.
When the village chief and grandson left, Zhong Ling also said to Ye Youhuan: "The villagers here are so strange. ”
"yes, sneaky people don't know what secrets are hidden in their hearts." Ye Youhuan deeply agreed.
"Big cousin, are you really going to hide in your room and sleep honestly without going out as you said?" Zhong Ling looked at Ye Youhuan curiously.
"That's right!" Ye Youhuan smiled bitterly: "I guessed that you must have wanted to find out the secrets of the villagers when you stayed." ”
"Hey, hey!" Zhong Ling smiled and asked, "You're also curious." ”
"Curiosity is curiosity, but looking at these villagers' chatter, will there be any danger." Ye Youhuan was a little hesitant.
"Are you still afraid of danger?" Zhong Ling smiled: "You are harder than the life of a cockroach, and you are even afraid of danger." ”
"I'm not immortal, okay......" Ye Youhuan said with a wry smile, this is already Zhong Ling doesn't know how many times he has complained about his self-healing ability.
The repair ability of his body is indeed terrifying, but Ye Youhuan knows that this immortal body is not omnipotent, he can clearly feel that his head is the Achilles' heel, especially the center of the eyebrows, this place must not be injured.
"Big cousin, you can take me to check it out." Zhong Ling said coquettishly: "I'm really curious. ”
"......" Ye Youhuan smiled bitterly: "You have to think clearly, this kind of thing is usually very evil." ”
"What do you mean by an evil sect?" Zhong Ling had never heard of this word.
Ye Youhuan explained: "It's both weird and dangerous. ”
"Don't worry, big cousin." Zhong Ling patted his chest and promised, "I will protect you." ”
"I'm pretty much protecting you." Ye Youhuan pursed his lips.
After the two finished discussing, they began to tidy up the room.
Then they chatted in the room, waiting for it to get completely dark.
"Almost."
When the moon climbed to the top, it was already late at night.
Outside, there was silence.
Because it was cold, there was not even the sound of insects, and the world was silent.
