Chapter 447: Weird
When the words fell, Bai Weiying and Si Huazhen looked at each other and smiled, and then left hand in hand, Wu You was still sitting in the bamboo house, he looked at the figure of a pair of beautiful people who were gradually moving away, the corners of his mouth hooked slightly, and sighed: "People who are destined will meet themselves." ”
When the village chief saw the two of them walking out, he hurriedly greeted them, and asked sideways, "What instructions did the elder give you?" Or some admonition, or something, like a key to a treasure......"
At the end of the village chief's speech, his eyes flashed, as if some unknown emotion was brewing, and before Bai Weiying could see it clearly, it flashed.
Bai Weiying thought a little in her heart, but her face was not obvious, and she replied, "Yes." ”
"Oh? What is it? The village chief's calm face was a little loosened when he landed, and he asked eagerly: "Could it be that this golden key to open the treasure is not successful?" ”
Bai Weiying replied half-truthfully: "The elder said that Ah Zhen and I are the people of destiny, and we are here to save the common people, and before leaving, he also told me and my wife to cherish this fate, but the rest is not explicit." ”
When Bai Weiying said this, he subconsciously hid the golden key deeper, and when Si Huazhen heard Bai Weiying say this, he also sang and said in harmony: "The village chief should also know that the two of us are just outsiders, even if there is really something, the elder must not be at ease to tell me and my wife everything truthfully." ”
In fact, Wu You not only told Bai Weiying and Si Huazhen about the instructions of the Mandate of Heaven, but also handed over the treasure map and the golden key that the village chief seemed to care about the most to the two of them.
However, Bai Weiying didn't plan to tell the village chief about these things now, for some reason, she always felt that there seemed to be something unspeakably strange about the village chief.
"Okay." The village chief did not doubt Si Huazhen's words, but he also waved his hand in disappointment and said, "Since there is nothing to do, you can go back first." ”
Bai Weiying nodded lightly, and after walking a distance, he inadvertently turned around, but happened to see the village chief's frowning and contemplative appearance, and his eyes kept falling into the bamboo house.
Si Huazhen pinched the back of Bai Weiying's hand and asked in a deep voice, "But do you feel strange?" ”
Bai Weiying let out an inaudible "um", this place is not a good place to talk, they have to wait until they go back before they can express the doubts and thoughts in their hearts.
Si Huazhen naturally understood Bai Weiying's intentions, and he also remained silent, the two were silent all the way, and when they returned to Aunt Lin's yard, Aunt Lin was busy in the kitchen.
"I'll help Aunt Lin, and by the way, inquire about the situation of the village chief." Bai Weiying whispered to Si Huazhen beside him in a voice that could only be heard by the two of them.
Si Huazhen understood, "Okay, I'll be with you." ”
When Bai Weiying heard this, she pressed Si Huazhen's arm, "You are still in the recovery period, sit in the courtyard first, and it will be fine for a while, don't worry." ”
Si Huazhen wanted to say something, but Bai Weiying had already made a decision, and he couldn't refute it anymore, so he could only sit in the courtyard and look at the stone in front of Wangfushi.
Bai Weiying rolled up her sleeves and walked into the kitchen with her feet raised.
"Ouch, White Girl, why did you get in? Just leave this rough work to me. Aunt Lin turned her head suddenly, but she saw Bai Weiying who was about to wash the vegetables, she hurriedly stepped forward and said, "You are a guest, I should entertain you, you better go out and rest." ”
"It's okay, I'm idle." Bai Weiying's autumn-like eyes were full of goodwill smiles, and she quietly narrowed the distance between her and Aunt Lin, "Auntie has someone to help her, and when you cook, you can be faster, right?" The eldest lady should not refrain any more. ”
Aunt Lin saw that although Bai Weiying's tone was soft when she spoke, there was something that could not be refused, so she could only nod her head.
Bai Wei's hands and feet are quick when he works, and the work that originally took an hour to complete was completed in half an hour, and Aunt Lin was full of praise for such an efficient Bai Weiying: "Bai girl, you are really out of the hall and in the kitchen, if I am a man, I will definitely fall in love with you." ”
Bai Weiying's beautiful and vulgar face appeared a little embarrassed at the right time, and said humbly: "Don't make fun of me, Auntie, I'm just a small skill of carving insects, and I just have an axe, where can I afford such praise from Auntie." ”
Seeing this, Aunt Lin liked Bai Weiying more and more, she was not arrogant or impatient, she was beautiful and kind-hearted, such a woman, whoever saw it, she couldn't help but want to get close.
"Auntie, how long have you been living here?" Bai Weiying saw that Aunt Lin had already let down her guard, her eyes rolled, and she asked tentatively: "Could it be that you have never been out of Lechuan Village?" Did the ancestors not allow it, issued a ban, or ......"
Aunt Lin seemed to remember something, her expression was more solemn and helpless, and said: "Since I was born, I have never been out of the village, and this rule was not so strict, although the ancestors were worried that we would encounter some accidents, but they also relaxed this rule appropriately, and occasionally, we can also go to the world above the cliff to have a look, but ......"
Aunt Lin paused and continued: "After the village chief took office, the rules of this Lechuan Village have become strict, and now no matter who it is, they are not allowed to take half a step out of this Lechuan Village, and if they step out without permission, they will be punished by the gods. ”
No matter who it is, they all yearn for freedom, but the village chief completely cut off the contact between Lechuan Village and the outside world on the grounds that he needs to guard the treasure for generations.
The villagers also expressed their understanding of the village chief's approach, but after all, it was still a little uneasy.
When Bai Weiying heard this, she pretended to be sorry and sighed: "So that's the case, it's a last resort, the village chief does this, there is also a reason for him to do this, maybe he has something unspeakable?" However, his possessiveness or desire to protect Lethe Village is somewhat strong. ”
Cutting off communication with the outside world sounds like it is to protect the treasure and the safety of the village, but if you take a closer look, you can find a certain stubborn and crazy emotion of the village chief for Lethe Village.
This kind of emotion may be the reason why the village chief is acting suspiciously, but what it is, Bai Weiying still has no way of knowing, and everything still needs time to verify.
"Perhaps, no matter what the village chief does, it is for our good, although he is strict and old-fashioned, but he sincerely loves Lechuan Village." Aunt Lin did not have any resentment towards the village chief, but gave a very high evaluation.
