Chapter 39: Strange Little Village
It's just that this feeling is not good, he looked at the closed doors, and involuntarily fantasized in his mind whether there would be zombies hidden behind the doors, and ran out to bite him when he wasn't paying attention.
The more Hui Mian thought about it, the more weird he felt, and he always felt uncomfortable in his heart.
"Hey.. Hey, brother! ”
Suddenly, there was a shout of excitement from the side.
However, his shout, in this quiet small village, was particularly loud, and the wisdom of the face who was silent in his fantasy was so frightened that he almost took out the bronze sword.
"You're going to die, what are you doing shouting so loudly, what are you going to do if you scare people...", but now there wasn't even a ghost around the village, and he hurriedly changed his words.
"Even if you can't scare people, it's not right to scare flowers and plants!"
Forehead... Why do I feel so familiar?
Xiao Yaosheng has been with Hui Mian recently, and he has long been used to some words from the other party's mouth that make him feel inexplicable, so he didn't pay attention to this stubble, but pulled Hui Mian and hurriedly ran to a courtyard.
"You see, here... There seems to be someone in this house, maybe this is not a deserted village! ”
Hui Mian looked in the direction that Xiao Yaosheng pointed, and sure enough, as Xiao Yaosheng said, through the window of this house, he saw the lights in the house.
Hui Mian was happy on his face: "Go, knock on the door, maybe you don't have to sleep on the street tonight." ”
He came to the door of the house and knocked on the door.
"Is there anyone in the house, we are monks passing by here, it is getting late, we want to stay here for one night, and hope that the donor will be merciful and convenient."
Hui Mian emphasized that he was a monk and did not want to scare the people in the room, after all, in this era of the rise of Buddhism, monks gave people the impression that they were the kind of Buddha who helped the world and purified all sentient beings.
Otherwise, in the middle of the night, a person suddenly came over and knocked on the door, saying that he wanted to spend the night, not to mention these villagers, even him, he would not open the door.
The devil knows if the one who knocks on the door is the bad guy.
Hui Mian shouted several times in a row, but not only did the family not come out to open the door, they didn't even say a word of inquiry, and even the lights were extinguished.
"Fuck, I'm being treated like a bad guy again!"
Xiaoyaosheng knew Hui Mian's temper, he was afraid that his senior brother would be angry and kick the door again, so he hurriedly came over to persuade him.
"Maybe the family just went to sleep, or else... Let's try something else? ”
Hui Mian had no choice but to agree, he couldn't really kick in other people's doors.
But Huimian and Xiaoyaosheng knocked on the doors of five or six houses in a row, but as a result, none of them were willing to open the door for them.
And from beginning to end, the people of the whole village were stunned and did not make a sound at all.
The two looked at each other.
"Senior brother, it seems that the problem in this village is not small." Xiaoyaosheng looked determined.
Hui Mian nodded: "Indeed, according to common sense, even if people here are unwilling to contact outsiders, they can say it openly!" ”
"But we've been knocking on the door for so long, and the villagers here haven't made the slightest sound, which doesn't make sense, unless..."
He thought of a possibility.
"Unless they're scared, they don't dare make a sound!"
"yes!"
Xiaoyaosheng sighed, and continued: "But what are these people afraid of, could it be that there are ghosts in this place? ”
Hearing this, Hui Mian looked up at the starry sky, and the surroundings were still quiet as usual, except for being particularly quiet, there was nothing suspicious.
He was a little unsure: "It's hard to say, I don't feel anything strange, it doesn't look like a ghost!" ”
"Then what are we going to do, should we go or..."
"Wait and see, it's not bad to be in a hurry, not to mention that it's already dark, let's find a place to live first, I don't want to sleep until midnight and get drenched in the rain."
In fact, there are two main reasons why Hui Mian wants to stay.
One, he wanted to figure out what was going on here, what these people were afraid of.
Second, by the way, ask the locals about the location of the daughter's village.
He came to save people, time was pressing, and Hui Mian didn't want to delay time because he didn't know the way.
But the people here refuse to open the door, and he can't really force his way in, so he won't be a thief.
So he can only choose to stay here for one night, he doesn't believe that the people here don't go out at home during the day!
As long as you can see people, everything will be easy to do.
Soon after, Hui Mian found an abandoned courtyard in the village, the house looked like it had been uninhabited for a long time, and the furniture and beds in the house had been removed, but fortunately they didn't care about it.
The two of them cleaned up the dust in the house a little, and then took out the quilt from the system backpack, and made do with it, but it was habitable.
...
After nightfall, in a house where Hui Mian had knocked on the door, an elderly couple was nervously hiding behind the door of the hall, carefully listening to the movement outside.
"Old... Chief, are they gone? The woman couldn't help but ask.
"Shh
The old man suddenly turned around, covered the woman's mouth, and whispered a reproach: "You are crazy, so loud, what should you do if you summon that thing over!" ”
When the woman was told this by the old man, a cold sweat immediately came down.
She whispered, "Amitabha, Amitabha... Don't come to our house! ”
"Hey, it's not bad luck to go to someone's house!"
The old man sighed, put his ear to the door again, and waited for a moment before breathing a sigh of relief.
"There was no sound outside the house, and I didn't hear any movement from anyone's house, so let's go!"
When the woman heard this, she was also greatly relieved.
"Ouch... Whoa, it scares me to death. ”
The woman was beating her chest, panting a little, and her face was pale, obviously frightened.
The old man hurriedly stepped forward to help, his wife was scared out, once frightened, it would be difficult to breathe, and once, he was almost suffocated to death.
"Hey, what kind of sin is this, why did we just let our village catch up!"
The old man said as he helped his daughter-in-law to get along.
After a while, the woman's face improved slightly, and her face gradually turned bloody.
"Old man, it's been half a month since our eldest baby went out, count the days, he should also go to the place, do you think he can invite the immortals..."
"It's hard to say!"
The old man sighed, and continued: "But no matter what you say, our eldest baby has finally gone out, no matter whether you can find the immortal or not, I don't want him to come back, this place... I really can't stay anymore, go out, maybe I can have a way to live! ”
The woman shook her head helplessly, reciting Amitabha Buddha in her heart and praying for her child outside.
