Chapter 4 Appetite

The candle was carried all the way to the table by the woman, and the white light was faint, dimming the originally beautiful dishes.

The village chief's words can be said to have exploded in the hearts of several people.

"In the coffin? You mean...... Alice Chow is dead? Ju Lan asked tremblingly.

"Hey, when did you die? Is there a mistake, village chief, I obviously had contact with him a few days ago. Carlos wasn't too surprised, and there was a flash of temptation in his blue eyes.

The village chief looked surprised: "There is a connection? Then I don't know, there was a heavy rain here a few days ago, Xiao Sheng, he and his friends went up the mountain to play, and was accidentally buried in the mountain. The villagers tried to dig him out, but it took a lot of effort. ā€

He said very sure, that is, at least all the news they received from Zhou Yongsheng recently was sent by a dead person.

Yu Xing listened, his eyes swept over the fish on the plate, and the aroma of braised fish wafted into his nose, arousing his appetite.

At present, it seems that Zhou Yongsheng is not an NPC to advance the plot, but a ghost.

So what is the purpose of him lying that he is a fan and tricking him here?

Also, Ju Lan said that her "boyfriend" and Zhou Yongsheng are classmates, so Zhou Yongsheng is sure to die, what about her boyfriend?

Licking his lips, Yu Xing was full of regret, his pale face showed a little sadness, but also a trace of sympathy:

"Zhou Yongsheng is not bad, quite cheerful, I didn't expect to encounter an accident this year. I thought that since I knew him, I should also come and see him off. ā€

He followed the words of the village chief and skillfully changed his intentions, since so many people are connected to Zhou Yongsheng, and the clues are currently all pointing to this person, then he believes that the main quest should also be related to this.

It's time to put the main quest out.

"It's great for Xiao Sheng to have a friend like you, and he came to his funeral, I think he will be very happy to see you in the coffin." The village chief likes Yu Xing, this young man is white and polite, and he speaks well.

"Well, then I...... What happened to the friend who went up the mountain with Zhou Yongsheng now? Ju Lan's eyes widened.

"Those young men...... They were all found, and they were all dug up, but they were not handsome, and many parts of their bodies were rotten when they were dug up, and they were not good-looking, not good-looking. The village chief shook his head.

Ju Lan's face changed.

"Little girl, don't regret it, it's a good thing that you didn't come with them, otherwise, now you're rotten, rotten, it's not good-looking." The woman smiled, her face shrouded in a shaky light.

Her words made the group lose interest in eating, I don't know if it was because of the content of the words, or because of the strange expressions on the faces of the village chief and the woman when they talked about the dead man.

Even if Ju Lan, Wei Fan, and Xu Hong didn't follow them to the kitchen, they were completely aware that something was wrong, and the logic of the village chief and his wife was not like normal people at all.

Are these two the only ones, or is it the whole village?

The rice in his hand suddenly became less fragrant.

"Eat, it's cold if you don't eat." Seeing that everyone didn't move their chopsticks, the village chief hurriedly greeted them.

This meal cannot be eaten, in case any death condition is triggered after eating it......

Thinking so, the few people who entered the kitchen quietly exchanged glances with the others who didn't know it, and secretly prevented them from eating the food from an unknown source.

At that moment, a pair of chopsticks came out of front of their eyes and sandwiched a piece of scrambled egg.

ā€œā€¦ā€¦ļ¼Ÿā€

Everyone looked over in surprise, only to see that Wenwen quietly San had already stuffed a large piece of scrambled eggs into his mouth, and sandwiched a piece of braised fish, his cheeks bulging, like an unsuspecting hamster.

ā€œā€¦ā€¦ā€

Is this hungry?

Are you dying of hunger?

Xiao Xuechen frowned, inexplicably worried about him, there was Ju Lan between her and San, so she stretched out her hand under the table, ignoring the surprise in Ju Lan's eyes, and tried to quietly pull a pinch of Yu Xing's plush clothes.

Yu Xing ate vigorously, and suddenly felt that his clothes were being pulled, he didn't know, and showed a smile: "This dish is so delicious, you can eat it too." ā€

Xiao Xuechen withdrew his hand and sighed: What should my teammates do if they help ghosts talk? Waiting online, it's in a hurry.

However, maybe he has a sacrifice on him that can detect the authenticity of food......

Thinking so, she reluctantly stretched out her chopsticks, picked up the small green vegetables and tasted them.

It's just so-so.

With them moving the chopsticks first, the rest of the deducers were skeptical, and when the village chief and the woman were still watching, they all meant to eat casually.

Yu Xing swallowed the food in his mouth and asked casually, "When is the funeral?" ā€

The village chief patted his thigh: "Haha, Xiaosheng hasn't been dead for long, today is the first seven, and the funeral will be tomorrow night, I'll take you to see it then." ā€

In one sentence, several death flags soared out one after another.

The first seven, tomorrow's funeral, neither of which sounds like a safe point in time.

[Main quest has been triggered: Attend Zhou Yongsheng's funeral and leave Guanjia Village alive]

The main quest is clear at this time, and it is indeed no different from Yu Xing's speculation.

"We'll stay, so, village chief, where are we staying tonight?" Wei Fan, the eldest of the seated performers, looked at the rooms around the courtyard, and it was obvious that there were not enough people for seven people.

This means that they are going to be separated at night.

"It's been a nuisance for the past two days, and we'll pay for the accommodation." Xiao Xuechen followed up with a sentence, she never said anything about her profession, although she said that she was a colleague with Wei Fan, she didn't look like a female engineer.

Yu Xing observed her carefully, and he guessed that this woman's role should be at the level of the boss, and her social status in reality would not be low, and the tone of being used to being a superior person could not deceive people.

"No problem, I'll take care of the accommodation! Almost every household in our village has an empty room, I will find you two reliable ones, oh yes, our family can live two people, there is an empty room, two beds in it! ā€

The village chief carried out the quality of hospitality, and then looked at Yu Xing eagerly, "Young man, you can live in our house, I see that you have eyes, and I like it very much." ā€

"Okay." Yu Xing, who was named, smiled back and promised happily.

"Then I—" Carlos' eyes lit up, but the woman interrupted him before he could finish his sentence.

The woman's dark eyes stared at Xiao Xuechen, and a bad premonition rose in her heart: "I look at my daughter, and you also live in our house, little girl." ā€

Hiss......

Xiao Xuechen bit her teeth quietly, and she felt a sudden shock in her heart, because she saw the appearance of the woman's corpse just now, did this ghost remember herself?

How can this tone sound subtle and gloomy, as if it were threatening?

It's almost telling her that something is going to happen to her tonight!

She wasn't sure if the village chief was a human with a brain problem or if he was a ghost, but she was sure that San's luck was just as bad as she was.

Targeted by ghosts.

"But auntie, Xiao Xuechen is a girl, and she lives in the same room with a boy, isn't it suitable?" Carlos spoke out against it, seemingly intending to stay at the village chief's house on his own initiative.

"Yes, Auntie, I'm also a girl, I want to live with Sister Xiao." Ju Lan gave full play to the talent of the little girl, and her tone was full of apprehension after leaving home.

"Hey, there aren't so many twists and turns in our village, what's wrong with the young man and the little girl sleeping in one room, and not sleeping in the same bed." The woman obviously didn't give up, she seemed to recognize Xiao Xuechen, and Xiao Xuechen snorted coldly in her heart.

"Okay, I don't mind." She was stared at by women one after another, and she was also a little unhappy.

Do you really think she's a good bully?

Also, sleep in the same room with San - eye-catching!

Yu Xing didn't mind this, or rather, it didn't matter who lived in the same house.

It doesn't affect him anyway.

Most of the people who ate this meal were not happy, but Yu Xing had a particularly good appetite.

After eating, it was completely dark, and Yu Xing remembered asking before, and the village chief said that after the evening passed, the villagers would come out for activities at night.

He proposed that he wanted to go out for a walk, and it happened that the village chief was going to take them to live in other villagers' houses, so everyone went out together.

His lodging had already been decided, and instead of following the large army, he walked in the other direction, seemingly casually.

This village is really weird, undisguised eccentric, almost writing the word "problematic" on the surface.

Night was approaching, and the sparkling white light began to wander around the village.

The wind blew the branches of the dead trees in the village, and there was a rustling sound, but other than that, there were no insects, no animals, not a little life.

Only those white points of light, when you get closer, you can see some human silhouettes and hear some conversations.

It was a villager with a white candle!

Yu Xing's neckline and back were cold, and he lingered next to a few villagers for a while, and the conversation he heard was basically-

Come out to enjoy the cool?

Yes, it's too stuffy at home, come out and breathe.

Do you know about Xiaosheng's funeral tomorrow?

I know, I'm sure I'm going to go.

Listening further, Yu Xing became interested.

"There are a few outsiders in the village today, and the village chief is taking them to find a place to live!"

"Unit~ Which ones are so lucky?"

"I don't know, those in the west of the village."

He listened and listened, and a bold idea was born.

Unfortunately, before he could make any moves, a sound of footsteps came from behind him, and then, the girl's voice was very low, and she asked in a low voice, "San, what are you going to do tonight?" ā€

"Huh?" Yu Xing turned around, it was Xiao Xuechen, who was also far away from the army.

Xiao Xuechen and he were both people who had to stay at the village chief's house tonight, and they came to him at this time just to discuss countermeasures.

He looked down at her slightly: "What, do you think the village chief's wife is coming to gank you tonight?" ā€

ā€œā€¦ā€¦ I think it's possible. She, she didn't look at me so kindly, I felt like I would be the first target. Xiao Xuechen's face was not powdered, her curls were loose and loose, but her face was very calm, she hadn't even forgotten the nature of this deduction, "San, you are a painter, I don't know if you believe that there is something in this world that science can't explain." Wei Gong and I ...... We're actually from the Weird Incident Investigation Studio. ā€

"Oh~" Yu Xing looked at her with a smile.

"Maybe you don't believe that." Xiao Xuechen said in her heart that the deducer would not believe this, but for the sake of the logic of the role, she still had to explain it seriously!

"Wei Gong and I came here to investigate the strange incidents here, and as far as we know, Ju Lan's so-called boyfriend is actually an investigator, but he lost contact with him during the last mission, and I have reason to believe that Ju Lan is our peer." Xiao Xuechen is quite interesting, she said this, which is equivalent to exposing the identity of her, Wei Gong, and Ju Lan as "old players".

Yu Xing: "So? ā€

"So if you also came to investigate under the guise of your identity, please help ...... tonight"

"Ah, I'm really just a painter." Yu Xing innocently looked at the stunned little royal sister in front of her, "How can you help?" At most, if you're scared, I'll sleep with you in my arms? ā€

I'm sorry, the little devil in his heart is about to move, he really can't help but want to tease his dear teammates.
