The old man was very resolute in driving us away, and knew that even if he knocked on the door again, it would be boring for him, so the three of them left the alley the way they came.

When we got back to the street, we don't know if it was because of the old man's warning, but we saw that every townsman felt that something was wrong, but it was very awkward. So we really believed the old man's warning, and stopped talking to the townspeople.

In this way, our interest in playing suddenly became unpleasant, so we returned to the inn early.

The innkeeper was still cowering behind the counter in the lobby, lying in a chair, looking wilted, and told us that the others had not yet returned, and that dinner would not be until the hour. His face was as pale as yesterday, but for some reason, I always felt that there seemed to be an imperceptible hint of cyan on his pale and bloodless face. I thought I was dazzled, so I rubbed my eyes, and when I looked closer, I couldn't see anything.

I went upstairs suspiciously, and just as we opened the door, a man happened to come down from the corner of the dimly lit staircase. I was stunned, didn't the innkeeper just tell me that the others hadn't come back yet, why did someone come down upstairs? I squinted my eyes and took a closer look, only to find that the person who came down from the third floor turned out to be the oldest and most withdrawn Yang Bo in the tour group.

Could it be that he, like us, didn't follow Sister Yang out?

Since I saw it and came with me, I naturally wanted to say hello, I smiled at him and said politely: "Hello Uncle Yang, why didn't you go out with them?" ”

Seeing us, Uncle Yang was stunned, snorted, did not answer my question, and asked, "Why did you come back so early?" ”

The tone of Uncle Yang's words seemed to be a little dissatisfied, and I suddenly had a weird feeling, so I smiled and said: "We didn't go out with the tour group, we went out for a walk by ourselves, it wasn't interesting, so we came back early, Uncle Yang, are you okay?" ”

The reason why I asked this is because Yang Bo was the first person to take the key last night, and his room was on the third floor, but looking at his current appearance, it seems that he is preparing to enter the second floor.

Uncle Yang's expression did not change, and he said expressionlessly: "It's okay, I'm just a little hungry, and I don't know the way, I want to see if you have come back, so I can go out for a meal together." ”

Hearing this, I nodded, feeling that the old man's words were like an improvised excuse, not like true. But what does the old man want to do is his business, even if he wants to steal things, all we left in the inn are some daily necessities, and we carry valuable things with us, no big deal, and I don't want to cause more trouble, so I didn't expose him. But people have already made up lies, so wouldn't it be straightforward to tell him that I have seen through your lies? So I told him perfunctorily that there was no currency in circulation in the ancient town, and it was useless to go out, and the inn would deliver dinner in two hours.

The old man also seemed to have a weak heart, so I gave him the steps, and he went down with it, without much nonsense, and turned back.

As soon as we entered the house, Roy spoke: "Reporter, that old man is not a good man, he was lying just now. ”

I was stunned, I didn't expect even Luo Yi to see it, she still wanted to speak, but was stopped by the doctor. The doctor made a gesture not to speak, closed the door, and listened to the wooden wall for a while before he said, "All right, we're gone." ”

With that, the three of them sat down, and I asked Luo how he could see that the old man was lying. Luo Yi looked like a ghost and said, "Didn't you all find out? When he first found us, there was a gloomy expression on his face, and it flashed, although he covered it up well, but this girl had such good eyes and was smart, how could she be so easily deceived by him. ”

Luo Yi analyzed with a smug face, but the doctor and I couldn't help laughing, I really didn't expect that Luo Yi, who was so straightforward, actually had such a meticulous side, and really underestimated him. I also nodded, and said that I had also found out, and the old man had found himself to go to the second floor to see if we had come back, and then wanted us to take him out to dinner, and if he really thought so, then his expression when he first found out that we had come back should not have been surprised, but joyful, and he would not ask why we had come back so early.

There is only one situation when you ask such a question, that is, you are going to do something unsightly when someone else is going out, and you happen to be interrupted by someone coming back early.

My analysis made Luo Yi agree with it, she gave me a thumbs up, saying that I didn't expect anyone to be as clever as her, and she is now worshipping me more and more, and I suddenly had a black line in my head, and I didn't know what to say.

While I was discussing with Roy, the doctor didn't speak, holding his hands as if thinking about something, so I asked him what he was thinking.

The doctor looked at me and shook his head, wondering in my heart and asked him what was wrong.

"You're thinking too simply!" The doctor said, and now we both looked at him suspiciously, and he shook his head and asked, "Do you really think that an old man who has lived for more than sixty years and has a secret can be so simple?" Don't you think that the old man's expressions and words when he saw us were so obvious that he could see through them without even thinking about it? ”

I froze, looked at the doctor, and asked, "You mean, the old man's gloomy expression and those flawed words are deliberately shown to us?" ”

The doctor nodded and said, "I'm afraid yes, on the way we came, especially on that bumpy road, everyone was tortured to the point of decay, only he has not reacted, do you think he will be so simple that he will be happy and angry?" ”

"Ahh No way? He, why would he do that? I exclaimed.

The doctor smiled wryly, shook his head, and said that he didn't know, but he usually did it, either by being broken by someone and making a fuss, rather than explaining it more suspiciously, it was better to directly let you think that he had a problem, as long as it didn't involve his own interests, few people would be nosy. Either there's a bigger secret behind it, so that others can turn their attention to themselves and protect that bigger secret.

This explanation made my mouth open wide, and my heart said that this is too suspenseful, how can it be the same as the story in suspense, this is not fucking suspense.

The doctor didn't talk about it in detail, but just told us to be more careful with Uncle Yang in the future, this person must have an ulterior secret.

Although there was no real harvest when we went out today, and the source of the copper bell was not found, we knew some strange things about the ancient town from the old man of the coffin shop.

Although the old man did not tell us the secrets of the ancient town in detail, he could also get some peeks out of the unusual things from the warnings he gave us and the strange behavior of the townspeople. First of all, the ancient town is not connected to the currency of the outside world, which is very strange, in the 21st century, advanced communication technology and developed transportation has basically covered the whole country, even if there are some remote deep mountain areas and can not communicate freely, but there is always some contact with the outside world, even if the situation of the outside world is not particularly familiar, but more or less understand a thing or two.

The current state of the ancient town can really be described as isolated, there is no electricity, and the road is the same dirt road as it was a long time ago, and it seems that no one has traveled for a long time. Being in the ancient town gave me a sense of confusion through time and space, just like the fisherman who strayed into the paradise in the story of the Peach Blossom Spring, how similar the ancient town and the Taoyuan are.

Judging from the clothing of the residents of the ancient town, they seem to have been living in the period of the late Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China, and it would be reasonable to say that they were in a closed state fifty or sixty years ago, but now more than a hundred years later, the ancient town is still like that, which is a little incomprehensible. If you want to say that the location is remote, it can't be that no one has ever discovered this place for more than 100 years, right? And judging from the bell incident that Luo Yi told me, not only did someone find the ancient town, but also brought things out from the ancient town, but why is the ancient town still not known to the world? It is important to know that the state cannot allow a town that exists on its territory to exist independently of its jurisdiction.

Also, even if it has been closed for a hundred years, even though the way the language is expressed is a little different, but the same language, it is impossible for the townspeople not to understand what I say at all? But in the morning, whatever we said to the townspeople, they didn't seem to hear it, their expressions glazed over, they didn't say a word, and they looked at us with such strange eyes.

The doctor analyzed that the townspeople did not speak to us, either because of the language barrier, or because they were all deaf or mute. At the time, I thought he was joking, but now it seems that the latter is very likely, because the innkeeper and the old man of the coffin shop can communicate with us, and the possibility of language barrier is completely ruled out. However, the whole town is deaf and dumb, which sounds too frightening.

And the old man of the coffin shop also warned us not to talk to the townspeople, why is that?

In addition to this, the old man's other two warnings are equally elusive. We can't make any movement after the time, let alone leave the room, which is similar to the innkeeper warning us that we must put out the candle after the time, in this kind of place where there is no electricity, extinguishing the candle flame means that you can go to sleep quickly, and if you fall asleep, it is naturally impossible to make movement.

Because I witnessed the expulsion of corpses in the street last night, I can understand this advice somewhat. Judging from the old man's reaction when he heard me ask about the corpse, it seems that it is not accidental that someone in the ancient town drove the corpse in the middle of the night, and this taboo after the time is obvious, it must be that he is worried that someone will collide with the corpse, and the zombie is most taboo to be stimulated by the breath of the living, because that is likely to cause the corpse to get out of control, and my attack last night is a good example.

But I can't eat indiscriminately, which makes me incomprehensible.
