The village chief was tall and thin, and looked to be about forty or fifty years old.

When he came out of the house, he was wearing pajamas and pajamas, and he was wearing a coat, which should have just woken up.

"Oops...... Little Brother Lin, you're finally here! I'm still worried...... You can't deliver this goods to the village today! ”

As soon as the village chief came out, he stepped forward very enthusiastically and held Lin Zhe's hands tightly.

Lin Zhe smiled and said, "There are some things delayed on the road, in this big mountain, the signal is not good, and there is no way to call you to inform you......"

"It's okay, it's okay...... It's good to get to the village safely......" The village chief nodded again and again, as if he was more concerned about the safety of Lin Zhe and his party.

Lin Zhe smiled and said, "Village Chief, look...... Is it unloading now, or? ”

After all, at this time, it was already dark, and for Lin Zhe and the three of them, they had to wait for a while if they were to unload or something.

The village chief was very kind, shook his head and waved his hand, and said, "No, no...... Don't unload the goods first, you put them in the car...... The three of you, all the way away, must be tired after a day's drive to the mountains, right? Tonight...... Rest well, if there is anything, get up tomorrow morning and talk about it......"

"Okay, good, thank you village chief!"

When Xiao Wu and Ah Hao heard this, they were immediately very happy.

If you want to say tired, you are really tired, after running for a day on the mountain road, the car was bumpy and shaking, and the shock made their bodies and bones seem to be broken, and they were very uncomfortable.

At this time, if you can take a shower and sleep soundly, it is simply the happiest thing of the day.

"Xiao Zhang, Niu Er, Tie Dan, the three of you go back and rest first! Thank you for your hard work today, Brother Lin...... The three of you come with me, and I'll arrange accommodation for you......"

After the village chief arranged it, he took Lin Zhe and the three of them to the house.

The village chief's house has two floors, each with three rooms.

It is not difficult to make room for Lin Zhe, Xiao Wu and Ah Hao at all.

Entering the house, Xiao Wu couldn't help but stretch his waist, yawned, and said, "I can finally rest...... I'm exhausted......"

The village chief smiled slightly and said, "The three of you have worked hard today, I will take you to see the room, if you need anything, you can tell me......"

After that, he took the three of them and went up to the second floor.

"My family and I live on the first floor, and this second floor, on weekdays, is used to entertain some guests."

The village chief said, and took the three of them to the first room on the second floor.

It is a standard room with two beds and a bathroom.

The room was small, but simple and clean, and everything you should have.

Lin Zhe said: "Xiao Wu, Ah Hao, you can rest!" ”

"Good, good ......"

Xiao Wu and Ah Hao, tired for a day, no longer hesitated at the moment, and after a few polite words, they entered the house.

The village chief smiled, took Lin Zhe, and came to the second room.

The second room, apparently much larger than the first, and the interior decoration is slightly better.

The village chief looked kindly and said with a smile: "Little Brother Lin, you can rest in this room, right?" ”

"Okay." Lin Zhe said lightly and entered the room.

"By the way......" The village chief seemed to think of something, looked at Lin Zhe, hesitated for a moment, and said: "I heard Xiao Zhang say that your car had a problem halfway through the mountain road and was delayed for a few hours?" ”

Lin Zhe nodded and said, "Yes, the engine overheated and stalled...... It took a few hours of rest before I came. ”

"Oh......" The village chief nodded thoughtfully, and said, "You haven't encountered anything strange, have you?" ”

Lin Zhe suddenly felt a "chuckle" in his heart, looked at the village chief, and said, "No...... What's wrong? The village chief ......"

"No, no...... It's okay......" The village chief shook his head with a strange smile on his face.

Lin Zhe had some doubts in his heart at this moment, since he entered the village, whether it was Brother Zhang and the others, or the village chief, they seemed to be very concerned about whether Lin Zhe and his party had encountered strange things on the mountain road.

But under Lin Zhe's careful questioning, these people refused to say anything.

Could it be that there is really a problem?

Lin Zhe knew that if he asked again, he still couldn't ask anything, so he smiled and said casually: "By the way, village chief, you want five hundred catties of fruit this time, I don't know what to do?" Could it be ...... Is it a wedding banquet or something? ”

Five hundred catties of fruit, a lot of them.

Looking at the appearance of the village chief, the family does not look like they are in the fruit business.

Besides, if you buy so many fruits, if you can't eat them all in a short period of time, you will rot if you leave them away.

Looking at this Shimen Village, it is very backward, and I am afraid that there are few stores such as refrigerators and ice cellars.

When Lin Zhe asked this, he just asked casually, but ...... As soon as he spoke, the village chief's face changed slightly.

At this time, although the lights were dim, Lin Zhe was aware of this scene.

The village chief's face squeezed out a strange smile, as if he thought for a while, and then said: "This fruit is not for people to eat. ”

"Didn't you take it for people to eat?" Lin Zhe was stunned and taken aback.

Fruit is not eaten for use, but for what is it used for?

"In the village, there is a sacrificial event, once a year, this is not ...... The day is almost up...... These fruits were bought for sacrifice...... So, it's not for people to eat......"

After the village chief finished speaking, he sighed, as if there was something unspeakable.

"Oh......"

Lin Zhe listened to it and suddenly realized.

Sacrifice?

This......

Sounds like no problem.

However, the village chief's expression made Lin Zhe feel that there seemed to be something unusual here.

No wonder before, Lin Zhe told Brother Zhang that when the time came to inspect the goods, he would see which fruits were rotten and pick them out, but Brother Zhang looked indifferent.

Now, it's understandable.

Since the sacrificial fruit is not for people to eat, naturally there is no need to care about one or two rotten fruits.

But...... A sacrifice uses 500 catties of fruit at once, which is ...... It made Lin Zhe a little shocked.

"By the way, Little Brother Lin, there is one thing, I still want to trouble you again......" The village chief seemed to think of something, raised his head, looked at Lin Zhe, and said.

Lin Zhe came back to his senses and said, "You're polite, village chief, you just say it." ”

"That's the case, I want to trouble you, stay here for a day......" The village chief said with a serious face: "Tomorrow night, it will be the village's sacrificial activities...... There are so many fruits, it is difficult to transport, so I have to borrow them from your truck...... So, I want you to stay one more day and leave the day after tomorrow...... Don't worry, I'll pay you for one more day's wages, and I'll pay you ......."

In the village, every family is poor and poor, and they can't afford this kind of truck.

The village chief wanted to borrow Lin Zhe's truck to use it, which is understandable.

Lin Zhe smiled and said, "In that case, I'll call the store tomorrow morning to explain the situation...... I think it's no problem......"

"Okay, okay, then I'll trouble you!" The village chief looked grateful, and said tremblingly: "I won't disturb Little Brother Lin to rest......

As soon as he finished speaking, he turned around and left.

Lin Zhe stood there all over, and for a moment, his heart was even more confused, and he faintly felt a little uneasy.

I can't put it into words, but I always feel that something will happen.

This Shimen Village is so weird!
