Chapter 67: Crooked Strikes
Seeing that everyone had incomprehensible expressions, I also felt a little helpless.
It's not that I'm trying to hide something about the little girl in red, but since no one can see her except me, there must be a reason.
The so-called hearing is false, seeing is believing, not to mention whether people will believe it if I tell the matter, even if I believe it, it will only increase the fear in everyone's hearts.
In that case, I might as well not talk about it.
"You guys just think I'm talking nonsense because I'm crazy, and I think it's the right thing to do this way anyway." I simply pretended to be stupid and said again.
The other four still looked at each other, neither of them standing up against my words, nor one of them nodding in agreement, just leaving me aside, and making me feel like a psychopath.
"Zhang Sansan, it's not that we don't believe you, but since you say so, you have to come up with a convincing reason. This is no child's play, and if you go in the wrong direction, it is likely to have unpredictable consequences. Li Huiyan's eyes flashed and said to me.
"Yes, rice cakes, why did you go this way, you have to tell a reason." Xiao Yue also agreed.
"Brother San, if you have any secrets, we can be regarded as living and dying together, and we are not outsiders, right?" Yang Baichuan also followed suit and said.
Only Yang Yuqing didn't speak, but looking at her appearance, she was obviously on the same front as Yang Baichuan, and what Yang Baichuan said was equivalent to what she said.
The words of the crowd completely put me in a dilemma, and I hesitated to say or not to say anything about the little girl in red.
At that moment, I felt the little guy who had been sleeping on top of my head turn over, and a bold idea suddenly rose from my mind.
I stretched out my hand and grabbed the ghost-faced spider that wanted to continue to sleep in the palm of my hand, and immediately spread my palm after catching it.
Everyone looked at me with puzzled expressions, as if they didn't understand what kind of medicine was sold in my gourd.
"It was the Ghostface Spider who told me to go this way." After spreading out my palms, I simply didn't do anything and said to everyone.
"Rice cake, you fool people, I haven't even heard it speak." Xiao Yue was the first to jump out and object, which made me hate it so much.
Why didn't this guy know how to help his own people, and he ran out to make trouble.
What surprised me a little was that except for Xiao Yue, the other three, including Li Huiyan, all chose to remain silent.
I felt a little weak in my heart, could it be that they thought what I said was unreliable, so they simply ignored me.
However, what happened next can be described as a twist and turn, and I had no idea that my whimsical nonsense would be crooked and everyone would believe what I said.
"Brother Three, is it really the ghost-faced spider who showed you the way?" Yang Baichuan was the first to ask.
"Hmm." I didn't blush and my heart didn't beat, I nodded and said.
"If it's the Ghost-Faced Spider showing the way, that makes sense." Yang Baichuan pondered for a moment and said with some emotion.
"What?" This time it was my turn to be dumbfounded, my lie that could be exposed casually actually made Yang Baichuan believe it?
I felt a little incredible. Could it be that Yang Baichuan wanted to save me some face, so he was kind enough not to demolish me?
"Indeed, if the ghost-faced spider is the guide, it makes sense." Following Yang Baichuan, Li Huiyan also nodded and said.
This time I was completely confused, what the hell are these two people trying to do, should they join forces to fool me.
But it's not right to think about it, Li Huiyan and Yang Baichuan haven't been familiar to that extent, and even if you want to talk about partnership, it should be Li Huiyan and me who are partnering.
Putting aside so many days of friendship, Li Huiyan is still my nominal girlfriend, although it is likely to be just something she said casually, but after all, she said it.
"Brother Three, you must not know much about ghost-faced spiders, right?" Yang Baichuan didn't get straight to the point, but asked me an ambiguous question.
"yes, what's wrong?" I said.
"Then it's no wonder." Yang Baichuan nodded and continued: "Since you know something about the ghost-faced spider, you must also know that the ghost-faced spider only grows in the desert. In ancient times, the ancestors of a small desert country worshipped it as a god, but have you ever thought about it, the ghost-faced spider looks so terrifying, ordinary people are afraid to retreat when they see it, why can it still be worshiped as a god? ”
"No, never thought about it." I replied honestly.
I really didn't think about this question, when Li Huiyan said this before, I just listened to her words as an anecdote, and I never thought about why such a terrifying-looking ghost-faced spider would be worshiped as a god.
It can't be that the people in that small desert country in ancient times were all perverts, all of them were aesthetically deformed?
"I was negligent on my part, I didn't think about it for a while, so I didn't tell you." Li Huiyan said on the side, seemingly a little embarrassed.
"Brother Baichuan, don't sell it, let's talk about what's going on." Yang Baichuan's words have completely aroused the curiosity in my heart, and I said impatiently.
In fact, it seems to me that most of the rulers of ancient times adopted a policy of foolishness and deception towards their people. The people of that small desert country worship the ghost-faced spider as a god, and it is very likely that it also looks terrifying, which can deter the people.
"Okay, then I'm not going to sell it. In fact, in addition to their terrifying appearance, ghost-faced spiders also have a very special ability, that is, they can clearly distinguish their direction in the desert. ”
"No matter how bad the weather in the desert is, they are not wrong in their ability to discern their direction, which is better than the navigators of our modern society. After all, the navigator will still run out of power, and it will fail in some extremely harsh places. ”
"Brother San, think about it, if those people who live in the desert carry a ghost-faced spider with them when they are hurrying in the endless desert, they will not lose their way even if they encounter the weather that is raging with wind and sand, how incredible it is in an ancient society without navigation instruments."
"So, it's because of this special ability that the ghost-faced spider is worshiped as a god by the people of that small desert country, not because of its appearance?" After listening to what Yang Baichuan said, no matter how stupid and stupid I was, I could already guess what he wanted to express, and I couldn't help but say.
"Yes, walking in the desert, the ghost-faced spider that can discern the direction can undoubtedly save the lives of many lost people, so it is only natural that it is worshipped as a god. Of course, it is not excluded that its terrifying appearance is also one of the reasons. Yang Baichuan nodded and said.
"Okay, I got it." I said with a wry smile.
A few minutes ago, I had no idea that a lie I had inadvertently told in order to conceal the existence of the little girl in red would be able to convince everyone completely.
I turned my head to look at the others, except for Xiao Yue's wide-eyed eyes and a little stunned, Yang Yuqing and Li Huiyan all had indifferent expressions, obviously they all knew these things.
Since the ghost-faced spider has such a special ability, it has to be put to use, and whoever let this little guy build a nest on my head, now let it help with something as if it was paying the rent.
I secretly guessed that the Yang family brothers and sisters and Li Huiyan all knew about this special ability of the ghost-faced spider, and they should not have thought of it for a while just now, otherwise they should have proposed to use the ghost-faced spider to lead the way.
However, another problem lay ahead of me.
Although I know that the ghost-faced spider has a special ability to discern directions, but the ghost-faced spider told me the direction just casually, what should I do if something similar happens to me again and the little girl in red disappears?
Looking at the ghost-faced spider lying asleep in the palm of my hand, I was not sure that it would be obedient.
"Forget it, let's take one step at a time." I muttered softly.
"Brother Three, what did you say?" Yang Baichuan asked.
"Oh, nothing, I mean, now that we've got the direction in place, let's go." I said casually.
Immediately, the crowd began to hurry again.
The brothers and sisters of the Yang family are at the forefront, and the Yang family has been the emperor for generations.
Li Huiyan and Xiao Yue walked in the middle, and because I was preoccupied, I was still thinking about how to make the little guy obedient if I encountered this kind of thing again for a while, but I fell in the end.
There was no word along the way, and only a chaotic footstep could be heard in the graveyard. Fortunately, along the way, we passed through some separate graveyards, and we didn't encounter the kind of thing that requires us to choose several graves.
After thinking about it for a long time, I still couldn't figure out how to make the little one obedient.
I raised my head and happened to see Li Huiyan walking side by side with Xiao Yue, so I quickly took a few steps forward and patted her on the back gently.
"Zhang Sansan, is there something wrong?" Li Huiyan turned her head with a puzzled look and asked.
"That...... Borrow a step to speak. I was a little embarrassed and whispered.
"Hey, rice cake, what do you want to whisper to Sister Lizi? There are a lot of light bulbs here. Xiao Yue turned around and said with a wicked smile.
Looking at Xiao Yue's very obscene evil smile, I was a little speechless, this guy wouldn't want to be serious.
Li Huiyan hesitated for a moment, but finally slowed down, and Xiao Yue thought that the two of us were going to say something quietly, and continued to walk forward with great interest, and did not stay.
"Say whatever you want." When Li Huiyan and I were more than two feet away from Xiao Yue, who was walking last, Li Huiyan asked.
Li Huiyan obviously understood that what I wanted to say did not want to be heard by others, so she spoke in a very small voice.
"That...... I'm just thinking if there's any way I can communicate with the ghost-faced spider, at least let me know what some of its actions are trying to convey. I thought about it and said.
