Chapter 0404 - Stranger Visits
Xu Shu was eating, and thought of Han Pingliang again, since he left, Han Pingliang did not appear again.
There was a "pop" sound, similar to the sound of a palm hitting the stone wall, from one end of the cave to Xu Shu's ears, Xu Shu reacted suddenly, looked up and looked in the direction where the sound came, there was only the cold stone wall, nothing, even if there was a ghost, it was impossible to escape Xu Shu's eyes.
Xu Shu glanced down at the ghost ornament, and the ghost ornament flashed with light, but it immediately dimmed, and the light disappeared.
Xu Shu frowned in confusion, these days, there are always similar sounds around them, but every time he chases over, there is nothing, not even a shadow.
"Brother, I feel like something has been following us." Xu Hong muttered to Xu Shu.
If you say this to the outside world, there will definitely be no problem, but saying it here can really scare people out of a cold sweat.
Xu Shu also felt that he had not said it, and at this moment Xu Hong also said so, obviously Xu Hong also heard this kind of voice, and he was not the first.
"It's okay, we don't dare to show up after us, at most a coward can't help us, otherwise we would have been in trouble a long time ago." Xu Shu comforted Xu Shu so much, trying to make her not have to be afraid.
But what kind of person is Xu Hong, ghosts can't cause fear to her at all, and the unknown makes people feel scared, but with her brother Xu Shu, who has protected her since she was a child, Xu Hong gradually relaxed, she thought, what if she can be with her brother Xu Shu, even if she dies!
Xu Hong's mood has always been very complicated, especially after falling into a predicament, there has always been a secret hidden in her heart, this secret began to belong only to Xu Yi, after telling her, it also increased her burden, she could have told Xu Shu very early, but when she saw Xu Shu and Su Ke's affection, she couldn't bear to see Xu Shu disappointed, so she kept it back.
After Xu Hong fell into difficulties, especially after several twists and turns, and she couldn't find any clues to leave, she began to worry about whether to tell Xu Shu the secret hidden in her heart.
Xu Shu also felt that Xu Hong was depressed, so he could only comfort her, accompany her, and love her as before, he didn't know the secret that Xu Hong was hiding.

In the evening, Mo Shang Village welcomed two strange old men, one of whom was holding a black cat in his arms.
Since the previous incident was choking enough, the villagers of Moshang Village were reluctant to receive outsiders, but in a small village deep in the mountains, poverty made them afraid, and even surpassed the ghosts.
When the old village chief learned that there were outsiders, he naturally wanted to go out of the village to see, and when the servants refused to enter the village to stay overnight, the village chief Mo appeared, and for the two, there was still room for discussion.
"Who are the two?" When the old village chief arrived at the head of the village, he saw two men in their sixties and asked with a frown.
The old village chief classified the people who entered the village, one was the regular archaeological team, and the other was the tomb robbers. But when he saw the two elderly people, he was puzzled for a while, no matter whether it was the archaeological team or Tufuzi, it was impossible to just be an old man for a while, and he had to bring some light people, after all, it was some hard work, just like an archaeological team led by Zhang Hongjun.
"My name is Xu Yi, and I'm here to investigate the folk customs." Xu Yi stretched out his hand to the old village chief, then turned his head to look at Tang Long beside him and introduced, "He is my colleague, Tang Long." โ
The old village chief was very sensitive, and when he heard Xu Yi's name, he suddenly thought of Xu Shu, and Xu Shu's team had been in the mountain for a week, but they had not returned.
Those who came from the Qianshan Mountain generally came back in two or three days, and it was impossible for them to come back after a week. The old village chief was already speculating about the relationship between Xu Yi and Xu Shu, maybe Xu Yi didn't come for Xu Shu.
The villagers all huddled together to look at the two strange guests, and their faces were not surprised and curious, but uneasy and nervous, because a strange thing happened in the village a few days ago, but in the face of these two, no one wanted to mention the unbelievable, even frightening thing.
The old village chief fell into thought, and was momentarily distracted.
"Old village chief, we want to spend one night in the village and learn about the customs by the way." Xu Yi saw that the old village chief was distracted, so he reminded him.
The old village chief came back to his senses at this time, and said in a squeaky voice: "Spend the night...... I'm afraid it's not convenient to stay overnight...... Our village these days...... It's really inconvenient. โ
The old village chief's desire to speak stopped again, which really aroused Xu Yi's curiosity, but he was even more convinced that he must stay tonight to see what happened and whether Xu Shu had been here.
Seeing the performance of the old village chief, and looking at the onlookers again, Xu Yi pulled the old village chief to the side a little bit, and directly stuffed the old village chief with 10,000 yuan.
This kind of stuffing money is not new in Mo Shang Village, every time someone comes in the past, he will stuff money, but most people know that they have no ability to earn this money at all, but it is the old man Mo Dou, who collects it almost every time, but the money each time is not as much as it is today.
Xu Yi directly stuffed the money to the village chief, he was the one who spoke, as long as he agreed, the problem of staying overnight would be solved.
The old village chief looked down at the money in his hand, and the pile was still the same as when the bank counter came out, and all the bundles were brand new hundred-yuan bills.
The old village chief turned his head and glanced at the onlookers of the villagers, he is not a greedy person, and he is also a person with ideas, Mo Shang Village is in the mountains, the road into the road has always been a dirt road, he has long wanted to get money to build a cement road, but it has not been successful, and even wants to develop tourism, anyway, there are still a lot of people who come, but when I think of the project, I have a headache, in addition to the mountains, there are only villages in the mountains, and it is impossible to dig out the ancient tombs for people to see.
Money is everything, and at this moment, the old village chief needed it, so he nodded immediately.
"It's okay to stay for one night, but you can't just walk around, otherwise I don't care if something happens." The old village chief collected the money and instructed that there was a lot of information, but no clues were revealed.
But the old village chief ignored that his words could easily arouse people's curiosity, and they had the urge to find out at any time.
Xu Yi couldn't refuse, at this moment, he had to agree to all the old village chief's requests, otherwise he would have to sleep in the wild tonight, with the earth as a bed, the starry sky as a quilt, and nature as a companion.
"No problem!" Xu Yi agreed decisively on the surface, but in his heart he was already thinking about how to find out what happened in this Mo Shang Village, and what happened.
In the eyes of everyone, Xu Yi and Tang Long followed the old village chief into the village, and everyone noticed the cat in Xu Yi's arms.
"Stay at my house tonight, and you have to leave early tomorrow morning." The old village chief didn't look back and led the way.
The old village chief's words seemed enthusiastic, but in fact, he wanted to put Xu Yi and Tang Long within the range of his surveillance, and did not allow them to leave his sight.
"So what's going on in the village?" Xu Yi muttered in his heart.
