9. The consent of the village head
However, what is completely different from the middle-aged man's resistance is the attitude of the old village chief in front of everyone. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
"Oh? Visiting us? It's quite interesting, if you can .... The old village chief couldn't stop muttering something, and Shen Haoyang could barely hear it at the beginning.
The old man's voice became smaller and smaller, and his speech was also slurred, so he couldn't hear it clearly.
It's just faint, as if I heard the words "ancestor worship", "marriage customs", "filling", "loss" and so on.
Shen Haoyang was familiar with these words when they were put forward individually, but when these words were to be strung together to form a discourse, he could only look confused.
I have the intention to figure out something from the words and deeds of the old village chief, but I can't understand it.
It's just that looking at the old village chief's appearance, it seems that he is thinking about something, and it is definitely related to Shen Haoyang and the others!
After a while, the old man's cloudy eyes turned twice in his eye sockets, and then re-fixed on the body of Zhao Xinyan, a girl in a long skirt, in front of him.
The old man leaned lightly on the wooden crutch, coughed tremblingly, and said, "Little girl, you can come in and live, and I welcome you on behalf of one hundred and seven families in our village." ”
"What ?!!!"
"Village Chief, you ...... How can you let these outsiders of unknown origin enter our village? The middle-aged man's eyes widened, as if he couldn't believe the old man's words, and he was stunned for a moment before he said loudly in shock.
"It doesn't matter, ahem, ahem, ahem... Who knows, the old village chief waved his old palm very open-mindedly, and said with a smile: "In our village, there have been no outsiders for a long time, and it is rare to have guests, how can it not be entertained?" ”
With that, he leaned on crutches with one hand, and at the same time motioned to the middle-aged woman who was supporting him next to him to help him turn.
Leaning sideways, half-arching his slightly hunched back, he beckoned to everyone, "Come, you come with the old man, and I will assign you a place to live." As he spoke, he took the lead and moved slowly.
Only... So easy to say yes?
Not only the middle-aged man couldn't think of it, but even Shen Haoyang and everyone else were the same.
They couldn't help but be stunned, a little confused, the tone of the old village chief's promise, ... This speed, it's inevitable that it's too fast, right?
The old village chief's words came a little suddenly, and even made Shen Haoyang wonder if this old village chief had other plans for himself and others, right?
However, looking at the old man's current enthusiasm, for a while, he didn't seem to be able to see any useful information.
However, Shen Haoyang did not give up because of this, a strange light flashed in the depths of his eyes, since this is the case, he wants to test this old man.
He had decided to find a way to figure out what exactly ...... In the village of the primitive inhabitants of this isolated island, what kind of crisis is hidden in the secret?
What do they need to face, what is the true face of the evil forces that exist on this isolated island?
Perhaps, everything can be found by looking for a solution!
"The danger in the mirror world is often easy to be invisible." This sentence was mentioned to him by Wu Tian when he first entered the mirror domain.
For this sentence, Shen Haoyang has written it down and has always kept it in his heart.
Because he also knows very well that if he wants to survive a terrorist incident, then he must learn to observe, be cautious, and find some kind of pattern, even if it is even the slightest unnatural.
Obviously, this time the invitation of the old village chief in front of him is a great "unnatural" place.
"Ahem, cough, the contemptible person is the head of this village, surnamed Li Mingji." A cough pulled Shen Haoyang's attention back.
At this moment, the old village chief was carefully supported by the middle-aged woman, and was leading the seven of them towards the direction where the house he was going to arrange was located, and at the same time, his mouth was still introducing.
"That, Village Chief Li." Zhao Xinyan frowned slightly, and took the first step to raise the question in her heart: "Why...... Would you be so willing to let us stay? ”
It can be seen that she seems to be a little nervous at this moment.
As she spoke, her eyes were still staring at the old village chief, always paying attention to his every move, for fear that he would suddenly burst out.
"Huh? Oh... Hahaha. Who knew that the village chief had a long white beard, smiled mysteriously at a few people, cracked the yellow plate teeth that looked crumbling, and said: "I am completely different from those uncivilized old antiques. ”
"You have also seen the changes on the island, the outer part, to be honest, it is really shocking, our village can't always be in this isolated island, don't be nervous, young people, you can live as long as you want."
So to explain ... There doesn't seem to be anything wrong with it.
Zhao Xinyan nodded, silently took two steps back, and did not continue to ask, but from the expression on her face, Shen Haoyang could still see that she was not satisfied with the old man's answer.
Of course, Shen Haoyang also did not agree with the old man's answer!
For the old man, he still maintained a skeptical and cautious attitude, and for a moment, he didn't dare to relax too much.
In this way, a few people, under the guidance of the old man, walked through the layers of tiled rooms, bypassed several rugged dirt lumps, and stepped on the clay mire road that had become sticky because of the rain last night.
Finally, I walked up to a row of streets specially paved with bluestone slabs, which were completely different from the previous road conditions.
At the end of this place is the place where the few of them are now going -- the village chief's house.
According to the words of the village chief, everyone went to his house as guests first, and by the way, discussed the distribution of the places where everyone lived.
Speaking of which, the basic elements of clusterism have also been "verified" here.
Looking at the completely different painting styles of the residents' houses in front of them and along the road, everyone was also slightly stunned.
The village chief's house looks magnificent, but it actually has the taste of an ancient Beijing residence, built on a brick and stone pedestal, larger than other houses, two stories high, and with a courtyard.
The exterior floor is all made of logs, unlike other houses, which are mostly ordinary cement houses, and the environment in the courtyard is closed and quiet.
As far as the eye can see, there are wings on both sides, and each room has a corridor, which is connected by a partition door.
