When the crowd had approached—or pretended to be stubborn—they saw the slumped figures turning toward them.

These were a few old men who looked very old, their wrinkled skin like the bark of a dead tree, crawling with ugly marks, and covered with patches, and their skin was dark and brown at the same time, but their faces were strangely pale.

The flamingo sighed slightly helplessly, and then showed a frightened and frightened look as if he was forced to helplessly, trembling slightly, and hid behind Zhou Ke'er and Duan Shuiliu.

"Zhou Keer, flamingo, Duan Shuiliu, right? We've been waiting for you for a long time. The people in your family told us that you might not be able to go up for a while while with such a heavy rain, so it is better to take shelter in our village first, and if the rain does not stop, you can stay overnight. ”

The old man at the head squinted and smiled with his mouth open, all the furrows on his face shrunk, and the rain mixed with muddy water flowed down his head and ran down the ravines on his face.

But he doesn't seem to feel anything about it, and it's a bit of a madness.

Hearing this, Zhou Keer subconsciously glanced at the flamingo, and saw that the flamingo suddenly glanced at him, and then took out his mobile phone as if he wanted to say something.

Zhou Ke'er immediately understood what the flamingo meant, so she stopped the flamingo quietly, shook her head at her, and signaled not to tell the news she had just received.

Seeing this, Flamingo obediently took back her phone - the truth is that Flamingo herself didn't want to talk about it at all, but the problem was that she had to do it because of her personality, so she could only hope that someone else could stop her before she could say it.

This kind of setting of this mod is really troublesome.

"Old man, on this mountain... Isn't there something dirty?! Just now, an old man kindly said that he drove us up, but halfway through the car, I saw that he suddenly turned into a paper man... We're scared, what's going on? ”

Duan Shuiliu's eyes flashed, and then he hurriedly asked with an anxious and straightforward look.

He is actually a little clever here, according to his character design with the attribute of "straightforward and fast-talking", plus he has just heard what the flamingo said, it is obviously not in line with the personality not to ask at this time. But now he replaced it with another urgent thing that needed to be asked, after all, it was also a reasonable choice to ask those paper figures what was going on in a hurry.

"Ride? Born young, are you drenched in the rain? You can't let cars drive up this mountain road. All those who want to go up the mountain do so on the road, otherwise you elders don't need to say that they are afraid that it will be difficult for you to go up in the rain, so they will let you spend the night here first. ”

The old man shook his head, his face still squinting, and the wrinkles of the ravines stretched or locked, making it impossible to see what his expression was.

Duan Shuiliu opened his mouth, as if he wanted to continue to say something, but Zhou Ke'er had already taken the opportunity to take the play immediately, quietly reached out and pulled Duan Shuiliu's sleeve, and then shook his head at him, signaling not to say any more.

Although Duan Shuiliu showed a very puzzled look on the surface, he still obediently did not continue to ask.

"So that's the case, maybe it's true that we're a little unconscious, we've just been drenched in the rain and we're really groggy, and now it's so uncomfortable to get soaked. I don't know the old man, can you take us to take a shower and change our clothes first? Thank you very much. ”

Zhou Ke'er nodded at them and said, then glanced at the flamingo and Duan Shuiliu - speaking of which, except for the backpack on the seat when he got out of the car just now, the other two seemed to have forgotten about it at all - and judging from the CG at the beginning of the film, everyone's suitcases were actually placed in the back seat of the car...

In other words, except for the backpack that Zhou Keer carried, there may be a change of clothes, although it is not very likely, but the other two must not have it.

"It's okay, it's okay, the people who live on this mountain are all family. Come, I'll take you to my house. ”

The old man waved his hand, then turned and walked towards a certain house.

The remaining two old men didn't say a word from beginning to end, and they had been staring at Zhou Ke'er and the three of them tightly for a long time, and now they retracted their gaze, left without saying anything, and walked towards the other houses.

It looks weird.

Soon, after all, after a few steps, Zhou Ke'er and the three followed the old man to his house.

It was an old wooden house, and it was very damp on a rainy day, and I don't know what was going on, and it had a faint smell similar to a rancid smell.

Although the overall volume of the house does not look large from the outside, it may be because the internal facilities are really too scarce, but it looks empty and unpopular.

"That's... Uncle, may I ask, when did the elders of our family come here and ask you to let us stay here temporarily? I remember it had only been raining for a long time. ”

Zhou Ke'er looked around the furnishings in the house, and asked casually: "This rain is getting heavier and heavier, I'm afraid that they will encounter some accidents halfway, this is our fault." If it's not too late, we might be able to catch up with them if we go up now. ”

Although he followed the old man to the house without any resistance, Zhou Ke'er really didn't plan to stay here.

After all, I don't know if this village can stop the paper people, although they walked relatively fast just now, and they did throw off those paper people for a distance, but it is estimated that it will only take another four or five minutes at most to come here.

Isn't it cerebral palsy that Kerr was still here that week? The three of them just haven't talked about the paper figure with the old man now, and they haven't really forgotten about it...

"Oh, you said they didn't come."

The old man reacted before replying, but did not look back, but made a little noise at the stove where the rice was cooking.

"They didn't come down? So how did they tell you we were coming? ”

Duan Shui showed a straightforward look, and blurted out a question without hesitation.

"We have a phone too."

The old man took out a very old-looking mobile phone from his pocket, a bit like PHS.

"But there's no signal on the mountain?"

The flamingo couldn't help but ask "confusedly" - although the tone was still weird and rigid.

"The signal on the mountain is not good, maybe it's raining, so there is no signal at this time."

The old man replied naturally.

"Isn't that right? If there is no signal when it rains, then why did our elders call you before it rains, saying that it is going to rain now, and we haven't passed through you yet... Do they still do fortune telling? ”

Zhou Ke'er also asked with a very innocent expression.

The old man stopped talking for a while.

The atmosphere fell silent all at once.
