Huahai Village can be said to be the most popular tourist attraction in Linghai City, even if it is placed in the province, it is one of the best, such a high popularity naturally brings a lot of economy to the local area.

The villagers who live here have also renovated their homes into exquisite homestays, which are often full even in the off-season.

But with the lockdown of Huahai Village due to bad events, the villagers here have no income for a month, and they are worried about the burden all day long.

The proprietress had seen three well-dressed foreigners early on, risking the possibility of being discovered by the investigators to lead them into their homestay.

However, the proprietress who seemed gentle on the outside began to ask for money as soon as she led everyone into the house.

"During this special period, I want to take you in, but I need to bear the risk of being discovered by the city bureau.

Once exposed, not only will the B&B not be able to open, but I may also go to jail for it, and the accommodation cost will naturally be higher than usual. Of course, I will also provide you with the best local food and guide service.

I know very well what the working hours of this group of people in the city are and can even take you to the sea when they leave the beach.

2000 a day, pay money first and then stay in the hotel. ”

William had already run out of money, and just as he was about to leave directly, Fang Fang suddenly took out a wad of banknotes from his pocket and stuffed it into the hands of the proprietress, and one was not bad.

The proprietress immediately smiled and quickly arranged a room for everyone.

"I'll come to the second floor for dinner later, don't go out during the day, and I can take you out for a walk when this group of pesky investigators change shifts late at night."

Everyone came to the guest room on the second floor, which was still a two-bedroom and one-living room structure.

The first question William asked when he closed the door was, "Fangfang, where did you get your money?" ”

"Huh? Money is a very important thing, and I know you don't have much money left, so since we ate fried chicken, I've been collecting the ownerless money that has been left in every corner.

Just now, when the driver confirmed that he was no longer saved, I also transferred his money. ”

William was really a little admired, and at the same time remembered that there was something that needed to be explained seriously.

"How much do you have left?"

"There are more than three thousand."

"Fangfang, Catherine and I shouldn't be staying here for long. In the unlikely event that we leave, you should be able to live alone, right? ”

When hearing these words, Fang Fang did not express any reluctance, not even a trace of emotional fluctuations.

"I know this, my mother used to teach me that I must learn to be grateful.

Through your chats and various contacts along the way, I also probably know that you are not [people] of this world. The reason why I have been there for you to help me is just to thank you for saving me from the hospital.

Once you leave, I owe nothing.

When the time comes, I will live a good life alone, and I will have the opportunity to go back and see my parents again, and strive to return to normal life. ”

William couldn't help but shake his head when he heard this, his worries seemed completely unnecessary.

At this time, Catherine was already standing on the open-air balcony of the guest room, with a panoramic view of Huahai Village. William was also a little worried that he would be discovered by the investigators patrolling below, so he immediately followed.

As soon as he stepped onto the balcony, William's eyes were completely attracted by the beautiful scenery in front of him.

"This! No wonder it's the number one attraction in the city, it's also so beautiful. ”

The surface of the ocean on the coast and within a kilometer is full of blue petals, which perfectly blend with the blue water, and with the fog on the sea, it can be described as hazy and elegant, like a dream, as if you are in a fairyland.

The few investigators were salvaging the car at the scene of the incident, and they didn't have time to observe the B&B building behind them, let alone notice the two people upstairs.

"Catherine, do you see something wrong?"

"There are a lot of questions, okay~ What a heavy corpse smell, my tentacle suction cup can clearly capture the breath produced by the fermentation of putrid substances, and with the smell of these flowers, it is really disgusting.

I'm afraid that before the lockdown of the village, people often disappeared here, right? It's just that it didn't get out for some reason.

We've really come to the right place~ This sea area is similar to my attributes, maybe it can really fill the dream. ”

"Can you sense something evil in the sea?"

"All I could feel was the corpse...... There may be a 'very large' corpse sunk at the bottom of the sea, constantly being sacrificed by humans, but it is not known what it is.

Let's go find the shrine, I want to see what the villagers here are worshipping in. ”

"Don't rush, take your time~ Once exposed, we will be targeted by both sides at the same time, starting from the boss's house."

"What I mean is to see where the shrine in the proprietress is and what it looks like, even if it's just a replica, it's useful."

"It's good to ask when you eat, there's no need to sneak around to find it, which will make it even more troublesome to arouse the suspicion of local villagers."

Soon it was lunchtime, and the proprietress cooked a table full of good dishes, mainly seafood, and even a lot of undercooked raw and pickled seafood.

Catherine had no scruples, and ate happily,

William is allergic to seafood and only eats some vegetables on the ground.

As for the shrine of the proprietress at all, there is no need to look for it, it is placed here in the restaurant. The entire shrine is made of marble, with fine workmanship, inlaid with petals and reliefs of the structure of the waves, and it can be seen that a lot of money was spent.

The idol on it is a plump, even obese woman, sitting on a lotus flower, dressed in white and resembling a 'Guanyin'.

But the face of the idol is carved with dense flowers, covering the whole face,

The left hand is knotted with a lotus mudra,

In his right hand, he holds a white jade bottle and waves flow out of it.

"What is this?"

"This is the Mother of the Buddha in the Sea of Flowers, and our village is named after her. It is rumored that thousands of years ago, when the first villagers discovered this place, there was already such a scene of flowers.

Thanks to the protection given by the Buddha's mother, the village has flourished since its establishment, and even now it is the best tourist attraction in Linghai City, attracting a large number of tourists every year. ”

"Someone discovered such a wonderland thousands of years ago? Under the protection of the gods, it has grown rapidly, but now it is still a village, and the population does not seem to be very large...... It doesn't make sense.

If it is really as you said, you should have become a port capital a long time ago, far beyond the current Linghai City. ”

"This is the rule set by the Mother of the Flower Sea Buddha, which requires us to manage this area with a village system.

Seeing that you seem to be interested, I will talk about it and pass the time for some time.

1. According to Guanyin's requirements, the total population of the village needs to be maintained within a range, and no too much change can occur, and any extra children will be sent out until there is a gap in the population.

2. The villagers who live here are also not allowed to leave the village for a long time, otherwise they will be punished by the Buddha Mother.

3. The villagers need to strictly follow the management of the village chief, and every ten years there must be a 'village chief' election, and we will nominate five people from within us, and they will be trapped in bamboo baskets and sunk to the bottom of the sea.

The four who were not selected will soon come to the surface,

The chosen 'village chief' will soak in the sea for seven days and seven nights, and then he will return from the shore.

The new village chief will also bring with him 'new requirements' for Kannon, such as changes to the flow of the ritual or adjustments to the position of the main deity.

4. Every family needs to place a statue of the Buddha Mother of the Sea of Flowers, which is built by the village chief himself, although it is not as good as the statue of the main god, it also has some divine power, which can protect us from disease, theft, and prosperous business. ”

William hurriedly took over, "The main god idol? When we went here, we heard some rumors that it seems that some tourists approached the statue of the main god without permission and attracted divine punishment, which eventually led to the death of a large number of people, including many villagers? ”

"No...... You are mistaken! Those who disturb Mother Buddha do deserve to die.

But the people of the village were not implicated, but they took the initiative to throw themselves into the sea to ask for the forgiveness of the Buddha Mother and forgive them for their poor guarding.

After they took the initiative to dedicate themselves to appease the anger of the Buddha Mother, the descendants of the villagers living in the big city immediately rushed back to fill the number, and we were not affected too much. ”

"What about the investigators in the city? Will they affect Mother Buddha here? ”

When this question was mentioned, the proprietress immediately turned serious and even hateful.

Moreover, William also observed that the proprietress seemed to have two layers of eyelids, and there seemed to be more saliva in her mouth than ordinary people during conversation...... Or seawater.

"Sooner or later, these guys who dare to offend the Buddha's mother will die one after another, and if it weren't for the village chief's warning us not to intervene in advance, this group of investigators would have died a long time ago."

The excited proprietress began to leak slightly, and even the sound of water droplets could be heard clearly, and a puddle of sea water slowly piled up under her.
