Chapter 118: Goodbye to the old man in the deserted village
Just wanted to go in to explore the Yang Temple, the old man in the deserted village just opened the door and came out, how could there be such a coincidence?
Huang Yan and Lin Yupeng obviously thought so, the two glanced at each other, and then Chen Yinjun saw that on the top of the head of the old man in the deserted village, a straw rope that exuded a hazy black gas slowly hung down, and the straw rope at the end slowly coiled into a circle, and it looked like it was about to be put on the neck of the old man in the deserted village, as if it was the same routine as dealing with the dream ghost just now.
Chen Yinjun glanced back without a trace, and saw that Lin Yupeng was slowly squirming under his leather clothes, obviously Lin Yupeng had launched the ghost rope.
"Temptation?" The straw rope did not attack the old man in the deserted village at the first time, and it could be seen that Lin Yupeng was also testing the old man in the deserted village, a rope with a ghost hanging on top of his head, as long as he sensed it, no one would ignore the existence of such a straw rope that could attack him at any time.
At the same time, Huang Yan also quietly took off her sunglasses behind the eyes of the old man, and the ghost eyes like dead fish eyes were also fully prepared, once the old man in the deserted village had any abnormal movement, he could deflect the unfavorable factors for them at the first time, so as to create an opportunity for Lin Yupeng.
Chen Yinjun slowly retracted his gaze, since the two of them were ready, Chen Yinjun was not polite, the burn marks on his chest were slightly hot, and the pale yellow light mask spread rapidly, but it was only maintained around the few of them and did not spread as much as before.
The moment the domain was activated, Chen Yinjun had already blocked out the perception of the old man in the deserted village, and the domain light shrouded in him at this time was no different from the outside.
In order to find out the strangeness in the Yang Ancestral Hall, it is necessary to determine the identity of the old man, at least to determine whether he is a normal person or not.
A strange feeling filled Lin Yupeng's side, Lin Yupeng knew that Chen Yinjun had already used the domain, and without hesitation, the ghost rope that had been set into a circle instantly rushed downward, directly on the old man's neck and quickly tightened, and then the other end of the ghost rope seemed to be pulled by someone.
The old man in the deserted village was pulled off the ground at once, and at the same time, Huang Yan also turned around directly to look at the old man in the deserted village.
The vain tightening of the ghost rope and the force of the continuous upward pull, the old man was about to roll his eyes in an instant, his feet were constantly kicking, and his hands were tightly wrapped around his neck, completely like an ordinary person who was hanged.
The three of them are all weirdos, and they haven't felt any signs of supernatural things on the old man's body since the ghost suo attacked the old man in the deserted village for the first time, Huang Yan made a gesture, and Lin Yupeng controlled the ghost suo and slowly let go of the old man.
Chen Yinjun withdrew his own domain and at the same time stepped forward to support the old man's body, and asked pretending to be concerned: "Grandpa, what's wrong, why did you faint suddenly?" ”
These words can be regarded as revealing the old man's question just now, and Huang Yan and Lin Yupeng also withdrew their abilities.
The old man in the deserted village fell into Chen Yinjun's arms, and it took a long time for him to slow down, and he saw Chen Yinjun who was holding him clearly, and said, "Young man, what's wrong with me?" It was as if something was strangling my neck. ”
"I don't know, grandpa, I saw that you just came out and you looked like you were about to faint, so I hurriedly supported you, what's wrong with you?" Chen Yinjun asked rhetorically.
The old man hesitated a few times, but he couldn't say why, and finally had to blame his old age.
"It's just right, you're all here, I'm going to call you to dinner after I've finished cooking, come in quickly!" The old man who came back to his senses remembered his purpose and hurriedly said to Chen Yinjun and the others.
After speaking, he stood up and opened the door a little more on both sides, signaling Chen Yinjun and the three to come in quickly.
Under the sunlight, there was still a purple-black depression mark on the old man's neck, which was left by the ghost rope.
The three of them originally wanted to go into the Yang Temple to investigate, but now the old man invited them in to eat, which can be said to be in their arms, and the three of them did not shirk and responded directly.
"Then I'm sorry for you, I haven't eaten such pure farmhouse food for a long time." Chen Yinjun said as he walked in.
"Hahaha, you city kids are used to eating good things, and these things in the countryside are just fresh for a while." The old man said modestly, but the look on his face was very proud.
The three of them silently followed the old man and walked in the direction of the curb to the kitchen-like room in the back room.
It's just that when they passed by the mourning hall, the three of them were surprised to see the two copper rings on the door of the mourning hall, which were already locked at this time, and this kind of lock was not the kind of lock of modern technology, but a bit like the ancient wide lock in the TV series.
"Chen Bin, this old man has locked up this mourning hall!" Huang Yan took two steps faster and whispered in Chen Yinjun's ear.
Chen Yinjun nodded, and said softly: "See, it is estimated that Cheng Donghui broke in yesterday and attracted the attention of this old man, so he was locked today." ”
Although all this seems very reasonable, but Chen Yinjun and the three of them all know that there must be something strange in the mourning hall, but according to Chen Yinjun's plan, the mourning hall is the last to be explored, and the old man in the deserted village can roughly determine that he is just an ordinary person after the temptation just now, but why can he, an ordinary person, live peacefully for so long in a village full of ghosts? It's worth digging into.
After knowing the secret of surviving safely in this village, this will be a great guarantee for the three of them to explore the mourning hall in the future.
The three of them still sat down in the same position as they had eaten yesterday, while the old man in the deserted village turned around and brought out a few dishes in the steaming stove and placed them on the table, beckoning the three of them to move their chopsticks, otherwise it would not taste good if it was cold.
"Grandpa, you're the only one living here?" Eating with the dishes, Chen Yinjun pretended to ask casually, but his tone was accentuated in the words "one person".
The old man in the deserted village paused when he was about to pick up vegetables, and then said casually: "Young man, didn't you ask me this question before, the young people in the village have gone out to work outside to earn money, so I have left an old man to take care of here." ”
"Oh, yes, I've asked before, so maybe I've got it wrong." Chen Yinjun snorted and fooled over.
"That's right," the old man suddenly put down the dishes and chopsticks, glanced at Chen Yinjun and the three of them, and continued: "Don't you still have a young man?" Wearing the same clothes as the two of you, why didn't you see him come with you? ”
The old man pointed to the leather clothes worn by Huang Yan and Lin Yupeng, and he was actually talking about Cheng Donghui.
Huang Yan's heart was suddenly shocked, but her face was still unchanged, and she chewed food in her mouth and said: "He, a lazy pig, hasn't woken up yet!" ”
"How can I do that, why am I still sleeping when I am three poles old, no, I have to call him, at least I have to eat!" As he spoke, the old man in the deserted village was about to get up and go outside to call Cheng Donghui.
It's just that where is the existence of Cheng Donghui now, he has long been infected by dream ghosts, and even the ghost nails he controls have made wedding dresses for dream ghosts, not to mention the old people in the deserted village, even Chen Yinjun and the three of them don't know where Cheng Donghui went.
Lin Yupeng immediately stopped the old man in the deserted village and said: "Old man, don't worry about him, he basically won't wake up until the afternoon, you can eat yours, we also have some dry food for ourselves, he will eat when he wakes up, it won't get in the way!" ”
"That's it!" The old man in the deserted village sat down again when he was about to stand up, and since other people's companions had said so, he was not bored with himself, picked up the dishes and chopsticks and continued to eat.
The three of them were silent, and ate by themselves.
The lunch ended in a slightly eerie atmosphere.
Chen Yinjun was about to help the old man clean up the dishes and chopsticks, but the old man repeatedly shirked and said no, so he quickly cleaned up the dishes and chopsticks on the dining table and took them to another pot on the stove.
The lid of the pot was lifted, and a hot steam came out, and then the old man put the dishes and chopsticks in his hand, and it seemed that they were going to be scalded with boiling water.
"Well, that's?"
Chen Yinjun's eyes were sharp, and he had always felt that there would be some problems with this old man, so he had been looking at the old man, and at the moment when the old man lifted the lid of the pot, Chen Yinjun clearly saw a few relatively small dishes and chopsticks, and there were traces of unwashed vegetable stains on them.
Obviously, that's what children use.
Chen Yinjun instantly remembered the brand-new exercise book on the desktop he saw when he first entered the village, obviously, except for this old man, there were still other people here, at least there would be a child there, otherwise it would be impossible to explain everything Chen Yinjun saw.
Chen Yinjun glanced at Huang Yan and Lin Yupeng, and the two who were about to get up understood in seconds.
"Looks like Chen Bin, this kid has discovered something again?" Lin Yupeng said secretly.
The old man put the dishes and chopsticks into the pot and scalded the hot water, then covered the pot, and then brought the teapot and four teacups from the stove, and said, "Drink some tea, I grew it myself, it tastes good." ”
Chen Yinjun and the three of them took the teacup handed over by the old man in the deserted village, and after the old man sat down again, Chen Yinjun directly asked again: "Grandpa, you should not be the only one living in this village!" ”
Although Chen Yinjun was asking the old man in the deserted village, his tone was extremely affirmative.
The smile on the old man's face froze instantly, but the old man quickly recovered his face and said with a smile: "You kid, I just told you ......"
Before the old man could finish speaking, Chen Yinjun interrupted: "Grandpa, you said that you would come to clean the room I wanted to borrow when I first entered the village yesterday, in that case, you wouldn't know that there was a child's workbook left in the bedroom I borrowed." ”
The old man's face froze again, Chen Yinjun had been watching the old man's expression, and he was even more sure when he saw this.
"Just now, I saw that when you opened the pot, there were still children's dishes and chopsticks in it that had not been cleaned, since you said that you only lived alone, how could you still use children's dishes and chopsticks." Chen Yinjun said faintly.
The old man's face seemed to become even more ugly, but Chen Yinjun ignored him and continued: "These may not mean anything, but then I thought about it, there is one thing that is very strange? Grandpa, can you give me an analysis? ”
"What is it?" Lin Yupeng answered in a very atmospheric manner.
Chen Yinjun said: "When we entered the village, we said that there was a landslide outside, so we had to wait for rescue, and we needed to borrow your place here to rest, you were not surprised at the time and easily believed our words, and now I think back as if you were sure that we couldn't get out." ”
"Can you tell me?" Chen Yinjun looked at the increasingly dark face of the old man in the deserted village, and said directly.
After listening to Chen Yinjun's words, the old man in the deserted village originally straightened his waist and instantly stiffened, the old man did not speak, but took out a hookah from under the stove, lit it and took a deep breath, only to hear the old man say slowly: "I didn't expect you to see it, to be honest, when I opened the door and saw you just now, I was surprised, you were not killed by ghosts!" ”
"Ghost!"
Hearing this, the three of them immediately sat up straight, and sure enough, the old man living in this strange village knew that there were ghosts in his village.
"What the hell is going on in this village?" Huang Yan said in a deep voice.
The old man took another deep puff of his cigarette before he spoke slowly!
