The rest of the village, as long as they were at home, would leave the door open.

Only Yuan Guisheng's home, the door has been closed, and it is impossible to tell whether he is at home or not.

Chi Baiyi asked Qin Yuanyao to stand in the distance with Chi Cheese, and went over to knock on the door.

Chi Cheese stared nervously at her dad.

If the person wearing the mask was the murderer who set fire to their family ten years later, then this person would be quite dangerous!

And the people in the village don't have a good opinion of this person.

Dad must be safe and not get hurt!

Chi Baiyi raised his hand and knocked on the door a few times, and the sound of shoes stepping on the ground and a male voice came from inside.

"Who-"

Ji Baiyi didn't answer and continued to knock on the door.

"Who the hell—" The man's voice was a little annoyed, and he opened the door from the inside.

Yuan Guisheng is in his thirties, with an ordinary appearance and average height.

He looked at the awe-inspiring man in front of him and asked strangely, "Who are you?" What's the matter? ”

"Are you Yuan Guisheng?" Chi Baiyi asked.

Yuan Guisheng looked at him vigilantly, did not answer, but asked rhetorically: "What's the matter with you?" ”

Chi Baiyi smiled lightly: "Do you have a white mask?" My daughter saw you wearing that mask at the market and was very interested and wanted one, and wanted to ask you where you bought the mask. ”

Only then did Yuan Guisheng notice the woman and the child in the distance.

His expression was a little lighter: "You are outsiders? ”

"Yes." Chi Baiyi bowed: "We're here to participate in the show." ”

Yuan Guisheng also heard that there were celebrities in the next village to participate in the show.

He completely let down his vigilance, and warmly entertained Chi Baiyi and them.

He moved three chairs out of the house and let Chi Baiyi sit on them.

Then he went back into the house and took the mask out.

"You're talking about this mask."

Chi Cheese nodded: "Yes!" ”

But when Yuan Guisheng handed her the mask, she was stunned again.

This mask must have been the one she had seen at the bazaar that day.

However, this mask was not the same as the one she saw in the fire ten years later.

She remembered that the mask she had seen in the fire had a red dot in the middle of its eyebrows. But there is no red dot in the middle of the eyebrows of this mask.

Yuan Guisheng saw her stunned little expression and asked, "Isn't this mask?" ”

Chi Cheese pointed to the middle of the mask's eyebrows, and asked rawly, "Aren't there any red dots here?" ”

Her question instead stopped Yuan Shenggui.

He said suspiciously, "There are no red dots." ”

"Uncle, do you have any other masks?"

"No, only this one. This mask was given to me by someone else. Yuan Guisheng said.

Chi Cheese blinked in a daze: "Who sent it?" ”

"A few months ago, I went to the nearby mountains to pick wild fruits and met an outsider who had been bitten on the leg by a wild boar. I took him back to the village and asked the village doctor from the next village, Anfeng Village, to treat his leg injury. The man lived in my house for a while. This mask is what he made. ”

Pool cheese froze again.

It turns out that this mask was not bought, but made?

If this mask is made, it is not sold on the market.

So, was the mask with the red dot on the center of the brow she saw in the fire ten years later also made by the man whose leg was bitten by a wild boar?

"What's the name of the person making this mask?" Pool Cheese asked, "Does he still live in your house?" ”

"His surname is Zhao, let me call him Lao Zhao, what is the specific name, he didn't tell me. After his leg injury was healed, he left, and he was no longer at my house. ”

"Where did he go?" Pool cheese asked.

"He didn't tell me about that, he just said he was going home." Yuan Guisheng smiled: "Little friend, why are you so interested in him?" ”

Chi Cheese raised his little face and smiled innocently: "Because he is very powerful, he can make such a beautiful mask." ”

Yuan Guisheng smiled: "Do you think this mask is good-looking?" Many people think this mask is strange and scary, and you are not afraid of a little doll, and you think it looks good. ”

"Hmm......" Chi Cheese's chubby little hand held the mask and looked at it carefully: "Although it looks a little strange, it is also strange and beautiful." ”

Yuan Guisheng laughed: "Since you think it's good-looking and like it, my uncle will give it to you." ”

Chi Cheese's eyes widened in surprise, and he thanked him softly: "Thank you, uncle." ”

"But, uncle, the people in the village say that you often wear this mask and dangle around, and you give me the mask, will you be sad and unaccustomed?" Pool cheese asked sincerely.

Yuan Guisheng laughed and said: "Do they still tell you that I am a strange person, and this thing looks very terrifying and unlucky?" ”

Chi Cheese nodded heavily: "Yes! They also said that you didn't marry a daughter-in-law, and you were an old bachelor. ”

Yuan Guisheng: "......"

The smile on Yuan Guisheng's face froze.

Child, there is no need to paraphrase such sincere words.

"Although this mask looks a little scary, Lao Zhao told me that he made a mask in the shape of Cheng Huang. He said that Chenghuang is a mythical horse in ancient mythology, representing health and longevity. That's why he gave me this mask, hoping that I would live a long and healthy life. Yuan Guisheng said.

"Then if you give me the mask now, won't you be able to live a long and healthy life?" Pool cheese asked innocently.

Yuan Guisheng's expression suddenly became sad, and he sighed lightly: "It's just me, what does it matter if I don't live long." ”

Pool cheese didn't understand the "huh? He tilted his head to look at him.

Yuan Guisheng didn't want to bring negative emotions to the milk doll, which was only a few years old, and smiled positively: "No." When this mask was given to me, I had already received the blessing of health and longevity. Whether I keep the mask or give it away, the blessings of health and longevity will be there. ”

Pool Cheese nodded half-knowingly.

Chi Baiyi and Qin Yuanyao both found that this person named Yuan Guisheng was quite different from him in the village.

He is not strange, he speaks logically and methodically, and is a bit cultured, unlike most people in the village.

"Do you live alone?" Qin Yuanyao asked.

Yuan Guisheng's expression darkened: "Yes." My dad passed away a few years ago. Last year, my mom got sick and passed away. I had been working outside the home, but because my mom was sick, I came back. After dealing with my mother's funeral, I never went out. ”

"I know what the people in the village are saying about me. I'm not to blame...... No, I can also say that I have a quirky personality. I'm not very good at dealing with people in the village, they like to ask questions too much, and I can't resist it, so I rarely talk to them. ”

"The reason why I like to hang around the village wearing a mask is because I know they don't like it. They don't like masks, so they won't talk to me, and I'll be able to relax. ”
