"This is Aman, you will stay at her house tonight."

Pu Jia introduced.

This sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl looks relatively simple, and when she saw Qiao Du and Qianyun, she was a little cowardly, and she didn't dare to look at the two.

"Thank you, village chief."

Qiao Du thanked the village chief and greeted Aman again.

The girl's eyes wandered, and she did not respond, only half a step back.

"Aman is more afraid of life, just tell her directly if you have something."

Pu Jia said.

"Oh!"

Qiao Du nodded vigorously.

"This, this way."

Aman made a mosquito-like snort, then stepped forward and led the two of them forward a little timidly.

Qiao Du counted casually, there were only about forty or fifty rooms in this village, and there might be less than two hundred people when it was full, as a village that existed three thousand six hundred years ago, it was really a bit cold.

Among the houses, some are obviously old, some are new, it seems that the houses here have been renovated, otherwise what houses have been left here for 3,600 years, they should have become weathered cultural relics.

"Do you know who anyone here is going to die?"

Qiao Du asked.

He has no intention of using the [Dating Manual] to set up information for the time being, mainly to prevent this little girl from thinking anything about herself, if she climbs into Qiao Dui's bed in the middle of the night, it will not be appropriate.

"Yes, it's the old man in the south of the village."

Aman replied in a wooden voice.

She gave Qiao Du the feeling that she was the kind of child in a poor area on TV, although she was full of curiosity about the outside world, she also had low self-esteem and autism, and she didn't dare to show herself too much.

"So, Old Man Gao is not dead yet?"

Qiao Du remembered Pu Jia's previous words, which meant that someone was going to die, not that someone was already dead, and although he was a little curious about how the people here knew that their lives were coming to an end, that wasn't the point right now.

"Well, he, he's supposed to die tonight."

Aman replied, although the conversation between the two people is a bit outrageous, but considering that this is Penglai, it is not so outrageous.

"We want to say hello to Old Man Gao, do you think you can take us there?"

Qiao Du said immediately.

Aman obviously didn't expect Qiao Du to be so direct, she hesitated for a moment before nodding slowly.

Along the road, they passed through two fields, and there seemed to be something planted in the paddy fields, and when Qiao Du saw them, those seedlings were trembling slightly in the wind, as if they were waving hands.

There was a courtyard in the house in the south of the village, and Qiao Du saw that there was a stone lion at the gate of the courtyard.

"Why is there a stone lion here?"

Qiao Twilight immediately asked.

"The tall, tall old man likes to carve, and he carves it."

Aman replied hesitantly.

"That's amazing."

Qiao Du looked at the stone lion, although it was different from the appearance of the world he was in, it was also quite exquisite, and the carving skills were good.

This room was located in the shadow of the mountain, slightly dim, Qiao Du found that the old man Gao was not a resident, there were two middle-aged people who looked to be thirty or forty years old in his house, a man and a woman, and a child about six or seven years old, the atmosphere in the room was very strange, everyone was silent.

It looks like the sons and daughters of the tall old man, as well as the grandchildren.

The tall old man sat in a chair with his eyes half-closed.

Seeing Aman come in with a stranger, everyone in the room except for the old man Gao had a vigilant expression, staring at Qiao Du and Qianyun.

"Hello, I'm Qiao Dui, I heard that you're going to die, so I came to visit."

After Aman explained the identities of the two, Qiao Duan got straight to the point.

The woman next to her smiled when she heard this.

"Yes, Daddy is finally dying, and you're in time for it."

The man on the side also held his wife's hand.

"You stay here, there will be a feast tomorrow, let's celebrate."

It seems that at the mention of their father's death, even their faces became rosy.

"Die well, die well!"

The child began to scream.

If it is placed in Qiao Dui's world, such a bear child will be beaten by his family, but in Penglai, no one cares about his speech, and if he can die like this, it can be regarded as a good death.

"Lao Gao, we met once, and we can be regarded as friends, I want to ask, how did you know that you were going to die?"

Qiao Du asked again.

Anyway, Old Man Gao will be a dead man tomorrow, so he didn't hesitate to use the [Dating Manual].

"When the time comes, it's time to die."

The old man's voice was low, as if there were countless bugs crawling in his throat.

"Does the rest of the village know about his death?"

Qiao Du asked again.

"Everyone knows their fate."

Old man Gao replied again.

"Do you know Tai Sui?"

Hearing Qiao Dui's words, suddenly, the temperature of the entire room seemed to drop and fell into freezing.

The couple looked at Qiao Du with stiff expressions, and even the bear child they were holding was silent.

Aman became frightened, and put his hands on the hem of his clothes, kneading them continuously.

Old man Gao looked at Qiao Dui, his eyes were empty, and they were like a mirror inside.

"Not here."

He replied hoarsely.

"Not here?"

Qianyun's nose moved slightly, and she could smell that there was a strong smell of Tai Sui.

"Not here."

Old man Gao repeated it again.

"Okay."

Qiao Du felt that there might not be any clues, so she nodded.

Saying goodbye to the family, they followed Aman away.

"You know Tai Sui."

Qiao Du followed behind Aman and said.

"If you didn't know Tai Sui, you wouldn't have behaved like that just now."

It was a reaction that clearly knew the meaning of Tai Sui.

Qianyun looked at Qiao Dui, not understanding what he was doing at this time.

Because this village must have secrets, secrets related to Tai Sui, then Qiao Dui's asking about these is tantamount to startling the snake.

"I—I don't know what Tai Sui is."

Aman immediately denied it.

But judging by her performance, it's clear that she knows what.

"Oh!"

Qiao Du didn't ask.

The three returned to Aman's house.

"You're the only one in your house?"

The house is obviously more lively, and there are some small animals carved from wood on the windowsill, showing the delicate heart of the owner.

It's just that there is no one else, so Qiao Du can't help but ask.

"Hmm."

Aman nodded, and then pointed to another room, with its stone-made bed.

"I'll bring you straw to make the bed."

She said, picking up a large bundle of straw from the yard and spreading it evenly on the bed, so that she could sleep.

Just just one bed.

Qiao Twilight and Qianyun glanced at each other.

"Tell me upfront, I won't give up my bed."

Qiao Du said first.

“.”

Asamu didn't want to complain.

"Can we take a walk around the village?"

Qiao Du probed and asked Aman again.

Sister Pujia didn't say no."

Aman hesitated for a moment before replying.

"Okay!"

Qiao Du replied and looked at the light clouds.

"Let's go out for a walk."

He's still waiting to hear the gossip from the shallow clouds.

Qianyun looked at Qiao Dui who walked out and sighed.

Walking out of Aman's house, the light clouds swept the topography of the village and pointed to the terraced rice fields on the heights.

"We'll talk as we go."

"Yay!"

Qiao Du walked side by side with each other on the high ridge.

"Now we can talk about the matter of Suiming Village, right?"

Hearing this, Qianyun glanced at Qiao Dui, and then spoke.

"According to the records of the case, Suiming Village is not a naturally formed village, but was formed by the people of the Hall of Eternal Life."
