Chapter 267: Strange Village Survival Guide 2
The group came out of the woods and walked for more than half an hour according to Lao Zhou's instructions, and finally saw a hidden path.
The path was winding and hidden in the mountains. It was very bumpy and muddy due to the rain. They walked for more than half an hour, one step deep and one step shallow, before they could vaguely see the outline of the village.
"Finally... found it... I really can't walk any longer." An Jiale bent over and supported his knees, panting with exhaustion.
"I am almost exhausted." Zhang Yan rubbed her face vigorously and whispered, "It's okay on sunny days, but it's too tiring to stand in the wind and rain."
As she spoke, she glanced at Mingnan who was standing straight beside her, and was stunned for a moment, "Aren't you tired?"
Mingnan was recalling the next plot. Hearing this, he looked at her, paused for a moment, squatted down suddenly, covered his face and let out a long breath, "I'm almost exhausted."
205: […Yes, acting is exhausting.]
Mingnan: [Don't talk and ruin my skills.]
Jiang Man looked at her thoughtfully when he heard that.
"We're almost there, let's hold on a little longer." The introverted Lin Jing with short hair suddenly became brave and strode towards Luoyang Village.
"Hey, wait for us. It's too dangerous for a little girl like you to act on your own!"
Gao Shuangbin shouted and hurriedly pulled Jiang Man to chase after him.
"Let's go too, Nannan." An Jiale walked over and took Mingnan's arm.
Mingnan stood up and responded calmly.
After walking for about ten more minutes, they finally arrived at the entrance of Luoyang Village.
Unlike the dilapidated scene imagined, the entrance of Luoyang Village was surprisingly clean. Looking around, the brick and tile houses in the village were arranged in an orderly manner.
As they approached, they found a large old stone standing by the road. An Jiale took a closer look and then exclaimed in surprise, "It's Luoyang Village!"
"Great, let's go in and take a look."
Li Yiming took the lead and walked into the village.
Because of the heavy rain, not many people were out and about at this time. The road was deserted. The dirt road was all sand and gravel, and the puddles were deep and shallow, making a crackling sound when you stepped on them.
"Strange, why is it so quiet?"
After walking for a long time, he didn't hear any human voices, not even the crowing of chickens or barking of dogs. An Jiale couldn't help rubbing his arms, "Is there no one living here?"
Mingnan curled his lips and said, "Who said there isn't one? Why not sit there?"
Everyone looked in the direction of her finger and saw an old lady in gray-blue long-sleeved shirt and black trousers sitting at the door, staring at them silently.
Those eyes were cloudy and didn't blink for a long time, which made people feel creepy.
An Jiale was caught off guard and looked into her eyes, and immediately screamed, "Ah!"
Zhang Yan was also startled, and hugged Li Yiming, shocked and angry, and said in a bad tone: "Old lady, why don't you say anything?"
Lin Jing took a step back silently.
The old lady still didn't speak.
She was sitting in the shadow of the gate, and her clothes were dark in color, so it was hard to spot her if you weren't paying attention.
She just stared at them, not knowing what she was thinking.
Yan Zhen frowned, "She looks quite old, so her hearing may not be very good. I'll go ask her."
He walked over quickly, squatted in front of the old lady, and asked gently, "Old lady, can you hear me?"
The old lady finally moved. She turned her head slowly, or rather stiffly, stared at Yan Zhen's face, and her lips moved.
Seeing this, everyone immediately felt a little hopeful.
Only Mingnan scratched his head, [Those who come out at this time are either NPCs or appetizers. ]
205: [Well, if nothing unexpected happens, something unexpected will happen soon. Put the high energy ahead on the public screen.]
Mingnan hesitated for a moment, but still reminded, "Don't get too close, so as not to scare the old man."
Jiang Man's eyebrows twitched and he looked at Mingnan again.
How come she seems to know the plot?
As if to verify his guess, the next moment, the old lady suddenly stood up, came up to Yan Zhen and laughed at him.
The laughter was sharp and loud, and Yan Zhen was caught off guard and startled, and the veins on his forehead bulged.
The others also gasped and stood there in a daze.
The old lady circled around Yan Zhen twice, clapping her hands and laughing, "Hahahaha, idiot, idiot! Hahahahahaha——"
Yan Zhen: “…”
It was a gloomy sky, with continuous heavy rain. The old lady's shrill laughter echoed in the deserted mountain village. All the elements were present, making people shudder.
Old Zhou was angry and helpless, "I said this place is not peaceful."
Gao Shuangbin patted his heart and said, "Oh my god, I was shocked. Could this old lady have Alzheimer's disease?"
Jiang Man glared at him and said, "Shut up."
An Jiale was so frightened that he was shaking. He said to Yan Zhen in a trembling voice, "Well, why don't you come back first?"
Seeing that he couldn't get anything out of the old lady, Yan Zhen turned around and saw the black door opposite creak open.
A middle-aged man wearing a white and blue plaid short-sleeved shirt and dark blue suit pants walked out.
He first glanced at Yan Zhen, then at Ming Nan and his group standing in the middle of the road. Something flashed across his eyes, and then he pulled up a kind smile and said, "Sorry, I scared you."
He spoke with a strange accent, but it was still understandable. Li Yiming immediately rushed over and said, "So there are people here. I thought they were all... "
Zhang Yan stepped forward and covered his mouth with her hands, smiling at the man apologetically, "Sorry to bother you, we are here for a trip, our car crashed on the way, and now we can't go anywhere, so we wanted to stay overnight and have a meal."
The man waved his hand nonchalantly, "It's okay."
"The madman is coming, the madman is coming!"
As soon as the old lady saw him, she hid behind the door, leaving only her eyes looking out through the crack.
Gao Shuangbin asked: "What is she doing..."
The man sighed, nodded his head, and said sympathetically: "She is sick, and has been like this for many years. She doesn't recognize people, and everyone she sees is a fool or a madman. Don't take it to heart."
"Really?" Mingnan asked casually, "But I see her clothes are clean, is there anyone taking care of her? Then why did you let her out in the rain? Aren't you afraid she'd fall or get hurt?"
Jiang Man's eyebrows moved slightly and he looked back.
Before, they only paid attention to the old lady and didn't notice the house behind her. There were blessing characters and couplets pasted on the black door, and the horizontal scroll on the top was very high, so it didn't seem like the old lady could reach it.
He retracted his gaze and looked at the man. The man's eyes stayed on Mingnan for two more seconds before he said, "Her son lives with her. Usually, her son cooks for her. But a long-term sick bed is not a filial son. After taking care of a fool for a long time, how can you have the patience to watch her every day?"
Lao Zhou put his hand in his pocket again and squeezed the cigarette case. "Who are you?"
"I forgot to mention that I'm the village chief, Wu Fa."
