Chapter 23: Six Families

Something big happened.

The old village chief's face looked ugly like a dead person.

But instead of yelling, he called the heads of several wealthy families over, and a bunch of people gathered together and discussed it.

“Today’s festival will be ongoing as usual.”

The old village chief looked back behind him. What he was most worried about was these young people who were not stable in nature.

"No one is allowed to tell what happened in the ancestral hall. Do you remember it?"

"Remember..."

The old village chief swept over everyone with his old eyes, and then said to the head of the Wang family: "You will host this year's festival. Remember, the fairy sheep must be retrieved..."

The head of the Wang family was overjoyed and did not look like two young people died at all.

"Yes, I will definitely do it! Village Chief!"

"Go, I'm old, I can't control these things..."

———

It was dawn, and Qin Manjiang opened his eyes on time at 7:30.

"You're awake, classmate Qin, come and eat something." Liu Jingqing was speaking.

"Where are everyone?" Qin Manjiang glanced around and disappeared except Liu Jingqing.

"They went to the village just as dawn, saying that they wanted to do more investigations while the daytime." Liu Jingqing replied.

"This is the instant noodles we brought ourselves, you can eat some." As he said that, Liu Jingqing brought a bowl of instant noodles. "I heard that in a previous game, the strange thing came out of the water source of the building, because everyone drank the water from the building, and eventually they were all killed by the ghosts in the water."

She put the instant noodles in front of Qin Manjiang and said, "So since then, everyone has prepared food and drinking water by themselves, so it's better to eat than to eat suspicious things."

Qin Manjiang looked down at the instant noodles, picked it up, and asked, "Aren't you going?"

Liu Jingqing shook her head slightly and said seriously: "I'm going, you will be alone."

Qin Manjiang didn't ask any more questions. After finishing the instant noodles quickly, he washed up and left the hotel where he temporarily stayed.

But as soon as I opened the hotel door, I ran into a girl.

She was wearing round glasses, a braided braid on the back of her head, a simple white shirt on her upper body, and a white-washed jeans on her lower body, which was very clean.

Whether it is dressed or his overall appearance and temperament, they are very clean.

After seeing Qin Manjiang and Liu Jingqing, she seemed to be stunned: "Hello, are you the only two?"

Liu Jingqing asked in confusion: "May I ask you..."

The girl wearing round glasses hurriedly said, "Oh, just call me Xiaoran. I was Uncle Chen who arranged for me to come and take you to visit the village."

As she said that, she glanced at the hotel: "Where are the others? Uncle Chen said there are five people."

"They have already gone out for a walk first, so we'll trouble you, sister Xiaoran." Liu Jingqing estimated her age and thought that this girl was about the same age as Qin Manjiang at most, so it's most suitable to call her sister.

"No, come with me! The village is so big! I'll take you to have a good look." Xiaoran said with a smile. As soon as she turned her head, her ponytail was raised with agility.

Qin Manjiang looked at Xiaoran thoughtfully, and followed without saying a word.

Walking all the way to the middle of the village, the road is getting better and better, and even flat floor tiles are laid.

Today's Xianyang Village is even more lively than when I arrived yesterday. Every household has come out and put on the best and cleanest clothes, and everyone has a happy face.

"This area is the Wang family. The Wang family is one of the rich families in the village. The house surrounded by high walls and like a villa is the place where the Wang family lives, which looks so beautiful!"

Xiaoran pointed to the big house that was very expensive when he saw it.

"That's the Zhang family, just like the Wang family, it's also a wealthy family. There is the Li family, and next to the Li family is the Sun family... opposite the Sun family is the Xie family..."

"This road is facing the street, facing north and south, and the best-placed mansion is the village chief's home. The village chief's family's surname is Chen, and the six most impressive ones in the village!"

Xiaoran's tone seemed to hide envy that she tried her best to hide.

Qin Manjiang asked: "What business do they do? So profitable?"

Xiaoran shook his head, and suddenly said as if he had remembered something, "I think it must be the fairy of Sheep who is blessing them!"

Sheep Fairy?

These two words were particularly sensitive to Qin Manjiang and Liu Jingqing's ears. Liu Jingqing immediately asked, "Sister Xiaoran, how do you say this sentence for Yang Xian blessing?"

Xiaoran led them forward and asked strangely: "Aren't you here to participate in the Sheep Flow Festival? On the Sheep Flow Festival every three years, a lucky person will be drawn out to pretend to be the three-day sheep fairy, and then a lucky person will be drawn out to make a wish to the person who plays the Sheep Fairy. Finally, the person who plays the Sheep Fairy and the person who are selected to make a wish can realize their wishes!"

"Chen, Wang, Zhang, Li, Sun, Xie, all the six families have made wishes to Yangxian. They have become richer and richer over the past twenty years. It must be the blessing of Yangxian!" Xiaoran folded his hands devoutly and muttered, "I hope I can choose me this year. Please... let me make a wish too."

Liu Jingqing leaned into Qin Manjiang's ear and whispered: "This strange talk is very likely that something happened to someone who pretended to be a sheep fairy. If so, those six families who have made wishes to the sheep fairy will definitely be revenge..."

Qin Manjiang nodded. At this moment, Xiaoran suddenly pointed forward again and said, "Look! There is the ancestral hall, the place where the sheep fairy is worshipped!"

"All the village can exist until now is thanks to Yangxian. This ancestral hall is specially cultivated for Yangxian!"

Following Xiaoran's finger, Qin Manjiang and Liu Jingqing looked at the ancestral hall. The five-meter-high white wall surrounded the entire ancestral hall area, and the entrance was made into a circle. If the door was completely pushed open, it would be like a hole.

"I was put in a dark and narrow hole, and I could no longer hold light in my eyes..." Liu Jingqing murmured.

From the description, this ancestral hall is simply a dark and narrow hole in the opening speech.

But... this ancestral hall is not dark and narrow enough, right?

It’s another thing to say whether it’s black or not. Such a large area is definitely not narrow.

"Let's go, let's go to the Hundred-meter Banquet. Those who can make wishes to the Sheep Fairy were also chosen at the Hundred-meter Banquet. Go over!"

The 100-meter banquet in Xiaoran's mouth means that each household produces some specialty dishes and places them in the square in the center of the village. The tables and tables are all filled, saying that they can stretch for a hundred meters, which is quite spectacular.

However, the originally lively crowd in the village suddenly became a little noisy, and there were vague crying.

Qin Manjiang and Liu Jingqing subconsciously felt something was wrong. They crossed Xiaoran and ran towards the center of the village square to hold a 100-meter banquet.

Sure enough, although before it was fully arrived, I heard the villagers' terrified discussions and the cry of a woman:

"Son, get up quickly!"
