Thinking of this, He Fei continued to move and began to rummage under a sudden thought. He rummaged through his pockets and even everywhere on his body. As a result, except for the wallet key and the dagger that appeared out of nowhere, he found nothing.
No.
squeak.
It is true to say that accidents often happen suddenly. Just when the two college students were sitting under a tree in silence for a long time, and just when He Fei was rummaging around and finding nothing, suddenly, there was a noise and a door opened.
The sound entered the eardrums, and at the same time, the door of a house not far from the two people opened straight ahead.
………
Based on my previous experience, the problems currently troubling me include the following two points.
First, I got into a car accident on my way home. It stands to reason that I would have died on the spot or been seriously injured and hospitalized. This is a standard result, and it is also a result that anyone can think of. But, who would have thought that along with
After the car accident ended, I actually experienced the third outcome. I was neither dead nor seriously injured, but ended up in a strange area for no apparent reason, an unknown place in the real world.
The environment here is desolate and full of wilderness, and there is only an old-fashioned village nearby that has nothing to do with modernity. Of course, the village or the environment is only one aspect. In fact, what really aroused my suspicion was the experience before entering the village.
.
Bloody Man, nearly a hundred weirdos in shabby clothes and covered in blood are hiding and wandering outside the village. They look like humans but not like humans. It is said that they are not human, but they do have the appearance and limbs that humans should have. They will also be injured when attacked.
They are bleeding, and they are said to be humans, but these things are slow in movement and scary in appearance. They do not even have the pain sensation that humans or even most creatures in the world should have. What is even more terrifying is that they attack and chase people when they see them.
In this case, what are these non-human things? Where do they come from or how are they born?
As for the second point, the cold voice!
The voice appeared in my mind out of thin air, and it gave me a task, an assessment task related to supernatural beings.
What is assessed?
Not knowing, not being clear makes all problems become a mystery.
Having said that, my intuition tells me that it is best to choose to believe and carry out the task as required no matter what, otherwise I will die, and I will die miserably.
So, I chose to trust my intuition and decided to stay in the village for three days. Of course, I couldn't do nothing during my stay. At least I had to find out what happened in the village.
………
The sudden sound of the courtyard door opening immediately attracted their attention. Without thinking about anything else, He Fei and Zhao Chengbing looked forward together, towards the door of the house that made the noise.
The courtyard door was pushed open from the inside, and soon, a girl carrying a pole came out.
Since the distance was not far, He Fei could see the girl clearly as soon as she appeared. He stared intently and saw that the girl had a beautiful appearance and wore two braids that had long been out of fashion. She seemed to be slightly younger than him, so she should be around.
He was about seventeen or eighteen years old, wearing a rather rustic floral cloth, carrying a pole on his shoulders, with two buckets hanging on both ends of the pole.
It was obvious that the other party was going out to fetch water. After all, everyone needs to drink water, and there happened to be a well near him and Zhao Chengbing. The only thing that worried He Fei was that although the girl was going out to fetch water, she was very beautiful when she came out.
There was a bit of uneasiness on her face, as if leaving home was a dangerous thing for her?
Everything is relative. As the courtyard door opened, He Fei and Zhao Chengbing saw the girl, and the girl didn't see them. But the strange thing was that they just discovered two strangers near the wellhead. They originally looked towards the well.
The girl who was walking towards her turned around and turned back after showing a look of shock.
"Hey! Please wait!"
Da da da da!
Seeing that the other party was about to return to the compound, He Fei suddenly became anxious. In other words, after finally seeing a villager in the village, how could he let the girl leave? Despite the many descriptions, in fact from the moment he found the girl turning around,
He Fei had already moved. He rushed towards the opponent with a shudder and shouted loudly at the same time.
Snap!
Finally, He Fei's quick action paid off. Not only did he successfully stop the opponent before he returned, he even shamelessly stepped into the courtyard first.
He Fei was like this, and Zhao Chengbing was not too thin-skinned. Seeing his friend rush into someone's yard shamelessly, the slightly fat young man followed him in.
"You, who are you? I...I don't know you!"
As expected, seeing the other person actually running into her yard before her, and seeing two strangers stopping her, the girl who seemed to be very afraid of strangers couldn't help but trembled, and quickly put down the carrying pole and looked at them intently, looking at the two strangers with a look of horror.
He looked at them for a moment and saw that the two of them had no intention of leaving. In desperation, the girl had no choice but to bravely test them and ask them in a timid tone.
Faced with the inquiry, Zhao Chengbing looked embarrassed and didn't know how to answer. However, He Fei, who had already integrated himself into the identity of an 'evaluator' and had the mentality to complete the task, obviously didn't care so much. He recalled that this city was different from modern society no matter how you looked at it.
The derailed remote village, looking at the rustic thing in front of me again
The dressed-up girl, the college student, was quite suspicious. After thinking for a moment, he immediately rolled his eyes and replied: "Well, um, sister, please don't get me wrong. We are not gangsters, but businessmen passing through the city. We ran out of dry food passing by here.
, plus it’s getting late now, so...can I stay overnight?”
After saying that, fearing that the other party would not believe him, he had a flash of inspiration in his mind and hurriedly pointed to his side, pointing at the heavy luggage Zhao Chengbing was carrying behind him and continued: "Look, my friend's bag is full of goods."
He Fei chose to lie. He did not tell the girl their true identities. Instead, he was prompted by a certain thought and lied that he and Zhao Chengbing were businessmen in the city. As for the girl, after hearing this, the young man with handsome appearance and unusual clothes was in front of him.
After the explanation, the girl did not speak immediately, only
He glanced at He Fei and the two with suspicious and slightly wary eyes. After observing for a long time, it was not until he confirmed that the bag carried by the other fat young man was indeed big and heavy that the girl could not respond and asked in a dubious tone.
: "You...are you really from the city?"
"Well, yes."
Seeing that the other party was slightly convinced, He Fei not only nodded vigorously while the iron was hot, but also quietly touched Zhao Haibing beside him with his elbow without waiting for the girl to continue speaking.
Sure enough, Zhao Chengbing, who was touched by He Fei and was stunned by He Fei's lies just now, finally came to his senses and hurriedly smiled while patting his luggage behind him and echoed: "Yes, yes, we are indeed in a nearby city.
If you don't believe me, merchant, I can show you the goods. I have no other requirements, I just want to stay overnight."
While talking, in order to increase the goodwill of the other party, the slightly fat young man kept groping in his pockets, and soon he took out a bag of snacks with the words "Tongxiang Sour Plum" printed on them and handed them to the girl.
"Hey, this is a little fun, girl, eat it and see, it tastes good!".
Since she had never seen such beautifully packaged snacks, the girl took the snacks and did not start eating immediately. Instead, she observed curiously. Unexpectedly, just as the girl was looking at the snacks in her hands and Zhao Haibing was about to remind him how to tear open the packaging bag, someone in the courtyard
, an old voice passed directly into the ears of several people:
"Xiaoxia, what's wrong? Why is there so much noise at the door?"
"Huh? These two people around you are..."
Hearing the sound, He Fei and the two turned their heads instinctively, and saw two figures leaving the main room in front of them. They were an old man holding a cane and a middle-aged woman. The old man's hair and beard were all white, and his face was full of wrinkles, proving that he was young.
There are also 70 years old, and the middle-aged man standing next to the old man
The young woman looks about 50 years old, similar to the girl in front of the door. Both of them are dressed in the same rustic style and are dressed like villagers in coarse cloth. Of course, this is not the point. The point is that the old man and the middle-aged woman saw He Fei and He Fei at the door.
Afterwards, both of them were slightly stunned.
At the same time, perhaps getting a gift made the girl quite happy. When the old man looked curious, he asked. Before He Fei could answer, the girl whom the old man called Xiaoxia had already taken the initiative to answer for the two of them: "Grandpa, they two
They are businessmen from the city who want to stay at our house for a night. You see, they also gave me a bag of delicious food."
After Xiaoxia explained this, the old man frowned. He didn't say anything, but looked up and down at He Fei and the two like Xiaoxia did at first. His cloudy eyes flashed with light from time to time, while staring at the two young men in unusual clothes, he said something to himself.
He muttered to himself: "You're from the city?"
The old man was secretly suspicious, but the middle-aged woman beside him seemed not to want to get involved. She turned around and nodded to the old man, and then said in a serious tone: "Village Chief Yang, I will try my best to do what you asked me to do."
Try, if it still doesn’t work, our village... we people... can just..."
The middle-aged woman didn't say anything else, but the white-bearded old man, who was called Grandpa by the girl and Village Chief Yang by the middle-aged woman, sighed and nodded: "Hey, I understand what you mean, but I can try again.
You still have to try as much as possible, and this matter will be troublesome to you, Mrs. Chen."
"Then I'll leave first."
As soon as Village Chief Yang said this, the middle-aged woman called Chen Po also sighed. Although she sighed, Chen Po did not continue to say more. She just said hello to Village Chief Yang and left, turning around.
Go to the courtyard gate.
only……
When the middle-aged woman named Chen Po was about to leave the courtyard, and at the same time passing by He Fei and Zhao Chengbing, Chen Po, who looked worried, turned her head slightly and looked at the two of them.
He looked at the two of them with some indescribable strange eyes. Because of the strange eyes, Zhao Chengbing didn't know why, but He Fei noticed it.
Just now, Mrs. Chen looked at him and Zhao Chengbing with pity in her eyes, as if...
