Chapter 705: The Village Chief
The fog is thick.
The air is slightly fishy, but not unpleasant.
This smell is reminiscent of dried salted fish or other aquatic products.
This is what a fishing village should look like.
The big fluffy ears twitched twice, and the girl frowned slightly.
For some reason, the village is not so quiet anymore.
Hu Xiaobei could hear people talking, walking, and playing.
There was even faint smoke rising in the distance.
It's like this is an ordinary village.
But judging from the information we just got...
These people are very likely to be in a state of death without knowing it, just like the old lady.
"It's possible that he's still alive, right."
Su Xi spoke softly, not knowing what she was thinking.
"Um."
Hu Xiaobei's voice was no longer so cold, and she raised her eyebrows.
Threatening people also requires skills, forcing them to a dead end, and the other party is likely to kill them all.
After Su Xi's setback, expressing the most basic kindness like now can achieve unexpected results.
Such as now.
Just from Su Xi's words "Maybe he's still alive", Hu Xiaobei could deduce a lot of things.
Su Xi doesn't know if other villagers will die from the fog, which means that the fog itself has nothing to do with reincarnation.
In other words, Wei Shanhe and Samsara are not in the same camp.
"Let's go forward."
Hu Xiaobei showed no emotion on his face and motioned to Su Xi to lead the way.
There are more people in the village, but not all houses can be entered.
Most of the places where there are sounds are empty areas after passing through the fog.
It was similar to the scene after the death of the old lady at the entrance of the village. The whole house collapsed and disappeared.
But the sound still exists, even becoming more and more obvious.
Obviously, in this case, we cannot continue to delve deeper into the source of the sound.
Stay away and move on.
"That's the village chief's home."
Su Xi pointed at the distance.
For some reason, the fog there seems to be a little lighter.
——
The play idiot carried the golden flag and groped forward.
Wang Jin carried Song He on his shoulders and remained alert at all times.
Occasionally I would stop and look at the relatively intact houses.
Unfortunately, they never met a mermaid with whom they could communicate.
Xiao Hei's detection results were very accurate. There were no humans within a fifty-meter radius.
"hiss…"
The drama fanatic stretched out his hand to rub his eyebrows, lowered his head and bared his teeth.
He has rough skin and thick flesh, and is highly resistant to pain.
But the feeling on my forehead... felt like someone had inserted a needle into my head along the bone seams and stirred it violently.
A sting from deep within the soul.
At first, I thought it was because I didn't sleep well last night, but this feeling became more and more intense and became unbearable.
"Are you feeling uncomfortable?"
Wang Jin stopped without hesitation and asked.
He spoke a little faster and sounded a little anxious.
Xi Chi’s heart felt warm.
From the moment he landed until now, this is what Wang Jin has asked the most.
He didn't expect that he would also be cared about, and the other party was a murderous cult leader.
So the playboy waved his hands and forced a smile.
"Don't worry, my brother's body is as hard as his kidneys."
"It's hard... isn't that a kidney stone..."
Wang Jin sighed helplessly and said nothing more.
Xi Chi took a breath, and the situation seemed to have eased slightly.
He lowered his head and pointed at something at his feet.
That's a small stone.
"Can I..."
Xi Chi's eyes sparkled with joy, and he looked at Wang Jin with pleading eyes.
The latter had a dark look on his face and nodded slowly.
After learning the lesson just now, Xi Chi reluctantly learned to report first and then act.
Because of this, Wang Jin knew what Xi Chi was thinking about all day long.
Sometimes I want to see this, sometimes I want to touch that.
Leisurely like a tourist out for a walk.
Of course, Wang Jin would not refuse such a small request.
Watching the opera fans having so much fun, Wang Jin felt an inexplicable sense of accomplishment.
Snap!
Xi Chi raised his legs and kicked away the stone in front of him, watching it fly into the sky.
Then he curled his lips.
"I missed...it's really unlucky."
"Don't mess with them."
Wang Jin frowned and asked the drama fanatic to move on.
There was movement gradually in the houses on both sides, seeming to attract people to come over and take a look.
But through the fog, you will find that...the one making the sound is not the villagers, but the mermaid.
The hair tied the legs, and the other end was tied to the beam.
Some are two together, and some are in groups of three or five.
The mermaid just floats in mid-air, like a hydrogen balloon that anyone can choose from on the street.
After noticing someone approaching, they began to struggle desperately, seemingly asking for help.
Wang Jin ignored it and turned around to leave.
As soon as you get close to the house, the inspiration warning will flash...
This is no joke.
"It's a little pitiful."
The drama fanatic took one last look at the mermaids and ran to Wang Jin to continue clearing the way.
Before he had gone very far, he stopped again with a face full of shock and pointed forward.
"Fuck! Up!"
Wang Jin followed the playboy's palm and looked forward.
Where the fog is thinner, there is a slightly different courtyard.
Compared with other villagers' houses, it is bigger and more impressive.
Of course, this is not what surprised the drama fans.
There is a mermaid floating in the sky above the yard, and the other end of the shackles on his feet is tied to the beam.
There are dozens of them.
They almost filled the space above the courtyard, colliding with each other as their bodies swayed, making sticky slapping sounds.
"Up, I'm glad you figured it out."
Wang Jin rubbed his temples.
After replacing the balloon with a mermaid...it doesn't seem to be that healing.
Feeling the inquiring gaze of the drama fanatic, Wang Jin took a deep breath.
"Got to see it."
——
In front of me are double wooden doors more than two meters high.
Different from other shabby wooden doors, this door is painted with tung oil and nailed with copper nails.
Very impressive.
"The village chief is very enthusiastic. He often let me play at his home when I was a child."
Su Xi looked at the familiar wooden door and was slightly lost in thought. Then she smiled and spoke with a little more light in her eyes.
Perhaps because they have not communicated with the outside world for many years, the folk customs in Chenjiaweizi are quite simple.
Although I didn't live here long, that time was extremely precious in Su Xi's eyes.
"Although his house is big, everyone voluntarily pooled their money to build it."
The woman stepped forward and wanted to reach out and push open the door.
The bare feet stepped on the cobbled ground, making a hasty sound.
"Whenever the village chief gets the chance, he invites the villagers to dinner, and the yard will be filled with tables."
"At that time I..."
The woman's steps were getting faster and faster, and she could hear familiar voices coming from the yard.
Snap.
The palm with one missing finger pressed against the door.
Su Xi took a deep breath and slowly exerted force.
Hu Xiaobei did not stop him, but stood slightly behind Su Xi.
squeak——
The door opened.
The originally muffled voice became clear.
There are many people in the yard, busy but orderly.
The aroma of the food wafts through the air, making you want to eat.
They are preparing a hearty big pot meal.
