Chapter 33 Baby (3,000 words updated)

"This ancestral hall won't be built outside the village, right?" Nie Zheng asked doubtfully.

Fan Xihe shook his head and said he didn't know.

"Boom."

Nie Zheng covered his head and took a few steps back.

Fan Xihe quickly came over and helped him, "What's wrong with you?"

Nie Zheng pushed up his glasses, then stretched out his hand to test, until a resistance appeared in his palm, "There is something here."

Fan Xihe also came over and touched it, and he really touched something, but there was nothing in front of him.

"It looks like a red brick wall." Nie Zheng felt the touch under his hands, and then kept touching the invisible wall as he walked, "There seems to be a door here."

Fan Xihe also walked over and stretched out his hand to feel it, "It's really a door, but why can't we see it?"

Nie Zheng looked at the open space in front of him in silence. It was a bit tricky to be able to touch but not see. And why is there a courtyard in this village that cannot be seen?

"Is there anyone there?" Nie Zheng knocked on the invisible door.

Fan Xihe's eyes widened, as if he was shocked by his actions.

"I went in when there was no one around!" Nie Zheng said nicely, but in fact he had already reached out and started to push, but he didn't push away.

He tugged again, but did not pull it away. He said thoughtfully: "Maybe we haven't reached the conditions to open it yet, let's go."

Fan Xihe said nothing, thinking to himself, no wonder this man was in front of everyone during the assembly, he was too brave.

Just being so reckless, he was able to clear so many games.

Nie Zheng didn't know what he was thinking. He was just used to taking the initiative in everything. Otherwise, why not wait for the ghosts to come to him?

As for the three girls, Zhao Xiaowei hid behind Song Nannan and whispered, "I feel like they are all looking at us. That look is really scary."

Song Nannan looked solemn. The three of them had just gone to the entrance of the village and found that...the way they came had been blocked by heavy fog and they could not go out at all.

When those people looked at them heading towards the village entrance, their eyes were evil and fierce, but when they looked back, they changed back to their previous appearance.

Yun Duo lowered his head and whispered: "We are obviously tourists, but why do I feel like we are prey to be slaughtered in their eyes?"

After she finished speaking, Song Nannan felt that her words were really appropriate.

"And have you noticed that there are... no women in this village?" Yun Duo added.

Only then did Song Nannan realize in hindsight, yes! If there were no women in this village, how could they reproduce, let alone the people in the wheat fields who were all young laborers.

"How about we find a house and look in through the window? Maybe it's some special custom that doesn't allow women to leave the house or something?" Zhao Xiaowei said.

"You can try it."

The three women randomly found a house, and Yun Duo, who was relatively petite, stepped on Song Nannan's back and climbed up the narrow window to look inside.

"Did you see anything?" Song Nannan asked.

Yun Duo jumped down and shook his head, "There seemed to be no one inside, and it was extremely dark. I stood there and blocked the only light source that came in, so basically I couldn't see anything."

Several people were silent.

After thinking about it, Song Nannan suggested again: "Should we go to the river to have a look?"

Zhao Xiaowei stopped her: "They all said they couldn't go, so why are you going? Are you going to die?"

Yun Duo thought for a moment and said, "I agree."

Zhao Xiaowei was a little angry when she saw that the two of them seemed to be in a group, but she didn't dare to leave alone, so she followed them impatiently.

Song Nannan didn't care what Zhao Xiaowei was feeling, she just wanted to find the source quickly and clear the game quickly. She didn't want to stay in this place all day.

Because the most terrifying thing is not death, but waiting for death.

A few people were by the river, but they felt the chill before they even got close.

"It's so cold." Zhao Xiaowei said with chattering teeth: "What's so good about this river?"

Song Nannan gritted her teeth and walked closer to the river step by step. The closer she got, the colder she got, and white frost formed on her eyelashes.

There are shadows in the water.

Song Nannan just glanced at it, but she felt that her eyes were too cold to move. She quickly ran back, and then she felt that her body began to gradually warm up.

"Did you see anything?" Zhao Xiaowei asked quickly.

Yun Duo looked at Song Nannan worriedly.

"There are shadows in the water, black, and it feels like those things are all at the bottom of the river." Song Nannan rubbed his arms.

"What on earth is that?" Zhao Xiaowei asked.

Song Nannan frowned and looked at her, "Then go and see for yourself."

After saying that, she turned around and left with Yun Duo.

Let’s not talk about the three girls for now, let’s talk about the duo, He Jian and Wang Chuan.

When the two met the villagers, they asked if anything strange had happened recently, but all the villagers said no, it was normal.

However, the two of them learned from a gangster with a runny nose that a river ceremony would be held in a few days, which seemed to be the last day they would leave.

But as if they were deliberately concealing their presence as outsiders, they didn't say a word about the seven traveling people.

It was He Jian who gave the little gangster a thousand yuan, and the little gangster said it.

"So why are we offering sacrifices to the river?" He Jian asked as he walked, "Is it to pray for a good harvest or for something else?"

Wang Chuan secretly glanced at the villagers in the wheat field, and said in He Jian's ear: "Have you noticed that they seem to be staring at us all the time?"

He Jian heard what he said and observed carefully, and then he was shocked, "It's true."

"Then what should we do? Go back?" Wang Chuan retreated inwardly.

He Jian shook his head, "We haven't found any clues yet. Let's look for it quickly while it's still safe during the day."

The two people started walking around the village. Suddenly, He Jian seemed to have bumped into something. He stretched out his hand and touched in front of him, "There is something!"

Wang Chuan also came over, and the two of them studied for a long time.

Finally, He Jian pushed open a door and walked in. The originally empty scene instantly turned into a woodshed.

The bottom of the woodshed is covered with straw, and the windows are as small as those in the village.

Wang Chuan put his head in and came out again. He couldn't see anything outside, but after entering, he could see that it was a woodshed, and He Jian couldn't see anything outside after entering.

It's really strange.

"help me!"

He Jian in the woodshed suddenly shouted for help. Wang Chuan hurried in and saw a blood-stained sling hanging from He Jian's neck. His legs were already off the ground and he was kicking around in mid-air.

Wang Chuan went in and hugged his legs, trying to lower him from the sling, but the sling became tighter and tighter.

He Jian did not expect that he would be so unlucky that he would be entangled as soon as he came in. He could only escape by using the disposable prop stand-in doll that he had spent a lot of money to buy.

He ran out quickly and took a deep breath.

Wang Chuan did not dare to stay and ran out quickly, fearing that the hanging rope would also tie him up.

It was only the first day, and he had used a disposable prop that was used to save his life. He Jian was a little upset, and he shouldn't have taken it lightly.

"Okay, I think it's almost dark today, let's go back and make peace with them." Wang Chuan patted He Jian on the shoulder and said.

This time, the seven players finally got together again.

"Tell me what you have discovered." Song Nannan said.

The seven people exchanged information, but Nie Zheng asked curiously: "Can you see it after you go in?"

He Jian nodded with some fear, "Yes, there is a firewood shed inside, with straw on the ground. I stretched out my hand to pull it out and took a look, and found that there were bloody chains underneath, but when I straightened up, a hanging rope was They directly strangled my neck, and finally I was able to escape using disposable props."

Nie Zheng touched his chin, but the door of the invisible courtyard they encountered could not be opened. Could it be that there are two invisible but touchable places?

One was a woodshed, and where was the other? And he couldn't find the ancestral hall either.

Seven people were crowded into one house, and it was hard to stretch out. Their dinner at night was brought by Xiaohua, one steamed bun for each person, and some vegetables such as pickles and beans.

Looking at these dishes, several people were afraid to eat them.

And for these three days of games, they had already prepared self-heating compressed biscuits, rice, chocolate, etc.

After a simple bite, Nie Zheng and Fan Xihe were about to go back to their houses. Zhao Xiaowei stopped them and said, "You might as well live with us. It would be safer to build a bunkhouse on the ground floor."

Fan Xihe wanted to refuse, but didn't know how to refuse.

But Nie Zheng said directly, "Forget it, there are too many people and if something goes wrong, no one can escape."

Hearing this, Zhao Xiaowei fell silent.

They considered the safety of the large number of people, but failed to consider what would happen if all seven of them were really in danger and were wiped out.

Fan Xihe breathed a sigh of relief and left with Nie Zheng.

And because there are two rooms in a house, Nie Zheng is not used to sleeping with others, so he just separates them in a separate room.
