Chapter 780 Assessment Mission: Encountering an Old Acquaintance (11)
The five students were stunned when they saw the dishes being served on the table.

Even Yu Muhuai's expression froze for two seconds when he first saw it.

Before the dish was taken out, she took a bite with her chopsticks.

Fortunately, Yu Yinghou, a top-notch actress, managed to control her facial expressions in time.

But even this one bite caused her hands, which were holding the dish, to tremble slightly.
Ah Long and Yu Muhuai then took their seats.

Ah Long, expressionless and devoid of emotion, greeted the people in front of him, saying, "Eat up, everyone."

As he spoke, he picked up a piece of green vegetable with his chopsticks and put it into his bowl.

Yu Muhuai sighed silently, and in order to play her role well, she put on a forced smile.

"Yeah, didn't you say you were hungry? Hurry up and eat, or it'll get cold."

After he finished speaking, the other six people all cast strange glances at him.

Yu Muhuai realized she had misspoke, so she chuckled awkwardly and explained, "What I meant was, the weather is hot, and the vegetables spoil easily. If we don't eat them soon, they'll go bad."

After saying that, she quickly picked up several mouthfuls of food and then lowered her head to eat them.

It was seriously awful.

Despite the sweltering summer heat, the vegetables exuded a strange coolness, as if they had just been taken out of the refrigerator.

The seasoning had a strange, rotten smell.

Even though he had experienced so many worlds and eaten a lot of unpalatable food, Yu Muhuai felt bitter about having to pretend that eating raw vegetables was delicious.

Smiling on the outside, cursing on the inside.

Luo Ji was the first to pick up some food, and when he looked up, he glanced at Yu Muhuai, who was almost burying his head in his bowl.

Then he lowered his head to eat, trying to avoid letting others see his barely concealed smile.

Tong Yi remained completely silent throughout, eating his food coldly, his expression as cold as the dishes themselves.

Lin Sixuan took a bite and almost vomited. After barely swallowing it, she never picked up any more food.

In her opinion, skipping dinner is a normal thing, and girls often do this to maintain their weight.

She would definitely never touch such an unpalatable dish again.

Like Lin Sixuan, Cheng Guang took one bite and showed a look of disgust, put down his chopsticks, and refused to touch the food again.

Ah Long ignored their reactions, acting as if he didn't care at all whether they disliked him or not.

Others can choose not to eat, but Xu Qizhi clearly cannot. Although he had just decided to lose weight a few tens of minutes ago, he couldn't help but choose to fill his stomach over his weight.

No matter how bad the food tastes, it can't deter a chubby person's determination to eat.

Xu Qizhi encouraged himself while eating his food with tears in his eyes.

The dinner left everyone with mixed feelings and a bittersweet experience.

After finally finishing dinner, it was completely dark.

As night fell, the village chief's words of advice still echoed in my ears.

There must be something unusual outside Zhukun Village at night, which is why the village chief repeatedly warned everyone not to go out at night.

As for what's inside, it could very well be the key to solving the mystery.

However, since the village chief said that we cannot go out, Yu Muhuai certainly wouldn't be foolish enough to be the first to try going out.

While the first person to try something new is brave, in horror movies, the first person to recklessly charge in will almost certainly die a horrible death.

One of the Yu family's survival rules: In situations where the circumstances are unclear and the environment is strange, never be the first to step forward.

Night falls, and darkness descends.

At this point, the students discovered a serious problem.

That's because there are no lights here.

Ah Long's house had no electricity and no lights. This was the case for all the other villagers in Zhukun Village, except for the village chief's house.

The extent of the village's backwardness was completely beyond the students' expectations.

Lin Sixuan asked, "Huahua, do you have candles at home? Even if there are no electric lights, you can still light a candle, right?"

However, this time, Ah Long answered much faster than Yu Muhuai.

He said in a very unpleasant tone, "No candles! We don't need any lights at night!"

Although Ah Long didn't seem very enthusiastic before, his tone of voice was normal.

But his words just now suddenly became unusually agitated, almost like a roar. It was as if Lin Sixuan's words had triggered some taboo topic, which was why he reacted so strongly.

Yu Muhuai seemed to be deep in thought.

She remembered what Ah Long had said while she was cooking.

You can't turn on the stove when cooking.

Candles also need to be lit, so they cannot be used.

Therefore, no fires are allowed in this village.

The reason why fire cannot be used remains to be found.

Lin Sixuan was startled by Ah Long's sudden and intense tone, and was stunned for a moment.

Then she forced a smile and asked cautiously, "Then, what will we do at night? Are we just going to walk and do things in the dark?"

Ah Long's tone softened slightly: "The moonlight in the village is bright enough for you. And there's nothing to do tonight, so you should all go to bed early and get up early."

The countryside is nothing like the city; there's not much to do there, and it's extremely dangerous outside, so everyone should go to bed early. Once you're asleep, you'll feel better.

As he spoke, Ah Long walked to the window and pulled back the curtains.

The window glass was frosted, so you couldn't see outside, but moonlight could still shine in.

Strangely, even though it's not the full moon night of the fifteenth or sixteenth of the lunar month, the moonlight is so bright.

However, no matter how bright it is, it can never compare to the sun.

The moon's glow is faint and cold.

The people inside could only move around in such a dimly lit environment.

Ah Long remained expressionless and lifeless as he took two thin blankets out of the wardrobe.

One bed was given to Yu Muhuai, and the other was given to his own bedroom.

"Go to bed early, everyone. The village chief probably told you not to go out at night."

Seeing Ah Long turn and walk into the room, Lin Sixuan became a little anxious.

She quickly stopped the other person: "I... I wanted to ask, what should I do if I need to go to the toilet at night?"

Ah Long turned to look at Lin Sixuan.

The room was dimly lit, and Ah Long's face was inscrutable. His eyes were unfathomable, making him appear even more eerie.

Lin Sixuan swallowed nervously as she was stared at by those lifeless eyes.

Ah Long's hoarse and unpleasant voice said, "There's a urinal in the room. Just hold it in until daytime. If you really can't hold it in, there's a chamber pot under the bed."

"A chamber pot? A... chamber pot?"

Lin Sixuan has always been a very clean person, and after hearing these two words, she felt like she was about to collapse.

Just then, Xu Qizhi, who had been mocked for his weight, spoke up.

"Lin Sixuan, don't you even look at where we live? What are you being so particular about? Do you even know what it means to adapt to local customs?"

Seemingly in retaliation against Lin Sixuan, Xu Qizhi's tone was also very mocking.
