Walking in the village, Chen Mu observed the surrounding scenery.

The village is a very normal one, with a dirt road in the middle and ordinary mud houses on both sides, giving it the feeling of an ancient village alley.

Occasionally you can see villagers returning from work on the road.

Some villagers were carrying hoes and rolling up their trouser legs, having just returned from working in the fields.

It is not easy to maintain such peace and harmony in times of famine.

Along the way, Jiao Chong'e was very good at chatting and opened up a conversation with the village chief.

It is obvious that as a professional, Jiao Chong'e knew how to obtain intelligence.

The village chief is already in his sixties, has no children, and his wife has passed away, so he lives alone.

Fortunately, the village chief is highly respected and trusted by the villagers, and many villagers are willing to help him.

The welcoming dinner for Chen Mu and his friends was held in the yard of the village chief's house.

Several farmers and their wives came to help with cooking and cleaning the tables and chairs.

Soon, everyone arrived at the village chief's house.

In the middle of the yard, there was a table with two steaming meals on it.

There are four long wooden benches around the table.

Everyone sat down on the long bench, and Chen Mu looked at the food on the table.

A green wild vegetable of unknown origin and a plate of very rough sorghum rice.

Not long after, two more dishes were brought up from the kitchen, both of which were bitter wild vegetables.

The village chief picked up the bottle on the table and poured a glass of wine for everyone.

"The village is haunted by evil spirits. We would like to thank all the heroes for coming to exorcise the evil spirits. On behalf of Daohuaxiang Village, I would like to welcome all the heroes.

Please forgive me for the rough food.”

After saying this, the village chief picked up the wine glass and drank it all.

Chen Mu and his friends also took a sip of wine.

However, when the wine went down his throat, Chen Mu realized that it was not wine at all, but plain water!

The other people also looked slightly stunned, and it was obvious that everyone's water was white.

The village chief said a little embarrassedly: "Please forgive me, heroes. During the famine, there is no wine in the village. I will use water instead of wine to show my respect."

Chen Mu didn't feel anything was wrong, instead he felt it fit the background very well.

During the famine years, the villagers could only afford three dishes and one meal to entertain guests.

Although they were all bitter wild vegetables and very rough food, it was good to have something to eat.

Chen Mu and his companions did not act pretentiously. They started eating and the table became lively. Everyone opened up and chatted with the village chief about the evil and weird things about cannibalism.

Speaking of the evil cannibalism, the village chief couldn't help but look horrified.

"That guy was very scary, hiding during the day and coming out at night. He had a red cloth on his head and red shoes on his feet.

At night, it would appear in the village. No one knew when it would appear, and no one had ever seen its specific appearance.

Anyone caught by it will be eaten by it, leaving only a pile of bones.

At night, our village also organizes strong men to guard the night and catch ghosts.

But we mere mortals are no match for the man-eating monster. In the process, many strong men were killed.

It is a time of famine, and the village must have men to protect it. If this continues, the village will be less populated and will inevitably be targeted by refugees who will rob the village.

That's why I asked all the heroes to come and get rid of the evil cannibal.

Although we in Daohuaxiang Village are not wealthy, we will provide meals every day when you exorcise demons here.

The man-eating monster was very terrifying, and it was at its most terrifying after midnight. Any strong man who saw it would be killed.

So I suggest to all heroes that you stay indoors after midnight, and find and kill it during the day when it is weak and hiding."

While eating the bitter meal, everyone listened to the village chief talking about the evil and vicious cannibalism.

In the entire village, more than ten people have been eaten by the cannibal.

It was no use reporting to the authorities. The government was busy suppressing refugee uprisings and had no control over a small village.

We have invited good men to catch ghosts before, but the good men who came were also killed by the man-eating ghosts.

Don't leave home after midnight, this is also a lesson those heroes learned with their blood.

Chen Mu silently memorized this rule in his heart.

After midnight in Daohuaxiang Village, you cannot leave the house! The man-eating evil spirit is very strong after midnight, and you can only deal with it during the day.

Chen Mu asked, "Village Chief, do you know where the man-eating evil spirit usually hides during the day?"

The village chief shook his head. "We don't know this, so we're asking you guys to help us."

After dinner, Chen Mu and his companions got important information from the village chief.

First, there is the rule that you can’t go out at midnight;

Secondly, it looks like a cannibal, with a red cloth on its head and a pair of red shoes on its feet.

After dinner, the village chief arranged accommodation for everyone.

The residence was located in the village's woodshed, and there lived an old man in his sixties.

The woodshed is a yard. The old man lives in one room, and there are four rooms left, which is just enough for seven players to live in.

"Everyone has come from far away, so go to bed early. There are two people in a room, so you can divide it among yourselves," said the village chief.

Since all the rooms are for two people, and since the village chief said so, the players naturally began to look for partners.

The young couple naturally lived in the same room. The charming girl looked at Jiao Chonge and took the initiative to ask to live in the same room with Jiao Chonge.

Jiao Chong'e naturally and subconsciously refused to live with a woman.

But what the woman said made sense. She felt that among the remaining men, only Jiao Chonge was the most reliable, and she pitifully wanted to live with him.

Chen Muze lived with the man with glasses, and in the end only the fat man was left.

After the village chief sent a few people there, he left and returned to his own yard.

The players gathered together and began to discuss the current situation.

"Why do you think the man-eating monster looks like that?" Jiao Chong'e asked first.

"What does it look like? Didn't the village chief say that no one has ever seen its appearance?" The charming girl was puzzled.

Chen Mu said: "What he meant was why the man-eating evil spirit had a red cloth on his head and red shoes on his feet."

Jiao Chong'e nodded and analyzed:

“From what I know, the weirdness in the weird scenes is either very scary or dressed very strangely.

There's no need to talk about the horror. It's normal to be scared. There's nothing much to say.

But the weird and strange dress is worth pondering.

It looks like a cannibalistic monster, with a red cloth on its head and red shoes on its feet. Its dress is very abnormal among the monsters.

The unusual dress must be conveying some information to us.

So what do you think the red cloth and red shoes convey? Maybe there are some evil weaknesses in them.”

Jiao Chong'e's words won the approval of the players.

Chen Mu glanced at Jiao Chonge. This uncle was quite capable and should be an elite in the Storm Defense Line.

Chen Mu also thought of the cannibal's weird costume, and he was also thinking about the meaning behind it.

The players fell into deep thought and no one spoke for more than ten seconds.

“Red is rarely seen in rural areas and only appears in certain occasions.

Generally speaking, red cloth and red shoes only appear at weddings." Chen Mu expressed his judgment.
