Quick Wear: Beautiful, Strong, Miserable, Whitening Guide
Chapter 137 Scam
The village chief walked in front and began to introduce the villagers hiding in the dark corners one by one.
"This is Wang Laozhang, he is an expert at farming. This is..."
Every time the village chief introduced a family, this man came out from the shadows and greeted them with a smile, but the smile on his face seemed to be copied and pasted, which was chilling.
After meeting all the villagers, Lin Ci'an noticed that the layout of the village was very strange. When entering the village from the entrance, all the houses formed a circle, as if hiding something in the middle of the village. The middle of the village was blocked by layers of houses, and it was difficult to see what was inside.
Everyone returned to the village entrance and found that the outside of the village was covered by thick fog and they could not see the way they came.
The village chief clapped his hands and shouted, "Welcome everyone to our village. I have just met all the villagers. I believe everyone feels the friendliness of the villagers. From today on, you can live in the village! But..." He changed the subject and his voice became low, "If any of you disobey, don't blame us for being rude. Now, it's getting late, everyone just follow these villagers behind me and go back to rest."
After saying that, the village chief pointed at the men who had been following him. Lin Ci'an and Chu Ziyu looked at each other, and a trace of vigilance arose in their hearts.
Six men walked out from behind the village chief and stood in front of them. The smiles on their faces became even more exaggerated, as if they were grinning from ear to ear.
"Hey, guests from the province, come to my house. I will definitely treat you with good wine and delicious food."
The tallest man among the six stood up and greeted Gao Daqiang. The other five also followed suit and began to greet everyone.
Lin Ci'an thought for a moment and said, "Village Chief, we just walked around the village and found many uninhabited houses. Can we live there?"
The village chief had an unchanging expression, but seemed to be hindered by something and did not refute. "It's OK, but that place has been abandoned for a long time and is not suitable for living. It would be much better to live in the villagers' homes..."
"No need, Village Chief. Everyone is already working hard enough. We can just clean up the mess ourselves. Or do we have to stay in the villagers' homes?"
"That's not the case. Okay, go if you want to." The village chief waved his hand and looked at him with cloudy eyes.
Although Chu Ziyu didn't know why, he naturally followed Lin Ci'an, while the other four followed four of the six men and left. Lin Ci'an knew where the abandoned house was, so he directly pulled Chu Ziyu away, leaving only two relatively thin men behind them staring at them intently.
Chu Ziyu was dragged by Lin Ci'an to an old thatched wooden house. The thatch on the roof was already sparse, the wooden walls were broken, and the glass on the windows had long been broken, covered with dust and cobwebs.
Walking into the house, an old smell hit me. The ground was covered with thick dust, and the only table and bed in the room were broken.
Lin Ci'an ignored the room and stood facing Chu Ziyu, "Why are you pretending to have lost your memory? Do you think this is some melodramatic plot from a melodramatic novel?"
Chu Ziyu's expression was stern, but he still pretended to be confused. His acting skills were so good, how could he be seen through.
Just as he guessed, Lin Ci'an was just tricking him. Lin Ci'an had been staring into his eyes and didn't notice anything unusual.
"Forget it, I'll just trust you for now."
He pushed Chu Ziyu away and started cleaning the house, and Chu Ziyu also helped.
"Xiao An, why don't we stay at the villagers' house? It's really shabby here. It's so dusty, cough... cough... cough"
Lin Ci'an felt that Chu Ziyu's IQ seemed to have dropped after losing his memory.
"Looking around this village, every household is starving. Looking in through the open windows, there are only a few pieces of furniture inside, and most of them are repaired. Their clothes are full of patches. How can they be treated to delicious food as the village chief and the men said? I'm afraid we will be treated as food if we go there. And most importantly, all the people who come out to meet people are men, there are no women. It's very strange."
"Xiao An is so smart. I love you the most."
Seeing that Chu Ziyu's eyes were all on him, Lin Ci'an blushed and ignored him, continuing to change the subject and tidy up the house. "Hurry up, hurry up, do you still want to sleep tonight?"
"it is good."
Lin Ci'an turned the bed over, intending to repair it, but found that there were words on the bottom of the board, written in red blood. Lin Ci'an read carefully, "No... I... won't marry... let me... out... sacrifice... is... a scam... I will... die"
"This is a woman's room, or rather, it is a room used to imprison women, and she is probably imprisoned for sacrifice." Chu Ziyu said from the side.
"There must be something wrong with this village. The village is hiding something." Lin Ci'an analyzed with a frown, "Let's investigate the situation tomorrow."
Chu Ziyu nodded to show his agreement.
After a while of hard work, the two finally cleaned the room. Although the conditions were simple, at least they had a place to live.
As night falls, the whole village is shrouded in darkness. It is so quiet that there is not even a sound, and it is so quiet that makes people feel uneasy.
Lin Ci'an and Chu Ziyu lay down on the repaired bed, ready to rest. However, Chu Ziyu tossed and turned and couldn't fall asleep. He always felt that there was a pair of eyes watching them in secret.
"Xiao An, I'm still a little scared." Chu Ziyu said softly.
Lin Ci'an sighed, "Don't be afraid, I'm here. Go to sleep quickly, and we'll see if there are any other clues tomorrow."
Chu Ziyu nodded and closed his eyes. Lin Ci'an also tried to fall asleep, but his mind could not calm down. This mysterious village is full of weirdness...
Suddenly, there was a slight sound of footsteps outside the door. Lin Ci'an immediately sat up and signaled Chu Ziyu to keep quiet. The footsteps were getting closer and closer, and then stopped at the door. Lin Ci'an nervously held the dagger in his hand - the Tetanus Blade (a rusty dagger found in the house in the afternoon), ready to deal with possible dangers.
They saw two figures slowly approaching. Through the cracks in the dilapidated wooden wall and with the help of moonlight, they could see their appearance clearly. They were the two relatively thin men from before, but now they could no longer be called human beings. They had turned into a big meat ball with only a face skin hanging on it.
Knock, knock, knock. "Guests from out of town, we have prepared a sumptuous dinner for you. Open the door and take it."
