After relying on the motherland, my supermarket has become more and more prosperous.

Jiang Wanwan circulated her internal energy and covered her ears with it so that she could hear more carefully the discussions of the people outside the door.

Yes, through the conversation between those people, she was certain that they were ordinary humans.

Jiang Wanwan listened carefully and analyzed useful information from it.

First of all, it can be confirmed that they are on the road to a place called Lancheng.

Then, Lancheng is not far from the supermarket, and it takes about an hour to walk there.

However, modern people are used to saying "hours", but they say "hours". Could it be that the current world is set in ancient times?

Finally, these people did not dare to travel after dark and were afraid to spend the night in the wild, probably because of the existence of ghosts.

More importantly, these people all mentioned evil in their words.

Obviously, ghosts are no secret in this world, and ordinary people also know and fear evil ghosts.

After knowing that the people coming were ordinary people and getting some information from them, Jiang Wanwan's mood suddenly became good.

Of course, she might have been happier if these people hadn't mistaken the supermarket for a haunted house.

Jiang Wanwan looked at these people. After walking to a place not far from the supermarket, they hesitated to move forward and couldn't help feeling a little anxious.

If the person she had waited for so long was scared away like this, she would really cry!

Fortunately, there was a decisive person among these people. After making up his mind, he supported the woman beside him and walked towards the ancient tree beside him.

Seeing this, the other people who were there also followed hesitantly in twos and threes, but they didn't even look back at the supermarket while walking, and they all deliberately stayed away from it.

This thousand-year-old tree is on the right front side of the supermarket, about ten meters in diameter away from the supermarket.

Seeing this group of people coming under the ancient tree, they let the old, young, sick and weak sit down to rest, while the remaining ten or so young and strong men were busy bending down to pick up nearby dead branches to make a fire.

Inside the supermarket, Jiang Wanwan couldn't help but hesitate. Should she speak up and say hello? Would that scare them?

Or should we wait a little longer, until they have a break and a chance to catch their breath? Perhaps they'll be able to endure it better psychologically?

Oh, the environment where the supermarket is located, the added bonus of it being after dark, and the well-known evilness of this world.

These bugs are stacked one by one...

Jiang Wanwan is obviously most afraid of ghosts, but at this moment she has to rack her brains to think of how to prevent others from thinking of her as a ghost.

After thinking hard for a long time, I couldn't come up with any effective solution.

Until one moment, Jiang Wanwan suddenly stopped worrying.

Under the thousand-year-old tree, those people picked up a bunch of dead branches, started a fire first, and then went to look for dead branches so that the fire could last longer.

Most of the young people went to the right side of the ancient tree to look for the dead branches. As more people came to look for them, all the dead branches were picked up, so they could only continue to look for them outside.

A somewhat thin young man looked to the right side of the ancient tree. There were many people and they were getting farther and farther away from the fire. He then looked to the left side of the ancient tree. There were many scattered dead branches, but no one was picking them up.

He hesitated, and finally walked to the left, which was closer to the supermarket.

The number of dead branches in his hands increased, and the frail young man was filled with joy as he thought the fire would burn until dawn and the child would not shiver in the night cold.

He gradually forgot his fear of the supermarket and got closer and closer to it along the dead branches scattered on the ground.

Until one moment, he noticed something blocking the way ahead and raised his head to take a look.

"what……"

At this moment, the sky had completely darkened, but because the distance was close enough, the faint light radiated from the distant fire could be seen.

The thin young man almost saw a human-like figure in the room in front of him as he raised his eyes.

With his mind blank, he screamed subconsciously. The trembling cry echoed far away in the dark night and attracted his companions in the distance.

"what happened?"

"What happened?"

"Who's calling?"

The young and middle-aged people who went to pick up dead branches rushed back to their relatives as soon as possible and looked towards the place where the sound came from.

"Shuanzi, why did you go over there? Come back quickly!"

"Shuanzi, what's your name? Is there anything in that room?"

"Come back soon, who told you to go there?"

After everyone saw the situation clearly, they were shocked and stood there shouting, but no one dared to take a step forward.

The thin young man named Shuanzi knew in his heart that he should run away at this time and run back to the crowd.

Even if you may not be able to escape danger in the end, you will always feel more at ease being with your family and friends.

However, at this moment, he knew in his heart that his hands and feet could not move at all. He wanted to retreat, but his feet would not obey him!

Why? Why can't I move? Shuanzi's face and eyes were filled with fear.

Could that figure inside really be evil? Was he frozen in time? Was he going to be eaten?

Seeing that Shuanzi was frightened and stood there without daring to move, his companions under the ancient tree became even more anxious.

In the end, it was the young man who had walked towards the ancient tree first. He patted the hand of the woman beside him soothingly, and then strode towards the supermarket amid the concerned, fearful, and expectant gazes of the crowd.

It was not until Shuanzi, whose whole body was stiff, was grabbed by the young man who was walking towards him and staggered backward that Shuanzi finally reacted.

Oh, it turns out that he was not immobilized by the evil spirit and could not move, but was frightened silly and dared not move!

As soon as the young man strode forward, everyone had already held their breath, waiting nervously and quietly.

As he retreated quickly, the pile of dead branches in Shuanzi's hands fell to the ground, becoming the only sound around him.

However, no one cared about that. All of their attention was focused on the dark interior of the supermarket.

Compared to the people under the ancient tree behind them, the young man and Shuanzi could obviously see the situation inside more clearly.

I noticed that the figure inside started to move and seemed to be walking towards the outside.

Shuanzi's eyes widened, and his feet became increasingly stiff as he moved backward, almost tripping.

The young man next to him had his muscles becoming increasingly tense. Seeing that he couldn't pull the bolt, he simply stopped where he was and stood in front with a serious expression.

And the figure that caused this riot and was so feared by them.

Jiang Wanwan, who was originally in deep thought, was startled by Shuanzi's cry, and knew that the meeting could not be avoided.

He could only move forward slowly and stand at the entrance of the supermarket, looking embarrassed as he whispered to comfort everyone.

"Don't be nervous, I'm not evil!"
