Metaphysics Live Room: The host is the contract husband

Xu Mi swallowed hard, trying to look away, and whispered, "This village is very strange. Why are you eating randomly? What if it's a trick?"

Wang Hao glanced at Su Chen and said with conviction: "No, my brother said it's edible, then it must be edible. He won't lie to me."

"Well, the ones growing on the fruit trees at the foot of this apple mountain are indeed edible. I picked some for you too. Let's have one each."

"Wow, Brother Su, you are so loyal."

Soon the village chief and his family came out. Su Chen greeted them with a smile: "Grandpa, are you going to fetch water? I'll help you. I just saw an apple tree at the foot of the mountain and picked some to eat."

"I don't know whose apple tree this is. I want to buy some and how much it costs. These Aksu apples are so sweet and the quality is amazing."

When the old man heard this, his eyes became more loving and proud: "That's right, this is a variety that I, old man, have spent several years cultivating."

"You don't know, our village used to have a lot of business. When the apples were ripe, there were many vendors' carts at the entrance of the village, and it was very lively with people coming and going."

"See that cement road? It was paved with money donated by our villagers. It's the first of its kind in the surrounding area. Our village used to be so prosperous, but I don't know when it became deserted."

Su Chen walked to the well to fetch water, and his eyes flashed when he heard this.

The old man came over and whispered, "Young man, go to the foot of the mountain and see if you see anyone from the village. Since you are from outside, do you know where everyone in our village has moved to?"

"Grandpa, you've been in the village all this time. I don't know when the villagers moved away or why they moved away."

Xu Mi came over and asked doubtfully.

The old man was stunned for a moment, his eyes a little dazed. "Yes, I am the village chief, how could I not know? It's strange that I can't remember when they moved away."

"Those vendors haven't come yet. Our apples are so delicious. Why haven't they come? Why haven't they come?"

Seeing this, Xi Qingyun hurried over with a somewhat unfriendly look in his eyes: "Don't ask, my dad has some Alzheimer's disease and can't remember a lot of things."

"Don't provoke him, or I won't be polite to you. Just ask me if you have any questions."

After sending the people into the house, Xi Qingyun felt more and more that these ghosts could not be kept, and he had to scare them away tonight.

"The villagers left ten years ago. Who knows what happened? One after another, they said it was haunted. Gradually, the village was deserted."

Xu Mi wanted to ask something, but Su Chen pulled his arm and said with a smile, "Come on, Brother Xu, help me fetch some water."

"Oh, okay."

In the afternoon, a few of us went out for a walk, enjoying the scenery in the mountains, breathing the fresh air, and feeling refreshed.

It's getting dark

The five people fell asleep and had a strange dream. In the dream, there was a huge fire burning. They were like spectators, unable to stop it and could only watch.

Listening to the crackling sounds and people's screams, I tried hard to wake up, but it was as if I was trapped and couldn't wake up.

In Su Chen's dream, he was standing outside the yard, watching the fire burning. A little boy of a few years old came out, crying and shouting for people to put out the fire, but by the time the villagers had put out the fire, the fire had already been put out.

He smiled strangely where no one could see him, and his arms were bulging, as if he was hiding something.

The fire burned all night, and the scenes in front of his eyes flashed by quickly. The little boy went to the town and met a man in the woods, a... bald man?

Later, the little boy entered the store, and when he came out, there was a lot more money in his bag. Su Chen wanted to continue watching, but as the sky brightened, the picture disappeared quickly.

Several people opened their eyes and looked at each other.

They all said in unison: "Fire!"

Xu Mi's heart tightened. "You guys too, I also dreamed of a fire, and I also dreamed that the village chief's family was burned to death. Who was that little boy?"

Wang Hao confirmed, "He's an adopted son. I've heard some news here. It's said that the village chief's son and daughter-in-law haven't had a child for many years, so the village chief's family was kind enough to take in an orphan as their adopted son."
