The boss is back and she doesn’t pretend to be a fake daughter anymore
Chapter 701 Not a ghost, nor a human
It was just getting dark.
Every family in the village started cooking.
One of the families prepared the meal and took a large porcelain bowl. First, they filled a bowl full of rice, and then put vegetables and meat on the rice.
The male host muttered, "Why did you spread such a big bowl today?"
The aunt who was responsible for picking up the food glanced at him and said, "Baoshan didn't eat in the pit this morning. Why don't you have more for dinner?"
As she spoke, she couldn't help but look outside the yard, still wondering.
It's already dark, why hasn't Baoshan come over yet?
Did you forget that her family is cooking the food today?
……
Baoshan, who was worried about his aunt, was leading Jiang Xuxu and his party through the village towards the mountains behind the village.
Lu Nanxing looked at Baoshan walking very fast in front of him and couldn't help but wonder,
"Is the village guard so powerful now? First he saw through the fox's body at a glance, and now he can even see the spirit body, and he can follow him back..."
Jiang Xuxu also looked at Baoshan in front of him and said,
"Probably, he is special."
As she said this, her feet suddenly hit a piece of thin ice, and she staggered slightly. A hand immediately stretched out from beside her to hold her steady.
Chu Beihe withdrew the hand holding her arm, turned to pull her wrist, and said in a deep voice,
"The road up the mountain is slippery, hold me."
Lu Nanxing clicked her tongue as she watched. Next to her, Hua Sui, who had been acting as the backdrop, thought for a moment, followed Chu Beihe's example and reached out to her,
"I'll hold it for you."
Lu Nanxing:......
Just when he wanted to teach Hua Sui not to learn everything, he heard Jiang Xuxu say,
"It's really better to hold hands."
She said, "We seem to have entered a maze, be careful not to get separated."
Lu Nanxing grabbed Hua Sui without saying a word.
Seeing Hu Lizhi alone, he grabbed her with his backhand.
Jiang Xuxu and Chu Beihe held hands and walked at the back, expecting to enter some weird place next.
But he didn't expect that a few lights went out in front of him, and it turned out to be another village.
Compared with the modern buildings in Huabian Village, this village looks more ancient, with bluestone pavement, tiled houses with flying eaves, and lanterns hanging in front of each house.
The entire village is shrouded in misty darkness. At first glance, it feels like you have strayed into a mountain village from another era.
In fact, the appearance of this village is indeed unusual.
According to the footsteps of a few people, it only took about half an hour to walk up the mountain. There was such a different style of village so close, and the director of the village office had not even mentioned it.
Jiang Xuxu's first reaction was - a ghost village.
But if you feel it carefully, it doesn't look like it.
As if he heard some noise, a man came out of a house at the entrance of the village. He saw many strangers at once, his expression was obviously a little surprised.
"Baoshan, why are you here so late? And you brought so many people with you?"
The other party obviously knew Baoshan, but he was subconsciously wary of the people following Baoshan.
Baoshan just smiled silly and murmured,
"Yuyu, look for Yuyu."
The villager didn't seem to care much about his appearance. He glanced at Jiang Xuxu and his party and seemed to understand, "She is not in the village today."
Suddenly, his eyes turned to Chu Beihe. I don't know if it was a misunderstanding, but the man's eyes clearly lit up.
Jiang Xuxu subconsciously held Chu Beihe's hand.
She had not forgotten that Chu Beihe's golden physique attracted strange things inexplicably.
Chu Beihe sensed her alertness and only gently shook her hand to express comfort.
"He is a distinguished guest."
As the man spoke, the defensiveness on his face suddenly became much less guarded. He turned his head and actually shouted to a house at the other end of the village,
"Village Chief! Village Chief! The guests are coming with the mountain in their arms!"
Lu Nanxing's sudden change of attitude made Lu Nanxing feel a little nervous and couldn't help but get closer to Jiang Xuxu.
"Xuxu, are we being taken into some living corpse village again?"
The last person to greet them so warmly was the villagers from Lijia Village who wanted to take them home and raise them for food.
Jiang Xuxu was not sure at the moment and could only whisper,
"Let's take a look first."
Following the man's call, many more people came out of the village.
They were holding lanterns in their hands, and what was even more surprising was that all of them were wearing ancient costumes.
Some were wearing cloaks or jackets. Just looking at their appearance, they didn't look like ordinary villagers at all.
Lu Nanxing only felt that his eyesight went dark.
"It's over, it's over. This village is definitely not normal. It might be some kind of ghost village."
Jiang Xuxu stared at it for a long time and only said:
"Not a ghost."
Seeing Lu Nanxing and Hu Lizhi looking at her expectantly, Jiang Xuxu pursed her lips and added, "But they are not human either."
Lu Nanxing:......
Might as well be a ghost.
Soon, the village chief came over and didn't think anything of the group entering the village at night. He heard that they were looking for someone and just said,
"It's getting late now, so why not take a rest in the village first? If you need anything, we'll talk about it tomorrow morning."
As he said that, he looked specifically at Chu Beihe,
"This distinguished guest will stay at my place."
Subconsciously, Jiang Xuxu pulled Chu Beihe and said to the village chief, "Let's go together."
Now that she knew something was wrong with the village, she naturally couldn't let her family live alone in a villager's house.
When the village chief heard this, he looked at the two of them strangely at first, then stared at them for a long time, and finally smiled with understanding.
"It turns out that the two of you are husband and wife. I didn't think it through properly. It's right. It's right to live together."
With that said, he turned around with a smile and greeted them into the village.
The families in the village were not big, so it was impossible to arrange them into one family, so Jiang Xuxu asked Hu Lizhi, Lu Nanxing and Hua Sui to live together.
Although he didn't know what was going on in the village, Huasui was immortal and could protect the two of them in time if anything happened.
Jiang Xuxu gave Lu Nanxing and the others another photo charm so that they could see each other's situation in time.
The village chief didn't pay much attention to their actions.
After the arrangements were made, the person was taken home.
The village chief's house is not big. It looks a bit old from the outside, but it has a bit of ancient charm inside.
Looking across some of the furnishings in the room, Jiang Xuxu vaguely thought of something and subconsciously looked at Chu Beihe.
Chu Beihe nodded, but neither of them spoke.
Going upstairs, the village chief arranged two rooms for them.
Jiang Xuxu subconsciously thought that she and Chu Beihe were allowed to live in a room alone, but she heard the village chief say,
"You two are husband and wife, so we'll live in the bigger room, and this smaller room will be given to this girl."
He said it in an ordinary way, but Jiang Xuxu looked slightly stern, and Yu Ling couldn't help being surprised.
"Can you see me?!"
She is now in a spiritual state.
Even if she hugs the mountain, the village chief can actually see her?
When the village chief heard what she said, his expression was a bit baffling.
"You are so big, how can you not see? Let's have a good rest tonight. If anything happens, we'll talk about it at dawn."
After the village chief finished speaking, he went downstairs.
Jiang Xuxu watched the other party leave, and then led Yu Ling and Chu Beihe into the house first. As soon as he entered the house, Yu Ling couldn't help but screamed in a low voice,
"Something's wrong, Master Jiang, something is wrong here!"
However, before she could finish speaking, Jiang Xuxu's cell phone rang suddenly. Seeing that it was a video call from Lu Nanxing, she answered it without hesitation.
As soon as the call was connected, the one from Lu Nanxing started barking.
"Xuxu, something is wrong with this village!"
"I know."
"you do not know!"
Lu Nanxing interrupted Jiang Xuxu's words, her baby face was extremely excited, "You don't know what kind of bed this family has prepared for Hua Sui?!"
As she said that, the direction of the camera suddenly turned, and what she saw in the room behind her was...
A coffin.
