"Damn, this shabby house, this shabby place..."

The village chief muttered and cursed, then turned around and went back to sleep.

Soon after he closed the door, deafening snoring sounds were heard again from inside the stone house.

"Mom, there must be something wrong with this village chief!" Jixiang said, "I swear, the time from when he got up to when he reached the door was very short, which was the time when the black shadow flashed. That is definitely not the normal speed a human should have."

"Ah, I also think there's something wrong with him." Jiang Lai said as he yawned.

I don’t know why, but in such a silent environment, it’s easy for people to feel sleepy.

"Or I'll try again. Give us another chance. We have so many pairs of eyes. If we try again, maybe we can see clearly what's going on with the village chief." Little Jixiang rubbed his hands excitedly and said eagerly.

"It's not impossible to try again. But we have to be fair and just and treat everyone equally. Jixiang, try to push down the stone on the wall of the neighbor's house next to the village chief's house." Jiang Lai thought for a moment and gave the order.

Little Jixiang agreed excitedly, and immediately took a few young ladies and took action.

At the same time, another group of young ladies did the same experiment on the other side of the village and achieved the same results.

When little Jixiang pushed a stone down, it alarmed two families at once!

Not only the village chief's neighbors, but also the village chief Tokutomi was alarmed by the noise outside!

Then, the flashing black shadows turned into three, and the opened doors also turned into three.

The number of people who were hunched over and suddenly stood up to check the situation also increased to three.

……

This experiment also confirmed some of Jiang Lai's conjectures.

In Pingguling Village, it's not just the village chief who has problems.

She guessed that most of the villagers had problems.

"Mom, that shadow was moving too fast, we still couldn't see it clearly..." Little Jixiang poked his finger and said unhappily, "Should we try again..."

"Jixiang, let me tell you, although some things are not very polite in themselves, like scolding others and then going to sleep. But we can't be as rude as him... disturbing them again and again is not good. In short, if we keep trying, it will easily alert the enemy, which will be detrimental to our next actions." Jiang Lai said.

Give children more encouragement and less criticism to avoid discouraging their enthusiasm.

Little Jixiang pouted, puffed out his chest, and promised solemnly: "Mom, don't worry, Jixiang is very powerful. Next time I will be able to help you and I will be able to see the true face of that thing!"

"Of course, our Jixiang is the best..."

The trip out just now was not completely in vain.

At least she told Lu Zhou and the others what she found in the diary, and they were lucky enough to witness the village chief performing a strange phenomenon that had never appeared in a horror movie.

The village chief Tokutomi and the middle-aged man next door stared at each other for a while, as if asking each other what happened outside tonight.

It was quiet outside. Even the strange wind that was strong enough to blow down the stones on the courtyard wall had stopped.

The two puzzled people stood in the yard for a while but found nothing, so they had to go back to the house to sleep.

Nothing happened in the second half of the night, so the nine people, including Niu Lingling, who Jiang Lai had hypnotized earlier, all slept until dawn.

The next morning, when everyone gathered together to have breakfast, all eight players were there.

They did not touch the rules of death for the time being and spent the first night safely.

A few people gathered together, built a simple stove in the yard, boiled water and cooked some instant noodles to fill their stomachs, and then went to the village chief's house.

To their surprise, the village chief and his wife were not at home.

Waiting to greet them at the village chief's house was a boy who looked to be about ten years old.

The boy looks very similar to the village chief Tokutomi.

However, compared to Tokutomi, who has rough skin, is dark and thin, this child's nutritional condition is undoubtedly much better.

Although his skin cannot be said to be very fair, it at least looks normal. There is a healthy blush on his face, and his round little face looks chubby.

It can be seen that although the village chief Tokutomi himself lived a very hard life, he raised the child very well and must have loved him very much.

When the boy from the village chief's family saw Jiang Lai and the others coming, his eyes lit up.

"You are all new teachers, right?" said the boy.

From his cheerful voice, you can tell that he is in a very happy mood at the moment.

Seeing this scene, Lu Zhou couldn't help but feel moved.

He thought that although this small village seemed economically backward, the children here had a much stronger desire for knowledge than those children who lived in big cities and sat in spacious and bright classrooms.

I guess there is no teacher who would dislike this poor kid who is thirsty for knowledge.

Lu Zhou, who originally only wanted to complete the game quickly, now actually had the desire to teach and educate people and spread knowledge.

"Little boy, aren't the village chief and his wife here?" Jiang Lai asked.

"My parents drove the oxen to the fields early in the morning." The little boy replied, "The fields in the village are a little far from where we live, so they left early. But don't worry, my father told me yesterday that he would wait for you at home today and take you to the school to teach the children in the village. The other children in the village are also waiting for you in the school."

"Really? Then let's go to the school first." Jiang Lai nodded and said.

"Okay." The little boy answered happily, jumping and leading the way.

Along the way, all the players noticed something strange.

It was clearly daytime, but the village was as quiet as a still night.

There was not a single pedestrian on the stone-paved village road.

The players exchanged glances with each other and followed the jumping little boy all the way to the location of the school that the child mentioned.

The village school is right next to the ancestral hall.

The door of the ancestral hall was closed, with a rusty lock hanging on it, as if it was a mark left by the passage of time.
