Dressed as an old woman, I carry the system and my son to escape the famine

a man of his words.

Since the emperor has promised to confer honorary titles on the two of them, he will naturally not break his promise.

However, what Yao Shu was most worried about was that the minister delivering the sealing news would be blocked on the way.

If someone deliberately interferes with it, the two of them will not be able to be sealed. After arriving in the disaster area, the two of them had no right to speak.

Naturally, the local officials and people would not listen to what these two people said. By then, the Shen family would be just like the refugees, without any rights at all.

As time passed by, the Shen family had already left the capital and would soon be heading to a new place.

Yao Shu has been waiting for the system to release rewards, but there has been no movement from the system.

She couldn't help but feel a little strange and immediately took out the map.

The map shows that this is indeed a strange village. Yao Shu had no impression of this name. She had never been to this place before.

She summoned the system again, but there was still no response from the system.

Seeing that it was getting dark soon, the Shen family decided to find a hotel to rest temporarily. It happened that there was an inn not far away. Yao Shu thought that everyone would not have the energy to find a better inn after a long journey, so she might as well rest here first.

After briefly asking the Shen family for their opinions, and getting everyone's unanimous approval, she went to the inn to rest.

I just didn't expect that there were many people hidden in this small inn.

After the Shen family entered, they found that there were not many rooms left.

In order to save money, Yao Shu decided to open only two rooms.

She looked at the other three brothers and said guiltily: "I'll let the three of you squeeze in together tonight. Then we'll find a new inn environment. It will naturally be better than this one."

The three brothers didn't have any complaints. After all, when they were fleeing, they encountered many places with even worse conditions than here.

For them, compared to the refugees in the disaster area, the environment in the inn is already excellent.

It was getting late, but what they had brought was dry food, so they should not use it unless absolutely necessary.

They decided to go to a town not far away to see if there was a tavern. After all, the money they brought was enough for them to eat and drink during this time.

What I didn't expect was that this place was far inferior to the capital city.

Although it is just next to the capital, the sky has just darkened and there is no one on the street.

Shen Bei couldn't help but feel very strange: "How come they don't have anyone on the streets for a long time? Could it be that the schedule here is different from that in the capital?"

Shen Nanshan scratched his head indifferently: "Maybe people here prefer to go to bed early."

Yao Shu always felt that this place was very familiar, but she couldn't remember it for a while.

They went to a seemingly luxurious restaurant, where the waiter was drowsy.

There was not a single customer eating here in the huge restaurant, which made Yao Shu feel even more curious.

She looked at the waiter in front of her and asked, "I wonder if I can ask why you don't have a single customer here so early?"

"Are you from out of town?" The waiter asked, yawning.

Shen Nanshan nodded: "We are from Beijing..."

Before he finished speaking, Yao Shu immediately blocked his mouth.

"We are from Jingba County. I wonder if you know this place?" Yao Shu made up a random place and said.

The waiter frowned, and the expression on his face became more and more indifferent: "I don't know this place, no matter where you are from, our restaurant will not be able to continue to entertain you. After one more stick of incense, our restaurant will be It’s closed.”

"So early?" Shen Bei also felt very strange.

Logically speaking, since they are next to the capital, their schedules and customs should be similar to those in the capital.

Why did they close the shop early and return home.

Moreover, the people here dress differently, and the signs hanging around the shops can also show that the customs here are also very strange.

Several people looked at each other, not knowing what to say for a moment.

Finally, Yao Shu spoke up and said, "In that case, we won't bother you too much."

The Shen family walked around a few times and found that several other shops were similar to this restaurant, and they all agreed quickly.

After much thought, several people decided to return to the inn and simply eat some dry food they brought.

As soon as they returned to the inn, they saw the manager of the inn looking at them in panic.

After confirming that they were all safe, he breathed a sigh of relief: "Ancestors, please stop running around so late at night. What should I do if something happens?"

"It's just dark now, why are all the shops in the town closed?" Yao Shu asked softly.

At first, the manager didn't want to say too much. He hesitated for a few words, then turned around and prepared to leave.

Yao Shu knew that he knew the details, but was wary, so she was unwilling to speak out.

She winked at Shen Nanshan beside her, and Shen Nanshan immediately stepped forward and stuffed a piece of silver into the manager's hand.

The administrator weighed the money in his hand and nodded with satisfaction.

After he looked around to make sure no one was eavesdropping, he cautiously leaned over and said, "This place is not clean at night. Foreigners who came here before always saw some elusive ghosts. These ghosts only appear at specific times." Appeared. Therefore, as more and more people talked about this matter, everyone tacitly agreed to close before that time. The ancestors must not sneak out again, in case they saw that Ghost, frightened."

After saying that, the manager took the shadow and left triumphantly.

Shen Bei looked around and shrugged his neck subconsciously.

He looked at Yao Shu carefully and asked, "Mom, do you think this place is really haunted?"

"Of course it's fake. If there were really ghosts, these people wouldn't have stayed in this town for so long. And ghosts have been taboo since ancient times. These people heard ghosts floating around, but they didn't Any reaction must be a lie made up by some merchants for marketing purposes." Yao Shu said as she arranged her clothes casually.

"That's what it looks like."

Shen Bei nodded as if he understood. He had heard before that some towns would use this kind of marketing method to scare outsiders into staying in inns.

They just didn't expect that they would actually encounter this now, which really shocked them to the extreme.

"But you don't have to worry, we will leave early tomorrow morning."
