Loved By An Older Man

"A sound that only appears at night?" Jiang Yu was curious about this. "Then, other than this sound, what else? Is there anything else that's strange?"

The middle-aged man thought about it carefully again, then shook his head and said, "no, that's all. It's been strange recently."

"Okay, I got it. Thank you." Jiang Yu said and turned to leave.

However, just as she was about to leave, a rooster flew in from outside the door. The rooster ran straight at Jiang Yu and pecked her on the leg.

"Ah!" Jiang Yu screamed in pain and fell to the ground, right on the icon.

She was still wearing a pair of thin pants today. The rooster's beak was sharp and pointed, and it pecked her very hard. This caused blood to flow out of Jiang Yu's leg and the blood dripped down her calf onto the icon.

"Aiya!" Finally, the man grabbed the rooster in a panic, his face full of embarrassment. "I'm sorry," he said apologetically to Jiang Yu. "My rooster has always been like this. It will bite as soon as it sees a stranger. I've always kept it locked up. I don't know how it flew out of the cage today. I'm so sorry!"

"It's alright, it's just a small injury." The corners of Jiang Yu's mouth twitched as she felt a sharp pain in her calf.

"Wait here for a while. I'll lock the chicken up and apply the medicine for you." The middle-aged man said as he left with the rooster.

Jiang Yu intended to stand up, but as soon as she did, she saw the icon under her emitting a dark red light.

The light grew brighter and brighter until Jiang Yu had no choice but to cover her eyes.

At the same time, the ground under Jiang Yu's feet kept shaking as if something was about to come out of the ground. The strange crying that the middle-aged man had mentioned before was also getting clearer and clearer.

The middle-aged man ran in from outside in a panic. He pulled Jiang Yu's hand and ran out, shouting as he ran, "Run! It seemed like an earthquake was coming! If we don't leave now, we'll be dead!"

Jiang Yu endured the pain and followed the man. The rest of the villagers also ran out in a panic.

After running for a short while, the shaking of the ground stopped. The villagers ran to a higher Hill and looked at their houses from afar. There were no signs of collapse.

"It's a good thing the earthquake this time wasn't serious." The middle-aged man heaved a sigh of relief. "If there's nothing else later, let's all go back."

The villagers were whispering to each other while Jiang Yu kept looking in the direction of the village. Suddenly, a weirdly dressed man appeared in her line of sight.

"Who is that person?" Some of the villagers also saw the man and asked, " is he from our village? It doesn't look like it."

"He's not from our village," The middle-aged man said, "who in our village would wear such clothes? It's obviously made of high-quality cloth, so he's definitely not from our village."

Someone asked, "since he's not from our village, where did he come from?"

"Yeah, where did he come from? I've never seen him before, so where has he been hiding all this time?"

This was a question that the villagers could not understand, and Jiang Yu could not figure it out either. However, the reality did not give them the chance to figure it out, because more and more people were coming out of those houses.

".. Could it be a cellar?" Someone said, "ever since the caretakers took over this place, they changed the lock of the cellar in our house. Although they have been captured, they didn't give us the key, so we still can't open the cellar. Could it be that this group of people had been hiding in the cellar all this time? But how did they get out without the key?"

"I don't know ... There's nothing valuable in my basement, so I'm not in a hurry to look at it." Someone said, "if this group of people are really hiding in the cellar, then it explains the faint crying we heard when we were sleeping at night."

"I think we'd better leave this place as soon as possible," someone said, feeling afraid. "These people look so strange. Are they the undercover agents of the caretakers?"

As soon as he said that, the villagers became even more afraid. They couldn't care about anything else and ran away.
