"Let's live here first." The village chief stood in the yard and said, "This house was originally built by a rich man who came to the village to seek refuge. After the rich man died, no one lived here. Ask a few villagers to help you clean up, and you can just make do with it for a few days, anyway, it’s only a few days before the celebration.”

After speaking, the village chief selected a few villagers who were peeking behind the screen wall and asked them to help clean the yard.

The villagers who had been named came out from behind the screen wall with strange expressions, as if they were reluctant, but they still did not protest.

"It's all gone, let's go." After counting the people, the village chief waved to the villagers who were still blocking the door, and drove away: "There is nothing to see, let's go home!"

After several times of blasting, the villagers outside the door left very reluctantly.

While the villagers were cleaning the yard, Ning Zishan wanted to help several times, but was rejected by the villagers.

The village chief smiled and said that they were all guests, and there was no reason for the host to ask the guests to work. In the end, everyone had to give up and watched the villagers busy in the yard.

Although each of these villagers looked skinny and frail, they worked very quickly. They cleaned up the garbage in the yard in a short while, and packed out the rooms that could accommodate eight people. .

"From now on, you should take a good rest here first." The village head said with a smile: "I will call someone to bring you dinner in the evening."

After the village chief left, the eight briefly introduced each other and began to divide the room.

The entire courtyard is in the shape of a "concave". They roughly looked at it. There are three relatively large main rooms that can accommodate people, and two smaller side rooms. I don't like to live in the same room with others, so I first chose a smaller wing room and left the courtyard.

Afterwards, the remaining two girls and two men also quickly chose two big rooms, and finally only Ning Zishan, Ke Xu and the shrinking middle-aged man named Ren Daoyi were left in the yard.

I don't know what the middle-aged man did before they came, but Ning Zishan always felt that other people didn't look at him very kindly, and they obviously rejected him when they were separated.

Seeing that everyone in the yard was about to leave, Ren Daoyi, who obviously didn't want to live alone, immediately panicked. He sneaked a glance at Ke Xu from the corner of his eye, then at Ning Zishan, and after some consideration, he turned to Ning. Zishan stretched out his hand and said, "That... can I..."

Before he could say anything, Ke Xu gave him a warning look. Ren Daoyi was so frightened that he swallowed his saliva with a "Gudong", and swallowed the second half of the sentence along with the saliva Back to the stomach.

Ke Xu patted Ning Zishan on the shoulder affectionately: "Let's go, go and see how the room here is."

Ning Zishan nodded, looked at Ren Daoyi strangely, followed Ke Xu to the main room closest to the gate, and Ren Daoyi mumbled dissatisfied faintly from behind.

Ning Zishan couldn't help asking: "What happened to Ren Daoyi? You don't seem to like him very much."

Ke Xu looked down at him with a half-smile, and said flatly, "He is wicked."

"Ah?" Ning Zishan was stunned for a moment, and suddenly understood something. He poked Ke Xu with his elbow, and said displeasedly, "Don't be kidding, I'm asking you seriously, what is the relationship between you before entering the village?" what happens?"

"Actually, it's nothing." Ke Xu rubbed his ribs that hurt from Ning Zishan's poking with his hands, and then told Ning Zishan about what happened before they met.

It turned out that when the group met outside the village, the man named Ren Daoyi was a real estate developer in the real world. Because he didn't believe that he was in another world, he insisted that they were human traffickers who wanted to deceive him and extort money. After crying and yelling but found that no one was paying attention to him, he actually grabbed a stone from the ground and wanted to attack You Shiting, but was beaten up by the other party.

"No wonder..." Ning Zishan teased after listening, "You lost a chance to be a hero to save the beauty."

"I can't save all 'beauties'." Ke Xu pinched Ning Zishan's earlobe while saying, "Besides, I don't think she is as beautiful as you."

"..." Ning Zishan patted his hand away: "Sometimes I really doubt your aesthetics. Also, please use the word 'handsome' to describe me next time, thank you."

"Heh..." Ke Xu chuckled.

While talking, the two of them had arrived at the door of the last main room. Because the door had just been cleaned and the door hadn't been closed, there was still fine dust floating in the air, which was a bit choking.

Because it is an old house, the windows are still covered with yellowed oil paper, the lighting is not very good, the light in the room is very dark, and there is a damp and cold feeling that has not been popular for a long time.

The room is divided into two rooms, inside and outside. The outside room is smaller. There is a pear wood round table with three round stools beside the table. There is an oil lamp and a box of matches on the table. There is no electricity in the village. The oil lamp used to illuminate them at night seemed to have been put aside for a long time, the wick was dusty, and the lamp oil inside was also dusty, black and greasy, Ning Zishan even doubted whether this thing could really be lit at night.

There is a large wooden bed in the room. The pink curtains hanging beside the bed have basically turned into pink-gray rags. In addition to the bed, there is a wardrobe and a dressing table. The mirror on the dressing table has long since disappeared. , only an oval outline remained, and it seemed that this room should have been the boudoir of some woman.

It was said to be cleaning, but in fact it was just sweeping the dust on the floor and the table casually, and re-covered the bedding on the bed. Ning Zishan saw that there was still a thick layer of dust on window frames, dressing tables, corners and the like.

Ke Xu wiped it on the side of the bed casually, and there was a black patch on his fingertips.

"These people are really perfunctory." Ke Xu said dissatisfied.

"I'll go get some water and wipe it again." Ning Zishan took out a wooden basin from the room and said, "I just saw that their water comes from the back of the front hall, which is probably the backyard, there should be a mouth well."

"I'll go with you." Ke Xu took the wooden basin from Ning Zishan's hand: "We just came here and are not familiar with everything. You go to the backyard by yourself. If you encounter something, even help No one, I don't worry."

So the two walked through the front hall together, and they saw a backyard surrounded by blue bricks. The yard was not big, and it was much barren than the front yard, covered with waist-deep weeds.

The two saw a well in the corner of the backyard. The grass from the door to the edge of the well was trampled down, forming a green and fresh path that could be passed by one person, which should have been stepped on by the previous villagers.

Ning Zishan followed Ke Xu and walked towards the well. When he lowered his head, his peripheral vision inadvertently glanced into the grass, as if there was something glowing.

It was a very soft light, not quite like metal, so Ning Zishan squatted down, parted the grass, and found a pearl earring in the gap between the grass roots.

Although the pearls of the earrings were stained with a lot of dirt, they still couldn't cover up their brilliance, so Ning Zishan couldn't help picking them up.

"What's the matter?" Ning Zishan, who was following behind, suddenly became silent. Ke Xu turned around and saw him squatting on the ground picking grass.

Ning Zishan stood up, walked up to Ke Xu and showed him the earring in his palm: "I just picked it up in the grass."

"The color is good." Ke Xu tilted his head to look at it, and then said: "Just pretend, maybe it will be useful in the future."

So Ning Zishan put the earrings into his jacket pocket.

After the two finished fetching water and cleaned the room again, the sun had already started to set.

At this moment, a sharp female voice suddenly came from the yard, calling out loudly: "Young man, little girl, come out to eat, I'll bring you food."

Ning Zishan poked his head out and saw a tall, thin woman in a very old-fashioned calico dress, holding a big bamboo basket in her hand, and walked towards the front hall while greeting her.

Soon other people also came out of the room and walked into the front hall.

The aunt carried a bamboo basket through the front hall to a table of the Eight Immortals, lifted the white cloth covering it, took out a few bowls from the basket and placed them on the table, and greeted Ning Zishan and the others with a smile: "Come on, let's eat."

Everyone standing outside the door looked at me and looked at you, all hesitant, but Ke Xu walked through the crowd very unceremoniously, walked to the table, took out a long bench and sat down, glanced at the dishes on the table, frowned slightly and said : "It's all meat..."

Seeing that Ke Xu was seated, the rest of the people also sat down at the table one by one. Ning Zishan sat next to Ke Xu and saw a large bowl of rice, a plate of small pickles, and two bowls of meat on the table.

It’s really two bowls of meat. It seems to be cut into slices and boiled with water. There are no seasonings or other side dishes in it. The meat is light pink and covered with a layer of translucent starch. It looked very smooth and tender, and it smelled very fragrant. It was a meaty smell that Ning Zishan had never smelled before.

"It smells so good!" Ren Daoyi sniffled as soon as he sat down, staring at the two pots of meat and asked, "What kind of meat is this? Why don't I seem to have seen it before?"

The aunt said in a rather proud tone: "This is unique meat in our village, of course you have never seen it before."

However, Ning Zishan found that since his aunt put the meat on the table, he had never left his eyes from the two pots of meat. He looked like he was about to drool when he wanted to eat it, and his eyes gleamed.She smacked her lips and urged: "Eat it quickly, this meat is delicious, and you can't get it anywhere else."

Although the aunt said so, but faced with such two pots of meat of unknown ingredients, coupled with her greedy gaze like a drug addict, how could the eight of them dare to chopsticks, and some of them were timid. It becomes difficult to see.

At this moment, You Shiting said, "Auntie, you haven't had dinner yet, have you? Would you like to sit down and have something together?"

"No, you eat, you eat, this is specially made by the village chief to entertain you, how can I eat the food of the guests." Although the aunt said that she would not eat, her body was very honest. Ting sat down next to her and swallowed.

You Shiting was squeezed to the side by her, her eyes showed a little displeasure, but she still persuaded: "Let's eat together, a meal needs more people to eat together to make it taste good, doesn't it?"

After listening to You Shiting's words, the aunt suddenly twisted her neck and glanced at her. The movement was like an old machine that hadn't been oiled for a long time, slow and stiff. In a defensive posture, the aunt grinned.

"Really?" The aunt looked at her and said, "Then I won't be polite!"

After speaking, he picked up a pot of meat, didn't even use chopsticks, grabbed the pink and tender meat slices with his hands, and stuffed them into his mouth hungrily.

For a while, almost everyone was frightened by the aunt, and stared at her dumbfounded.

But it didn't take long, following the aunt's movements, the strange smell of meat seemed to be magnified several times in an instant, and it began to drill into everyone's nostrils like an undercurrent.

This is really a very indescribable fragrance. If I have to say it, just smelling it will make people move their index fingers.

At first, Ning Zishan was intimidated by his aunt's eating appearance, but at this moment, he gradually came up with the idea that the meat seemed really delicious, and he really wanted to taste it.

Obviously, he was not the only one present here who felt this way. After a while, Ning Zishan heard several loud swallowing sounds.

"This meat..." Ning Zishan heard Ren Daoyi mutter in a low voice: "It looks really delicious."

The aunt burped after eating a pot of meat like a storm, and then showed an expression of satisfaction and reluctance.She raised her hand and wiped her greasy mouth with her sleeve, finally moved her eyes away from the meat, looked up at the guests around her, and said with an embarrassed expression: "You all look at me, eat quickly, eat quickly ah!"

Ren Daoyi has long been tempted by the smell of meat, he is holding the chopsticks, his face is full of yearning for meat, but he still hesitates whether to be the first to move the chopsticks.

What happened earlier has made him the least popular in the team. Although he is timid, he is not stupid, and he has seen the abnormality here. Before everything is confirmed, he does not want to give himself any more Added negative impression points, so after some inner battles, I finally endured my greed and didn't do anything.

The aunt waited for a while, and seeing that they still didn't move their chopsticks, she stood up and said, "Are you embarrassed to eat while I'm here? Then I'll leave first, so I won't disturb your meal."

After finishing speaking, the aunt turned around and walked out, but just as she reached the door, she turned back again, half of her body leaned out from Ning Zishan's side like a ghost, and Ning Zishan was startled silently.

Immediately afterwards, everyone heard her lower her voice, and said mysteriously: "Since I have eaten your food, I will give you a piece of advice - never go out of the house at night, no matter what you see or hear, remember, Don't go out!"
