Strange talk live room

"It's not good if I go up there so rashly."

I looked at the bright fifth floor and touched my chin.

"It's better to find a kind-hearted villager first and find out the details of Xiajin Village."

“As a local resident, it is only natural that we provide some help to guests coming from afar.”

My eyes swept through the grids on the cave wall.

After the three villagers led the fat old man and his group to the fifth floor, they took their heads back one after another and went back to their rooms.

Overall the population is not large.

There should be no more than fifty people in total, up and down.

The first floor has the fewest people.

I plan to start from the first floor and look for a villager who is enthusiastic about hospitality.

"I wonder which villager is so lucky?"

I led the two cats, quietly ran into the entrance, followed the stone stairs, and reached the first floor in a few steps.

The principle of proximity.

I chose the nearest room to the left of the stone staircase.

Quickly walked through the corridor and came to the entrance of the house.

There was no door, and the room was wide open to me.

The lights inside have been extinguished, but with the faint light refracted from outside, you can see a stone bed inside.

There was a person lying on the bed, covered with a shabby quilt.

"Lao Jiu, go back to your room quickly. I have no intention of chatting with you today. I have to work tomorrow morning."

The man on the bed muttered.

He mistook me for any other villager.

These houses don't even have doors, so anyone can enter at will.

I walked over quickly and sat on the edge of the bed.

"Brother, why don't you sleep? The nightlife has just begun. Let's have a good chat."

"What about nightlife, Lao Jiu?"

The person on the bed suddenly realized that the sound was wrong, sat up suddenly, and widened his eyes in the darkness.

"You, who are you?"

Before he could scream, I had already pulled out a dagger and put it on his neck.

"Keep your voice down, we are chatting, not arguing." I said with a friendly smile.

"You are from outside!" The man trembled and looked at me. There was less fear in his eyes and more confusion.

"Aren't all the guests invited upstairs by Third Brother and the others? Why don't you go up?"

"I came out to wander around and accidentally disturbed your sleep. I'm really sorry." I said.

"You are a guest. You can do whatever you want. I should greet you. I'm not going to sleep. You can talk about whatever you want."

The man laughed, stretched out his hand and pushed my knife away, looking very sincere.

This time it was my turn to be surprised.

Isn’t this underground village exclusive at all?

Is it true, as Captain Xing said, that they are simple-minded and kind-hearted?

"What the hell is this place?" In this case, I won't be polite.

"Of course it's our village, ours is called Jincun." The man said honestly, "We people have lived here for many years."

"Everyone here has the surname Jin. I am the eleventh child, so my name is Jin Eleven."

"And you, guest, what is your name?"

I said: "Other people call me Boss Li."

"Oh, Boss Li, what a good name! It's not like here, where the names are all based on size, and none of them have real names."

Jin Shiyi smiled enviously.

His expression was honest and sincere, and it was hard to tell whether he was joking or not.

However, judging from his appearance, he is younger than the three villagers who led the way before.

"How many people are there in your village and how many years have they lived here?" I asked again.

"We men are already ranked 29th. Including women, there are probably more than 30 people." Jin Shiyi counted on his fingers.

"I don't know how many years I have lived. Anyway, I have been here since I can remember it."

"Did you grow up here?"

"I don't know, guest, I just told you that when I had the impression, I was already here." Jin Shiyi scratched his head and smiled naively.

His answer was vague.

If you grew up in a village like this, language alone would be a big problem, if nothing else.

It is impossible to communicate with outsiders so freely.

I asked again: "Have you ever gone out and seen the outside world?"

"It's not good outside!" Jin Shiyi shook his head repeatedly, "There are ghosts outside! They want to eat people!"

I asked in surprise: "Ghost?"

"Yes, the ghost has sharp teeth and a long tail. As long as it is hooked by the tail, people can't run away! Guests, you can wander around and play as you like in the village, but don't run around outside!" Jin Eleven advised seriously.

"Even if you are bitten to death by a ghost, you will become a ghost!"

Aren't we talking about those rat-like monsters outside the village?

"The ghost is so fierce, that's really scary!" I said, pretending to be scared, "I heard that your village is protected by a mountain god, and the ghosts don't dare to come in. Can I go and worship the mountain god?"

"Of course you can, but now is not the time. We have to wait until tomorrow. We go to worship the mountain god every morning."

"Tomorrow? Can't it be earlier?" If it's daybreak, the day lilies will be cold.

"Hurry up, it will be dawn in a while." Jin Shiyi smiled.

"A moment?" I looked out the window. It was completely dark outside, with no trace of dawn.

Besides, there is no sun under this earth, so how can there be daylight?

Their day and night should be different from those in the normal world, and they should be used to divide the time for rest and work.

"Guest, after talking about this, you are thirsty too. I will give you a bowl of water to drink." Jin Eleven got up from the bed.

"Don't bother, I'm not thirsty."

"It's not troublesome at all. We have a rare guest this time, so we should treat you well."

Jin Shishi lit the oil lamp, and the room lit up with a dim light.

He picked up the earthenware pot and earthenware bowl from the stone table, poured me a bowl of water, and brought it over with both hands.

"Drink, guest, the water here is pure spring and sweet."

The water in the earthenware bowl is indeed clear and transparent.

"Thank you." I took the bowl but didn't drink it immediately. "Do you have many guests here?"

"Not many. There are only two people in front of you."

"What about them?"

"Some left, some stayed."

"Stay?" My heart skipped a beat.

But among those who have lived under the sun, who would be willing to stay in the dark depths of the earth?

"They left it for themselves, saying that our life is simple and comfortable, unlike the intrigues and tiring ones above." Jin Eleven stretched out his hand and pointed upward.

"What about the people who left? Have they gone home?"

"Let's just leave. We don't know whether we'll come back or not." Jin Shiyi urged, "Boss Li, don't just talk about it. How about a taste of our water."

"Okay." I lifted the bowl to my mouth and was about to drink when something suddenly sounded outside.

It made a sizzling sound, as if the claws were scratching a stone, which was very harsh.

"What is that?"

Jin Shiyi stood up, walked to the door and looked out doubtfully.

I immediately poured the water back into the jar, and when Jin Shiyi turned around and came back, I wiped my mouth.

"This water is good!"
