Tomb Raider: I have a coffin-opening crit compensation!

Chapter 97 Weird Chengyang Village!

Cheng Dalong's house and Fang Ye reunited again.

"So, did you find anything?" Fang Ye asked.

The fat man nodded seriously, "Yes, I found out that there are melons planted in this village. I just picked some. They are quite sweet. Promise, this is for you."

After speaking, he took out a few emerald green melons from his bosom, which had been cleaned thoroughly.

Speechless, Fang Ye and Hu Bayi took the melon from the fat man's hand and chewed it.

"Well, I didn't find anything behind the village, but I'm a bit confused." Hu Ba gnawed a cantaloupe and said, "Theoretically speaking, the embankment where Cheng Dalong was at that time should be within the range of Chengyang Village. It feels strange to be taken away with the villagers of Chengyang Village, but nothing happened."

"Cheng Dalong was helped by someone at the time, so he was just out of trouble. However, I found some clues in front of the village."

After Fang Ye ate the sweet melon in three mouthfuls, he told Hu Bayi and Fatty everything he had learned from the male ghost in robes.

"That's right, the water demon flooded the mountain, broke through the outer protective layer, and came into direct contact with the earth demon, which activated the golden light curtain." Hu Bayi's eyes lit up, and Fang Ye and the others said.

After hearing this, the fat man said thoughtfully, "Then, can we get in from the water? Since the water can get in, we should be able to get in if we hide in the water."

That's the reason, but how do they hide in the water?

The only way to hide the whole person in the water is to dive, but the water here is not enough for them to swim, unless the embankment is destroyed, which is even more impossible.

Fang Ye told the fat man and Hu Bayi about his considerations, but the fat man looked at him like a fool.

"Brother Ye, why don't you just stand in the rain? Isn't your whole body covered in water?" The fat man said in surprise, it's fine to get in the rain, why dive.

One word awakened the dreamer, and Fang Ye suddenly understood when he heard the fat man's words.

Fatty is right, the rain is enough.

Fang Ye quickly took out his mobile phone to confirm the weather forecast for the next few days, and found that there would be heavy rain tomorrow.

"Fatty, I really love you to death!" Fang Ye smiled and patted Fatty on the shoulder, confirming the day to visit the grave.

Soon, noon came, and Cheng Dalong brought lunch on time. On the table, Fang Ye told Cheng Dalong that they would go to visit the tomb tomorrow and asked Cheng Dalong to help them prepare some supplies.

After hearing this, Cheng Dalong was overjoyed and nodded quickly. After eating, he took the list given by Fang Ye to prepare supplies.

……

The next day, the downpour came as expected.

Cheng Dalong braved the heavy rain and brought Fang Ye their breakfast.

After Fang Ye and the others ate, under the watchful eye of Cheng Dalong, they set off slowly towards the hills against the heavy rain.

After a while, Fang Ye and the three of them came to the golden light curtain.

Just like what the robed male ghost said, the torrential rainwater continuously flowed into the golden light curtain, and bits of black air also escaped from the light curtain.

Fang Ye and the three of them braved the torrential rain and walked quickly into the light curtain, covered in rain, for fear that they would be blocked by the light curtain if they slowed down.

Fortunately, nothing happened, Fang Ye and the others entered the light curtain smoothly.

After stepping into it, the three of them quickly changed out of their soaked clothes and put them in storage rings for storage, which might be useful later.

After repairing for a while, several people looked at the surrounding environment.

Just like the scene seen outside, there was another Chengyang Village in the light curtain, with exactly the same layout.

From the entrance to the end of the village, even the lake in front of the village is exactly the same.

"Are you from outside?" An old man walked slowly with a cane.

"It's raining heavily outside. The three of us brothers came here to avoid the rain. If there is any disturbance, please ask my father Haihan." Fang Ye said with a smile.

It's not clear what the villagers' position is, and they can't reveal their purpose.

"Well, please sit down in the village, and I'll ask the people in the village to make you some hot soup to warm your lower body." The old man said with a smile.

Fang Ye and the others looked at each other without any objection. They followed the old man and walked slowly into the village.

Chengyang Village inside the light curtain is far more lively than Chengyang Village outside. There are many women washing clothes by the lake, and beside the rice field not far away, groups of half-grown children are chasing Playing around.

On the edge of the rice field, there are a few old people sitting on chairs, pointing at a few naughty children and chatting about various topics in the village.

This scene looks very normal. If this scene did not exist in the light curtain in the hills, Fang Ye would definitely think that this is a very normal village.

But in this situation, the more normal Chengyang Village is, the more abnormal it is.

"Xiu'e, these three came in from the rain outside, arrange for someone to make some ginger tea for them to warm up, and help them wash their wet clothes by the way."

The old man said to a handsome woman in a red floral dress by the river from a distance.

When the woman heard the old man's words, she quickly put down the clothes at hand, and greeted her with a smile, "Elder-in-law, I'm going to make ginger tea right now."

Then, she turned to look at Fang Ye and the others, stretched out her hand and said with a smile, "I would also like to ask the guests to give me your wet clothes, and I will dry them for you."

Fang Ye's heart moved, and he wet three pieces of clothes with the rainwater stored in advance in the storage ring, took them out and handed them to Xiu'e.

But Xiu'e acted as if she didn't see it, she just stretched out her hand like that, even if Fang Ye handed it to her, she didn't hold it tightly.

Xiu'e's eyeballs kept moving, as if signaling Fang Ye and the others to leave.

The old man at the side seemed to have noticed this situation, and was about to speak when Fang Ye hurried forward and forcibly piled the wet clothes on Xiu'e's hands.

"Then please trouble sister Xiu'e and my husband. During this time, there will be a lot of trouble."

Hearing Fang Ye's words, the old man stopped his original movements, looked at Fang Ye and said with a smile, "Don't bother, don't bother, they are all hardworking people, and they should help when they meet. In this way, I will take you Go where you live."

"Xiu'e, hurry up." The old man turned his head and said to Xiu'e.

His words seemed to have magic power, Xiu'e grabbed the clothes a little stiffly, smiled at Fang Ye and the others, and walked slowly into the village.

"Then thank you, old man." Fang Ye replied with a smile, and followed the old man with Fatty and Hu Bayi, and walked into the village together.

After walking hundreds of meters, they came to a familiar place, Cheng Dalong's house, where Fang Ye and the others lived outside, was it a coincidence, or was it?

Fang Ye's eyes were a little more vigilant, ready to take out the mahogany sword at any time.

"This is a temporarily unused house in the village. The owner of the house fell into the water and died some time ago. We only have this vacant house for the time being. Please don't mind." The old man said apologetically.

Fang Ye breathed a sigh of relief, and with a smile on his face, he made a fuss. After a lot of effort, he reluctantly sent the old man away.

As soon as the old man left, the three immediately relaxed.

At this moment, there was a sudden knock on the door outside!
