Sick beauty loses horse in thriller game

It's not that she doesn't trust people.

She just didn't believe that the game copy could arrange such good treatment for her.

However, the situation here in Shanxi Village looks very strange.

If it is regarded as an auspicious sign, you may be temporarily safe.

In order to avoid making too many mistakes and let the villagers know that she was not the auspicious person they expected, and to get useful information, she thought for a while, and with an enigmatic attitude, she said: "Tell me about it." Well, how has the situation in the village been over the years?"

After hearing this, the old man suddenly became emotional.

"The village is deteriorating, and more and more people are dying. There used to be thousands of villagers, but now only sixty-four people like me are left, still struggling to hold on. But..."

Having said this, the old man burst into tears and said: "Fortunately, we persisted, and we are finally waiting for you!"

"Grandpa, it's getting late today. Should we arrange accommodation for Lord Xiangrui first and wait until the Lord has rested to discuss other issues?" The little boy next to him suddenly whispered.

"Well, ah, that's right. You are still smart as a dog. I am getting older. I was so excited when I saw Mr. Xiangrui that I forgot about this matter. Please forgive me, Mr. Xiangrui!" the old man said sincerely and fearfully.

Jiang Lai waved his hand to indicate that it was okay, and continued: "How have you accomplished what you were told to do back then?"

The old man quickly replied: "Reporting to your lord, we have been guarding the village for hundreds of years... we have never slacked off, and we have never dared to complain. We have been guarding it until today."

The reason why Jiang Lai asked that was just to get some information.

Unexpectedly, the old man just kept telling the villagers about protecting the village and did not mention anything else.

I don’t know if the old man didn’t want to answer and was deliberately pretending to be confused with her, or if the “Lord Xiangrui” who came to Shanxi Village back then just ordered them to guard the village and didn’t give any other instructions.

Being regarded as an "Auspicious Lord" was temporarily beneficial to her.

Jiang Lai didn't want to reveal his identity.

So, she simply said yes and let the villagers arrange a place for her.

The old man gave instructions, and the other villagers dispersed and returned home.

Only the little boy was left, and together with the old man, they took Jiang Lai to a courtyard deep in the village.

The conditions of this courtyard are undoubtedly the best in the entire village.

From the clean steps and doors, it can be seen that someone has been responsible for cleaning and maintenance here.

The location of the yard is very remote and somewhat old and dilapidated.

When the two villagers, one old and one young, pushed the wooden door open, the old door shaft immediately made a squeaking noise.

There are two rooms and a small building in the yard.

The small building stood alone on the west side. The door was closed tightly with an old-fashioned black copper lock hanging on it.

The other two rooms are opposite the small building, on the east side of the yard.

Like the gate, the yard is cleaned very well.

The old man arranged for Jiang Lai to live in one of the two rooms.

There is an ondol in the room and a stove made of mud.

There were some long-extinguished cinders inside the stove.

The two villagers, one old and one young, seemed to be very familiar with this place.

With familiarity, they dug out a small basket of charcoal from the bamboo frame on the side of the wall, brought a bundle of firewood from the yard, and lit the fire quickly.

With the cooperation of the two of them, the fire started crackling in a short while, and the temperature in the room gradually rose.

At this time there was a knock on the courtyard door.

A female villager in the village carried a basket and brought food and drink.

A rough earthen pot contained some kind of dark soup, which looked darker than black sesame paste.

Inside the basket covered with blue calico, there were pieces of dark, cracked and hard dough that looked a bit like the tsampa eaten by ethnic minorities.

"Lord Xiangrui, you will rest here for the time being tonight. These are not good things. You will just have to eat and drink some." The old man said.

After arranging everything, the old man left.

Jiang Lai checked the soup in the earthen pot and the food in the basket, and found that the dark food exuded a strange smell.

The soup in the earthen pot seemed to be broth.

It actually exudes a particularly alluring fragrance.

Those foods that look like black tsampa give people a dark and hard feeling. But the texture is actually very brittle, and it turns to ash when touched lightly with your hand.

There's obviously something wrong with these things.

Moreover, Jiang Lai suspected that the strange-smelling broth was a bigger problem than the black tsampa that turned to gray when touched.

Moreover, the old man and other villagers were obviously very strange.

While speaking excitedly, they said that they had been waiting for hundreds of years, and finally a Lord Xiangrui came.

But in the village, there is a yard built by Lord Xiangrui.

The yard is often cleaned, perhaps out of respect for Lord Xiangrui.

But what happened to the charcoal that had been prepared in the bamboo basket in the house, the firewood in the yard outside, and the soot remaining in the red clay stove?

It feels like...

This village is like a tourist attraction that is often visited by auspicious masters.

The compound she is currently in is a B&B that often hosts auspicious adults.

Whether it is the old man, the child, or the villager's sister-in-law who just delivered the food, and other villagers, they all have fixed procedures for receiving Mr. Xiangrui, and every move is so skillful.

Out of caution, Jiang Lai frowned and calmly put all the food and water into a black garbage bag. He also took out the self-heating pot he had won through a lottery and the new one from the props bar. The lucky draw products were canned luncheon meat and braised quail eggs, and we had a steaming dinner around the fire.

Of course, she didn’t forget to open two cans of winter melon.

After eating and drinking, she asked Winter Melon to keep vigil and pay attention to the movements around her. She took out a clean sleeping bag, placed it on the warm bed that had been heated in advance, and quickly fell asleep.

After running around for most of the day, even she felt a little tired.

While sleeping, Jiang Lai suddenly heard a burst of strange noises coming from outside, which sounded like the whine of an owl.

She poked her head out of her sleeping bag and found that Winter Melon, who had been lying beside the heated kang, had already stood up and was looking out warily.

"Please pay attention! The risk level in the area you are currently in is three-star." Xiao Ai's warning sounded late but arrived.
