I guard the world with the Lord of the Underworld

Chapter 8 Where to go back and forth

"Aren't we going to check if there are any virus residues?" Hua Qingyao asked, thinking of what Ye Chutang said just now.

"No, the caravan said that an informant came to report that there are some suspicious people here. Everyone in the place is unavailable, so I came over to take a look." Ye Chutang curled his lips and apologized: "I didn't expect you to be here too, delaying your party. ”

"Ah, it's okay, work is important." Hua Qingyao shook his head, "By the way, suspicious personnel, there won't be any danger, right?" He looked a little worried at his classmates who were gradually walking away.

"It should be fine." Ye Chutang comforted softly: "You see there are no traces of being touched in these rooms. No one should have been here."

As for whether any non-living things have come here, that's not certain.

"Okay, let's start working." Hua Qingyao rolled up his sleeves.

The two of them took photos and inspected the houses one by one. Those classmates whizzed by, but luckily they did not enter the house. They whizzed by like a quickie and went to the outside of the village.

Hua Qingyao secretly breathed a sigh of relief and started working with peace of mind.

Halfway through the inspection, Ye Chutang suddenly stopped. Hua Qingyao looked at him in confusion. He saw the other party walking to the open space in the center of the village, taking off his backpack, taking out a picnic cloth and spreading it on the stone floor, and then took out lunch boxes one by one. .

"Huh? Brother Ye, are you hungry?" Hua Qingyao was stunned for a moment and scratched his head.

"We have to work and we have to eat. I don't bring much today, so let's just eat." Ye Chutang looked at Hua Qingyao with a smile.

"The scenery here is not bad." Ye Chutang continued to laugh, and the group of people left, and they could finally be alone.

Hua Qingyao's original tension at work was diluted, and he sat down and looked at the shabby but quaint village in front of him, surrounded by green grass, and the scenery was indeed beautiful.

"Actually, the renovation here is quite good, with beautiful mountains and clear waters, suitable for retirement." Hua Qingyao couldn't help but sigh.

"Do you like this kind of place?" Ye Chutang's eyes flashed slightly.

Hua Qingyao smiled and said, "Just think about it, how can you stay in such a remote place with no electricity, no Internet, and no medical facilities?"

"There will always be a place with beautiful scenery and convenience." Ye Chutang said as he handed over the sushi.

The two of them ate their food quietly, and the cool breeze blew, bringing comfort to this hot summer.

Hua Qingyao was suddenly touched on the cheek and turned around suddenly, looking at the kettle in the hand of Ye Chutang, the culprit, and blinked.

"What are you thinking about? I'm obsessed with it."

"Ah?" Hua Qingyao looked at the desolate village with a little sadness, "Tell me, does a person really die after death? Why does that person live?"

Ye Chutang slowly raised the corners of his lips, "It's very simple. Look at all the things in this world, experience love, hate, and hatred, and have a close partner to accompany you throughout your life."

"Even if there are no deeds left in the world, at least relatives and friends can leave traces in their hearts. That is meaningful, and it is not a waste of time."

Hua Qingyao's eyes flashed, he stopped talking, lowered his head and ate quietly.

They were in the center of the village and could see the entrance of the village at a glance. If there was any suspicious behavior, they could immediately spot it. The two of them rested for a while under the shade of a tree.

But not long after, a group of men and women who had gone to the outskirts came back with a roar, and Ye Chutang's face suddenly turned bad.

"Hey, Qingyao, why did you get to eat? The squad leader said he brought a lot of food from the restaurant, and it's all gold..."

The man's words were interrupted by another classmate, "Since you are full, we will share those high-end ingredients."

Hua Qingyao lowered his eyes and said "hmm" in a low voice, ignoring the scrutinizing looks from the other people.

"Oh, come and see." A girl suddenly said.

"Look at that chair, is it made of ebony?" The girl pointed to a chair in a room with excitement. Her family made furniture. She could distinguish furniture made of different materials since she was a child.

The chair was well made and had carvings on the armrests, which made it look shiny and shiny in this dilapidated house.

Glossy and shiny!

Hua Qingyao was stunned. There was a thick layer of gray everywhere in the house. How could the chairs be shiny? Looking down, the four legs of the chair are also clean.

Hua Qingyao couldn't help but take a few steps back and looked at Ye Chutang, something was wrong.

"Wow, this chair is really nice. Come on, take a picture for me." A boy ran into the room.

But before he could sit in the chair, his collar was pulled up with great force, and then he was thrown out of the door.

"What are you doing!" the boy said indignantly.

"Don't you find it strange? There is dust everywhere, only the chairs are clean?" Hua Qingyao said.

"What's the point? Someone wiped it." Another boy said disdainfully.

Hua Qingyao glanced at him and said quietly: "But there are no footprints entering the house."

"Ah!" A girl suddenly exclaimed and stepped back in fright. "Let's go." She felt that this place was very scary from the beginning.

"What are you going to do? Who knows if it's a prank on their part." The boy said harshly.

The rest of them looked at Hua Qingyu and then at Ye Chutang, not sure. The girl who was staring at Ye Chutang suddenly said, "The monitor said lunch is ready, let's go back to eat."

The boy glared at Ye Chutang. When the other party's dark eyes stared at him, his mind seemed to be frozen and he shuddered violently.

Without saying hello, he glanced at Hua Qingyao again, turned around vigorously, and led a group of people back.

Hua Qingyao secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He was afraid that the other party would be impulsive and find trouble, and a conflict would be bad.

"Brother Ye, I'm sorry, my classmates are, um... young and ignorant." Hua Qingyao felt that this excuse was a bit embarrassing.

Ye Chutang shook his head slightly and said with a smile: "It's okay. The main thing is that this chair is too strange, so it's better not to mess around."

Hua Qingyao thought that he was quite courageous, and he had been sorting out information in the institute for so many years. He also knew about some non-biological events, and he couldn't help but be a little scared at this time.

"Should we inform the caravan?"

"Well, I'll just let you know." Ye Chutang casually took a photo and sent it to Shang Shixu.

"Let's go after checking the rest. People from other offices will be sent to deal with it." Ye Chutang pointed to the remaining houses.

The two of them finished checking slowly from room to room, and the sun began to set in the west. They left the village and walked towards the hillside pasture.

Tents stood on the grass, and people came and went, talking and laughing. When they saw Ye Chutang, some people stopped talking and laughing and looked at her.

"Qingyao, are you your friend?" The squad leader took the lead and stepped forward.

"Well, colleagues from the unit, come here, um, look for me." Hua Qingyao didn't want people to know the nature of his unit's work, and he originally signed a confidentiality agreement.

"Oh, hello, in that case, let's eat together. They are all very good ingredients." The squad leader grinned and pointed to the table beside him, which he saw was the food in the hotel's take-out box.

"No need, we bring our own..."

Before Ye Chutang finished speaking, a voice suddenly interrupted, "You guys, go back to where you came from."

Everyone immediately looked at the source of the sound. A man who looked like a Taoist priest in his forties or fifties was standing at the foot of the slope.

The squad leader stepped forward and asked: "Well... Taoist priest, we are having a class party and camping, and we won't go back until tomorrow. Are you hungry?"

"Ignorant boy!" the Taoist leader snorted coldly, "I have already informed the relevant departments that no more people are allowed here. You should leave immediately."

"Taoist priest, this isn't yours, right? We're camping normally, what's wrong?" a man replied angrily.

"That's right, why?" Some other people whispered.

"Sorry, Taoist priest, it's getting dark now, and it's not safe for the bus to drive out. We'll leave early tomorrow morning." The squad leader explained kindly.

"Stupid!" the Taoist leader snorted heavily, "You are responsible for any consequences. The old Taoist has informed you, you are responsible for it." He turned around and walked towards the village.

A group of people looked at each other in confusion for a while, then the squad leader asked a few people to turn on the camping lights.
