India

"You can't feel any breath of life here, how could someone live here? Save your energy." Seeing that Ji Guiran was about to go up and knock on the door of a room, Mo Nan couldn't help but say.

...you are the only one who talks too much.Ji Guiran didn't want to talk to him, and went straight to knock on the door.

There was no movement in the house for a long time, and after a while, there was the sound of slow footsteps, like an elderly person, moving his body a little bit towards the door.Then the door opened, and the person who came was indeed an old woman over seventy years old, with gray hair, a thin and haggard face, sunken eye sockets, and her eyes looked at the two people outside the door absently.

Mo Nan was startled at first, he didn't expect that there were people living in this ghostly place, and then he looked into the house curiously, but unfortunately the light was too dim, and he could only see the dim candlelight in the house.

"Excuse me, old man," Ji Guiran said slowly, "We are tourists passing through this town..."

The old woman looked him up and down, then looked at Mo Nan behind him, pursing the corners of her mouth, as if in disbelief.

"Excuse me... have you ever seen a white snake appear here?" He asked the question straight to the point.

She didn't seem to hear the question, but raised her wrinkled hand tremblingly, pointed at Ji Guiran first, then at Mo Nan, waved her hand, and made a gesture of repelling, then closed the door.

"...What does she mean?"

"I don't know." Ji Guiran was puzzled after being rejected.

"Try the next one?"

"kindness."

The two knocked on the houses along the road one after another, but no one opened the door for some of them, and the rest were old people who were over seventy years old. Apart from their age, they all had common characteristics, for example, they were all silent, watching Ji Guiran and Mo Nan Xiang looked at the aliens, as if they shouldn't be here at all, ignored their questions, and then turned them away.

At this time, the sky was getting dark, and several households turned on their lights, which added a lot of popularity to the town.

The two of them have been busy for so long, not only did no one answer their own questions, but they also got a look of embarrassment. They couldn't help but feel a little discouraged and resentful, and felt that this town was weird and terrifying.

"Tell me, are they all zombies, the kind that can move after death!" Mo Nan had a flash of inspiration.

Ji Guiran glanced at him: "Stop talking nonsense, they are all people with normal breathing."

"Then tell me what's going on with each of these."

"how could I know."

"whispering sound."

Hearing this disgusting sigh, Ji Guiran was a little annoyed: "The people who have been hiding behind me have no right to despise them."

"I'm here to find out about the enemy... Oh, right, let me tell you, I found their houses to be very strange. Although I can't see them very clearly, there are candles and incense in many of the houses, like It's like worshiping something."

"It's normal to have spirit tablets and the like in the house."

"But don't you think it's strange to put the door?"

"It's strange, maybe it's caused by customs."

Mo Nan looked at him with a look of hatred: "The so-called investigation is to catch all unusual factors, Young Master Ji, you have no common sense, right?"

"Then please ask Young Master Mo to go up and knock on the door next time, and I will stay behind to investigate."

"..."

Mo Nan secretly cursed that this person was definitely not something in the pond, and when he was about to continue walking, he suddenly found a mansion in front of him.

Compared with the old houses they saw before, this mansion is obviously much newer. It seems that it has just been built a few years ago, and the scale is also much larger. Although it is not as good as Mo Mansion, it is also the residence of rich people.

Taking a closer look, the word He Fu is engraved on the plaque. From this, we can know the owner's surname is He.The plaque is quite new, and the gold glue painted on the characters has not fallen off. It is clean and neat, and it seems that the characters Hefu written in Xingkai are particularly majestic. ,

The door made of mahogany was tightly closed, and a few gleams of light shone through the cracks in the bottom door, indicating that there were people inside.

For some reason, Mo Nan felt that this mansion was the most normal one he felt when he entered the town, popular and warm.He was so moved that he wanted to go up and knock on the door, and if possible, he wanted to stay in this house for a night.

"Go quickly." Ji Guiran urged from behind.

Just go.

Mo Nan gave him a contemptuous look, and summoned up his courage to walk to the door. First, he knocked lightly on the door. Seeing that there was no movement inside, he knocked harder until footsteps could be heard from inside.

After the mahogany door was opened from the inside, the people inside and outside were all stunned.

The person who opened the door was no longer a faltering old man, but a relatively young man, about 27 or [-] years old, with soft features and a comfortable look, and a faint resoluteness in his moist eyes. people.

This time there is drama.

Mo Nan and Ji Guiran thought at the same time.

"...You guys..." The man inside the door seemed to be very surprised that there were guests, and he couldn't help sizing them up. When his eyes fell on Ji Guiran behind him, he froze instantly.

"?" Ji Guiran felt his gaze, and looked at him puzzledly.

"Hi, excuse me! Excuse me, are you the owner of this place?" Mo Nan asked, and then he noticed that the man turned around and looked behind him, and when he turned around, he saw Ji Guiran also staring at the man, and Mo Nan looked back and forth Looking at two people who looked at each other but didn't speak, the atmosphere was mysteriously awkward.

"Ahem." He could only cough a few times on purpose to attract this person's attention.

"Ah..." The man seemed to have recovered, "I'm really rude... It's just that I think this young man looks familiar, so I couldn't help but take a few more glances."

Familiar?Could it be that they knew each other?Mo Nan's curiosity was aroused, and he squinted and asked Ji Guiran with his eyes.

The latter ignored his gaze, and responded calmly to the man: "I must have misremembered, this is just the first meeting with the young master."

The man chuckled softly, the corners of his mouth raised softly and his eyebrows curved, which made people feel comfortable: "It's also... The two young masters seem to be from other places, right?"

"Exactly." Mo Nan felt that this man was like a spring of fresh water in this town. "Although I feel a little embarrassed to interrupt rashly, there are really some things that I don't understand."

"The two young masters are new here, so it's natural to find it strange. Please come in first... By the way, the next person is the owner of this place. His surname is He, and the single name is Jing. You can call me by my first name. If you don't mind, call me He Brother is fine too."

"Thank you, Brother He Jing! In Xia Mo Nan, you can call him whatever you want~" Normal people, this is normal people!Mo Nan was so grateful that he almost shook his tail.

"It turned out to be Mr. Mo Nan. It's a pleasure to meet you." He smiled and led them in, "Then the one behind you is..."

Before Ji Guiran could introduce him, Mo Nan said with a playful smile: "He, he is the servant I brought, although he is not very obedient, and his surname has long been forgotten, I usually call him Zhizhang kindly. Son, you can also... ah! Let me go!..."

Ji Guiran snapped his wrist back expressionlessly, and replied: "Guiran next season."

"...Ji?" He Jing thought thoughtfully, "But that Hezi Ji?"

"Exactly."

He Jing thought for a while, and said hesitantly: "I'm sorry to ask, Mr. Ji is at home... but there are biological brothers or something?"

"...No, why do you ask?"

"Oh, it's okay, I was thinking too much." He Jing smiled self-deprecatingly, "When you get old, you tend to remember things wrong."

"No, no! Brother He is in the prime of his youth and strength, not to mention he seems to be getting old." Mo Nan chatted with him with a familiar look.Then he felt another pain in his hand, so he yelled at Ji Guiran angrily: "Hey, are you done enough? Let me go!"

Ji Guiran felt that he was ashamed, so he clenched his wrist tightly before shaking off his wrist.

"..." Mo Nan rubbed the painful part with a sullen face, and stared at him daringly.

He Jing in front didn't notice the strangeness of the two of them, he just pondered for a moment, and murmured: "It's not bad to be the same as other old people in the town..."

"What's the matter, those people outside are all yin and yang, and they can't communicate at all!"

"They have always treated outsiders like this... go in and talk."

Right now, He Jing had already brought the two of them to the living room in the mansion, and as he opened the door, candlelight poured out from the crack of the opened door, faintly spreading on the ground in front of the door.
