The 60-year-old man seemed to be very prestigious in the village. After he spoke, the villagers in the village stopped embarrassing them, and Xue Lingyu and Lin Chen were finally able to get out of the car safely.

Later they found out that this 60-year-old man was the head of the village.

Xue Lingyu reckoned that it was because they saw Lin Chen's police ID in his clothes that they were afraid of accidents and let them go.

Xue Lingyu lived with Gu Mingzhe since she was a child, and even earlier, she was with her parents in the city, let alone Lin Chen, who came from a wealthy family and didn't understand why some small backwater villages were so xenophobic.

At noon, in order to receive them, the village head specially hosted a banquet in his own home to entertain them. During the meal, the village head accidentally talked about it, and Lin Chen knew that no outsiders had been in this village for a long time.

Moreover, some of the young laborers in the village choose to go out to work and some still stay in the village.

However, from Lin Chen's observation of the situation here in the morning, the village is basically full of men in their 40s and [-]s, and there are children who can only play around at the age of seven or eight. There is not even a young woman. Accompanying him were only a few of his sons.

There is no mistress in this house.

As if seeing Lin Chen's doubts, the village head explained, "The custom here is that women are not allowed to sit at the table."

Lin Chen was surprised, but still nodded. He had only seen this kind of old custom in books, and he didn't expect that this village still has such a bad habit.

This meal was very difficult. Before Lin Chen had eaten two bites, the village chief interrupted him and asked him why he came here. Lin Chen could only say that he was here for business.He can't go into details either, for fear that if he speaks in too much detail, his flaws will be exposed.

It can only be prevaricated by catching suspects.

"I'm really sorry about what happened in the morning. Because the outsiders in the village brought some bad things, our villagers are a little xenophobic."

Lin Chen smiled embarrassingly, and thought to himself, it was not just simple xenophobia, he felt that the villagers and himself in the morning seemed to have revenge for killing their father.

When Village Chief Fu heard that he was here to arrest people, his face relaxed a little, "I don't know what kind of person the police officer is going to arrest. People in our village haven't been out for a long time, and no one has come in recently, so... it should be People should not be in our village."

Lin Chen's smile froze for a moment, and he didn't know how to explain it, but luckily, Village Chief Fu suddenly changed the subject, and turned to look at Xue Lingyu who was sitting aside, focused on eating.

"Is this little brother the younger brother of Police Officer Lin?" Village Chief Fu originally thought that Xue Lingyu should be an assistant brought by Police Officer Lin. It's not like you can only guess whether it's the other party's brother or something.

Xue Lingyu saw that the other party suddenly mentioned herself, and suddenly raised her head with a half-gnawed chicken wing in her mouth, and looked at the other party with a greasy mouth.

"what happened?"

Lin Chen: ...It's so embarrassing, can I pretend that I don't know him.

Lin Chen really doesn't know why Xue Lingyu is like a starving ghost who hasn't eaten for a few days every time he sees food. His desire for food is no less than that of Lin Qingqing.

No wonder the two of them knew each other without any contact at all.

Although Lin Chenjue's Xue Lingyu was a little unreliable, but he still had to admit the other party's identity, so he could only follow what the village chief said.

"Well, yes, this is my brother."

"At such a young age, Officer Lin should be very worried when he goes to work." Village Chief Fu chatted casually, probably wanting to liven up the atmosphere at the dinner table.

You know, during the holidays, the topics of chatting among Chinese people are basically inseparable from their own children.

"Ah, it's okay, he's almost there." Lin Chen said, sneaking a glance at Xue Lingyu.

It's not that Lin Chen doesn't trust him, but that the other party really doesn't have a few lies in his mouth. If Xue Lingyu didn't lie to him, then he is indeed coming soon.

Seeing Lin Chen staring at him, Xue Lingyu gave Officer Lin a big smile back.

"That looks really too small." Mr. Fu said, patting his eldest son on the shoulder.

"You should eat more. Look at the four sons in my family, each one is stronger than the other."

Village Chief Fu's sons are all in their prime of life, and the oldest is only 40 years old. In addition, they go to work in the fields every day, and their skin is tanned. Seeing their father mentioning themselves, the four of them smiled naively and revealed The big white teeth looked particularly healthy, with the unique simplicity of the villagers.

Xue Lingyu and Lin Chen were stared at by four pairs of big white teeth.

Xue Lingyu: ...It really makes my teeth sore.

After a meal, Lin Chen originally wanted to buy some gasoline from them and leave, but Village Chief Fu told them that there is no gasoline in this village, and if they want gasoline, they can only go to the nearest town to sell it. , It takes a day and a night to walk.

"However, Police Officer Lin can stay at my house temporarily for a few days." Village Chief Fu said kindly.

"In the whole village, my house is fairly big, and there are quite a few empty rooms."

Lin Chen was having a headache about the place where he lived. After all, he was worried about living in the villagers' homes after seeing the fighting power of the villagers this morning. But last night he spent the whole night in the car, and his neck still hurts.

Now that Village Chief Fu made this suggestion, Lin Chen basically agreed immediately.

"Okay, then Lingyu and I will trouble you."

"No trouble, no trouble." The village chief said with a smile, and wanted to take them to the room where they stayed at night. Halfway there, he suddenly remembered something and stopped.

"What's wrong?" Lin Chen asked.

"There have been strange things happening in this village lately at night," Village Chief Fu said with a serious face, "So, no matter what sounds Police Officer Lin hears at night, don't open the door."
