Seeing that the courtyard door was closed again, Ning Mianmian and the two quickly walked around to the back of the courtyard of the village chief's house, and climbed in through the fence.

Although she didn't hear what Xiaofang said in detail, Ning Mianmian inexplicably felt that this matter must be related to them.After all, if Xiaofang met them by accident, she was only here to get food from the village chief.

If we want to talk about the variables along the way, the only thing is that we met a few of them outsiders.

The courtyard was a little messy, with weeds overgrown and sundries randomly placed.There are two low bungalows standing against the courtyard wall, which look like warehouses.

There was a thick haystack in the corner, and the two of them dodged and hid behind, hiding their breath with spiritual power.

Not long after hiding, footsteps were heard not far away.

The voice of conversation also drifted over, it was Xiaofang who was talking.

"...Those outsiders don't seem to be easy to provoke, and they are trying to trick me along the way."

Xiaofang's voice was timid, and she sounded very scared, "I don't dare to offend them, so I have to answer those questions as much as I can, and I don't know if I said something wrong... Probably not. Of course, those who shouldn't I didn't say anything."

Ning Mianmian frowned, at first she saw Xiaofang's startled and frightened look, and thought she was simply afraid of strangers.Why now, listening to the meaning of her words, it seems that there are other scruples?What does the so-called "should not say" specifically mean?

They did not show their abilities in front of Xiaofang, nor did they show aggressiveness, but they were always very friendly.Then, as an aboriginal, Xiaofang, there is absolutely no need to be afraid because of these outsiders.

Then Wang Song's hoarse voice sounded: "Of course it's not easy to mess with, just look at those paper figurines...their strength is unfathomable, we must be careful this time."

After hearing this, Ning Mianmian felt a slight "thump" in her heart.

This morning, Wang Song said that the paper figurines attacked them as evil spirits. Although they tried their best to suppress them, they couldn't stop them.But judging from what the other party said now, it seems that these paper figurines were specially arranged by the villagers to test their strength.

The village head said: "Don't be too nervous, it will make people see that something is wrong. Besides, there are rules in the village, and there are people with outstanding strength. What are you afraid of? It's been so long, and it's not the first time. Did they all pass without any risk?"

Xiaofang responded in a low voice: "What you said is that I am timid and made too much fuss."

The village chief said again: "Wang Song, you settled the people, so you should pay more attention recently. You know the situation in the village now, so don't make any trouble."

Wang Song said: "Don't worry, I know it well."

After a pause, he continued, "However, recently, someone made a big fuss, causing people in the village to panic. I'm afraid that it will be my turn next, and I don't know when it will be the end."

The air was quiet for a while, and then the village chief said: "Just turn a blind eye and close one eye, they are not fools, and they will stop when it is about the same time."

Ning Mianmian was at a loss when she heard it, the people in front of her seemed to be playing charades, they seemed to have said something, but they didn't seem to say anything.

Who are the so-called "tremendous disturbances"?Could it be the murderer who killed the original owner of their residence?

But one thing is certain, although the people in this village have not expressed any intention of harming them at present, they can tell that they are obviously trying to hide something, so as not to let them see that something is wrong.

Moreover, the village head also specifically emphasized that there are outstanding people in the village, as if he expected a conflict between them in the future and was making preparations.

After a few messy footsteps, there was a soft "squeak", probably the door of the warehouse was opened.

Then there was a sound of searching for something.

After a while, Xiaofang murmured, "Village Chief, is this the only thing you can get this time?"

The village chief's voice was a little numb, "As you can see, there is only so much food in total, and on average, each person only has so much."

Wang Song sighed, "It's been like this recently, I don't know what's wrong."

Xiaofang didn't say anything, just whispered "Thank you village chief".

Wang Song said again: "Two people died in the village last night, less than the previous few days, but according to the past rules, tonight will be more difficult, and the number of deaths is estimated to be more than yesterday."

The village chief didn't seem to care, and his tone was very flat, "Got it."

Ning Mianmian held her breath, it seems that death is not a rare thing here.If you think about it, you can't eat enough, and you have to fight at night. It's very difficult to survive.

And if a few people die, everyone will get more food.

After the three left, the backyard became quiet again.

Seeing that there was no one around, Ning Mianmian quickly ran to the edge of the warehouse and glanced inside through the gap in the door.

Worried about being discovered, she didn't linger too long. She left the small courtyard with Lin Cen first, and then began to talk in a low voice.

Lin Cen asked, "What's in the warehouse?"

"Although the warehouse area is quite large, it is not full."

Ning Mianmian recalled the scene she saw just now, and pondered: "Some common vegetables, meat and rice, a few small jars, I don't know if there are seasonings in them. Such a small amount of food is unlikely to be eaten by the whole village. Three days... If it is just to maintain life, it is barely enough."

Speaking of this, she was a little confused.Since he couldn't leave the village, where did the village chief get the food?

They circled the village just now and found no farmland or livestock at all.But according to the existing clues, there is no way to deduce this point, so we have to give up temporarily.

On the way back, Lin Cen deliberately knocked on the doors of several houses.

She stood in front of the door, imitating Xiaofang's appearance, three heavy strokes and three light strokes, but the door was still closed tightly, and no one answered.

Ning Mianmian said in a low voice: "Could it be that we remembered it wrong? It shouldn't be, Xiaofang was in this rhythm just now."

Lin Cen smiled, and suddenly bent down, looking in through the gap in the door.

Almost at the same moment, there were two panicked footsteps inside the door, and then it immediately returned to silence.

Lin Cen straightened up slowly after finishing fishing, and said calmly, "I'm just pretending not to hear."

Ning Mianmian was startled.It turned out that someone was confronting them through the door panel just now, and she didn't realize that something was wrong.If it's just an ordinary person who doesn't have a hidden breath, she will definitely be able to perceive it.

Thinking of what the village chief said made her a little uneasy.Wouldn't they be in a very dangerous situation if a whole village ganged up to plot against them, including "people with excellent strength" among them.

After returning to the residence, Jiang Wan had already prepared two simple dishes.Smoke billowed from the kitchen in the small courtyard, the courtyard door was half-open, and the smell of food wafted out through the crack of the door.

Although no one around went out, but with the vigilance of the villagers, the neighbors should find out that they cooked, so they wouldn't be suspicious.

Ning Mianmian stood in the courtyard and chatted with the others for a few words before closing the courtyard door.

Of course, they wouldn't really eat these rigged things, but Lin Cen said that since they were acting, they had to cook a full set, so the meals were put on the table in a proper manner.

Everyone gathered around the table, bought some food in the mall with their points, and ate each of them.Although Ning Mianmian really wanted to eat hot pot, but because of the too strong taste, she forcibly held back and chose bread.

After all, their next plan is to pretend to be asleep and see who can't help but come to investigate the situation.It would be too embarrassing if it was exposed because of the smell of hot pot.

Originally, Ning Mianmian thought that Luo Fu would be disappointed by this, but what she didn't expect was that the other party just gave a faint "hmm", and seemed to have no appetite.

Even Fluffy could see what was wrong with Love, and couldn't help leaning over and asking, "What's wrong with you? Are you uncomfortable?"

Love looked at the half bread in Fluffy's hand, hesitated for a moment, "You finish eating first, and I'll tell you in detail."

Rongrong understood, and immediately stopped eating, "You go ahead, I'm afraid I'll spit it out after eating too much."

Love was about to speak, but there was a "squeak" sound outside the door.

It was the courtyard door that was pushed open.

Everyone heard the movement, exchanged glances with each other, sat at the table temporarily without moving, and just put away the bread in their hands.

Through the glass of the window, Ning Mianmian saw a tall and thin figure walking into the courtyard.She immediately picked up the cutlery and made a few gaps in the plates of food on the table, giving people the illusion that they were half-eaten.

It was Wang Song who came, and he walked over in two steps, and the door was knocked twice.

Ning Mianmian cleared her throat and said "Come in".

Wang Song came in, with a polite smile on his face, he greeted the crowd.

After listening to the conversation between him and the village chief, Ning Mianmian realized that Wang Song had something to hide, but she still smiled slightly on the surface and said, "Brother Wang, why are you here?"

Wang Songdao: "I just came back from the outside, thinking that you are new here, you may not be used to it, so I came here to have a look... How is the food? Is the food to your liking?"

Ning Mianmian noticed that when Wang Song was talking, his eyes kept turning around the food on the table inadvertently.After seeing the traces of passiveness in the food, the expression on his face showed a subtle sense of relaxation.

She just pretended she didn't see it, and said enthusiastically: "We've been starving for a long time, and everything we eat is delicious. Brother Wang, have you eaten? If you haven't eaten, would you like to have some together?"

Wang Song waved his hands again and again, "No, no, I'll eat when I get home."

Ning Mianmian smiled, and didn't force him anymore, but asked another question, "By the way, Brother Wang, has anyone died in this house? There is a bedroom upstairs with a lot of blood on the wall, it's scary. "

Wang Song seemed to have expected to be asked this point a long time ago, so he replied calmly, "Is something evil causing trouble? No one died in that house, so you should be careful."

"Brother Wang, I want to ask you about someone."

Love spoke softly, and stretched out his hand to measure the top of his head, "He is about this much taller than me, lives in the southeast corner of the village, and has a tattoo on his wrist, do you know him well?"

Wang Song was taken aback for a moment, then seemed to think of someone, and his expression became a little gloomy.

After a while, he said, "That's Xu Si, but you must stay away from him."

Love's eyes moved slightly, "Why do you say that?"

"He took several lives on his body." Wang Song looked into her eyes and said solemnly, "He has a twisted mind and is very dangerous. If you want to survive, it's best not to associate with this kind of person."
