Nightmare Attack

Chapter 1472 Rice

Chapter 1472 Rice

Since coming to this fishing village, everyone has an indescribable feeling, as if there is a pair of eyes hidden somewhere, watching their every move all the time.

The villagers outside are also untrustworthy. If you want to explore the secrets on the painting, you must avoid them.

Just as everyone was thinking about countermeasures, the voices outside the door suddenly became louder. Jiang Cheng opened the door and walked out. The atmosphere in the yard was very delicate. Li Bai was talking to several villagers, while Zhu Jie and Tang Qisheng were watching from the sidelines, his expression hidden. Can't help being weird.

A female villager seemed to be on the rise of talking, and actually took Li Bai's hand directly. Seeing this scene, Jiang Cheng also frowned slightly. Getting too close to these villagers is not necessarily a good thing. Li Bai is not a newcomer, so he should understand this truth. Besides... It's a newcomer, and everyone hasn't gotten to know each other to this degree.

Li Bai, who was held back by the hand, had a smile on his face, but the smile was very forced, and he looked like he was forced to go into business.

At first the fat man thought that Li Bai had found some clues, but it didn't look like it.

"What are you talking about?" Jiang Cheng walked over to rescue Li Bai, "This kind of thing happened to the master's house, we need to help more, go and help move things."

Seeing Jiangcheng coming, Li Bai seemed to have seen a savior, so he immediately pretended to be embarrassed, and after explaining a few words, he was going to help, but was stopped by an elderly grandmother, who took Li Bai's hand, Tears welled up in the muddy eyes, "Don't worry about the child, someone will help you move it. You are so weak, take a rest, and don't tire you out."

The old lady seemed to have a high seniority among these people. As soon as she spoke, the others left immediately and turned to help move things and clean the yard.

Zhu Jie curled her lips when she heard the words, she looked thinner than Li Bai, but why didn't these people feel sorry for her?Even if she judges people by their appearance, she is no worse than Li Bai.

And those who walked away looked at Li Bai's position from time to time even though they were carrying and cleaning.

At this moment, everyone also realized the problem. The villagers who came here spontaneously wore sackcloth and filial piety and were indifferent to Grandpa's death, but they were very kind to Li Bai, as if... as if seeing a long-lost relative.

Seeing the old lady greeting Li Bai, everyone couldn't help feeling a chill in their hearts. The more sincere the attitude of these villagers, the more creepy they felt.

At the same time, everyone couldn't help but think of that painting. At first glance, Xiuling's expression on the painting is very kind, just like the villagers today.

While helping to clean the yard, Jiang Cheng asked calmly, "When we were in the room, what happened outside?"

Of course Zhang Qisheng understood that he was referring to Li Bai's matter, so he couldn't help lowering his voice: "It's strange, everything was fine at first, but suddenly a few people came in from the courtyard gate, and the old woman was the leader. It seemed that they were mourning grandpa, but after a while, they found Li Bai."

Shao Tong took a sweeper and pawed slowly on the ground, and did not work hard, but what he said next made people feel cold, "Hehe, where did they find Li Bai, I think they are here for Li Bai. "

Jiang Cheng also had a similar feeling, but he couldn't figure out what attracted them to Li Bai, or... was there something wrong with Li Bai himself?

"Mr. Jiang, there is something I need to say. Just now I saw Li Bai and a few people walking into Grandpa's room. They seemed to have said something, but when I walked over, they were over." Tang Qisheng endured I can't help but say that the vigilance in the voice is very obvious.

Feeling the strange atmosphere in the courtyard, Jiang Cheng asked, "What did Li Bai say?"

"She said that those people didn't tell her anything useful, they just asked her how she was, why she was so thin, and told her to take good care of herself."

These words sounded wrong, Tang Qisheng paused for a moment, and suddenly said: "Mr. Jiang, don't you find something strange? Although it seemed that Brother Fugui was recruited last night, Brother Fugui is fine, and among us... also Nothing happened to anyone."

"The person you suspect is actually Li Bai." Jiang Cheng cut to the chase.

"I'm not sure, but this possibility is very high, and I suspect that even if Li Bai is still alive, she is different from us. She was marked by ghosts in a way we can't understand, as if marked A brand, and sooner or later something will happen to the person who is branded."

It has to be said that there are no idiots who can live to this day. Tang Qisheng's reasoning is completely tenable. It's not that no one had an accident last night, but that person was not a fat man, but Li Bai.

As for why, Jiang Cheng still has no idea.

Not long after, there was another sound of whistling and beating outside. It was the funeral procession that came back. It was unexpected for everyone to come back so quickly, and they couldn't help but suspect that the funeral was too hasty.

"Huh?" Jiang Cheng frowned suddenly.

The fat man also reacted, his eyes widened and he looked towards the direction of the sound, "No, why did this sound come from the direction of the village? Didn't they carry the corpse out of the village?"

The team that was supposed to return from outside the village actually walked back from the village. This is completely in two directions!

Soon, the funeral procession entered the gate. Compared with when they left, the atmosphere in the procession changed a lot. The grief on everyone's faces weakened a lot. Jiang Cheng even saw a trace of imperceptible joy in their eyes. .

According to the custom in the village, after the funeral ceremony, it is time for the host to thank the relatives and friends who came to help, and it is simpler to have a meal together.

Grandpa only had Xiuling as a family member, so the villagers had to help with the arrangement, and there was no taboo. Everyone carried out the tables from several rooms and pieced them together, and went to other houses to get some chairs and benches. Even the dinner table is set up.

Not long after sitting down, someone brought bowls of white rice and put them in front of everyone. There was a pair of black wooden chopsticks next to the rice bowls. The side dishes were fish and shrimps that are common in fishing villages.

The villagers ate very deliciously, eating a lot of rice. As the host, Xiuling greeted the guests attentively, but none of Jiang Cheng and the others moved their chopsticks.

To be precise, only the fat man thought about it. He was starving, but he didn't dare to move Jiangcheng, and kept swallowing while looking at the crystal clear rice grains.

Xiu Ling, who was carrying a rice bowl, came over and asked concerned: "Why don't you eat? Is it not to your liking?"

After thinking about it for a while, Jiang Cheng pursed his lips, his eyes turned red, and said with a sob: "We are newcomers, the villagers of Wugong Village rescued us, but we didn't do anything, and when we encountered such a thing again, we felt uncomfortable, what should we do?" Do you want to eat plain rice?"
