Chapter 289 The Statue of the God in the Morning
Aunt Miao.
She is an ordinary middle-aged woman.
Just like most similar people, sometimes selfish and sometimes noble.
Sometimes they do some clever tricks, such as picking up food that has fallen on the floor, or picking out drinks with prizes in advance, but sometimes they also give some discounts to sanitation workers or the elderly who are living in difficulty.
Her whole life has been in her little convenience store.
Getting up early, going to bed late, no holidays, just purchasing, arranging, selling, dealing with expired goods, dealing with all kinds of people...
This kind of work is boring.
But it was Aunt Miao’s only thought.
She spends more time on convenience stores than herself and her children's education. She rarely leaves her cabin except for occasional whims.
therefore.
When she found herself caught by a ghost.
When I lowered my head and looked back, I saw the terrifying pale and swollen face at the mouth of the well.
Her first thought was.
“It’s over!”
"If I were gone, there would be so much work in the store, how could Lao Sun do all the work by himself..."
Wow!
A huge force came and Aunt Miao was pulled into the well, making a loud popping sound.
The six people in the main room who were waiting for her to enter the house suddenly looked as ugly as pig liver. Aunt Miao, who they had waited for so long, finally died in the evil hands.
Aunt Miao may not be dead now.
But none of them wanted to go out to rescue people. The well was very deep and there was no way to rescue them.
Wen Chao had a dark face, closed the door, turned his back, and let out a long sigh as he listened to the shrill screams coming from outside.
"That well must be disposed of tomorrow."
For now.
Most of the dangers in the burial-free village are related to funeral taboos.
But the thing in the well was an exception.
The sun cannot shine during the day, and the moonlight cannot shine in at night. It is dark and humid there, which is perfect for the growth of evil spirits. That thing is probably a ghost that has broken away from the funeral rules.
Before, she was still weak and could not come out during the day, and could only move around the well at night.
But she just killed Aunt Miao, and it may happen tomorrow, bringing unexpected dangers.
Jiang Chun wiped the sweat from his forehead, his body trembling.
"This... this Burialless Village is so dangerous. How did those old people survive here? Will the monsters in the moonlight and the floating corpses in the well let them go?"
She asked.
Others also found it strange.
Wen Chao thought for a moment and then understood.
“Because they are old people.”
The only people who go out at night are outsiders like them who have convenient hands and feet.
As for those old people, they have long been despaired of, and their bodies are about to decay, making it difficult for them to move around. They will not go out for a walk at night, regardless of whether there is moonlight or not.
As for the temptation of moonlight, some old people may even be deaf and unable to hear at all, and those who can hear have no strength to open the door for the monster...
Without Aunt Miao's thoughts, this group No more fussing, just agreed to stay awake in order and fall asleep one after another.
But after seeing the dead.
How many people can sleep peacefully is unknown.
……
What is gratifying is that it was very quiet in the second half of the night. The monster in the moonlight may have known that harassment was useless, or it could only harass for a certain period of time a day. In short, after everyone decided to go to sleep, it never appeared again.
After many dangerous baptisms, Wu Xian's sleep in the blessed land became very light. As long as there was the slightest sign of danger, he would wake up quickly.
But even he was not awakened last night, which shows how peaceful it was last night.
The warm sunshine shone into the room, dispelling the haze caused by evil spirits.
Wu Xian rubbed his eyes and stood up from the ground on time.
Except for sleeping very lightly.
Multiple experiences in the blessed land also trained Wu Xian on another skill, which is the sleep biological clock.
Everyone has a biological clock, but Wu Xian's biological clock is more accurate.
It is not the kind that sleeps at night and wakes up during the day, but sleeps when he wants, and sleeps for as many hours as he wants, with an error of not more than five minutes.
Whether it is noisy or quiet, Wu Xian can fall asleep and wake up on time.
The space of the thatched house is relatively small, and the size of the wooden bed is also very limited.
So last night, only Du E and Jian Lingyu slept on the bed, while Wu Xian and three other men slept on the floor, but the conditions were equally bad whether on the bed or under the bed.
The bedding commonly used by the elderly was stained with dirt and impossible to sleep on, so the two girls slept on the bed board. There were even mice or small insects crawling on the ground.
But the five of them are used to this kind of poor accommodation, and a house with wind protection is considered a good place.
Wu Xian took out a poker.
Get ready to go out and practice how to use the boomerang.
Currently, he only has one weapon. If he is in danger, it would be funny if he doesn't know how to use the boomerang, but he was stunned as soon as he opened the door.
I saw eleven tables appearing on the flat land in the middle of the village.
On each table, there is a statue of a god, an incense burner, and an incense stick.
"Is this... the reward for our survival last night?"
Wu Xian was the first to come out.
Others were also awake, but none of them left the room.
Wu Xian's thoughts moved slightly, and he walked over and saw a person's name written on every table.
Du E, Wen Chao, Wu Xian... tall, rich and handsome.
"Gao Fushuai... Gao Fushuai?!"
Wu Xian was stunned for two seconds.
Then he hugged his belly and laughed.
No wonder the young man named Gao refused to say his name. As long as everyone called him Xiao Gao, his name turned out to be Gao Fushuai.
Wu Xian's laughter drew the other people out of the room. They walked out, rubbing their sleepy eyes. They all saw Gao Fushuai's name in confusion.
Suddenly, the atmosphere became joyful.
Everyone was happy except Gao Fushuai, whose face turned red.
Blessed Land is dangerous and depressing. It is really rare to have something to relax everyone.
After laughing.
It was time to worship the gods, but before worshiping the gods, Wu Xian wanted to conduct a small test.
He walked up to Du E and tried to pick up the incense stick on her table. Du E did not stop Wu Xian because she also wanted to see the result.
As expected, no matter how hard Wu Xian tried, he could not pick up the incense stick.
This means that the rewards can only be claimed by each individual, and there will not be a situation where one person secretly takes away the rewards of others.
Before the test was over, Wu Xian and Du E each picked up their own incense sticks, walked to the other party's table, lit the incense sticks and inserted them into the incense burner.
This time, the incense stick was inserted successfully!
This means that they can exchange idols with each other according to their own needs, avoid choosing unnecessary things, and maximize the benefits of worshiping gods for the entire team.
The statue that Wu Xian bowed to was a statue of Tianguan Blessing Master!
The statue that Du E bowed to was the statue of Tianguan, the chief minister of marriage!
