Chapter 353 Is there anything else?
The moonlight becomes darker and darker
It was like a huge black curtain, weighing heavily over the entire village.
The village was eerily quiet, a silence that could make one's soul tremble,
All sounds were mercilessly swallowed by the darkness.
The villager was still standing at the door of his house, with a blank look on his face. He was like a bystander who stayed away from the incident.
It seems that he does not understand at all what the conversation between Chuhe and these young men and women means,
The confused expression looked a little funny in the dim light.
However, when Chu He’s words reached the ears of the young men and women present,
Just like a cold wind coming from the Nine Nether Hell, everyone instantly felt a chill,
It crawled straight up the spine, and then spread throughout the body like a cold snake.
Everyone couldn't help but shudder, their bodies trembling slightly uncontrollably.
The ground under my feet seemed to have turned into a huge lump of ice at this moment,
The chill kept rising from the soles of my feet, that weird cold feeling,
Like countless pairs of cold hands, holding their hearts tightly.
"You are such an interesting person. Give you some sunshine and you will shine, right?"
Zou Baixuan seemed to have grasped something,
He immediately took this opportunity and said with a mocking look on his face.
His eyes were full of disdain, and a malicious smile appeared at the corner of his mouth: "He will just show off and talk nonsense,
And then deliberately create this kind of scary atmosphere to scare others.
Maybe,
The whole so-called weird incident tonight was a farce directed and performed by you.
Wait, didn’t you prepare two plans today?
A plan is to personally go to the villa to steal valuables,
I didn’t expect to be caught by a sharp-eyed person like me,
So you can't proceed with this plan.
So, you came up with your second plan,
That is to create an atmosphere of terror and poison my girlfriend,
The actor was found from nowhere and staged a strange and evil drama in front of us.
Your ultimate goal is to get us all out of the manor.
Your accomplices may have sneaked into the manor now,
Are you ready to loot all the valuable things in the manor? ”
Zou Baixuan spoke eloquently, and his tone was full of confidence in his reasoning.
I have to say that Zou Baixuan’s remarks are somewhat logical,
And it sounds perfect.
His words were like a pebble thrown into a calm lake,
It caused ripples in the hearts of many young people present,
Let them start to doubt it.
After all, it was Lai Yuyao who wanted to catch the thief in the beginning,
The atmosphere at that time was as tense as a fully drawn bowstring, and evidence was about to be thrown out.
When the thief is controlled,
But suddenly there was news of an abnormal phenomenon occurring at the gate of the manor.
Afterwards, everyone seemed to be pushed by an invisible force,
Falling into a strange rhythm, I came to this water village in a daze.
In this process full of terrifying atmosphere, no one has the intention to think too much,
No one doubted the mysterious young man wearing a black peaked cap and black mask.
"Is everything Zou Baixuan said true?"
Someone whispered,
This sentence ignited the flame of doubt in everyone's heart,
Everyone's eyes began to wander around Chu He, their eyes full of suspicion.
"I also think it's a bit real."
A young man said hesitantly,
There was a hint of suspicion in his eyes, and his look at Chu He became a little unkind.
"Do any of you actually believe Zou Baixuan?"
A girl immediately retorted: "How do you explain the strange plants growing in this village?
Have you forgotten the appearance of that villager from before?
His whole body was covered with mushrooms, which was not a scene that a makeup artist could create.
It cannot be said that the whole village is colluding,
Let this young man wearing a black peaked cap act in such a scene. ”
Her voice was clear and loud, echoing in this silent village,
The people around listened to her words,
Some nodded slightly, while others fell into deeper thought.
Among the crowd, some believed Zou Baixuan's statement, while others were skeptical.
For a time, everyone was talking and noisy voices intertwined in the night sky.
"Just call again and verify."
Lai Yuyao raised her wrist slightly and glanced at the exquisite mechanical watch,
The hands on the dial flickered faintly in the night.
Ten minutes have passed since I made the call to the defense team,
According to common sense, if nothing unexpected happens,
The defense team should be on their way now.
"Okay, okay, okay, I'll call right away."
The girl who called before quickly responded,
She took out her phone again, her fingers trembling slightly.
First, I subconsciously glanced at the signal grid in the upper right corner of the mobile phone screen,
Seeing that the signal is still full,
Only then did the tension in her heart, which was as tense as a bowstring, ease a little.
She took a deep breath and called the defense team back.
Sure enough, as expected, the call was quickly answered,
The familiar voice of the defense team operator came from inside again.
The appearance of this sound is like a stone thrown into a calm lake,
The emotions of everyone present instantly became tense.
Everyone began to stare at Chuhe closely with vigilant eyes,
There are even a few young and energetic boys with angry faces,
It seems that Chuhe is the culprit of all these strange events.
Upon seeing this, Lai Yuyao quickly waved her hands to signal everyone to be calm.
Then she nodded to the girl and motioned for her to ask about the specific progress of the defense team.
In fact, Lai Yuyao also had a hint of doubt in her heart at this moment.
Only she knew that at first she was taking the opportunity to punish Sun Canxing,
And the young man who came with Sun Canxing, wearing a black cap and black mask,
They were just pawns being used by her.
To put it simply, in Lai Yuyao's eyes, this young man was just a tool from the beginning.
Plus later,
Even her personal bodyguard Yu Yingjie,
They couldn't detect the aura of this young man wearing a black peaked cap,
This is enough to prove that the other party is by no means a simple character.
Therefore, after rational analysis,
Lai Yuyao is actually more inclined to believe what the young man in the peaked hat said.
"Hello, I'm the person who just called,
We are still in Xiashui Village now.
That weird evil spirit has not appeared yet, and there are also abnormal conditions in this village,
I wonder where the defense team is now? ”
The young girl tried to keep her voice steady and asked into the phone.
"Okay, we understand and will send the defense team as soon as possible. Is there anything else?"
The formulaic voice of the operator on the phone rang again,
There is no emotion at all, like a lifeless machine.
This reply made many people present, including Lai Yuyao, couldn't help but frown.
The frowns on their brows showed the doubts and uneasiness in their hearts. Because this answer is almost exactly the same as before, without any new information,
It was so weird, as if they were trapped in a vicious cycle.
Lai Yuyao frowned and walked over with a solemn expression,
He took the mobile phone from the girl's hand,
He quickly put it to his ear and asked in a serious tone: "We have clearly reported the situation here to the defense team just now,
Logically speaking, you should have already set off.
But why are you saying now that you will send out the defense team as soon as possible?
That's what you answered just now. What's going on? ”
Yes, there seems to be something wrong with this operator's behavior.
Perhaps it was because I was too busy that my mind was temporarily confused and the information was mixed up.
That's why you gave such a baffling and puzzling reply?
Many young men and women present were thinking secretly in their hearts,
A worried look appeared on everyone's face.
"Okay, we understand and will send the defense team as soon as possible. Is there anything else?"
However,
What Lai Yuyao and other young boys and girls never expected was that
The operator's voice on the phone was strangely smooth,
The sound was like a pool of stagnant water, without any ripples or any emotion that humans should have.
I didn’t notice much just now, but now I listen carefully,
The operator's voice had a numb and mechanical coldness,
It was like it was coming from a soulless machine.
This astonishing discovery made everyone present fall from the scorching summer heat into an ice cellar.
The chill was like a sharp ice knife, piercing straight into their hearts,
It almost stopped their heartbeats.
Lai Yuyao's expression changed and she hung up the call without hesitation.
Then he gave the phone back to the girl.
Immediately afterwards, she quickly took out her mobile phone from her pocket,
Called the defense team again.
After the call was connected, Lai Yuyao said into the phone: "I want a piece of fried chicken and a glass of iced Coke."
"Okay, we understand and will send the defense team as soon as possible.
Is there anything else? ”
The operator's unchanged voice rang again,
Exactly the same as the one just now, as if someone had set a fixed program,
No matter what you hear, you will get the same response.
Lai Yuyao hung up the phone with a gloomy expression. She took a deep breath,
Then he looked calmly at the young men and women around him.
At this time, everyone knew in their hearts whether Chu He was right or not, the answer was self-evident.
"Woooooooo..."
Suddenly, a girl collapsed and covered her face and cried bitterly: "Are we completely trapped in this place?
I have just graduated, and I am fully looking forward to preparing to take the martial arts college entrance examination,
Then have a bright future. ”
She cried so hard that her body kept shaking: "The current situation is, let alone the martial arts college entrance examination,
Maybe in the next second we will be ruthlessly wiped out by the evil spirit hiding in the dark.
When I think about the possibility that I might be like those people before me,
Continuously spraying dark brown liquid from the mouth, or the whole body is covered with mushrooms,
Then I watched helplessly as my life essence was being deprived bit by bit,
I was so desperate that my scalp was numb and I couldn't control myself at all. ”
"The road is at your feet. If you give up easily now, you are really waiting to die."
Chuhe clapped his hands vigorously,
The crisp applause was particularly loud in this depressing atmosphere,
Successfully attracted everyone's attention.
He looked at everyone with firm eyes and said loudly: "Are you going to give up on yourself, or do you want to fight hard and find a chance for yourself?"
"Don't give up, keep living. If you are going to die anyway, why not try harder at the end?"
One boy clenched his fists, a glimmer of hope igniting in his eyes.
"This moment of time has proven that everything you said is right, and I will follow you."
Another person echoed.
"Yes, maybe he can lead us out of this desperate situation.
Ever since the strange incident occurred at the gate of the manor, until now, he seems to be keenly aware of the clues to the problem. ”
The young men and women around him nodded, and more and more people began to believe Chu He.
Zou Baixuan originally opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say something to refute,
But when he saw the tense and terrifying situation in the blink of an eye,
His lips moved, but he finally swallowed the words that came to his lips.
He stood silently in the middle of the crowd,
Like a frightened ostrich, it buried its head low and acted like a shrunken turtle.
"Why do you plant such weird and terrifying plants in your own vegetable garden in your village?"
Lai Yuyao frowned,
He looked sharply at the villagers standing at the door of the house and asked loudly.
There is definitely something wrong with the villagers of this Xiashui Village, there is almost no doubt about this.
Even if he doesn't know the whole truth,
But it must be inextricably linked to this intricate truth.
Maybe, from this seemingly ordinary villager,
The key to unlocking this desperate predicament can be found.
"It's none of your business. This is a tradition in our village. Every household will grow it."
The villagers looked impatient and said in a stiff tone,
His attitude was like that of an angry hedgehog, full of vigilance and resistance.
"Does such a plant have any function?"
As Chu He spoke, he asked Sun Canxing for his wallet,
Then he quickly pulled out a few brand new hundred-yuan bills and stuffed them into the hands of the villagers.
The red banknotes stood out in the night, exuding a subtle magic.
The villagers’ eyes lit up instantly,
His attitude immediately made a 180-degree turn and became much gentler.
While he carefully collected the money, he said with great joy: "We call these plants dead man's grass,
This dead man's grass is really a magical thing!
No matter what the disease is, as long as you eat a little bit of this dead man's grass, you will be cured immediately,
Ailments as small as colds and coughs,
Not to mention terminal illnesses that are so serious that people would be shocked to hear about them.
I didn’t believe it at first. Think about it, how could there be such a magical thing?
But why did I believe it later?
This is a long story.
At the beginning of this year, I went to work in the mountains, which was really unlucky,
By accident, his feet slipped and he fell down the mountain.
Didn't you see it? The scene at that time was terrifying.
My ribs were immediately broken, and one of them even pierced my heart!
After the barefoot doctor from the village came, he took one look and shook his head,
The meaning couldn't be more obvious, that is, I am hopeless.
Not just him, but other people in the village who came to watch the fun,
Everyone can see that half of my body has entered the gate of hell.
At this moment, a villager who was the first to plant dead man's grass ran home and picked some.
At that time, everyone had no choice but to think of treating a dead horse as a living horse doctor.
After I ate the dead man grass, I didn’t feel anything at first, so I just waited.
After a few minutes, I felt a chill flowing through my body.
That feels strange.
At the time, I thought the injury was aggravated, and I thought it was really over now.
But who would have thought that in just half an hour,
I was able to sit up from the ground on my own, as if nothing was wrong.
You say, what is this if not magical? ”
The villagers were spitting and talking,
When his eyes occasionally glance at those strange plants called dead man's grass,
His eyes are full of treasures,
As if those were not some scary unknown things,
But a rare treasure that can bring him endless good luck.
