Chapter 1034: Young and Promising

"Vigil?" A short, fat man who finally came to join us frowned unnaturally. After a moment, he said in a consultative tone: "There is nothing wrong with keeping vigil. It's just that We people have been lost in the mountains for a long time tonight, and our bodies really can’t bear it, otherwise..."

Unexpectedly, before he finished speaking, he was beaten by the old man. He said, "Masters, don't worry. We have already thought of this. We have found a place for you to rest, which is the best in our village. You can rest peacefully first, and we will arrange for you to rest later." Night vigil. "

"Later means..." someone said tentatively. After all, it was completely dark and it had obviously been dark for a while.

The man stuck the torch in his hand on the ground and said to them: "It's midnight."

The fat man calculated in his mind. He knew that the third watch in the middle of the night was called the third watch. The third watch was twelve o'clock in the middle of the night. At this time, they were asked to keep vigil for the drowned people. It would be strange if nothing unexpected happened!

Some people tried to use other excuses to evade, but the old man and the man shouted back. Everyone finally stopped struggling. It seemed that this night must be kept.

"Where are we going to rest?" Jiang Cheng asked: "Also, where is the mourning hall where we are going to keep vigil?"

The old man couldn't hide his mood when he heard that they had agreed. , with wrinkles on his face, "Masters, please don't be busy. Just rest here for a while. Little old man, I'll be back as soon as I go."

After that, he left alone.

When the man saw the old man leaving, he also said that he would arrange for the villagers to help the masters clean up the room and let them wait here. He said that he would take them there after the cleaning was done. After that, the man also took the rest with him. The villagers left.

In the blink of an eye, Jiang Cheng and the others were the only ones left here.

Everyone feels like they have been cheated, but they are angry because everyone can see that there is something wrong with it, but they cannot refuse.

Not entangled in this issue, someone spoke slowly. He was a muscular man, wearing a white short-sleeved shirt, and his brows were full of masculinity. "It is fate that we meet in a place like this." , my name is Chen Hao, I am an athlete, this is the third time I have entered such a world."

"The first two times were also through a bus?" Someone asked.

Chen Hao shook his head, "That's not true. This is my first time coming here through this car."

Someone started to speak, and the three people who came with Chen Hao also began to introduce themselves. Among them, the taller one The short man's name is Pang Xiaofeng, a college student.

The man with bandages on his hands and injuries on his face calls himself Lei Mingyu. He is a small owner of a second-hand car dealership. The injuries on his body were caused by a car accident some time ago.

The remaining fair-looking man introduced himself in a low voice as an online writer.

"What are you writing about?" The fat man couldn't help but become interested.

"Spirit...supernatural." The man seemed to have a personality. He spoke in a low voice and quickly looked away as soon as his eyes came into contact with the person.

"Then you just don't have a job?" Someone grinned and joked, "And...you have the guts to write a supernatural novel?"

"Just to make ends meet." Man He muttered in a low voice: "I have to look at my boss's face when I go to work. I have a bad stomach. I don't like the pie the boss draws for me." I can’t digest it. The boss doesn’t like employees like me, and readers are easy to coax. I wrote a book to scare them. Instead of scolding me, they praised me and gave me subscriptions and rewards. Where can I find such a good job?”

“What’s your name?” Jiang Cheng thought this person was quite interesting.

"Du Moyu." The man finally introduced.

Next was a middle-aged man who looked rich. The man smiled and said, "My name is Jia Jinliang. If you don't mind, just call me Lao Jia. I help a friend manage a company, a transportation company."
< br>"By the way, this is my driver. Just call him Abiao. He is from Southeast Asia. He just came to China not long ago and he speaks average Mandarin." Jia Jinliang patted the shoulder of a man next to him.

The man was short and had brown skin, but his eyes were very sharp. He nodded along with Jia Jinliang's words and had no expression on his face.

"My name is Yu Chengmu. I retire at home and help my friends appreciate antiques in my spare time." The skinny old man in coarse cloth began to introduce. The old man had a goatee and a slight hunchback.

There are two people beside Yu Chengmu, a middle-aged man wearing a black vest, and a young man who has just grown up. The middle-aged man is named Zhang Junyu, and the young man is named Zhou Qing. They are both old people. apprentice.

After these people finished their introduction, they turned their attention to Jiang Cheng and Fatty.

Especially Jiangcheng.

"Jiang Cheng, one of the top ten outstanding young people in Handong Province, a national scholarship holder, a brave and advanced individual at a young age, with a bright future." Jiang Cheng took a breath and continued: "I don't have a job now. It’s not that I’m not good enough, it’s that the doctor insisted on persuading me to stay in the hospital for observation for a while.”

The fat man’s hair stood on end when he heard this. He didn’t know what the doctor was doing. Sick, he spoke immediately, trying to draw everyone's attention to himself, "Hello everyone, my name is Wang Fugui, and I am a truck driver who is not an orphan."

As soon as he said this, everyone looked at him The look in his eyes was similar to that of looking at Jiang Cheng. After a while, Du Moyu, who relied on readers to feed himself, swallowed his saliva and asked tentatively: "You... did you run out of the same ward?"

Fortunately, someone came and rescued them. The man came over with a bamboo basket on his back and a smile on his face, "I'm sorry, masters, for keeping you waiting for so long."
< br>"You're welcome." Yu Chengmu replied lukewarmly.

As if he didn't hear the dissatisfaction in Yu Chengmu's words, the man turned around and led them out, his tone was as respectful as ever, "Masters, I will take you to rest first. The rooms are tidied up. "Come out."

Following the man, Jiang Cheng and the others were surprised to find that the village was much larger than they thought, and the terrain was very complicated. It was divided into several layers inside and outside. Even a layman like Fatty could see it. , I feel very mysterious.

"Incredible." Yu Chengmu squinted his eyes and twirled his goatee, with his apprentice Zhou Qing supporting him. "I am afraid that there are experts involved in the design of this village. It looks simple and ordinary from the outside, but it is ordinary from the inside. Hidden mystery.”

The man walking in front scratched his head, "I don't know about this. Our ancestors have lived here for generations. When my grandfather was here, the village was like this, and it has never changed much. As for the experts you mentioned, I am more Not sure.”

Turned a corner, The man stopped and pointed not far away, "Masters, please look, that's where it is."

Jiang Cheng looked in the direction of the man's finger. There was a large courtyard there. A little dilapidated, but two large bright red lanterns hung in front of the courtyard gate. (End of this chapter)
