Chapter 1585 The Wedding Room
"Did you hear what that woman said to me?" Yao Shunyu looked at Li Bai with complicated eyes, "She said that you dared to talk to me like this, because you stole the man's money. Heartless? She...how could she come up with such a thing?"
Li Bai nodded sternly, "It seems that these villagers are more serious than we thought. Cruel, the men who failed to escape were not only killed by various means, but these beasts even left their corpses alone."
To be fair, after they fell into trouble in this Blackwater Village, although the customs here were weird, they still had strange customs. The food provided by the villagers was pretty good, but now that I think about it, the food made from pickled meat of unknown origin is also quite strange.
Can't think about it anymore, Yao, Shunyu and Li Bai forced themselves to calm down. Spending tonight alive is the biggest problem at hand.
"Also, we have never met the mysterious village chief of Heishui Village. According to what the villagers said, the village chief has a high prestige in the village, because the village chief's words represent the meaning of the Empress Zhusheng." Yao, Shunyu I clearly remember the way Wu Damei was so frightened that her two legs were trembling. That was fear from the bottom of her heart and could not be faked.
But this time, Li Bai shook his head slightly, "What you said is wrong, this should all be the meaning of Empress Zhusheng, and the village chief is just the spokesperson of Empress Zhusheng, or he plays the role of a sounding board. . ”
That’s not what Li Bai said. Casually speaking, she drew lessons from the full-time priests in ancient sacrificial ceremonies. In her opinion, the village chief of Blackwater Village is very similar to the priest. Everyone is in awe and even fear the village chief, mostly because the village chief has The ability to communicate with the gods, the so-called Zhusheng Empress.
What Wu Damei said in panic also confirmed this point. Wu Damei hoped that the village chief would say a few nice words for her in front of Empress Zhusheng.
If you want to find out who the Empress Zhusheng is, this mysterious village chief is an inescapable link.
...
It was late at night, and three shabby white lanterns appeared on the path of Heishui Village. The candlelight in the lanterns was erratic, as if they would go out in the next second.
"Brother Shunyu, Sister Li Bai, you guys...you walk slower, I...I'm scared."
A tall but thin man followed Yao, Shunyu and Li Bai closely Behind him, if the first two people didn't like to talk to him, it seemed that he could stick to them.
“Be strong, we are also afraid, but fear is useless, we all have to face reality.”
Li Bai tried his best to comfort Li Maochun, but also secretly observed him to see if he would find any loopholes.
The college student named Li Maochun was pale and looked malnourished. His body was swaying slightly as he walked. He was holding a white lantern and looking around nervously.
It is late at night, but the village is not completely black, but a kind of gray, as if there is a thick fog covering the entire village.
This kind of weird scene at the beginning of classic horror movies was used to Yao, Shunyu and Li Bai, but for Li Maochun it was life-threatening. His upper and lower teeth were trembling with it. Yao, Shunyu and Yu were even worried about him. He was frightened and fainted before arriving at the mission location.
But it doesn’t matter, because even if Li Maochun faints, he and Li Bai will definitely carry him over. Even if he dies, he must die at the location required by the mission, and he cannot be allowed to drag down others.
But before that, Yao and Shunyu had one very important thing to confirm, "Li Maochun, which task do you choose?"
Li Maochun almost cried when he heard the word "task". The one last night The scene of the painting teacher's mysterious disappearance still lingers in his mind like a nightmare. He was lingering in the sea, "Brother Shunyu, I...can I not choose?"
Yao Shunyu suddenly stood up, then turned around and stared at him with a half-smiling expression, "Okay Ah, then you just wait to stay and be the husband of these villagers, you thin-skinned and tender meat Yes, they will like it very much."
Thinking of the ferocious looks of those villagers, Li Maochun was heartbroken, at least that's what he showed, "I was wrong, this is better, what am I doing? I don’t understand either, Brother Shunyu, please...you and Sister Li Bai get me one I don’t know if it was because of Li Bai’s sympathy or because he was trying again, but in short Li Bai said: “If I were you, I would choose to repair the road. After all, we have to build the bridge. By the water, the black water river may be restless at night.”
"Restless?" Li Maochun was startled, then he didn't know what he thought of, and he looked even more frightened.
"That's what I think, but the final decision rests with you." Li Bai didn't bother to argue with him anymore. Regardless of whether this person was Crimson or not, it would be difficult for him to survive tonight.
Li Maochun made up his mind and nodded vigorously, "Okay, I listen to Sister Li Bai and I will choose to make up the road. It sounds much safer to make up the road."
Decided Finally, the mission location of the three people was also clear. Yao, Shun and Yu's mission was to kill people. The location was in the barren hills west of the village, not far from the wild temple last night. As for who they wanted to kill, he didn't know.
Li Bai’s task was to set fire, and the location was in the village. It was said that the house to be burned was quite evil, but the villagers refused to reveal a word more about it.
The road Li Maochun wants to repair is located in the mass grave at the west end of the village.
According to the villagers, these are the folk custom projects of the Zhusheng Conference over the years. It is difficult for outsiders to have the opportunity to participate. These are all gifts from the Zhusheng Empress.
The tasks of the three of them were not carried out simultaneously. Yao and Shunyu's murder project was the first, Li Bai's arson was the second, and Li Maochun's road repair was the last.
In order to prevent accidents, Yao, Shun, and Yu Li Bai decided to take Li Maochun with him. After all, no one trusted him. It would be terrible if Li Maochun secretly stumbling upon them while they were performing their mission. .
Soon, a group of people followed the road last night and arrived at the foot of the barren mountain in the west of the village. It was said to be a barren mountain, but it was actually a large soil slope of some size. After warning Li Bai a few words, Yao, Shun, and Yu turned around. Embark on the road to mountain climbing.
The darkness in front of them was like mist, and there were countless weird shadows shaking in the depths of the barren mountains. Yao, Shun, and Yu climbed up along a trampled path. About 10 minutes later, suddenly, a dilapidated wooden house appeared. In front of him.
The wooden house is hidden behind layers of withered trees. It is difficult to find it without getting close, but what really made Yao, Shun, and Yu feel a chill down their backs was the layout of this wooden house.
There are festive couplets posted on the door of the wooden house, and red cloth strips are hung under the eaves. It is dressed up with joy, as if it is a new house decorated for a new daughter-in-law who is about to marry.
There are two red lanterns hanging outside the door, but I don’t know if there are no candles in them, or if there were once, but they are extinguished now. In short, the lanterns are extinguished at this moment, but the dark red lantern skin is floating in the night breeze It swayed gently, like a pair of eyes of a giant beast that refused to close before dying.
