Chapter 230 Comparison
Chapter 230 Comparison
Both Bai Yanliang and Yu Wenxuan planned to look for clues now, but Xu Zhifei had a completely resigned attitude, so even though Lu Guo was very reluctant, he still followed them out.
It's evening now, the sky is very gloomy, and it's about to rain.
Generally speaking, rain hinders movement, but for this mission, it was actually a good thing.
Because if it rains, there will be no moon.
When Lu Guo followed, he found Bai Yanliang and Yu Wenxuan standing at the door, looking up at the red shroud hanging at the door.
"Listen to me, I know you plan to go find the old lady here, but what I want to say is that you can't believe everything she says. We don't even know whether she is a human or a ghost. So it's best to act together. Don’t get separated.”
When Lu Guo said this, Bai Yanliang stretched out his hand and touched the blood-red shroud hanging under the eaves at the door.
"Bai Yanliang, don't touch it!" Lu Guo quickly went over to stop Bai Yanliang.
"It's a bit high..." Bai Yanliang murmured. Because his hand was grabbed, he turned to look at Lu Guo, "What's wrong?"
"You don't want to take off this shroud, do you?"
"Yeah."
Bai Yanliang nodded.
"Don't move! You have experienced so many missions. This kind of thing is weird at first sight, not to mention the example of Xu Zhifei. If you touch it rashly, you will easily become like her. , some inexplicable curse.”
Lu Guo grabbed Bai Yanliang's wrist and persuaded him sincerely.
"No." Bai Yanliang shook his head, "I just saw an old man coming out of the house next door. He took off the shroud at the door of his house and took it to the river to wash it. This seems to be a common thing in this village. It’s a very common thing. If you just touch it, you won’t be cursed.”
Lu Guo opened his mouth, "Do you have to take it off and look at it? Can't you just observe it like this?"
"I just wanted to see the size of this dress."
Bai Yanliang looked up at the red shroud and said, "If I have the chance, I would like to take a look at every house."
Seeing that Bai Yanliang was not easy to be honest, Jiang Li and Lu Guo breathed a sigh of relief, but what Bai Yanliang said next made them feel anxious again.
"Don't touch me randomly. Even if the ghost doesn't touch you, the people in this village will beat you."
Bai Yanliang smiled: "They are all old people, they can't beat me."
Lu Guo looked at him speechlessly, "Have you really thought about fighting a group of elderly people?"
"If you don't talk about this, why are you looking at the size of the clothes?" Lu Guo chose to skip the topic.
"Of course we are looking for clues." Bai Yanliang looked at him strangely, not understanding why Lu Guo would ask such a useless question.
Lu Guo hesitated for a moment, unable to understand Bai Yanliang's meaning at all.
At this time, it was Yu Wenxuan who opened his mouth to explain.
"If the size of the shroud at the door of every house is the same, it means that the dress is prepared for one person. If the sizes are different, it means that it is either prepared for the deceased relative of the family, or it is just for peace of mind because of a certain person. I had to hang a shroud for a reason.”
Listening to Yu Wenxuan's explanation, Jiang Li and Lu Guo looked at the blood-red shroud above their heads and couldn't help but feel a little frightened.
Whether it is the first or the second situation, it is enough to illustrate the weirdness of this village.
After all, the fact that red shrouds are hung at the door of every house is bizarre enough.
Just when Lu Guo and Jiang Li were confused, Bai Yanliang suddenly stretched out his arms, as if he was lifting something.
Then he saw the blood-red shroud flying down out of thin air.
"This!" The sudden change first shocked Lu Guo and Jiang Li, and then they realized that Bai Yanliang must have lifted Xu Zhifei up and asked her to get the shroud.
Because Bai Yanliang moved too fast, Lu Guo couldn't stop him this time.
The blood-colored shroud floated strangely in the air, showing it to Bai Yanliang.
Although they knew this was because Xu Zhifei was holding it, the scene was quite strange.
Bai Yanliang frowned slightly and looked at the style of the shroud. No matter how you looked at it, a blood-red shroud made people feel uneasy. It was too red, as if blood was dripping from the surface of the clothes.
At this time, Yu Wenxuan also came over with a shroud. He just ran to the opposite room, jumped up and took off the shroud.
Lu Guo stared at these two madmen with wide eyes.
"Same size, same style, for women."
Yu Wenxuan held up the shroud he held to compare with the one held by Xu Zhifei, and said.
Jiang Li always felt that the air around her was a little stagnant, and she whispered: "Maybe this is just a custom here? Every household in the village must prepare a shroud or something like that for the deceased..."
"Probably."
Bai Yanliang obviously didn't agree, but was just thinking about other things.
"If the shroud is prepared for the same deceased, then who the deceased is is very important. Maybe it is her who will kill us this time."
Bai Yanliang originally just said it casually, but these words made Jiang Li and Lu Guo feel chills in their hearts.
"Let's go and ask the old man who warmly entertained us about the situation in this village."
Bai Yanliang said.
"What if...she is a ghost?" Lu Guo sat thinking about the worst, "Or what if she doesn't want to tell us?"
"It's very simple. If it's a ghost, run away. If you can't run away, you'll die. If you just don't want to tell us, it's even simpler. We can tie her up and restrict her movements. She is wrapped in a cloak and looks afraid of the light. , we can threaten her, take off her clothes and throw her out in the sun, etc." Yu Wenxuan smiled, "In short, there are many ways."
Listening to Yu Wenxuan's plan, the faces of Lu Guo and Jiang Li next to them became increasingly weird.
This man...is really a pervert.
He seems to have no concept of men, women, old and young in his mind. As long as it is beneficial to him, he can do it without any psychological pressure.
"Isn't this... bad? I think that old lady is quite kind..."
Jiang Li still had her bottom line. Yu Wenxuan's words made her feel uncomfortable. She looked at Bai Yanliang and Lu Guo, hoping to get support from them.
"Haha..." Yu Wenxuan couldn't stop laughing, "Well, you are right, she is very kind, and you are also very kind. This is a very precious quality. I hope you will not lose it..."
His voice became softer and softer until Jiang Li couldn't hear him.
Bai Yanliang did not express his position. In fact, he didn't pay much attention to the conversation between the two just now.
Because he discovered something strange.
Soon, Lu Guo also noticed that Bai Yanliang's eyes hadn't moved for a while, still staring at the shroud.
"What's wrong with you?" Lu Guo was worried that Bai Yanliang would also fall into the curse, so he immediately patted him on the shoulder.
Bai Yanliang shook his head, looked at the round longevity pattern on the shroud, and said, "It's okay."
