Chapter 231 Old Lady
Chapter 231 Old Lady
Everyone has confirmed that the old lady in this family is very problematic.
Everything about her is puzzling.
The four people who had just arrived today and were strangers to her were welcomed into her yard by her in a rather familiar tone.
It was clearly daytime, but he wrapped himself in a cloak, as if he didn't want to see any sunlight.
The strangest thing is undoubtedly the photo.
It was clearly her, even the wrinkles on her face were exactly the same, it couldn't be anyone else.
In other words, she is the most unnatural.
The five people hung up the shroud again, entered the yard, and knocked on the door of another room.
"Squeak——"
The wooden door opened, and the old lady's wrinkled face was revealed.
She glanced at Bai Yanliang and his group, without any surprise on her face.
"Come in."
Although she was very old, she could not see any inconvenience in her movements. She quickly lay down on the recliner and squinted at Bai Yanliang and the others.
"I am a villager in Zhongyuan Village, my surname is Wu."
"Mrs. Wu," Bai Yanliang was the first to speak, "may I ask why you let us stay?"
Mrs. Wu glanced at Bai Yanliang and said, "Why don't you know? I have already said that I will take you to see the village chief tomorrow. Don't be anxious and don't run around. I don't know what the village chief promised you. I am only responsible. Welcome you.”
There is a misunderstanding here.
Mrs. Wu's words immediately confirmed this for everyone.
Judging from her tone, the village chief seemed to have an appointment with another group of people, but for some reason, he could not go to see them immediately, so he asked Mrs. Wu to be in charge of receiving them.
"But... we have encountered something strange. If you don't explain it clearly, it will be difficult for us to stay here." Bai Yanliang looked 'embarrassed'.
After Bai Yanliang said the word "strange thing", Mrs. Wu's expression changed obviously. She almost asked in an eager tone: "What weird thing? What did you bump into?"
Judging her mood, Bai Yanliang said hesitantly: "It's not a strange thing we encountered. We just found a photo in the room you arranged."
"Photo? What photo!"
Mrs. Wu's wrinkled face suddenly changed, and she suddenly sat up from the recliner. Her movements were as fast and agile as those of the young people.
Bai Yan's conscience moved. He felt the rope on his left wrist move slightly. It was Xu Zhifei reminding him.
Bai Yanliang knew it himself and couldn't say any more.
So, facing Mrs. Wu's questioning, Bai Yanliang scratched his head: "It's just an ordinary photo. It was there when I entered the house, but it disappeared when I turned around."
Mrs. Wu's strange eyes fell on Bai Yanliang, as if she wanted to see whether what he said was true or whether he was lying.
But what she didn't know was that Bai Yanliang had been disguising his expression most of the time in the past ten years. Although some people with keen senses would still notice the difference, it was more than enough to deceive ordinary people.
Bai Yanliang didn't know whether Old Mrs. Wu was an ordinary person, but the final result was that Old Mrs. Wu's complexion returned to normal.
She lay back on the recliner, without even looking at Bai Yanliang and the others, and said, "You are dazzled."
Bai Yanliang smiled: "I think so, it must be dazzled."
Bai Yanliang stopped talking. At this time, Yu Wenxuan stood up and asked with a puzzled look: "Old Mrs. Wu, why are there hanging shrouds on every house in the village? I was shocked when I first saw it."
While talking, Yu Wenxuan patted his chest, leaving Jiang Li and Lu Guo speechless for a while.
Not only were you not startled, you jumped up and took off a shroud with your own hands...
Of course, the two of them didn't make trouble in person, they were just making secret remarks.
Mrs. Wu glanced sideways at Yu Wenxuan but said nothing.
After a while, she looked beyond the crowd and towards the door.
"It's getting dark..."
Is it dark?
Just when several people were still thinking about what she was going to say, they saw Mrs. Wu suddenly showing an impatient look. "Go back to your house. You are not allowed to go out at night."
These words immediately reminded Bai Yanliang, Yu Wenxuan, and Xu Zhifei of her first few instructions.
It seems that this village is really not peaceful at night.
"Then... I'm sorry to disturb you, Mrs. Wu."
The five people left quickly.
"Let's go." Bai Yanliang felt a strange atmosphere spreading.
This strangeness comes not only from Mrs. Wu’s room behind her, but also from the entire Zhongyuan Village...
"It gets dark so fast..."
Lu Guo murmured as he looked at the sky that had turned completely dark within ten minutes.
"Let's sigh after surviving, Mr. Lu."
Yu Wenxuan glanced behind him and narrowed his eyes slightly.
The five people hurriedly returned to the room. There was obviously no electricity in this village, let alone electric lights.
Therefore, Lu Guo lit the kerosene lamp in the house.
"Huh..." The moment the kerosene lamp turned on, Yu Wenxuan blew it out.
"Can't you light the lamp?" Lu Guo asked quietly.
"All the windows are hung with black cloth. This prevents light from outside from coming in and light from inside from going out. It's better to be careful."
Yu Wenxuan's words immediately convinced Lu Guo, and he quickly nodded and stopped mentioning the electric light.
The room soon became quiet, and the only sound in the darkness was everyone's breathing.
Xu Zhifei was very close to Bai Yanliang, and Bai Yanliang could clearly feel that her breathing became a little rapid and heavy.
And...the smell of corpse stench became stronger.
"Are you okay?"
Bai Yanliang's voice was very low, but he knew Xu Zhifei could hear it.
"Heart... dirty... very uncomfortable..."
Xu Zhifei just said five words and took three breaths. It was obvious that something was wrong with her at the moment.
The curse deepens...
Bai Yanliang didn't speak, he was thinking hard about countermeasures.
Judging from Xu Zhifei's current state, she can't hold on much longer.
Her body was decaying and her body functions were rapidly declining.
Maybe tomorrow, maybe tonight, maybe in one minute, she will die immediately.
After all, Xu Zhifei's curse was that she saw a face that looked like hers on the shroud, but... everyone had seen the shroud, why did she see her own face?
That's the problem.
In addition, Lu Guo also saw his own face. The difference was that the first time he saw it was a person, but he didn't think that person was him. Then, the stranger's face appeared in front of Jiang Li's face, and then he was frightened.
Does this matter have something to do with Xu Zhifei's situation?
It's still unknown, but...Bai Yanliang already has an idea.
"You'll be fine."
Bai Yanliang didn't comfort her, and he didn't know how to comfort others. He just said what he was thinking.
Xu Zhifei didn't answer, but the rope on Bai Yanliang's left wrist moved slightly.
At this time, Lu Guo held his breath, listened for a while, and said in horror: "Listen, what is this sound?"
