Chapter 158 The sun and moon change the sky
Shen Dinghai wrinkled his face, "Stop talking...After experiencing Tao Yao, I now have wedding PTSD. This village chief has made such a big noise and is strictly guarding against us. , His son’s wedding must not be simple.”
Ran Ran nodded.
The village chief looked at his "masterpiece" and smiled with satisfaction, "I know that little girl like you is also a mage, but there is a gap between a mage and a mage!"
" You are just a little-known girl, how can you compare with our heavenly master? Don’t even think about struggling.”
After the village chief finished speaking, he was about to leave, but he bumped into someone at the door.
It was the black-haired boy who said nothing.
The village chief waved his hand with a look of disgust on his face, "Stay away from me! What a bad luck!"
The black-haired boy took a few steps back when he heard the silence, looking like he had long been used to it.
The village chief had already walked away a few steps, but then turned back as if he suddenly remembered something.
"Dongsheng! Did you let the outsiders in?!"
Ran Ran and the others were separated in the house by Huang Fu. Although they were a little far away from the village chief, he did not deliberately lower his voice this time, and even He also raised his voice out of anger.
Ran Ran and the others heard it clearly.
Shen Dinghai smacked his lips, "This village chief is also very smart. It was indeed this young man named Dongsheng who brought us in."
Ran Ran's eyes looked at Dongsheng far away.
"Dongsheng, he is not an ordinary person, he is a special child..."
The village chief's anger outside the house continued, "You have no brain, right?! I want you to bring more people in, but I Did you also say that you don’t need to do this during this period?”
“Now is an important period, you can put everything aside for a while! Don’t just hang around at the entrance of the village to attract people. Stay at home!”
“Keep an eye on these three people!”
Looking at the dead trees in the yard, Ran Ran realized that where they were was Dongsheng’s home.
That old woman is probably Dongsheng's mother or grandmother.
The village chief's words also made them understand that this young man named Dongsheng's usual duty in the village is to attract people.
If you meet someone who cannot enter the village, show up and lead them in.
"I thought he was a good kid! I didn't expect him to be the village chief's accomplice!" Shen Dinghai's face was filled with anger, as if his trust had been betrayed.
Ran Ran's expression was calm, "He never said he was here to help us."
"We followed him, so we can't blame him."
Shen Dinghai was speechless.
Wu Pannan, who had been silent, finally spoke, "Then what should we do now?"
"Not only Huang Fu, the village chief also sent two people to watch us. At night Can we leave? "
Ranran did not answer immediately. She stared at Dongsheng who was approaching after finishing the conversation with the village chief. The other party was still expressionless and silent.
Ranran suddenly called him.
"Dongsheng! I have something to tell you."
The old woman who had been silently tidying up in the room stopped, and she raised her old face to look at Dongsheng.
Dongsheng, however, seemed not to have heard anything and walked straight towards the house, just as his feet were about to cross the threshold.
Ran Ran stretched out his hand, pointed at the dead tree in the yard, and said with a smile: "Is this tree the kitten's home?"
Dongsheng paused and raised his dark eyes to look at Ranran.
Those are a pair of extremely cold and calm eyes. When looking at people, the person being looked at will have the illusion of being seen through.
Both Shen Dinghai and Wu Pannan couldn't help but tense up their bodies, but Ran Ran, who was being looked at directly, seemed not to feel anything and was still smiling.
"Where has the kitten gone now?"
Dongsheng looked at Ranran quietly, his lips moved, but still did not make any sound.
Finally, it was the old woman who spoke, "Our Dongsheng was seriously ill when he was a child. His throat was injured and he couldn't speak." Shen Dinghai hissed softly, "He is actually mute... He is so good-looking. It’s a pity.”
The moment he finished speaking, he despised himself in his heart.
This boy is the evil village chief’s helper. Being mute can only be said to be retribution, and it’s just that he can’t speak, which gives him an advantage!
The smile on Ran Ran's face did not change, "If you can't speak, you can always listen to us. Just now I saw that there is no inconvenience for the village chief to communicate with him."
The old woman put her old bark-like hands into the cold mountain spring water, and carefully washed the wild vegetables in her hands.
"If you want to talk to a mute, you might as well talk to me, an old woman."
"The night is still long."
The sky is orange. The light disappeared without knowing when, and without the afterglow of the sun, the sky gradually darkened.
It's almost night.
Ran Ran blinked her eyes, "I'm talking to Dongsheng because I have something to ask him. Besides, don't you have to go to work at night?"
The old woman was silent for a while, "The young lady knows a lot about the village. He doesn't look like someone who has just come to the village."
Ran Ran smiled and said: "I just listened carefully when everyone was talking. I didn't play any tricks, and the magician's tricks were even more useless. ."
The old woman sighed, "It is the best choice to listen to the village chief, otherwise you will only end up with the worst ending."
Ran Ran frowned. Wrinkling her nose, she looks innocent and coquettish.
"I think there is no ending worse than staying in the village."
"Especially for women."
When she said this, her eyes glanced at the old woman of silver hair, wrinkles, and bark-like hands.
The old woman stopped cleaning the wild vegetables, and when she raised her eyes again, her old eyes seemed to be full of autumn water that could not be dissolved.
Silence spread slowly in the room.
The old woman's lips trembled, "What on earth are you here for?"
"Before, it was just to help my friends fulfill their wishes." Ran Ran stopped her smile, "Now I want to This village needs to figure it out.”
The old woman pinched the vegetables and shook the water, but her hands were a little too strong.
"After washing, I'm going to make some food. My house is simple, and I only have these things to entertain you."
"Dongsheng, help my mother collect some firewood in the yard. .”
The so-called firewood is the dead branches fallen from the dead trees in the yard.
Ran Ran raised her lips with satisfaction. She watched the black-haired boy silently bending down to pick up branches in the yard.
Shen Dinghai murmured and sighed, "She is actually Dongsheng's mother. Judging from her appearance, she must be a grandma!"
Wu Pannan answered, "Women in mountain villages work hard. It’s normal to look older than you are.”
Shen Dinghai nodded reluctantly, “But I still think the gap is too big. Dongsheng looks like a teenager, but his mother already has silver hair. He is a weathered old man.”
"When she was talking to the village chief just now, I thought they were of the same generation."
As soon as Shen Dinghai looked at the focused Ran Ran, he became confused again, "Cousin, just now you and that old man What are people talking about?"
"I know what each word is, but I don't understand it when put together."
Ran Ran stared at the black-haired boy, " To put it simply, I am gaining the trust of this lady."
"And so far, it seems to be quite successful."
"She has already agreed to gamble with us."
"Ah?" Shen Dinghai rubbed his green hair into a bird's nest, "When did you agree? Why didn't I hear it? She wants to gamble with us. What?"
Perplexity flashed in Ranran's eyes, "I can't understand why she agreed to us so easily."
"Perhaps people are in despair for a long time. I want to hold on to the slightest bit of hope, even though I know the price of failure will be heavy."
"The content of the bet is also very simple."
"Let's see if we can transform this ancient village into a new one."
