Chapter 164 What Ran Ran Knows
As Wu Pannan spoke, her eyes were no longer aimless and unfocused, but gradually focused on a certain place.
Ran Ran followed her gaze and found that she was staring at a certain woman chanting around the fire.
The same sagging and old skin and silvery hair.
Ran Ran’s heart trembles, Wu Pannan’s mother!
She was so focused on unraveling the weirdness of Good Village that she almost forgot about it.
Wu Pannan's eyes became redder and redder as she spoke, as if blood was about to drip out of her eyes, just when she finally couldn't help but move forward.
Ran Ran took out the sachet that had "soothed" Shen Dingchuan before from the small cloth bag that she carried with her.
She placed it on Wu Pannan's neck, patted her shoulder gently, and let her take a gentle sniff when she turned around in surprise.
Wu Pannan fell down softly.
Fortunately, Shen Dinghai had quick eyes and quick hands to catch her, otherwise even if the ground was slightly soft mud, it would be quite painful to hit her like this.
I don’t know if it was Shen Dinghai’s illusion, but the moment he caught Wu Pannan, the chanting sound seemed to stop for a moment.
He was so scared that he held his breath and did not dare to make a sound.
It wasn’t until the women in the village kept kowtowing on the dirt that Shen Dinghai relaxed his vigilance a little.
"Cousin, what are you doing?" He asked almost in a breathy voice.
Ran Ran followed his example and lowered her voice, "Sister Wu is too impulsive now. We can't let her run out and take risks."
She gestured with her eyes to let Shen Dinghai look at the woman in front of the shrine, "Although I originally The idea is to talk to them."
"But looking at how religious they are about this ceremony, it is unlikely that we can get anything out of them."
" What should we do now? Stay here or go back to Dongsheng's house?" Shen Dinghai pondered.
"The village elder probably doesn't know that cousin, you have a treasure that can disable his yellow talisman. We can go back and pretend. Anyway, we can come out when we think of it. It is also a kind of adaptability."
"At least there is a bed to lie down and rest at Dongsheng's house. There is nothing but mud and trees here. I feel sick even if I lean on it."
Ran Ran knew that the last sentence was the real reason in Shen Dinghai's heart.
She looked forward through the trees and said cautiously: "My current plan is to go and take a look inside the temple."
"Is there any mystery inside?" Shen Dinghai couldn't figure it out, "It's such a small building that you can see the whole thing at a glance. There's not even a statue of a god inside. Why should we go inside to see it?"
"Could it be that the second nephew forgot that we were on the way here? Hear the sound of suona?”
"The sound clearly came from here, but it is completely empty here. There is not even a whistle around everyone, not to mention the suona."
Shen Dinghai opened his eyes wide in horror, "Yes. Ah! How could I forget this!"
"Where did the band that played the suona go? It's impossible for them to disappear out of thin air..." Halfway through, Shen Dinghai connected the previous words of Ran Ran.
"Cousin, what do you mean, there may be a cave inside the temple?!"
"I'm not sure, so I have to take a closer look to find out."
Shen Dinghai became distressed, "But with so many people around, how can we get a closer look? Wu Pannan is still fainting. There are many strange things in the village. We can't leave her here alone. It's impossible to do it in front of so many people." Move her in."
Ranran nodded, "So we can't go back to sleep yet, we have to wait."
"These people are not in good health and cannot work 24 hours a day. We have to stay here for hours and hours, and we have to wait for the time when the women and men in the village change shifts."
Shen Dinghai's eyebrows rose, and then they drooped again.
“But what if the place where these people change shifts is not in the village, but here? Then we have no chance at all!”
Ranran calmly stated his guess.
“I think it’s unlikely.”
“We have all experienced how difficult the road here is. If these people really set the handover location in the back mountain, then This means that the village will be unguarded for a long period of time every day."
"If an intruder sneaks in at this time, it will be difficult for them to detect it. The risk factor is too high." It would be much more reasonable to set the handover location in the village.”
"If outsiders who sneak in want to do something to the shrine, they must first pass through the village. This way they will not only have precautions, but also have better control."
"Last night, women were cooking at home and men were on the road. Watching the excitement indirectly proves this."
Ran Ran concluded, "The rotation happened in the village."
Shen Dinghai had a learned expression on his face.
Ran Ran continued: "Suppose it is really not as good as we expected, and the worst result happens, and they really choose to hand over in front of the shrine, and then they will think of another way."
After listening to Ran Ran's words, Shen Dinghai felt much calmer and began to run around quietly in the forest.
Ran Ran looked over with questioning eyes.
Shen Dinghai chuckled, "I understand. For the time being, all we have to do is wait! It's the same waiting, but I want to wait comfortably."
"I'll look for it. Is there a softer place for you to lie down?"
"Children should pay attention to sleep and nutrition, otherwise they will not grow taller."
"I have never seen someone as young as you, my cousin, worrying about the lives of people and ghosts every day. If you don't take your own body seriously, I, as a nephew, can't do it."
After Shen Dinghai finished speaking, he plunged into the thicker place among the trees.
It was indeed as he said, there was nothing to do for the time being, so Ran Ran just let him go.
Even if he encounters any danger that he cannot solve by himself, Xiaoyu will still be there to protect him.
As soon as Shen Dinghai left, the surroundings became completely silent, and even the soft voices disappeared.
Ranran raised his eyes and looked at Dongsheng beside him, and said something coldly.
“When are you going to speak?”
Dongsheng suddenly opened his eyes, and the hand stroking the black cat lost its strength, causing the sleeping black cat to move. Move your eyelids.
For a long time, Dongsheng couldn't recover from his surprise. He maintained that posture stiffly, staring at Ran Ran motionlessly.
Ran Ran could see the cold sweat breaking out on his fair face, and couldn't help but tilt her head.
"Don't worry about me, I'm not from the village, I can't affect you."
Maybe his eyes were sore after not moving for a long time, so Dongsheng blinked slowly.
That look was so dull that Ran Ran wanted to tease him.
"I'm shocked. I want to know when I knew it?" It was obviously a question, but Ran Ran said it with an extremely sure tone.
Without him, Dongsheng’s expression was too obvious.
"Don't you know that your mouth will betray you?"
"Although the time we got together was short, you were hesitant to speak during many of our conversations."
"The specific manifestation is that after moving the lips, they tighten their lips."
Ran Ran looked at him with clear eyes, "This is not an action that a mute would do."
" This is the action of a person who wants to speak but cannot."
Dong Sheng was surprised by Ran Ran's detailed and accurate observation!
This young child, who looked harmless, suddenly became terrifying in his eyes, making him breathless.
Dongsheng was silent, with cold sweat all over his body, but he heard slowly speaking again.
The delicate-looking girl in front of me sighed.
"I know this and scare you like this. If I know more, I will scare you to tears~"
Dongsheng's face suddenly turned pale.
