Josh saw the elongating shadow on the ground, and the breathing behind him gradually became heavier.
She glanced out the window and suddenly stood up and opened the window.
The sun burst in instantly.
"Ah!!" The old lady screamed and hid in the darkness.
Josh didn't seem to hear it, and turned around with a smile: "Grandma, the smell in your house is quite strong, why don't you open the window to let some air in?"
The old lady huddled in the corner and sneered, her cat eyes erecting into a thin black line under the stimulation of the sun, "I'm old and can't let the wind blow, so I'd better close the window."
Josh nodded clearly: "Yes."
She closed the window again, and the darkness in the corners of the room gradually moved closer to the middle, and even had a faint tendency to fill in.
A ferocious smile appeared on the old lady's face: "Don't you like that paper man? Do you want to go over and have a look?"
Josh shook his head: "No, it's getting late, I should go."
But the old lady blocked the door of the room: "It's rare for someone to come see my old lady, why not... just stay with me!"
Josh smiled: "Okay, I just want to chat with you."
She was about to turn around and find a seat to sit down, but she saw that the paper man who had been placed in the corner just now was right behind her, almost completely touching her back. If he got any closer, he would be on top of her.
She turned around and met the blank eyes of the paper lantern.
The paper lantern looks like a woman, wearing red clothes, with her hair all tied together. She is the dress of a Moon Clan bride.
She lifted the paper lantern and put it aside. She took the paper lantern's seat and sat down: "Grandma, do you live alone? Where is your family?"
The old lady didn't expect her to be so courageous. She was stunned for a moment, then suddenly laughed out loud, revealing a pair of incomplete sharp black teeth, like the rodents of some animal.
When the old man laughed, the skin on her face wrinkled together, and a fishy smell came out of her mouth, as if the skin could be peeled off from her bones at any time.
She pointed to the paper lantern beside Josh: "My family, isn't it here?"
Josh followed her gaze and saw that the paper lantern she had just put next to her was standing next to her again at some point, looking at her expressionlessly.
The other paper lanterns around me all stood up straight at some point, and there was a faint tendency to get closer.
Josh didn't realize it and just looked at the old lady: "That's it. To be honest, grandma, I am actually the new candidate for the priestess in the village. I received the mission of the saint today to see you. I want to ask you, Why do I see only women everywhere in the village, but no men?"
The old lady sneered: "Of course men can't come out and show off. Don't you know this? Then what did the saint teach you?"
When she talked about the Saint, there was a clear look of disgust in her eyes.
Josh narrowed his eyes, ignored the paper lanterns that continued to approach, and asked curiously: "Then our village is obviously surrounded by mountains on three sides, why are there fishing nets and boathouses everywhere?"
"Of course it's to worship Lord Poseidon, you idiot!" The old lady got angry and finally revealed her ferocious face.
The eyes of the surrounding paper lanterns suddenly burst out with red light, and they all rushed towards Josh.

But said the other side.
Yuze was assigned to work in the ancestral hall, which was all odd jobs.
He was wearing ethnic minority clothing, and there were many other male players and indigenous NPCs around him.
It is said to be an ancestral hall, but it is actually similar to a temple because there are statues of gods enshrined in it.
When Yu Ze saw the mermaid on the statue for the first time, he felt strangely familiar.
The mermaid had long hair and a solemn face. He held a trident in his hand and his fish tail was slightly raised.
It is obviously a very divine face and a calm and downcast expression, but it inexplicably gives people a ferocious and terrifying feeling.
Especially the candlelight in the ancestral hall was flickering. The dark ancestral hall could only be illuminated by candlelight. The face of the statue flickered in and out of light under the flickering candlelight, as if it would turn into a monster at any time and devour people.
Yuze patted the NPC next to him: "Isn't this a mountain village? How can we offer a fish?"
"You can't be disrespectful to Lord Poseidon!" The man's face was solemn: "Master Poseidon is the god who protects our clan! How can you be so disrespectful to the statue of God! You still haven't apologized!"
Yu Ze bowed to the stone statue and apologized in a good-natured manner: "I'm sorry, Lord Poseidon, please forgive me."
There's just no sincerity.
The man glared at him: "Your attitude is known to Lord Poseidon. He will not protect you when the tide rises every month!"
"The tide rises in the sea? Every month?" Yuze raised his eyebrows slightly: "Does the tide always rise here?"
The man looked at him strangely: "Why don't you even know this?"
Yuzawa lied casually: "I'm sorry, I am mentally retarded and have poor memory. I had a fever when I was a child and my brain was confused."
The man's eyes instantly turned to sympathy: "No wonder you are so handsome and haven't gotten married yet. I guessed that no woman must like you, right?"
The corner of Yuze's mouth twitched slightly, "Brother, you have such a good eye."
The man patted him on the shoulder: "My name is Yuntian. I have been working at the ancestral hall for a long time. If you have anything you don't understand, just ask me."
"Okay brother." Yuzawa took advantage of the opportunity: "So what does this rising tide mean? Isn't our place a mountainous area?"
Yuntian patted him on the shoulder and said: "Although our place is surrounded by mountains on three sides, our ancestors have offended the gods and were punished by the gods. The village will be flooded by sea water once every month.
Later, the mermaid Poseidon appeared and couldn't bear everyone's suffering, so he came out to deter the tide and appeared in our village once a month.
But in recent decades, Lord Poseidon has completely fallen asleep, leaving only part of his divine power to suppress the tide.
In recent years, the tides have become more fierce every time, and the power of Poseidon has gradually become unable to suppress it.
The priest said that we must find the destined saint in order to awaken Lord Poseidon and bless our village again. "
【Ding! Congratulations on triggering the side mission, "Resolving the Tide Hazard in the Moon Clan Village"]
Yu Ze nodded, and shared the side mission to the group and sent it to Josh.
No wonder the houses in this village are all waterproof and moisture-proof boathouse structures.
He looked up at the mermaid statue and frowned slightly, feeling an indescribable feeling.
Yuntian touched his shoulder: "How old are you? Can you cook? Are your kidneys good? How many bowls of rice can you eat in a day?"
Yuze looked at him strangely: "What are you doing?"
Yuntian smiled heartily: "It's nothing! I have a girl at home, she is in her 30s, she can do a good job! She has made a lot of money in business, and she is very popular in the village! I think you are good, and I want to marry you two Wire."
Yu Ze looked at him funny: "You are so popular, why do you still use your brother to pull strings?"
Yun Tian half-annoyed and half-smiled: "Popular is popular, but she also has high requirements. She needs to be powerful in bed, slim and good-looking, and has a good figure. She also needs to be silly. I don't think you are quite suitable for this. ah!"
No prizes for guessing who is this Poseidon~~~
