The eight people who were still alive soon met the conditions for moving in.
Feeding pigs, cutting firewood, shopping...all kinds of ordinary-sounding events.
But everyone knows, judging from the strange smiles of the villagers, that these incidents contain dangers that they are unaware of.
Not surprisingly... no one is looking for that weird old man.
At the beginning, those shocking words made many people avoid him like snakes and scorpions.
When the other assessors discovered that Li Xiaoshuai, who had finally walked out, walked in front of the strange old man, they were all stunned.
"Old man, I live here, what can I do for you?" Li Xiaoshuai asked.
The strange old man stared at Li Xiaoshuai who came in front of him.
For a while...
He said coldly, "I want a debt! Many people in the village owe me debts. If you want one back, I'll let you stay for a day."
Want to settle accounts with those monsters?
Li Xiaoshuai's heart suddenly sank... This sixth sense won't lie to me, right? You won't be photographed to death like a tall woman, right?
After a moment of silence, Li Xiaoshuai still chose to believe in his ability.
"Okay, I agree." Li Xiaoshuai said.
The strange old man sneered, walked into the house, stretched out his hand, and threw out a very old book full of yellow-brown oil stains.
He turned to the first page.
"Old village chief, I owe half a catty of lamp oil."
Li Xiaoshuai immediately turned over.
He made up his mind to take the assessment here. No matter what happened, he would not go to the village chief who felt the most dangerous.
"Tiejiang Zhao - I owe you 5 pounds of meat."
"The widow and her son - owe, 20 bundles of firewood."
"Wang Laosan - I owe you a favor for saving my life."
"..."
There are all kinds of strange debts recorded in it.
After roughly looking through it, I found that there were at least a dozen or twenty people who owed him something.
Seeing that other people are starting to work hard, they are afraid that darkness will fall. Li Xiaoshuai thought about it and hurriedly turned over to Tiejiang Li who was in need of meat.
"Old man, where does Blacksmith Zhao live?"
The strange old man sneered, ignored Li Xiaoshuai, turned around and entered the house, and the door slammed shut.
Li Xiaoshuai froze in place.
"Blacksmith Zhao lives over there. There is a blacksmith shop. You can see it when you walk over." Suddenly, the village chief opposite smiled at Li Xiaoshuai and pointed in the direction.
Turning around and looking at the door of the room, Li Xiaoshuai felt unspeakably awkward under the village chief's kind smile and his squinting eyes. However, Li Xiaoshuai still forced a smile and said, "Ah... Haha, I understand, thank you, village chief." Without looking back, he quickened his pace and left.
In the evening, in the otherwise lifeless village, the closed doors of each household were opened simultaneously.
All kinds of weird people appeared on the road Li Xiaoshuai passed by.
For example, I just walked past an old mud house and the door opened. The man in the shroud with only a thin layer of skin attached to his two legs was broken, dragging his bloody legs and crawling in front of him as if he was unconscious...
For example, a pair of children were holding a human head that was full of maggots, half rotten, and full of rancid smell, and they were kicking and playing with it happily... maggots and carrion were everywhere.
Under one strange incident after another, if Li Xiaoshuai was not naturally brave, he would be so frightened that his legs would be unable to walk.
The blacksmith shop is not difficult to find. On the street in the evening, an old stone shop with the word "blacksmith" on it appeared in front of Li Xiaoshuai.
At the entrance of the blacksmith shop, a young man wearing Blue Star's modern clothing was communicating with a giant man who was more than 2 meters tall.
Not long after, the man left.
Li Xiaoshuai immediately walked up and said, "Brother, are you Tiejiang Zhao?"
Tiejiang Zhao glanced at Li Xiaoshuai and said, "Boy, do you want to move in too?"
also?
Li Xiaoshuai was startled...
He glanced at the young man's background. Did he just talk to Blacksmith Zhao about moving in?
This man is not one of their group...
Could it be that...they are not the only 11 people who came in for the assessment? But, 11 of them, lined up together?
Li Xiaoshuai didn't think much more, got into the topic, and said with a dry smile, "No, no...Brother Blacksmith Zhao, I'm here to ask you for a debt for the old man over there. I said you owe him 5 pounds of meat."
"Want a bill?"
Tiejiang Zhao's face suddenly sank as if his tail had been stepped on. Those round eyes suddenly turned red, and the skin seemed to have been burned off piece by piece...the flesh and blood was exposed in front of Li Xiaoshuai's eyes.
Absolutely...
A feeling of near-death crisis surged into Li Xiaoshuai's heart.
"Brother Blacksmith, this is what the old man asked me to do. I'm just here to tell you... If you don't want to pay it back, that's okay... I'll leave right away..." Li Xiaoshuai said hurriedly.
As soon as he finished speaking, the aura of death suddenly dissipated from Li Xiaoshuai's body.
Tiejiang Zhao's red eyes gradually calmed down, and his body gradually returned to its original state.
"Stop, should I let you go?" Blacksmith Zhao stopped Li Xiaoshuai who wanted to leave.
Li Xiaoshuai complained secretly.
He knew that collecting accounts was not an easy matter.
"Brother blacksmith, do you have any instructions?" Li Xiaoshuai said flatteringly.
"Meat, since he asked you to ask for it, I will definitely return it." Blacksmith Zhao replied.
"Really!?" Li Xiaoshuai said happily.
"Of course it is true." Blacksmith Zhao opened his mouth, "But you have to exchange the meat on your body. I don't want more of yours, 5 pounds for 5 pounds."
Your uncle!
Li Xiaoshuai shook his head like a rattle, "No... no need, brother blacksmith, this matter of me asking you, can you pretend it never happened?"
"You said it's not necessary?" Blacksmith Zhao said coldly.
"..."
"Brother blacksmith, I'm thin, my meat doesn't taste good, and I'm very weak. And I'm not in good health. I might die from this cut... Then the old man still has a lot of debts for me to ask for. Let's do this... .Think about it, is there any other way here..."
Li Xiaoshuai's smile was uglier than his cry.
It's terrible.
This Blacksmith Zhao really wants his flesh, he doesn't have to run away even if he wants to!
I never thought that his words seemed to be really useful.
Blacksmith Zhao was startled when he heard that he was going to continue helping the old man with his debt. After thinking for a moment, he suddenly thought of something and smiled, "Okay, there is one thing."
Speaking of this, Blacksmith Zhao fumbled around in the blacksmith shop, and then threw a sharp boning knife in front of Li Xiaoshuai.
"You help me bring this boning knife to the butcher's house in the east, and I will give you the 5 kilograms of meat. I don't want you to work for me for free. You can do it, and I can do it just right." I’ll give you the small dagger as well.” Blacksmith Zhao said.
Butcher?
Seeing Tiejiang Zhao's expression as if he was trying to escape from some trouble, Li Xiaoshuai's eyes darkened.
It's over.
You won't send him to the butcher to be killed, right?
"Specially sharp boning knife."
"A butcher's specialty."
"It has extremely strong penetrating power against everything."
"Introduction: Never get slashed by a knife, otherwise you may be cut in half."
Taking the knife with a grimace, a piece of news entered Li Xiaoshuai's mind.
Then, the message about the dagger placed aside was also released...
